The Territorial Fair.

George E. Truman, secretary of the Territorial Fair, at Phoenix, November 11th, to 18th inclusive, with the following interesting in- formation regarding the coming Fair:
 The many entries made in the different departments for exhibi- ton at this early date indicates that the coming Fair will excel, by far, either of the two previously y held.
 Such an unusual interest is be- ing taken in the Fair in the diff ferent sections of the Territory that arrangements are now being made to provide proper accommodations for those who attend.
 The street car service from town to the Fair Grounds is so equiped that it can handle 5000 daily, but the daily attendance this year will so far excel that number, that arrangements have been entered into with the Santa Fe, Prescott and Phoenix Railroad whereby they are to provide special train SCL NlCC Ol CI dI II SdCIl twenty minutes to leave their station in the city to the Fair Grounds.
 All railroads in the Territory have agreed to make special pas senger rates during Fair Week, such rates in no instance being greater than a one half fare and in many instances even less.
 The station agents in the diff ferent cities and towns will be able to inform those who desire to know, what those rates are to be.
 Notice will be sent to the agents of the various stations not less than ten days before the Fair is to be held.
 The various railroads of the ter ritory have treated the Fair Com mission most generously in pas senger rates and in addition have entered into an agreement whereby they are to freight all exhibits within the limit of the Territory to the Fair and return the same to the owners thereof free of charge.
 Many attractions have been engaged to provide amusements and entertainment for those who attend the Fair and all who come can feel confident that there will be something doing all the time.

RINGUING BROS. AT TUCSON.
Worlds Greatest Show to Exhibit
 There October First.

On October 1st, 1907, the people of this vicinity will have an op- portunity of attending Ringing Brothers circus at Tucson, and it is probable that many will go from is far better than ever before, being made up almost entire'y of Euro pean performers new to America.
 The equipment of the circus is all brand new, and over a million dollars was spent in adding novel features. The greatest parade ever presented will take place in the forenoon. In it will be ,264 men women, and children, 65S. horses, nine herds of elephants and three miles of hand carved golden char iots, floats and dens, and gorgeous spectacular attractions.
 Space will permit of only brief mention of the many European novelties, presented in tent twice as big as that of any other circus. The Riccobono horses wear boots, coats and trousers. One sits in a chair and reads a paper; when the clock strikes ten he lights a candle, goes to his bed, remove his clothes, even to his ponderous boots, blows the candle out and retires. Last winter people went from all over Europe to Paris to see the act.
 An agent of the show secured, through the efforts of an American diplomat, permission from the Shah of Persia to bring to this country the wonderful Mirze Golem troupe, favorites of the Persian monarch's s court performers. It is the first time they have been permitted to leave Persia. No one ever saw the act except royal visitors at the Shah's palace.

ranks Of one denomination quit and
20 to another church where the
remuneration is not so good, are
they not prompted by pure motives?
Then why question the honesty of
the man who leaves one political
party and joins another? Every
democrat should at this particular
time put himself in an attitude of
welcome to all recruits from the op.
posing party. The principles being
advocated by the republican party
In the formative period of the new
state are sufficient to disgust every
member " fthc party and will re-.

its membership into the democratic
