1Atbh1iC AOOiNS llhG si 4iAhiS hpNAAiA at fair time Everyone seems busy from the county road officials down to the ever hungry hobo. The judges stand and the speakers platform arc more than half done. Several men are at work digging trenches to cook the beeves in, while others are at work on half a dozen sign boards, the largest of which will be eighty feet long and four feet high. They will be used to advertise Glendale land and its possi- | bilities. The streets are covered on both sides with gay bunting. Two men who are professionals at decorating | have been engaged for a week to do nothing but dress Glendale up in her gayest rags The beet factory has a bran new whistle fixed up ready to let the neighborhood know Gncluing PhOe- nix) when the sports are commenced on Saturday morning. It will necessi- tate a twenty-five horse power boiler alder of sports.
 The Phoenix Indian School band of twenty-five pieces will furnish music all day. The citizens are justly proud of their track which is now in per feet condition, the county roads are be- ing covered with straw to prevent noise and dust. Many extra deputy constables have been sworn in to assist in keeping order The whole day is to be devoted to sports.
 Glendale will also challenge all com CTS to a tug of war and some very fine prizes will be given away. Moth ing will be for sale Everything will be given away free. Arrangements have been made to feed 2,500 people. There are no side shows, but every thing is open and free and everyone is invited.
 The special train from Mesa and Tempe will connect with the Santa Fe train in Phoenix, which will be held in order that all residents of those towns may have an opportunity of see ing the Glendale fair and also return the same day at excursion rates. The noon train out of Phoenix will also accept excursion tickets. Francisco Montana has a saddle COW which he is willing to race against any other COW in the county and he also says he will be willing to bet on her speed against any burro in the district, so if one owns a shaggy, long ear, trot him out.
 In case of fire the beet factory is now in a position to assist in putting it out, having three wells pouring out six inches of water apiece and the pumps working full blast.
