BIG IMPROVEMENTS
FOR ARIZONA FAIR.
Seating Capacity for Races Has Been
Increased Over One Thousand.

The premium list of the fourth an
nual fair has been prepared and
copies are being given out by Secre-
tary Kirk at Phoenix. The list this
year is gotten up in pamphlet form,
the same as former years.
The preface is very brief, but to
the point. 1t says:
SIN announcing the fourth annual
territorial fair, the commissioners
do so with the assurance of giving
the people display larger and great
er in every respect than any of it's
predecessors. The premiums have
been increased in almost all of the
departments, and our premium lists
will now compare favorably with
those of any of the great state fairs.
SIT has been the effort to consider
carefully all suggestions along lines
tor the betterment of the fair as
whole, and this will be the policy of
the commissioners for all time to
come.
Increased space for exhibits will
be provided this year, an addition
to the grand stand will be construct
ed, adding more than a thousand to
the seating capacity, and, altogether
the arrangements for the accommo-
dation of exhibitors and visitors will
be more complete in every respect.
SIT is with pardonable pride that
the commissioners point back to the
last three territorial fairs, all of
which have marked an epoch in the
steady advance and growth of the
remarka BILE resources of this terri
tory. Each fair has shown great im-
provement over its predecessor in
increased exhibits, greater attend
ance and financial success. The Ari-
IONA territorial rair is no longer an
experiment, but a permanent insti-
tuition, which each year tends to
place before the people of the world
the illimitable richness of Arizona
soil and the vastness of her re-
sources"
Ali school children are to be ad-
mitted free to the grounds on the
first day of the fair. Entries close
at p. N. Saturday, November I, at
which time drawing of numbers tor
place will occur.
There are 120 pages in the. pre-
MUM list, exclusive of the covers.
Phoenix advertisers have patronized
the list somewhat more literally than
in former years.

The Decline in Coal Production.

"The appointment of a receiver
for one of the larger coal-mining
companies of Pennsylvania calls at
tention," says the Mining Journal,
E'to the weakness of the coal trade
which has resulted from the indus
trial depression. The returns of
railroad traffic, which are made in
sufficient numbers from various coal
producing sections to indicate the
general course of the business, show
that during the seven months of 1908
which have passed the production
and shipments of steam coal have
been only from 80 to 10 per cent. OF
those recorded in the corresponding
period of 1907. So serious a loss in
business is sufficient to strain the re-
sources of many coal companies; and
to this is to be added a reduction in
prices resulting from the smaller de-
mand. The loss in earnings is offset
only in small degree by lower labor
costs. Fewer men are employed, of
course, but there has been no material
decrease in the wage scales; while
the general expenses, fixed charges
and depreciation are unchanged.
SIN the special case to which refer
ence was made il our columns re-
Gently, the company for which a re-
ceiver was appointed is itself entirely
solvent, its present difficulties being
due to an expansion of capital
through the medium of a holding
company, a device so popular in re-
cent finances. The basing of capital
ization on the business of a boom
year has been followed by the trou-
BILE and complications that have
arisen in so many other instances.
"There has been no previous in
stance in which the reduction in the
coal trade-like that in iron produc-
tion-has been so sharp as in the
present year. Coal and iron are
closely connected, and it was inevita-
BILE that one trade should be largely
affected by the other. While some
recovery is now reported here and
there, it is slow and gradual; SO that
the current year will probably be as
conspicuous by its small coal output
as 1906 and 1907 were by their great
increases in production"

Catching Fish From a Rowing Train.

In two years the Salton sea has
contributed more fish stories to Wal
tonian lore than many larger bodies
of water in several centuries. Some
of the stories have been fakes, pure
and simple, but the latest is vOuched
for by two reputable business men of
Phoenix and one of Tempe.
Billy Mckee was the star actor,
Messrs. Mckee, 7. w. Cham berlain
and J. Is. Cook. the latter gentleman
from Tempe. went to Los Angeles on
the special excursion, September y.
Mckee had never seen the SaltOn sea
and was sl1eptical Of the stories he
had heard regarding the fish along
the railroad track. He was told that
when the train passed over the long
trestle which carries the 5. p. tracks
over the sea from his coach simply
The copper era. (Clifton, Graham County, Ariz.) 1899-1911, 1908-10-15

by throwing out line.
Mckee almost exploded with wrath.
He thought his friends were "String-
ing" him, for who ever heard of
catching fish from a railroad train.
Just to show that Chamberlain and
Cook we're entitled to membership in
the Ananias club, he secured one of
the long brass rods the porter uses
to turn on the gas in the lamps,
which light S. P. passenger cars, beg
ged line and few hooks from some
one, got some meat from the diner
and prepared himself to emulate
Izaak Walton. Cook happened to
have his camera along and stationed
himself at another window, ready to
take a snapshot the moment Mckee
caught anything. Chamberlain was
at third window as a general spec
tator. He says that before they
reached the trestle he could see big
waves where shoals of fish were
swimming towards the track, anxious
for the food the dining car employees
throw them.
1t wasn't very long until Mckee
had a bite. In fact, he had several
bites. He had several hooks on his
line and four fish swallowed the steel.
Mckee is a powerful man but it was
all he could do to pull the big fellows
out of the water. One of them got
away but he pulled in three German
carp, over foot long. Cook snapped
them as they swung in the air. They
were given to the dining car people
and Mckee had the satisfaction of
eating fish he had caught from a
train in motion.

The Socialist Party Names a County
Ticket,

The socialist party of Graham
county on the 3rd of October, met at
Solomonville and nominated a full
county ticket with the exception of
district attorney. The ERA last
week knew nothing about the inten-
ton of the party to nominate a
county ticket and it was few days
after the convention before it was
made public. The convention result
ed in the nomination of a pretty
good ticket and if the party was
stronger some of the candidates
would probably poll a good vote.
The following is the ticket:
Council, II. F. Kane.
Assembly, L. Watson, w. F. Benson
Supervisor, Geo. w. Williams, j.
S. McFate.
Sheriff, J. w. Cline.
Probate Judge, J. S. Waddill.
Treasurer, w. C. Neese.
Recorder, Walter Doudna.
School Superintendent, Mrs. E. B.
Coleman.
Surveyor. S. E. Bailey.
Clifton, Justice of the Peace, G.
II. Chapman; Constable, J. Davis.
