THE people evidently want the street fair
and carnival continued" said Mayor
Maloney yesterday afternoon. MANY per
sons have come to me recently and asked
me TO do what l could to induce the bust
ness men OF the city to take hold of the
project again this year. The carnival
given by the local Red Men last week on
Eighth street shows that such attractions
are popular. l am fully in favor of having
another street fair this year IL It can be
managed. 1t brings a large crowd of peo-
pie to the city from the surrounding ter
ritory. 1t gives the people an opportunity
TO enjoy themselves and spend their money
and Is, l believe a good advertisement for
Council Bluffs. l hope to see the thing
30 through
e. II. Doolittle, chairman of the ex-
ecutlve committee of the Commercial club,
said: II am in favor OF having another
street fair and carnival, as l believe the
people want one. When the Red Men could
clean up 800 with the small street fair such
rs they had last week. it demonstrates
that the people like them. If the Council
Bluffs Street Fair and Carnival company
or any set of business men will take hold
OF the project. the Commercial club, l
feel assured, will lend it's assistance
and do all in its power to make the
affair the success which 1t has been
In previous years. It may be that owing
to the short time in which to make the
necessary preparations and secure the
needed attractions that a street fair and
carnival this year would have to be held
the latter part of September instead of
during the first week OF that month, as
has been the case heretofore"
Several members of the street fair and
carnival company when asked yesterday
afternoon stated they were willing to
take hold again II the majority deemed It
advisable.

 In his letter to Governor Kibbey, Mir. Leupp says that there is no manner in which to protect the rights of the petitioners, and that they must forfeit their mining claims. However he states that the Indian tureau is working for the passage Of the bill now pending, which provides that mineral lands shall be leased and the revenue go for the support of the Indians inside of whose reservations the lands aye located
 Should this bill pass, it will be the means Of opening up much rich min ing territory in Arizona from which the prospector is now barred by reason O the law which prohibits the Ioca- ton or development of mining claims on Indian reservations.
