seattIe's Congress of Wonders to Be
Exhibited at Coming Fair viii
Include Every Novelty
Possible

Yesterdays paper contained a de-
scription of some of the many attrac-
tions of Pay Streak, the streets OF
Cairo, war path and carnival OF Won
ders of the A.-Y.-P. fair.
Believing that our readers would De
interested in full description OF these
wonders we continue today
The Spanish theater is just as 1t was
taken out of Madrid, and stars VINO
trod the boards there will tread them
here. 1t is altogether new to the west
and with an excellent Spanish orches-
ira In native costume will prove
novelty of refinement and class.
John Cort's arena is something
wholly new in the list of attractions
1t is a huge enclosure with seating
capacity of 1000, and in it throughout the
fair the worlds greatest boxers, the
champions in all the weights, the lead
ing wrestlers, among whom will be
Gotch, Roller, Hackenschmidt and
Mahmout the Turk, will show their
class with the gloves and on the mat. IT
will be an athletic carnival the like of
which has never before been brought
off. John L. Sullivan, the greatest of
them all in the day that is gone, Will
be a star attraction, and he will have
with him Jake Kilrain, Charley Mitchell

great in the time of the skin-tight
glove and the greensward.
The "old MILL" always one of the big
money makers, is established on the
south bank of the Pay Streak in an
ideal position. 1t is one of the most
picturesque of all of the streak at
fractions and offers a world of fun, for
it leads by gondola through hidden
chasms and fairy like dells, over a
swiftly flowing stream.
The Klondike mine will be another of
the wholly new ones. 1t VIII reproduce
a placer mine of the Dawson country
in full operation and visitors may see
the daily cleanup of real gold dust from
real Klondike gravels. There will be a
stretch of the Yukon trail with its
roadhouse malamute dog team, rein
deer and moose teams and all of the
rest that goes to make the northland
romantic and intensely interesting.
To Be Attractive
The Japanese village and the Chinese
village will be two attractions of very
large interest, yet so widely different
in every essential that they will in no
wise appear as competitors, one with
the other. In the japanese village a
tea garden and tea house of Toxic is
reproduced, the same in which Admiral
Sperry and the officers of the fleet We're
entertained. and the same dainty little
geishas who entertained them there
will do so here. There will be Jap
anese theater,. cafe and the usual
bazaars. There will be also rice field,
with native laborers planting the roots
and singing as they work.
The Chinese village will be another
reproduction of the life at home, faith
full in every particular. The theater
will be a feature, and a section of one
of the most famous streets of Pekin
will be pictured. The building alone In
the Chinese village cost $4,000.
Hunting in the Cascades" offers the
man behind the gun everything in the
way of big game that can be found In
the mountains of Washington to shoot
at. Everything is in motion all of the
time, and the man who would try his
skill may have his choice of dickey
birds or cougars to shoot at.

HOLDUP AND BURGLARY
ARE REPORTED TO POLICE
Man Held Up by Three Mexicans
Loses $25.75-Jewelry Stolen
from Residence

Matt Ostich. S12 California street, re-
ported to the police yesterday morning
that he was held up by three men,
either Italians or Mexicans, near
Bunker Hill avenue and California
street, at 10:40 o'clock Monday night
and robbed of $2575.
Ostich told the detectives one of the
robbers held long knife over his head
while the other two searched him.
Fl. G. Ward, 1446 Burlington street,
reported to the police yesterday morn
ing he and his wife returned home after
an absence of several days and found
their house had been ransacked and
number of articles of jewelry taken.
He gave the detectives description
of the missing articles, and when the
latter searched among the quantity of
stolen property that had been recovered
recently, found most of the jewelry,
which had been taken from the room of
Dave Blanchard, who was arrested by
Detectives Jones and Boyd several days
ago on two burglary charges.

House Upside Down Dream
The "house upside down is what is
termed by the gentlemanly press agent
"a scream" 1t is a case of climbing d
stepladder to play the piano and kick
ing flies off the ceiling with the HUI
man foot tour of the premises
leaves one so much upside down" that
full walk of the Pay Streak falls to
clear the brain of the illusion.
Carlo Marchetti, the A.-Y.-P. COM
missioner to Europe, brought back with
him a colony of the natives of the tiny
republic of San Marino in the heart OF
italy. He will reproduce the palace of
state, a cafe, theater and other fea-
lures of the life in the queer little land.
A San Marinan orchestra will play and
San Marinan actors will look across
the footlights, and the cafe will be the
only Italian restaurant in Seattle.
"Dixieland," a magnificent southern
spectacle and reproduction of southern
plantation life, is an attraction of much
human interest. 1t is entertaining and
at the same time educational to de-
gree, and it is the first time that the
west has been given an opportunity TO
look it over.
"Aladdins magic swing" is counted
one of the best illusions and thrills
produced in recent years. 1t occupies a
prominent place on the Pay Sreak and
is financed by Capt A. W. Johnston,
the Nome millionaire, who has builded
d handsome home at Medina.
Fighting the Flames" which is a
pyrotechnic show, the Anacortes glass
blowers, the mirror maize and dozen
others complete the streak and make
the most notable collection of amuse-
ment ever brought together.

Fine Drinking Water Found.

Just as the News was going to
press last week word was receiv-
ed that water had been struck in
the Court House well butwe were
unable to give many particulars.
Good clear water was found at a
depth of 392 feet and in less than
ten hours the water had risen in
the we'll about 325 feet. A sub
stantial brick house was built to
protect the four horse power
gasoline engine which was neces-
sary to install in order to draw
the water out of the three inch
hole. The water is pumped by
this engine into a large tank stu
ated inside of the court house,

Want to Establish Steam Laundry.

We understand that parties
have made proposition to the
citizens of this city looking to the
establishing of a modern steam
laundry here, the proposition be
ing to establish a laundry costing
from four to five thousand dol
lars and the citizens of this city
to take stock to the extent of
about 100000. According to
those who have the matter in
charge the persons desiring To
establish the business are eX-
perienced laundry people and
have plenty of capital but they
desire the support of the Canyon
City people in the matter of this
small amount of stock which is
to be limited to the sum of 800
to each subscriber.

is Made by the Department.

Postmaster Oscar Hunt was in
receipt of a notification last Mon
day from the Post Office Depart
ment at Washington increasing
the rates of rentals on boxes in
the local post Office for the com
ing quarter. The increase aver
ages about one third more than
the former prices. This is on
account of the advancement of
the office on account of increased
postal receipts, there having
been adopted sliding scale of
rentals according to the amount
of postal receipts.
The rates for the coming quar-
ter will be, for small lock boxes,
10 cents; medium lock boxes, 60
cents and the large lock boxes
10 cents per quarter. The for
mer rates were, 81. 10 and 60

Baines of Portales met our coun-

were in an auto and were out
after some men who had stolen
horses near Portales and who
were reported to have been seen
southwest of this city Tuesday.
The officers only tarried long
enough to fill their gasoline tank
and eat a bit of dinner after
which they hurried along their
way in the wake of the horse
rustlers.

Football Prospects,

The first part Of last week the
prospects fora good football team
to represent Canyon City were
very bright, but it seems that
they have grown to be very dim
this week. There is any amount
of good material to make a good
football team and there is no rea-
son why, with the bunch of hardy
looking fellows and a little prac-
tice, Canyon couldput out a team
that would be a winner and have
a successful season. A meeting
was held at the City Pharmacy
in regard to organizing a team
and a list of about thirty pros
pective players was made out,
the different qualities of each
was discussed. 1t was decided
to have several men talk to the
merchants and try to induce them
to help them in the way of pur-
chasing uniforms and equipment,
Now, since Canyon has secured
the Normal, taking care Of the
rising generation in an educa-
tional way, what are you going
to do for the amusement of our
young men? This is matter for
your consideration, Mr.. Business
Man. The expenses Of a football
team are not 50 great as that of
a baseball team and the money
could be gotten up in one day.

from which place it is distributed
to the different places where it
is needed. This water is of a
quality that cannot be found only
on the Plains and is very fine,
cool drinking water right out of
the well. The next question is,
"Will the county or city build a
watering trough" Canyon needs
a public watering place very
badly for the stranger coming
into our town has no place to
water his horses whatever. a
good one can be built at a very
small cost and will prove a great
deal of benefit to the public.

NEW PASSENGER
STATION is ASSURED
MOVEMENT FOR RAILROAD IMPROVEMENT
RESULTS IN SATISFACTORY REPLY.
General Manager kuuns Writes That He Hopes
TO Begin Work on New Depot
Early Next Year.

About the 10th of this month a
movement was begun looking to-
ward the improvement of the
local railway station in this city
and it was suggested that a peti-
ton to the railway officials be pre-
pared and forwarded to them
which was done, practically ev-
cry citizen of the city having
signed the petition that afternoon.
On the 11th a letter was written
to the General Manager stating
what had been done and request
ing reply relative to the matter
and the reply is in the hands of
l.. E. Cowling who had the mat
ter in charge and is as follows:
Amarillo, Sept. 20, 1900.
L. f. Cowling,
Canyon City, Texas.
Dear Sir:-I have your letter of
the 18th instant inclosing petition
for a new depot at Canyon City.
If | am able to carry through
present plans. hope begin work
upon a new station in your city
the early part of 1910.
Yours truly,
G. w. KOUNS,
General Manager"
Judging from the letter it ap-
pears that the railway officials
had in mind the work
that was suggested but the peo-
pie of this city did not know this
and therefore took steps to ascer-
tain what was proposed to be
done. And they found out.
While the letter does not state
Just what size the station will be
or what the station is to cost, it
is given out through private
sources that it will be large
enough to accommodate the large
iyvrease of business which is ex-
pected here on account of the To-
cation of the West Texas Normal
and on account of the extension
of the Plainview branch through
to Coleman, thus making Canyon
City a junction point on two great
railway lines. 1t is also said that
the building will cost somewhere
between $15, 900 and 100000, and
is TO be one of the prettiest along
the entire Santa Fe system of
railways.
