ARIZONA FAIR
TO BE- BEST
EVER.
So Say Press Agents
Many Features.

At a meeting of the Territorial
Fair Commission just concluded
at Phoenix the final touches were
put on the preparations for the
Fifth Territorial Fair which will
this year be held the second week
in November the Sth, to the 1 / tn.
Bigger and better than ever be-
fore, is the promise the commits
sion is giving and there seems to
be facts to bear them out.
In all of the live stock depart
ments the premiums have been
increased 20 per cent, in the
poultry show the premiums have
been just doubled, and new
show, a dog show, has been adj
ded to the list of attractions. In
addition to this, the premium
list has been increased by the adj
dition of several new classes, it
being the desire of the Commits
sion to offer every inducement
for the exhibition of fancy and
thoroughbred stock by citizens
of the territory. That they have
planned wisely, is testified to by
the many inquiries already re-
ceived by the secretary.
Naturally great interest centers
about the racing program and
probably it is enough tosay that
this year at Phoenix there will
be more horses start III the hat-
ness events than ever before raced
at any meeting held west of Chi
cago. Mr.. ]. c. Adams, the presi-
dent of the Fair Commission,
spent several weeks in the east
this summer interesting the grand
circuit racers to pay Phoenix a
visit and as in most of his under
takings, he was successful. The
great Arizona Copper Stake race
which prize was subscribed by
Arizonians, for 2:OS PAGERS and
a $4,000 purse for 2:19 trotters.
1t is likely if all of the horses en-
tered, decide to start, that each
of the events will have to be
started in two divisions. Each
day there will be two Jockey ra-
ces for which there are many en-
tries.
One afternoon will be devoted
to automobile racing, the prize
event being one-hundred mile
race around the circular track
for purse of $1,000. The drivers

PROMISE BEST SHOWING YET.

There has never been a time
when it was more necessary for
New Mexico to make a COM
plete showing of it's resources to
the world at large than now.
Drouth in some of our less fa-
vored districts have caused re-
ports of suffering and loss to go
out to the country which have
been greatly exaggerated and
which have done us a great deal
of injury.
1t is up to every district in the
territory to take active and Wig
Orous steps to overcome this
series of false impressions which
have gone out, or to allow them
to stand now will not only work
seriously against the statehood
cause in congress during the
coming winter, but will just as
seriously retard the development
of the territory.
There is no better way to
prove to the world that we are
not the suffering community we
have been reported to be than
by making a great showing at
the resources exposition to be
held in Albuquerque, Oct. 11-16
in connection with the annual
territorial fair. President Taft
will be there during the fair. SO
will several members of his cabi-
net and newspaper men from all
parts of the country, who Will
travel With the President. We
should show these men what we
have. They will tell the country
about it and the result will be
advertising of the kind we need
and of untold value.

most noted scorchers ofthe west,
and the cars the fastest. In front
of the grand stand on automobile
day the great Los Angeles to
Phoenix automobile road race
will finish and the prize of $500
awarded.
Fireworks will be given one
night on the fair grounds and the
spectacular production of last
year will be far surpassed. One
of the set pieces will be battle
at sea in which a fort is attack
ed by a fleet, the picture lasting
in all, a half an hour.
Residents of Winslow and vi
cinity according to the Phoenix
papers, will be made welcome at
Phoenix Fair week. The Fair
Commission has arranged won
derful display of Arizon' mineral,
industrial and agricultural re-
sources. Phoenix citizens will
add to this a hearty welcome to
all fair visitors. At this early
date there are many local resi-
dents planning to make the trip
and spend the second week in
November at the Fair.
