Spokane. Wash. Oct 19.-The Ell Paso
fair board hit it right when it decided
on a lot of night attractions for the
fair judging from the success of the
night events up here
Spokane's interstate fair has been
going for about 20 years now, and is
an established institution-and all the
big events are pulled off at night. The
big crowds attend at night and partic-
ular pains are taken to please them
A vaudeville performance on big
stage in front Of the racetrack grand
stand is given every evening and af-
forwards a fireworks display concludes
the performance. About seven or eight
outdoor feature acts-tumbling, ballets,
dancing and aerial stunts-are given
on the stage and then the big fire
works feature, The Battle of Clear

spectacle. after the fashion of the
Paine fireworks features, with indians,
soldiers, cabins, army post, emigrant
wagons, horses, cowboys boy scouts
and other necessary features included
The field is lighted by electric arcs
and also by fireworks. The perform
ance is spectacular and draws a big
crowd every night, while the attend
ance during the day is not so heavy.
The grounds and exhibit building are
concerts. at various points.
Even OvershadoW the Races.
Even the races in the afternoon do
not draw anything like as many people
as the night features. 1t may be that
the people here do not care for races
and it may be that they can't get
away until night, but il is fact that
the night crowds are the money max
ers for the fair and the night crowds
are the ones the management caters
to.
Cater TO After Dark Crowds.
This northwestern country is great
on catering to the after-dark crowds,
however The people seem to like to
get out on the streets after 6 o'clock
and the business men evidently be-
lieve in catering to them, for everybody
has out an electric sign and some of
them are as unique as they are elab-
crate All the coast cities, including
Spokane, which is not exactly q coast
city, use the cluster lights on orna-
mental iron posts to illuminate the
business part of the city-looking
down the main thoroughfare of Seattle
after dark il is no exaggeration TO say
that it is as brilliant a spectacle as the
world affords-and every restaurant,
of which there is one in almost every
alternate building, every hotel, every
cigar store and almost all other stores,

Editor Ell Paso Herald:
L hand you herewith an article read
by James J. Hill, at Portland, Ore, re-
Gently, which should be of interest to
the stOckmen and farmers.
If our shortage in cattle is as much
as Mr.. Hill claims. it seems to me that
the tariff should be lifted from Mexican
cattle, as well as permitting quarantine
cattle from Mexico to be handled
through the United States as our south
ern cattle are.
Only recently there was a shipment
of Mexican steers flour carS) all very
fine and choice butcher stuff shipped
from the interior of Mexico and were
routed by way of Ell Paso. These cattle
were refused admission to the United
States on account of the authorities
having found one tick in this 100 head
of cattle.
If southern cattle are allowed to be
shipped through the United States as
quarantine cattle" and handled under
this regulation, why couldn't Mexican
cattle be handled likewise?
1 understand that within 700 and 500
miles Of Ell Paso and only three days
shipment there are fat cattle the year
around. This of course is in a quaran-
tine district and this government will
not permit them to enter the United
States. Yet Texas has a stable quar-
antine regulation.
These cattle after being refused ad-
mission were sold to Juarez butchers
at a song. They were en- route TO Kan
sas City. Had this shipment passed
inspection it was the intention of the
parties to market 5000 steers in Kan
sas City.
L also hand you an article to the eff
feet that Canada may remove the tariff
on live cattle. If this is good for Can
ada, why shouldn't it be good for US?

she could be the organist when they got

he was, he couldn't pass Squire Sim

considered him a limb Of satan, because
he could scrape more fun out of that

All day her wistful face looks out
Above the sordid street,
Through all December gusty SHOWS,
Through all the August heat.
A little captive of the Sums:
Unenvious and sweet.
The other children run below,
On play or errant bent;
She watches them from dawn to dark
With great brown eyes intent
Breaking all shackles Of the flesh
In that high tenement.
Yet he who passes day by day,
And they who minister
Beside her to the few cheap wants,
Like some awed worshiper
Wonder, before that placid brow:
What use is life to her?"
What use? The great and only uses
The chance to face her fate
With folded and cheerful heart
And stalwart sou elate;
To crush the world meath stricken heety
To suffer n to wait.
o brave, sad smile that put to shame
My anguish of a day,
I owe you more than I can tell
And more than I. can pay;
A lessen for the passing need,
And courage for Away!
