FIRST STEPS TOWARD
DECORATING FOR FAIR
City Will Again Don Gala Attire to
Greet Visitors to Big Show.

Definite action to insure that Phoe-
nix will again be decllcd out in gay
cOlOrs and lights for fair week has
already been taken by the decorating
committee. The system that was so
successful last year, that of assessing
each business man so much per front
foot, will again be followed. Collec-
tons viii shortly be begun, but it is
probable that much less than was re-
quired last year will be required.
The decorating committee consists
of NJ. c. McDougall. r. B. Burmister,
Barry Goldwater and P. A Tharald-
son. This committee has done splen-
did work in the past, the members
giving their services free of charge
In fact, they pay as much in pro-
portion to the frontage of their places
of business as anyone in the city.
Many favorable comments were
heard last year upon the way in
which Phoenix was decorated for the
fair Much of the paraphernalia is

JEWELS PINE FOR
TEAMS TO CONQUER
Bill AIvord's Nine Confident II Can
Beat Anything Within Speaking
Distance.

Bill Alvord's Jewels believe they
have reason to feel more or less ches-
ty because of the class shown in the
article of ball they have presented in
the contests of the past few Sun
days and like Napoleon, they are
seeking more worlds to conquer. They
have beaten everything in the shane
of a ball team within speaking dis
lance and they long for an encounter
with team worth while.
Somehow the Jewels occupy a
unique position in local baseball cir
cles. Not until the advent of Bill AL
word in Phoenix was it known that
such material as composes the Jewels
was to be found in central Arizona.
The talent must certainly have been
here, for no importatiOns to speak Of
were made, but that talen was certain
ly latent Evidently it needed but the
touch of the artist or the sound of
the masters voice" to bring it into
life and activity.
There is no presumption upon the
part of the personnel of the Jewels
that they could walk away with con-
tests between some of the teams in
the lower tier of counties, but there
Arizona republican., 1910-10-27

isn't the money in sight to warrant
bringing teams from a distance for
one or two games. Transportation
and hotel expenses are considerably
heavier than the usual returns from
a local Sunday game, and it has
therefore been necessary to turn down
the propositions of teams from a dis
lance to come here.
Just because they cannot find a
team which they have not already
shown to be unable to give even an
interesting battle, no game is sched-
uled for next Sunday, and there is
some doubt if a team worth while
meeting will appear for some time.
The Jewels are ready to meet any
Corners where it isspractically certain
that at least the expenses will be
realized. And the Jewels claim but
one game will be necessary to send
any nearby team into the tall tim
Der. SO there will be no game next
Sunday.

CITY FATHERS FAVORABLE
Five Points Loses Out for
the Present, But Will VI

gine-Size of Issue to Be
Decided Tonight.

After turning down the request OF
the Five Points department for the
immediate purchase of an automobile
fire engine, the city council last
night practically decided to call an
election for the purpose OF voting
bonds to equip the city with all the
fire fighting apparatus required for
its adequate protection. This even
ing the council and Chief Peter Sui
Ivan of the Phoenix fire department
will meet to decide how large u
bond issue is required.
Vernon Clark, president of the Five
Points department, headed delega-
ton that waited upon the council
He addressed the council. setting
forth reasons why Five Points should
have a combination automobile en-
CINE and hose wagon. Mr.. Clark was
followed by Attorney B. +. Marks,
who pointed out that some of the
most valuable property in the city
lies near Five Points The Carnegie
library, Capitol building and Adams
street school are among the struc
lures that should receive better fire
protection from Five Points. John
Norton also spoke forciPly.
Councilman McDermott moved that
the desired apparatus be purchased.
Mr. Hackett objected, that street
paving should be considered first.
Mr.. Cisney said that during the
present year the city council would
spend about $4,000 more than the
income and advocated
public subscription for the purpose
of buying the Five Points appar-
atus Neither wished to be placed
in the position of opposing the mo-
ton but objected to spending money

seconded Mr.. McDermotrs motion.

seemed to him absolutely necessary

merchants are expected to cooperate

he declared, it would cost twice as

The council finally decided to bring
action, employing a special lawyer.
An ordinance establishing grades in
Linville, Dennis and Simms additions
was read and referred to the ordinance
committee.
Councilman Hackett brought up the
matter CT railroad crossings, referring
particularly to the crossing of the

no argument to convince even the most

Just now the conservation OF national
