Arizona republican. [volume] (Phoenix, Ariz.) 1890-1930, 1910-11-14

Now that the fair is over and the
verdict Of its success has been uni
versally assented to, a retrospective
view of it is interesting and profit
able. Some of the conclusions arrived
at are worthy of embalming in black
and white and those who wrought the
success are deserving of a word of
recognition. First of all The Re
publican and through it the populace
in general, acknowledges the scientific
work of L. n. JesunOfsky, section
director of the weather bureau SER
vice. Mr.. Jesunofsky like others who
strive for high attainment, sometimes
let's his foot slip, but in this instance
he made a magnificent showing. Af-
ter long drouth in this country it is
engage in a regular debauch of wet
weather. Arizona has had the drouth
and the rains began last week The
Republican at that time requested
Mr.. Jesunofsky to postpone his de-
bauch, until, after the fair. Having
suffered so long a week more would
not make much difference to the
farmers and it meant everything to
the fair. MIR. Jesunofsky. like true
sport, furnished during fair week the
best weather that the fair ever had. as
good as could ever be had in any
country, and Saturday night opened
up the sky tapoons. Success to him
and the prosperity of all Arizona. No
body thought he could do it. It's an
other world record
Notwithstanding the fair has al
ways been a territorial institution, it's
location in Phoenix has until this year
always inspired some little sectional
jealousy in the remote counties which
have persisted in regarding it as the
Phoenix" fair, a card from which
Phoenix has secured the chief benefit.
The fair commissioners stated last
night that their proudest boast is that
the fair has this year been fully and
unhesitatingly acknowledged in all
quarters, to have become a territorial
institution in the broadest sense of
the term. From Douglas to the Grand
Canyon and from Clifton to Ehren
berg everybody has eo-operated and
shares in the pride Of its achieve
ments. It is no reflection on previous
managements but rather is a commen-
dation of the people that they have
arrived at a proper appreciation of
what has been striven for all the
time
The value and effect of the fair is
proper editorial observation for all the
Arizona press, but it is not amiss to
mention just a few things as indica-
tive of the sentiment expressed on
all sides on which the "opinion mould |
ers" may base their judgment To do so
reference is made here only to the !
visiting horsemen, and il may be said |
that their remarks accord with those
of all outside visitors. One man
speaking for the horsemen said: "Ev-
cry horseman, owner and driver, has |
the highest praise for Arizona, her !,
people, its fair management and the |
perfection of the fair track, as well as
the hospitality of the Phoenix peo-
pie" 1t may be added tnat the visit
ing automobile men spoke in similar
vein.
The Durfees, father and son, DR.,
Nash. owner of Happy Dentist. the
biggest money getter Of the meeting /
which started in three races and won
them all: DR.. Stiles. owner of Helen
Stiles, left yesterday in high glee and
all loud in their praise of the valley.
Mr. Nash says he hopes to return
soon. Ward and Mcmahon, who have
been here before left in better spirits
than ever. on Saturday night. W. o.
Foote of Bonhan, Texas, owner of
Governor Francis, says Phoenix has
won his heart John p Gaines of
San Jose will keep his string here
for the winter and will probably buy
place and settle down" D. A Dinnie
and Al Russell of North Dakota say
Phoenix is the best place they know
