FAIR
 WAS BIG SUCCESS

The last Territorial Fair to be held at Phoenix (the next one to be State Fair). from Nov. 6 to II inclusive, was conceded by all wLo have attended former fairs at that place to have been by far the greatest one in all respects that has ever been held since it's inception. Estimates by men who are in posi- tion to know. places the number of people in attendance at several thousand more than have ever been there before; more than two thousand applications for box seats had to be turned down.
 Horse racing seemed tc be the most interesting part of the pro- gram. as some of the finest horses in the country were there, and az the prizes offered to the winners by the Fair association were the largest ever offered by any similar con- cern in the West. the rivalrYamoug the different owners and drivers was very enthusiastic, and some new records were made on the track, notwithstanding the fact that the dust on the grounds and track was somewhat of an ob stacle; yet it was said that Arizona soil. the producer of big and good things, was the cause of it all.
 Indian day Wednesday, was the day of most interest 10 some, especially to Eastern people, who had never seen any of the aborig. ines of America. The Indians were all admitted free of charge, and on the inner track they car. ried on a lot of their sports for the entertainment of the people in front of the grand stand.
 Ia the automobile races some new records were made for the Phoenix track; in fact, it is said that the record made last Thurs day at Phoenix has never been beaten but once in the West and that by very small margin, and this would in all probability have been beaten but for the fact of the wrecking of two of the fastest ma chimes. Two drivers wrecked their machines during some of the fast est runs and very narrowly es- capped death; one driver, at last reports. was seriously but not fatally injured.
 The lady balloonist amused the people by making daily ascensions and parachute leaps in front of the grand stand. She also narrowly escaped serious injury at times one time in particular when she came down among the people of the grand stann.
 The great "Arizona" ca ptive bal loon, in which hundreds of people daily made ascensions. broke the cable to which 1t was attached and fioated away to parts unknown

 no one was in it at the time.
 Governor Sloan reviewed the Sixth U. s. cavalry in front of the grand stand Friday. The msnsu- vres that this we'll trained resi- ment went through presented c scene long to be remembered.
 Tbe bronco busting" contest. in which were found some of Arizona's best riders from all parts of the Territory, took place Saturday af- ternoon, and some of the most fancy riding ever seen in the Ter ritory was witnessed at this time a Coconino county boy taking first prize. consisting of one of the finest saddles in the country. mounted with silver and valued at $50.
 In the livestock exhibit could be seen some of the finest specimens to be found in America.
 The mineral exhihit was thing of wonder and amazement, not only to people from our sister states, but even citizens of Arizona acknowledged that this mineral display, 30 rich, so, rare and varied, was surprise to them.
 
 The agricultural exhibit created quite a lot of favorable comment. Some of the finest specimens of fruits. grass, vegetables and flow. CTS ever seen by man was seen on exhibition, ranging in variety from almost everything that grows from the kissed tropics of old Mex ico to the cold bleak shores of Canada.
 In the matter of exhibits, peaches of course predominated-not the, great tree variety of which our Verde valley so proudly boasts. but the beautiful, rosy checked. smiling variety that we tip our hats to, and think ot at all seasons of the year, and which would take first medal at any Fair upon this earth.
 h all respects the Fair wss . glowing success, and the rnanag- ment is to be congratulated on tte able and businessIike manner in which 1t was carried out.
 The News representative speaks in the highest terms of the many courtesies extended him by the management, and especially did be mention the name of Mr. Ned. Creighton. press representative. for the many courtesies and kind treat ment extended him. He found MT. Creighton to be a big. open hearted gentleman and good fel. low among good fellows. E Lack of space forbids giving a detailed account of the representa- tive exhibit from Coconino county, which our ables commissioner did not get togetherF It may probably be noticed in the year 1925.

COST OF PAYING COMES DOWN
Omaha is Getting Work Done at
Lowest Figure in History.
SAVING TO PROPERTY OWNERS
~ Least RT6,OOO wnn ne Cut off
the Bill for the ourreSt Year
as Result of Competi-

Here's paradox: with everything else
going up in price Omaha is getting it's
paving done cheaper than ever.
The last contracts let for paving, in
September. were At the rate OF $40 per
yard for asphalt and N,s5 for vltrlfled
brick When you contrast this with the
good old prices OF $50 to s. per yard
for asphalt and s2,B to 50 per yard for
brick. you will note difference, a saw
ing to the public that amounts TO some
thing, or course, these extreme prices
have not prevailed of recent years. but
paving Is still in service in Omaha that
was put down at those figures.
Reduction Came in March.
Real reduction in the cost OF paving
to the consumer began with the letting
of contracts in March of this year, and
II is now figured that on the work done
in 1911 saving to the property owners
of at least $4,000 on the figures Of 1910
has been effected. Here is little show
ing that will support the proposition that
It is good thing to have competition
even in the matter OF paving:

meeting of the Nemaha &C mty bar was
held this morning in the office OF Kelh-

made before the governor by Henry Nor

attorney. It developed that the county
attorney had filed a precipe for a capias

september q. and that Morgsnstern had
notice thereof on September 25. vet not
withstanding said notice he on october
8 signed and swore 10 the complaint
which was on October 4 filed with the
governor. II also developed that Nor
ganstetn had previously been demanding
the prosecution of Seaman, and that the
county attorney took time TO invest gate
same. and ascertain whether the pres
ence OF the witnesses could be obtained
since the two most important witnesses
lived in Iowa.
II further appeared that when the in.
dictment was returned by the grany Jury,
Seaman was confined in tho Kansas pen
itentiary at Lansing, and was serving
an indeterminate sentence that about
the time of the return Of the Indictment
the Board of Pardons had recommended
the release of Seaman, but on account of
the fact that he was wanted in Nebraska
he could not be released so long as he
was thus booked, and could not be turned
over to the Nebraska authorities until the
end of his sentence: that as conse-
quence he served two extra years in the
Kansas penitentiary. and was released a
little over year ago with the consent of
the county attorney of this county. who
had investigated the matter and was CON
vtnced that Seaman was reformed and
was trying to live an honorable life
and considering the fact that he had
served two extra years believed he had
been sufficiently punished. and that the
ends Of Justice did not demand his prose
cution. That II. A. Lambert during the
