CAUSE OF ACCIDENT
 IS STILL A MYSTERY

Federal Mine Inspector Sumner s. Smith says that he was unable to de termine how the fire originated in the emergency magazine of the Persever- ance mine, but believes it was caused by electric wires being short cir cuited. The men who lost their lives in the shaft were suffocated by the hot gases from the burning powd- CT. When the gases rose in the shaft to a certain height they were met by the colder air and helid down and this is why the men working on the next level above did not know of the hap penings on the main tunnel level.

DALLAS FOUND
PURCHASE Of
FAIR GOOD
SCHEME

The experience OF the city OF Dali
las. CTeXasD in purchasing fair
grounds Is detailed in letter from
City Secretary j. b. Winslett of Dal-
las to c. c. Price, former superin-
tendent of speed of the local fair as
sociation, and now a member of the
board of directors. This letter was
forwarded to The Sentinel today. and
Is an interesting one in view of the
proposal of the local association to
transfer its property to the city.
The state fair of Texas. n private
corporation. for many years was a
successful venture. but finally struck
some financial rocks. due for the
most part 10 the poor cotton crops
during those years. The city OF
Dallas entered into an agreement to
purchase the grounds and property
and proposition to levy special tax
on the city property of l0c for four
years carried by big majority. At
ter passing the ordinance the city
borrowed the money to pay for the
fair property, giving notes payable in
one. two. three and four years. A
Dallas bank cashed the notes and
they were cancelled annually as col
lections from taxes under the levy
as the ycame In.
The grounds were then declared a
public park. but contract was en-
tered into between the city and the
fair association. allowing the latter
the exclusive use of the grounds in
the fall for fair and in the spring
for another month for n race meet.
The citizens of Dallas took stock to
the amount of 100000 to be applied
to new exposition buildings and au-
ditorium. No dividends were declar-
ed ON this stock. but the holders
were given annual passes for five
years.
The fair officials. excepting the
secretary served without compensa-
tion, and all net income from the
fair was expended for improvements
for fair purposes.
The experience was very satisfac-
tory. and the fair is now on n sub
stantial basis and the people of the
city of Dallas have fine park open
ten months in the year to every
body.
Some plan similar to this is to be
advanced hy the local fair board to
the city commissioners when negoti-
ations for the sale of the grounds
are begun.
