KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS
 HOLD BIC MEETING
Damon Lodge Expects to do Great
 Things During Fair Week.

A large number of local and visiting
 members of the Knights of Ppthias
 met at K. of P. Hall in Mesa last night
 to attend the meeting of Damon Lodge,
 and listen to the reports of the com
 mittee which has charge of the ar
 engagements for Knights of Pythias day
 at the fair. The business of the local lodge was dispatched as rapidly as pos sibe after which Chairman Oscar Null len of the general committee took charge of the meeting and a number of matters of importance in connec- tion with the big day were disposed of 1 Owing to the fact that the parade which had been planned for the morn 1 ing of Pythian day would interfere with | the members taking their families out ] to the fair grounds, and would result in i the wives and children of those taking ! part being compelled to make their 1 way to the grounds as best they could, ! 1t was decided to eliminate this feature i of the program, but that all members who could should take part in the Al States parade in the evening. The committee on regalia reported that it had ordered a large number of badges and other decorations, and that the same would be distributed at the fair y established just inside the gates to the grounds, where all regalia may be se- cured. The committee appointed to in terview the fair commission was in- structed to secure 700 seats in the grand stand, to be reserved for mem l bers of the order and their families. A number of committees which had com 1 pleted their work were discharged with thanks. and the meeting of the committe wound up with a round of friendly 'joshing" and fun At the close of the session of the committee. all present adjourned to the banouet room, where a delicious repast con l sisting of oysters, both stewad and raw apples, pickles, olives and other good i things had been prepared. At the close ! of the banquet cigars were passed around. but the proceedings were in terrupted at this point by the electric | lights being extinguished, so Prof H | c. Robertson made a short address. as- surfing the visitors of the pleasure talk | en in their presence, and inviting them 1 to return. The next meeting of the | booster committee will be held in Phoenix on Friday. October 31, when final arrangements for Pythian Day at I the fair will be made.

HAY SILL BLAZES

All through Monday night and yes
 terday the hay barn and enclosed hay of 1600 tons owned by Alfred T. Peters, which unaccountably caught fire early Monday evening, continued l., burn. Five minutes after the blaze was first discovered practically every mart of Tempe was almost as light as day. The scene on the butte was most unusual and extremely pretty. Constant watch was kept over the fire and adjoining premises Monday nigh: and yesterday and fortunately, due to not the least stir of wind,
 nothing else caught fire. Where for weight hours ago stood the largest Lay barn ever erected in Salt River valley. now lays smoldering mass of ashes intermiXed with twisted and h<r.t corrugated sheet iron. While thc tctal loss is big, in that the hay wruId have realized big prices in the winter market, the actual loss to MT
 Peters is comparatively small MT Peters intends to rebuild with a more fireproof structure at an early date.

 Special Next Friday

With the doors of the town wide open and the slogan of every citizen "a most cordial welcome to the wis itoIs," Tempe will entertain the Fl Past business men for couple of hours or more here next Friday aft ernoon. No official announcement of the coming of the Fl Paso business booster special to Tempe has been received, but those who remember the single hours enjoyment of the Texas business men here last year know well enough that the special will neV- CT visit the Salt River valley without q stcp-off at Tempe. Througn its newspapers the fact is intimated that the excursionists will spend an hour CT SC in Arizona's educational center and hence the only conclusion to be drawn is that it is up to the town to provide something that will be well worth their while, and a few hours preparations last evening wouh verify all of this. Last year where each of the Fl Pasoans in an informal way spent one of the most enjoyable hours of their lives here the celebrities of next Friday are to be met with some preparation.
 With as pretty bunch of young Women as can be found anywhere in the world right here at home, Tempe is in a position to give the Fl Paso- ans one of the best times of their lives. last year it was all girls with the visitors. and if the past goes as d forecast for the future Tn any way the Fl Pasoans are sure oI an unsurpassed welcome at the Tempe Normal.
 The schedule of the special calls fir the arrivaI+of the guests in Tenn De at 12:00 o'clock Friday. The time for departure is 1:15 but it is safe bet that they will not get away with in an hour of that time.
 The tentative program for the wis itors while in Tempe finds the scene of the entertainment laid at the Tempe Normal. Automobiles will be supplied and the guests given a snort ride. over the town, eventually to be deposited on the Normal campus.
 The Fl Pasoans have a band, also some singers and speakers, so that with q combination of local and Tex as talent an excellent program is
 ..rthcoming The specific scene for the celebrities will in all probability | Q located on the quadrangle.
 Evel. in the few short hours that Tempe citizens have to awaken to the fact that the one hundred Fl Pasoans are going to pay them short visit, interest over the occasion isi manifested by everyone
 Further and detailed plans for the entertainment of the pass city busl- ness men in Tempe will be arranged at d special meeting of the Tempe board of trade to be held this evening at the city hall. A called meeting or this organization implies that every citizen of Tempe is expected to be present 7:3O is the hour.
 An entertainment of the variety distinct from the general trend of such programs will be the slogan prepared tonight and carried out next Friday.
