an another year Juarez will be
known as the greatest and most pop
ular race track in the world" de-
clared Colonel Winn. ats success
during the season just closed was re-
markable. No one, even in the Wild
est dreams, figured that such crowds
would attend. And next season it
ought to be even more remarkable.
The track is established, the success
of this year will draw bigger crowds
next year and Of course will attract
even some greater horses, and there
fore furnish some mighty thrilling
races.
During the season just closed the
demands for stables were so great
that we were constantly at work build
ing new ones. But even at that we
couldn't accommodate all the horses
in separate stalls. But next season it
will be different. We will have as
many stalls as is necessary. We are
going to build about 300 new stalls
before the season starts, which will
give us about 1850 stalls. think that
ought to be enough for start, any
way.
Gall the stalls are built of adobe
and are thoroughly equipped with
every modern convenience for hous-
ing horses.
During the summer we are going
to build new field stand because the
old one was entirely too small to
meet the demands. Very often the
small stand we now have, and which
we first figured was big enough to ac-
fcommodate amy ordinary crowd that
came to the track, was file dtwo
hours before the races started. This
resulted in general scramble each
day for seats. We erected some tenn
porary stands there, but they were
small and did not take care of the
overflow. ,
"In addition to this we are going to
build 12 foot adobe wall all around
the stands SO as to shut off the wind
that sometimes sweeps across the
field. ese
"The Mexican war didn't bother us
at all last year but, of course, it kept
some persons away from the track
because they feared that one or an
other of the Mexican factions would

Frank Menke's
Sporting Letter

New York, March 31.-The great
est race track in the world will be
I in Juarez, Mexico, next season, ac-
cording to the ambitious plans Of the
officials of the Juarez Racing Asso-
citation, who plan to spend something
like 100000 in improvements.
The 1913-1914 racing season which
has just closed, was an unparalled
success, despite the fact the country
was in the throes of civil war and
that much fighting and disorder took
place around Juarez. The regular
racing season of 100 days was ex-
tended to 125 days, because of the
demands made by the racing public,
and during the last few weeks Of the
extended season the purses were lar
ger than they had been at any time
during the meet. sN,,.s@ #.
The success of racing at Juarez has
brought El Paso, Texas, just across
the Rio Grande river, to the fore as
one of Americas greatest summer re.
sorts. The climate there is ideal dur
ing. the winter months, and many of
the wealthiest men in the country,
who love the racing game, spent d
large portion of the winter in FL
! Paso, making daily trips across the
!. river to, the Juarez race tracks. !,
Until. racing became popular. at
Juarez the Texas town was little more
than thriving western city, with no
inclination to be gay or giddy, not
to ape Paris in any way. But the
Juarez race meeting caused trans
formation, and during the past season
the FL Paso night life reminded many
of the palmy days of Saratoga, N.
Y, and other cities that were called
"a. second Paris" when the. racing
game flourished.
Colonel Mathews Winn, member of
the Juarez Racing Association, is back
in town after spending the winter at
! Ell Paso and Juarez, and he is enthu.
siastic over the future of the Juarez
: course. ,-s-s.

Cleveland, March 31.-"Promotion

pose of a distinctly new type of or
ganization now being formed here by
members of the Retail Merchants
Board of the Cleveland Chamber of
Commerce. w. j. Noble Of the board
explains the evils the organization is

zone of the evils to be eliminated is
the imitation of values, telling the
people that an article is 500 value
and advertising it for sale at $3.50
This word value as used in this con-
nection is one of the most deceiving
words in advertising. You might as
well advertise loaf Of bread as
$1O0 value, with the excuse that g
starving castaway on desert island
would value loaf Of bread at that
sum. The time has come to call a halt
on the scramble for preferment BY
means of one merchant trying to out.
do the other in extravs giant claims.
A majority Of the merchants are

 Marshal L. T. Erwin, who arrived Saturday afternoon, from the Outside declares that there will be a large number of people come to Fairbanks this year in anticipation of the rall- road construction and the awaken  ing of interest in Interior Alaska.

 While travelling between Seattle and Chicago" said MT. Er in after his arrival, q happened to let the conductor, one of the oldest on the line, know that l was from Alaska, while he was inspecting my ticket. He immediately began 10 tell me that he was planning t1 give up the job that he has held for many years to come 10 Alaska when the construction of the road is to begin.
 That instance alone shows ho" people are looking this way, ani what We may expect in the matter of immigration here soon"

TIDE RISES TO NINE FEET
STORM CONTINUES AND EXTENT OF DAMAGE IS NOT FULLY kNOWN-RELiEF PARTIES ARE STARTED FOR THE STRICKEN DISTRICT.

ST. PETERS SBURG, Russia, March 15.-At least two thousand people were killed in the province of Ku- ban by a hurricane that destroyed whole villages. Much of the loss of life is due to the overflow of the Azov sea- in which the tide rose to nine feet and swept the sur rounding country.
 Details of the st rm and the loss of life are not complete, and 1t is feared that when the storm has passed and the extent of the damage is fully realized, it will be found to have been even more serious than has been reported up to the present time
 The storm increased rapidly in it's and it was not possible to remain out of doors and face 1t. Some house We're blown down, and the inmates in some cases We're all killed when the storm first reached it's severe stage.
 Bordering the sea are long stretch es of low lands, on which are will ages and small farms, and when the sea unexpectedly oyerflowed, the water rushed over these in great flood and took houses with it.
 The storm is still raging, and it may be several hours before relief can reach the most remote places, though there are relief parties now on the way to the scene of the trouble.
 The first news of the storm was cut off by the breaking of tele- graph wires, but later reports were received from the villages hat were not in the direct path of the storm.
