SAMSON

Sampson is full grown, jungle-bred,
man eating African lion, said to be
the finest specimen of his race iu
captivity.
The lion and trainer, Miss Mable
Stark, mount a balloon basket and
are taken to the top of the big tent.
Roman candles, sky rockets and color
ed fire are placed all around the
arena and sputter and shoot almost
under the nose of the big beast, but so
perfectly has he been traineed to do
his act, he seems totally oblivious to
the fires close proximity.
Due to the fact that the entire en-
tertainment is given by a troupe of
over COO educated wild and domestic
animals the Barnes Circus is widely
different from any other known. This
animal acting troupe consists OF nearly
every known species, the whole ag-
gregation working as a unit in the
presentation of thrilling, amazing,
instructive, amusing entertainment.
The Barnes Bircus is distinctively
the "show that's different" and ranks
as the original and largest wild ami
NAL show in the world.
The public is presented, free, a
glittering, milelong, new feature
parade at 1890. Performances are
given at 2 and 8 p. m. The date for
Ell Centro is Saturday, November T.

FLYING OVER THE DESERT

+ Los Angeles, Nov. b.-Ihe Los An
geles- Phoenix race of this year will
be the most extensively photographed
by motion picture companies of any
road contest ever held in the United
States. Batteries of cameras will
face the drivers, not only at the start
and finish, but at all points along
the $40 miles that will provide spec
tacular features.
The twenty cars leave the city linn
its Of Los Angeles at $3.50 o'clock
the morning of Monday, November 8,
and will finish at Phoenix on the
track of the Arizona State Fair As
sociation some time Wednesday. The
hight controls will be at Needles, Cal,
and Prescott, Ariz.
The Pathe Weekly Company will
cover" the race throughout its pro
gress. Ralph Earle, the Pacific coast
representative, will be aboard the
Howdy Special and direct the crew
that will "shoot" the racing cars as
they bowl along over boulevards,
across the desert. and through the
mountain passes. These pictures will
be taken while both trains and cars
are i'll motion. Other views will be
made when the cars strike the fa-
nous "roller coaster" near Needles.
This stretch of the road is named
from the effect produced by driving
a car at high speed over a series of
hummocks, making the cars leap into
the air.
The Universal Film Company.
through some of its officials, is spon-
sor for one of the racing cars. It's
drivers will have a part to play in
a film drama that will call for some
hair-raising action. H. ]. Pink, who
will drive, is featured in the dare
devil automobile stunts specialized by
the Universal company, such as
plunging from a pier into the ocean
and racing with prairie fire.
Louis Chevrolet, who will make his
return to the racing game in the
deser. classic in the effort to secure
the medal betokening him as the mas
ter driver of the world, did not ar
rive in time to go entirely over the
course in practice. Chevrolet, who
will drive a car of his name, saws
Fasteners cannot realize what this
race is, as they have no idea of the
roads and the preparation necessary
to make car withstand the strain
under high speed.
Drivers who will compete have been
undergoing course of physical train
ing that would make the college foot
ball player regard his trials as a pic
mic larty. A man must be fit in
every way. He must know what it
means to rush across the blazing
sands of the desert and within few
hours be in the higher attitudes,
where he may suffer from the cold.
Numbered among the men who
have won national fame as racing
drivers and who will drive in the
seventh annual Los Phoenix
contest are Barney Oldfield, Louis
Chevrolet, Louis Mikrent, William
Carlson, Oils Davis, w. Mramlette.

 The expectations and hopes which the people of Ar zona repose in those men who win constitute the egis ate are perhaps higher than those entertained at any time since ue establishment Of statehood.
 Economy has become the watchword in every home in every business institution in every industrial estab Hshment in Arizona. The need is great for applying practically rueaity everywhere Nowhere is the nleI more pressing than in the conduct of Che States affairs A deepseated belief prevails that Arizona did not get value received for the money spent during the past two years Whether ths belief is wellgrounded is neither here nor there at the present time.
