SPARKS CIRCUS AD-
Vance CAR IN town
BEST EQUIPPED, MOST HAND
SOME ADVANCE CAR ON THE
ROAD AHEAD OF THIS WELL
KNOWN CIRCUS.

The kids are happy, for the Sparks
advance car was here and the bill
boards, walls, barns and store win
dows are gaily decorated with circus
posters announcing the coming of this
we'll known show on Monday, July S.
Both the town and the surrounding
country for miles is thoroughly ad-
vertised and no doubt there will be a
large crowd in town on circus day.
This car carries crew of twenty men,
commanded by John Randolph, and is
a 75-foot Pullman equipped with all
modern conveniences and the men who
travel thereon enjoy all the comforts
of first class hotel.
Van C. Diver, the press agent. tells
US the show is bigger and better than
ever before, carrying more cars, more
animals, more horses, more people and
presents many new and novel acts
never before witnessed in this section
of the country. The newspapers Of
the large cities of the east speak very
highly of this attraction, ranking it
among the best. No gambling or dis
honesty is tolerated and the manage
ment employs their own corps of pri-
vate detectives who take particular
care that visitors to the exhibition are
protected and receive polite and cour-
teous attention.
Most any day from now until circus
day will see some agent Of the show
in the city looking after some of the
many arrangements necessary to the
advance preparations of an attraction
of this size.

HOOVER FARMS WITH ENGINES

Thos. Hoover, a prosperous farmer
living fifteen miles north of Minot,
was in the city Saturday and took
home a $500 traction engine. He will
do his farm work with two traction
engines, having disposed of all of his
horses with the exception of two aged
animals. Last year he did all of his
farming with an old engine that cost
him 1910, using 500 worth of fuel.
One of his neighbors bought 5000
worth of oats for feed at one time.
With the old engine he pulled gang
plow and drag, with one operation
that would have required six-horse
team. Mr.. Hoover made the remark
that it is next to impossible to rent
any cultivated land in his locality.
Nearly all of the sod in that vicinity
has been broken up.
Two churches are being built near
Mr.. Hoover's farm, one German
Lutheran structure near the old Lynch
postoffice and the other a Swedish
Lutheran church.

GOLLMAR BROS. BIG CIRCUS
COMING TO MINOT JULY q

The old reliable is coming as usual
and they are as welcome to Minot as
the flowers in May.
Every year they bring US something
different and something just a little
bit better, and we have watched them
grow. Gollmar Brothers have not toll
Grated games, graft or short change
and always have given our people
much for their money. They will
doubtless be greeted as usual with a
capacity house. Remember the date

HUERTA PLOT
CONFESSED

SAN ANTONIO, Nov. 6.-Jose
Orozco, brother of Gen. Orozco
confessed here today to U. s. o.
ficials a plot to restore former
President Huerta to power.
The plans are said to have been
made while Huerta was in New
York and had $11,000,000 in
cash to back the movement. II
was foiled with the arrest of sew
eral of the leaders. Eleven war
rants for arrests were issued fol-
lowing the alleged confession.

BATTLE BREWING

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Nov. 8
What promises to be one Of
the greatest political battles In
the history of the United States
was fairly launched with Bryan's
open declaration on the presi-
dents preparedness program.
In less than a month congress
will convene. The struggle will
then be waged in earnest. The
contest will be between princi-
pies and not personalities.
Both the president and Bryan
are determined to avoid the
slightest appearance of personal
breach, 1t is said.
1t is fairly predicted that each
leader will carry the campaign to
the country.
Nation Will Decide.
The nation, through represen-
tatives in congress, must decide.
1t must determine the lesson that
must be learned from the war in
Europe-whether it teaches mill
tary preparedness, such as the
European countries have main
tanned, makes for peace or pro-
vokes war.
Some believe that the president
will be forced to seek the sup
port OF some republicans in his
campaign for greater prepared
ness to meet any possible for
eign aggression. These persons
profess to foresee a great non
partisan fight, where party lines
will be forgotten and principles
only will be debated.

Now, All
ogether

The resignation of T. H. Martin as CONNER
cial club secretary is timely
It will give Tacoma chance to reorganize it's
promotion and publicity facilities and get its
people to working together again at critical
time in the city's development
A great united effort to push Tacoma ahead,
if made intelligently during the coming months,
will set our town on the highroad to lasting sta
bility and prosperity. Such movement re-
quires wise leadership and loyal following
With all due respect to Mr. Martin, this could
not be attained as long as held his present posi-
ton.
The Times in the past has made it's attitude
toward Secretary Martin too well understood to
need repeating now. We opposed his last re-
election and told why we did, He resigned but
was persuaded by the trustees to reconsider the
STEP During the last year we have tried to aid
him in all his efforts to upbuild Tacoma Just as
heartily as If we had picked him for the place
ourselves
Now that he is going we do not propose to
harp on the mistakes we believe he made. We
are glad to forget them as we believe all Taco
mans are and to wish him the largest measure
of success in any personal venture he under
takes We hope he stays in Tacoma and builds
up fine business for himself and the city
In view Of the dissention in the club ITSELF the
lack of support it has suffered from many bust
ness men and the great chance Tacoma now has
w A0A60 "AA0"u PAVPCA1y lAlIiiCilSO
portance attaches to the choice of Mr. Martins
successor
The Times has no candidate for the place; it
does not consider itself an official nominator.
It is anxious, however, that big, broad guage,
intelligent man who burns with zeal to push Ia
coma to the front be elected
AT the same time it hopes the club will find
ITSELF, as well as new secretary manager
Right now the organization appears not to know
any too well what it is trying to accomplish 1t
has no clear-cut plan. It is working too hap
hazardly.
A definite policy of city upbuilding should be
agreed upon, the right man induced to lead in
carrying it out and the whole city take hand
in helping. Then Tacoma will grow and prosper.
Incidentally, the present ought to be good
time for civic experience and suggestion ses-
sion What do you think Tacoma needs most?
What ought to be the first step in promotion?
What would you do to push the city ahead if
you were made Mr.. Martins successor?

Who Is the best guesser In
Tacoma?
Say It softly or nobody will
believe you.
It's, the weather man!
Honest and truly, 1t may
sound fishy, but Weather
Mani Cover, from his office
high up i'm the Chamber Of
Commerce building, hits the
bullseye nine out of 10 times.
He Is one of Uncle Sans cham
pion weather forecasters of the
world. And he is made the butt
of more abuse and good natured
raillery, perhaps, than any other
of Uncle Sans officers. But he's
there, just the same.
89.1 Correct.
Are you in the habit of reading
your local weather report up in
the corner of The Times first
page every day, and then "dop-
ing it out put the opposite way?
If you are, take look at Uncle
Sans figures which show that
the weather man makes an aver
age of 1871 correct guesses out Of
. possible hundred.
This is just about the combined
average Of all the weather bur-
eausfover the country. Yet in
keeping up to their pace Weather
Man Cover has harder job tEan
most of them.
Storms in the United States
move from west to esat at the
average rate of about 600 miles
q day. The cold waves come out
Of the Pacific states and western
Canada and move east.
East Has Advantage.
This naturally gives the wealth
er man in the east the advantage.
They can watch the progress of
a storm as 1t moves across the
continent and can make their
forecasts accordingly. They can
figure just about the time storm
or a cold wave will reach their
section of the country.
But Weather Man Cover from
Tacoma can watch the movement
of a storm only over the short $50
miles from here to Tatoosh and
Northhead. He has - wacn his

MAYOR

Mayor Fawcett announced to.
day that he had practically de-
cided to vote for the return of a
power franchise to the 7. r. & p.

He said that he telephoned last
night to a large number of promi-
nent Tacomans, to obtain their
opinions on the question, and
that he was more than half-im.
pressed with the practica bility oil
the proposition.
The main idea is that we will
be able to advertise Tacoma al
having practically unlimited pow.
er supply said Fawcett today.
Would Give Competition.
IF the franchise is granted, We
can tell the world that Tacoma
has the lowest power rates OF
any place in the country, that we
can guarantee continuous ser.
vice to manufacturers, and that
there is competition, SO that rates
will be kept down.
AS it is now, we are trying to
keep the private company out OF
the field, while the city light de-
partment, with a single power
plant, cannot guarantee continu-
Gus service. ur plant is distinc-
lively a light plant, not a power
plant, and We are foolish to try
to hog all the business. Compe-
tition always improves condi-
tons, I have noticed"
Would Give En- Fill, Too.
Fawcett will insist that the
franchise to be returned to the
street car company will be for 15
years, and that 1t will not allow
the private concern to compete in
the lighting business.
BY the terms of the agreement,
Pacific avenue street car line will
be extended mile, to 46th street,
the South Tacoma, Spanaway and
Puyallup cars will be routed over
Jefferson and Tacoma avenue by
a direct route, and the Tacoma
avenue line will be connected with
the st. Helens avenue tracks at
Division avenue.

ernOon. At least 20 women
and girls are believed to have
persisted In u fire that swept
through a six-story loft build
ing at 80 North Sixth street.
The women workers were on
the fourth and fifth floors, EN-
ployed by the Essex Shirt Co. Fire
broke out in the Diamond Candy
Co.'S factory on the lower floors.
and had gained such Roadway in
a few moments that the Victims
above we're utterly cut off from
escape.
The fire has spread to a box
factory next door.
General alarms of fire we're
sent in, and apparatus from all
parts OF Brooklyn responded.
Torrents of water poured into
the blazing building from dozens
of nozzels, but for a long period
the water apparently had not the
slightest effect.
Only a few of those penncd
on the upper floors were saved
by leaping into life nets. So in
tense was the heat that firemen
could not scale the walls. The
forms of hopeless women and
girls, screaming for help at smok-
ing windows near the top of the
building, were plainly seen by
thousands below, but all effort
to save them or reach them were
futile.
Twenty ambulances are on tie
scene. Police have been almost
impossible to restrain the rela.
tives of victims, many of whom
have attempted to force their way
into the burning building in eff
forts to effect rescue.
