PREPARE YOUR EXHIBITS
EXHIBITORS ARE UR6ED TO MAKE
ARRANGEMENTS EARLY FOR THEIR
ExHIBITS---SeCRETARY WILL 6IvE
ALL NECESSARY INFORMATION.

Farmers and stockmen who
contemplate exhibiting at the
Haakon County Fair are urged to
make all arrangements early.
Secretary Benedict informs us
that he will gladly furnish any
information desired and further
aid in every way possible in max
ing the exhibits this year larger
than ever before. Every resi-
dent in the county should make
an effort to have an exhibit,
either in the stock barns or in
the agricultural hall. The fair
belongs to the people of the
county and it is theirs to make it
a success, which can best be
accomplished with the proper
cooperation.
The premium lists and pro-
grams will be out the latter part
of the week and if you do not
receive one a card to the
secretary will bring one by return
mail. 1t will be seen that the
prizes are larger than ever before
and it is hoped that the exhibits
will accordingly exceed those of
previous years. Larger purses
are also being offered for the
various races and sports which
will also bring a larger and better
class of contestants.
A feature of the fair this year
will be the band contest between
the bands from this section,
several of whom have already
agreed to enter. 1t is expected
that the contest will be held the
second day of the fair at which
time the several bands will be
present. This alone will be we'll
worth the expense of attending
the fair, and will be the first
affair of this nature to be held in
this part of the country.

AMUsEMENTs
,ast Day "Jack and the Beanstalk"

Last Day Jack and the Beanstalk'
 Beginning with the first show this morning the remarkable run of Jack and the Beanstalk' will enter the last lap of it's engagement at the Lamara.
 The picture has caused more favor able comment than any brought to the city in years, and at each performance a packed house has greeted Jack on his quest for the monster giant. The story is the best known of any of the childhood tales. and for that reason the appeal is especially strong to the children, hundreds of whom have availed themselves of the opportunity of becoming actually acquainted with their beloved idol.
 But the value of the picture does not stop with the entertainment 1t provides for the youngsters. Crown ups will find much to entertain and instruct them in this master creation In fact the elders become as interest ed as the children as scene after scene is flashed before the delighted audience In beauty the production is unsurpassed and in the hands of the talented little Francis Carpenter the role of Jack receives an interpretation that is truly remarkable.
 Judging from the crowds which have been on hand at every screening, the final day will prove the record so far as attendance is concerned.
 The picture is eagerly sought in all parts of the country and it's run in all cities is limited so as to give the en- tire country the opportunity of seeing this truly wonderful masterpiece, and while the reception it received in Phoe- nix would indicate that it could run muck longer, today will see the final screenings. and no doubt many will embrace this last opportunity of wit messing the feature.

 Another man has lost his life ir Roosevelt lake, according to advices received in Phoenix last evening. The drowning took place at the upper end of the lake, according to word which came to the government officials at the dam but detailssof the affair are lack ing. The part of the lake where the man was drowned is not even known by those in charge at the dam, state rec lamation officials after communicating with that point.
 The victim of the accident is said to have been in the employ of the Van Dykes of Globe who are also said to operate barSeS and motor boats at the lake. His name had not been obtained by the reclamation service at a late hourt last evening and at Globe, aside from the fact that the drowning had been reported, little was known con- cerning the details of the affair It is presumed, however, that the man was in charge of some one of the boats and that he may have either fallen over board from the barge or launch or else from the landing place
 One report is that the body of the victim of the accident has already been recovered and that it is being taken to Globe where there will be an investiga- part of Roosevelt lake from quick methods of communication all efforts to secure further facts by press and rec lamatiOn officials had been resultlesS up to late hour last night.

Valley to Reap Advantage From
 MT. Sells Visit

Hon. Cato Sc Is. United States commissioner of indian affairs has been in the valley on several oc- cssions during the past two weeks on matters of great importance to this community. the nature ot which has not been publicly discussed, and has been given only such privase discussion as Mir. Sells has found necessary But whatever may be their importance to Phoenix and the Salt River valley, that is only inci- dental, for the first care of MT. Sells is for the Indians under his charge.
 MT. Sells is accompanied by the chief engineer and assistant en- oineers of his department, of trained experience in construction and irri- qatinq work, and with them he has been engaged on scouting trips about the adjacent country.
 The activity of MT. Sells, together with his recent remarks before the Rotary club in which he evinced his great interest in this valley, and his desire for friendly cooperation with it's citizens, all indicate affirmative action on his part that will spell nearIy as FuCH ioI TnoSti~ eI'o ''o valley as the building of the Roose- welt dam.
 It may be said that the Salt River valley has no more earnest and powerful friend than MT. Sells. and it is fortunate at this time, that he can manifest his friendliness while engaged in the protection and betterment of the wards of the gov ernment.
 MT. Sells and his engineers left last night for the Parker indian reservation whence, after an inspec ton, they will traverse by automo- bile the country between Parker and Yuma. Thence they will go to San Diego where question affecting an Indian reservation in southern California and the water supply of San Diego awaits settlement.

Of the 1889 men called for from Arizona in the second contingent of 40 per cent of the states full quota, 1,170, went out in good shape, according to reports received at the office of Col Breen in the state house. Of the 219 not accounted fer some are included in reports not yet received at the state house. When all the reports are in there will be found to be few deserters, declares Col. Breen, who adds that the movement was a grand success and a credit to the state in every way.
 One county, the name not made pub lie, reports that it's contingent is short 34 men. Two counties report three deserters each, those six failing to show up at the last roll call All of the others are expected to be accounted for when the rest of the reports are received.
 With few exceptions" said Col. Breen, "The response to the call for the second contingent from Arizona was made in perfect order and shows what this state can do when called upon
 Those men called to the colors and who have failed to report are to be dealt with leniently if their excuse for failure to report is very good one. This is announced in an order received by Col. Breen from the provost mar shal general yesterday.
 But the excuse must be gilt-edged one, says Col. Breen, and it will be useless for the ordinary stacker to try to escape punishment through this lat est order. It is as follows:
 Tt has developed that many men have failed to respond to the call of their local boards due to causes that relieve them from any imputation of bad faith or desire to evade their ob- hgation. In some cases such persons are plainly disqualified, in some cases they are ignorant aliens who are un- able to speak or read the English language, and sometimes they are per sons living in remote districts who have obviously irrefragible claims for exemption and whose failure to pre- sent them is not at all culpable.
