The protestants were represented bv Cap- tain George D. Christy.
 Speeches were made by several citi- zens and by representatives of the pro- posed Phoenix Packing House com pany. The latter said that the plant would not be the nuisance that citizens apprehended. In fact, it would not be nuisance at all. It would be under government inspection and that would be guaranty of the manner in which it would be run
 They said further that if they were not sure that it would be conducted in such manner as to be unobjectionable to the neighborhood, they would not undertake the expense of erecting it. for if it should be adjudged a nuisance it would be stopped by an injunction. It was suggested that a committee of interested parties be named to visit Los Angeles and ascertain whether the packing houses there had not been TUT | in such a manner as 10 forestall all 1 objection. That was finally agreed to and the matter permitted to rest.

FREAK COLLECTION OIVE WONDER AT TIE
 SALMAGUND| CIRCUS

One of the chief attractions of the great Salmagundi Circus IS the great and marvellous collection of freaks ab- 5olutely unequaled in any other aggre- gation ever assembled. The Fat Lady is the most mountainous piece of human ity ever discovered and the heat of the past few days is adding rapidly to the sum total of her avoirdupois, rather than causing her to melt away after the customary fashion. In disposition she is as genial as she is fat and every one who meets her will feel that they have added a friend ana worth while acquaintance to their circle Of friend ship.
 The Wild Man did not come from Borneo, the past few years, having shown that other parts of the universe produce men far wilder than any that ever inhabited Borneo, but he did come rom the Russian hotbed of bolshev- is1a, and is a cross between a Turk and Bolsheviki. He eats them alive and his appetite is never satisfied. The man asement will not be held responsible or anyone who has the temerity to en- Ter his tent wearing any red article of clothing.

NEW OLDF|ELD TIRES REACH LOCAL MARKET

There is something new this year in automobile tires.
 In addition to the old, familiar makes, local motorists can now get Oldfieids-- the tires made by the new Cleveland company of which Barney Oldfield, the veteran race driver, is president
 With all of Barney's old recklessness on the track, he never allowed himself to lose a certain healthy regard for his own safety. as was shown in the care with which he prepared for each speed flight. Tires have been his es- pecial hobby for many years. It IS sad he has worn out more of them than any other driver in the country and during the process. has learned many a fact regarding tire materials and work manship. which helped him keep tires on his wheels while those of his com petitors were bursting and flying off.
 Announcement is made that Ed Ru- dolph has secured local distribution and the first shipment of oldfield tires has just arrived
