The Bornum and Bailey circus is more than ever "a beauty snow this season. Never before have women dominated the circua ' pro gramme as they do in this year's program and the display of feminine pulchritude rivals a Broadway musi cal comedy production. With the circus s there is a beautiful women who twitte-s about on a high wire with the same ease that Tetrazzini attains high C, and in accomplishi ng this there is no reason to 'be lieve, according to Miss Bird Mill man, that she is not serving the i'mr- pose of art. Here a pretty, ambi tious girl chooses for her life work and accomplishment a wire strung in mid-air, This is just as hard to understand- as to explain the kink in the mind of a man who decides to dedicate himself and his energies to the snare drum. Miss Millman con tributes one of the startling feat ures to this year's circus program, E nd when she isn't thrilling circus audiences, finds time and delight in being interviewed. "To some folks a slack wire is their idea of noth ing to walk on. To me, its a whole street, with curbing and pavement thrown in." "When I was eight years old, father noticed that I had a way of ignoring the earth, and nailed a wire from a window sill at one side of the room to a window sill at the other side, and my career began." "It's great exercise, fine for the health and beauty. Nothing equals it. One may talk about the ad vantages of swimming and walking, mine for the wire. It steadies the nerves like a sedative; makes the mind as alert as a bird's wings and quickens one's instinct for space and distance." It is entertaining to realize that Miss Millman regards her work as art of a very high character. Art which should be above the sneers and quiobles of the pv-si n "in fron'." and requires what most other brands of art makes no requisition upon physical courage. The circus brings many novelties this year, and in ad dition to the arenic features pre sents as a gratuitous addition a go.'geous spectacle entitled, "The Wizard Prince of Arabia". Over 1,000 people take part . including a ballet of 100 dancing girls. Two per formances and a street parade will be given in Phoenix, Monday, Sept. 2Jst.

' Speaking of the effect of the war on conditions in the northwest, Mr. Col lins said that the fruit industry had been seriously affected. In the first place, there is no apparent outlet for the prune crop whose chief market had been Germany. The markets for the famous Hood River arid Rogue river apples still remains but there is no way of reaching them as' Mr. Col lins discovered on making inquiry of the. fruit exchange at Portland. The principal markets for Oregon apples seems on the east coast of South America. It was brought out that hitherto fruit for those markets, ship ped by the way of Cape Horn had been sent to London and transhipped to South American ports by Leyland steamers which since the war have not been making those ports with regular ity.
