rendered him last night by his friends.

been the scene of many festivities, but

not produce more pleasant occasion
than that. The gathering was peculiarly
a congenial one being composed exclu-
sively Of Mr.. Holmead's most intimate
friends, who assembled to wish him good
luck On his coming journey to Chicago as
a delegate to the democratic convention.
There was not the least political signif-
cahce In the occasion. however. The COM
mcd1ous lawn was given up to the event.
and was covered with well-f1lled tables
lighted with Chinese lanterns. During
the evening speeches were made by Au-

AN IRRIGATION ENTHUSIAST.
Presence in Phoenix of Secretary
 HeintZ

Secretary c. M. Heintz of the execu- tive committee of the National Irriga- tion congress, arrived by the Santa Fe Sunday afternoon, and since has been greeted by the many friends made here lby him in his capacity as publisher of that admirable monthly, the Rural Californian. He is at once a mine of information and very geyser of en- thusiasm as regards the capabilities of the southwest and the benefits that will arise from the next session of the irrigation congress. He promises that from California to the congress will come hundreds of the best citizens of the golden state, who there eafter will seek to show the delegates the beau ties of that states marvellous system of applied irrigation.
 The returning delegates from Albu- querque have spread the keenest inter- est in the movement through southern California and the work of the congress and the benefit of low railroad fares conjoined will serve to bring to Phoe- nix hundreds who otherwise might be brought to see the development here made in the irrigation and recla- mation of the arid plains.
