Cosmopolitan prepared Worlds Fair number, contributed to by many fam ous writers, and so thoroughly illus trated that it surpassed even the most expensive book which had up to that time been isued. In those days the magazine was printed from two sets of plates only, and when these were worn out it was impossible, without a great loss of time, to put further editions on the press. The newsdealers, taking advantage of this condition, raised the price of the Cosomopolitan's Worlds Fair number to one dollar a copy. 4 few sales were even made to- ward the close at the phenomenal figure of five dollars. Undoubtedly this happening is unique in the history of magazine literature. The Cosmopol- itan will endeavor to repeat it's past success, with a Pan-American Exposi- tion Number, which will be even more attractive, If possible, than it's Worlds Fair predecessor.
 The most famous writers of the country have been invited to take part in the preparation of this issue. After many days careful study of all the wonderful scenes of the Exposition, more than hundred photographs have been prepared, which, taken as whole, give thorough conception of the marvels of this Exposition.
 It is doubtful if any book, selling at forty times the price of the magazine, will give any description of the Fair which will approach in interest and artistic value the September Cosmopol. itan.
 Those who visit the Fair will pre- serve this number as delightful ref erence book in the years to come, and those who are unable to go there will secure such comprehensive view of it's main attractions as we'll worthy of preservation.

 A company was organized last week at L4ordsburg, for the purpose of build- ing a railroad from Lordsburg to Hachita, New Mexico, for the purpose of forming connection between the Arizona and New Mexico Railroad and the El Paso and Southwestern now be- ing rapidly constructed between Dem- ing, New Mexico and Bisbee, Arizona. The road was surveyed some months ago, and Superintendent Simmons, of the Arizona & New Mexico, is now in East Texas contracting for the ties. Construction work will be commenced at once, or at least within the very near future. The road will be stand ard guage, with seventy-fve pound rails, ballasted with slag from the cop- per smelters at Clifton, and built in a first-class manner in all particulars. The road is capitalized at $500, 900. The officers are James Colquhoun, pres ident; NJ. J. Egan, vice president; H. J. Simmons, secretary and treasurer. Those three, with D. II. Kedzie and J. A. Leahy, form the board of direct OTIS. The building of this road will give Clifton and Morenci, as well as Lordsburg, new line to El Paso via Deming, where it will connect with the Santa Fe system. It is expected that the El Paso Southwestern will be completed to Deming and in operation soon after the first of the year. The main line of the road to Fl Paso, which will pass about twenty miles south oi Deming, will doubtless not be complet. ed before the latter part of next year, as it will pass through some very rough country. When the main line shall have been completed, this section will then have three outlets to Fl Paso which will be of great advantage in many ways.

that the manure is saved and used to the best advantage.
 He says the reason he is so partic- ular about keeping the weeds down is from early traning that when he was boy he was hired to q. man that let his snnhowers grow all summer and made him dig them out in the fall with a mattock; that he lost his health in the undertaking and has never since been able to handle full grown weeds-he just has to cut them while they are small.
 Neighbor v is always lat home" to his creditors, and they always seem to be in the best of humor when they depart.
 He frequently remarks that his day of worry is over since the new co-opera- tive creamery and ice factory is in good running order. He now gets a fair test and fair price. Years ago, when he had only one COW and got 34c. for his milk, he never expected to see the day when he would have twenty cows and get $1 35, and have all these cows give twice as much milk each as did the one COW.

Do Not Procrastlnats.
From the Phoenix Gazette.l


 The next session of the National Irri- gation Congress will be held at Chicago in October. This promises to be, in many respects, the most. interesting and important of these gatherings held up to date. We are now facing a critical period in the history of the na- tional irrigation movement. Hitherto the effort has been to educate the peo- pie of the country as to the importance of movement rega rding which vast majority of those living east of the Rocky mountains, have, until recently, had little or no conception, most of them regarding the idea of irrig ation on large scale as something wild, speculative and chiulerical, like the idea of reaching the North Pole by balloon. By two years of hard, per sistent and systematic missionary work throughout the country this condition of affairs has been entirely changed. Few great national movements have within so brief time aroused so much enthusiasm throughout the country. National irrigation is no longer a theory. It is a condition which the great mass of the people demand shall be established with as little loss of time as possible. Hitherto, most of the effective work has been done in the east. It is now time for the west to take up the fight and put it through to a conclusion. The time between now and the next session of congress is none tco long for thorough organi- zation of the irrigation forces in the west. There will be no excuse for the coming congress not to act on the question. It is now thoroughly under stood, and should congress fail to give it the attention which it deserves, it will, undoubtedly, be chiefly due to lack of strong and persistent effort by us of the west to whom the question is of such vital importance. An excha Dge says:
 More farming lands for the west more money for the east, and lesi
 water for the soathi This may be said toba summing up of the results of 6 comprehensive irrigation policy, whicf would place 75,OO0.0OO acres of now arid western land under close cultiva- tion, and thus create an i'm mense hom' market for the manufacturing interests , of the east and at the same time largel, | prevent the disastrous floods of tn, Mississippi valley"
 r That is the question in 8 nutshell. { Let it not be forgotten that the re } publican party has spoken out plainl. t on this great question. The platform of the party, enunciated in the las , campaign, declared tin further pul 5 suance of the constant policy of th 3 republican party to provide free home . on the public domain, we recommen Y adequate national legislation to rs l clair the arid lands of the Unite f State, eserving control of the distribr f tion of water for irrigation to the II s spective states and territories.

 Neighbor z is rushing his hay and grain to market. Ton after ton of the virgin fertility of his land is ship ped to foreign parts. His land is sap ped to produce all this hay and grain and left bare to bake till the next season.
 He is getting the big price of five dollars per ton for his hay. He pays out of this 50 cents to put it on the cars, s2 to have it baled and $2.50 per acre to have it moved and put in the stack: He makes sometime ton per acre and sometimes less. He takes chances on the weather and sometimes gets his crop damaged third or more. After small outlay for machinery and repairs he has princely sum to deposit in the bank. After sweating and shaking all the season, and find ing that his bank account is not as large as he could wish, he imagines that If he had a little more land, little more machinery, and would do little more sweating and shak- ing he would surely "get there. n ltis4 some little time, though, till the next season, and the next best thing is to ''hike" out for 8 job, dodge his creditors, and give all the weed seed on the ranch time to mature. Neighbor V is not as able to do hard work as Neighbor z, and beside his boys all beiug girls, he cannot run the amount of machinery that Neighbor does. As for running after job, that is out of the question.
 1 That piece of grain is hardly enough ! to justify having header and threshel camp on him, besides there is hardly room for the camp, so the grain i, l piled up and fed to the hens. The girll pick up the eggs and look after tn, chickens, and find at the end of tn, year that the twelve tons of grain hay
 have returned just two hundred an, forty dollars, or twenty dollars per tor
 or $50 per acre for the three-acre crop
 These same girls take just as mucl
 interest in seeing the calves look nice taking care of the milk, etc. Tn
 cows are so gentle and good that the
 cannot help loving them and pettin them, and the cows show their appre
 ciation of this kindness by givin, . double quantities of milk. Neighbo V has field ofalfalfa that would prot
 ably turn off ten tons of hay but ther
 is too much work for him and hardl
 enough glory to justify hiring it GU

When the last legislature was in session, the Courier suggested that 8
 bullion tax of 50 cents on each $1 900 gross bullion output of all mines would ot be burdensome to the small mine and would reach the big one in 6 way which would be just and in way which would be accepted as reason-. able by all parties at interest. The Courier has not changed it's mind on these lines, aud believes that grave mistake was made in not passing, such law. We cannot inject prejudice and personal spleen or favoritism into laws and conform with the principles
 of republican form of government. Our laws must be general and equally
 applicable to every citizen in the land.
 There are several groups of mines in Arizona from which values are annuRt- ly taken equaling in value all the as- sessable property of the counties in which those mines are located. Those values are taken from Arizona, and the bulk of them go into the pockets of non-residents and they are practically untaxed The system needs fixing i; but it must be fixed without bias and fixed so that the burden will rest equal ly on all, and when it does this it will rest lightly on all. The burden of taxation has always consisted more in the inequality of taxation than in the
 actual amount of such taxation. This 1 50 cents per $1 ,000 taxation would be 8 self-regulating matter and would dc away with whole lot of wild talk about assessing mines for so many
 million dollars on their newspaper
 rumored valuation.-IPrescott Courier

CHANGE FOR HOMES.

But if the Government undertakes the work and charges the settler for only the actual cost of construction, it places home within the poor mans grasp, and every acre will be taken up IS fast as reclaimed. This would mean vast increase in Western population. Increase in population means a de- mand for the necessities and luxuries of life. Many of the necessities and most of the luxuries are produced east of the Mississippi river. Therefore irrigation means a growing flood of Eastern supplies to Western markets Already many Eastern factories are largely supported by their Western orders, and the complete reclamation of the West would enormously increase work for Eastern factories and even work for Eastern farmers to supply food for the added thousands of fac- tory operatives.
