Visit of Sap Officials.

The officials of the Sap system,
Nessrs. Hudson. Monserrate, Stay
Zon and Hardaway. who paid our
1own visit asst week, stopping
over about twenty-four hours, left
quite a favorable impression upon
Che minds Of those few OF our citiz-
ems they met during their brief stay;
nor was it by beat OF drum and
1lare of trumpet, midst burning Of
red fire. These gentlemen were
most agreeably, surprisingly and
the writer can truthfully add
profoundly impressed with the
7xonderful natural resources of the
Lower Rio Grande counties. One
of them expressed it in this wise:
We hardly dreamed of seeing such
4 fine country; it isindeed revela-
zion to us. A country so pregnant
with future vast possibilities, now
becoming known to the outside
zyorld, can not, in the nature of
shings, remain much longer without
-ail connection"
Our people, we Of Hidalgo coun-
", have faith in the Sap officials,
and knowing that it is to their
interest to build, we can not but
believe that there will soon be an
extension Of their line from Alice

The quarterly conference of the
Vincent Methodist church last night
took a whack at the mead OF Rev. A.
r.. Lambert of the First Methodist
church by the adoption of resolutions
praising Rev. II. d. Kimball. their
pastor. for the absence of sensation
alism from his sermsns ana services.
AS Rev. Lambert Is known as the
most sensational preacher of Spokane.
the resolutions are evidently intend
ed as roundabout ccnsure of his
course. and incidentally Of the First
Methodist church, which, since the
days when Bishop" McInturf was
pastor, has enjoyed more or less SEN
sationalism in it's pulpit.
The censure was contained In
resolution unanimously adopted con-
tinuing Rev. Kimbali as pastor which
reads as follows:
"We wish particularly to commend
the total absence of all SENSATIONAL
ism from his sermons and services.
and that. instead. there Is present the
