GREAT CROWDS FOR

meeting Of the irrigation congress
will reach above 1905, and possibly
above 5000.

state delegations while the cities and
commercial bodies throughout the
country will send smaller delegations
and swell the total number into the
thousands. Already about 1906
names have been enrolled and more
are being heard from daily.
THE attendance of the general
public ought also to be large. The
railroad rates are entirely satisfac
tory and 1t is quite possible tina,
5000 or 0 people from the sur
rounding country will take advantage
OF them to pay Ell Paso a visit. The

His father died at seventy eight. only four years ago. and he thought his life was shor- tened by hardship. As I remembered these facts I thought of Fairbanks future, and wondered if the front door of the White House may not some day open to him With such an ancestry, added to his careful habits and easy working mind. he ought to be. in good mental and physical shape for twenty years to come. He has a good record, ha halls from a pivotal state and stands well with the politicians and with the rank and file of his party Indeed If were asked to pick out man from the middle west with possibilities I could not find one with better pros poets than Fairbanks.
 The Last Log Cabin Candidate.
 Senator Fairbanks will probably be the last of our log-cabin candidates. The forests have been so cleaned up that the future great man cannot hone ot start life rocked in a sugar trough and learning his letters by the light of pine knots. The log cabin In which Fairbanks was born was situ- ated not far from Columbus, in the then wilds of Ohio His father was a wagon maker, who bought 200 acres of virgin forest and turned 1t into a farm. He built a log cabin with his own hands and in that cabin the Repub- ucan candidate for Vice President was born. I once asked Senator Fairbanks | if he remembered the cabin. He re-

 I asked what became of the cabin and the Senator told me that It was destroyed shortly after the larger house was built. It had been moved aside and turned into carpenter shop for use in constructing the larger building.
 Fairbnnks' Narrow Escape.
 It was at this time that Senator Fairbanks had the narrowest escape of his life. The work on the new house was going on in the winter and fire had been built in the old cabin car penter shop.
