 | It is an unwritten law of the order that every meeting shall be strenuous; just little more so than the last pre- ceding session and if possible that each succeeding class of tyros shall be a little larger than the one before it. Concerning the latter requirement. there may be a slight fall down, owing to the fact that some of the prospec- tive initiates live over in the land of he Philistines, which lies south of the Gila river and few of them perhaps, will care to swim that raging flood only to be burned at the stake when they reach here; and as the railroad bridge is gone they cant come on the cushions.
 But if the session lacks a little in the number of it's candidates there will be no lapsing in the strenuosity of its ceremonials for the altar fires have all ready been lighted and by Wednesday night they will be at a white heat. The incense that will be burned, in point of pungency and penetration, will be to all other sacrificial odors as formal dehyde compares with a weak imita- tion of limburger cheese.
 The mayor of the city and the weather bureau permitting, there will be street parade in the afternoon, as is the custom of the brotherhood, to let the world look for the last time on the assembled tyros. as they appear before regeneration, rejuvenatiOn and disinfection. This parade necessarily has to take place across the burning sands of the desert, and that the streets of Phoenix may be put in Q little better shape 10 play the part, an extra appropriation of sunshine has been ordered for the next two days. A desert caravan without camel would be a weak display at best. but Nat Reese, who affiliated with the shriners on their native heath some hundreds of years ago knew there would be a parade here this year and he has so scheduled his career (with the aid of the washouts), that he is promptly on hand with the same camel he rode across the ocean as a nucleus for his greatest show on earth which he has been working up for some time now. If any of the tyros balk at the camel they will be allowed as special favor, to leap the gap or make the high dive.
 There has been some whispered talk that the ceremonial session might be postponed on account of those who could not jump the washouts, but there's nothing to it. The big thing will come off and if it is necessary to hold a subsequent session, there is no mystic brotherhood on earth more cap able of doing it than the members of Fl Zaribah temple 4. O. N. M s.

morning unannounced he appeared at
the Lutheran church and in long ad-
dress exhorted the people of that
church to renew their efforts to care
for the immigrants who come to our

the train he was hurried to Philadel-

His address was a finished almost

dealt with the duties of citizenship and
the obligation of voters to aid in en-

entirely feasible undertaking to extend
the Lewiston & Southeastern as a
steam road southwark to Boise, giving
the people of this state a realization
Of their dearest dream of the future
railroad that would bond in indissol-
uble union north and south Idaho. OF
the 10 miles of the Lewiston Grange
vile division. So miles extend i'm the
direction of Boise. and by a practical
route not much over 200 miles more
would bring into the capital city of the
state. A tiresomc. eircuitous 500 or
900 miles ride, now necessary between
Boise and Lewiston or Moscow, would
might be made in single day or night.
Colonel Spofford has submitted this
matter of completing a north and south
railroad to his eastern hackers, and
they have been favorable impressed
with it. A reasonable exhibition of To-
cal interest and cooperation he be-
lieves is all that would be necessary to
carry the PROJECT through 10 Sue
cessful termination in the very near
future. especially since the state adj
ministration is pronounced favorable
to such an undertaking and will ex-
tend to it every possible encourage
ment and assistance.
Colonel Spofford is enthusiastic
over the possibilities of development
with which a north and south Idaho
railroad is fraught. The Payette lakes,
he thinks, would become one Of the
famous summer resorts of the west,
and Long valley, with proper transport
tation facilities, would be capable OF
supporting a large population, with an
area as extensive and soil as fertile as
Camas or Nez Perez prairies in north
Idaho. Rich mineral districts and vast
forests OF the finest timber would aid
in making the proposed railroad a div
idend payer. while the increase in pop
ulation and wealth would put Idaho
at once in the fore front among the
states Of the Pacific slope.
