WEDNESDAY EVENING. AUG. 10, 1905.

President ROOSEVELT isn't willing
T run b. risk Of losing to the democrats
III next falls elections the control Of the
House of Representatives, and for this
reason. it is now said, he has abandoned
altogether his often declared purposeof
calling Congress in session this fall for
the purpose of enacting legislation giving.

power TO regulate railroad rates. Ac-
cording to republican politicians now
in Washington, the Senate and House
leaders of the party have impressed The
President with the belief that an almost
certain outcome of an extra session Of
Congress, called for express purpose OF
passing railroad legislation, would be the
success of the democrats in the congress
ional elections of November, 1906. The
House would probably pass the railroad
rate bill. but the Senate would kill it or
postpone action. This would give rise
to factional splits which could not fai
to have a very serious effect on the re-
publican rank and file throughout the
country. The leaders in the Senate would
be placed in warlike attitude toward
the President and the republican major
ity in the House, and this would make
it easy for the democrats to elect a ma
iority of the members Of the succeeding
House. Thus the President would be
LETT in the closing years of his admins
tration without the support of Congress
republican in both branches. These ar
guments have been used with the Presi-
dent most persstently by congressional
leaders and they appear to have been
successful. Notwithstanding his pro-
tests TO the contrary, it is party first and
country afterwards with Mr.. Roosevelt.

THERE is little danger now OF any dis
appointment in the harvests. OF course,
corn might be frost-btten, and all the
northern wheat is not safe and cotton
still has some dangers to face. But
when the crops are in prime condition
at this late date there is not much fear
of serious reverses. Hence business is
proceeding with the utmost confidence
that the farmers will have plenty OF
money. A dozen western States now
promise $40, 900, 600 bushels more OF
corn and ia, 900, 900 bushels more of
wheat than last year, and 1904 was
famous year for the farmers. Railroad
officials and crop statisticians OF the
States are almost unanimous in predict
ing an uncommonly fine year for agri-
culture. The wheat crop will not reach
the figures of 1901, but it may be the
second largest crop in our list, and corp
is likely to beat all records. In spite
of our abundance the state of the
worlds markets is such that prices are
good and are expected to remain so.
This benefcient state of affairs is ap-
propriated by the leaders Of the republi-
can party who, had the crops failed,
would have laid the blame to democratic
agitation.

Ninety-five years ago tonight at mid night the warrior priest, Miguel HidaI- go rang the bell of his parish church sounded the cry. "Grito de Dolores" and Mexican independence was begun. Though it was not attained until long after the beginning it has been annual ly celebrated by Mexicans and former residents, or descendants of residents of the republic.
 The day has always been celebrated by the Mexican population of Phoenix with greater or less elaborateness. de- pendent upon celebrations or the want of them in other towns of the territory which nave considerable Mexican pop ulations. But this year the program is more than usually elaborate.

COMMITTEE OF SIXTEEH
A Brief Outline of its Work and the
 Progress Made.

Great interest exists among the water users of the valley to know more about the nature of the deliber- ations of the committee of sixteen, about which much has been printed as well as the progress of its work. As already understood. the purpose of the committee is to devise a stipula- tion, agreeable to the main body of water users under all the canals which can be subscribed to by them and presented to the court as an aid in facilitating the adjudication of pri- Ority water rights by means of the suit of Hurley vS. Abbott ct al. The na- ture of the work is such that 1t has hitherto been impossible to say much about it as it is something that isn't done at all until it is all done. When it is all done there will be a publica- tion of resolutions or documents set ting forth results. But in order to satisfy those interested, the committee at it's last session authorized the act ing chairman. C. T. Hirst, and the secretary r. Ii. Parker. to prepare for the press a brief statement of the sit uation. The following is therefore pre- scented by their authority:
 The committee of sixteen has spent a great deal of time in carefully col lecting data regarding the past divi- sion of the appropriated natural flow of the water of the Salt and Verde rivers. In doing this the committee has had the records of the court com missioner and all the existing con tracts and court orders connected
