gave chase.
The train was stopped, and the pas

After an enjoyable day they started
home in high spirits, admiring the beau

of brief duration, for, while yet 16
miles from the city, the coupling of the
hack suddenly went out of business,
and they were stranded. Around still
spread the beauty Of the hills, but
things no longer looked good, while a
slight rain had awakened all the sticky
qualities Of the rich, red soil, which got
in its work on shoes and skirts. The
ladies arose TO the occasion with many
and varied suggestions about getting
home, a place that had become doubly
dear. Finally one Of the gentlemen

rig he had that would carry the party

ENTERS THE
FIFTH WEEK

The fifth week of the Martin-McVay
meeting at the Christian pavilion be.
g'n under very auspicious conditions
yesterday. Indeed, it was the best day
since the meeting has begun, and there
have been a number Of Chests" The
evangelsts were both at their best, and
seem to not be growing weary in well
doing, while all the circumstances seem
TO be working TO one end, and that is
that good may be the result Of the ef-
forts being put forth by these able men.
There were 10 accessions TO the church
as a direct result Of their efforts yester.
day The music by the chorus improves
from day to day, and is an important
feature Of the service. Professor Me-
Way is very successful as q chorus lead
er, and infuses a vitality in the singing
that is inspiring, while his solos are
pleasing and impressive. Unlike many
cultured singers, he sings in such an
unaffected manner and speaks his words
in a clear, distinct tone, so that every
word is easily understood.
"The Infallible Way will be the sub.
ject Of DR.. Martins discourse tonight.
On next Sunday afternoon there will be
a special meeting for children in the
pavilion. The subject will be ga Dozen
Dos and a Dozen Don 'ts. "

Members of congress now i'll Washington whose long service and senatorial prestige gives especial value to their utterances, say that during the summer Sen ator Knox has been in confer ence with nearly all the leaders in the senate upon the subject of railway rate legislation, and es- pecially the form desired by the president. Senator Knox has convinced them, moreover, that what MT. Roosevelt wants is constitutional and at the same time practical and simple.

Russia is the biggest country that was ever launched on the sea of self-government. And to say that she is no more fit for navigation than the feet which she recently sailed for the bot tom of the Japan sea is not to state half the truth. But she can neither sail nor swim with out braving the water, and the whole world stands aghast in anticipation of the greatest his toric tragedy enacted since the annihilation of time and space. A system hoary if not venerable, but still a system-overthrown; an interreguum of anarchy; po- litical power, like dynamite, scattered amidst darkest igno- rance, wild with Utopian expec- @tations; factions and ambitions fighting each other and rending the bowels of the nation. These are but a few of the problems that nation of 40, 100000, com posed of heterogeneous conger- ies of races and religions, all flu riously ignorant, must settle in the usual way-through bloody exhaustion.

Making Irrigation Survey.

Billings, Montana. The Unit ed States reclamation office lOcat- ed here has just received notih- cation from the department of the interior at Washington of the withdrawal of about 800,O0 acres of land in Yellowstone and Sweet Grass counties under the reclamation act.
 The lands set aside for irriga ton are in what is known as the Lake Basin, and the project, if carried out, will be by far the greatest of any in the entire Northwest, if not in the country. Two engineering troops are now in the field running the canal line, which will tap the Yellow stone at Livingstone, running between the Musselshell and Yellowstone rivers to Antelope creek, a distance of over 15O miles,. The project involves the construction of immense storage reservoirs and the utilization of such natural reservoirs as exist.
 Chief Engineer Savage, who is in charge of the work, says it is such a gigantic enterprise that it will require years to com plete it.
The Arizona sentinel., 1905-11-29

While it may be humiliating to some to read that all the for eign engineers voted against our practically adopted plan for a lock canal and that now members of congress have discovered that we are paying to canal officials too much money, we may still find qualification in the fact that the senate adopted Senator Spooner's bill, so carefully worded, that no more money may be put into the canal until congress has reviewed the causes of the present unsatisfactory conditions.

DISAPPOINTMENT TERRITORIAL FAIR.
To the Press:

U tl1S I I0SS.
 The management have to an nounce the postpOnement of the First Annual Territorial Fair to the week of December 25th to 30tb, inclusive.
 This has become necessary on account of the heavy rains that have delayed the work of final arrangements and have caused floods in the Salt and Gila rivers. The Santa Fe bridge at Tempe has been carried out and the probabilities are that the other lines of railroads will be very seriously affected by the flood waters, and to such an extent as to make it questionable about the attendance. In view of such uncertainty it has been thought best to make this postponement. Please give all possible publicity and remember the new dates Dec. 25th to 30th.
 Yours truly,
 Vernon l.. Clark,
 Superintendent. Phoenix, Ariz.. Nov. 2.

St. Petersburg dispatches state that the czar by imperial mani festo has made extensive land grants to the Russian peasants and that taxes have been reduced one half with the promise of to- tai abolition in the near future. The czar has probably learned that the peasant proprietors of France are the men who have made France wealthy and the men who have paid the cost of all of her wars since the revolu- tiOn.

Relative to the naval policy of the United States we have the remarkable conditions of the president and his chosen secre- tary of the navy in opposition to each other. The president is perhaps better acquainted with the navy than with any other branch of the service. He was assistant secretary of the navy at the beginning of the Spanish war, and he has persistently in his messages to congress, in his speeches and in his private talks urged the building of more and larger battleships. Now the sec retary of the navy, his personal friend and choice, recommends a cessation of ship building and the strengthening of the navy personnel. Can it be possible that the administration is at war with itself, or is there @ secret agreement between the secretary of the navy and the president that the time has come for re- trenchment and for more partic- ular attention to the increase, numerically and in efficiency of the force of men behind the guns? If this is the policy it would appear to be a wise one, for we have on the stocks to be completed within the next four or five years greater number of battleships than we can now off, cer and man.

The best informed in Wash ington political news say that in deference to the wishes of those that favor readjustment of the tariff schedule at the coming ses- sion of congress, the presidents message will express his belief that some schedules need mOdi- fication and his hope that con- gress, with it's ability to deter mine the time for such change, will meet the needs and wishes of the country.

It has been suggested that we need upon our battleships young men too high spirited to submit to hazing-a practice designed to teach self control under the most exasperating circumstan
 ces. It would be interesting to know how much the hazing of their cadet days contributed to the superb and statesmanlike self control shown by Admiral Dewey when alone in Manila Bay, and which enabled Captain Sigsbee, amid the groans of his massacred crew and the ruins of the battleship Maine, to cable from Havana, Suspend pubic judgment pending investigation.

The reported friction between this country and Germany over the new tariff schedules that the Germans are to enforce after March 1st next is somewhat mlnimized by the remarks of the members of congress that claim to have read the passages on this subject in the presidents forthcoming message. Accord ing to these gentlemen the pres ident has presented the subject in way that will command the attention of congress and bring to it's notice all the facts neces- sary for it to judiciously decide the questions involved.

Our Desert Hines.

As the years pass it becomes more and more convincing to the informed man of the mining con- ditions surrounding Needles, that Needles is yet in it's infancy and will grow gradually and steadily until it becomes mining center of>much larger magnitude than it is at the present time. To the north of Needles and upon the Arizona side of the Colorado river, the great San Francisco district has demonstrated its ability to be named among the producing districts of the South west. To the northwest is New berry mountain, prospected for years, but only within recent years has it become an attraction to mining capital, and the devel- opment work now being done in and around Newberry mountain further demonstrates the stabil- ity of the ore bodies of the coun
 try. A little farther north, in the state of Nevada, is the Searchlight district, which has during the last ten years devel- oped from a poorly prospected lot of hills to a section of coun- try dotted with mills, hoists. workings and individual camps, as well as the little mining center of Searchlight, all of which are receiving honorable mention in the mining history of the South west. To the south of Needles, the Whipple Mountain district and the Riverside Mountain country are being developed and splendid samples of ore are be- ing shown. Much money is be- ing spent in development work upon the California side of the Colorado river, while upon the east side of the river in Arizona properties which were worked forty years ago are being further developed and many new prop critics are being discovered, and in nearly every case authentic reports state the properties to have such showing with merely assessment work that capital is being interested and the devel- opment work being continued on to effect producing mines and 1t can be confidently said that with in few years, almost months, the district along the Colorado river south of Needles will be mentioned among the list of pro- ducing districts. Expensive transportation has held the de- velopment of this section of the country back for the past years, but with the prospect of railroad facilities in that section, mining development and prospecting has received a great impetus. To the west of Needles there are many properties being developed and now that the Exchequer dis trict has come to the front, Nee dies is practically surrounded with a mining country, the de-
 velopment of which is practically proving every day that the ore
 bodies are large and rich and continuous.-Needles Eye.

That's the personal question a woman asks herself when she reads of the cures of womanly diseases by the use of Dr. Piercc'S FavOrite Prescription.
 Why shouldn't it cure her?
 Is it complicated case? Thousands of such cases have been cured by .'Fa- vorite Prescription" Is it a condition which local doctors have declared in curable? Among the hundreds of thou sands of sick women cured by the use Of Dr. Pierce'S Favorite Prescription there are great many who were pronounced incCrable by local doctors. Wonders have been worked by "Favorite Pre- scriptlon" in the cure of irregularity, weakening drains, inflammation, ulcera- tion and female weakness. It always helps. It almost always cures.
