WORDS OF SWEETEST COMFORT.

An avalanche of letters from friends expressing sym
patty for him in his great sorrow over the death of his
wife prompted ]. A. Riis to publish the following in a re-
cent issue of the outlook:
$50 many friends have written to me and mine words
of love and sympathy and of tender appreciation OF her
whom every one loved, as truly she gave of her full heart
to ali Gods children, that | am constrained to ask you for
space to thank them here, since to write to them all in
reply is not possible. | do thank them from the bottom OF
my heart, for myself and for my children. 1t does help to
feel that we are kin, and that brotherly love is not a
phrase. but a warm, %throbbing fact.
"They ask, many of them, what | am going to do now
that she who was the inspiration of it all is gone? But
she is not gone. If in my soul | believed that, | should be
desolate indeed. 1t is only that the river separates us
once more as when we were children. | know as well as |
knew then that she is in the garden just beyond where all
her summers are beautiful now, and that she is waiting
for me there.
$50 l shall seek the path to that garden till l find it.
I am once more where | dreamed as a boy, and l know
that | shall wake, as | did then, to find the truth unspeak-
ably fairer than my dream. Nor do | fear to miss the way,
the Lord himself has charted it so that | cannot go wrong.
4 am tae way He said. She went trustfully across the
river wIth Him and was not afraid.
so why should l be? l shall be lonesome. yes! God
knows how lonesome. But | have the sweet memories OF
the thirty happy years we walked together here, and what
are a few years of loneliness to the eternity of joy ahead
where hearts are never wrung in parting? And | shall
not be Idle. | shall be doing what she would have me do.
and in it all, as you see, she will be the inspiration, as
she was all the years that are gone"

he HAILED FROM CHICAGO
BUT CELEBRATED AT K0GALES
From Noeales Oasis

1t was his fnty-second birthday and miles of prairies,
and desert lay between him and his Chicago
home. He was in the wild and woolly west of which he had
read so often. He was in the woIiest part of that wild
side of the continent-Arizona. He would celebrate.
Cooped up in his little business office in the crowded
city he had often read of the wide open towns Of the
west. Al last he was in one, and with no meddltng friends
or relatives to interfere with him he would celebrate.
To note the different and varied features of the cele-
bration would require considerable time and type. Let one
feature stand for a sample. Numerous trifles may be
passed over and a stop finally made at the roulette wheel
in the Monte Carlo.
Twentysix?
Why, 26 was his birthday.
Sure he would back 26.
And he did.
Time and again 26 turned up and numerous big
stacks of various colors were pushed across the table to
the cashier and the money taken in. Tens, twenties and
afties went to pay for drinks at the bar.
Twenty-six?
You bet &c was a lucky number. =
Why 26 was his birthday.
Sure he would bet on 26.
And again 26 came his way, and again large stacks
of different colored chips crossed the table and were
cashed in to make room for more. 1t was like a special
sale Of summer goods, to make room for the fall and win.
ter stock, and the rubber necks a~pplauded each winning
Three hours passed and during that time &c had come
up many times and even repeated. Large stacks of chips
second year finally rose from the stoo, with the remark:
"Egad, didn't l make some fine winnings, though? Die
you see how 26 came up? Why. 26 is a lucky number
Why, 26 is my birthday"
He had made a number Of big winnings on 20.
He was happy.
He had celebrated fast and free, with none to inter
fere and though he was out several hundred dollars he
had made some fine winnings on &C." You see, he had
covered many numbers that never turned up. The mum
bers that lose are never mentioned. They are only paiC
for. But, egad, he had celebrated in style and had made
some winnings on 26.
Why. 26 was his birthday, egad.

ALBUQUERQUE. THE BEAUTIFUL.

This city is the leading one of New Mexico in size,
natural advantages, industrial enterprises and
wealth.
Water is of such easy development, the soil so rich,
and the extent of the valley SO great, that ike Damascus,
the oldest city in existence, Albuquerque should be sur.
rounded by thousands of continuous and uninterrupted
gardens.
Ultimately this will be the case; but whether 1t
comes in ten years or in twenty-five years must depend on
the people of Albuquerque. There is no reason why in the
next ten years the people in and Immediately around Al
buquerque should not be twice as numerous as they are
now, enumerating from $4,000 to 5000.
Eow did Albuquerque outstrip her sister cities of the
ter ftory in wealth and population? Because she advertised
her advantages; and if she Is to double her tributary pop
ulation, it must be by advertising again. The world is
full of people looking for homes, but they must be in
structed as to where is the best place to LOOK.
A few years ago the Albuquerque Commercial club
rendered royal service to the city in the way of advertis-
ing. 1t must do so again. IL its financial condition is not
SO good now as then, let the people of Albuquerque see to
it that its financial condition shall be improved. Every
enterprising, public spirited Albuquerquean should belong
to the club, and thus increase its revenue as well as its
progressiveness.
Formerly, letters, papers, pamphlets, kilograms were
sent out from albuquerque and by the club, almost con
tinuously. Good people of Albuquerque, let us return tc
the former good and successful way of building up ouI
city.

THE PERIL.

There is not a soul of the 100000 Inhabitants of
stricken New Orleans who is not in danger from yellow
fever except the immunes.
An immune is a person who has withstood one siege
of yellow jack. Such a one will never again suffer.
The fever has gained a firm hold on New Orleans and
the whole country is looking in its direction with the
greatest interest and anxiety. To secure the very best and
most reliable news from the scene this newspaper has APP
pointed ]. H. Whyte, a well known journalist, who is i'm
mune, as its special yellow fever commissioner at New
Orleans.
Mr.. Whyte is able to go into the infected sections of
the city. into the detention hospitals; in short, every
where where the danger exists.
In this issue is his first article. In it he tells about
plans of campaigning against the fearful disease; about
the work of the doctors and nurses and of yellow fever
itself.

BIG IMPROVEMENTS
: AT UNIVERSITY
New Steam Heating Plant,
Gymnasium and Swimming
Pool Completed.
BOARD OF REGENTS TO INSPECT

During the summer vacation, ex-
tensiye improvements have been made
to the University of New Mexico,
which places this institution on a par
in point of equipment, with any school
in the southwest. These improvements
consist of a new steam heating plant,
gymnasium and immense swimming
pool.
The steam heating plant consists of
two forty-hOrse power boilers, and is
modern in every respect. IL will fur
nish heat and plenty of it, for all
parts of the main and adjoining build
ings, and will be a great Improvement
over the old heating system. The
finishing touches were put on the
plant today.
A new gymnasium is being put in.
which will be the most complete and
up to date gym in the southwest. All
new equipment will takeNthe place OF
the old and WORKOUT furnishings OF
the present gymnasium, and every
thing that will add TO the promotion
of athletics at the university, will be
added.
In connection with the gymnasium,
an immense swimming pool, 6Ox15O
feet, has been built. The pool Is sit
uated in the open air. and is con
structed of brick, lined with a tar
preparation. The water will be heat
ed by steam and the pool will be one
of the greatest drawing cards the
university could possibly have.
These improvements will be turned
over TO the board of regents in the
next few days, when they will make
an inspection of the institution, pre-
paratory to accepting the work of the
contractors. The cost of the improve
ments will run into the thousands.

New M~exico,s opportunltx.

The United States continues to import something like
$50, 100000 pounds of secured wool annually and New
Mexico will have to multiply the number of it's sheep and
their wool product by forty before it will be in position
to supply the shortage which must be at present supplied
by importation. If a rational method of feeding is adopt
ed and the destruction of the range by sheep owners who
i've only for today is checked, there is very good ground
for the belief that sooner or later, New Mexico can assist
materially toward supplying at least the home markets
with sufficient of the home product to make importation
of such grades of wool, as can be raised here, unneces-
sary.-New Mexican.

Short Sighted Policy.

The Albuquerque Journal is sour because Las Vegas,
Estancia, Springer, Pennington, Santa Fe and other
towns intend to hold fairs or fall exhibitions of their own
this year. This is what it says sarcastically: ut is said
that Isleta will be the next town to announce a south
central New Mexico fair. Corrales and Chilli are still to
be heard FROM Fortunately, other towns and newspa-
pers have been aware for a long time that that corpora
ton sheet advocates a narrow, shortsighted policy that
is doing Albuquerque no good. Live and let Live!" is
not one of its aphorsms. In its stead it advocates:
Everything for us and our corporations and may the
devil take the rest!"-New Mexican.

ON rAE \ LEG

The Graham Guardian says a citizen Of Graham who
favors joint statehood, recently posted the following no
tice on one of his fences: "Ef emmy mans or womans
horses COWS or oxens gifts into this here field, his or her
tail will be kut off as the case may bee" That is a fair
saple of the intelligence Of the people who want joint
statehood.-Florence Blade.
The boot is on the other leg. The foregoing is a fair
sample of the methods of the opponents to statehood.
Having no argument to support their own cause, unable to
controvert the weigthy arguments advanced in favor of
statehood they resort to stuff like the foregoing-No-

Era of Railroad RulIdlna.

The whole southwest and New Mexico especially is
seeing a railroad campaign, the like of which has never
before been waged. The rapid development of many new
sections of country that will follow as a consequence viii
place this territory much farther ahead in population,
wealth and industries.
The railroads, with the exception of the Santa Fe,
have hitherto chosen to build through the waste places
and the edges of the territory rather than to open up the
best sections. All this is to be changed and within five
years 1t will be pretty hard in any part of New Mexico
to get beyond the sound of a locomotive whistle-Las
Vegas Optic.

Lesson in Geography.

For the especial benefit of some big daily papers OF
Arizona, that some way get every town of northern Ari-
iona in Apache county, it is to be remarked that it Is
generally understood up here, while Apache county would
not be ashamed at all to have Winslow, Flagstaff, Hol-
brook, Snowflake Taylor, Pinetop, ct al, in this county.
those towns are in other counties and are likely to re-
main out of Apache for some time to come, from present
indications. And in this connection it may be well to
state that st. Johns is at this time still in Apache county.

Last night the Neher home, No.

scene of a very delightful social
function, when Miss Carrie Neher
gave a farewell party to her cousins,
the Misses Emma and Elnora Segelke,
OF Crete, Neb., who have been here
guests the past summer.
Dancing was d feature of the even
ing and a large number of the young
social set were present.
The young ladies will leave tomor-

Albuquerque they have been the recip-
tents of many social functions and
have made a host of friends who will

New Mexico FruitfuIness.

In Luna county wild peas are being harvested as a
forage crop. One man alone cut 500 tons in the vicinity
of Deming and sent them to Silver City where they found
a ready market. Even though only So per ton were
realized, yet, it meant a total of $500 simply gathered
from the public range. With nature as bountful as all
that there is no excuse for permitting sheep and cattle
to perish during cold spells in winter owing to lack of
feed-New Mexican.

GOOD AarlcuIturaI shOwIne.

O. c.. Vaughan of Texico, has just finished cutting
two hundred acres of small grain on his ranch near that

If it is true, as Governor Folk says, that there is no
more corruption new than at other times, but merely
more investigation. exposure and prosecution, then the
tendency of the times is especially encouraging. But
whether there is more or less dishonesty in official life,
there certainly seems TO be more extensive graft in bust
ness, especially in the large combinations, than ever be-
fore, except so far as 1t has been checked by very recent
laws and prosecutions. But the growth of sentiment in
favor of the Square deal" honest business methods, the
restriction of special privileges, and particularly in favor
of the enforcement of all laws, point to better conditions
more equitable opportunities and a more even distribu
ton of the benefits of life and the happiness that comes
from them. The encouragement of an active public con
science goes a long way to counteract the pessimism tina
arises from individual derelictions.-Kansas City Times
