PETITION FOR LOCAL OPTION
Want Bill Permitting Citizens to
Vote on Question
MUCA ENTHUSIASM IS STIRRED Up
LARGE AUDIENCE At CENTRAL
CHRISTIAN CHURCH IN SYM
PATTY WITH HERWiG.
MUCH ENTHUSIASM IS STIRRED UP

"Resolved that we, citizens and vOt-
ers of Walla Walla, in mass meeting
assembled, do hereby memorabilia and
petition our senator and representa-
tiyes in the Legislature to work and
vote on tine question of whether Or not
they shall have saloons in their re-
spective communities"
The above resolution was adopted
unanimously by a large audience at the
Central Christian church yesterday at
ternoon as the result of stirring adj
dress on the local option question by
perintendent of the anti-saloon league.
The speaker contended that the
question of restraining the saloon was
= tremendous one and that the metnod
the question of saloon or no saloon was
the most practicable method of stop
ping the abuses growing out of the Ii
quCr question.
A Practical Question.
Mr. Herwig said that he diu not want
to dictate to this city the attitude they
should assume on this question. but
that because it was a moral and re-
ligious question it was political ques-
ton
THAT which, with propriety. can be
discussed from the pulpit can with
equal propriety form the subject of
debate in our legislative halls and can
also be the subject of deliberate dis
cussiOn in our political conventions
and among the voters of any commun-
ity. and make no apology for IN
sisting that the great conflict that we
are engaged in be fought on the bat
tie field of politics as well as in the
academies. colleges and churches Of
our mighty land said Rev. Mr..
Herwig If we admit the right
of the state to regulate evils We
must equally admit its right to abolish
or prohibit them. 1t is prepOsterOus
to say that the state has a right to
imprison the drunkard and at the same
time has no business to interfere in
the means by which he is made a
drunkard. Such a position is illogical
and untenable and should not appeal
to a broad minded man.
Il am not here. however. to berate
the salOOnkeepers nor to find fault

saloon league. l merely desire to tell
you of our purpose and leave to your

will join us in this noble conflict

Q A BRONCO.

The special qualifications of Captain
Curry which appealed to our Rough
Rider President, and his bent as a
mixer are well illustrated by his
performance at the Socorro county
fair las week. A news dispatch sent
out to all the great newspapers of the
country read as follows:
Governor George Curry, the Rough
Rider executive of New Mexico, open
ed the Socorro county fair here to
day by successfully riding an unbrok.
en- bronco, to the amusement of 10000
spectators. He then took part in a rop
ing exhibition and fancy lariat throw
ing. He won third prize. Governor
Curry is considered one of the best
riders and rope throwers in the Ter
ritory."
A majority of New Mexico people
not only decline to be shocked by
such an exhibition on the part OF
their governor, but are actually more
proud of mis- cowboy accomplishments
and Democratic simplicity tnan OF
his executive ability and devotion to
the cause of good government.

VALUE OF THE SOIL
IN THE PEcOS VALLEY

From The Earth (Cnicago.)
The value of the soil of the Pecos
Valley of New Mexico for the uses OF
agriculture was proved by the enter
prise of settlers who made irrigation
bitches and bored artesian wells be
fore the government undertook the
work of reclamation there. However,
private enterprise always is the fore
runner of public improvements, and
the two reclamation plants establish
ed in the valley came in logical time.
The irrigable areas were there and
the water abundant, N the govern
ment, since it was authorized by law,
could do nothing less than conserve
the water and turn it upon the lands.
For that purpose congress passed he
Reclamation Act, but the fact is not
lost sight of that wherever the gov
eminent spends money for reclama-
ton plants there is a certainty, with
in all human foresight, both of a last
ing supply of water and of land worth
turning water upon. These plants,
costing a million dollars, will not sup
ply water sufficient to nourish all of
the irrigable areas of the higher me
sas of the valley. but they prove the
value of hat soil, and pumps soone
or later will do the rest. In the mean
time, the new population fast is set
ting upon land already within reach
of water. 1t is a region of small hold

for a family's comfortable living, and
