EXCITEMENT IN ARGENTINE.
South Amefican fsepabfic Perturbes ~ slwer S-aurre~m


 Over sCengreas.
 Buenos Ayres, Jan.i 26.--Great ex- citefnent prevails here owing to the is- suancs of an executive decree closing the extraordinary session of Congress and putting into effect for the current fiscal year the 1907 budget. This ex- treme measure. which seems to meet the general approval. was occasioned by the obstructive attitude of the ma jortty in the Senate. with the result that neither the budget nor other leg islaxion could be dealt with. the Gov srnsment being left poweriess to meet ordinary expenditures
 h President Aicorta declares that the forces Of law and crder are prepared promptly to suppress any subversive or violent movement on the part of the opposition. This, however. is not an- ticipatsd. Regarding the threat of the opposition to meet. despite the decree in Congress-. the Government has de- cided to prevent such meeting by all the means in it's power.
 President Alcorta, in an interview today decided that he did not believe there was any attempt at rebellion, but fin any casa, he edded. the Government is perfectly able to enforce respect for its decisions.

 T accepted the presidency of the bank temporarily with reluctance at the urgent request of prominent finan- ciers last October. at that time when Mir. Charles W. Morse retired as vice. president. During the panic the bank lost over ten millions in deposits. Its deposits now amount to little over three millions.
 T had hoped to get back a large number of our depositors and to reha- bilitate the bank. but the state of our cash reserves and the dificulty on our part of lending money to those who might have returned it to us, put 1t out of our power to offer them a sum- cient reason for resuming banking re- lations with us.

A Big Event

From present indications the national irrigation congress to meet in Albuquerque this. fall, will be the biggest thing of the kind ever attempted by western city, as it has now grown into an inter. national affair.
 The state department at Wash ington has made it an information al affair by sending out invitations to all foreign countries, and it is more than likely that several of them will be represented.
 In this country, outside the ter ritory great interest in the coming event is shown, and the interest is so great in Washington that Steve Elkins has come 10 the front with a prize of $5OO for one of the ex- hihits.
 The success of the meeting is now assured, and the city of A!buquer- que can get down to the work of providing meeting place for the congress, and sleeping places for the thousands of visitors certain to be there.

About Judge Sloan

The Arizona Republican, in con- meDting upon the move to drag Judge Sloan from the bench and tangle him up in the contest for delegate to the national republican convention. says:
 "We know of many republicans lawyers and others. in the north many warm friends, personal and political, of Judge Sloan, who don't like the idea, and we have been in- formed that a ajority of the re- publicans of the five northern counties, have heard with regret of that part of the program which drags him into the political arena, where he can gain nothing, but may loose much It is admitted that Judge Sloan is the strongest man in all the north. Itis therefore regarded as the greater pity that his splendid strength should be in a cause so unworthy of the risk"

GOVERNOR KIBBEY RETURNS

Statement of Governor Kibbey in Phoenix Gazette: From what 1 learned in the east, l am of the opinion that there will be no state hood legislation for year at least but while in Washington l was as sured by President Roosevelt that he was heartily in favor of grant ing single statehood to both Ari- zona and New Mexico, and that the matter would receive his sup port when it came up. New Mexi- co will not be treated better than Arizona. After talking with lead CTS in both houses 1 am satisfied the president was wise not to rec commend statehood legisletion for this session. l am also convinced that the chances are very good, in deed for the passage of a bill at the next session admitting the tive territories as separate states"
 Governor Kibbey is also of the opinion that the opposition oi Beveridge and others, against thf admission of Arizona as a state, single and alone, will not be in evidence when the matter of tht admission of Arizona and New Mexico is brought up again. before congress. In fact, according to the governor, joint statehood is dead issue in Washington and Ali zona will never again be bothered by the spectre.

Experiments are to be made in several places in Southern Cali fornia and Arizona, upon unirriga- ted lands, in the production of a grass which grows in the Sahara desert. This grass is called alfa and from it is made a fine grade of paper. If grass can be grown on the desert area of the southwe st that will produce paper cheap enough to stop the depredations of the paper trust upon the timbered area of our country we certainly should look upon this experiment with an ardent hope for its success.
