few copies have been received
 in Phoenix of a mighty fine illus trated advertising publication entitled Albuquerque. It is paper cov- cred book, well printed, on pages about 7hX10 inches in size. bound at one end. The edition is issued by H. B. Hening and F. Dana Johnson and is published with the endorse ment of the Albuquerque city gov ernment, the Albuquerque Commer- cial club and the New Mexico bureau of immigration. A copy has been re- ceiVed by w. s. Goldsworthy of the Santa Fe as one item of many he is receiving now at the instance of the board of control of the 1Gth irri- gation congress.
 Besides scores of little pictures of Albuquerque scenes and industrial scenes from Albuquerques mining numbering and other adjacent inter ests, there are some large extension panoramic inserts that are excellent views of large sections of the city. The text matter is descriptive of all these things and is well written. It is part of the campaign of pub licity Albuquerque is Waglng in con nection with the meeting of the ir- rigation congress and the interstate
 industrial exposition.
 For this project the city has the loyal support of the Santa Fe Rail road company which is doing all it possibly can to help. even to the appropriation of slO.OOO for the cree
 ton of a Santa Fe building to house the agricultural and mineral exhibits of Arizona and New Mexico.
 The city of Albuquerque has rais- ed $7OOOO for the entertainment of visitors and expects that fully G0,000 visitors will be there during con-
 gross and exposition week. To shel ter the visitors the city is not going
 to depend upon the hotels and lodg ling houses. but has arranged for the building of tent city after the manner of the beach resorts. and promises to give everybody plenty to eat and a good place to sleep.
 Congress has also appropriated S30,0OO to help along the big eXposi tion at Albuquerque.
 The Santa Fe is cooperating very
 extensively with the Albuquerque ipeople in arranging a program for the convenience of the guests of that
 city and their pleasurable entertain ment To begin with cheap eXcur- sion rates will be made 10 Albu querque and from that city there will be many special excursions run to points of interest all over New Mexico and old Mexico and to the Grand Canyon and the Salt River valley in Arizona. The excursion rate from Phoenix to Albuquerque and re- turn will be S23.45. The tickets will be on sale Sept 24 to Oct :, final limit Oct 3l. Excursion tickets will be sold from Albuquerque to Phoenix Oct 3 to Oct. 10. final limit Oct. 21. A special representative of the Santa Fe by the name of Wilson will tour Arizona for the purpose of arousing interest in the big Albu- querque events, encouraging attend ance at the exposition and more par ticularIy to enthuse the Arizona peo- pIe with the idea of sending a good exhibit to the exhibition. This county has already taken preliminary steps to that end and the three boards of trade in Phoenix, Tempe and Mesa are working together to- make fine
