PHoENIx, ARIZONA. SEPT. 2, 1908
PRAISE FOR NEW MEXICO.

The sixteenth session of the nation al irrigation congress, has not yet been held but preparations for it are so far advanced that the success of it is assured. It is timely to begin eX- tending congratulations to the Duke City and to all of New Mexico on the capable manner in which the pre- liminaries have been attended to.
 Though the opinion is formed en- tirely by persual of the literature of the fair and congress and not from a personal visit to Albuquerque there can be no doubt that the ses- sion will be the largest and most spectacular in the whole history of the congress, perhaps the most fruit full of results It is equally certain that the combined congress and fair will be the most magnificent show ever given in a city no larger than Albuquerque.
 It has been undertaken on plan similar to that of the big national expositions and on a scale very much larger in proportion to the size of the cities where the big shows have been held. The wonder is that New Mex ico had the temerity to undertake so large contract. When the congress was located there less than a year ago. the world expected it would only be a big water meeting, but when Albuquerque got started the promoters would stop at nothing short of a worlds fair.
 All this is surprising only because of the limited resources of the city for so large an event, a city that lacked even the places necessary for the housing of the probable host of visitors, to say nothing of the cost of the big show. But the people from all over the territory went to work. The literature tells the read CT that all provisions have been made llle tlltL OA 6oNoNo N@AAe the show is getting bigger every day The biIlboards of the southwest are covered with paper, the mails arC filled with advertising, that too, of { character, geographically and editor ially criticized, that has never beer excelled by any similar project. Th' management seems to be confiden too. that the show will be a success financially.
 If all these things result as ex' pected the world will have to take it: hat off to Albuquerque and the othe New Mexico centers that have con tributed directly to the fair enterprise as setting a new record in the ex position line. Arizona has had som differences with New Mexico in tn past but they were political, not per sonal, nor were they in any instance prompted by jealousy. Arizona vii rejoice with New Mexico in the sue cess of her exposition as the bes possible evidence of the progressiv spirit of the southwest which know no such word as failure. And if tn big show does not serve as a finish ing argument that will bring Nev Mexico into the union at the earlies moment possible with congressiona machinery, The Republican is a poo prophet.

It Has Already Entered One End ot
 the Famous Grove.

Stockton, Cal, Sept. News comes from Murphy's, which is connected by wire with the Calaveras big trees hotel that a forest fire has got into grove of mammoth trees at the upper end of the drive near where the Mother of Forest stands, a monster Sequoia, 324 feet high and IS feet in circumference The famous trees named after noted men of history are below the point ot attack and the only hope for the mag nificent monsters of the forest is change in the wind. as the fire fighters are powerless to stop the flames. To get into the grove of big trees the fire had to cross a road leading to Gard ner's which it did tonight. There is little undergrowth in the grove and that may be the means of checking the fire but its sweep through the grove is greatly feared.

He wore rough clothes that smacked of the sea, and he was manifestly out of place in the spacious hall in which he found himself. He did not know what to do with his cap, and was stuffing it into his coat pocket when the other took it from him. The act was done quietly and naturally, and the awkward young fellow ap- tpreciated it. He understands" was his thought. Hell see me through all right"

Between a grand piano and a center table piled high with books was space for half dozen to walk abreast, yet he es- saved it with trepidatiOn. His heavy arms hung loosely at his sides. He did not know what to do with those arms and hands, and when, to his excited vision, one arm seemed lia- ble to brush against the books on the table, he lurched away like a frightened horse. barely missing the piano stool. He watched the easy walk of the other in front of him and for the first time realized that his walk was different from that of other men. He experienced a mo- mentary pang of shame that he should walk so uncouthly. The sweat burst through the skin of his fore head in tiny beads, and he paused and mopped his bronzed face with his handkerchief

As this was the first meet ing of it's kind ever held in the district it Is considered to have been exceptionally successful. From 100 to 200 people were in attendance, and the daily programme was carried out with an enthusiasm that must result in much good in awakening the teachers of the district anew to the responsibilities of their calling.

 The Birmingham mine operators are seeking labor here and are meeting with some success. Not a great many, how ever, have thus far availed themselves of the opportunity of securing employment.
