At the fair grounds yesterday after
noon everything was perfect chaos
and there did not seem to be a solitary
branch of the institution that was in
full running order except the office of
Secretary w. M. Clark, who was buster
than a housewife on moving day, with
all sorts of business on his hands ev-
cry minute. His office was crowded
with people. They were men and wom-
en-, old and young, some coming to see
about space for exhibits, others to see
if they could not have a little more
room than they had, or a different To-
cation, or to complain about some
trivial thing that looked to them as big
as mountain.
Mr.. Clark did not lose his complac-
ent demeanor and a suspicion of a
smile hung close to the surface amid
all the confusion. He did not get rat
tied" and while he had a hard time
listening to what was being said to
him, on account of the hum of a dozen
voices at once in a small room crowded
with folks and furniture, and in try
ing to carry on several conversations
at once, he had been thru the same ex-
perience before. 1t would take a
| stenographer with a dozen pair of
hands to get down all the things that
We're being said to him, but he did not
seem to need a, dozen pair of ears.
| Once in while he took a little time
| for a diversion in the way of a single,
| lone conversation as a relief from the
dozen variety This was when he went
to the telephone and listened to some
body over the wire. This was to him

partiZans for partiZan purposes, ana IN
no sense do they represent the sober,
intelligent Judgment of the men MAX
ing them.
Every Man His Own Seer.
Without starting an argument. 1t
ought to be possible to classify certain
states as fairly certain to give their
electoral votes either to Taft or to
Bryan, and certain others as being In
the debatable column, with leanlngs
one way or the other. The task, how
ever, is not without it's difficulties, for
not only do wel-informed men dis
agree regarding the weight of certain
essentials in the making up of table,
but the situation itself, assuming the
table to be absolutely correct at the
time it is made, may change, almost
overnight. The campaign is yet very
young, aud that is another difficulty
in the way of an estimate. About all
that can be done at this time then,
will be to indicate the general trend
of the campaign, keeping in mind the
fact that the issues which are to give
the victory to one side or the other
have possibly not been formulated,
the people thus far manifesting very
little interest in what is going on.
1t Looks Like This.
An honest effort to classify the rea-
sonably certain Taft and Bryan states
gives the following result:

Morrisey Gives Out Statement
The statement was given out by
President Morrisey of the trainmen late
last night. Mr.. Morrisey refused to
discuss the move or the Significance
Of the Formulation of railroad organi-
cation that might have weight on both
political and legislative purposes.
Railroad presidents also were re-
ticent in discussing the matter But 1t
was admitted that the formation of u
national RAILROAD mems organization
long has been advocated by prominent
railroad officials. Within the last few
months railroad mems protective asso-
Citations have been organized in Ne
braska, Iowa, and several western
states with the purpose of working for
railroad legislation and com batting re-

The purpose of the organizations was
primarily to further the campaign of
education thru which the railroads of
the country hope to gain popular fav-
or and acquiescence in general adj
vance in freight rates:
Comes as Logical Result.
Il do not know just what was done
this afternoon further than that an
organization was effected" said l.. c..
Fritch, assistant to President Harahan
of the Illinois Central, last night. The
move is a logical result of the forma-
ton of state associations of railroad
mems protective organizations.
Il do not regard 1t as a political
move but as a widespread effort to
band railroad men together to protect
selves from radical and unjust legisla-
ton.
THE main purpose, | believe, is to
carry forward the campaign of educa-
show the people that a general advance
in rates is just and reasonable. 1t is a
case of self preservation and the trou-
bic thru which the railroads have
passed has taught railroad men that
they must have a powerful organiza-
ton to protect The roads upon which
they are dependent

In the building where the fancy
work, home made rugs, and school pro-
ducts will be shown practically nothing
was in order. Everybody was busy
putting things in place. While one man
hammered away getting some of the
school chidren's designs in place. on
the walls an elderly man with a long
gray beard was tuning a piano about
fifteen feet away. He had plenty of
competition in his noise but after all
the kind he sounded was about the
pleasantest For there is going to be
music in the fancy work building to
go along with the painted plates and
embroidery. A local firm has placed a
piano with a. mechanical player in this
building to issue sweet harmony.
The fruit and preserves building will
also have music of a like sort, there
being two pianos there. This building
had no semblance of readiness yester-
day, probably half the space being talk
en- up by plates of apples, grapes, and
other fruit. and jars and glasses of
preserved fruits. a few nice looking
pomegranates were shown, remindful
of the ancient days when this product
was a royal delicacy.

DON'T
BLAME HER

For she cannot help it. Women are
often cross, irritable, hysteric, and
declare they are driven to distrac-
ton at the slightest provocation.
Men cannot understand why this
should be so. To them it is mys-
terry because in nine times out Of
ten this condition is caused by
serious feminine arrangement.
A remedy is necessary which acts
directly upon the organs afflicted, re-
storing a healthy normal condition to
the feminine system, which will
quickly dispel all hysterical, nervous
and irritable conditions. Such is

Three Defv cIassific alton.

Three of the states are apparently
so uncertain that is seems foolish at
this time to put them into anything
but a strictly doubtful column. These
states are New York with 80 electoral
votes, Indiana with Is, and Nebraska
with S.
1t may be necessary to reconstruct
these tables before the end of the
month when later reports come in.
Today, however, the best information
that is available suggests that the
states stand as is here outlined

Taft, and democrats that they ought
to be put down for Bryan. AS mat

thus far to be certainly for either,

them. Perhaps a fair a way as any to

MUSIC TEACHER SURPRISED

The juvenile musical pupils of Miss
Mary Holiday. on Thursday last ar
ranged a delightful surprise for their
teacher at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
w. H. Allen.
The young lady was invited there
ostensibily to spend the day, entirely
innocent of the intention of the young
folks. Soon after the dinner was serv-
ed, they came trooping in laden with
flowers and gifts, which they shower
ed upon Miss Holiday.
The pupils provided games and 9TH
er amusements for the remainder of
the afternoon, and also served delight
full refreshments. They proved charm
ing little entertainers. One of the
amusements INDUCED in during the
afternoon and which proved interest
ing, was that of four of the smallest
pupils who gathered about their teach
er seated in a chair, and all breathing
in unison raised her about five feet,
eaching lifting by means of the fore
finger on either hand.

MESA
THE ROCKEFELLER CRAZE.
The Desire to Initiate the Man of

Struck Town.

Mesa is in the throes of a craze
which makes the merry widow hat
fad look about like quiet Monday
afternoon game of croquet compared
TO Yale-Haryard football game Of
fering one excuse and another, much
in the same manner that the Young
American chews tobacco to keep his
milk teeth white do these men of Mesa
shave their heads to initiate the man
of money and standard oil fame.
While the incident has gone down
in history, as far as news is concerned.
yet 1t is pretty generally understood
that c. Fred Bracket of the Shattuck-
Nimmo Warehouse company is the re-
sponsible party who renewed that an
cient and barbarous mode of adjoining
the dome of thought by surrepticously
purloining therefrom all signs of hir-
suite alornment. However, be that as
it may, he is shaven as to the head
and he is one of the pioneers.
]. L. Waring who uses kerosine and
does other things in a manner which
would indicate that he has an under
standing with the magnate, followed
the shaver head idea, and was imme-
diately drawn down deep into the
whirlpool of the craze. However Mr..
Waring insists that he performed this
act of violence on his otherwise beaut
lfuI appearance to save the few mes
quite hair roots which semi occasion
ally sent forth apologies for their ex-
lstence IN very feeble attempt to
show that they were. alive.

MEETING OF LIBRARY ASSOClA
TON

At meeting of the directors of the
Mesa Library association here Thurs
day afternoon, the ACCESSIBILITY of keep
ing the reading room of the library

pose of exchanging books only.
The reading room will remain open
during the usual hours. According to
the new change, books will be allowed
to be taken out for the months of
July and August from TO II a. m,
and an Wednesdays and Saturdays
from to 3 p. m.
Other business relating to the fl
nances of the library was disposed of.

that books can only be exchanged
through the Librarian, Miss Kirksey.
Seven new volumes of American clas-
sizes were recently donated to the Ii
brary by o. S. Stewart. The works

IMPERIAL CANTALOUPES.
Shipments Now Being Made at the
Rate of a 100 Cars Per Day.

l. C. Hanna, field manager for
Crutchfield and Voolfolk Of Pittsburg,
the commission merchants. who will
handle most of the valley output of
cantaloupes this year. returned yester-
day morning from I'll Centre in the
Imperial valley where he has been for
the past few weeks looking after the
interests of his firm.
Mr. Hanna reports that since he has
been in the valley, shipments have
been made at the rate of from so to
100 car loads per day. The valley this
year has in cantaloupes an acreage Of
nearly 5000 and it is busy time with
the growers. Considerable difficulty
IS being experienced at the present
time in shipping. The facilities are
sadly lacking. Enough cars are on
hand but the means for loading and
handling them are insufficient. The
ice question. too, is a serious one and
help-is not as plentiful is it might be
Taking every thing into consideration,
however, the growers are taking care
of a splendid crop and will make mon
ey on it. Mr.. Hanna's son, Frank, who
accompanied him to Imperial remain
ed there.
Asked when shipping from this To-
cality would commence, Mr.. Hanna
replied that as vet he has had no op-
portunity to look over the crop here in
the valley since mis- return and until
he can do that, it will be impossible
for him to make a statement of any
accuracy.
