PRESIDENT TAFT, during the clos ing minutes of the banquet in his honor at Albuquerque, rebuked New Mexico speakers who made rather testy remarks concerning statehood. They were the only ones to express a doubt whether the Re publican party is really going to grant statehood despite earnest declarations of the president in his speech of the afternoon to the thousands of New Mexicans. Mir. Taft said to the "doubting Toms" of our sister territory who evi dently suspected his sincerity and good will that they had no reason whatever for their insinuation.

IN the death of Colonel Maxmil- lian Frost, the veteran and widely known Santa Fe editor, last week, the great southwest lost one of it's most notable characters. Although for eight years he was blind and totally parlyzed his brain being keener than ever he continued in harness as the dictator of the edi torial policy of the Santa Fe Daily New Mexican and it's kindred pub lications until last December. He was also leader of the Republican party in New Mexico, and for three times in succession was instrument tai in electing Bull" Andrews to congress. On account of his power in politics he was called the Matt Quay of New Mexico," and the "blind boss of New Mexico" He was the author of the "California Column" and a dozen other books on the history of the southwest. It is safe to say that Colonel Frost worked harder to boost the resourc- es of New Mexico than any other person. He was buried with the highest Masonic honors. He was thirty third degree Mason. May his soul rest in peace in the great beyond.

Write letters to the members of congress from your old home state and make your appeal for statehood as forcible as pos eible.

"All eyes are now on Arizona; l have never found eastern people taking such an interest in the re- sources, the advantages and the future of this territory" declared Dwight B. Heard, who returned to Phoenix a few days since with A. L. Bartlett of Chicago. With Mrs. Heard he spent the early summer at Castiri, Maine, and the latter part at the Bartlett summer home at Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. Heard made business trips to New
 York. Philadelphia and Washing ton, and attended the banquet given President Taft in Chicago. Heard
 tried to induce the president to spend more time in Arizona on his tour. Heard is more optimistic than ever about the future of the Salt River valley, and says that hundreds of thousands of eastern
 dollars will pour into this territory
 to develop it's great resources. Greatest interest throughout the east centers in the Salt River valley.

More Land for Enty.

Washington, D. C.-The secre- tary of the interior has announce ed that 159.OOO acres. formally withdrawn from the Salt River pro- ject, will be opened for settlement on January 6 and for entry on February 5; also $40 acres from the Yuma project will be open at the same time.
 The land referred to as under the Salt River project lies in two general bodies. A part of it is un- der the Highland canal and in that vicinity, and the rest of it and the greatest bulk, is in what is known as Paradise valley. which is said to be by experts as fine as any land in the world. Water is easily ob- tained there from wells as it is found at no very great depth be- low the surface and it is believed that artesian water may be deyel oped.
 Though the land under the High land belonged to the Roosevelt project, it lies outside the project but a private arrangement has beer made by which the water supply for that region will be supp lement ed by supply from the reservoir Republican.

FIFTH ARIZONA FAIR


 missioners this year is Hugh Camp. bell, real sheep herder, has in spired the sheep growers to more than usual enthusiasm and the superintendent of the sheep and goat department, John Hennessy of Flagstaff, says he expects to make a better showing this year than ever before. J. C. Muders- bach of Salt River valley is looking after the sheep department for the Salt River valley and exhibits are promised of at least two breeds that have not been shown before, Cots wolds and Dorset Horns.
 The poultry and pet stock de partment under c. B. Wood has always been a fine success. This year it will be bigger than ever and will include bench show. Attract i've prizes will be offered for sixty two breeds of domestic dogs and fourteen breeds of foreign dogs. Most people do not know there are so many breeds in the world. But there are lot of dogs in the coun- try and the bench show is to be made feature A building for it will be erected alongside of the poultry buildings. There will also be display of ostriches in a pen to be constructed between the two poultry buildings, so the poultry and pet stock department this year will be one of the real sights of the fair. Concerning the chickens and ducks and geese, everybody knows that is always a fine display. There are two entire buildings de- voted to them and better show is expected this year than ever.
 The dairy department this year is also to be resurrected from it's former inconspicuous place and made worth while. For the first time, cash prizes are to be offered for butter and cheese. There will also be prizes for the best speci- mems of milk and cream.
 The woman's department has al- ways been a big feature of the ex- hibition hall. The superintendent, Mrs. J. H. McClintock. will be ready to receive entries at her home next Monday. though the exhibits will not be received until a week prior to the fair when quarters for that purpose will be opened in the Hotel Adams.
 The educational department un- der Kirk T. Moore, territorial su- perintendent, will be handled sim ilarly to former methods, but of course there IS always the ambi- tion for Improvement, and it has never been a department that Ari- zona need be ashamed of, having been a good advertisement of the schools every year.
 The agricultural department will be under Professor Wilson of the experimental station and he pro. poses to make it bigger and better than ever before. It is only fair to say that heretofore the agricul tural exhibits from Cochise. Apa- che, Yavapai and other mountain counties have been quite credible, when the agricultural conditions are considered. Every county pro- duces something credible and this fact is noted by visitors to the fair.
