C. & N. w. Decline.

The decline in Northwestern could not
be attributed to the switchmen's strike
because that outbreak involves all the
railroads In the northwest, and if it had
any stock market effect it was only in
preventing the stocks of these railroads
from moving in sympathy with the rest
of the market
If the temper of the stock market COM
munity had not undergone an overnight
change. the default on the first lien five
percent bonds of the Chicago subway
might have had more unpleasant conse-
quenoes than it did. Although the de-
fult In interest had been more or less
expected and presumably discounted, Chi
cago Subway stock fell heavily on the
outside market this morning.
Reorganization will follow this default
and perhaps some features of the COM
pany's vicissitudinous story will be ex-
planned.
For the day. however, the evil thereof
was In Wall streets mind quite sufficient
and the stock exchange took no account
of what was going on on the curb.

Ahead of California.

MT. Tsuneo Tokumi, the chief irri- gation and hydraulic engineer of the government of Japan for the island of Formosa, is making tour of the world for the purpose of inspecting irrigation systems. After looking over California he has just expressed his wonder and delight at what he saw there He is now visiting this valley and We believe will find here a country and an irrigation system that will astonish him.
 Familiar as our own people are with what this valley has to exhibit, the lack of intimate acquaintance with irrigated districts elsewhere leaves many of them deficient of full appreciation of the present and fu- ture of this region. Correct conclu- sions are best reached by compari- son usually.
 Comparing the Salt River valley with Southern California, facts pre-
  overlooked. Southern California that is, the country lying between the Tehachapi mountains and San Diego-has the thriving cities of Los Angeles. Pasadena, San Bernar- dino. Riverside, Redlands, Pomona. Ontario, Covina and Santa Ana, ex- cluding the beach cities from con- sideration. It is really a wonderful region. It is an agricultural country purely and dependent upon irrigation And yet the whole region mentioned has not as much land under irriga- tion as we shall have here in the Salt river valley in one body when the Roosevelt reservoir is completed a year hence.
 When it is remembered that in both soil and climate this valley is superior to Southern California; that more acreage will be under irrigation here within two years than in all the section of California referred to and that the wealth created there by ir- rigation runs into hundreds of mill lions, a considerable step will have been taken toward comprehending somewhat of the future of the valley of which Phoenix is the commercial capital.

Afterthouqht by Reyes.

General Bernardo Reyes has issued a statement in which he says that he is not a candidate for the vice presi- dency of Mexico, and never was. In reaching this conclusion the general has been 'un poco tarde." Presi- dent Diaz and Vice-President Corral reached the same decision concerning him several weeks ago. But in or der to emphasize tn. ract that Reyes was not a candidate, the Mexican government had to pry the bewhis- kered governor out of the executive chair at Monterey. had to chase him into the mountains and surround club or imprison numerous Reyes supporters in various sections of the republic. It is not surprising that the general decided that leadership of the opposition to Diaz involved not only too much strenuosity. but too much physical risk as well.
 So long as Porfirio Diaz lives he will be the dictator of Mexico, and ambi- tious gentlemen who look longingly upon the presidential chair must stay in the brush. To be sure, the rivalry of Reyes and Corral for the vice presidency was nominally not con- nected with opposition to Diaz. But there is a general supposition that the great statesman now at the head of the Mexican government will not live to see the end of the term for which he is to be elected this fall; consequently the e-presidency is looked upon as a certain stepping stone to the presidency. Corral. however, has been chosen by the master for the succession-and Cor ral it will be while Diaz lives. Af- ter he passes away Mexican ob- servers shrug their shoulders and say: "Quien sabe."

enthusiasm is the news that a 220-
pound buck Indian on the Umatilla
reservation, with a five syllable name,
and a Carlisle reputation, is desirous
of once more chasing the pigskin
spheroid. In fact so enthusiastic has
he become that he has sent word in

out a football so that he can prac-
tice up a bit.

Numerous inquiries are being made

that enthusiasm is on the wane

stantly set off in an adjoining build
ing, where watchmen are constantly
on guard. And to make sure that this
electrical apparatus is working proper
ly there is ''buzzer" which goes off
every Is minutes inside the vault. If
the warning apparatus is not working
properly this buzzer will be thrown
out of commission and the watchmen
will be Immediately notified.
Cannot Tamper with Cables.
But what if the cables connecting
the vault with the watchmen's room
should be cut?' Mr.. Eldridge was
asked. The reply was that any tam
pering with the cable would have the
same effect upon the alarm system as
if the vault itself had been attacked.
This enormous vault, whose roof is
on level with the pavement, has a
perfect system of ventilation by great
driving and suction fans, which are
turned on when the vault is opened,
so that the air is fresh and cool at all
times. 1t is lighted by electricity, the
lighting plug being put in place only
after the vault door is opened.
One of the marvels of the vault is
the vault door, complicated mass of
gray steel weighing seven tons, but so
wonderfully balanced on ball-bearing
hinges that it can be opened without
effort 1t has four combinations, and
no one man in the employ of the gov
eminent knows them. Two men know
two of them, and two others the re
naming two, so that in order to I'M
lock the money chamber at least two
persons must be present. The door
is, of course, equipped with the time
1Talx Dir hi !,
all first-class safes. But even entrance
through the vault door sets off the
alarm in the watchmen's room 1t is
necessary, therefore, to supply the
watchmen's department with a SEIZED
ule showing at what hour the vault
will be opened and at what hour it
will be closed. The vault, according
to the schedule, must not be opened
before 8:45 in the morning, and it
must be closed before five every night.
OId-Fashioned Elevator.
The only way to reach the vault is
by way of a tiny hydraulic elevator,
which is protected by an iron door,
ocening almost at the elbow of the
chief of the division of issues, who
keeps the key in his desk. This ele-
vator car was barely large enough to
carry Mr.. Eldridge, the newspaper
man, and photographer down to the
vault. 1t is operated by the old-fash-
toned rope-pulling device and is the
most prosaic road to millions imagin-
able.

the photograph from which we got

A Pilgrim Rug Party.

A pilgrim rug party is the very
latest fad-shades of our grandmoth-
ers, Do you suppose under this dis
guise they would recognize the old
rag carpets which adorned every
room? Time has certainly turned
backward in its flight and the older
the fashion the newer, more up to date
it seems to be. The "hit-and-miss
style of rug may somewhat resemble
the old rag carpet, but the exquisitely
woven ones of blue and white, green
and white and green and pink are
such artistic things that their relation
ship to the plebeian rag carpet is re-
mote, save in the method of prepar-
are used, and as in the olden day, a
pound and half ball weaves into a
rug of a square yard in size Well,
now for the party. 1t was for bride
elect, and the cards said "thimbles,'
so we were prepared to sew. We
found piles of dark blue denim strips
cut into about an inch wide. These
were sewed together and wound into
a hard ball. Then there was a pile of
white strips-before US was a COM
pleted rug. By the time refreshments
were served the rags were sewed. The
cost of weaving is very small. The
bride-elect was delighted with this
new fashioned shower.
