TIE
in town to the agricultural districts.
The motor has already effected Q
great change in that respect and Is
continuing to do SO. 1t gives bach
to the land nothing in the shape o.
manure. and thus indirectly tends tc
make cultivation little more ex
pensive than it used to be. In spite
of all this, there is no reason to be
lieve that agriculture is entering on
period of depression. On the con
trary, it is emerging steadily, from the
dullness that has characterized 1t fol
more than quarter of century. The
present disappointment arises only
from the extravagant hopes raised IL
the early part of the year. The
general record is one of steady i'm
provement; but whether prices go up
occasional bad season will always
have to be reckoned with. The pres
ent year, taking it altogether, has
been unfavorable to the cultivation o.
the soil. Yet it will be noticed tha'
there are very few farms to let, and
that land usually brings satisfactory
price in the market. For this we have
to thank mainly that great crowd o
wheat consumers which has arisen in
the east and created demand tha
the supply does no more than satisfy
at present and that is continually
growing. The sale of the farmers
produce, too, can be effected in a less
expensive manner, thanks to the mul
tiplications of auction marts, while
the telegraph and telephone enable
him to ascertain what demand there
is before he delivers his goods fol
sale, so that much of the uncertainty
that formerly prevailed is eliminated
Further there is continuously going
on an increase in the number of con
sumers and an improvement in the
standard of living. two influences
which in combination tend towards
the yielding of a greater return by
food products.

WEDDING planned
Miss Mary Hartman Soon to Be
Bride.
New York Society Expects Formal An
nouncement Of Engagement to
Robert w. GoeIet soon-Fath.
er's Death Spoiled Plans.

New York.-Although an engage
ment has not yet been formally an
nounced, no one in society will be at
all surprised II Miss Mary Hartman,
daughter of the late railroad magnate,
becomes the bride of Robert Walton
Goelet.
1t has been admitted by relatives of
Miss Hartman and of Mr.. Goelet that
had the financial wizard lived a few
weeks longer there would have been
an elaborate wedding in the hill top
castle at Arden. And now they admit
since decent interval has elapsed
after the burial of the master of Ar
den-that the wedding soon will oc-
cur anyhow, only 1t will be a quiet
wedding.
The original plans were that Miss
Hartman should become Mrs. Goelet
before the snow whitened the forests
of her fathers great estate. That meant
some time during October or early
November. Mr.. and Mrs. Hartman
and the other children of the family
were to have gone to the town house

his railroad mind had it.
His death. Of course, changed the
plans. or. rather. postponed them. But
the young peoples friends learn
the delay will not be long, and most
likely the honeymoon will be spent
as was originally planned.
All society has konwn, or "felt,"
rather, that young Mr.. Goelet and Miss
Hartman were engaged for quite a
while. Mr.. Goelet has been constant
in his devotion, and he and Miss Mary
have been very much together for
more than year, both here and
abroad.

TRAVELLING SPEED OF BIRDS
Their Flight Now Known to Be Much
Slower Than Has Been Gen
orally Supposed.

A writer on birds says: "If you
consult the usually accepted authori-
ties on the speed of birds in their
flight you are likely to be misled by
an exaggeration of from 100 to 300
per cent. This is because figures
have been given on hearsay, appear
ance and very superficial observation.
But recently American, English and
French observers have been compar-
ing notes, and are practically agreed,
after most careful calculation, on the
speed of the best-known birds. They
started with the carrier pigeon and
have made him a base of comparison.
He has heretofore been credited with
110 miles an hour, but it is now
agreed that he is entitled to SO. A
long distance, carefully conducted
test of 592 miles, from the Shetland
islands to London, showed that the
most rapid pigeons made 81 miles an
hour. On shorter distances none
made more than so miles. Because
frigate birds have been seen far from
land, and have been supposed not
to fly by night or to rest on the wa
ter, they have been credited with a
speed of from $50 to 200 miles an
hour. If they did fly at that speed
they would have to overcome an at
mospheric pressure of from 112 to
1870 pounds to the square foot of fly
ing surface. There is no certainty
that they fly more rapidly than pas
senger pigeon or that they do not fly
at night or do not sleep on the wa
ter. The swallow that is indeed q
rapid flyer, has been credited with
1S0 miles an hour. but he must be
cut down to 65 miles, and the martin
is five miles behind him, though au-
thorities have placed him ten ahead"

FUTURE OF PHOENIX
 IS VERY BRIGHT
Arizona Democrat

Arizona DemocraD
 John Ambrose made a remark the other day upoE the streets of Phoenix that should attract public attention
 There is not man in Phoenix. " said he, "who realizes the future be- before this town. First we have nor, water in the Salt River Valley than there is in southern California; sec ond, we are going to have the finest market for agricultural products 9i any town in the west, or southwest. This is evidenced by the gold strike in the Salome country. I predict that in a few years Phoenix will be in the center of the largest and rIch- est mining district in the world"
 Mir. Ambrose is 2 mining man of experience; he knows the country and he has abiding faith in it.. However, he is not particularly impressed with the Salome strike and thinks that it is only a pocket. lie bases his belief in the country on a lower grade ore and plenty of it
 That the Final country and the western country cCmDOse Q magnift' cent mining region there is little doubt. but the Democrat goes farther and insists that, the Wiakenburg country and the Cave Creek country wlll also develop into a rich country and that the mining district will get much nearer to Phoenix than the people are now thinking about.
 Be that as it may, there is no other valley in the world where irrigatins farming will be done on a greater scale than in the Salt River valley. There will be electric cars running from Peoria to Mesa, from mountain to mountain, and along these lines will be some of the most beautiful homes in America. h addition to this. Phoenix will have a mountain resort of its own, at Fossil Creek, or scple other good place in the noun tains where the people can get away from the heat of the summer, and the people who live here now car safely count on population in the Salt River valley of 100000 people that means that property values will go three times higher.

The recent order from Washington relating to territorial officials visit ing the national capital when con- gress is In session in the interest of statehood may be more significant than a mere rebuke to the pie-counter brigade. It may mean that the Taft admin 'stration has turned a cold shoulder to the aspirations of the people of Arizona and New Mexico to become self-governing.

DEMOCRACY IS STRENGTHENED.

Republican babble about Speaker Cannon having Champ Clarl's head fin chancery," in the lingo of the prize ring. is moonshine. and very pale moonshine at that says the St Louis Republic.
 Mfr. Speakers refusal to consult the minority leader about minority ap- pointments to House committees in reality makes the minority leader a more formidable figure in the house than he has been since Speaker Reed began the treacherous pradice Of asking the advice of the Democratic nominee for Speaker about such ap, pointments.
 Is was all intended to compromise on the Speakers usurpations of the powers of the house. to weaken stern opposition by the offer of favors and to avoid full responsibility for the vicious organization by which the House was gagged.
 As long as the Speaker yields the power of making the committees he should be held to a strict responsi- bility for the makeup and member ship of the committees through which the house transacts it's business. He win, in any event, pack them to his pleasure with the majority members. The event is rare in which the minor. ity of them have any higher privilege than to be voted down by the major fly, who reflect the Speakers views.
 t is not the business of the minor. ity leader to relieve the Speaker Of any portion of his responsibility. When the Speaker goes to the ex, treme of asking the minority leader to name all the minority committee members there is always the danger of an amicabIe understanding between two bosses to expedite the dictator ship of the more powerful line.
 Mr. Clark will prove the most pow. erful minority leader the house has had for many a year if he HatIy re fuses to share the Speakers respon sibility for the committees. As he himself has said. the Democratic minority of the house will become a more formidable fighting body than it has been in nearly twenty years when it is entirely relieved of all share in that responsibility.
 Leaders in Congress are not made by appointment or election. They at tain leadership by gaining the conf dence Of their party on the Tlool through experience, sagaeity and fl delity.
