Fire Engines for Elk City.

A movement was started this week
looking to providing Elk City with pro-
lection from fire, in the way of small
chemical engines on carts. M. H.
Perry, Of the meat firm of Perry Bros,
has been in correspondence with fire
extinguisher manufacturing firm in
New York, and has found that engines
of 5O-gal. capacity will be laid down at
Sites for S185, or, approximately 5000
in Elk City. 1t is advertised that this
class of engines extinguish 80 per cent
of the fires in the cities in the United
States where they are used. 1t is
figured that Elk City could use about
four such engines.
Perry Bros. have ordered an engine
for their individual use.

Old Timers Say There's
Abundance of Water.
IMPROVEMENTS UNDER WAY
Much Money Being Spent to
Increase the Harvest.

Placer mining in central Idaho? Well
we should say yes-never a season like
this one before; all the water the most
ardent worker in the business could
wish for. All the streams are running
full Of water for the mines that are
fed from bitches, while the melting
snow in the hills and the frequent
heavy showers Of rain furnish a con-
stant supply Of water to those placers
that are in the draws on the hillside
and, on account Of crude equipment, can
be worked only for a short period in
the spring. Old reliable placer miners
say this years run win be longer than
last years, which was an unusually
long season. 4 ride In the hills east Of
town q week ago convinced the writer
there was still enough snow on the
north and west slopes TO make water
for several weeks yet. and the melting
snow, supplemented by the frequent
rains, assures The miner all the water
that could be- desired.

San Francisco, CaIs. Oct. 13.-Toast commenced by President Taft and which will be drunk all over the world at the hour when the Portoia festival opens here next Tuesday has been re- ceived Tby the committee in charge of the eel bratfon. f-s
 The toast follows e..Sinee Portola looked through the Golden Gate on the descending side, Sdn Francisco has twice become the imperial city of the Pacific; first by the energy of a pio- neer race. and steady growth, into the western metropolis: second. after com plete destruction by the greedy flames and in the face of insurmountable ob- stacles, by regeneration so rapid and complete as to be the wonder of the world. May her future growth be as remarkable as her past. and may her civic righteousness and the individual happiness of her citizens keep pace with it.
 Arrangements have been made for 1 drinking this toast in all foreign coun- tries where Americans gather. and by official and civic organizations throughout the United States. With the drinking of the toast. the school children of the country will arise and cheer the rebuilt city. Everywhere the drinking of the toast and the cheering of the children will be at times to agree with the hour of the opening of the festival which begins at noon. Pa cific time, oct. 19.

you will be made a state. The con- stitution is for the purpose of laying down fundamental limitations upon your legislators and your executives. Now, if you think that in that consti- tutionaI convention you ought to lay down all the limitations that are ordinarily included fin a statute. you are going to make a great mistake.
 The greatest constitution that was ever made is the constitution of the United States. and you can go through that in a very short time. You take the last constitution that was made it's the constitution of Oklahoma and it's a geological garden of cranks. don't mean to say that it hasn't good ideas in it-it has; but the idea of tying down a legislature which is to experiment, so to speak, with the laws that are to be. adapted to a new terri tory with long, discourse. imposing all sorts of limitations. is a mistake which you ought to profit by.
 T want to congratulate you on hav- ing room enough in this territory to grow. Applause and laughter.) It's about four times the size of Ohio, and Ohio is fairly large state. Of course there is a good deal of soil out here l that we wouldn't. at first sight, value in Ohio Qaughter). but by your energy and by the application of modern 1 methods of agriculture you seem to be reducing it to a condition where it brings forth wonderful crops and en- riches those who devote their attention | to its culture. Then. the governor tells
 me that you have got another industry you can't call it agriculture or horti- culture-I mean the birth and bringing up of osttiches. I understand that i this is the only state in which
 ostriches think 1t worth while not to
 pursue race suicide (applause and
 laughter), and the result is that there 1 is an industry-to call it by a general
 term-that Is really profitable and that
 enables you to compete with South
 Africa. Then the alfalfa fields. the i fruit, and all the other products which you are able to bring forth. make your | future one which need not assure you | is most promising one.
 But, as I said in the beginning, your assumption of statehood throws upon yod a responsibility that will not
 enable you thereafter to- charge it all | up to the federal government, When
 you get into difficulty out here and have bad officials. or your legislature | gets you into debt in a county. or a state. or a city, you can't say it's all in | Washington because Washington doesn't understand us. Then the fault
 will be on your own head. I have no
 doubt that you will stumble and fall

 Citizens of Prescott.

Prescott. Oct. 13.-(SpeciaD- dent Taft and party arrived at 5:55 and were immediately taken to the platform. In calling the meeting to order. Hon. Robert F.. Morrison. chair man. stated that he had some Hassay- ampa water which he wished the president to drink. The president drank and this brought forth pro- longed cheering from the crowd.
 Mayor Goldwater in welcoming the president spoke of the quality of Ari- zona's citizenship as the peer of any audience that has greeted the presi- dent on the journey. The pre<ient responded in stating that he believed Arizona would soon become a state and that he had even observed the de- sire for statehood. out of the mouths of babies and sucklings. He could not promise statehood as he was not the legislature of this government, but he could only prophecy. and he spoke of the solemn duty of citizenship in con nection with the framing of a consti- tuition and laid particular stress upon the kind of a constitution they should have, free from all radical ideas, and that we should trust and leave some thing to the state legislature to insert The best men should be elected to frame a constitution.
 From the platform the president was driven to the Masonic temple where he registered as a Mason and was presented with a gold nugget from the Rich Hill district, upon one side of which was engraved Square and Compass.r On the reverse was engraved. Presented by Atzlan Lodge No. 1 to President w. H. Taft"
