those ConQuistadores, but their
greatness was that OF their age and
not of the Goth century. The idea of
greatness and glory of that age Is
ropugnant to the higher civilization
of his age but Spain and all Spanish

Good Fruit Prospects.

The outlook for apples, pears and
cherries is very promising this year,
Notwithstanding the fact some OF
the orchards have been slightly
visited by frosts. So far no great
damage has been done, which may
be accounted for by the fact that
the continued cold weather held the
orchard bloom back enough to give
the required protection. A good
fruit crop is in order for Josephine
county this year and If it is realized
it will be of timely benefit to many
growers.

Failing to coerce the Governor and
Council the House named commits
sion headed by Rivera to proceed to
Washington to lay their grievances
before the President and Congress.
AS the President had been In Porto
Rico and had kept tab on these gen.
tlemen, he was not taken unawares,
and Rivera and his commission re-
ceiyed pretty severe snub. The
President pointedly told them that
the islanders had not shown them
selves very capable OF self-govern-
ment when for pique they would
paralyze the administration by refus-
ing appropriations. This statement
was In answer to the demand of
Rivera for absolute Independence
under American protection, Of
course.
Those who demand independence
for Porto Rico and the Philippines
know little OF the character Of the
Spanish demagogue. No greater
calamity could come to the people
than to turn them loose to be the
prey Of these men OF depraved am
bition
1t is a significant fact, one OF
which our statesmen will do well to
take notice, that the laborlng men of
Porto Rico are beginning to realize
the benefits OF being under the
American government. They are or
ganlzed and are making a study of
the labor conditions in the United
States. They have seen that 1t is
educated labor that counts, and the
decree has gone forth that the mem
bers Of the Federation must educate
They are today receiving more than
double for their labor what they did
seven years ago. The standard Of
living among them has advanced ac-
cordingly.
No sooner had the Rivera commits
sion started for Washington than the
American Confederation of Labor
composed wholly of Porto Ricans,
sent the following cable to the Presi-
dent:
Taft, Washington. America
Confederation Of Labor assembled
resolved to oppose commission of
House of Delegates now In Washing
ton seeking more political powers,
that represent anti-Americanlsm
Unionist defeated legislation bene-
fitting welfare Of people, Change
In form of government would create
tyranny and mean hardships for
labor masses, destroying American
institutions. (Signed) Santiago
lglesias, President"
Advocates OF independence will do
well to ponder this. The laborlng
classes are five hundred per cent
better off than ever before, and in
finltely better off than In any Span
Ish Republic.

CITY COUNC|LMEN AGAIN READY
 F0R WORK
TO CONSIDER MANY IMPORTANT MATTERS IN SESSION
 THURSDAY
FIRST MEETING FOR A MONTH
FIRE HOUSE PLANS-RATLEOAD RIGHT OF WAY AND OTHER
 THINGS FOR DECISION

After a month of inactivity, during which time a considerable amount of work has piled up, it is expected that the city council will meet again, Thurs day night.
 Mayor Kinney and Counclmen Hig- don, Van Slyck and McNeil are in town and it is expected that Winthrop House will return from his vacation in the White Mountains early in the week, constituting quorum.
 Much work will be up for disposition at the next meeting as a number of matters which are now pending require the attention of the city fathers.
 The adoption of plans and specifea tions for the new fire house and water office building, to be erected on the city hall lot is matter which will probably be disposed of, in order that the con tract for this work can be let at once.
 The new chemical engine, ordered q month ago, should be here within the next few weeks and with no adequate place to store the machine, the fire house will be much needed when the fire wagon arrives.
 Action on the proposed franchise of the Gila Valley railroad, by which it desires to change the line between the passenger depot and the Old Dominion smelter, will also be brought up, in all probability, as the company is anxious to secure the much needed right of way.
 contract will also be let for the construction of cement gutter along the west side of Broad street, from Mesquite street to the St. Elmo saloon.
 Many other matters will probably come up before the council, including big grist of routine business. One of the busiest sessions in months will be the result.
