CHAPTER lv.-continued.

Now I've been calling the place
where they had the races and so on
a field. Well, twa'n't really a field, but
Just part of the course where they had
trotting matches on cattle show days.
There vas a fence IN each side of it
and across the ends Of the section
they was using there was ropes
stretched. Back of the fences was the
crowd on foot, and back of the ropes
was more of 'em, but behind these
ropes likewise was lots of horses and
wagons and ~carry-alls and such. Every
wagon was piled full of people, and
amongst 'em / could see the Barry
coach, with the four gray steppers
prancing up and down in front of it
and old Commodore Barry and his son
on the front seat, with the women
folks behind.
Well, when that pig started he
made a straight course for the lower
end of the field, but the sight of the
horses and all scared him, l guess, and
he jibed and back he come again. Half
a dozen of the pig-chasers-them that
was nearest to him when he come
about-ran into each other and piled
up in a heap, squirming like an eel
pot. They got up in a jiffy m

that was coming back on the second
lap.

three laps round that course he was

Don't forget your poor friends.
 Don't forget the cost mark on pres- ents.
 Don't let Christmas giving deteriorate into a trade.
 Don't try to pay debts or return ob- legations in your Christmas giving.
 Don't send Christmas greetings un- less you really mean what you send.
 Don't give a wooden-legged man a pair of slippers-one is quite enough
 Don't smoke the cigars you get as Christmas presents. There are easier ways of committing suicide.
 Don't visit your newly-married friends-unless they keep servant The first Christmas pudding may be a deadly affair.
 Don't be surprised if the postman smiles sweetly to you today; or if the ticket collector is more polite than usu- al; or if the porter shuts your carriage door gently-that's a way they have at this time of the year.

OVER HALF SUBSCRIBED
 FOR COPPER STAKE
J. c. Adams is Asked to Retain His
 Position On Fair Commission

Over one-half of the total amount or the Copper Stake was subscribed at the banquet given by J. C. Adams to the subscribers Monday night Every man present either repeated his for mer subscription or else increased it. As the banquet did not break up till early yesterday morning it was im- possible to report the latter part or 1t in yesterdays raper
 It was announced yesterday that J.. C. Adams had rendered his resignation as a member of the territorial fair commission to the governor. When this announcement was made at the banquet a motion was made and car ried unanimously asking Mir. Adams to withdraw his resigna tion and request ing Governor Sloan not to accent it. Governor Sloan then stated that the resignation mad been made without any intimation from the office Of he chief executive of the territory, and that he would be glad to ses Mir. Adams continue. in that. position. The latter, however, was firm in his deter imitation to remain off the commission and expressed his. bel:ef that another man could easily be found to fill his place. Those present did not seem to think that itswas quite so. easy to find a man who will devote the time and energy and judgment to the place that Adams has in the past five years. and thus far no man has been spoken of whose qualifications would seem to fit him for the position
 During the latter part of the evening toast was proposed and drank to b. C. Jacklin, president of the Utah Cop per company and a heavy subscriber to the Copper Stake, and to Charles NJ McNeill. of the Ray Consolidated. also a warm friend of the fair and a subscriber. These two men are doing more toward developing the mineral resources Of Arizona than any other two individuals Jacklin is the head of the Utah Copper company which is about to be amalgamated with the other big concerns of the country He visits Phoenix several times a year. but his coming is not preceded by a brass band. While he has always avoided notice where he can, he is friend of the territory and of terri torial institutions. McKenna and Jack lin are building up Ray and Winkel- man so that from few buildings in these towns now they will probably develop to towns of 5000 each within a year or two Jacklin. with his process for converting low grade ore, has be- come one of the most prominent fig ures in the copper industry and an empire builder. with that empire at the back door of Phoenix. Colonel Dun ham. owner of the Hercules mine in the Central Ray district, is a friend of MT. Jacklin. and at the banquet took the liberty of putting sJacklins name down at the tail end of the list for s250. Durham placed his own name at the head of the list in order that the order of last year might be reversed. The colonel said that last year he was the final subscriber toe the Copper Stake and Jacklin the first. -The first | shall be last" he said. and made it so.

RECLAMATION SERVICE
 SOME INTERESTING FACTS
What Has Been Accomplished In Six
 Years.
By Walter J. Ballard.

After personal inspection. during the past few months, of the principal working projects of the reclamation service, the secretary of the interior speaks highly in his just published report for 1909 of the work done by the service in recent years. and sum- marizes the great results of the six fiscal years, 1904 to 1909. as being: Number of farms for which

The secretary says. The reciaiha- ton service has been subjected to much unjust and to some just crit- cism. The work in the earlier stages of it's existence, being of pioneer or experimental nature. room was ieft for the imagination of the unfair or uniformed critic. Generally speak ing. the character of construction or dams. gates, drops. canals. etc. has been of d high type of modern prac- tis al utility.
 Upon several of the projects the work is of a stupendous character, involving engineering skill of a high order and large initial expenditures, as. for instance. the Roosevelt tSalt
 River valley, Arizona) and Shoshone dams. and the Gunnison tunnel.
 Tn so far as any of the projects have been completed. with few ex- captions they promise great and last ing beneficial results to the settlers.
 Up to June 90. 1909. the estimated
 total receipts in the reclamation fund
 were $5S,5S2,1 ,140; but as money is not ! coming by any means fast enough to
 push the various projects forward to meet pressing needs for water. the
 secretary asks congress for power to issue and sell securities of some kind. 1 based on the assets of the fund. to
 the extent of s30.000.0o0, or such part thereof as may be necessary.
 The importance and value of this
 work of retaining desert and arid
 lands and making them fruitful is so great. not only for the present, but for all time that Secretary Ballin- gers reasonable request ought to be immediately and cheerfully granted by congress.
