MARATHON RACE

Albuquerque, n. NJ, Sept. 30.-Great
enthusiasm is being evinced by the low
ers of outdoor sports throughout the
great Southwest over the coming Mara.
thon Race, which will be run at Trac.
tion Park during the coming Annual
Fair of New Mexico in this city the
week of October Bird. In many of the
Pueblos OF New Mexico and Arizona In.
dams are already making themselves
physically perfect so that when the shot
for the start OF the race is nred, they
will be equal to the hard task set be-.
fore them. Last Years Marathon, run
in connection with the annual Fair, was
one of the most pleasing features of the
week, and this year Is effort promises
to eclipse anything of the kind ever
attempted in the Southwest. Substan-
tial purses as follows are TO be award.
ed the winners: First, 500; second,
1885, third, $50; fourth, s25 and fifth,
SIS. The management OF the Fair this
year are particularly fortunate in Be.
curing entries and so far succeeding in
signing up over IS of the nimblest Of
the Indians from New Mexico and Ari.

xona. Among these will be the Indian,
lanai, who with several Of his com.
rades will wend his way to this city TO
compete with Indians from other Pueb.
los, who are also expected in this city.
SO strict are the rules governing this
race hat each competitor must send
along with his entry blank to the sec
rotary of the Fair, a medical certificate
certifying that he is physically able to
compete in the 10 miles race. Owing to
the late start of the race last year, II
was dark when the runners finished, but
the management this year has arranged
for an earlier start and the finish will
be plainly seen from the spacious grand
stand at Traction Park.
A novel story 10 connected with the
discovery of Lanati, the winner Of last
years marathon. The story, as brought
to this city by a Zuni resident who
heard the conversation, follows: "A
government official appeared early one
morning at an Indian trading point at
Zuni and called h1rriedly for a mes
senger who could reach Gallup with an
important message and return in the
shortest possible time with an answer.
The post soon echoed with the call for
a messenger. But a short time elapsed
before lanai appeared on the scene,
mounted on a horse, the equal of which
was not to be folnd for hundreds Of
miles around. lie was immediately ap.
preached and asked II he would not take
the message. Yes was his answer,
and with the request that he might be
| given a few minutes time in which to
prepare himself, he went outside to his
horse. Once there, No proceeded TO
rmove the saddle from the animal, after
which he turned him loose 10 Craze.
With the saddle under his arm, he re.
entered the post and asked ii he could
deposit same until his return.
Seeing the horse turned loose, and the
Indian with the saddle under his arm,
the government with a look OF astonish
ment, asked him If he was not going
to ride his horse, the distance oeng
about as miles one way. "No,' said
lanai, - will run. Horse cannot stand
trip"
And so it was, on that brisk morning,
that Lanati took his departure with the
message tucked safely in his jeans. The
start was made at 8 o clock, and before
the hands Of the clock pointed to the
hour of six that evening, Lanati was re.
saddling his beautiful horse at Zuni, and
preparing for mis- return to his casa.
Thus was another Marathon runner dis.
covered.

COLORADO GOVERNOR
KNEW POKER GAME
Taft Narrates Story Of How
Lone Queen Was Used to
Win One Thousand Dol
lars.

Beverly, Mass, Sept. 23.-Those who
think that President Taft is worrying
himself thin over political developments
may take another guess. Callers at the
Taft cottage find him in peaceful mind,
taking things as they come and deter
mined to 20 ahead and be president
as he sees his duty, regardless Of the
effect upon his own political future.
The president Is a good story teller
and very few of his visitors get away
without having joined him in a laugh.
Here Is one story credited 10 the presi-
lent by a caller at the Taft cottage
yesterday:
A governor of Colorado (of course
not the present governor) and a friend
we're playing euchre. The hands had

Syracuse. New York. where he attended
a convention OF fire chiefs of the

there last week. On his way back.
Chief Joynes expected to stop in New

active participant in the convention.
and was an interested spectator at an
exhibition of auto fire engines in oper-

engines, having but one such piece in
commission. The various makes OF
engines were lined Up in Clinton
Square beside the canal and gave ex-
hibition Of the power and volume of
water the gasolene engines were able
to throw. After the exhibition, Chief
Croker said in connection with the
proposed introduction Of motor engines
IN New York:
There can be no question but that

The United States has an experiment farm on
the mesa just on the outskirts of Yuma. Here
ultS even more marvellous than in the valley
are produced. Down on the lower levels there
are little nips Of frosty mornings occasionally
during December and January, but on the mesa
the breath of frost never touches the most del
icate vegetation. Oranges grown at the FEEDER
al experiment station are unsurpassed in their
delicious quality.
Yuma is a busy, up-to-date town. The more
modern Improvements consist of several blocks
OF attractive brick buildings. a three-story post
ofi1ce building. also of brick, and many other
nice structures. Among some OF the greater
improvements which are being made, are a
$4,000 school building, a $4,000 ice plant, a
fine clubhouse for the railroad employees, q
larger passenger depot, and the probability of
a new court house to cost $4,000. There is con-
siderable business done there, but the people
have not begun to awaken to the vast possibili
ties of the place. They should at once erect an
up-to-date tourist hotel. 1t should have ample
grounds around it and be planted with all
kinds of tropical vegetation If atmosphere
were only transportable like mineral waters,
and one could send eonsignments Of this Yuma
winter air to the East the inspiration of it's
health giving qualities would bring 20CO0
tourists every winter to the banks Of the Colo
RADIO River.
Yuma needs only to make known its climatic
attractions in the parts Of the East swept every
year by billiards. and SnowStormS to attract q
city full every winter. The fertility Of the val
lev below will almost make itself known with
out effort on the part of the people. But with a
valley full of intelligent and industrious rural
population, producing fruits and vegetables,
poultry. eggs, fresh milk and fragrant butter,
Yuma should be one of the most delightful
winter resorts in all America. There Is every
thing there to furnish tourists with the most
healthfnl and delicious food. and if the air in
that region does not drive doctors to seek
living elsewhere. it will be because the people
do not know how to live properly.
The Laguna Dam will be completed in 1909
and in ten years from today the attractions of
Yuma health resort and the fertility of
these bottom lands will be so well known that
it will require $1,000 in cash to buy single
acre of it.
