don't see any necessity for a person
paying an admission TO an art gall
iery or other exhibit OF the beautiful
when there are so many pretty
things to be seen in the windows and
1t don't cost you cent.
A malihini would hardly believe
that the enlarged photos in Gurrey's
were taken from actual animated
scenes. or course, the first success
Is In the right kind OF a film and
Gurrey's claim that they have the
top-notcher in that line, and I guess
they have, from the results shown.
There is another display OF photo
graphic apparatus a little further
down the street, on the same side,
filling one of the windows of the
HOLSTER Drug Company. II seems
that a person might get about what
he wants there in the way of a
camera.
The worlds greatest jewelry en-
porium, Tiffany's OF New York, Is
represented on smaller scale, but
Of as high a standard, in Wichman's.
That display OF cut glass is certainly
dazzler for the eyes and always
brings to my mind the scene of we'd
dings and the like. and when you
get to thinking OF such things 1t Is
time that you were making a selec-
ton, so | got away from that win

This is the time to ask the question
what have ! done for my neighbor or
the man next door for Christmas?
This is the time when the real
Christmas spirit will not let compla.

sit alone in the corner by the fire
while there are scores of poor unfort.

real aid and thought at this time.

After they have stopped and thought
they go out and give lie to those

Christmas may easily be made worth

IRON ROAD pAvEmENTs.

In the last few years decided i'm provements have been made in high way construction. The development of the automobile has done much to further new discoveries in road making. The French have begun to use shavings or iron excelsior em- bedded in concrete. The metallic shavings come in sheets or masses. which are broken apart with diff cuity owing to the intertwining of the filaments, and which are some what elastic. In the construction of paving blocks a mold is filled with these iron shavings and the inter stices are filled with cement suffi- ciently fluid to penetrate the entire mass. The blocks thus formed pos sess great strength and resistance to abrasion. They are also elastic un- der blows or jarring. They are said to have resistance to compression of about one hundred and fifty thou sand pounds to a square inch. and tensile strength four times that of cement The cost of construction is said to be the same as that of or dinary macadam.-Exchange.

WANT MORE EXHIBITS
 FOR TERRITORIAL FAIR
MEETING OF THE COMMISSION
 OCTOBER 16.
Farmers Are Asked to Respond With Agricultural Exhibits and Win
 Blue Ribbon for Maricopa.

At a meeting of the fair commission to be held October 16, all preliminary details of Arizona's big annual ex- position will be cleared away All of the commissioners are to be present E. R Pirtle of Douglas will be down and Hugh Campbell of Flagstaff A L. Moore of Phoenix. the third member, and Shirley Christy will of course at tend.
 It is announced that 2S3 horses have been entered in the speed events In addition there will be the exhibition horses of the Savage stabls, including Minor Heir, Dan Patch. Hedgewood Boy and Lady Maud C. It will be one of the biggest racing events ever held in the southwest.
 It is proposed to bring over the Douglass band and also one from Bis bee so that there will be no lack of music during the six days of the fair. The heads of the various departments are doing all in their power to get fine exhibits. Will Kay is making a trip about the valley in search of the fin est speciments of swine. Elliot Evans, county commissioner in the agricultur- al department, is particularly desirous that all farmers who are willing to ex- hibit shall write him stating what they have for the fair. Last year Maricopa county was third in agriculture and it is NIT. Evans intention to place Mari copa at the head of the list this year Maricopa is the agricultural county of the territory and should win the blue ribbon. Apathy on the part of the farmers last year is assigned as the reason for failure to get the prize. With a little effort the exhibit of this coun- ty could be made one to be proud of, and it is the hope of the commission CTS that the farmers will respond to their appeal.

IRRIGATION CENSUS
 0f THIS TERRITORY IMPORTANT WORK LAUNCHED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF
 AGRICULTURE. Two Investigators Will Tour Arizona to Secure Information About Dams, Ditches and Pumping Plants.

Arrangements have been made for the taking of the first irrigation cen sus of Arizona. Within the next few weeks, possibly in about ten days, two investigators will start on a tour of the territory Their work will be to visit every pumping plant or irriga- tion project of any kind whatsoever, secure information about the time and cost of its installation, expense of maintenace, water distributed, lands irrigated and products grown thereon.
 The investigators are Harry E. Blake of this city and Frank Good win of Prescott, territorial surveyor Blake will cover the eastern and southern parts of the territory while Goodwin will work north of Phoenix. They expect to complete the work early next summer.
 P. E. Fuller, chief of the bureau of investigation maintained by the de- partment of agriculture in this. terri tory, the head office of the bureau being in the Fleming building, has engaged the census takers and will start them upon their work. After that they will make their reports di- rectly to Washington.
 The census takers, or special inYes- tigators, are instructed to take plenty of time and to secure every bit of in formation it is possible to obtain con- corning irrigation and irrigated lands in Arizona No pumping plant, dam or ditch will be too small for them to pass by. They will establish bases from time to time. in the larger cities and towns. and work from these cen tral points.
 Similar investigations are to be made in the other states and terri tories. The results of all the inves- tigations will be embodied in a voIu- minous rport. It is safe to say that this report vii contain more infor- nation, figures. and statistics con- corning irrigation than any other work ever compiled.
 Whether similar investigations will be made fin the future is not known here, but presumably they will. This, however. is the first irrigation cen sus ever undertaken by the United States government.
