ever before. This result was not anticipated

TEMPE DEPARTMEMT 7: " v..ss.s es~'@"
THE SUPERIORITY Of
 THE MORNING PAPER
What the Evening Paper Reader in the Country Learns Today Is Old
 to Republican Readers.

There are frequent examples of the superiority of the morning paper over evening publications, especially for the patrons of rural routes, but there was never a better illustration of this than on last Saturday morning. There has never in the history of the Tempe coun- try been a question of more interest than that of the present water contro- versy. In Saturday mornings paper appeared MT. Hilrs letter to the com mittee of seven. It was read with the most intense interest by nearly every one on the south side. There are, of course, a few who depend upon the evening papers for their news. These will learn of Mir Hills reply some time today, for it appeared in Saturday evenings papers and they will be de- livered on the rural routes this morn ing. Hence, those who depend exclu- sively upon the evening publications will become aware today of q matter the country knew two days ago.
 Those same people will learn some time tomorrow, provided the fact is published in the evening papers to- night, what country readers of The Re- publican will know today, namely, that there will be a meeting of the com mittee of seven to consider the letter in question, that news having been published in yesterday mornings pa per.
 There are frequent instances of this nature that make the thinking man re- alize and appreciate that the paper of real value to him is the one pub lished in the morning every day in the year-The Republican.

MESA DEPARTMEMT

ket demand was for Rocky Ford mel ons, and the big commission men were frantically telegraphing to that place for more melons," but since Mesa has made her debut with melons superior in quality, the telegrams are not alone for the little Colorado city, but are being sent hot over the wires to the Gem City of the Salt River valley, de- manding an increase in the output and heavier shipments, as the market de- mands exceed the supply.
 Chicago has awakened to the fact that with all her teeming millions it rests with a little Arizona town of some two thousand inhabitants to help supply her luXuries, as is demOnstrat- ed by the ears of cantaloupes and grapes that are leaving Mesa for the bustling markets of the mighty Windy City, and Mesa is fast coming into prominence in the East through the medium of her fruits.
 Mesa's cantaIoupes have always been her most distinctive feature, and every year thousands of crates leave Mesa bound for Eastern markets, where eager buyers purchase them before they are fairly out of the cars.
 The Mesa Cantaloupes bear the repu- tation of being a reliable fruit, as they are all sweet, firm and full of canta- loupe flavor and the H. Woods com pany have their supply sold long be- fore the cars roll into the big yards at Chicago, and the cars are barely switched before a horde of drays and trucks surround them and relieve them of their precious burden to take the melons to the various stores and fruit markets throughout the mighty eXpanse of the midwestern metropolis.
 The cantaloupe industry is to Mesa what cotton is to the south, on a much smaller scale, of course, but the same principle is involved and Mesa owes all the fame which she has won in the East to her cantaloupes
 Although the crop was not as plen tiful this year as in the past years, owing to the smaller number of farm CTS planting the fruit, a much higher price prevailed and the men who put their lands in cantaloupes can be told a block away by the smiles that adorn their cOuntenances.
 The smiles are the kind that wont come off, and they are caused by the mellow jingle of gold in overall pock- ets-the result of their labor in broad acred fields, where the fruit was raised that put Mesa "on the map
 It is predicted that next year Mesa will have a much heavier yield as number of land owners express their intention of planting their first crop. and, if every year there is an increase in the output of the fruit, it will be but a matter of time until we all remove our hats to Mesa cantaloupes.
 The George Dykes company of Mesa says it will gather over 4,000 crates off of its eleven-acre patch, and Loran Dana has received $3S7 advance money on the fruit he has picked and shipped off of his seven acre patch.
 Taken altogether, Mesa's cantaloupes are the one best bet of this section of the Salt River valley.

WASH SILK BLOUSE.

For summer wear many women pre- fer the wash silk blouse to the linen or lawn blouse, since the former does not wrinkle or soil easily. The best silks to use are the habutai, Jap and China silks. The silk blouse in plain tailored effect. with pleats of differ ent sizes and collar and small tie of the same material is among the smart est models. Some women wear a linen collar and a iabot of lace with the silk blouse. A side frill of silyk is also a very stylish addition, and a low em- broidered or lace collar is sometimes worn. Most of the silk waists fasten down the front with a row of small pearl buttons Striped silks are worn extensively The width of the stripe varies from the hair-ine to the inch width

MESA'S GREAT
 ADVERTISING What Canta|Oupe Industry
 Has Done For Il FIFTY CARS HAVE GONE
Though a Smaller Acreage Was Planted This Year, Higher Prices Have Civ en New Impetus to the Industry

For the past three weeks a crowd of busy men has been sorting, label ing and loading thousands of crates of firm, luscious cantaloupes at the Southern Pacific dept, and still the work goes on. Four cars were shipped yesterday From early morning until late at night, and sometimes far into the night, the men who are handling the shipments for the II. Woods com pany are hustling to get the canta- loupes loaded in the express refriger- ator cars and already about fifty cars have left Mesa en route for Chicago, where they go to satisfy q cantaloupe loving public.
 The Mesa cantaloupes cannot be considered rivals of the much heralded Rocky Ford fruit, for the Mesa melons are vastly superior to the Colorado product and are commanding the same high prices and far more attention than the melons that have made Rocky Ford famous.

PREACHED GOSPEL

And Incidentally Jim Goodwin Had the
 Time Of His Life.

Jim Goodwin is homef rom his trip
 to New York and many other cities
 of the east. and. though he had the
 real time of his life. like a loyal Ameri-
 can, he is glad to be back to his native
 heath again.
 Mir Goodwin overlooked nothing while away and every chance he got he spread the gospel of Arizona. There is no doubt but that many a false impression has been dispelled in east ern minds by MT. Goodwin.
 The trip was an interesting one and would fill a couple of pages with good reading matter Arriving at St. Louis, Mir. Goodwin and the other Arizona rough riders were joined by fellow rough riders from other parts of the county. Two Pullmans of them left there, stopping over at Cincinnati, where they were entertained by the mayor and where an excursion all over the city was planned for their benefit. Arriving the next day at Washington, they were treated to a reception and had the pleasure of meeting President Taft. who gave a hearty handshake to each. The day following they landed in New York and were quartered at the Buckingham hotel This was on the 18th. The next day was spent in securing uniforms and preparing for their part of the next days events. Ex- President Roosevelt arrived as per schedule and the Rough Riders were q feature of the parade. Before it was over MT. Roosevelt dismounted from his automobile and, going down the line of horsemen shook hands with every one, many of whom he could call by name Before leaving New York MT. Goodwin and the other members of the troop attended the wedding of Theodore Roosevelt, Jr, and on the 2Sd had the privilege of hearing the ex- president for over an hour. A recep- tiOn was rendered him and all but the Rough Riders were barred from the room. Press representatives were ex- cluded and for over an hour the ex- president had a heart to heart talk with his former soldiers.
 MT Goodwin left the next day and stopped over four days in Washington. He was there just in time to be present at the close of congress and was in the house at the time. On his way back west he stopped over for a visit of week or so at his old home in Missouri.
