YAVAPAI APPLES
 PROMISED GOOD
EXPERT DECLARES THEY ARE THE BEST HE HAS SEEN IN ARIZONA.

PRESCOTT. Aug. 16-A. w. Morrill, recognized as an tauthority in en tomological circles. and attached ts the Arizona Horticultural Commis sion at Phoenix. has been in this sec ton several days, making an invesu gatlon Of the resources included u his duties. returning a few days age from the western part of the country. where he inspected the many orch ards in a bearing condition as well as the fertility of the soil for the propagating of the fruits indigenous to this altitude. He is very pronounc- ed in his estimation of the country. saying that the possibilities of the land are incalcuable, and bases this belief on what he has personally ex- amined. at various points under culti- vation.
 He is deeply impressed with the quality and the character of the apples raised at Fair Oaks on the Maus & Stewart orchard. saying that the coddling moth, the worst pest in the country. is not in existence in that orchard or adjointing lands.
 The above orchard he pronounced as superior to any he has inspected in Arizona, as it is an unusual thing to see an apple crop not afflicted by worms. This admirable feature he attributes to the isolated locality and the high elevation.
 Hr Morrill, is investigating the different types of smudge that are being used to save the orchards from destruction from frosts and cold weather. and is taking a list of all fruit growers
 He will leave this morning for the Verde Valley, where he will spend several days investigating fruit growing conditions. He states also that the Yayapai peach is unexcelled and that the many varieties raised in this country were unknown to him until his visit. In apples, also. he is very fayorably impressed and pre- diets that in years to come this sec tion will be one of the most prolific in growing fruits of the best quality in the Southwest

FIGURES SHOW CHICAGO
 A CHEAP PLACE TO LIVE

CHICAGO Aug. 15.--In support of his contention that a family can live in Chicago at a smaller expense than in any other city of America. City Controller Wilson has issued many columns of figures, showing the aver age property owner in Chicago gets services costing more than 300 per cent of the annual taxes paid by him
 For his average property owner he selected man owning a S3OO0 resi- dent and having a wife and three child ren. He estimated the real estate tax at s46.10 and the water tax at S76J. a total of S53.75 adding a possible personal property tax of s7 37, giving Ia total of Se112.
 For this, he held, the family would receive services costing $172.O2. and If the country. state and similar ser vices be included, he estimated tho total benefits at s195.25.
 In his basis for calculation Mir. VII son considered the population of tn, city at 2,500.O00. and used the assess ed valuation of the property and ths total product from taxation as tn, basis for fixing the tax rate at s4.61 per sl00 upon which he reached the total of taxation in his hypothetical case.
 His estimates of the cost of services furnished was based on the property owners share in the various forms Of governmental operation. itemized in part as follows.
 Police protection, s1ISO: fire protec- tion; SC; health protection, S1.IO; re- moyal of garbage. S2.S5; cleaning and reparing streets. etc. $3.25: mainten- anee of house of correction, muicipal courts etc, $215; operation and im- Drovements of water works, s1O.1O; public libary, 70 cents; schools. each child, $37S9, s112.17; benefit of parks and boulevards $9 25.

ELECTRIC SIGNS
 WILL BE SUPERB
SANTA FE INTENDS TO INSTALL DISPLAY AT THE IRRIGATION CONGRESS.

PUEBLO, Colo, Aug: 17:-Visitors at the Sixteenth National Irrigation congress. Albuquerque. 1908, will re- members the wonderful and clever electric piece emblematic of the San ia Fe advertising sign. that was sus- pended over the Hotel Alvarada and cast it's brilliant lights over the town evening. It was the talk of the congress.
 The Santa Fe does not propose to do quite such a handsome thing at Pueblo September 26-30. in connec- ton with the Eighteenth sessions of the Irrigation congress yet has some definite and beautiful signs in mind.
 Industrial Commissioner R. E. Will son of the Santa Fe. who was ia Pueblo recently, discussed this with congress and exposition officers. with Dr. R. W. Corwin. chairman of the committee on decorations of the board of control. citay officials. and lccal Santa Fe agents and officials.
 As the result. there will probably be a somewhat similar. though smaller. electric piece flashed over Pueblo. each evening during the Eighteenth sessions. There will also be other electrical displays on the part of this raod.
 The Santa Fe has decided that it cannot make an agricultural exhibit fr. N,- L.. rigation exposition. for the reason that it is hardly possible for it to do so at the present time. It has a fine exhibit however. of irrigation scenes along the Santa Fe lines, which it is contemplating bringing to Pueblo to be installed probably in Mineral palace, where the sessions of the congress will be held
 In many other ways the Santa Fe is manifesting it's decided approval of the big Pueblo events next fall, and lending its assistance and CO operation to the plans for the success of these undertakings. The rates made by the road, as heretofore stated, are excellent. and calculated to bring great crowds from territory travers ed by road
 President Ripley of the Santa Fe has officially and heartily commend. ed the Eighteenth National Irrigation congress and the National Irriga- ton exposition. The Literature put out by the road is also very attractive and fully adyertises the congress and exposition.

 ''One special reason why English history is your history. and why you should devote attention to it. is that the great service which was wrought for the world in those cen turies. and when your ancestors and ours were living together upon En- glish soil. was the service that they rendered for the world in the build ing up of free institutions. Those free institutions were built on good principles, on two foundations which were brought by your ancestors here. and upon which the fabric of your free government rests now just as they rest also in England

It is in this participation of the whole peo- pie, and not of any one class. that the strength of your government con sists. These are ideas and princi ples common in England and Amer.- ca They have been preserved with equal sacredness in both countries.

 Tt is a most wholesome idea that education and instruction and the search for knowledge are not confined to the years of youth and prepara- ton. but ought to be lifelong.
 T do not believe there is any coun- try in the world where the desire for knowledge and the means of obtain ing it are so widely diffused through the whole people as they are in the United States. That is as it ought to be in a free-governed country. where opinion rules; and if public opinion rules. public opinion should be educated and intelligent.
 You are all interested in the po- litical life of your country; one-half of you are voters, and the other half. who do not enjoy that priyil- ege. are not less influential There fore I speak to the women as well as the men who are present. as hay ing an interest in civic duty. and who desire to know all that can be known which is Of service to citi, zens of the public duties of life.
 Tn all countries that have their own active political life. there are parties: and in all countries one of the greatest difficulties for the citi- zen Is to know how far he ought to obey and follow his party. and how far to stand independent
 These are questions which every one must solve for himself as they arrive. They are questions about which you cannot lay down general rules. but which make the greatest call on the judgment. the honesty, the conscience. they are questions on which you are getting a great deal of light from the study of history of parties in the past
 ~One of the best things you can learn is when the time has come at which a man should be independent of his party, and when. on the other hand. the time has come when he should stick to the party and bear with it, even if it does not entirely suit, for the sake of what it stands for and wishes to accomplish.
 Now I come to a word about En- glish history. l am glad. very glad. 1, that you devote special asteIettiiJ5,iIii tto 1 it.

ter of Lincoln is more instructive than that of the other man I have named. because Abraham Lincoln. more than any of the men we know. started from absolutely nothing: he had no advantages at all: fortune had done nothing whatever for him; George Washington was a Virginia gentleman. who received a good edu- cation. was reared in cultivated so- ciety. and he had opportunities of apprenticeship in those ways of war and peace in which he became so ia nous. But Abraham Lincoln had no chance at all. I suppose in all his tory there is not the case of a man who did more for men than he.
 Every citizen should think of oih- CTS as well as himself. and must con stantly be doing his duty to the oth- CTS, that the country may stand and prosper. The doctrine that we ought to do our duty to others as well as ourselves is true of nations as well as of individuals. A nation does not live to itself any more than an in dividual. We have a dirty 70 all humanity. It Is not. indeed. so near. but just as clear and strong as the duty we owe to our own country.
 T am happy to think that there Is no country in which the desire for the promotion of universal peace and the promotion of the methods Of stay. ing the ravages of war has received so great approval from the whole body of people as has been shown in the United States.
 You have also set an example of orderly freedom. order. not license or caprice, but participation in the came rights and their enforcement impar- tially.
 You have got to set an example to the governments for the benefit of all and not for any one class. The dangers of all class government come up in very insidious form, in a democracy. there will be people who set their own interests against those of the whole people, and one of the needs of a democracy is 10 prove that there are duties to others, and that the government should not be for a class but for the whole peo- pie.
 You have vast regions of fertile country. regions in which there is room for all. You have an un- equalled security; no enemies in the world. You have had a people in whom there has been a higher love of education and practical knowledge than. probably, has ever been seen or devised before in the midst Of any other nation.
 Therefore. with these unexamplei benefits that providence has bestow- ed upon you. you seem especially called to be an example to other countries of what democracy may ac- compIish."
