 At the present time MT. Rice is planning to have an exhibit at the Land and Products" show. to be head in Los Angeles some time fin March. This is to be something like the United States Land and Irriga- ton exposition, which is held annual y in Chicago. The Salt River valley. however. will not be able to make a very creditable showing at this time of the year.

KIND OF PEOPLE WHO
 SEE FORTUNE TELLERs
La Monte Says His Patrons are not
 From Poor and Ignorant Classes.

What kind of people patronize clairvoyants? We'll. the idea of the general public is wrong. Most every one fancies that fortune tellers,' as those in my line of business are called. prey upon the ignorant and therefore credulous That isn't true. for nine tenths of my patrons are from homes of culture: many are from homes of wealth"
 Thus spoke Prof La Monte. the Hindu clairvoyant and palmist who arrived in Phoenix a few days ago and opened parlors on West Monroe street His questioner had asked him from what walks of life came most of the people who apply to him for read ings
 La Monte is a young man of very dark complexion and piercing black eyes. He brushes his coal black hair straight back and looks more like a musician than seer. He bears a slight resemblance to Jan Kubelik. the violinist.
 One cannot talk with La Monte without being convinced that he be- leves thoroughly in his art Moreover. he believes that the world at large Is coming to believe that certain persons are born with the gift of foretelling the futures of other mortals not so fortunate.
 Yes. some of the foremost scientists of the world admit that there is some thing in palmistry and other black arts said La Monte yesterday. Everywhere I go convince scores that I can do what l claim. Skepti- cism is disappearing. slowly but sure ly You. however. are still a skeptic. More, you simply don't believe in for tune telling. But l have convinced hundreds like you. l am convincing friends and neighbors of yours every day.
 Il will admit, that there are fakers in this business. A great many per sons with absolutely no gift for fore telling the future hang out signs and pose as powerful seers. If they tell the truth it is an accident. Their work has done a great deal to iiscred- 1t genuine clairvoyants.
 But you asked me about the class of people that come to my pariors. They. are not the poor and ignorant if wanted to catch that kind l would not be on this street. Bankers. iaw- yers. even ministers. come to me with their problems. They do not come Tor curiosity alone. as one might fancy. but because they have hopes than I can help them out of diff rulties. have saved more than one puzzled bookkeeper, whose accounts nave become twisted or short. from disgrace"
 La Monte has press clipping to prove that he is really the ciairvoyant who foretold the assassination of President Mckinley some months be- ore that tragic event occurred. This | distinction has been claimed by many l put La Monte has the proof. After he assassination he was featured In 1 many of the largest papers of the | United States as the Boy Wonder |

Governor Taylor of Kentucky was in- dicted for murder. and was wanted in his state. Mir Warren offered a re- ward for the capture of MT. Taylor and his return to the Kentucky au- thorities I understand that 1t is not an unusual thing for citizen to aid in this manner in the apprehension of fugitive from justice.
 To what twistings, turnings and dark interpretations must the judges of the circuit court be driven in order to send MT Warren to prison, As understand it. federal law defining the kind of matter which it is a crime to mail has been stretched to cover this act. What was the act? The offer of a reward was printed on the outside of envelopes mailed from Gi- rard by Mir Warren. This was con strued as threatening because it was an encouragement tO others to kidnap a man under indictment. This the supreme court had by implication de- clared to be an innocent act; for in the case of PettibOne. Mover and Haywood the accomplished act itself was held to be no infringement of the rights of citizen.
 one need not De d SOCidilSl to icaii]C the significance. the gravity. not of MT. warren's offense. but of the of- fense of the judges against the constl- tuition. and against democratic rights It is provided that congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech or of the press Surely this means that we are free to print and mail any innocent matter What MT Warren printed and mailed had been established by the supreme court as innocent. What beam was m the eve of the honorable judges or the supreme court? Or what mote was in the eye of the justices of the circuit courts?

After looking over the Laguna project they went down the river to inspect the progress of operations under the contracts recently let for building d levee along the Colorado and otherwise regulating the repre- hensible conduct of that stream. MT. Hill says that when they got ready to travel south they found that the regular train to Andrade had been annulled. probably on account of fear of the operations of the insurrectos. However. they got a special train and proceeded. going as far south as the work going on for closing the inflow into Bee rivei. Considering the short time they have been at 1t Mir. Hill says they are making fine progress. They had no trouble with insurrectos or any one else.
 Mir Davis went on to Los Angeles. where he expected to spend two or three days. and then go gon to Provo. Utah. the Truckee- Carson project and the Uncompaghre project. In about a month Mir. Hin is to meet him again at the Strawberry valley project.
