own at Fishers Hill, where the armies of

coming the great annual event into which
1T has since developed. The first few re-
unions We're purely local affairs. The
veterans and their families took their
lunches in baskets. Some speechmaking
and the singing of southern melodies
made up the program. In the course of
a few years. however, as if by magic. the
Fishers Hill reunion became a state
wide meeting, and today it attracts thou
hands from all sections of Virginia and
adjoining states, while hundreds of ma
tives of the Shenandoah valley living in
distant parts of the United States who
make an annual pilgrimage to the scenes
of their youth always arrange to do so
on the first Saturday in August, and hold
their family reunions at the big meeting
of Confederate veterans.

Gen Bennett H. Young Of Louisville

Confederate Veterans, was to have made
the principal address, but was unable to
reach Fishers Hill because of a train
wreck on the Chesapeake and Ohio rail-
way early this morning. He sent a tel
egram expressing his profound regret at
not being able to address his comrades.
Although all were disappointed by rea-
son of the generals absence, a cheer
went up when 1t was announced he had
not been injured. His place was taken
by several local orators, who made short
addresses.
At the conclusion of the speaking the
quartermaster announced dinner. and
there was general hurrying away from
the vicinity of the platform to the mess
hall and long dinner tables.
After an hour had been spent feasting
upon tho fat of the land the veterans
and their friends reassembled, and short
talks were made by eX-Confederates and
a number Of members Of the Grand Army
of the Republic. The latter were extended
every courtesy, and the fraternizing of
the former foes was one of the most en-
joyable features of the day.

Endowment of
100000 Raised.

With the opening OF the great university
this fall will come an endowment of half
a million dollars. which has been raised
and will be presented by the knights of
Columbus for the establishment of ten
scholarships i'll important subjects which
Will be eligible to students from all parts
OF TIE country by competitive examina-
ton As the order has no authority to i'm
pose any additional dues or expense upon
any local council, this great sum of
me ney has been raised voluntarily by the
different councils and Is fitting tribute
of the Catholic men OF the ma ion to the
establishment of an institution of learn
ing designed TO be worthy OF the name it
bears.
The erection of the Columbus memorial
is claimed by the knights OF Columbus to
be due largely 10 their influence and di-
rection. For years ii has been no ed that
the National Capital did not contain
memorial to the man who discovered the
new world. and IL remained for the order
which bore his name TO have the matter
so successfully presented to the national
lawmakers that bill was finally intro
duced making an appropriation of $780,
900 for this purpose. This bill was signed
March 4. 1907, by President Roosevelt
and in a case in the Knights OF Columbus

not less than two years. A special as
sembly is provided for the knights of the
fourth degree. which is presided over by
a supreme master for each state organi-
cation.
The cause of education always has re-
ceived much help from the order chiefly
because many of its members are of the
class who appreciate the full value of
education. The local councils in different
cities have been generous in the support
Of the Catholic high schools and have, in
a number of instances, arranged for night
classes and in other ways aided to place
the means of special or higher education
within the reach of those who would
otherwise find IL understandable. The
greatest work along this line. however
has been To aid the Catholic University
at Washington. which Is becoming recog
mzed as one of the greatest institutions
of learning in the country.
y few years ago an appeal went out
from the university for the establishment
OF a special chair of American history.
Although the order Of knights of Column
bus was less than half as large as now, a
ready response was made. The sum of
S3c,VO was raised, and the presentation
was made one of the historic events in
the history of the organization. over
10000 visiting knights came to Washing
ton from all parts of the country. The
check presented was mammoth one,

With the naming of this judge. Arizona will be treated to . republican quarrel that will be far more interesting 10 those on the outside than to those who are being drawn into the row, many of them against their will, says the Arizona Republican.
 On Wednesday, Taft will send to the senate the name of the Federal Judge for Arizona, according to an Associated Press dispatch. dated from ashington. D. C.. today. but whether it is Wednesday of this week or next ] week is left to conjecture.
 Arizona will not become a state before February l2. and it is not con sidered likely that President Taft will make his nomination until after he ] signs the statehood proclamation. N ednesday of next week is February | II and is probably the day that IS | meant

WILCOX. Feb. G:-The Termers about Willcox are organizing a cor poration for the purpose Of building oil tanks. and shipping in their oil for pumping purposes in tank cs- lots, and selling it 10 the consumers at q low price so as 10 reduce the cost of pumping for irrigation pur- poses. Considerable stock has been subscribed and the subscription IS still going on. The powers of the cor poration will be broad enough 10 in- clude the hindling and marketing ot the farm product of this section by the corporation The farmers are auve to the fact that organization means strength and, cooperation. and will be of inestimable value in the development and progress of the val ley.

 The new oil engine, which has been considerably discussed for the last few months has been thoroughly test ed out It was placed on a well in town, and run for about a month. Il used successfully heavy asphalt oil oi g gravity. thick as tar. The fue consumption was only one pint pel hour per horsepower under full load IL des4loped more thanl its rated Horsepower under test and upon beinl taken apart did not show the leas sign of clogging or carbonizing. Th' engine is an absolute success. Th' oil for it can be laid down in car louC lots at Wilcox for 1-2 cents per gal lon. This will reduce irrigation t' a minimum. As in enormous areas il the valley water is found within tn % foot lift. we look for a great de yelopment in this section With oi at f I-2 cents per gallon power cal be developed for S4 per month pc horsepower.
