Among the southsiders that attend ed the fair yesterday were Mayor Lesueur and wife, Fred Bracket and wife, Jas w. Lesueur and wife, L. H.

Howell, Dr. J. B. Nelson, Prof. Robertson and others. The train was crowded, and it cannot be said that Mesa did not do her full duty by the state fair, though many of her citizens regretted very deeply the evident slight put over her by the press as we'll as those having the matter in charge in the way in which Mesa was ignored in the re- ports of the Fl Paso-Phoenix races Every man, woman and child in the Gem city was filled with enthusiasm over the event and eagerly scanned the papers the following day for their towns part in the great race, but found no mention of Mesa. Only Florence and Tempe were given Q place as checking points, and no an- nouncemet gave the time to the Gen city Perhaps no one was to blame but neverthless there is a feeling that Mesa has not had a square deal ir the matter

COTTON YIELD AsToNIsHEs.


 There has been considerable discus sion in the Mesa section as to the ulti- mate yield of cotton to the acre and whether or not, it would be best to continue the production of Egyptian cotton or drop back to the big boil cot be increased until it will compete with ton of the south. Yesterday there was brought into Mesa a stalk of cotton with 606 bolls and squares on it. A yield of this kind if on an average over the field, would produce four bales of cotton worth nearly $500, and with the proper attention as to soil, cultivation and water, it can be made to reach that limit. There have been others who have objected to the long staple on ac- count of the per cent of lint obtained but with the new gins running in good shape, the increase in lint has been marked and yesterday A. Y. Tiffincy brought in 1850 pounds of seed cotton and obtained a 569 pound bale of lint which was an average of 35: F per cent lint it is seldom that any cotton turns out better average than this. As the season continues and frost holds off the cotton men are finding that they are making much more to the acre than they anticipated at the beginning of the season. With this crop gathered, cotton in the Salt River valley will no longer be an experiment, but a known crop, and crop also that has but little competition from the rest of the cot ton producing countries. The valley cotton has already been shown to be of superior grade to anything grown else where and with proper management in selling there is no reason why this cot i ton could not develope a demand that would be hard to supply for many l years. It is the toughest fible grown and is the next longest fibre grown and with proper selection, the length can the famous Sea Island fibre of the Car olinas With the short staple it is diff l ferent we will always have the south ! to compete with and not only the south in this country, but many other | parts of the world, for short staple cot | ton is produced in various length and conditions in many other countries, but as yet in only limited quantities. If we can develop a particular grade of | cotton in this section, there is no req son why we could not soon be demand l ing market similar to the Sea Island | cotton and obtaining it. In which | event, this valley would soon become | the richest spot in any farming sec

PHILADELPHIA's Wo oNDEREuI
 MAYOR,

 ment of the November American Magazine appears a sketch of Ru- dolph Blankenburg. The following extract from the article gives some idea of the kind of man BIankenburg Is and also some idea of what he has accomplished:
 Blankenburg says that the women and children of the city elected him. At one of the ward meetings held in factory district where MT. Blank enburgs opponent was in the ascendency a woman rose in the au- d1ence. She was a poorly dressed. worn, frail creature, and the men assembled stared as she began to speak. It was a pitiful story of a. hunted soul struggling in the tolls of that fiend in human form, the loan shark. Tighter and tighter the net had wound until at last every
 thing had gone and life seemed not
 worth the struggle. Then had come | to her help, unexpected, unsought. | Out of her despair she had been lift 1 ed freed from the persecution that had hunted her down, sent on her way with new courage. The man i who had done this was Rudolph Blankenburg. With tears streaming
 down her cheeks she asked their
 votes for him, this man who had saved her and thousands like her. The
 opposition let the speech remain un- answered
 '"The day he entered office he promised the citizens a business ad- ministration. He began by writing
 to all the leading shipping agencies | in the world calling attention to Philadelphia's transportation facilities
 and low freight rate westward Mayor Blankenburg is also Manu- facturer Bankenburg, with a success

WORK ON TEMPE STREETS.

The streets throughout Tempe have been greatly improved during the past two weeks through the orders of the local common council. At every ditch crossing, railroad crossing, and in fact all crossings where ruts were in evil dence, gravel has been hauled in, lev eled. sprinkled and made compact. Six blocks of street in the northern part of town adjoining the new state high way bridge have been graveled and sprinkled so that now they are among the best in town. Comparatively, the local streets are in probably better shape than any in the valley. To make them so, has meant a big expenditure of money and time by the council but in all, there is a certainty that nothing has been wasted Another notable feature, due to their efforts is the lighting of the new Tempe highway bridge during fair week from sunset until midnight.
