"REMINISCENCES OF
 MRS. TAFT IN BOOK

l WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. r. Our two living ex-Presidents, ColoneI Roosevelt and Professor Taft, are doubtless enjoying good incomes from their literary products. The yield from Colonel Roosevelt's pen is great CT than that of Taft's, but the latter is doing a good stunt in the lecture field.
 Mrs Taft has also entered the lists, and her recent book, which deals with big events in national affairs, is a real contribution to literature and history. Mrs. Taft discloses for the first time, story of her husbands inauguration. President Roosevelt asked the Tafts to dine with him and Mrs. Roosevelt on the evening of March 3rd, and speno the night in the White House as their guests. Mrs. Taft naively writes: Since the ex-president was not go- | ing to ride back to the White House with his successor I decided that I would. No Presidents wife had ever done it before, but as long as preced- ents were disregarded I thought it might not be too great a risk for me to disregard this one. Of course, there was objection. Some of the Inaugural Committe expressed their disapprovel, but I had my way in spite of protests and took my place at my husbands side. Perhaps I had little secret elation in thinking that I was doing something which no woman had ever done before"
 It has been the popular belief that the big break between Taft and Roose- welt took place at Beverly, but Mrs Taft refutes the story and describes the visit of Colonel Roosevelt to that place. She speaks of the visit as being a most pleasing one, and she dwel, upon the numerous anecdotes recited by Colonel Roosevelt as special am bassador at the funeral of King Ed ward. She says that Colonel Roose- welt twas constantly running into kings and other royalty" They were so numerous in London at the time that Colonel Roosevelt's unfamiliarity with Great Britains procedures anu without his lack of training in the honorifices of court life, resulted in making many extremely funny blum ders.
 He told us many stories of his visit with the worlds elect" relates Mrs. Taft, land with his keen appre- citation for the ridiculous and his de scriptions, gave us as merry an after noon as we ever spent with him"
 Mrs. Taft says that she dwells on the memory of this agreeable meeting of Mr. Roosevelt and the entertain, ment it afforded. By his manner he succeeded in convincing me that he still held my husband in the highest esteem and impressed on me the ut most confidence that the rumors of his antagon1sm were wholly unfound- ed. I was not destined to enjoy this faith and assurance very long,"
 The whole book is filled with such "reminiscences and instructive matter that it ranks with anything that has appeared during the year. Mrs. Taft recited the career of her husband on the bench, as governor of the Philip pines, and as ambassador to Rome, 1 Pope Leo XIII.

CHA RANcHERS ARE
 MAROONED AT HOMES

North Gila Valley ranchers are ma rooned on their ranches. The Gila river is still pouring it's flood oi water into the Colorado. The river is lower than it was last week, but it is likely to be two weeks or more before it can be crossed with safety by teams and wagons. The new Ante lope bridge was washed out when the Gila was at its height and the roads beyond Dome are unfit for travel Automobile traffic is suspended.

THE S. P. BOYS HAD
 A PAY DAY THIS DAY

Today is payday for the Southern Pacific railroad boys. It has been suggested that dry town offers little or no inducement to a Tive one" to cash check, and several of the Tive ones' may think it necessary to go to Imperial to loosen up.
 The Morning Sun says that since the town has gone dry some of them won't know what to do with their money. It is probable that as a last resort they will have to put 1t in the bank or give it to their wives"

These books describe much more than

authors picked up the history OF the
country from the time of the Indians
