During the past year highway robbery has become alarmimglv f e. quert, and the peace and prope ty Of the private citizen greatly en- dang"red. More security of prop erty and person while passing over the public highways demands the careful consideration of our law makers and courts of jus ice. Next winter we shall ask to have law passed making highway robbery q crime punishable by death, and shall further urge the passage of a lav giving tie executive or some other officer unlimited monetary power in experiencing robbers.

AN IMPORTANT WORK.
I;II. 27

The present rise in Salt Rive, has demonstrated the necessity of much stronger work at our princi- pal ditch heads in order to make crops secure by giving an unfailing water supply.
 The banks of the river at the helds of the s 1t River Canal and the Maricopa Di.ch, are very inse- cure, and the damage by the presen freshet is so extensive that f.ars ar9 entertain d that the repairs required will occupy so much time that there is danger of considerable loss in crops, the present season. ExIea- sivc repairs will, also, be necessary at the head of the Salt River Canal.
 It is now proposed that a new Company be formed. Or rather that the three Comp ,nies, the Salt River Canal. the MaricOpl ami the Phenix be conso idatel, and if necessary ad- di:ional shares of stock sold, and q ditch head made at the point of ocks two hundred yards above the pres cnt dms. This will give single secnre gate head for all the d,tchcs. Al. the land, and more than these di:ches VII cover, can be supplied. The river has rock bottom at the point named, and therefore a p4rma- nent dam can be made. and one that can be kept in repair at mu h less expense than either one of the two present structures. The bank of the river on this side, is a high solid rock. and on the other side il is about eighteen feet high, and well rooted with timber, securing perma- ncnc.
 We shall have more to say in our next issue in regard to this important and strongly demanded improve ment, and hope none of those inter ested will allow themselves to bcomc prejudiccd against it until they see the arguments in its favor.

We received the following letter from Rev. Sheldon Jackson by We'd nesday's mail:
 DENVER. Col, April F, 1878.
 EDITOR SALT RIVER HERALD:- In your issue of March 30, you publish against me a telegram from Silver city, with editorial comments. Fair play will lead you to publish my reply: 1 never made in any connection the statement that lin Arizona and New Mexico such a thing as chastity in q female of 12 years and upwards is not known, etc. 1 did say, when speaking of the Indian women of Alaska, that they often sold their girls at the age of 12 and If years-which Is true. But you will preceive that this is a very different thing from the quota ta'ion of the Arzona press.
