sherman's Change Of Opinion.

CHICAGO. May "A Washington
special says: Before General Sherman
DEPARTS on his executive tour Of jnslsec-
ton of army posts in the southwest
and on the Pacific Coast he caused it to
b&. known publicly he was I'm fav@r Of
the com p,,lsOry retirement feature Of the
army appropriations bill and believed
firmly in requiring all officers to go
ulMn the retired list upon reaching the
age f g., a. provided for in the bill.
Something has occurred to change Gen.
Slerman's views since he left Washing
ton. ~ he has been telegraphing here
against the enactment Of this clause,
without exception Is made in favOr Of
all officers of the army above the rank
Of colonel. The Senate Appropriation
Committee has not vet taken action on
the bill. and delay has l,een caused by
the almence Of Gen. Logan. Chairman
of the Sub Committee having the meas
ure in charge. When Gen. Logan left
for the Hot Springs It WAS understood
no final action would be had on the bill
till he returned. At that time it was
known that Gen. Sherman had changed
his views in regard to the retirement
clause and it was thought this feature
would Ike agreed to almost unanimously.
1t appears, however, a. the result Of
(;enetal Sherman kilograms that some
Of the members If the committee have
also changed their views and that the
clause can now only I've carried by the
vote Ut Gen. Logan, and he is not ex-
pccted back until the latter part If this
week. The opponents Of the rctiren'e t
clause are trying tO force action before
Gen. Logan ret rms, Of course with the
view Of defeating the interest Of Gener-
al sherman.

Another Smelter for Barker.

A project is on foot, with fair promise
of success, to erect at once smelling
works on a small scale at Barker. The
principal promoter.<of the enterprise is
Abran Gibson a gentleman OF extern
sive experle.~ ace in the smelling business
and VINO is quite confident he can make
a sucr r,ess OF the proposed works. 1t is
TO DE something after the pattern OF the
spanish or Mexican smelter, and have q
capacity, 1t is claimed, of from three to
four tons day The cost of construction
will not be very great, and the parties
| interested assert that within sixty days
they will be ready to turn cut bullion.
It is proposed to work the ore from the
May & Edna lead, which is not as re-
| beliozas as most of the other ores in the
| canip The owners of this lead are in u
manner interested in the enterprise. and
J. j. Murphy is now in Benton on busi-
ness connected with the same. It is
claimed by some that such rude works
cannot successfully treat Barker ores,
and others maintain the contrary with
as much persistency. The result Of the
experiment will be watched with inter
est, and ii the venture is a success we
| may look for numerous smelters of the
kind to spring up i'll the mineral region

PORTER Vs ouRy

The Porter boom continues to swell as the time of the election approaches. The contrast between the two can- didates IS so marked, that as they make the canvass the popular verdict is largely in favor of Judge Porter as the more competent man. Mir. Oury IS a pleasant gentleman, but as repre- sentative has proven himself dead failure. Judge Porter on the other hand IS man of affairs. He thoroughly understands the needs of the Territory, and in his work on the stump discusses them intelligently and impresses the public with his capacity to make others think and understand as he does. That is what the Territory needs. It is a man of pleasing address and persuasive powers. Such a man can work wonders in securing the needed appropriations for our Territory and give us the rights at Washington that we should have. MT. Oury's speeches indicate barrenness of thought and resource, and show that he neither properly cOmprehsnds what ought to be done for the Territory and has no idea as to how to proceed to accomplish anything. His term has been a blank as far as accomplishing anything for the Territory at large or any of his constituents personally, and there is nothing to indicate that he has learned anything that will render him of service ID the future. It is simply foolish to return such 8 man for a second term, continue a virtual vacancy and let the great interests of the Territory suffer in consequence.

SAILING UNDER FALSE OoLoRs.

Delegate Oury is sailing under false colors mp ID the northern part of the Territory. The Alta Arizona, published at Mineral Park, Mohave county, con- tains an account of his speech there in which he claims credit for obtaining the order for the survey of the San Carlos reservation and securing an appropria- tiOn of SlO0,O00 for public surveys. The order for the survey Of the San Carlos reservation was obtained by Governor Tritle, and Delegate Oury knew nothing about the order until it WAS issued. The appropriation for survey of publc lands was only Sl0,00O instead of SlO0,- OOO and is the regular amount appro- prlated upon the recommendation of The Secretary of the Interior and the delegate had nothing to do with it. In fact We seriously doubt if be knew any thing about it until after it was made. Nr. Oury made no pretensiOns of the kind while here. He knew better, but he Is evidently presuming on the ig- norance of the people of Mohave. Mir. Oury must be hard pushed, when he has to claim credit for the work of others 10 secure his reelection.
 It is a hopeless case for him any way.

TAHOE IN | TURMOIL.
A FIOrE or Naferspouts and Great Waves
 Careering ever The Lake


 Although Lake Tahoe Is not very large body of vat T, yet at times 1t "boileih like pot" Tremendous gusts of wind rusa down the surrounding gorges from the summit of the Sierra Nevada Mountains most unexpectedly, and those who navigate the waters of the lake m sailboats must at all times even in what seems the best Ct weather keep a brisrt lookout for squalls and be ready to let go the nam sheet
 At this season the lake is very danger ous for small craft, and there are ire quently times when the steamers do not venture out. A few days ago. at the time when the recent general snow and rain storm was brewing, some gentle men Of the Comstock, who were at Ia hoe City, witnessed d grand and re- markable spectacle.
 The day was windy aud the lake rather rough, but a number of persons stopping at the hotel-our COmstockers among the number concluded to go to the long wooden end of the pier and try their luck at fishing. They had not been long at the eud of the pier before their attention was attracted by great roaring. Looking across the lake Tn the direction of GleubroOk. they saw regu- lar cyclone approaching. Before the hurricane came q long, uubroken wave, at least fifteen feet Iu height.
 Knowing that this would sweep the whole line of the pier, all present beat a nasty retreat to the shore. When at a safe distance the party turned to gaze upon the incomins wall of water. While thus employed they were startled by tremendous roaring tO the Dorthward, ard a moment after cyclone from that direction struck the lake. This sent be- fore 1t a hug, wave which had soon at tained the height of that coming from tbe southwark.
 In a few minutes the two waves came together. When they struck a column Of water and spray was sent into the air to the height of at least loo feet The collision of the two waves was fol- lowed by a report that sounded like heavy clap of thunder.
 A moment after this grand shock of the waters five or SIX wate' spOuts made their appearance, all within an area of three or four miles, aui carried great columns of water and spray 10 the height of several hundreds of feet. These cir cled to and fro over the lake for some ten or fifteen minutes, and then oue af- ter the other subsided, and for a time thereafter there was almost q dead calm.
 WaterspOuts are very frequently seen on the lake at this -asOn. This IS owing to the peculiar situation of the lake, under the crest Of the main ridge of the Sierra Nevada range of mountains. When a fierce gale from the westcrosses the ridge 1t plunEes down the great canyons, and thus are brought to bear on the lake conflicting currents of air. When a hurricane IS blowing from the west immense volumes of air appear to ] be damned mp and compressed behind ] the ridge of the SIerrd~, which at times ! escape and come over and down the l. gorges in tremendous 5utTS. No navi- !. gator of the ocean sees half as many waterspOuts m a three years' voyage as l are seen by persons residing at Lake !. Tahoe in a single season.

The improved method by which 1t has been made possible to produce pure cream of tartar, has had an important bearing upon the manufacture of bak- ing powder. By the process heretofore generally employed, 1t has been found impossible to remove all impurities, more particularly the tartrate of lime, which remained to such an extent as to greatly impair the quality of the cream Of tartar, and to interfere seriously wlth the strength and wholesomeness of the baking powders into which 1t en- tered.
 In the new process, which is owned by the Royal Baking Powder Company of New York, and exclusively employed in its extensive tartar works, the Iul- ported crude grape acid IS SO treated as to remove all vestige of tartrate of lime or other impurities, giving & pro- duct before unknown--a chemically pure cream of tartar.
 By the employment of these superior facilities, the Royal Baking Powder Company has made the Royal Baking Powder, as chemists all certify, of the highest possible degree of strength, absolutely pure" and wholesome, and with an always uniform leavenng DOW CT. It IS for these reasons that the "RoyaI' never fails to produce bread, biscuit, cakes. etc, that are light, sweet dlgestable, and wholesome, the eating Of which IS never followed by indiges- tion, or any of those physical discom- forts attendant upon the psrtakiug of improperly prepared food. In render ing possible the production of baking powder possessed of these qualities, the improved method of refining cream of tartar becomes at once a matter of material importance to the culinary world

County Ticket.
JOINT COUNCILMAN FOR PIMA.

Pima county has without dissenting voice conceded the Joint Councilman given by the new apportionment to this county and Pinal to the latter county The candidate for this position will un- dOubtedly be the Hon. J. W. Davis, of Florence, a lawyer of ability and in- tegrity. Mir. Davis selection will be satisfactory to the people of Pima as well as Pinal, where the gentleman is well known and deservedly popular.
 The relations between Pinal and Pima counties are the most harmonious, and its members of the Legislature have al- ways worked Tn unison except at the last session. We wish to say that our people have no desire to dismember Pinsl county and this concession of the Joint Councilman, who will have to re- present our interests ss well as those of PinRl, is an evidence of our good faith.
 PInal county has suffered as much as any from the fraudulent census ID Ys- vRpai. The census in Pinsl no one claims exceeds the actual population, and but for the frauds perpetrsted they would be entitled to full councilman. Pima county will do its best to see that PinRl has its due weight in the coming l Legislature, by giving Mt. Davis a hearty sdpportI for the office of Joint Councilman, and insure bis election.
