The esazette-s BugaboO-

The very reliable @ organ over the way had a regular cock and bull story yesterday on tue military usurpation of the officers at Camp Mcdowell, making the statement that number of teamters had been put of the reservation causelessly, without being allowed 10 take their teams and camping ute sils with them. The facts of the case ss re- lated by one of our citizens who was present are these: That a drunken tedmsier passing over the reservation happened 10 be an ex-soldier and being stopped on account of the weather camped m the vicinity of the fort and went OF a regular drunk len spree, and persisted in coming into camp and interfering with the soldiers on duty there in such a manner as to De a serious annoyance to the whole camp and q fragrant imposition On the discipline neces- sary 10 be preserved. The result was that the ex-soldier was ordered off the reservation, and failing to go was put off. These, if we are not misinformcd, are the entire grounds for the abuse which the organ sees fit to heap upon the officers at Mcdowell.

The Raging Waters.

Last night, near midnight, the head of the Salt River Valley Canal, or the town caLal, as it is usually known, succum bed to the river pres sure, and soon wild flood of water was rushing down 1t. A portion of them took down the south branch of the canal which skirts the southern border of the town, and bursting the banks at the foot of Center street threatened destruction to the adobe and other buildings Tn that quarter. The alaIm was soon gwen, and the whole neighbol was soon at work, either throwing up embanke -ments about their houses, or endeav- bring to stop the breach in the bank of the ditch, in which, after a time, they were successful. The alarm at first was considerable, for in the darkness of the night no one knew what was coming. It proved, how ever. that matters were not as bad as
 anticipaftd. ard the waters were easily kept within the ditch by do- ing some good, lively navvying.
 Tie main branch of inc canal on the northern boundary of town was this mornInf a rushing, muddy tor rent that promises to make things lively in the grain country west of town, if not shut of. The river itself is slowly falling this morning. but as yet far from passable, and very likely there will be no crossing effected before tomorrow. From the north there has been no news; but, doubtless New River, Cave Greek, and Agul Fria are booming, and the s'ages are lad up along tte road. Mir. ".

Winfield s. SchlGy,
Who Will Command inc Greeley
 Relief Expedition.

We this week present our readers with the likeness of Commander W. $. Schley, of the United States Navy, who will have charge of the expedition that will soon sail for the Arctic regions in search of the Cree ley party. From the sad fate of long list of Arctic explorers and re- lief parties who have gone to the frozen re ,ions of the north nevar to aeturn, it will readily be seen that he who volunteers his services to penetrate that iceberg-cemeiery of heroic explorers in search of lost humanity or their remains, is man of heroic bravery which commands the admiration of the whole civil
 ized world. Upon the tablet which
 bears the names of q score of valicnt Arctic heroes will now be placed that of Winfleld S. Schley, and time will invest it with either the brill iancy of successful humane accom- l.lishment, or the sad halo of another sacrifice of human life for fellow humanity
 Winfield s. Schley was born in Maryland in 1889, and is now in the 45th year of his age. He was ap- pointed to the naval academy ID 1856, and graduated in 1860. At inc opening of he Civil War in 1861, he
 was attached to the fligate Potomac as master, and was stationed at Ship Island In 1862 he was transferred to the steam gunboat Winona, of the West Gulf blockading squadron, and was i'll all the engagements which led to the capture of Port Hudso on, La. So conspicuous was his bravery during this conflict that on the 18th of July, 1862, he was promoted to a lieutenancy. Soon he was transfer red to the gunboat Watclee, of the Pacific squadron, in which h. served for two years, during that period being commissioned as Lieutenant commander. In 1848 he was as signed to the Naval Academy, where he remained an Instructor until 1871, when he was Transferred to tho Ber- nicia in the Asiatic fleet. After sev- eral foreign tours he again returned to Inc Naval Academy for three H nd on July 10th, 1874, was pronIotcA 70 Commander. He then commanded the Essex on the Sonth Atlantic Station during 1877 aud 1878. and since that time has been variously assigned At the time of his selet tion to command the Gree icy expedition he was under service in the Naval Bureau of Equipment and Navigation.
 Commander Schley is new actively engaged in electing and organizing the crew of 150 that will accompany him, and expects to sail on hls miss sion early ID April. The expedition will be composed of three vessels, and will be equipped for two years absence. MT Schley will leave be- hind hIn an anxious W fife and inter- estIng family of children, aud na- ton that will bid hlm and his brave comrades a God speed and a safe return

 We understand that the question IS under consideration by the Pubic School Trustees of Keeping the pub lie schools open, and applying the funds of next school year to liquld- ating the expenses thereby incurred, as the funds for the present year are about exhausted. It occurs to us that Section 87 of the RcYi- ed School Law would settle that ques- ton in the negative. To continue school it appears necessary to hold an election in the district for the purpose of levying a tax for that purpose, and if the district votes "Tax, yes," it Is accordingly levied.

That Crusher on the Public
 School Question.

The organ yesterday evening sent m that sumner that we were notified was to fall on what the HERALD had to say on the school question. What we said was simply what we had a right 10 say, and cast no reflection on the School Trustees whatever, and if il did, we wish it distinctly under stood that the HERALD will criticise the public acts of public off. CT as it pleases, when speaking in the ina tercsts and defense of the public. Bulldozing won't go down here, and the organ will probably fail in its attempts in that direction.
 Since the organ has so eiaborately and falsely brought the matter up before the public, we will give the f cts and the public can judge where the "unrelIability'' and "mis- representation" lies.
 This school district is now in debt about $1.500; an appropriation was made yesterday of about $1,0S2, and that is the last large appropriation for the year; there may possibly be enough more which with this appro priation will cover the indebtedness. These are the facts as they now stand and they go to show that at this moment the district is in debt some $4OO.
 The remarks of the HERALD were in the interest of a continuance of the school, but the organ was either too dull to see that fact, or unwilling 10 see it. We hope the school will be continued, but again we say what we sad in substance before, that if it is continued it must be on the per- sonal responsibility of the Trustees or on money raised by special tax. The Trustees cannot involve the school district in a debt which the future is 10 pay, without the consent of the people by a direct vote CD the matter, and all indebtedness which they otherwise incur they are liable to be obliged 10 ray, themselves. We earnestly hope the school will be kept going tlll hot weather begins, but it should be done by legal means or pers onal generosity.
