CALIFORNIA; State Commissioner of Labor, J. J. Tabin is about to do mans
 kind good service by the publication of
 a report exposing the purposes and prac-
 tices of the so called national building and Loan Associations which he pro- nounces wild cat schemes of the rankest kind. When threatened with a libel suit by an attorney for one of said comp anies, MT. Tabin replied that the ag- grieved party could do the state no;better
 service as it would then give him an op- portunity of exposing their rotteness in court. The American" a portion of whose stock is held here, he pronounces one of the worst among the bad. When the agents of that institution were here the CITIZEN. although frequently appeal ed to for that purpose, consistently refus- ed to commend it to the good will of the people, not that We positively knew any thing against it at the time, but We knew nothing in its favor beyond the plausibility of couple of smooth ton gued agents, but notwithstanding this number of our citizens did take stock to their sorrow.

THE people of Pinal county are in dead earnest upon the reservoir propositioni and are likely to have an immense body of water stored on the Gila long before the people of Maricopa county have gathered themselves together sufficient ly to carry out similar project on the Salt and Verde rivers. MT. w. A. Me Ginnis, the civil engineer of this city, returned from Florence this morning with the results of two weeks survey for the dam and the capacity of the reservoir, and will at once begin the office work on the proposition. He is employed by the Board of Supervisors in the matter. He has not yet, of course, completed any of the estimates, but informs the editor of the Herald that the dam necessary to be built will be about 200 feet high and $50 feet tlong, and can be constructed by merely loos- ening the rock along the box canyon where it is proposed to construct the anu OucIl NlOhn lulO lll6 canyon. The dam can be made much higher without any more trouble thBn the 200 hundred feet will require. In other words, the construction of the dam will consist with filling the box canyon with rock for sufficient distance to safely resist column of water two hund- red feet high. The water will be backed up for about twenty miles and the cap acity of the reservoir will run up into | trillions of cubit feet. With this reser- voir complete Pinal county will reclaim and put into cultivation one of the finest bodies of agricultural land in the Uni ted States. Maricopa county is greatly in need of a cessation of her pickering water companies and waking up to the necessities of the common welfare. if she would maintain her position and pros perity among other counties in the ,Ter- rItory. The county should take hold of this matter.-Herald.

WE respectfully call the attention oi the Mayor and City Council to the dan gerous condition of number of old adobe walls in the city that are a stand ing menace to passers by. Some of these walls stand alongside of the most frequented streets, many of them eight and ten feet high and weigh tons, but the base of the walls are so weather worn from either side that slight force would topple them over. It is the duty of the city to compel the owners of the walls in question to strengthen their foundation or else remove them and build new ones. One thing or the other should be done, as the authorities have no right to permit such nuisance to go uncondemned In the interest of pub lie safety, action in the premises should speedily be taken.

HE discovery of Gov. Wolfey of Arizona, that the late Democratic ad- ministration of Gov Zulick has left a deficiency in the Territorial Treasury of several hundred thousand dollars, which cannot be accounted for, will not sur prise any who are at all acquainted with Cleyeland's appointee and his hench- men. Zulick came from New Jersey and was engaged in mining in Sonora, which place he had to leave by night, shortly before his nomination, to avoid his work men, who were anxious to introduce him to the end of rope. His administra- tion:w so scandalous that even the Democratic papers in the Territory, with insignificant exceptions, attacked him, and his recent removal was hailed by the people of the Territory as great re- lief. Gov. Wolfiey has addressed an open letter to the citizens, asking them to assist him in placing the responsi- bility for the deficiency where it be- longs. He may succeed in doing this, but there is very little chance that cent of the money will ever be recover ed.-L. A. Times

THE County Surveyor should be au thorized and employed to make sur veys, by the Board of Supervisors oi Pima county, of certain designated wa ter storage sites. Other counties have done this and there is no reason why grand old Pima should be allowed tC trail behind. A few hundred dollars would suffice to do the work properly and it should be done. The surveys would be of such character as to ascer tain the probable cost of the construc- tion of storage reservoirs, amount of water they would hold, acreage of arid land to be brought under cultivation and other such facts and figures apper- taining thereto, as will be of service to the Senate committee when they visit Arizona in September. As this work will necessarily consume consider able time, there should be no delay in making a commencement.

ARIZONA,S UNEQUALED CLI'
 NATE

IN the combination of those meteor ologicai conditions which go to make ur a salueric=s climate, Arizona leads al other divisions of the United States, as perUsa, e the records of the govern ment Signal Service will abundantly at test. Wai-e Arizona may be said to pos sess two distinct climatic zones, show wiGe variance in temperature, owing to difference in altitude, yet these de- siraDie conditions are found to prevail to an eminent degree throughout the Ter ritory, ri-: 4 remarkable dry atmos- phere, sr unusual number of clear days, ana an absence of sudden and extreme changes c: temperature.
 The record of the Signal Service for nine years at Fort Grant, Camp Thomas, Fort Apache, Prescott and Yuma, gives the percentage of relative humidity at those stations. respectively, at fl, 5l, 54 51, 45,-a1 average for the five stations of 4S.4, which will approximate very closely She average for the entire Terri tory. The significance of this exhibit is known thst the whole territory covered by ths '. $. signal service only eleven other stations divided between six States and Territories show relative humidity of 56 or less.
 The "ia1d of sunshine" as applied to Arizors, aas become somewhat trite, yet its opposite is apparent. It is a well est ablished fact that in some DOT tions ot or Territory the sun shines ev- cry day i- the year, while at no point, probabl-, IS 1t entirely obscured more than one or two days Tn the three hun dre6 ard sxty-five. According to the Signal Se-Tice record, Yuma, Arlzona, enjoys . greater amount of sunshine than ary ether spot on the North Amer ican co-ti-ent. The record there for tweIve -es7s shows an average of 277.4 clear Gays, and 73 fair days, and the least nUnber of clear days recorded in the Territory are 2103 at Fort Grant, which $ s,so credited with an average or LII TAT days In the year.
 Amocg the fifteen stations in the Uni ted States having the least daily differ ences cs mean temperature, Yuma and Prescott fnd place, and thelr advan- tage in Shis respect over other towns in ArizoEa E so slight as to be scarcely ap- preciaA,s- Indeed the exemption from sudden a-6 extreme changes of temper ature, from violent and destructive winds, cyclones, blizzards and northers is remarkable, guaranteeing complete immUEi-y 70 life and property from the destruc5i-e forces of the clements, so freque-ti- witnessed in less favored sec tions e tke country.
 Without any risk of exaggeratiOn or fear that the statement can be refuted, | it may be asserted that for salubrity, the l prevalence or those atmospheric condi- l tions which conduce to bodily health | and comfort, the climate of Arizona is | inconpGra0iy superior to that of any other pCr1ion of the United States,- Silver Bet.

The Closing of an Important
 Outlet.

The blockade of port is not more in- furious to its commerce than is even the temporary obstruction of the bowels to the health of the system. Constipation necessarily arrests the secretion of bile, impedes and disorders digestion, and poisons the circulation. The safest and most effective, as it is also the most gen ial, laxative and anti-billious medicine in existence is Hostetter's Stomach Bit ters, and it is more than probable that its sovereign efficacy as a preventative and remedy for intermittent and re- mittent fever is largely due to its re- fOrmatory action upon the liver, an or gan prejudicially in all malarial com plaints. Persons with tendency also to rheumatic, neuralgia and kidney trouble cannot do better than to antag- onize it with Hostetter's Stomach Bit ters, which invariably checks it at the outset. The weak, moreover, are in vested with strength by this fine invig orant

THE Governor of Mississippi, in his efforts to extradite a couple of sloggers, is using the entire legal machinery of the state. He, however, is meeting with but little assurance of success from brother governors of other common wealths. Taking Mississippi's record of outrages, the sudden outburst of virtue on the part of her governor savors too much of the old tale about straining at mouse but swallowing a camel, and as such it is being generally regarded.

 PARKERsBURG, w. Va, July 20-An estimate can hardly yet be formed of the great calamity that has swept over the Little Kananha valley, but enough Is known to mark it as the most destructive in life and property ever occurring in West Virginia. The scene of the great disaster was on Pond creek, Jackson county, and Sucker creek, Vert county. Pond creek rose twenty-five feet in an hour, from cloud burst. The water spread from hill to hill and carried all before it. Four men took refuge in Thomas mill. The mill washed away and Edward Boss was dro Sned. Thomas Black and his newly welded wife were washed from their home and perished. Thomas Hughes, his wife and four cbil- dren fled from their home, but the water overlook them, and none escaped but Hughes. On Sucker creek seven lives are reported lost, but no definite infor- nation can be obtained. The loss to property is immense and will run up in the millions.
 NEW YORK, July 20.-The Evening News, in an extra, prints story to the effect that letter had been received from we'll known newspaper man in the South. in which the writer says he is confident that Kilrain was drugged previous to his battle with Sullivan; that the business was done at Richburg the night before the battle, ,Kilrain being given Indian hemp mixed with ielly,and thus the drug, aided by he torrid sun, did its work. The News reporter called on Frank Stevenson in regard to the mat ter, and Stevenson said, ''Kilrain inform ed me after the fight that he had a strange feeling. Whether he was drug ged or not I do not know" Johnston of the Police Gazette, when seen, said 'Flinn, who put him in the ring said to him, "Johnson, Richard K. Fox would give s5000 if he knew what I learned at Richburg." Nothing could be learned.

 The list of performers presents the names of the most noted gymnasts, riders and aerial artists in the arenlc world, and the museum and menagc- rie contains a myriad of animate and inanimate curiosities, together with nearly every representative Of the animal kingdom.

TRIP TO CAMDEN.

Last week the editor of this paper made business trip to Camden. Enroute, to and from, we stopped at Hotel Hall, Gurdon, and we unhesi- tatingly pronounce it first-class hotel; Mir. Hall is courteous, live gentleman, who understands his bus 1 ineSs-Sets fine table. And just here we will say that Camden needs frst-class hotel, (having none now) but this she will soon have, for a stock company is now erecting q splendid and commodious brick, Hotel Ouachita, which promises to fill this want fully.
 The town, or we might more properly say city, since she has re- gently been made city of the second class, is building up substantially; quite number of new brick stores going up, and some just completed. Our clever friend, NJ. F. Watts, one of the leading merchants, has just moved into splendid new quarters, the new Morgan brick, The foun- dations for the fine brick and stone court house. to cost S35 ,000, are be- ing dug out Water works, recently completed, are working satisfactorily a great improvement and help to the city. Few places have better nat ural advantages than Camden, and with proper enterprise and push, she will soon grow into a large and pros porous city.
 We interviewed some of her live merchants, as to trade, the out look, etc., and all predict a bright future. Dr. ]. W. Brown, leader, clever gentleman, and solid Demo- crat, is doing much for Camden; he wants a railroad outlet South. Bry X Bro, wholesale and retail dry goods, are forging to the front-Cam- den's largest house, and leading out in the right direction, Morgan, McRae & Co.,, and NJ. F. Watts, are two other large houses doing big business both MT. McRae and Mir. Watts were off at market. Mir G. II. Stnson is the leading jeweler. D. W. Brummctt X Son, run a broom factory and propose to duplicate St Louis prices. There are a num- her of other good business houses, but we have not space tO enumerate all of them Camden has new National bank, a cotton compress. iron works, and other enterprises, run hy live men. A large portion of the southern part of this county trade there. because it is nearer than Prescott, and to those who do we in- vite their attention to the ads and To- calls herein of euterprislng merchants there, who seek their patronage.
