From The Grand Canyon.

Robert B. Stanton Chief engineer
of the surveying party of the Denver,
Colorado and Pacific Railroad COM
pany, arrived in Yuma with seven
assistants on Thursday afternoon. The
party left Denver November Goth, FIVE
months ago, to-day. Two boats were
lost in the Grand Canyon and the
crews sent back home by way of Peach
Springs. The boats are built of oak,
copper riveted, and are about twenty
feet in length and four feet beam. The
boats are provided with twelve air
tight compartments and are conse-
quently very safe to travel IN, regard
less of rapids or whirl-pools. The
description of the trip of the party
has been published before consequently
will not be repeated in these columns.
1t is said that large stream of water
was seen running from Ell Dorado Can
yon and several os the upper canyons
were also sending down rivulets to the
Colorado, indicating that the river this
year will be very high. The members of
the party arc looking trife bronzed,
but they are all in the best of health
and say that their trip has been very
exciting and enjoyable one. Yester-
day morning at daylight Mr. Stanton
and his party sailed for the Gulf of
California, which will be reached with
in three days. After running a line
at the mouth of the Colorado river,
Mr. Stanton will return here by team
and will then go to San Diego, leaving
his party to work up the river to
Yuma, where he will rejoin them in a
couple of weeks. The Stanton party
have made good time since leaving Ell
Dorado Canyon; the trip from the
Needles to Yuma was made in three
days and from Ehrenberg in one day.
Mr.. Stanton did not give any light on
the proposed line of railroad, probably
reserving his views for the considera
ton of his company.

a Great Discovery.

A late Augusta Georgia press
dispatch announces that William
E. jackson, a we'll known lawyer
of that city, has solved the jute bag
ging problem that has agitated cot
ton circles for so long. Mr.. Jack
son, it is asserted, has perfected
mechanical appliances for making
the bagging from the cotton stalks,
and has just returned from New
York with a roll Of bagging.
Expert cotton men say that it is
in every respect equal to cotton
bagging. He will utilize the bare
stalks and an annual stalk yield
will bale three years cotton crops.
The machinery comprises heavily
weighted corrugated rollars with
watts of running water, carding ma
chimes and bagging looms.
1t is estimated that in making
the bagging from cotton stalks, two
millions of dollars annually will 90
into the pockets of farmers for
what is now cleared from the land
as rubbish.
In connection with the above
alleged discovery, the SENTINEL de-
sires to call the attention of the
public to the fact that wild hemp
grows luxuriantly on the Colorado
river bottom lands, and as a textile
plant is very valuable. 1t requires
but little labor to cut immense
quantities Of wild hemp, the fiber
OF which is long, strong and elastic,
and if the machine as claimed
above has been invented which
can successfully separate the fiber
from the stalk Of the cotton plant,
the discoverer had better come to
Yuma county and take hold of the
wild hemp business. The quantity
which grows every season amounts
to thousands of tons and it is ONLY
a question of a short time when
the great textile plant-wild hemp
will be manufactured not only
INTO bagging but also finer pro-
iM"ts.

The case OF tie Territory of Ari-
IONA against Commissioners P. r.
Brady and Halleck, Superintendent
J. H. Behan and secretary Jos. J.
Stein, was heard by Judge J. H. Kib
hey on Monday last. Attorney General
Clark Churchill represented the Terri
tory; the defendants were represented
by Honorables w. H. Barnes and Web
ster Street. After over-ruling several
demurrers and allowing the defense to
Tile amended answers, the case was
brought to a sudden halt by the attor-
neys for the defendants raising the
point of jurisdiction, they claiming
that the trial had to take place at the
capital of the Territory. Judge
Kibbey reserved his ruling until the
following Thursday and court was
thereupon adjourned. On Friday copies
of new complaints and summons were
served on, the defendants notifying
them that the case will be tried in
Phoenix, some time next month.

Judges Barnes and Porter have
mandamus case in the supreme court
against Auditor Hughes in which they
seek to,recover 500 per month each
as provided in the appropriation bill
Of the legislature of 1887. The case
was argued on last week. The question
involved is the constitutionality of
the veto of Governor Zulick at the

a clause in the appropriation bill
directing the payment of 500 monthly
to each of the judges as additional
salary to that allowed by Congress

Secretary Proctor has submitted to
the Indian Department proposition
to enlist 1000 Indians in the regular
army. 1t is proposed to officer the
regiment with graduates from West
Point, the subordinate grades to be
filled by pupils who have been educa-
ted at eastern military schools. The
details of the plan have not yet been
fully matured, but it is the opinion
of the secretary that Indians can
be received into the regular army in a
separate regiment, both to their own
advantage and to that of the govern
ment.

THE NEW SCHOOL BUILDING

No little discussion has been caused
over the proposed action of the school di-
rectors of this district. 1t is understood
that they. or AT least two of them. favor
the location of the new school building
on the unplatted tract in the extreme
eastern limits of the city, where the pop
ulation at PRESENTS very much scattered.
and where there is no real necessity
for school building. This proposed loca-
tion eXcites such unfavorable comment
that the HERALD feels called upon TO
caution the school directors against max
ing any move in the matter without first
ascertaining how the citizens feel about
il. There is urgent need for a school
building in the southern portion of the
city. The new building just completed at
the corner Of Fourteenth and Douglas
streets is far too small to accommodate
the pupils who have already applied for
membership, and the principal has been
Obliged to limit the attendance to one
half dav. 50 that all may have the benefit
of at least a partial attendance. But "a

the directors have under consideration

condition Of the Douglas street school in

natterng to the people Of Fairhayen. All
things considered. We have accomplished
more than any other city in the same
length of time and can point out our
growth. our beautiful and costly resi-
donces and well furnished stores. our
mills, our railroads. our hotels,
our churches, our schools and our streets
with pride of which we need not feel
ashamed. With all this accomplished. we
yet need many things still calling for the
exercise of that push and energy and
faith in our future which have SO justly
characterized our people in the past.
Our city would be greatly improved by
a little paint mot red. There are too
many buildings not painted. OF course
this is due in great pnrt to the difficulty
OF procuring such work to be performed
as rapidly as the building progresses.
There is a good field here for that class of
, labor.
we think also that the planting of trees
in the residence portion of the city should
soon be made compulsory. Trees are
great beautifers. The trees are the
chief beauty of the earth" They are
also healthful and great protection
against the spread of fire.
We are beginning to need more school
room. Don't neglect TO provide light,
airy and comfortable rooms for the edu-
cation of the children.
We need foundry. Induce
some one TO come and establish it,.
We want more of the island trade Or
ganize company, buy or build boat
and secure it. No steps have yet been
taken TO secure park and that is an i'm
portant matter. Lands are cheap now as
compared with what they will be in a
few years. besides we are losing time in
the matter Time does much toward
identifying park grounds, anG we need it
already.
We want some good drives into the
country. Our city is surrounded by lakes
and valleys and mountain peaks. and no
good way 10 reach them. With the vast
amount of work we do We should combine
some pleasure, and our facilities now for
doing so are too limited.
That chamber Of commerce is not yet in
running order Ii ought to be, and we
shall not quit our lectures upon the sub
ject until il shall be. There are not
houses enough for the people who are
here. What will we DO with those who
are coming unless we build? There is
neither business house nor dwelling
vacant. The investments in building
yield good returns. and every building
erected makes demands for more because
it encourages people to come, and to stay
when they arrive.

CONCRETE BELLAMYlsM

The Globe Democrt of st. Louis has
been advised that a colony of. southern
and western people who have read Look
ing Backward and been converted to
Bellamyism will essay a concrete realiza-
ton of that ingenious dream. They have
purchased a tract of land near the pretty
little city of Lake Charles, in southwest
em Louisiana, where they will establish
a communistic colony into which the
worm Of competition shall enter not at
all. but everything shall be harmony and
cooperation. Upon these principles the
new paradise is to be administered:
Man alone is nothing but savage. He
can support existence. and that is all. IL
is only in and through society that he can
obtain wealth and culture. Wealth is the
