We are waiting patiently to hear of
the confirmation Of Hon. II. r. Jeffords.
Bob Paul and Judge Kibby. When
they are confirmed, Arizona, for good
officers, VIII be particularly fortunate.
No attempt, has been made to defeat
Judge kibby, and such as have been
made to defeat the confirmation of
worthy gentlemen like Messrs Jetfords
and Paul, viii, as in the case Of Judge
Sloan, return TO plague the inventors.
We wonder how such ducks must feel
when they learn that notwithstanding
their great influence" malicious. mis-
representations, and financial contribu-
tons to the Jackpot of envy, the end
sought was not accomplished. Men OF
small caliber should not undertake big
things.

THE bursting of the Walnut Grove
dam is calamity, unparalleled in the
annals of Arizona, and deep indeed, will
be the sympathy Of our people with the
unfortunates who suffered by the flood.
The dam was credited with having been
a substantial structure, built on the
most approved scientific methods of the
day, and at cost of nearly a million
dollars. This outlay, however, is tri
vial in comparison with the loss of life
and property involved in its destruc-
ton. The number of the dead, now
placed at sixty, will never be known, as
many bodies were torn to atoms by the
seething waters and accompanying de-
bris, and others Will be buried be-
meath the settings of the food. The
breaking of this dam, and the one at
JoEnstown, both pioneers in the water
storage proposition, will have a decided
effect on future enterprises of the kind
in the west.

JUDGE SLOAN received a telegram yes
day morning conveying the pleasing III
formation that his nomination had been
confirmed by the Senate. This is a
just rebuke to the small coterie of sore
headed politicians who have made such
vicious and uncalled for fight against
him. 1t is especially gratifying to
Judge Sloan's many warm friends. By
his confirmation Arizona gains an up
right Judge, one who cannot be control
led by any ring or clique and who Will
impartially and honestly administer
the law, more than which no one can
ask.

We threw matches over tied to stone,
from which he built fire and warmed
himself, when we motioned to him to go
up stream.
HE did so and we assisted him over,
He stated while himself and partners
had previously been afraid the dam
would break, they felt no fear whatever
taiS time. During the night they were
awakened, and he heard one OF his part
nerS eXclaIm: My God what Is that?"
and never heard or saw him or the 9th
ers again. The next moment he was
raised to the roof of the cabin which
went whiriing around in the top of an
eddy. Then the roof was struck by a
big wave and driven against the bluff,
where he caught hold of some bushes
and drew himself out of the water He
called and holloed for his companions
but the only answer was the laundering
roar of the torrent"
Continuing his own story, Moore said
after rescuing Parker, we continued
our search, but found nothing but dead
fish and evidences OF. greatest deyasta-
ton. In q little creek, a tributary to
the Hassayampa, on the east side could
be seen where the water had backed up
several hundred feet, and marks on the
hills showing it to have been 100 feet
deep.
'froiTers of assistance from outside of
town have already been received, but
the present wants of the survivors have
been amply supplied. Goods in ad-
dltion to those probably were forward
ed from Prescott to-day, while tele-
gram from Phenix announces that aid
in the shape OF clothing and provisions
had been sent from that place.
''One man was seen to start for place
of safety, and seeing escape was impos-
sible, turned his face to the flood to
meet his fate. Nothing was seen of
him after the flood struck him. Anoth-
er man was seen gong up a steep hill
and had reached n point about 90 feet
above the level Of the river bank, when
the mighty volume of water struck N d

ing living for public officials who seel office, but should be restricted abso lately to just compensation for actua services rendered, and we sincerely deprecate and shall resist the growing tendency of our territory to increase the burden Of tie taxpayers beyond the actual necessity of providing fer fail remuneration for honest amd officieLt public servants, and ve believe it to be the duty of the republican party to ad dress itself forthwith to diminishing tax ation hy cutting of all needless offices and reducing public expenditures to the lowest point consistent with all honest and efficient administration of the law. II. The principles of republicanism require thepalty to foster and encourage every industry which tends to give vital ity and prosperity to tie whole territory, ly wise, judiyious legislation, where, y the interests of labor and capital shall be equally protected.
 12. The defalcations which have arisen in the territory in the accounts of democratic officials appointed to office under democratic rule should inspire the people of the territory with the gray est caution in again intrusting the power of government to ofi:ial5 electe or appointed by the democratic party or its rulers, and we direct the attentioh of the taxpayers and the people at large t. the deficit of S5,700 in the account Of the democratic commissioners of the ter ritorial prison; to tie large and rnad- justed balance due the territory from the late Secretary Bayard, in the ad- ministration of his office, and to the ap palling deficiency in the accounts of Fred w. Smith, late recei> CT of the United States land office, at Tucson, and to the serious injuries and embarrass- ments resulting therefrom to the settlers on our pubHc lands.

This con- -,nittee was appointed on May 3rd, 1890, four months ago.

As the new law requires all who may desire to vote to take out their final papers, it will be found to be great convenience, As court will only remain in session two days, it will be necessary for all who desire their final papers to put in an appearance at the time designated.
