Phenix Herald.

W. A. Parish, Jr, of the U. s. Geo. logical survey, IS in from Salt river. He has charge of Arizona's hydrography gen erally, and will determine the rainfall, an- nual river flow, evaporation, extent of ir- Tlyd5le lands iar1ds; reservoir sites and kindred questions considered by this de partment Of government service.
 His measurements of Verde and Salt rivers were interrupted last year by floods the cable used in ferrying his boat being carried away at critical period, so that the results of his seasons work on Salt river were lost entirely, while he himself had to rustic pretty lively for shore.
 On the Gila he succeeded in establish ing stations so that valuable data were obtained. This year he expects to be more fortunate on the Salt river and Verde streams, and will use a cage in crossing the former, for greater facility of movement and security to himself and the various instruments used.
 Just now all but absolutely necessary work Is suspended, and the appropriation having run out and the new one not yet being available. In fact these so-called appropriations are the chief obstacles II the path of satisfactory work. While Major Powell, may secure, as Senator Stewart says, princely sums, only the smallest subdivision thereof finds its way to Arizona Northern states and terri tories on the Pacific coast have thus fal been most favored.
 Nevertheless, with only one assistant MT. Parish pushes his investigations along the banks of the above and other streams, making the most of his limited opportunities
 Those interested in irrigation through out the territory can materially aid hin by supplying facts as to land reclaimablt thereby, and as to the best sites for reser voirs. He invites communications oI these and kindred topics. Letters ma! be addressed to him at Phenix.

A correspondent sends the following Items to the Lordsburg Liberal:
 Three religious services were held in Duncan last Sunday, prayer meeting in the morning, preaching service in the afternoon and service in the evening The services were conducted by Rev. Furneoux. Although the heat was in tense the preacher was encouraged in his work by large audiences in the after noon and evening.
 There are not many Gila monsters in the vicinity of Duncan; one was captured not long since and taken to Silver and it IS hoped the monster will be taken to Yuma and from thence to Sheol where it will find congenial society
 1t Is a time of trial and tribulation for catttlemen and ranchmen along the Glla. The river Is dried up in stretches ofthree, four and seven miles. A tiny rev alst IS seen this summer when last season a broad and deep stream gladdened heart sof ranchmen and cattlemen. Groups of de- jected looking cattle are gathered round slimy pools and the air in many places is poisoned by the stench of hundreds of carcasses. With heads stretched out you see them, where they have perished not for want of water but for grass, under the shade of immense cottonwood trees, at the foot of a cactus and mesquite here and there along the embanhment and in the river bed.
 The shutting down of Carlisle was a great loss to Duncan and vicinity. It is thought, however under the management of John A. Miller, Carlisle mill in the near future will produce more bullion and employ more miners that at any period of his past history. Universal re- gret prevails especially with the ladies on account of Noah Green leaving the mail contract for that from Sheldon to Solo monville. Mir. Green is popular with every one and deserves his popularity He IS courteous, honest reliable and obliging particularly to the fair sex. Long may be remain in Graham county and may his shadow never grow less.

Death of E. Ii. Hereford.

In our sad duty to record the death of our esteemed fellow citizen, Benjamin H. Hereford, which occurred ill Kansas City on the 2nd inst He left here a short time ago for medical treatment in the east, and at the time of his demise was under the care of his brother. MT. Hereford was born in Mississippi in 1880, and when quite young removed with his parents to Missouri. In 1S4S, being in delicate health, he went to Chihuahua. Mexico, where he remained for oyer a year under the care of Doctor Samaniego. Recovering his health he returned California in 1S49. He held the offices to Missouri from whence he started for of clerk of the county court, and ex- otficio clerk of the Board of Supervisors of Sacramento county, California, for a number of years, during which time he studied law, and was afterwards admitted to practice. lie then removed to the state of Nevada where he was for some time Tn the employ of the great bonanza com pany He came to Arizona about IA | years ago, and has ever been more or less identified with this Territory in an official | capacity.

at least. had separated itself from these minor and miserable considerations and had got it's consent to stand up and look the questions of the future in the face and to shape the destiny of this great country according to its political and geographical necessities and the rights and interests of its people. That Is what we ought to do. Now that we have the opportunity we ought to show to the peo- pie of the United States that we consider their welfare in the future and the bal ance of power among the States as being of far greater consideration than the re- election of MT. Harrison, for instance, to the Presidency.
 But Arizona stays out. So far as 1 can see now, Arizona has no prospect of being admitted as State into the Union. 1t seems that we want upon our Mexican border there bowling wilderness; that We want a place where smugglers can tramp across the line and Indians can come and invade us without resistance. It seems that we want place down there that shall draw no trade from the great and rich resources of Northern Mexico, which Is cut off from access to the sea, at least from access to the Atlantic coast entirely, and which will pour in its pro ductions upon the great railroad that we have built through there and seek an exit at San Diego or New Orleans.
 It seems, sir, that we want everything in respect of these Territories to remain in statu quo until they can come into the Senate with pledge of political support for the party that happens to be in power, whether it Is Democratic or whether 1t is Republican. Any one of those Territor ies could be admitted here to-day by a Republican House and Senate or by a Democratic House and Senate when they would give a reasonable security to the Congress of the United States that their vote in the next Presidential eleo- tion would be in accord with the prevail ing sentiment of the party that might have the power in the Government.
 We'll, I deplore it. 1 think, Mir Presi- dent, that 1t Is unworthy. l think there ought to be an indication on our part of a higher view of our duty than that. We tried to set better precedent here in this body when we voted for the admission of four States into this Union, believing that every one of them would be Repub- lican, and so 1t turned out. But you have selected now two States, Wyoming and Idaho, and the voting down of the amendment of the Senator from Arkansas of course means. as we know it is already decreed, that the Territory of Wyoming is to be admitted into the Union, so far as Congress is concerned, before night fall. We understand that perfectly; and in trying to state objections to it l am merely calling attention to the desperate exigency which seems to pervade the majority party ill the Senate to force them to Yote against what I must believe are their personal convictions in many cases, in large numbers of cases, in order that they may get this measure through and get the political influence of this State in the next Presidential election.

Mountain Lions.

Mir A. J Hudson, the well known stockmap Of Ash Creek, reports that mountain lions have become so numerous in that section that unless some means of relief is soon obtained from their depred- ations, they will make it almost impossi- ble for stockmen to continue in business in that region. Young colts are the spec iar prey of the lions, and the loss in this direction alone during the last year amounts to very heavy sum. Mir. Hud- son says that the feeling among the tax payers of that section is unanimous that the bounty on lions scalps should be raised to S25 per scalp, as the sum now paid, $15, does not justify a man in hunt ing them. He also states that, if the county bounty is increased to the amount proposed, the stockmen on Ash Greek and vicinity will raise enough by sub scription to double it in order to encour age war of extermination against tht lions.-Prescott Journal-Miner.

The High School Flag.

A very imposing and impressive cere- mony took place just after the procession drew up.at the parade grounds, on the evening of the 4th. Some time ago Miss Nellie Fowler entered the Youths Com panion essay competition and was reward ed for her efforts with large American flag, which was donated to the Phenix high school. Capt. Andre with squad from company B conveyed the flag to the parade grounds where Lawyer Steiglitz formally presented the flag to Miss Fow- Ter before the regular ceremonies began.
 The sight of this emblem of our coun- try's glory and power, floating from the spire of the high school, should not only remind every youthful patriot of the city of the dead heroes and the consecrated souls that have defended 1t from the peril; of invading armies, but also what tht government has done for us in placing intellectual fruits in the very doorways O even the humblest of her citizens, to he glory and ours,-Phenix Gazette,

There Is some confusion in the public mind as to what condition intending settlers on public lands will find them selves in if proposed legislation by the Powell school of irrigators should pre- vail. Major Powell seems to authorize a statement, which is telegraphed, to the effect that the law as 1t now stands does not withdraw irrigable lands from homestead settlement, but only from desert land entry, timber culture entry and pre-emption entry, All of these lands can still be obtained by homestead entry The law now provides that irri- gable lands shall be selected and desig- mated as such, and as fast as they are designated they are to be declared open to homestead entry by proclamation of the President.
 The two bills are drafted on the theory that land shall be opened to homestead entry as fast as designated by the proclaim ation; but they make this change in the present law: The Began bill reduces a homestead tract to 80 acres, while the Vandever bill cuts it down to 40 acres. Under the present limit of l60 acres, there will be no difficulty experienced in irriga- ting these lands as fast as homesteaders will want to settle them.-Pacifc Rural Press
