HE enormous business transacted by the Southern Pacific railroad may be understood by the following figures made public by Col. Crocker few days since. The Southern Pacific railroad, says he, has surplus of SlS5, ,295 for the first six months of this year, and this is the very first time that We have made money in 8 corresponding period. From the Pacific system during the month of June we rece.ved S3,1l9,354, and in the Atlantic system s932, ,626, making a total of S4,051 ,960, while last year in these systems in the. same month We made only S3,S97 ,495, which gives us an in- crease of sl54 ,4SS over last year. Our operating expenses that month were Sl,74l, ,257 in the Pacific system and S752, Al in the Atlantic, giving a total of S2,493,704, against total last year of g, ,546, ,032, leaving a decrease of S52, BPS During the past six months the rail- roads earnings have been $16,677, ,635 for the Pacific system and S5,933, ,896 for the Atlantic, giving total of S22, ,611. .531. Of course this includes all the steamship lines and the New Orleans branches. Last year the first six months brought in S21 ,600,6 ,662 only, which gives Rn in- crease of sl, ,0l0.S69. The operating ex- penses were Sl0,2O4,44S in the Pacific system and 54, ,652, ,228 in the Atlantic, giving total of sl4, ,S56,676. Last year the total operating expenses were Sl5,- 506,2 ,253, or just s649,577 more.

SCHOOL MATTERS,
Bonds to be Asked of the Voters-De-
 tails-Bids Opened:

School trustees of Tucson are show ing activity during the past months in forwarding of measures of safety and economy.
 They held an important session Sstur- day night, at which the bids for the erection of water works were presented and found of so varied character that it was Impracticable to award them. There were three bids for the we'll, to be '6p feet deep or to sufficient water"
 Chas. Stout bld S10 per foot.
 D. Dunham bid s495 for the well.
 US. Scriviner bid 5000 fer the we'll.
 But one bid was presented for the construction of the tank-W. J. Cor bett's, ID the sum of S275.
 4 bid for the construction of water works complete was put in by Hoff Bros. in the sum of S2375, with a 12 foot Aermotor.
 As water is now costing s22.5O a month, with sufficient unobtainable, the board will push the work through, and award bids very soon.
 Ia another column of today's issue the CITIZEN publishes a call for a special election to be held Tuesday, September 1st, under act 16 of the late legislature, that the voters of school district No. may vote for or against bonds in the sum of slO,OOO for twenty years, interest at per cent. MT. Strauss of the school board gives full details leading to the move. Said he:
 'The taxpayers of the north end of town request that Q school house be built in that portion of the city, that their smaller children may find an available school, the present being very distant. The district owns a very suit able lot in the vicinity. In the south end of town the district has a very suc- cessful school in charge of Miss Borton, held in cramped quarters, and unsuit- able for school purposes, for which the district has paid S15 month and now pays S10 month. The entire attend ance of this school is Mexican, many of whom would not attend the public school. The district also owns lot in the south end of town very suitable for school purposes.
 'In view of these facts the board deems it advisable that loan be asked on twenty years time, the interest of which-S6O0 ayear-would never be felt. At present the expense with insufficient school room-for the primary depart ment at the man school is overcroWded -is $270 year for water, of which we need much more, and S120 year for rent. With the loan we can build spac- lous, well-hghted school houses of two rooms each, own our own water works and save rent.
 'Our ultimate object is to make the main school grammar school, the sup schools to be primary"

IN ARMY AND NAVY.

THE United States navy has paper boat.
 A TORPEDO net constructed of inter- locking steel rings is soon to be put to a practical test
 THE Italian army contains nearly two million men, or, to give the exact figures, 1928, org. Among them are 35,- 900 Alpine soldiers, trained and inured to the hardships of mountain warfare.
 BESIDES keeping dogs to watch over camps the German army is training them to hunt for soldiers hidden in the woods and fields, so that after battle the wounded might all be found and brought in.
 GERMASY's new dispatch boat Meteor is, excluding the torpedo boats, the fastest craft ahOat. Her length is 262 feet, width 31 feet, draught 15 feet, with $50 tons displacement. Her engines de- velop 5000 horse power, and at full speed she goes 24 knots an hour.
 THERE are not enough graduates from West Point this year to fill the vacancies of commissioned officers in the regular army, and not enough applications to supply the required number of cadets for next year. It looks as if our young men were not embracing the military profession with very great ardOr.

THE Yuma Times registers a "kick' against the management of the Mohawk canal company. or the merits or de- merits of this company personally, we know nothing, but if the complaints referred to be true, the franchise of the company should be snnulled. We be- lieve in protecting the interests of com panIes who have money invested in such enterprises, but they must be loyal to their contracts. Other people have interests that must be respected. The settler who has too often invested bis little all in the purchase of water shares that were delivered only in promises, can be found in every agricultural com munity in the territory. Whole town ships of land have been located under projected ditcbes that were never built, and money, hard earned and penurlous ly saved, has been turned into the co1ers of the company who never fulfill. ed promise. Not only does the victim lose his savings but he uses hIs right toslocate under the desert land law and bis deposit of D cents an acre at the time he made such location. The matter Is worthy of legislative action. A bill should be carefully prepared that woulj guarantee to all their just rights, with sufficient power behind to see such rights enforced.

THE CITIZEN acknowledges with pleasure the receipt of 8 complimentary ticket to the 11th annual fair of New Mexico Exposition snd Driving Park association, which will be held in Albu- querque, September next, commencing On the 14th and ending on the 18th. These expositions given annually do much to attract attention to the re- sources of our sister territory and could be patterned by Arizona with great profit. AS We note, the board of directors, vice president and executive committee. are made up of representative men of the entire territory, representing not less than 26 different towns. No one portion of the country appears to be favored at the expense of the rest of the territory. This is as it should be and is the only true method by which such affairs can be made what they purport to be, an exhibit of the resources of the entire territory.

ELSEWHERE We publish an analysis of the Santa Cruz river water made by Pref. Collingwood, of the university. The water, it will be seen, while slightly alkaline, contains DO organic matter, but is absolutely pure from such class Of impurities. This analysis by Prof. Collingwood will do much to disabuse the minds of many of our citizens, par ticulsrly new corners, in regard to the character of the water with which the town is supplied. The fact that the water contains no organic matter is a matter of fcongratulation and which may be largely attributed to the watchful care of the water company whose system of storage is perfect. A visit to the reservoirs six miles north of town, is not only pleasant drive but will evil dence that fact. Superintendent Watts is entitled to the thanks of our citizens for his efforts to supply them with pure water,

IT is 9 well known fact that natural ice-that Is ice taken from frozen streams-contains all the impurities with which the water may have been inpregnated at the time of freezing On the other hand artificial or manu- factured ice is purs ana free from ali forms of disease breeding germs. The water iR first generated into steam and then condensed to water, which is sb- solutely pure. From this the artificial ice is formed. Distilled water purchased sta drug store cannot te more pure, or free from deleterious matter than arti- ficially made ice. It is in fact nothing more nor less than distilled water solidi fled in all Its purity.
