Flooding of Pima Wheat Fields.

Tle Pimas and Maricopas in the bot tom lands of the Gila are in fair way to have their crops entirely destroyed. It Is doubtful if one Indian farm in ten is above high water mark. The grain is almost entirely spring wheat, but lately planted, and the crop would be utterly ruined were the fields to be over flowed. Such being the case, the Government will have to start the ration system on the reservations by next summer.

A Point That interests Applicants
tor Saloon Ljcens AN Amend
ing Act That Does not
Seem to Amend.

Considerable excitement exists among
people of town who have applied for saloon
lie nses for next year and have prepared
their applications under the amending Act
passed by the Legislature LIST June.
The excitement has been caused by a
question raised by T. r. Beddall, Esq,
who has discovered that that part of the
business transacted by the Legislature is in
a muddled condition.
The point made by Mr.. Beddall is that
the amending Act of June 10, 1891, is null
and void, as it fails to amend anything.
An Act of May 10, 1887, provides that
the surety on the bond of an applicant for
retail license shall be mo less than two
reputable freeholders of the l0ard or to,0n.
ship where the liquor is to be sold"
The supposed amending Act of June 49,
1891, provides that the surety shall be "nc
less than two reputable freeholders of the
county where the liquor is to be sold"
But the preamble of this Act rectes that il
is an amendment ito the 5th and 8th sec
tionS of the Act of May "a, 1887"
The Act relating to licenses passed on
May "a, 1887, relates to wholesale dealers
and has but three sections, therefore the
supposed amending Act cannot relate to it.
The Act relating to retail licenses,
passed in 1884, was enacted on May 1871
A large number of people in town have
applied under the June law, as they found
it very convenient. Some living in one
ward have secured residents of another
ward as their sureties, while others have
presented their applications with the names
of residents of other towns as their bonds.
men.
If Mr.. Beddalps point is held to be q
good one many applicants will be put to
considerable trouble to prepare new appi-
cations. One said to HERALD reporter
yesterday "If that law of last June is no
good it will put me in hole. could have
secured two bondsmen in my own ward,
but concluded to get more intimate
