THE great advantage of electrical
power at present is that it ca1 be
stored. Neither steam nor water
power in their oldtime form can be
kept for any length of time without
entire loss. Steam becomes cold
water when the fire goes down. As
for water-power there is familiar
song which utters what used to be
thought almost truism, you cannot
run the mill with the water gone by"
That used to be true, but it isn't true
any longer. Put the water power into
the form OF electricity and it can con-
tipue TO run the mill, even after the
stream has reached the ocean, and may
be there used again to store electricity
from the power of the tides The
possibilities of this new electric power
are among the things that might well
make n man wish 20 live a hundred
years hence, or, like benjamin Frank
lin, wish to revisit earth a hundred
years after his death, as Franklin ex-
pressed wish TO do.

You've men are coming to the front
in every department OF business, in
politics and in literature. They do
not at first gain the ripened reputation
that is conceded on all sides to the
older men whom they supercede. But
as they do the work better than the
old men the reputation is only ques-
ton of time The only way for an old
man to hold his owl with the new

they, and if possible even younger.

THE fact has been made known
that Cream, the prisoner recently
hanged in London, was guilty of more
than murder. The day before his ex-

swept out his cell He replied that he
had only swept out the dust, as to
sweep out the cell would be impossible
The grim look that settled then upon
the face of the guard was not dissi-

Superintendent Clark of the Hua- chuca Water Co. states that the i'm pres sion was conveyed in an item appearing in the PRosPEcToR last night that his company had raised the rates on the wash houses since the closing of the city works. He states that his company has not done so and pledges itself to keep the rates at the same price as at present under any and all circumstances. When your washman presents an increased bill for washing |, on account of the "raise in water rates" you just bet him years washing that he cannot produce the evidences of the raise.

THE venerable editor Of the Hua- chuca Sentinel has hard time defen- ding General Miles from recent good natured slap administered by the PRosPEcToR. He evidently had a dream and wrote a few lines before awakening thoroughly from his night mare. He places the PRosPEcToR Tn the light of having said things that were foreign to it's thoughts or utter ances, which is not Christian spirit and our soldier editor pretixes chaplain to his otherwise worldly title. The soldiers of the regular army" have always been treated by the PRosPEcroR and the people with the utmost re- spect and consideration which their positions as guardians of the coun.ry's honor call for from all patriotic citi- zens. If the editor of the Sentinel could five without the atmosphere which blinds his vision and mental capacity from grasping civilian Ideaa, he would probably find out very soon that Miles, Grierson and others who have pulled the strings in the south west, are not thought any more of among the rank and file of the army than they are in civil circles. The editor of the Sentinel condemned in strong terms but recently the proposed stationing of Apache soldiers at Hus- cnuca, but the protest wac of no avail ; the Apaches are there. If during the ensuing summer, this common enemy should, as predicted by the people re- siding in this section, break away from their keepers and kill one or two soldiers or civilians, as we all believe they will do, it would simply carry out the theory of the PRosPEcToR that if there were no post at Huachucs there would be no Apaches stationed there to tcrro1ize ts,e people whs are settled near by. IT were better that no soldiers were stationed in the country than that by their presence another white man should lose his life a: the hands of these wards Of the government. The people do not love them. neither do they love those who ere responsible for their presence among us.

 The Arizona ard Sonora Land and Irrigation company has been organized here and articles of incorporation filed with the secretary of the state. This is one of the strongest organizations of the kind in the country.

This land has a frontage of sixty miles on the southern boundary of Arizona, extending east from the Colorado rivsr and south to the Gulf of California. It is stated that the lands of the company are particularly adapted to the growth of all citrus and semi-tropical fruits. The company will make arrangements to build canal from the Colorodo river to irri- gate their lands. The canal contem- plated will be ninety miles in length and 124 lee; wide, and will be the larg gest upon the continent. It will cost about S3.090. .G0). and will irrigate 100000 acres of land The officers sni directors are wealthy Denver men.
