A NoGALEs dispatch of recent date says: A miner arrived last night from Arispe, Mexico, and brings the news of the depredations of Kid, the renegade Apache, and party. They killed one prominent Mexican rancher and sacked other ranches and mining camps. The camp of an American named Van Dorn was fired and buildings burn ed. The savages carried off all the goods and supplies. The raid was a complete surprise. The people thought the band were in the Sierra Madres. The prefect of Arispe sent couriers to the ranches to warn the people, and soldiers are in pur- suit of the renegades.

] According to the Tucson Citizen a large shipment of canagrie will planted at the experimental farm near Wilcox, in a''day or two. The roots passed through from the Phe- nix experiment station a day or two ago. With as good results as are expected to follow, the business will be gone into extensively, The Deming extract factory is near enough Wilcox so that profitable shipment could be made there. By the time shipments can be sent, the wild product, on which the fac- tory is now dependent, will practic- ally be gone.

Martin Kelly, the political boss of Saz. Francisco, has just emerged from $65,O00 libel suit against the Examiner of that city, looking as if he had been run through a threshing machine. The newspa- per not only proved its case, but demonstrated by the strongest sort of testimony that Kelly has a rep utation on which charcoal would make white mark. Like most li- bel suits, this one showed up to be more deadly at the breach than at the muzzle.-Gazette.

"It estimated by those in a posi-
 tion to know" says the Texas Live Stock Journal, "that fully 100000 cattle will die in Texas this winter trom starvation. Should the wint- CT be as long and severe as it some times is the death loss will greatly exceed, possibly double, the above figures" This may be so, but we are of the opinion that the state ment, to say the least, is overdrawn, Although some sections of the etate have suffered from drought, and of course range cattle will be more or less affected, it is not probable that the cattlemen of that state will al- low their cattle to stay on the ranges and die when they could get more than the freight for them by ship ping to market.-Stock Grower.

THE principal conclusions drawn by the Los Angeles Irrigation Con- gress, as set forth by it's members and incorporated in in it's platform of principles are as follows:
 1. Water in natural channels and beds is public property. The right of use exists, but not the right of ownership
 2. Water companies are com mon carriers, subject to the super vision and control of the power from which they derive their rights.
 3. Private works of irrigation may be condemned under the ex- ercise of the power of eminent do- main and taken for public uses upon payment of just compensa- tion.
 4. Interstate streams must be conserved and equitably divided among the states which they natu. rally supply, under federal author ity.
 5. The public lands are the her itage of the American people, not the spoil of speculators. There can be no just law for the disposal of these lands, except one that re- cognizes the right of every Ameri- can child to have a home upon them without paying unfair tribute to the capital that reclaims them.
 It will be only by rigidly adher ing to these five fundamental prin- ciples of all water rights, that the arid west is to become the richest section of this great republic. On these principles alone can there be legislation enacted that will forever retain to the people their heritage of a share in the public domain of the United States. Under any broader or more vague principles there would be a chance left for pri- vate corporations to consume the public domain and water, and re- legate the farmer of the irrigated west to mere serfdom.-Stock Grow er-
