ACCORDING to the following which we clip from the Tucson Star, this county is entitled to several repre- sentatives in the International Irri- gation Congress. In addition to the six delegates appointed to the International Irrigation Congress, which assemblies at Los Angeles, California, on the 10th of October, the following bodies are entitled to two representatives. Each probate court, each university or college where irrigation engineering is taught, each chamber of commerce. Each agricultural or horticultural association has the right to appoint two delegates for each one hundred members or fraction thereof, and each corporation formed for the purpose of promoting irrigation is entitled to one member. The mayor of each incorporated city having a population of 2,500 or more, and the chief of each state, agricultural or other institution are entitled to seats, with the power to select sub- stitutes. The importance of the convention need not be dwelt upon. Every man who is interested ill the welfare of Arizona knows what the reclamation of the arid lands means to the Territory, and what it means to the states and territories west of the Mississippi valley. It is the first time that such a gathering has received the official recognition of the National Government, and the first time that representatives of foreign governments will be pres ent. 1t IS, therefore, earnestly to be hoped that those entitled to ap- point delegates will. as soon as they receive official notification of their power, avail themselves of the priv ilege, and by choosing men who can attend and who will be we'll quail. fled to represent the best interests of the Territory on the occasion.

A DISPATCH from San Diego dated the 16th instant, says: All work has been stopped on the San Diego and Phoenix railroad. This is in pur- suance of an order from President Reed, and several circumstances caused it. The main cause is at tributed by Reed to the apathy of the people of San Diego. AS an in stance he cites the offer of one of the prominent capitalists, who promised to subscribe as much az any one of a dozen men, and who, when the time came, backed up his word lo the extent of $5. The idea of popular subscriptions of $1 per mile was approved by Reed, but he claimed that the total thus far se- cured was less than should have been subscribed by any one capi-- talist. Three and one-half miles of track are laid. and grading has been completed for considerable distance further.

Milt Brawley was arrested Sum- day night by Sheriff Murphy on 8 warrant sworn out by J. L. Ward. Brawley hired rig from MT. Ward Saturday morning and drove to Tempe where he was arrested for being drunk and for fast driving. He was subsequently, released from custody up there and when he came to Phoenix, instead of taking the rig home he left it on the street, where it was picked up with the horse in most deplorable condi- tion from hard driving and misuse. He was taken before Justice Whar- ton yesterday morning and bound over in the sum of 5000 to appear for trial this afternoon. In default of bonds he went to jail.-Phenix Gazette.

The indications point today to one of the largest crops of sugar cane ever harvested by the planters of Louisiana. The yield of sugar last year, in round numbers, had been set down by a conservative and we'll informed sugar dealer as 450.000,000 pounds. The same au- thority, from the present outlook, says that the yield this year may confidently be expected to reach the very handsome total of 550,000,000 pounds. This wonld be an increase in yield of fully 100,OOO,OOO pounds over the crop harvested last year. The yield in fact may be said to be the greatest which Louisiana has ever produced.-New Orleans Times Democrat.

Cattle are plentiful, much more so than one would believe who has not observed the ranges. An ab- sence of COWS is one of the pecu- liar features of the bands of cattle that dot the hills. This is account ed for by the fact that nearly all succumbed to the tough seasons of '91 and '92 while the steers wealth cred the blasts and are now in prime condition.

Many senators on both sides are much frightened" Many newspapers in the east, both Re- publican and Democratic, which are, perhaps, under the pay of Wall street, have been stigmatizing the friends of silver as outlaws. If the above dispatch is true, this cry is simply that old. worn-out dodge of crying "stop thief" The gold spec ulators must be getting desperate, indeed, when they threaten to re- sort to the anarchist method of carrying their point.

Very encouraging are the advices received from St. Louis and other western cities where work is being resumed in a large number of fac- tories, foundries and mills that were frightened into closing some months ago by the commercial depression which has prevailed throughout the summer. In St. Louis alone 12,00O have returned to work during the last week and every line of whole sale trade reports increasing orders. Nor is the improvement confined to the west; for a similar revival is re- ported at Troy and in other centers of industry, both in this state and in Massachusetts. Indeed, the as- pect of affairs is decidedly encour- aging.-New York Tribune.

The cattle sold Preston Nutter are now stringing out on the trail from Blackberry to Scanlon's ferry on the Colorado river. It is report ed that he has made pretty close cut, which is perhaps partly due to the fact that he has a long drive to make and part of the route is said to be over long stretches of barren country. At the river he will re- ceive and pay for the cattle. The destination of the cattle is Straw berry valley on the Uintah Indian reservation, in the northeast corner of Utah, near the Colorado line.- Mineral Wealth.

Another bloody deed to record from Valencia county. A young Mexican by the name of Bias Luna killed his aunt at Barelas, a pros- porous settlement near Belen on Friday last. The aunt, whose name was Venceslada Silva, had come to visit her sister, and had a child asleep in her arms when her nephew attacked her, lodging three bullets in her. body; then, tearing the child from the wounded woman's arms he jumped on her and trampled her head into a jelly.

The people of Florence are complaining because the cattlemen of Pima do not take care of their stock, but al- low them to range over the country destroying other peoples property. It was this circumstance which compelled the people of this vicin- ity to take advantage of the no-fence law.

But little is said now about the Sherman act being the cause of the panic and the consequent distress. Even the advocates of the repeal measure cease to appeal to Mir. Cleveland's bugaboo with which he attempted tofrighten congress into passing the repeal bill and the country into accepting it. It is generally conceded that it had other causes. If that is the case it would seem that as patriots con- gross should first provide relief for the suffering industries of the coun- try and then consider the question of repeal. But, no, Wall Street in- terests are paramount and must be given preference over those of the people.-Mineral Wealth.
