prise was taken yesterday, when there
 was fled in the County Clerks office the complaint in an action begun in the Superior Court by the San Diego Yuma and Phoenix Railroad against the San Diego Land and Town Company ct al, for right-of-way from San Diego to the Colorado River The complaint is voluminous document of thirty-one legal cap pages, and sets out that it is the pur- pose of the San Diego, Yuma and Phoenix Railroad Company to build from this city to point on the Col orado River near Yuma, along what is known as the "old Texas Pacific route" and that right-of-way of 100 feet in width is desired in building the road. The corporation seeks to condemn certain pieces and parcels of land lying along the proposed route, and all of which land is owned by the persons named as defendants to the action. The plaintiff prays that in due time and in accordance to law the court make an order authorizing the plaintiff to take possession of and use for the purposes set forth in the complaint all and singular of the portions of each and every of tke tracts and parcels described as required for right-of-way, and upon final hearing of the action, condemn the said lands for the purposes of right-of- way for the San Diego, Yuma and Phoenix Railway"

Deep Water For Arizona.

The legislature passed concurrent resolution requesting the president of the United States to open friendly negotiations with the republic of Mex ico, looking to such re-adjustment of the international boundary as will give Arizona a safe and commodious harbor near the head of the gulf of California and secure to citizens of the United States participation in the vast and valuable fishing privileges of the gulf.
 The subject is one of profound importance to Arizona, as 1t is feft here that railroad construction would certainly and promptly follow the establishment of United States port near the head of the gulf of California which would greatly promote the development of all the natural re- sources of Arizona.
 There are great harbor facilities in Pincate bay point in view. The straightening of the line from Nogales westward would give Pincate bay to Arizona. The original Gadsden treaty provided that the line terminate twenty miles south of the mouth ol the Colorado river, but this was inadvertently changed in the engrossed and ratified copy to twenty miles south of the mouth of the Gila river.
 This mistake has robbed Arizona O a deep-water harbor, and such DOT as would develop the whole west coas of Mexico, and give great value t. immense resources now neglected anC useless.

THE property owners on Maln Street should meet and decide upon the grade of the street, and then place the matter before the Common Coun- cil and have the grade of the street established by law. No less than six good brick buildings are now con- templated, before the close of the year. With the grade established, each building can be built to grade, and no inconvenience or trouble will be had in the future, whereas, if the street is left without an established grade, each building will have 8 different grade. Our business men should take this matter in hand ct once, and decide it.

IT is to be greatly regretted that the Phoenix Republican should allow itself to publish such an article as it did, relative to Hon. G. w. Cheyney, and his work as a Councilman in the last Legislature. Referring to MT. Cheyney the Re- publican said: "Hypocrites and demagogues should be exposed, even if they are masquerading in Republican clothing" The writer of the malicious article knows better. He well knows that Mir. Cheyney is neither demagogue nor a hypocrite, and that the statement that he is such is unjust an untrue. Mir. Cheyney is too we'll known as & conscientious, careful and straightforward man, as an earnest worker for the best interests of the district he repre- sents, and for those of the whole Territory; to be injured by such an article, which could only originate in the bile and jealousy of its author.

PrOsperTtE for All.

The good work of the Associated Press in presenting the industrial affairs of Arizona to the millions of newspaper readers all over this land is augmented by the kindly written words of the editorial writers of the press regarding the resolutions adopted by the Territorial Legislature on the deep harbor question, The Los An geles Times makes these pertinent comments:
 "The enterprising policy adopted by Arizona Is well illustrated by the proposal of negotiations with Mexico to secure harbor facilities at Pincate Bay, at the head of the gulf of Calif- ornia. It would undoubtedly contrib ute largely to the prosperity of the Territory to thus secure a direct out let to the ocean. While Los Angeles aspires to be the commercial entrepot of Arizona on the Pacific, we see no call for the manifestation of Q mean or selfish spirit toward this effort of the Territory to secure her own port. We have hitherto announced the belief that there Is prosperity enough in store for all, and greater measure is to be secured by a general policy of development than for one section to try to hold back another. Let Ari- zona establish competitive port at the head of the gulf, if possible, and we venture the opinion that the busi- ness of our California ports will be stimulated thereby. Competition is the life of trade and the greatest draw back of the Pacific Coast thus far has been that it has failed to get its just share of competition.

THE Tucson Citizen well says, that: "No man in the United States has done more for silver than Senator Teller during his relentless warfare against Wall street and the gold bugs of the east, and all the silver producing States and Territories are deeply indebted to Senator Teller for the in telligsnt warfare he has waged ir their behalf. It is understood that his arduous labors during the prolonged monetory fight has impaired his phy- sique and that the present trip IS taken for the recuperation of his health.
 Colorado has just cause to be proud of her Senator and Tucson will wei come his coming, and regrets that his stay must necessarily be so brief"

The officers of the Boundary line Commission survey, on their trip to the Tenejas Atlas last week, found 17 trails in 12 miles, east of the tanks, which were well worn, and fresh with tracks from present use. Two men with four pack animals came to the tanks for water. When asked as to whether they were prospectors or not, they would not say @ word. It looks as if they might be smugglers, con- nected with the three or four small contraband schooners that are known to be in the gulf near the mouth of the Colorado.
