ROUGH ON THE ENGINEERS,

The increase in the naval fleet and
the change of methods Incidental TO
naval development demand immediate
and important legislation by congress.
Among other remedial measures, says
the San Francisco Report, that
are absolutely necessary is one looking
to an increase in the number of assist
ant engineers. An excellent illustra-
trion of this necessity in furnished by
the cruise OF the gunbcat Yorktown.
The vessel has steamed over 10000 miles
since going into commission, and while
at sea her two assistant engineers have
had 10 stand watch and watch-six
hours on and six hours off. The York
town carries no sail and her engineering
department therefore gets no respite
when the vessel is at sea. And the
assistant engineers are not much better
off when the vessel i in port. Inspec-
tion and repair duties absorb their time
and attention, aud from first 10 last
they have all work and no play. Since
the addition of modern war vessels to
the navy the engineer corps has gained
immense importance, but the import
ance has also brought Notwithstanding
work. Break-downs in the corps have
| become so frequent as to attact little
attention and provoke little comment.

DEMOCRATIC stupidity was never more
strikingly displayed than in the treat
ment of sugar in the tariff bill. As at
present constructed the duty of one
cent pound imposed on raw sugar will
merely enable the sugar trust to make
the consumers pay one cent pound
more for their sugar without largely in
creasing the revenues OF the govern
ment. as about two-thirds OF the sugar
which comes to this country is by
treaty entitled TO free eotry. The sugar
men did not make the discovery until
Senator Voorhees, let the cat out OF the
bag by stating that the repeal OF the
reciprocity clause OF the Mckinley law,
as provided for in the new tariff bill,
will not ahrogate any Of the treaties
made under that law. This, In con-
pection with the knowledge that the
clause of the new tariff till which
abrogatas the commercial treaty with
Hawaii is almost certain to be struck
out in the senate, mas stirred the sugar
men up amazingly, and they are stirring
the democrats up.

LAY figures for fitting on ladies
dresses were invented in France about
1890.
CORsETs have been found on the mum

THE women of the middle ages al
ways parted their hair with small
dagger. When not in use it was car

WIRE hairpins were invented in Eng
land in 1915. Before that time the fe-
male cOiffures were held in place by
fine wooden sllewers.
KID and silk gloves came into use in
Europe about the end of the fifteenth
century. At first only princesses and
ladies of high rank were allowed to
wear them.
FROM 1854 to 1856 the style of hair
dressing in Paris changed seventeen

WHAT stomachs full of consolation
the defunct democracy of Arizona must
draw from the sympathetic platitudes
of the Star over the failure of the demo-
cratic central committee 20 get together
and elect a head. The bogie ot "clique
anG faction is effectively used to
stampede the old war horses who refuse
to stand for little administration
sugar. With a single swipe they are
knocked silly, rebuked for their pre-
sumption, and paralyzed with fear at
the possibility OF q new leader with a
plan to save sinners at a cost of but
fifty per cent of the party. But the
influence OF the Star in the democratic
party at present is an unknown quantity
and a heap of it. It's efforts to repress
the vicious elements in the ranks of
its party is commendable from a re-
publican point of view and we hope to
see more Of it. Let the good work

THE HoNoRAsy EdERfBER.

The recent actiou, says Harper s
Weekly, of the society of California
pioneers IN expelling one of their honor
ary mem bers, Hubert Howe BOncroft,
the historical writer, suggests that some
eminent legal person should give the
world a treatise on the rights and
wrongs of honorary members of socle-
ties and clubs. 1t would appear shat
the ositon of the honorary member
is IN anomalous one. Generally speak
ing, this person is one WHO, for some
alleged merit or service Of his own, has
baen chosen (Without his knowledge or
oonsent) a member Of q grateful or
appreciative organiZation-society club,
or what pct. This honor-foT he is an
honorary member-does not carry with
it a1y active duty of participation in
the doing OF the Organization, or any
responsibility for the payment OF dues
or other similar obligations. But, as We
have seen in the case Of the California
pioneers, the member chosen II honor
NAV ba dismissed in dishonor. Ought
these thi gs So TO be, and he laws Of
LOGIC and common sense stand unviolat-
ed?
The California society is composed OF
men who arrived on the California coast
prior TO January /, 1880, and the
purposes Of the oIganiza'ion are chiefly
confined 10 the collection and preserva-
ton OF records of The early occupation
of the country by Americans. The
male posterity of the pioneers in a direct
lire are eligible 70 memberships; other
wise the society would ultimately be-
come extinct. 1t would appear that Mr..
Bancroft was chosen honorary member
of the California pioneers in recognition
of his labors as a historian of California
and its early settlement. He has been
expelled on account of alleged ISLANDERS
of the old Argonauts contained in said
historical writings. Specifically, it
is stated that Mr. Bancroft in his
history slandered Commodore Stockton.
General John Z. Fremont, John a.
Sutter, and other men famed in song
and story as the builders and makers
OF the state. Did the pioneers elect
Mr.. Bancroft on account of MS books,
and then expel him on recount OF what
those books contained? Did they elect
him first and read his books afterward?
1t would appear so.

A WASHINGTON dispatch of the 2lst.
saws that the estimates of the amount
of revenue under the tariff bill reported
to the senate will probably show the total
amount 20 be about S3S1000,0O0. This is
a reduction Of between S13,OOO,OOO and
Sl4.OO0.OO0 from the estimates IN the
first bill reported to the committee.
The principal reduction is made IN the
internal revenue part of the bill
through a restoration of the present
tax on domestic cigars and cigarettes
which amount to a loss of over SlO,OOO,-

triumph however, is but momentary
as the elections will soon be on and the
greatest and most complete political
overturning the country ever saw will
take place. The lower house, now
arrogantly democratic and time serving,

What is n Miners Inch?

Ths mode of measurement of the
miners inch of water varies in diff
ferent localities. but the accepted
legal measure is that quantity of water
which will flow through an opening of
one square inch in the bottom OF a
vessel under a mean pressure of 4
inches. Fifty of the above miner's
inches IS equivalent to discharge of
one cubic foot of water per second.
To get the number of gallons in
miners inches, multiply the given
number of inches by 1881, pointing
off five decimals. The result will be
the number OF gallons discharged per
second.
To get the MINERS inch in gallons,
divide the number of gallons flow, or
discharge per minute, by S.9766. The
result will be the number of inches
sought.

An IMPORTANT GRANT.
The Calabasas Claim, Which Comes
I'm Monday for Trial.

The most important case with the
exception of the Perslta grant to come
before the land court will be up for
trial before the court Monday morning.
The case is the Calabasas grant.
Tha Calabasas grant covers an area
in the southern part of the country of
irregular form, the extreme length be-
ing twenty-five miles, and the extreme
width fifteen miles. The origin OF the
grant is obscure, but is told to be as
follows:
In 1914 a grant of land was made to
the Tumacacuri Indians and mission
fathers for a mission, by the govern
ment Of Spain, without q consideration.
One condition was that the grant be
reverted to the government in the event
of the abandonment Of tie tract by the
Indians. This did occur subsequently.
IL passed into the hands of Governor
Gaudara, of the state Of Sonora, and
from him was transferred to MS brother
ln-law, the Aguiars. When Gandara
was displaced by Governor Pesquelra
the land again came into the possession
of Gandara. 1t was subsequently sold
to Sax q Curry and at length passed
into the hands of William FdxOn, Jr,
trustee. This transfer came about
through a sale Of bonds, in 1890. Faxon
was trustee for the bondbOlders of the
Santa Rita Land & Mining Co.
So far as can be learned there are no
records of the grant, either in Mexico
or Sonora. This viii be positively
| learned when the case comes up. 1t is
supposed the grant claimants will pro-
ducs witnesses, however, who will
| testify as to the transfers. Ex-Governor
| Pssqueira in 1880 said the Mexican
government did not recognize the grant.
Special Agent Flipper found no papers
relative to the grant.
The land embraced in the boundaries
of the grant is well worth the contest.
In it are seventy farms, nearly all OF
| 100 acres. The valley is mile TO two
miles WIDE. The soil Is fifteen feet deep,
and ineXhaustible. The water supply
is good and tre yield of crops js well up.
| The farms we're taken up by the
| settlers as government land, and have
extensively improved. The dark shadow
of the grant has hung over them these
many years, however, and only the
more courageous have risked going
in there and making it their home.
The settlers are anxious to see the end
of e, and know once for all whether
they will remain without further outlay
for their land or have the grant claim
ants to settle with.
This decision once given and the
whole great doubt over, much more
land in the valley would be taken up
Calabasas parties claim that 2OGO people
would settle in the valley at once.
