President Frank Murphy, of the Santa Fe, Prescott and Phoenix, re- turned Sunday from Tucson, where he had been interviewing the prominent citizens of the old pueblo on the ques- tion of railroad extension. MT. Murphy attended large meeting, at which was displayed a lively publ'c spirit and determination that the north and south road ehonld be extended through their town to Nozaes, if effort on the part of the cit gets of Pima county could accomplish such an end. 4 committee of prominent business men was appoin- ted to proce. to COZ fer with ether com mltteemen of FloreEce, Phoenix, Mesa and Tempe. An organization will then be formed, the purpose of which will be to secure the right Of way and to make the survey from Phoenix to the border line.
 It is understood that the north and south company is determined to not grade mile beyond the Salt River valley till the right of way shall have been garanteed for the entire distance having had an uncomfortable experi- ence in thIs regard at a number of points on the way hither, and having in several instances been compelled to expend large sums for rights of way which, at the out set, were supposed to be given without cost. The railway officials insist that it Is in no wise es- sential that this branch road be extended to Nogales, as 1t cannot be considered an indis pensable factor in the Santa Fe system.
 A remarkable fact in regard to the new road is tb8t its bonds have almost if not wholly, been taken by the stock holders of the line. They have pushed the line thus far and will continue it to Phoenix on their own capital, and the extension will be built ID the same manner. It is stated that they feel that the extension in many ways does not offer the same indications of remunera- tive return as does the original line and If trains are to run beyond this valley some ducement nut be offered in the way of terminal facilities and clear right of way.
 Temue had a meeting Sunday at which thls matter was fully discussed It met with the heartiest approval from the many citzsns present from town, surrounding country and from Mesa, and Q committee was appointed to carry on the work to satisfactory finish. Florence alse Is stirred up on the matter and sees in the road an essen- tial boon to the Casa Graude valley and Plnal county generally. These senti- ments were warmly expressed at a meeting of the citizens held at Florence Friday night.-Gazette

A New Office Created by the Gov
 erunr.
 E. M. Boggs was appointed yesterday by Governor Hughes to the honorary post of territorial irrigation engineer.
 When iRt"rrogated on the subject by Gazette reporter yesterday, the gov ernor very frankly admitted that no such an ofIica exists by statute, but ex- plained that now, at this stage of the Jerritory's progress, there is the mcst pressing need of such an official. He stated that he should recommend to the next legislature the creation of such an office, and in the interim felt himself justified under the circumstances in ask ing Profe-snr Buggs to assume the title and to perform, though without con- penss tion, its duties.
 Professor Bcgge, who as an irrigation engineer has high repu:e, Is now in charge of this branch at the territorial university. He has of late been mak- ing very thorough examination of the water sheds nd surface flow of centrsl Arizona, and is informed upon ,he sub- ject probably more fully than any other expert who has ever examined the irri- gatIon possibilities of the southwest.-- Gazette.

AS TO HELICGRAPHING.
An Important Adjunct of Army
 Workings.---HowI 1t Is Done.

Apropos o; the long distance signaling
 dore by heliograph few days ago, when
 messag were sent lS7 miles, a helio-
 graph operator at Wilcox gives some | details of how it is done.
 The Morse telegraphic code IS used.
 The length of the flash indicates dot
 or dash. A screen is placed in front of
 the mirror and is pulled aside by mech
 anism controlled by ring on the oper-
 ator's finger. By hellograph about | twelve words minute are sent, though | as high as twenty words minute have
 been sent Where the sun is directly
 behind the sending station a second glass is required, to reflect the rays to | the glass in view of the receiver A | considerable degree of light Is lost in | the reflection, and 1t is not then pos | sible to heliogTaph to so great a distance as when the flash IS direct from the | sun. It would not have been possible | to receive at so long distance as sent a | few days ago, had the light been from a | reflected glass. Three men are req auired | at a station, one to constantly adjust | the mirrors, following the movements of | the sun, another to read the message
 when receiving and dictate the same to | the third man who transcribes it. The | normal quota Of htliograph operators is four to each company. This however,
 is seldom followed out, the number usu-
 ally being less. Messages may easily | be sent to the field from s commanding 2
 view, and to any point in view. By
 carefully searching the field it is gener- | ally no trouble to find the troops. When the party Tn the field see the flashes, the portable apparatus IS arranged and an-
 swer made The glasses ordinarily ueed
 are four inches square.
 Sometimes a chain of offices is estab- lished, as it vas few years ago, reaching
 from peak to peak, from Whipp.e Bar | racks to Fort Huachuca.
 Arizona is the photographers ideal
 land. He IS assured of what is the near
 est continual sunshine attslnRble in the
 United States and possibly in the world.
