The Phoenix bar to a man, has en-
dorsed Judge Williams and have for
warded the endorsements to Washing
ton. These endorsement have been spon-
charges said to have been preferred
againt him in Washington. If such
things count for anything with the
senate there will be 10 further hesi-
fancy in confirming him. Arizona is
truly unfortunate in her dealings with
the general government. Whether a
for preferment of any kind the de-
partment, from which the nomination
issues. is flooded with petitions and
protests assailing the character and
standing of the nominee. So vile and
cious has this practice become that
Arizona is known IN Washington as
a characterles territory. The only
way out Of this siou % of infamy lies
through statehood but we fear that
the door has been closed against US
And no wonder for il our govern
ment appointees which generally are
classsd, while at home, among our
leading and reputable citizens are rep
resented as improper parsons when their
names are favorably mentioned by the
president, it is 10 woHnder that statehood
for our grand and promising territory is
held under careful consideration. We
trust however, that the honorable senate
will speedily learn that our people are
not the disreputabie gang disappointed
polititlonS have represented them to be.
We do not know Judge Williams, nor
do we know, beyond common report, of
his legal or intellectual attachments,
neither have we yet heare by whom he
has been assailed or the purpose for
which his confirmation has been with
held, but We do know that he is sharing
the common fate Of every other nominee
for federal office from governor down
to line rider in the custom service.
Judge Sloan suits US well enough and
we are pleased to see the territory get
the benefit of his legal acumen, but we
do deplore at this vital time,
events that contribute in redoubled
force to defeat the claims OF Arizona
to statehood.

IN MEMORIAM.
LORETTO

Twas the roll CALI of the angels and they
sOulfrespond Here"
We knew that thou vert going while the angels
fingered near.
Softly they whispered to thee, Come home dear
Through the vale of mists and shadows with
the star of love for light.
Through the darkness, through the twilight,
through the gathering of the gloom,
LoretUo, too long we lent thee return unto Thy
hOme.'
Thy sweet eyes smiled assent with infinite peace
and love.
Brighter they than whirling planet, in Its golden
sphere above.
Thy heart was free and bouyant as the lsrks
at break of day,
When the flame of summer morning melts the
mlsts of solemn grey;
When each buttercup sips dew with its yellow
mouth,
And each daisy mods obeisance TO the wind from
out OF the South.
No awful utter blackness, no myriad fears thy
hesrt instils,
No sea of seething waters no horrid icy chills:
Only the music of the angels, and the rustic of
IheIr wings,
As you caught one CLEAN Heaven through q
cloud Of baser things.
A calm all holy seemed to shield thee from
alarms,
And blessed peace enfolded thee within its
gentle arms:
Could O souls peer IN the future from this
fOrtres of the brain
We cOu d see thee in the palace where the King
of Kings doth reign.
" ait for us in Heaven, oh, kindly lead us on.
To lde Us through the valley to the cliffs
ablaZe with dawn.
Stretch thy dear hand and spesk in the old re-
membered tone.
If our c urage seems TO falter and we fear to
walk alone.

Joaquin Miller and the Tramps.

The venerable Joaquin Miller used
to have warm spot in his heart for
tramps. He went so far as to build a
house on his California farm for the
accommodation of tramps, and fur
nished it with plain but substantial
comforts, free use of which was given
any tramp who came that way. The
outcome he relates in an article in =
California magazine. Results? In

If Governor Hughes, as head of the
Arizona democracy, is adrcit in his
management of the Territorial Centra
committee he will be able to thumbs
down an all opposition and effectually
shelve his tormentors. He must allow
no kicking over the traces by the
rectangular democracy, but demand a
vote of confidence in his administration
under penalty of expulsion from the
party of free trade and prostration. The
least show of insubordination should be
severely suppressed. This is sound
advice as to the manner of
managing an obstreperous democratic
committee.

ENVIRONMENT THE STRONGEST
FORCE In CHILD-LTFE.

DR.. ii. ID. Cbapin, one of the best
known young physicians in New York,
has for a number of years had under
his charge the children's wards in
several hospitals. AS case after case
has come under bis supervision, be
has taken the trouble 10 make thorough
study. not only of the chIld's physical
condition, but whenever possible of its
parentage and of its antecedent condl-
tions. Having kept complete record
in this very full and interesting way for
q num- Der of years, he found at last that
he had the history of 600 hospital
children. Such an investigation, Of
course, contained a larger number of
most instructive facts, instructive from
a physicians point of view, but none the
less instructive from sociological point
of view. A summary of these studies of
DIR. Ch8pin's conclusions IS p esented In
a brief article in the March number of
The Forum, wherein be shows that
heredity plays comparatively unim-
portaut part as compared with the envi-
ronment of child-life.

attracting the widest and most deserved
attention. The first of these lectures
was delivered on Tuesday last and
wherever reaG have won admiration and
approval. Referring to his proposed
lectures he wisely ard truly said:
"Youry people, my aim is not so much
to make lawyers as to promote broad
and Intelligent citizenship. Our civil
institutions are safe only while in the
keeping of a generation that loves them.

and adaptation of the Constitution OF

your love of our Institutions deeper and
more intelligently. will lot ask you to
love everything that is American, but /

those who love everything for no better
reason than that it is not American.

DAMMING THE SANTA CRUZ.
A Giant Project in Readiness
Below Town.
The Underground Flow to be Caught
by Submerged Dam-Che
Hartt Weaver Enterprise-A
Bsna Eide Project.

In two years passengers on the South
ern Pacific. sick and weary of hundreds
| of miles of desert in New Mexico, Ari-
zona or California, will rub their eyes
| between Red Rock and Rillito station.
There they will see a sample OF the
coming Arizona. Flowers will laden
the air with their sweetness and delight
the eye; trees and grasses and fountains
and drives will make the glimpse seem
happy ten minutes in another world.
As William Hartt says-"We will make
those tenderfeet easterners see what
kind of a country we can make Of this" !"
In a vague way it has been talked
that General Weaver, the late populist
candidate for the presidency, and Will
liam Hartt, the energetic pump rancher
in the valley, have been doing some
thing in the way of an irrigation scheme
below town. A few have even learned
that teams and workmen have been
sent down. But definite date has been
withheld. pending arrangements. All
is now clear and the work will go
ahead.
The project IS big one--no less than
the impounding of the great under
ground flow of the Santa Cruz river.
The Santa Cruz on the surface is
hardly more than a creek, but under
ground 1t is stream of goodly proper
tions. Flowing water has been found
indicating that it is two miles wide.
At the Hartt ranch, three quarters OF
mile from the bed of the visible river
the flow is. gallon minute TO the
square .ioot. Down the valley thirty
miles, aud below the junction of the
R;llito and Canon de Orc The flow
must be much accelerated. This must
be proven however, and that is what
will be done.
THE EXPERIMENTAL PLANT.
The first work will be on ascertalning
the extent of the flow of the undergrown
river. This will be done by putting in
two Smith & Vail pumps, similar to
that now at the Hartt ranch. These
will pump 5000 gallons of water minute,
or twics the outflow at the Hartt
ranch, for less than SO a day. The
pumps have been ordered, from Dayton,
Ohio, and will be in Tucson in ninety
days. By that tIme all will be IN readl-
ness for them. A machinery pit will be
put down, the bottom of it twenty-five
feet below the surface. Here the water
will be raised to the surface With
rush ard roar, and sent freely over
the thirsty land. The machinery pit
will be circular, and twenty-five feet in
diameter. 1t will be carefully lined
with masonary and cement. Excavat-
ing is already under way on it.
The flow of the river has been found
at a deepth of twenty seven feet. From
that depth down as far as the water
will permit a we'll will be sunk. By
sinking in a radius of fifty or 100 feet
the area drained by the we'll will be
ascerta,ned. This known the width Of
the flow will next be found and by
calculations the flow Of the river to the
depth of the we'll learned.
The experiment is to learn the extent
of the flow of the river. 1t has already
been shown to be gallon minute to

A BUILDING and Loan association has
been organized in Nogales. Tucson has
had one for the past six years and that
one is among the most prosperous in the
country. This is due largely to good
management and to the interest taken
in the association by officers and laymen
alike. The Nogales constitution is
largely modelled upon the one in this
and cannot be improved on. Nogales is
to be congratulated on the founding of
an association which if rightly managed
cannot but be productive of much good
to the city and the builder of many
homes,

A Big Deal.

The Congress mine in Yavapai
county upon which an option was taken
few months ago by E. B. Gage and
associates has been sold and the first
payment made. The price is not
public but is in the neighborhood of q
half million dollars
The new owners will take charge at
once. e. b. Gage will be superintend-
ent while Dave Jones will probably be
foreman.
The owners of the Congress are
largely interested in the Grand Gen.
tral mine of this camp.
A number of we'll known Tomb
stone miners will go to the Congress
to accept positions there under the
new management.

THE Chino Champion utters these
sage remarks, which are true and worthy
Of reproduction:
THE hard times now prevailing
throughout the country are not altoget-
her without their benefit. The cloud
is dark, but it has its lining of silver,
after all. People not actually in want,
but obliged TO curtail many luxuries
which they had been almost unconsci-
ously enlarging every year until they
were out of proportion to their income,
will learn thro' these troubulus times
lessons of economy and simple living
that will be valuable to them. The
happiest people are not by any means
those who spend money lavishiy and
depend on buying with gold their enjoy
ments Wealth placed in too high
esteem as the medium for gaining
happines becomes canker that grows
upon ones nature, sapping little by
little the capacity to appreciate the
pure stream Of happiness flowing from
tie fountain of those domestic ties,
fraternal associations and studies which
are the true source of felicity. Soma
Of us would live larger life were we
to edopt some of the simple and homely
habits of our fathers. Frugality and
economy have bred some of the highest
specim ems Cf American citizenship, and
the necessity for these qualities need
not necessarily be an unalloyed evil"
