The present outlook for the COM
ing to Mesa of tn. 8. F. p. q P.
railr DAD is, We regret to say, not as
promising as it ought to b.. Ths
difficulty is in getting an entrance
into town.. There will be little
difficulty in securing right Of way
up to the western limit of town;
but the right Of way SO far as has
been secured is on line with the
second street south of Main aud so
far there seems t, be opposition to
the road traversing that street.
We sincerely hope the matter will
be satisfactorily adjusted because
Mesa would make a grave mistake
If she drives that roud away from
her doors.

A LIrrIn enthusiasm goes long

because they lacked love Of coun-

WITH the advent of railroads
traversing our fertile plains and
furnishing easy and rapid transit
to all parts..of the country, we may
confidently look for renewed ac-
tivity in water development to
furnish the now useless desert
wastes with water. There are over
SOC, 900 acres of as ine soil as ever
q bird flew over, upon the Mesa
lying between our own cnterpris-
ing town and Florence that is ab-
solateIy of no value in it's present
anwatered state. Supplied with
water it would be worth for its
productive capacity alone from
800 to $3.50 per acre. Already
there are several schemes on foot
to furnish these lands with water.
The latest in that line is the
Queens Greek reservoir, the site
of which was surveyed last wcek.
1t will have capacity to irrigate
$4,000 acres of tine soil lying %
miles from Mesa. The dam will
be 100 feet high and 40 long at
the base, widening to 200 at the
top. The diversion dam connected
with this is located in Randolph
canyon and this will cover $4,000
acres with an abundance of water.
The construction OF these dams
will be commenced in the not long
hence. Other reservoir schemes
may confidently be put down, not
only as possibilities, but as cer-
tainties. II ime is not far distant

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 14.-Col. H. Men
del, president of the California Wine
makers corporation. received word from
Santa Rosa today to the effect that sos 900
gallons of dry red and white wine had
been formally transferred to the corpora
ton in that city by twelve different grow
ers.
The minimum price obtained this year
was Is cents per gallon, which is a con-
siderable advance over last years prices.
1t 10 quite natural, then, that the growers
who have pooled their issues in this big
scheme should feel elated over this year s
results, and over the prospect for the fu-
ture as we'll. 1t is expected that next year
q standard rate of 20 cents gallon will be
established.

probably reach lO,OOO,OOO gallons, of this

sources. That it shall be applied in part
to an inland experimental station and to "a
marine biological laboratory; portion Of
the instruction supported by this
gift shall take the form of
university extention lectures to
be delivered by recognized authorities at
suitable points on the west side of Chi
cago. To secure the above ends a
portion not to exceed one-half the capi-
tai su m given may be used for the pur-
chase of land for equipment and for the

either on tn Atlantic or the Pacific coast,
and the inland laboratory will be placed
at Lake Geneva, Wis, where the Yerkes
telescope is located; 100000 will be
spent for the erection and equipment of
buildings on the college campus in this

Director Devlin Announces His Intention to
Reth-, and an Editor Is Slated to

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. lathe meeting at
San Quentin of prison directors today was
attended by the full board, Warden Hale
and Secretary Ellis. After the reading of
records and the usual routine business,
Director Devlin announced that, as his
term of office would SOON expire, he in
tended permanently to retire from the
board after ten years. service.
Warden Aull of Folsom prison was re-
elected warden without opposition. Joseph
Y. Ellis was reelected clerk and secretary
to the board for the fourth term. Direcl-
diting committee. DIR. William M. Law
ler's appointment as resident surgeon was
confirmed. John Rutherford, formerly of
the Oakland mills, was appointed superll-
tendent of the jute mill, with John Dickey
as spinner and Richard P. Brown as assist
ant spinner. Mrs. Belle Van Doren was
confirmed as matron, and John d. Jones
and John E. Savage were made guards.
The jute mill occupid much of the atten-
ton of the board. There are 100000
bags on hand, crowding the mill from
floor to ceiling and occupsin9 considerable
space in the old workshops. The law
limits the directors in sales to 5000 bags
be an actual consumer within The state.
The mill was shut down yesterday, partly
for repairs, but mainly for lack of
space to house the accumulating bags.
The Spreckels brothers have made a
tender for 100000 jute sacks to be
used for sugar bags, and the directors
applied to the attorney-general for an
opinion in the case, and received one stat
ing that the board undoubtedly had the
power to sell the bags if they were for
actual consumers and sufficient grain bags
were kept on hand to supply the demands
of farmers.

The Cargo Is Manifested as PIglron But
ID Believed to Consist Of Arms.
War Notes

PENSACOLA, Fla, Dec. 14.-Early this
week the announcement was made of the
sale of the American steamship Czarina,
66l tons, to San Francisco parties repre-
sented here by Capt. II. Samuels, of the
Marine Journal, who came from New York
to make the purchase. 1t was understood
that the steamer was taking on 200 tons
of coal for her voyage around Cape Horn
to the Pacific coast this morning. She
cleared at the custom house with cargo of
pig iron and this afternoon rumors were
thick that she was in reality bound
for Cuba, presumably with arms and
supplies. 1t is known that q deputy
United s tates marshal went to the wharf
before the hour of sailing and had con-
versation with Captain Lapsley. The
captain excused himself for a minute,
and going aboard the Czarina, pulled out
before the officer realized his intentions
The pilot who was there to take the ves-
sci out was left on the wharf and the ves-
sci was soon going down the bay under
full steam and in a short time was we'll
out to sea.
1t is said the officer had no papers, and
it is intimated that information had been
given by a seaman who had shipped for
the voyage which led suspicion of the
steamers real destination. There was no
government vessel to overhaul the Czarina,
and if she is-really bound for Cuba she is
now we'll on the way.
News received here from Pinar del Rio,
capital of the province of that name, says
that the parents and two brothers of a
government scout have been hanged near
there by insurgents.
The insurgents have captured two light
ers on the Sagua la CHA river.
A band OF negroes recently raided the
Salomons Pons plantation, tied up the
men and outraged the wife and daughter
of the planter. They also stole all the
money available.

New YoRK, Dec. l4.-Samuel Gompers,
who for a number of years held the high
est posit ion in the American Federation of
Labor, and to whose efforts was largely due
the rapid growth of the organization, was
today again chosen president after one
year retirement. His defeat in Denver
year ago by John Nc Bride of the miners
organization, was by a narrow m argin, and
today he received but eighteen majority in
a vote of over 1000. The result of the
election is looked upon as defeat for
socialism. for. though Mcbride was not
considered as an ultra-socialist, Mr.. Com
pers opposition to that school of reform
has always been pronounced. Mr.. Nc
Brides semi-advocacy of Independent
political action was an argument used
against him.
The chair appointed a committee of
three delegates to notify Mr.. Gompers of
his election and escort him to the plat
form.
Mr.. Gompers, on being introduced, said:
"Ihere is no position on earth that l

Retiring President Mcbride on being in
troduced complimented MIR. Gompers. He
pledged his support to the federation, but
added that never again would he accept an

Gen. Clarkson and ex-senator Platt had

that Mckinley is now on the home stretch

Having consented under pressure to share

dead after the remains had been viewed.
During the afternoon the immediate MEM

PANIED the remains to Greenlawn ceme-

consigned to the grave. The services here
were even more simple than those at the
