rHErRRIGATIoN CONGRESS.

If is some six months before the next irrigation congress will be held, but d. ready the people of New Mexico and of Albuquerque-in which city the congress will meet-are making preparations. An appropriation of S2,500 ID aid of the con- gress WAS obtained from the territorial legislature, and definite plan has been formed already for entertaining the wis., iting delegates.
 A committee has been organized con- sisting of ex-Governor Prince, C. C. Blodgett, general manager of the Pecos Irrigation and Improvement company, MT. Walter Hsdley and MT. Max Frost, to take charge of the money appropflat- ed and expend it so as to secure the re- suits possible for the congress Acting with these gentlemen will be committees of Albuquerque citizens, and there IS every indication that the meeting will be one of the most interesting and in- structive ever held in connection with irrigation matters.
 An extended excursion has been ar ranged for, taking the visitors to Santa Fe and Embudo on the north and to El Psso cn the south. From Fl Paso the excursion will be run to the Pecos val lev so ss to chow the extent and char acter of improvements in that part Of New Mexico. In connection with the congress there will be an exhibit or fruits and other agricultural products from the various valleys Of New Mexico.
 The Albuquerque people hope that the subject will receive attention ln all parts of the arid region in order that there may be large attendance. Though the meeting time is far ID the future, the matter is of general interest, for people make their plans B long way ahead, and doubtless many will want to attend this congress.-Denver Republl- can.

A PETITION has been presented to the board of supervisors to cut down the salary of Clerk Hughes from Sl00 to s75 morth. To do SC, it appears to us, would be exceedingly poor economy, and would be more costly to the county in the end. The present clerk is one of the most competent men that ever occu- pied that place. The office is no sine- cure and as each year goes by the du- ties therein become the more complicst- ed and cum mbersome. The plea for a reduction is based upon the statement that inasmuch as private firms can em. ploy bookkeepeers for a pittance, the county should not pay more. Such reasoning is f8llacious. The unfortui- tioUs circumstances which compel men of education and ability to accept mean wages by which they manage to bridge over starvstion's chasm, should not be permitted to drsg public compensation for skilled labor to like level. We say this of the office and not of the occu- pant. The clerk of the board of super visors of Pima county IS paid S100 per month. The best that can be said of such compensation is that it is passing fair and nothing more, and an attempted
Arizona weekly citizen., 1895-04-06

reduction would, it seems to us, be dis creditsble to the county. An individual, now a nonresident but large property hClcer In this city, once argued with the writer in favor of like petition to the one above referred to, that 8 certain employe of his had been receiving $50 per month. This amount the employer admitted, was we'll earned, but he final ly reached the conclusion that by dis charging the man, who had a family dependent upon him for support, he could re-employ him at much less rate or compensation. So on the pretext that his services were no longer required the man was laid off and ID the course of month or so re-employed at S3O per month. The poor fellow, with a wife and dependent family, was glad enough to take anything that offered even par tial relief. That there are men in Ariz- ona situated as the poor fellow referred to, and who would be glad of the pro- verbal half loaf ID preference to none. is admittedly true, but that does not justify Pima county in dragging down her officials to like level. We would rather say, raise the salary of the clerk than lower it. If any man in the county earns s15O0 year it is earned by the clerk of the board of supervisors.

THERE Is not a camp in the state but has seen specimens of the class pic- tured by the Montana Reporter as fol- lows: Mining experts and mining therorlsts without experience are freak of nature. They are an interesting sight when turned loose in mining camp that has two parallel veins-one of gold and the other galena. They can 20 into a copper mine and tell you all about it; they can tell you all about the amount of asbestos you have in sight, and all these things; but We never run across a collegiate expert, or one raised on sus- picion, who could tell you where ore is before it was found, any more than divining rod. This promises to be good 1-told-you-so' season, and the rankest prediction of rich strikes wai be made-after the old prospector finds and opens the mines up."

J. M. BURNETT of the "L.eader" at Gils Bend, has thrown up the sponge and abandoned the field of journalism. John wanted an office and he wanted one the worst kind, but as he failed to land his fish he got mad and swore great big oaths at the democratic party as whole and at Governor Hughes in particular; then sawed off the journalistic limb upon which be had been sitting and took a tumble to himself. But, aside from all attempts at humor, he made the Leader good paper and we regret to see his departure from it.
