Denial of a Writ of Habeas Corpus
 in the Case of McCamley Thrown Out as a Feeler.

Unless the resisting and constructive license payers of Tempe are disposed to carry the war farther they are hope lessly beaten and will become unresist- ing taxpayers in fact.
 Judge Baker in deciding the applica. of A. R. McCamley for a writ of habeas corpus held that the corporation of Tempe was effective. The act of the legislature of 1872 under which the in- corporation took place vas held to be valid.
 This had not been strongly opposed by the applicant but the main conten- tion was that the delegation of au- thority to the board of supervisors to act in the matter of incorporation was unconstitutional.
 The court decided that there had been no unusual delegation of authority that the board of supervisors could not

This is matter to which little to be two opinions. One is that new high school building should be erected. The other is that an arrangement should be made with Phenix district so that the central building could be used by the high school. In any event new school building of some kind will have to be erected.

One Item In the List of Re-
 duced Expenses.
The Board of Control Cuts Down the Number and Salary of
 Penitentiary Guards.

The mem bers of the board of control returned yesterday morning from Yuma where an important meeting with re- gard to the affairs of the territorial prison had been held the day before. There were present at the meeting Gov ernor Hughes, Hon. M. H. McCord, members and Hon. Jas. A. Fleming and Prof. Theo. B. Comstock of the university, as mem bers of an advisory committee. e
 of reduction of expenseES >The salary of prison guard was reduced from $100 to $8e per month and the number of guards from 13 to II. This effects a monthly reduction of $420. The con- dition of the guards who are retained 1 however is not dIsadvantageous. The board will permit them to purchase their private supplies at the same prices paid by the territory and the prison physician is directed to offer them and their families medical attention with out cost. These items and other con- sessions made without cost to the terri tory will result in leaving them nearly as great net salary as they received | before. asrN
 The board will also effect saving in the awarding of contracts for supplies which will amount to several thousand dollars.
 A resolution was passed placing the prison farm under the supervision ol Dr. Comstock who will operate it through the experimental station at Yuma and the necessary labor and supplies will be furnished through the prison subject to the direction of the board.
 Another change made was in the regulation with respect to credits. By the late regulation years service in the prison by credits was reduced to eight months. The regulation is re. tained but more rigidly applied so that only those prisoners who perform labor when there is labor 10 be performed shall receive credits. An infraction of prison rules wipes out all credits:
 The board found an excellent system of discipline prevailing in the prison and found in Superintendent Gates noi only willing but enthusiastic co-ad. tutor in any measure calculated to ren der the institution more nearl ly selfsus tsining.
 The board of control already has to the credit of the wisdom of it's creation a saving of many thousand dollars 1T the prison alone. It proposes to leave similar traces of economy upon every other territorial institution without impairing the efficiency of any.

What Ouerns Are.

The quern is among the oldest and most primitive of mechanisms for the grinding of grain. There is a fixed stone and above it a rotating one. There is a hole in the middle of the upper, or movable stone, into which the grain is dropped. A stick fixed into the upper stone permits of it being moved around. A wooden spindle runs through both stones. It.is good ma chine, but useless to-day. Neverthe- less, the quern, with but very little va riations, precisely as it was used in pre- historic times, is made and sold and grinds its grain to-day in the Orkney and Hebridian islands. What patent four-making mill of the present day would cost we do not know, but a few years ago a good quern could be made in Shetland for about one dollar.

incorporate town and dld not do SO in this case. It's duty was only to ascer- tain that the town proposed to incor- porated had fulfilled the conditions re- ouired under the act. The perform apce of this duty was not the exercise of a lawHiaking power and the perform ance was therefore not en unconstitu- tional act.
 Another point raised by the ap- piicant was the expression in the law, the board of gu pervisors may by an order entered of record declare such village or town incorporated" The objection was to the word ''may" which it was contended made the performance per missive and the act void. On this sub. ject the court held that the word should Id be construed as ''shall'' and the act as mandatory. And further concerning this the court. said, ''courts are only authorized to declare a statute void when It is clearly and decidedly so. The charter of municipal corporations which are designed to insure the good order and government of large commu- mites should not be set aside or held for naught except for grave reasons. Their corporate existence should be up held when it is possible to do so con- sistent with reasonable interpretation of the law"
 An appeal will possibly be taken in this case, but in the mean time the corporation will proceed against the other delinquents. The prosecution is so simplified that there can be but one verdict in the police court and as the law has been upheld by the district court those who are resisting the pay ment of the license will hardly appeal unless they are willing to go to the court of last resort.
 There will be ten prosecutions today. The amount of revenue to Tempe from this disputed source will be about $400 quarterly.

ORCHARDS.
FIourishing and Fair
A Account of an Orchard
which we hope will
Lead TO More
of them.
Of Them.

Everybody in Saquachee knows
MIR. William Owens orchard at the
base of Wells Point, in the rear of
the town and for the magnificent
view to be obtained when reached, it
is we'll worth the trouble of climbing.
But we did not have to climb this
time, as Mr.. Owen kindly furnished
us mule, and with him similarly
mounted, we made the ascent and it
was not at all laborious, at least not
to us, it might have been for the
mules.
We were met at the orchard by
Mr.. M. T. Pryor, who with Mr..
Owen had come to gather peaches
tor Mrs. Owen to preserve. who,
the most careful housewife in this
quarter manages to have fruit in
some form all the year round.
Mr., Owens orchard is on the same
bench OF the mountain and is 14OO
feet above sea level, as the Sequach-
ee Cos. vineyards half mile to the
northward which we described some
time since, and consists of 20 acres
Besides fruit trees this year it II bear
ing a good crop Of whippOo'wil
peas and sunflowers, helianthus, the
whole presenting such a greenery
.yallery effect that would nave repre-
sented heaven to, Oscar Wilde anC
his co-idiOts IN the height of thei
foolhardy craze.
But we came to see the fruit, so at
tackmg the peaches, we commenced
our tour and passed tree after tree
with clean, clear bodies and darl
green leaves, laden to their utmos
capacity and bending in some case
out Of their original shape with thei
fruity load. Then we came to a
old acquaintance, Bartlett pear tre
which gave us nice fruit. Then W
passed on to apples, red apples, gree
apples, partcOlored apples, bu
nearly all suffering from commo
complaint here, too much wood, an
not sufficient pruning, which W
know prevents the full develOpmer
of the fruit, for it it reasonable
believe that any fruit tree caunc
support so much wood and fruit to
but this is to be remedied as the el
The Sequachee news. (Sequachee [Sequatchie], Tenn.) 189?-1896, 1895-08-22

ire orchard is to be carefully pruned
his fall and the fruit next year may
we be there to see. Returning to
Mr.. Pryor who was bushy engaged
in peach picking, we come on some
thing not laid down on the program.
From some large trees, Mr.. Owen
presented us with peach which we
believe is the Chinese free stone,
which we weighed on our return to
this efice and it tipped the scale at
nine ounces. Two others which are.
in the possession of Mr.. Sherman
weighed l8 ounces, a fourth was CIV
en- to Mr.. Graham about the same
size and weight, but they were fine
and if we live, we'll have some like
them.
Unfortunately the names of the
different varieties Of fruits in this or
chard are not known but are nearly
all winter fruit. There are timber
twigs of two kinds, fine red apple
very dark looking almost black when
ripe, some light green apples shaped
like the Baldwin apple which has a
mottled appearance and one that is
known as the Ben Davis. The names
of the peaches are also lost but most
ly clingstones. In one corner we
saw some Concord grapes which had
taken care of themselves and were
we'll loaded with fruit.
South of Mr.. Owens twenty acres
is an orchard set out by Mr.. Robert
Owen shortly after the close of tbs
war, which has produced good dea
Of fruit. Although the trees have
been allowed to grow wild, we be
lieve that many could be saved nov
and good deal of fruit raised OF
them yet. 1t is now in the possess
ion of Mr.. B. +. Lasater, and we be
Iieve it would be splendid invest
ment for his family to replant the Ol'
orchard with good fruits
Loaded with all we could carry Q
the different kinds of fruits, we cam
slowly down the mountain home, bu
as we walked we thought if such re
suits are obtained with little or an
care, in the hands of good horticu
turalists, what might be done, and a
these mountain benches are above th
frost line OF the Valley and sheltere
from the colder air of the momtai
top, let us hope that somebody wi
= = come and help make these mountai
i sides what they can and will be,
e veritable garden.
