BUSINESS men of Nogales now pay as much annually in travelling ex- peuses to Tucson to attend court and other public business, as their taxes amount to. By creating Papago coun- ty they would be saved that money and great deal of valuable time; for they would not have to go away from home to transact business of that kind.

And also for the same reason town which ever expects To do anything should always carry one or more good newspapers to protect its interests.

HOME OPPOSITION.

No proposition was ever advanced suggesting change of any kind in the condition of public aifairs, affecting either state, nation or any political subdivision. which met unanimous approval by all persons it affected; and if no change or alteration of con dtions could be made without such unanimous approval the world would stand still, all progress or advance ment would cease and all things be- come mossbacked.
 It is not therefore. matter for won dermcnt that some people living within the boundaries of the proposed new county of Papago should protest against it's creation: but if we must wait for division until such time as no one within its boundaries shall object we will continue forever attached to Pima county; because the day win never come when all uf it's people will agree that division is expedient.
 Objections to any proposition should be considered at their real value. Are they actuated by individual self inter est? Are they such as should inilu- ence fair, reasoning men to abandon advocacy of the proposition?
 Objections Co county division made by parties living outside the proposed new county, as is demonstrable. are all made from selfish. individual iu- :erest. and as such can have very lt- tie, if any, weight with the legislator. in determining his vote on the ques- tion This, those of the outside who lead and encourage the opposition know, and t0 give that opposition an appearance Of justice, right and force endeavor to draw protests and and objections from within the pro posed new county believing such will have force as coming from the people who will be immediately affected by the change; and they will-such is the nature of man desiring to carry his purpose magnify and eXaggeratc the value of all these protests. Thus, q district or hamlet containing a few persons will be magnitied into center of population with great financial in- fuence. The protest of a single per- son will be said to come from one who pays large tax. Right here comes the question: Is the comfort and con venience of any good citizen who pays a small tax to be Of less consideration than those of person who pays a larger tax The largest taxpayer in the county will not be obliged, after division, to pay cent more of taxes than he now pays. And is it because he has more wealth than another that his wishes should be considered before those of his less wealthy neighbor:
 That would be neither democratic. republican nor American.
 One man may send protest be- cause the county seat may not, after division, be placed on his farm, and. protesting, may get some of his neigh bors to join in the protest.
 When well weighed all objections to creation of Papago county demon strate themselves as !nconsequcntial when placed against the interest of those who so earnestly desire and ueed the change.

1t is Important.

MILWAUKEE Oct. 5-The order Of
Judge LIacombe, in the United States
court at New York in restraining the
former receivers of the Northern Pa
cific from turning over to their success
sOrs amy Of the monies or properties
of the company within his jurisdiction
is not likely to be fully appreciated
but it is most important one, not
only from the fact that there is consid-
cradle money deposited in New York,
but because the books of the company
are in that city, and If the receivers,
especially Receiver Bigelow, who has
charge of the finances. are not to have
access to them there will be almost in
Surmountable obstacles to overcome.
There are two obligations which must
be met on November l. One is the in
terest on the mortgage bonds of the
Missouri division of the road This
division lies wholly within, Judge Cald-
wells jurisdiction and the amount due
is over $4,000. while the sinking fund
charges to be paid on the same amount
to something over $4,000; but these
amounts are insignificant in COMPARE
son with the other obligations Inter-
est to the amount of more that $40. 600
IS. due on the collateral trust notes and
it is imperative that this obligation he
met promptly. The collateral trust
fund is one Of the most important the
receivers are charged with looking af
ter, and default in the interest would
be almost fatal to the interests of the
bondholderS.

TIE AGE OF ANIMALS.

Many animals live to a surprising
age. retaining their vitality so long
that it is difficult for man to count
their years. OF all the Oldest, or
rather the one retaining to greatest
longevity, is the Greenland whale,
which, if the differences from its
growth be correct, lasts between three
or four hundred years
The king of beasts probably prowls
his native heath three score and ten
years, for even in confinement he has
been known to live this period A
lion known as "Pompey' remained in
the tower Of London over seventy
years, and his age was unknown when
captured. Another brought from the
river Gambia, died at the age of six
ty-three. Leopards, bears and tigers
live about twenty-five or thirty years;
the camel, forty or more; the rhin-
oceros and hippopotamus, from seven
ty to eighty; and the elephant certain
ly from 14O to 150 Ajax. the famous
warrior, captured an elephant from
Porus, a king of India, and inscribed
upon a brass plate the history of the
victory. After this was securely fas-
tened the animal was set at liberty
and it turned UP $50 years afterwards,
story.
The tortoise lives an astonishing
time. Several specimens of the Indian
variety are to be seen in the zoologi-
cal gardens of London, promenading
in their quiet fashion, though each is
known to be over 200 years old. Two
very antiquated tortoises reside near
York, England, which were brought
from Rochelle soon after the seige in
1923, and were personally acquainted
in all probability with Joan of Arc. A
document called the Bishops Barn,
among the archives of Peterborough
cathedral, contains some astonishing
details CT a tortoise, which dweIt in
the palace garden over 200 years. The
bishops predecessor remembered st
over sixty years, and he was the sew
enth bishop whose niter had been
seen by the venerable reptile. It's
shell was perforated and attached to a
chain so that it might roam the gar
den without a keeper or straying away.
Another tortoise appeared at Lambeth
palace about the year 1925, during
Archbishop Laud'S residence. there. but
it died in 1853, through the neglect of
the gardener.
Some of the birds live to a green
old age also. Falcons and ravens
sometimes celebrate their golden we'd
dings as they attain to a hundred
years and more; pelicans and herons
live fifty years; peacocks, twenty;
hawks, thirty; geese, a hundred; night
sngaies, over ten; domestic fowls. ten
years, and thrushes and other wood
and field birds acquire from eight to
nine, while wrens do not survive three
years.
The age to which a swan may rive
is differently estimated. Bacon said
hundred, and Goldsmith declared
300. Certainly in 1872 a swan lived in
Holland, in the town of Alknar, wear
Ing a collar dated 1872, and in Molle
sons museum, England. there is a
stuffed bird known to fame as the
"old swan of Dun.'' which died in 1899
aged 200 years.

REELECTION AND PoLITICs.

A writer in the Bombay Guardian,
Bombay, sharply criticizes the modern
tendency to separate religion entirely
Israelitish nation for proofs that politi-
cal life and national prosperity decline
where religious sentiment and fidelity
support of his argument that the AL
mighty is not an idle spectator of what
is going on The writer says:
1.-THE attempt OF some scientists to bow
the Almighty out of his own universe
is only a little more presumptious than
the efforts of some politicians to bow him
out Of the government Of the country.
When Jehovah assented to the request of
the ISraeliteS for q king to rule over
them, he never abrogated the throne
himself; but reserved the right of chos-
ing the successive rulers to hold a SUBJ
ordinate position under himself, while he
continued to WELD the scepter as before.
While we repudiate the divine right of
kings as held by James l., we at the
same time hold that rulers like all others
should accept their responsible position
as from the Lord, and SO discharge their
functions as to secure his favor
OF course, in representative govern
nFent, where the people are i'll a measure
their own rulers, this responsibility is
likewise distributed among them in pro-
portion to their privileges and opportuni-
ties If a Christian Is a voter he
is not only under obligation to cast his
vote, but 20 do it every time in the way
to please his king, the supreme Lord of
the universe. Loyalty, we KNOW, must
be first of ali to the one highest III au-
thority Thus while perhaps religion
might be divorced from politics, certain
ly politics should never be divorced from

writer, 'tentered upon 81 new era Of Gull

At the same time we must not shut our

TUNNELING THE THAMES.
Another Gigantic Engineering Feat
Nearly Accomplished in London.

Another Gigantic Engineering Feat
Nearly Accomplished in London.
The Blackwell tunnel is soon to be an
accomplished fact. Work is now pro-
ceeding very rapidly; that is to say,
the human moles shut up in compress
ed air underneath the bed of the river
are grubbGing their way along at the
rate of from twelve to fifteen feet
week, and if they are able to maintain
this rate of advance for the rest OF the
distance their tunnel will reach the
first caisson on the 0Iiddlesex side of
the Thames about the first week in
October. If that should be achieved,
then this subaqueeuS portion of the
work, 1,212 feet in length, will have
been got through within a, twelve
month, a feat never before accomplish
ed in the time. 1t has been diff
cult and dangerous task, and 1T Is to
be feared that the portion now re-
manning to be done-1Q0 or 125 feet
may prove the most troublesome of
any. In evidence of this it may be
stated that the contractors, Pearson &
Son, have Just purchased additional
pumping machinery. They have
Thames conservancy permission to
throw DOWN into the river an addi-
tional covering of clay and their men
are actually working at this moment
under an air pressure of thirty-four
pounds to the square inch over and
above the ordinary atmospheric pres
sure in cafsson No. considerably
greater than they have ever had to
resort to before
The regulation of this air pressure
Is rather ticklish business. They are
Within SeVentV-SiX feet or so of the low
water margin Of the river but the
whole of the river bed at this point
consists of loose, porous shingle. With
great pressure below they would have
the water in upon them by its sheer
weight. On the other hand, If they
Overdo their pressure it is liable to
blow off up through the ped of the
earth and the water above them. Then,
Of course, the pressure has gone and
in would come the deluge. How real
is the peril Of this kind of work has
Just been illustrated by an accident
near Melbourne, where a sewer is being
constructed under the Yarra by the
ordinary shield system. The water
came in upon them and the engineer
of the work and five of his men were
drowned together. This Blackwell
tunnel is, of course, a much larger and
formidable undertaking, and it is, per-
faps. this very fact that has secured
immunity from serious rnishap. The
possibility of an inburst of water has,
of course, been SO appalling that no
pains have been spared to guard
against such a calamity No less than
10000 cart loads Of clay have been
brought up from the Midway and laid
down over the tunnel.-London News
