TIE international Irrigation
Congress will meet in Albuquerque
next Monday. It is composed in
the main of men who are supposed
TO be familiar; with the subject OF
irrigation, and the. Importance to
the entire nation Of furnishing ir-
rigation water to the millions OF
acres of arid lands in the west.
The accomplishment of this end
can only be accomplished through
judicious agitation. The discus
sion in these annual gatherings Of
men Interested in the subject ought
to crystalline system that would
result in the reclamation of tho
rich arid lands now practically
worthless. Whether the govern
ment will be asked to lend it's as
sistance or not cannot now be de-
termined,. but probably that will
bs one of the planks of the plat
form that will be adopted. x

SUPERVISOR KIKBAkL.

The death of VIM. N. Standage
left . vacancy in the Board of
Super visors, and az he was the
chairman of that body it was
necessary that the vacancy be filled
at once as no meeting, co uld be
called nor any business transacted,
At the request of many of his Mesa,
Phoenix and Tempe friends, our
progressive townsman, VIM. A.
Kimball was induced to submit his
name to the appointing board, con.
sistins of she two rem aiming super .
visors and Probate Judge Grouse
for the appointment. The ap-
pointing board met Monday after
noon and found that there were
fourteen applicants for the position
besides Mr.. Ki,nball. At the time
appointed for tilling the vacancy
Prob Jud "a C-ouse in an able
nominating spesch plscad W. A.
Kin,ball in nominations. Il was
seconded by Capt. w. L. George,
the Dsmocrati, member Of tho
Board. This settled the appoint
ment of our genial sownsman and
his appointment was subsequently,
made unanimous.
Mesa fully appreciates this action
of the Board in giving to one Of is
popular citizens this appointment.
This section felt that it was en-
titled to name che appointee, which
it did by large petition signed by
everybody irrespective of party
name, and this petition was seconded
by large one composed Of the
hea,ie t property owners of Ph 's-
nix. The Board did a neat thlng
and Mesa will no. forget those who
compose It!
Mr.. Kimball has been a resident
of Mesa sixteen years. He kno~
this entire county intima tely, its
needs and require ments. His bust
ness qualifications emineatly fit
him for the position to which he
has been appoin;ed. and we-prediet
that there will be no more active
and efficient member of the Board
than Mr.. Kimball.
While Mr.. Kimball has been o
staunch Republican and an effective
uncompromislng worker for his
party, he has never asked for or
held Office before. And yet it is
safe to say that he will take hold
like an old hand at the wheel and
that the intsIests OF Mesa and the
entire county will be closely
guarded.

Bladcl's Emergency.

The very act of ex-Ald. Bladel in
putting the city to the expense Of a
special election to fill the vacancy in
the council created by his resignation
as alderman from the First ward is
sufficient to condemn him. Bladel
should have resigned in time to have
had candidates for the unexpired
term in the First ward nominated for
election with the remainder of the
ticket. He could have done this
when he became a candidate for the
nomination for city clerk. But Bla-
del preferred to be sure of the nom-
ination before he resigned, and then,
too, he had the advantage of it being
too late to fill the vacancy now, SO
that in the event of his defeat for
clerk, he may have the chance to run
again for his old seat in the council
at a special election at the peoples
expense. 1t was the emergency that
Bladel was locking after. and he is
very apt to have chance to take ad-
vantage of it. as the pchlic is very
well satisfied with its preset city
clerk and is not disposed to put ISa
affairs of the office in the hands of q
man who will be obliged to delegate
the duties to another.

WHERE THE MONEY GOES.

The Legitimate Campaign Expenses and
TIE Uniea's Howl
The Union contains . lot of rot on
the score that the democratic party
has raised . campaign fund in the
perfectly legitimate channels con-
Quoted by the republican party in
variably in municipal elections in the
past. Realizing that the republicans
had all the money they desired to
boost their candidates into Office, the
democratic party has sought through
proper methods and small contribu-
tions from democrats to raise the
money actually necessary for cam
paign expenses. No money has been
thrown broadcast as has been the
case on the other side. because the
democrats have not had it. And rs
far as the methods of New York and
Chicago are concerned, there is
nothing that so much approaches it
as the way republican funds have
been thrown right and left in the
First ward by Knox. Miller and
Bladel, and q further instance
of which was the way Knox.
Maj. Beardsley. Schoessel and Boney
johnson went through the Fifth
ward in the rain Saturday
night, turning everything wide open
in the interest of 1.-THE entire repub b.
lican ticket" as they expressed it.
The democrats have no money for
that kind of business, nor do they
want it, but with the direct purpose
Of creating in the minds of the hang
ers-on the impression that they have
and are not SO spending it. the Onion
concocted the article in it's issue Of
yesterday. The democratic party
has not the funds at its command
that the republicans have. Mr..
Kuschmann is a man of limited
means, and the same is true of the
other candidates. They have not the
resources in the way OF a bank at
their command that Steve Collins has,
and yet the foxy Steve managed last
fall to get good sized assessment
out of every republican who was run
ming for a county Office. and consid
cradle money from the other wealthy
republicans besides.

MILAN, April 1.-The first boat
which has been reported up the canal
for over 4 week passed through the
canal and tied up at the levee for the
night. The government steamer
Mac and dredge Ajax, besides four
other barges came up Sunday after
having dredged . S0-foot cut into
lock 81. The dredge will be at work
near Milan for nearly . week, and on
going down, will finish work 1t the
Mississippi. after which the canal
will be opened for traffic. The locks
all worked well and the canal is in
good shape with the exception of q
few places in the banks, which will
be fixed when the rip-rapping is done
bv boat this summer. We had the
pleasure of ride up the canal from
lock Sc, and the first decoration in
honor OF the first boat was in front Of
the Goble residence on Big island.
Other Milan boys on the boat were
Israel Post, Fred Glow aud Hawley
Pinkley. As soon as the people
heard of the boat, great crowds
gathered on the bridge and levee and
witnessed the first of the many boats
which will hereafter pass through
the canal.
Thomas Cannon, an employe Of c.
H. Dibbern, met with an accident Sat
urday morning at Sickles. Preston &

him up for some time. He was COM
ing through q morrow hall and in
tended to swing himself down into
the wagon from a door about 10 feet
above but missed his footing
and fell. striking fire door
which dislocated his arm and threw
him under the horses feet. A doctor
was summoned and fixed his arm up
in good shape, after which he came
home and is getting along splendid.
