can be had for the asking, the outside
men are rarely called upon. Tho men
detailed by Acting Captain O'Brten, the
present head of the New York detective
force, to do society work, are always
selected because of their broad knowl~
edge of criminals They are the men
who have been long enough in the

BUILD THE CANAL.

The Enterprise canal has not
been touched now for about six
months on account of the warm
weather and busy season. But
now both are about over and it is
time to commense preparing for
active operations again.
This canal must be built. 1t is
the only salvation for the central
and lower portion of the valley in
the season of low water. 1t has
been demonstrated that the old
canals cannot procure water when
it is scarce, and we believe the
building of this canal will solve, to
a great extent, the water question
of this valley. 1t will at least,
have the advantage of being the
head canal, and it seems that this
is all that is necessary to procure
a good supply of water.
Through the Enterprise canal
can be run sflicient water, proper
ly taken care of to irrigate the en-
tire valley. 1t will be the means
Of reclaiming thousands of acres OF
good land, and making homes fol
hundreds Of families.
Let the canal be completed as
fast as possible, and let active mer
be sent among the people to awak
en- interest. Every farmer should
be interested, and another stock
holders meeting should be helC
and change the terminus from
Thatcher to Thomas. Then tn,
canal, when completed, would b'
doing the greatest good to thu
greatest number, would be facto,
in settling up the whole valley
and bring prosperity to all con
cerned.

A CANVASS made at Pima has
revealed the fact that the people
of that town do not want the coun-
ty seat but when election day
comes the votes cast against it
coming to Stafford will be so few
that they will hardly be worth
counting, and the reason they are
in favor of Stafford is because they
know that this is the best place in
the county for it, that its location
here will cause our county to be-
come one of the foremost in the
Territory, and that the people
here are in earnest about erecting
the court house free of cost to any
