CIVIL ENGINEERS MEET.
They Will Lend Their Aid to the
 Cause of Irrigation.

A meeting of the civil engineers present in the city, was held last evening at the opera house for the puf- pose of considering the matter of or ganizing a permanent association of engineers.
 There was good attendance, though the meeting had been called upon short notice, there being present about twenty men, well-known in that pro- fession.
 MT. George J. Roskruge of Tucson, surveyor-generalo of Arizona, was made chairman of the meeting, and H. R. Patrick of Phoenix, secretary.
 It was declared to be the sense of the meeting that such an association should be formed, that it would pro- mote fraternal feeling among it's mem bers, operate to their mutual benefit, extend scientific work and become a prominent factor in the development of the irrigation enterprises of the ter ritory. A committee consisting of Messrs. ,Roskruge of Tucson, Cotton of Florence, and Hancock, Dobbins and Patrick of Phoenix was selected to formulate the plan of organization, to report at a meeting at the office of F P. Trott, county surveyor, at the court house at 6:30 o'clock tonight, to which time and place the meeting adjourned An urgent invitation is extended tc all engineers in the city to attend this meeting.

TWO ROBBERIES.
Coffee Af' and Jeweler Chamberlain
 Lose Costly Articles.

Two robberies occurred last Satur- day night, but the facts were kept very quiet. On the night mentioned Coffee Al" Williams was robbed of a gold watch and $500, the latter being mostly in checks upon which payment has been stopped. MT. Williams was asleep at the time. The robber left behind a heavy stick with a spike driven in it which doubtless was in- tended as a weapon of defense should MT. Williams show fight. The other robbery was that of Chamberlain jewelry shop in the Phoenix grocery store. Three gold watches were taken from this place. The robbers are sup posed to be a long distance from Phoenix by this time.

of fellow delegate explained what would follow if this course were pur- sued. The remark was: "Cede 'em all the lands and let 'em go to hell. They would go'that way. There would be a pell-mell race to the internal re- giOns.
 MT. O'Neill indorsed MT. Smiths opposition to the bill.
 Judge Wright, author of the Wright law, spoke several minutes on the sub ject. He is a gifted speaker, of classic mold of features, and logician of great power. He thought the ces- sion of lands by the general govern ment should be on conditions. In de- livering them internationally there was danger that the state legislatures might be overcome by the argumenta- tive powers of a light-fngered lobby. Legislators, said MT. Wright in fine vein of irony, are sometimes easily convinced by sums of money to appease and please their consciences.
 The greater part of the afternoon was taken up in the discussion of the bill It was dissected, amended, laid on the table, buried, resurrected, and, together with Mr. Maxwell's amend ment, the resolution was finally passed.
 After the passing of resolutions of thinks to the press, Chairman Booth and the secretaries of the congress, and the passing of resolution extend ing greetings to the southern irriga- tion congress, urging them to affiliate with the national body, National Sec retary Heintz approached the foot lights to ask for the amounts pledged by several states at the last conven- ton. Dix w. Smith announced that New York would contribute $100. MT Orr followed with pledge of $50 from Illinois.

The horticultural Report

The third biennial report of the
state board of horticulture filed with
the governor shows that the natural
advantages Of this state for the pro-
ductiOn of fruits common to the tenn
perate zone are second to none in the
union, needing now only such infor-
nation as practical experience and OBJ
sergation can give as to tee adaptable
ity of different fruits to diverse cOndi-
tons of climate in the state. The an
nual fruit productions now valued at
$4,000 600, and five years hence will be
$10,000,000. Northern tier of states
living west OF the Mississippi soon will
depend almost entirely upon Washing
ton for the fruit supply. Experience
proves that the depreciation of insect
pests and fungous growth, common to
tree and plant life, can be kept we'll in
check by education of growers. For
this end the board is continually work
ing. The prospects of increased mar
ket facilities are very encouraging,
shipments Of apples being made from
Tacoma to Japan direct and as new
venture TO Russia, which promises to
be an immense field for commerce. A
new danger to fruits threatened in
the opening of communication with
the orient in the introduction of new
and dangerous fruit pests, and it is
recommended that the guarantee of all
arriving plants and trees be given
watch.nl attention. The expenses of
the board since April l, 1895, have
been $4,S92.3S.

Planting Pacific Salmon.

Washington, Dec. 4 -Under the d.
rection of Commissioner Brice a large
number of Pacific coast salmon are to
be planted in eastern waters. A fish
car containing 100000 eggs is now
on tie way east and the eggs will be
planted in the Kennebec, Penobscot,
Merrimac, Hudson, Delaware aud Sus-
quehanna rivers, Already 5000 year
llngs have been turned loose in the
PenObscOt and the commission is graf
flied with It's work on the Pacific coast
this year. This year 100000 eggs
have been Matched, three times as
many as were Matched in any previous
year. OF these 26,000,000 were hatch
ed at the new station at Battle Creek,
a tributary of the Sacramento in Cali
fOrnia. The commissioner secured a
site which belonged to the California
commission and has built an addition
al hatchery there. 1t is now regarded
as one of the best stations in the Uni
ted States. Not the least important
action of the fish commission is the
transfer of the steel-head trout from
the Pacific to the Atlantic toast, where
a large number have been planted

Celt does not appear to be particularly
artistic. The Auvergnats are almost
pure Celt, and yet their reputation
mainly rests upon their capacities as
as cabmen. The true Celt, e. Riviere
asserts, is chiefly to be found in a belt
drawn across France from Savoy to
Low Brittany. and he has not been
identified at all in the United Kingdom.

A Chance for improvement

1t seems ridiculous in the opinion

lie ted in November should not CONVEX
in regular session for more than yea {.
In the meantime the issues upon whic
the meml ers were chosen have been
forgotten and new questions have arts :
Ell in their stead. It does seem as
tn ough the first session of congress
should begin in the March following
it's election. This rule was all right
when adopted. for then it took months
to ascertain Whr was elected, but now
the result is ascertained within few
days after the election and it should be
changed. Congress should meet while
the verdict of the people is fresh in the
minds of the members.
THE editor of the Review Of Reviews
is COMMENCED that the verdict against
free silver pronounced on November 3
was conclusive that Mr.. Bryan's cause
cannot survive defeat, that the South
will never again cast so large vote
for it, and in short, that as PROPOSE
ton in practical politics free silver's
prospects are utterly hopeless.

A case Of electricity generated by a
plate Of false teeth occurred recently
in England. A man feeling a severe
pain in his tongue consulted doctor
and dentist, neither of whom could find
anything wrong. He then went TO an
electrician, who found that his false
teeth were fastened TO the composition
plate with two metals. They were con-
nected by wires to galvanometer,
which, as soon as the metals were
moistened by the saliva, showed eur
rent strong enough to cause liberation
and severe pain. The plate was COW
cred with an insulating varnish, which
put an end to the trouble.

Edicts Against CoaI.

It is said that when coal was first
used in England the prejudice against
it was so strong that the house of COM
mons petitioned the king to prohibit
the further use of the internal and
noxious fuel' A royal proclamation
having failed to abate the nuisance,
commission was appointed to ascer-
tain who burned ''coles" within the
limits of the city of London; to punish
by branding for the first offense and
by demolition Of the furnaces for the
second. Finally, when minor punish
ments had no effect, a law was passed
making coal burning a capital otfense.
In the records Of the Old Tower there
is an account of a man who was hanged
there for no other crime than that of
using coal for fuel contrary to royal
edict; this in the time of Edward I.
