THE Republican, while it charges ''jobbery" on the High School Board of Trustees, men in whom the community has every confidence else it would not have elected them to the position they occupy, forgets or refuses to see thss there may equally as we'll and with more probability be real estate job on the other side. We leave the question to any honest man if the location of the Churchill property is not equal to any other that can be furnished in this city; if it is not cheaper than any otber of equally good location. As to the build ing now on the site, the prominent question is: "What is wanted in high school building?" Certainly nos an sg
 gregatIon of large closely seated rooms such se are necessary in our grammar school building. On the other hand number of recitation rooms are indis- pensabie and these large enough to ac- commodste ten to twenty persons for sn hour at time These the present building amply provides. Again one or two large assembly halls are essential. These the Board propose to provide in the erection of building for which purpose they would have S15,OOO or nearly that much. The HERALD be- lieves the purchase of that property
 would be s matter of public economy
 It believes the accommodations would
 be ample and ss thoroughly suited to the purpose ss though especially built for that purpose. It believes we will have more and better accommodations tor the money expended than could possibly be provided in an attempt to purchase another block of land for
 which speculstors want $1O,OOO, out of town, W hers land is worth about one- half that value, and attempting to put up the necessary building with S2O,OOO. There are majority of our best citi
 zens believe with the HERALD and they have st least as much right to their preference ss tue proprietor of the Re
 publican and the men who are using him.

THE TURKISH QUESTION.
Turkey Refuses the Demands of the
 Ambassadors.

CoNsTANTINoPLE, July 6.-Oontrsry
 to expectation, the decision of the ooun- oil of ministers vas nos favorable to the demands of the ambassadors relative 10 the Greek Turkish frontier negotia- tions. The situation is therefore re- gsrded as very strained. The Turkish reply virtually Implies rupture of ne- gotiations and thst the powers must make concession or adopt measures to enforce theiF decision. To is reported that the grand vizier has decided that he will never sign an agreement based on the strategic lines proposed by the am basssdors. At the same time 1t is thought in some quarters that the atti- tn de of the Turkish government is de- signed to enable the Sultan to yield later by sacrificing some of his minis rers and rumors of impending cabinet changes are already current on the bOurso.

CERTAIN gentlemen. notably MT.

CERTAIN gentlemen, notsbly MT. Claus Sprecklee, the California sugar king, have been expressing more conf dences in the rejection of the treaty for the annexation of Hawaii, to which they are violently opposed, than there is anything in sight to justify. But there Is reason for their condolences, as will be fully apparent before Con- gress meets next winter. Is lies lin the manipulation of big corruption fund to create pu blic sentiment against the treaty with the hope that enough Sens- tors can be influenced to prevent the necessary two-ehirds vote being obtain ed for ratification of the treaty. And sll of this corruption fund will not come from American sugar men. A considerable portion of it will come from the secret fund of European gov- erDments. There are at least two Euro
 
 in the failure of the treaty than Japan is. But being smarter than the Jsps, they have not protested and will not protest against the treaty, but will try to accomplish it's defeat by the use of money, just Hs they have before tried, and sometimes succeeded in influencing the course of the United States. Is is really 8 great pity that this scheme could not be headed eff by the Fatifoa- tion of the treGty by the Senate at this session, but it is known that the oppo- nents of She treaty would not allow vote to be taken on the treaty at this session, even if it were possible to keep B quorum of the Senate in Washington tor any considerable time after the tariff bill has been passed.

ONE MORE FRAUD.

The l. os Angeles Times of the first instant has ''epe cisp' from Santa Fe
 which contains a renewal of the story
 of another land grant. Is will be noted
 however that the grant is very iude6
 n!tely located and supposed to be up-
 ward of four times the extent of the at
 tempted Rssvis steal. If the new pro-
 position is founded on the same claims
 thsy are utterly without foundation
 and at any rate the Government would
 meet she case and protect the settlers
 in every instance. Here is the special
 from Santa Fe:
 "SANrA FE, N. M., July 1.-[Specisl
 Dispatch. l-E. A. Garcia, a lawyer from
 Monterey, Mex, who also has sn office as San Antonio, has beer here some days consulting with prominent ettor- neys respecting the filing in the United States land cours of another Peralts- grant claim, besides which the bogus claim of PeFslta-Reevis stands as mere bagstelle. Garcia alleges to have ac oese to the original Spanish archives to substantiste the validity of the Peralte grant for 5O,OOO,0OO acres of lsDd in Ari- zons, Mexico and southern New Mexico. The Perslta- Rsavis claim was for only 12,OO0,0 ,0O0screF, ,and in prosecuting it some of bhs principal capitalists of California and New York spent million dollers, only to end in the govern ment proving the claim a gigantic fraud and the re- suit of a conspiracy.
 Rsavis, an aged ard broken man, Is now serving 8 two years sentence in she United States prison at Santa Fe. Garcia says the mistake made by Resvis was in going to the oity of Mexico and to Madrid and Seville, Spain, in search of the original grant documents, and in perpetrsting bupgling forgeries when he failed to find them. That the grant exiete Garcia claims to have indispus- able evidence. He states that in 1921, at the close of she revolt of Mexico against Spain, the officers of the latter undertook the official ar chivee to Madrid, but these records only got as far ss Havana, Cubs, whence they were efterward transported to San Luis Potosi, where they are today in perfect order.
 Garcia states that be holds power of attorney from heirs residing at Monte- rey, San Luis Pososl, San Jose and Los Angeles, Gal. to the number of 800 and will file soon iu their behalf B claim, backed by ample documentary evidence 10 the original Peraisa grant of 50000, 1 100 acres.
 In the meantime J. A. Peralta- | Reavis has served out one-helf of his l sentence, and with good time allowance will be released from prison next May. | Ia the District Court today five indict- nents for fraud growing out of his with the PeFalba grant were dismissed on the motion of United States Attorney Reynolds. One other ndictment against him and Miguel Noe, son of a Californian, Is still pend ng here."

MIDDLE OF THE ROAD POPS
Bryan and Butler Will be Rt ad Ont

Bryan ana Butler Will be RG ad Ont of the Party.
 NASHVILLE, Tenn. July 3-In accord ance with call issued by the commit tee of the National Reform Press Asso- citation appointed as the Memphis con-
 vention in February last, the Nashville conference of the middle-of-the-road Populists will open here on Monday.
 The announcement of the gathering in- inmates that the first session will be held on July 4tb, but the executive committee overlooked the fact that the Nations birthday fell this year on Sun day; and consequently no attempt will
 be made to transact business tomorrow. Quite a number of delegates have ar rived and according to the prevailing sentiment, the convention will be com pletely under the control of Thomas E.
 Watson, of Georgia, the candidate of bhe middle.of the-rosd Populists for Vios- President of the United States in the campaign of last year, and will turn the tables on the fusion element of She party by reading both W. J. Bryan and Senator Marion Butler, chairman of Che national committee of ebe regulars, out of the Populiss ranks. Bryan, so say the delegates on the ground, deserves no consideration for his treatment of Watson, while Butler proved traitor to Populist principles by promoting the fusion of last fail. Unless milder coun- sells prevail-snd this Is very unlikely the forthcoming convention will simply throw Senator Butler and the national committee of the regular Populists overheard, put Watson in Buffers place and declare itself the only simon pure Populist party in the country.

THERE are yet few people left about Phoenix who imagine thst they can purchase goods by mail cheaper than they can here 50 home. The fact is they cannot do is. The satisfaction of havings things as you want them which rarely eveR is the case, is worth more than any small difference in prics and if theEe is difference it is necessarily small. When you perronizs home in . dustFy your money comes back to you; when yoo patronizs foreign trade your money leaves the business of the community for good. Stand by your home people.

SMALL TYPE PROVISIONS.

It would pay those taking out insur- euoe, either fire, life or accident, to read the Ism all type" provisions of all the companies. There are some of those provisions that are rather "oatchy." The San FraucIsco Report, for instance, publishes the following on the 'small type" provisions:
 The refusal of sp accident insurance company to pay 0 S5OO0 policy on the late Little Pete's" fife on the ground that "Little Pete" was murdered and not scoldently killed is an interest ing incident. I5 appears that one of the numerous provisions that are printed in such small type in policies. but mean so much to the insurer is, in this case, that the policy is void should the death of the holder be due to Intentional ip1u- ries inflicted by the insured or any other person. A railroad passenger killed by the intentional derailing of train would, iD law, be the victim of murder. So would a man killed in defending himself OF his property against foot pad or a burglar. The clause consider ably nsrrows the risk the company takes, and the chances the policy holders heirs have of collecting. But it is all right as long es the insurer knows what he is doing when he takes out the policy. An insurer against ac- cident OF anything else who does not read his policy before paying his premi- um ought to be taken before the Super for court and have guardian appoint ed for him. But it is astonishing how many insurers do not take that neces- sRry preceution.

THE growing of spricots in shis valley has proved to be very remunerative in- dustry, though, like every other in- dustry, it has It's "oef" years, and this Is one of them, owing to the very early bloesomirg of the trees which resulted in the crop being caught by the frost, which destroyed fully three-tourths of the usual crop. Speaking of this in- dustrY we'll known gentleman of this city, who Is largely interested in She business, informs us that last year when the crop was good and maaursd early, he realized @ net return of $1OOO per oeF on the fruit, but euff cred some extra losses on account of the failure of the railroads 50 fulfill their proposition in getting the fruit into the market on time. With a proper railroad service, which should lay down 8 carload of fruit in Chicago inside Of five days, and sbe early season at which the crop
  ripens here, there is probably no in dusSry that will succeed with proper management like the shipping of fresh fruits into the eastern markets, as the shipping of spricots has demonstrated, but the essentials to success must be observed, and they are, good fruit, ripened early, carefully picked and packed and put on the market at the earliest possible moment after being picked. With these essentials observed there is whole los of money for the grower in the fresh fruit business in this valley; but the business must be made study. ond carefully managed, juet es any other successful business is handled.

He said: "The talk about the Republican being torn with inteFnecine strife is erTsnt nonsenss. We are thoroug hly united and harmonious and will win in Ohio this year by heavy mrjority. There is no sort of doubt about 1t, and away down in their hearts I do not believe the Democrats think they have any show of success. There Is no Oemo- cratic party in our State, anyway, for those who used to be Democrats have gone over to the Populists."

SPECIAL sUGR BEET BULLETIN
Important to all Sugar Beet Crow
TUCsoN, Ariz., July l, 1897.

CTS.
 TUCSON, Ariz,, July l, 1897 DEAR SIF:-Io most instances the sugar beets planted lest spring in ATT zona are attaining large eize. Some are growing too rspidly and are already as large ss they should be eb maturity largely to an excess of water. All beete one and 8 half inches or more in diane ter at shis time should bs grown from from now to the end of the season with as little water ss possible and keep them in healthy condition. From Au- gust first till harvest give still less water.
 Almost sll the experiment plots have one imperative eneed-cultivstion. The beess should be cultivated often and thoroughly, not only 50 keep down the weeds but to keep the soil mellow. Gull tivstion develops the sugar and this is the important item. It Is already evil dent that the beets can be grown suc- cessfully, but 1t remains to be demon tain a sufioiens amount of aaccharine matter to make them profitable. The thing to do, therefore, is to so handle the crop for the rest of the season so to to develop the sugar contents. The one thing nore needful than any otn CT to do thls is to ssiR the soil often and stir it well.
 At the proper time instruotions will be sent you hoy and when to take samples for anely5is, aud how to eend them. Ia the mean tims do nos neglect your beet experiment.. Keep the so q cuItivated. Very respectfully yours,
 WM STOWE DEvoL,
 Director P. S.-If any insects are found in- turing the beets, collect samples of them and send for Identification.
