He was one man who never weakened during the fatal drouth few years ago and bought cat tle as low as four dollars a head, using his salary as sheriff and borrowing money to pay for cattle when they were dying on every range. As result, MT. Olney is now riding the wave of pros perity.

CATTLE THIEVES.
A Gang of Desperate Operators
 in Navajo County.

The Holbrook correspondent of the
 Winslow Mail gives the following par.
 tIculars of Deputy Sheriff Bargman's E
 arrest of a gang of cattle thieves who
 have long infested our neighboring
 county on the west:
 The gang of cattle thieves that have been pll
 laging the cattle owners of this county 'or more
 than year, have been finally run to earth, and
 we trust effectually dispersed. Some weeks ago Debuty Bargnnan had q running fight with three of them in the Pleasant Valley country, slightly wounding Kid Walker and Gentry, and succeed. ing in driving them ont of the country MA Burke, one of the gang, was arrested last week charged with stealing and killing beef. not his own personal property. on the range near Fay lor in this county. And. by the way, this is the ttird crime and arrest of Burke, since the last term of court, at which tune two indictments were found gainst him by the grand jury. On his arrest last week he subpoenaed his son and young man named Hancock as witnesses in his behalf Deputy Bargman at once left in search ofthe witnesses, and run on to them near Hcber, with bunch of seventeen unbranded calves in a temporary corral in the mountains He at once arrested them. brought them to Hol- brook, and at their preliminary examination on Monday, both boys plead guilty. While Burke was waiting for the boys to come to town AS his witnes ses, some of his bordsmen on former charges withdrew from his bond. and as he was unable to secure others. he was thrown into jail When the TWO boys arrived in town, they were placed in the auxiliary jail, north of the track, and were not allowed to communicate with the older criminal Each boy was brought before the examining magistrate separately, and as they were caught red-handed, they each plead guilty to the charge, and implicated Burke, ST., as principal. Complaint was then sworn out against him When brought before the magis- trate, and. upon learning the plea of the boys, he broke down, confessed and entered plea of guilty. And thus, we hope, ends the career of the most persistent and desperate gang of thieves that every infested Arizona

1t IS mistaken idea that the militia should be ridlculed. Why should it be so? The military organization known as militia is annually giving more or less of military education to several thou. sands of men. This training will be found to be ofinvaluable service to the nation in case of war. In tIiese times, when the war cloud seems lowering, it IS out Of place for any loyal American to ridicule the military organization which congress has seen fit to institute.

They are all at Work.

Star l
 The inmates of the territorial prisor
 are all at work. They are now required
 to convert thelr time into value which is reducing the cost of their maintain ance, thus relieving the taxpayers oi the territory to that extent. One hun. dred and eighty are now on the work ing force, those not on the canal rolls are engaged in wood chopping and en- ployed about the prison. All wish to work as they prefer employment to idle ness. Supt. Darlington states that "all seem to be much better contented and less troublesome, and as a refOrmatory measure the industrial policy intro duced cannot be estImated." Here is another big credit mark to be placed to the administration of Gov. McCord- that of converting idleness in to wealth, and at the same time relieving the tax burdens of the people. And while prac- tIcally reforming the convicta. it results in adding taxable values to Arizona tax rolls. This is the kind of government policy which makes people loyal to those who adopt and enforce it.

Between tfe dam and this city they have located reservoir site, into which water fnr drinking and domestic purposes is to be carried by pipes This re<er. voir, MT. Walker informed us, would hold an ample supply for city use for two months. and was to be used for the purpose of insuring clear water for drinking and domestic purposes at all times. during the spring freshets and summer rains, This dam is to be used, when the entire system is completed. simply as diverting dam. The main dam, or the principal supply of water, is to come from Hay Lake some thirty miles above. From careful surveys and estimates made by expert engineers of the water shed tr butary 10 this system and the capaity of the reservoir sites located it tS claimed that suffi cient quantity can be impOunded annually, even in the dryest season, to reclaim 100000 acres of land The work hss been begun and we are credibly informed, there is ample capital back of it to insure its complet on.
