DISTRICT COURT.
The Case of Slosser vs. Salt River Val
 ley Canal Company Begun.

Several cases were heard in district court yesterday. Among them was an ejectment proceeding by Major J. w. Evans, administrator of the estate of Richard Garside, against Allen. The property involved is a part of the Bryan tract, another part Of which figured in the famous Bryan-Kales case which is still before the court Allen the defendant, is tenant of the property. occupying it under a lease from John J. Casey. Another suit by Major Evans as administrator of the Garside estate against D. L. Mur- ray, county treasurer, was heard. This is an action brought to restrain the treasurer from executing a tax title to the property.
 The proceedings of the day were closed with the opening of Henry Slosser and others against the Salt River Valley Canal comranv. This suit was begun some time before Judge Baker left the bench, but it had never reached trial. It embraces some i'm portant questions, among which is the right of land owners under the canal to buy water without having be- come shareholders. It is claimed that the land in this region is entitled to the water by priority of appropria- tion In some respects the suit is sim liar to one brought and heard three years ago in which the plaintiffs were minority shareholders in the Salt River Valley canal.

A ROAD TO GLOBE.
MT. w. A. Kimball of Mesa Writes
 Pointedly on the Subject.

Editor Arizona Republican, Sir: In your issue of today I see an ed 1torial headed "A Road to Globe" You say that you will soon have more to say on the subject, which I hope you may, as certainly the subject is one of paramount importance to the people of the Salt River valley.
 There is no better market for the farmer and producer than prosperous mining camp, and today we are shut ol of this market of Globe for no other reason than the want of a good road, the people of Globe getting the goods from California that we ought to and would supply lnem with if we could get them
 1 have recently been ever the coun- try with Mir. Robert Bowen and I am satisfied that good road can be built, over which four horses can Haul 4,00O pounds, at an expense Of S6000 and old road; and the road would run through a. belt Of small timber suit able for mining purposes and for fuel and fencing as well as tap a belt con- taining plenty of lime, which we could in consequence burn for ourselves in stead of buying in California as at present
 In short, here at our very doors al most, is a good market, at present in- accessible to us from the want Of a road. A little enterprise will give us the road; shall we have it?

WE MAY GET THE CLEOPATRA.
A Fast Canadian Yacht That Might be
 Made a Torpedo Destroyer.

Toronto, April 7.-The United States government is trying to buy war yes sells in Toronto. The Poison Iron works received from the navy depart ment at Washington a few days ago a request for information as to wheth- CT vessels suitable for war purposes were to be purchased in Toronto. As a consequence of this dispatch F. B. Poison is now engaged in nego iating for the purchase by the United States government of the well known steam yacht Cleopatra, owned by T. G. Blackstock and Albert Gooderham
 The Cleopatra is a staunchly built iron vessel, and is easily capable of seventeen knots in any weather She is most handsomely fitted out, but her upper works might be altered readily for war purposes. In the event of the purchase of the Cleopatra she would be fitted out as torpedo boat de- stroyer. and as the neutrality laws would prevent her sale after war had begun, the negotiations will probably be finished one way or the other with in few hours.
