AN uNISHAB1TAaLz DEaERr

Is in truth the most productive land on the
 globe, and that there is water in abundance
 to bring every foot of it under cultivation,
 only waiting for the magic wand of capital to develop it. There is no water-storage scheme on the Pacific coast that has one-haf the natural advantages and so few engineer ing difficulties as the Butte reservoir. Here nature has built the abutments in eyer-liv- ing rock, and all that is left for man to do is the gorge being only separated by paltry 20 feet. 4 country is drained through this narrow canyon 200 miles square, representing 40,000 square miles. or larger than Maine and Massachusetts combined. The rainfall Is suf- ficient to fill the reservoir twice a year, and the land to be brought under cultivation is practically limitiess. This may read like fairy tale but it is every word true and has been verified time and again.

In fact, in a residence of sixteen years in Arizona the writer has only known two persons to be overcome by the heat md they recovered. Their condition however. was more tile result of whisky than heat. The air is so dry here that registered fenluerature of 110 degrees is not as oppres- give Bs 80 degrees in St. Louis or New York. The Signal Service bureau has recognized this fact. and reports the difference between tha apparent and sensible temperature to be fnlls 3j degrees.

Miles Is Having a WaIkOyer

Ponce, via St. Croix, August
l.-Porto Rico is turning Ameri-
can rs fast rs the United States
troops advance. The citizens of
the island are enthusla site in Civ
ing much help in locating recre-
ant Spaniards. Large numbers
have been brought into the cities
by viSilant citizens and turned
over to the troops. After sign
ing their paroles the prisoners are
released. With hardly an eX-
ception, the paroled prisoners
join with the crowd in praising
and assisting the Americans.
The troops advanced Saturday
night toward the outposts Of San
Juan. Juana DiaZ, twelve miles
from Ponce, was the third town
taken by the troops, Guanica be-
ing the first, then Yauco. When
the troops took possession Of the
latter the mayor issued a pro-
clamation exhOrting the citizens
to conduct themselves properly
toward the troops, also brilliantly
lauding America and cts arms.
The citizens are intensely loyal
TO our government. When the
troops arrived the citizens fell
upon their knees and embraced
the legs of the soldiers, a truly
remarkable reception for an in
vading army. At Ponce today
posters were issued by the mayor,
upon the order of General Will
son, demanding the surrender of
all arms, declaring il the duty of
every citizen to inform where
arms were concealed. A great
number of arms have been turned
in to date. 1t is thought over
1000 Spaniards will sign paroles.
The campaign is being pushed.
Miles expresses great satisfaction.

SAFE GOVERNMENT FIRST.

The policy which the President has out
lined in his instructions to the military gov
ernor of Santiago for the government of
that province will not meet with the ap-
prevail of the Cubans who are called pa
triots. They want full control. Those who
are under arms at Santiago desired to be-
gin their rule by looting the houses of SAINT
iago preparatory to entering upon the gov
eminent of the province, which means OPP
pressing and robbing those who have been
their enemies. The President could not per-
NIT men with such ideas to come into con-
troll of the city and province. He has es-
tablished a military government which will
give security and freedom under law to all
the people. The local laws will not be
changed, and the local magistrates will be
continued If they observe justice. When
they appear to be qualified Cubans will be
given places in the government. Already
the customs duties have been decreed to be
the same for all nationalities. For the first
time in the history of the province the
customs duties will be fairly collected and
honestly accounted for. The people will be
made secure in life, property and the pur-
suit of employment. 1t will be novel ex-
perience for the residents of Cuba, but it
must be one that they will like
1t is possible that the opponents of the
administration will assert that the military
government established at Santiago is not
the government which has been promised
Hhe resolution of Congress pledges the es-
tablishment of a stable popular government
Government must first give peace and Sc
curity to the people. That will be more
nearly popular than to recognize as popular
a government set up by one of the factions
in Cuba. For the present. and until all
Cuba is under control of the United States,
what is or is not the popular will cannot be
determined. When peace and security
which it gives shall prevail under military
government it will be ample time to talk
Of popular government. At the present
time popular government based upon the
will of the majority is impossible. Under
peaceful conditions the population of Cuba
will be largely increased by the emigration
thereto of people of intelligence, who will
carry industry and development to the ISL
and. When such an accession of popula-
ton gives people fit for self-government.
it can be established. To confer the power
to govern upon one element of the inhabi-
tants of Cuba will be to turn the other over
to foes who have no mercy and no idea of
modern government. Those who went into
war for humanity's sake must forbid a
new reign of terror and pillage in the same
name. Thanks that a recognition of the
republic Of Cuba does not interfere with
the duty of humanity.

the proposition to have the city purchase
the water works. While the general senti-
ment is in favor of purchase, citizens are
averse to having the city pay more than
the plant is worth. 1t is impossible to as
certain accurately the value of the prop
erty, but a committee of the club such as
has acted for it on many occasions in the
interest of the city could institute an in
quiry that would furnish the people with
such information as would show them
whether the proposition of Mr.. Hord is one
which should be accepted. Yesterday the
Journal published some facts relative to
the value of water works in other cities
where they have been sold or offered. They
are worth careful study AS the basis of
an investigation these statistics might help
a committee to make it clear whether it
is for the interest of the people to purchase
the works or not The subject should be
discussed, and for that discussion time is
needed. To pay higher taxes twenty-five
years to purchase a water plant and not
TO obtain lower water rates for long peri
cd is not what the citizen desires If that
is not the result of the present plan the
opposite has not been made clear
