The rumor that Roosevelt is coming TO
Washington 10 resign is still persistent
At the same time, the movement to make
him the Republican nominee for governlr
of New York seems to be taking on sub
stantial form. From beginning In pa
triotic sentiment It has come to have
conspicuous place in the politics of the
State. Col. Roosevelt talks freely about
the "crackerjacks,' as he calls the Rough
Riders, but is mum on the subject of the
governorship- His friends. however, are
active, and the machine is not opposing
him with any surface vigor. Roosevelt
campaign buttons are everywhere in New
York. One manufacturer alone is said to
be turning cut $4,000 of the buttons daily.
and his orders are nowhere near an end.
It viii be the policy of the Administra-
ton to move slowly in the matter of
Government changes for both Cuba and
Porto Rico. The American commission
ers will be given elaborate Instructions
and will go 70 Havana and San Juan to
meet Spanish commissioners and arrange
the details OF evacuation They Will for
some time practically represent the Unit
ed States Government on both islands
Good order will be maintained but local
conditions will not be changed. The com
missioners will devote their attention to
the evacuation. Not until the Spanish
troops are out of the islands will this
Government proceed to the general work
of reconstruction and even then it will
! move slowly. 1t is doubtful If military
governors will be appointed until the
evacuation is finished. Troops will not
be sent to Cuba for some weeks. unless
pressing occasion for their presence
should develop.

The Administration learns on good au-

suffering among the poor of Havana as
there was two weeks ago. In the first
place well-to-do Spaniards in that city,
realizing that the colony is lost, are anx-
iouS to conciliate the CubanS and one
way they have of doing it is TO feed the
poor. Soup houses have been estab-

There is nothing inappropriate in Arch
bishop IreIand's activity on behalf OF his
church in the Philippines" said a promi-
nent Roman Catholic layman last night.
''r hope his position VIII not be misunder-
stood. The church always advises the
faithful TO be loyal. and therefore, If the
Vatican is obeyed, the religious orders of
the Philippines will at once adapt them
selves 10 the new state of affairs. They
cannot and will not expect 10 get tithes,
as the American Government recognizes
no state religion. AT the same time tho
property Of these orders is held in fee
simple, and coniscation OF property is as
repugnant to American institutions and
traditions as is a state supported religion.
The Pope did not conceal his anxiety for
the safety Of the faithful when the fall of
Manila became inevitable. He at once
invoked the protection of this Govern
ment for them. and now that the city is
occupied by the American army. he has
communicated with the President through
an American archbishop. There is moth
ing TO cover up about the matter. II was
the natural course for the Vatican 10
take and Archbishop Ireland was the
most suitable man for the mission

The contract for the construction of
the storage dam at Hay Lake has been
let to Messrs. Mcdonald & Leonard. of
Lamar, Colorado. The dam is to be "a
feet in heighth by $50 feet in length.
Careful calculations made by expe-
rienced engineers estimate that the
dam, when completed, will make a res
ervoir capable of holding 10000 acre
feet OF water, or 15,O0O,000,0O0 gallons.
Allowing liberal quantity for irriga-
ting purposes, this reservoir will be
capable of reclaiming $4,000 acres of
land. That amount of land under cul-
tivation surrounding Winslow would
be of incalculable benefit to our town,
to say nothing Of the advantages to
health of having pure mountain water
for drinking and domestic purposes,
and an unlimited supply, with pressure
sufficient to throw water over four
story building, without the assistance
of artificial power, in case of fire. We
shall have more to say on this subject
in the near future.

A writer in knowledge makes vivid
picture of the great belt of clouds
some 800 miles in breadth, which sur
rounds the earth little north of the
equator. Within this belt rain almost
incessantly falls, sometimes in sheets
and the wind seldom stirs. Bet ore the
invention of steamships, vessels be-
calmed in the ''cloud belt" sometimes
drifted helpless for weeks. Even now
the crossing of this belt, where every
thing is surcharged with moisture, is
disagreeable experience for voyagers
going from the North to the South At
lantic ocean, or vice versa. The belt
can be traced across equatorial Africa
and across the American isthmus, and
the great rivers Amazon, Orinoco, Nile,
Niger and Congo arise in these rain
soaked regions, which are like exhaust
less reservoirs. The cause of the equa-
torial cloud belt is connected with the
tradewinds, and in the course of a year
it oscillates north and south over dis
tance equal to about three times its own
breadth-M & S. Press.

gin next week on new pipe line from
Clear Greek into the city. The pump
house is to be moved down the stream
some distance which will lessen the
length of the line, and the pipe is to be
eight inches in diameter, which will
double the present supply of water for
the city The street mains are also to
be enlarged to eight inch pipe. Now is
the time for our citizens to get togeth-
er and take some steps looking to the
protection of our city from fire. The
railroad company have always express
ed their willingness to second the ef-
forts of the town in organizing a fire
department. When laying the new
mains, it will be but little trouble to
attach fire plugs, and the reduction in
insurance rates would soon repay our
citizens for their outlay in protecting
their property from fire.
