De=n TOT many years anu mas acne splendid work in many ways besides that Of pastor of the church. The re- suits which are crystalizing in favor Of the constructor of the Buttes dam and reservoir, is very largely due to his special efforts, both in Washington and through the press of the territory. Dr. Whiftemcre tcok up this work some years ago in the interest of the Indians to the end that they might be furnish ed with water for the cultivation of their lands and thus become self sus- taining. He is beginning to see the inauguration of a system of water stor- age which will net only supply the In- dians all the water they will require, but sufficient to reclaim 150,000 acres outside of the reservation and which will support a city of two thousand county That county and Arizona owe much 10 the good and earnest Dr. Whit temore.-Tucson Star.

 An alarm Of fire was turned in Thursday afternccn at 3:15 from the residence Of Dr. w. B. Purcell on north Main between Washington ant Frank lin streets. The department respond ed promptly but the fire had gained such headway that in a few moments the entire rear end of the house was in flames. The chemical had stream di- rected on the flames in a very short space of time and did effective work while the supply in the engine lasted. 4 hose was connected with fire plug but the pressure was so weak that a stream hardly larger than that from a garden hose was produced The chem ical was Techarged and succeeded in getting the fire under control but not until the building was g smoking ruins. The origin of the fire is unknown A member Of the family smelling smoke opened the door of room used for the purpose of storing trunks and found the room in a mass Of famss which quickly communicated to the rest of the house.

 Early Wednesday morning when Mrs. J. Henninger Of the Can Can res taurant opened up for business she dls- covered that robbery had been com mftted during the night and the safe containing nearly $500 in money had been relieved of it's contents. Investl- geticn of the robbery develops the fact that whoever was the guilty one he certainly was well acquainted with the premises and had no trouble whatever in accomplishing his designs. During MT. Hanninger's absence at Tucson serving as a United States grand juror. Mrs. Hanninger not knowing the com- bination, merely kept the safe on the day combination''-a turn of a few notches opening it at any time. The safe was left in this condition, making g it an easy matter for the intruder, who undoubtedly knew of tha circum- stances, to open the safe and make away with the money drawer. Besides, in effecting an entrance through the rear door, having first climbed ovsr an adobe wall into the yard, the robber was on friendly terms with the big watch dog, vicious one, for the deg made no noise and was turned out into the stre5t Altogether the circum- stances point to the robber being one who has evidently been very observant and on good terms with the dog, which may lead to a clew. Mrs. Henninger is cut over S4S0 and no immediate pros pect of recovering the money.-Tomb- stone Prospector.
 The question of providing a company of rangers in Arizona by the next leg islature will no doubt be tip for con sideration. Something of the kind is needed and badly needed to be ready at all times to look after such characters as Black Jack, "BronchO Bill" and Red Pitkin.'' Arizona has been CUTS ed and disgraced by these characters during the past two ysars and some drastic measures are necessary to make this territory too hot for outlaws Of whatever class. The expense oi running down such characters should be borne by the territory, for the good name of the territory and the peace Of it's citizens are involved. The county officials are handicapped because Of the provision of the fee laws which allows nothing to the officers for chasing cut laws unless they have a warrant fol their arrest, and then they get nothing unless they succeed in making cap ture. A sheriff cannot organize 2 posse and equip it as it should be te go after a skulking outlaw, who per haps has committed no crime in his county, without heavy expenss. Then nc matter how earnest or industrious may be his efforts, if he fails to capture tho r,,ap u-ontcd thcrn ic nc lau md or
