PRICE OF A CHILD.

The most sensational claim ever
made in this county was filed with the
board Of supervisors against Maricopa
county yesterday. The claimant is
Ouirino Serrano, and the claim en-
braces single item as follows. "To
damages caused by the death Of child
at county pest house, which said death
was due to the negligence and lack of
care of said child by the persons hav-
ing authority for the said county of
Maricopa, $4,000.
This matter was alluded to in the
last report of DIR. Duffield, late city
physician. to the city council. The
leport contained criticism of the
county's management of the small
pox epidemic last winter. It included
a couple of afidavits, one Of which
was made by the claimant Serrano
regarding the QeaGn OF his child. lie
said that other members of his family
had been stricken with smallpox and
all were removed to the. pest house.
This child was seized with the disease
SO long after it had been put in the
pest house that it must have been
contracted in the building and not
from exposure previous to its removal
from it's home. The failure to vac
cinate the child is described in the
affidavit as an act of negligence, on
which the foregoing claim for dam
ages is based. It was also set forth
in the affidavit that the child did not
have the attention at the pest house
that its case required. Republican.

ACETATE THE QUESTION.

Arizona has lands enough to provide
homes for mary thousands of farmers
families. We have rain sufficient to
irrigate these lands, if it could be
saved by reservoir systems. This,
however, requires carital, and much
of it, But there is no use to which
the government could put few MIL
lions of dollars more profitably than
in the construction of water catch :
ments, or reservoirs for irrigation Of
it's public domain. 1t would result in
creating homes for thousands. who
would in turn produce millions of dol
lars in breadstuffs and other fruits OF
the soil. Arizona's paramount need
is the reclamation of her arid lards.
The soil is fat with richness and all
that is required to bring it forth is
the wedding of the lands with water.
Reservoirs which can conserve the
flood waters is the present necessity
To reach the government we must
make public opinion. This can best
be accomplished by agitation. The
press is the instrument, the power
that can accomplish more than any
other influence. Let the press con-
tinue its good work Of calling atten-
tion to this water storage and irrIga-
tion question. Congress will be made
to see it, if the press of the country
will keep it before the people. Star

Mr.. Ferguson of the Westinghouse
Manufacturing company spent several
days in Mesa last week. Mr.. Fer
guson came to Mesa for the purpose
of investigating the Consolidated
canal electric plant, which was put in
by his company, and also to test the
amount of horse power that is de-
veloped at the power house The
electric plant was found to be running
in frst-class order in every particular.
The amount of horse power that can
be developed was measured by means
of electrical appliances and was found
to be about 800 when 10th of the
turbine wheels that the plant is equip
ped with are running About As
horsepower is now being utilized to
generate the current that is supplying
Mesa and Tempe at present. This
leaves 255 horse power which will be
utilized for other purposes very soon
The company has arranged to put in
an engine at the power house very
soon. 1t having been found neces-
sary in case of emergencies or trouble
with water power. This plant is the
finest in gthe valley, and with it's
waterways, machinery, etc., has cost
about 100000 Republican.
