It = rumored in department head
quarters that there will be rafting
Of dry bones al some of the older west
ern posts in the near future. AS re-
suit of The shake-up, predictions are
that number of them will be stricken
from the list of necessary stations,
and either sold at auction or turned
over to the Indian service agencies.
Whfpple Barracks, Ariz., was aban-
doned some time ago, and but a small
handful of men are kept there under
Lieut.. Tupes. As negotiations for he
sale of this post are about completed,
the detachment will probably be with
drawn in short time, after which it
will be turned over to a cust odian, VIII O
will look after Uncle Sans interests
until the sale is consummated. 1t may
be used as training ground for sew
eral Arizona troops which are being
fitted for service at the front, but
nothing definite on this score is yet
known.
Five years ago II was thought the
height Of folly to think Of abandoning
and of the. Arizona military posts.
which sre in the region infested with
Apaches but to-day it seems to be the
settled policy of the government to
make these men seif-suppor,ing, and
therefore safe citizens. As rapidly as

piled with the Indians are admitted
to the rights of suffrage. These re
quirements are 1.-The severance of all
tribal relationships and the adoption
of fh q m nd ax q nd h a h;f n c;y;l;vat;1
This will soon cover the whole Apa che
tribe, once so bloodthirsty. and it Is
not improbable that the next Ave
months will see the abandonment of
Forts Apache, Grant and Huachuca, in
Arizona, and Wingate and Union, in
New Mexico. The only reason why the
government keeps troops in those God
forsaken regions now is because of
fancied fear of the Indians.
1t is also the policy OF the govern
ment to turn over all abandoned mill
itary posts in the Indian country to
the red men to be used "a agencies.
thus, in Utah can be seen the Ouray
agency, once the site of old Fort Roub-
idoux; in Montana can be seen the
Fort Peck agency, once the site of
a Of Indt name.
and in Arizona the Fort Defiance
agency fourishes where once stood
that sentinel of the advance of civil
ization westward, Fort Defiance.
In speaking of the Apaches re-
Gently, Gen. Sumner said: at is gen.
orally misunderstood, this question of
the Apache Indians. They are gen.
orally looked upon as being blood
thisrty, fierce warriors. On the con-
trary, never dealt with easier In
dians to handle. They are making as
rapid strides toward civilization as
any band in the United States, and no
more need watching than many of
the tribes of the Indian territory. The
Utes are vastly more turbulent and
troublesome."-Denver Times.

draft resolutions of coincidence upon
the death of Brother A. B. Dobson of
Harrington Lodge No. 228, of Her
rington, Kansas, beg leave to submit
the following:
Whereas, 1t has pleased the allwise
Providence to remove from us by
death our worthy brother, A. B. Dob
son; therefore, be it
Resolved, That we recognize the
sterling Christian character of our
brother, and that we extend to the
wife and daughter sympathies in this
sad hour. We mingle our tears of
sorrow with them and can only COM
mend them to an allwise Father who
careth for widow and orphan, and
would say to.our brothers at Herring
ton that we mourn with them in the
loss of SO faithful a brother, whose
character and example among his fel-
low Workmen reflected that Christian
example that we all should try to ex-
emplify.
And from our endless human chain
That links fraternal hearts,
Is severed one more golden link,
One brother more departs.
He's gone to meet fraternal friends
In that great lodge above,
To link his soul in that great chain
OF everlasting love.

BENEFITS OF STATE CANAL
Captain b. F. RockafeiIow Sets the
Legislative Committee Straight
on the Water Question.

The Denver Times gives publicity
to the following argument and pre-
sentation of facts regarding the State
canal, which was made to the joint
finance committee from the senate
and house of representatives. 1t is
characteristic of Capt. Rockafellow,
and demonstrates the deep thought
and careful study he has given the
subject during the years of agitation
that has been going on. Of course
the people of Canon City and Fremont
county are unanimous in the desire to
see the canal completed, knowing full
well the immense benefits that will
accrue to the State by its addition to
the great irrigation systems, but all
are not aware of the very earnest eff
fort being made by our Chamber of
Commerce to secure the passage of
bill now pending in the legislature.
Hence the RECORD gives the text of
Mr.. Rockafellow's statement.
1T is not so much the necessity of
its completion to give employment to
convicts." said Mr.. Rockafellow, "but
the benefits to the country that are
to be considered Senator Swink is
contending that irrigation would suf-
fer, but the water taken out of the
Arkansas river during the months of
May, June, July and August, emptied
into reservoirs through the canal as
feeder. will not appreciably lessen
the flow at that season of the year.
Underfow and seepage will replenish
the river later in the season when the
water supply is at low stage.
THE experimental measurements
of Prof. l.. G. Carpenter of the State
Agricultural College, along the Ar
kansas river in 1898, shows that
notwithstanding the water taken from
the river by ditchrs in Fremont coun-
ty, there was gain between Canon
City and the Bessemer ditch, near
Pueblo. of 54.40 cubic feet per second
in 1897 and 55.17 in 1898. He de-
monstrated that the seepage from the
irrigated canal is 30 per cent of the
inflow to bitches. The report of H.
A. Sumner, State engineer, for 1886
SO. showed that the average second
cubic feet discharge in the river at
Pueblo in 1895 was greater than at
Canon. the exact amount of excess
being given as 4431 cubic feet per
second for the four months named.
Let the convicts be made to serve
their sentences to hard labor on this
reservoir system, and let the people
of the lower valley bide their time.
The year will roll around before they
know it, when the underfiow and seep-
age waters will fill their lands just us
surely as the moisture in the noun
tains finds its way down, and that
their lower Arkansas valley, being the
basis of drainage toward the plains,
is 1000 to 1900 feet lower than the
reservoir system, will be well watered.
Il predict for the next generation
fruitful lands where there are now
barren plains, as result of the ex-
tensive systems of canals and reser-
voirs. In anticipation of that time
there ism better investment than in
the State lands, under all these canal
systems"
