A HINT TO PARENTS
Something They Should Tell Their
 Children.

Members of the police force report
 the frequent finding of boulders of considerable size laying across the rails of the street car track. They are placed there usually by children who do not appreciate the possible resu,.. of such acts. Sometimes the officers catch the children while engaged in this amusing diversion, but they are usually too young to punish or even to heed She reprimands thus authori- tatiVely g.Vsn. It would be we'll for parents whose offspring make a play ground of Washington and First streets to studiously inculcate into their minds the great truth, that while train -wrecking in these parts is only an infant industry, the better element is striving to crush it out entirely rather than to lend 1t dignity and en- couragement among the rising genera tiOn. It would also be well for motor men and conductors to keep a sharp lookout along che line lest their cars be wrecked and their passengers killed for the amusement of nervous and ex- citabLa young America

MUNICIPAL MATTERS
The Things inc City Council is About
 To Do.

The aten;'on of the city authori- ties has been called to the holes i Il inc streets. made by imperfectly refiIled trenches in which water and gas pipes have been laid. In some cases the loose dirt has merely been thrown into them to leveE with the sur face. The first rain gives the trench the appearance of an elongated sunken grave, threat ening loss of limb, if not of life. to all who unwittingly drive across it. A notice has been issued to the gas and water companies md to all Oth- CTS holding Franchises carrying a priv ilege to dig in the streets, that the streets must be left in as good a con dition after as before the digging.
 The city has also concluded to so forward with bridging all he stre cts across 'he canal within the corporate limits. The bridges will eXtsnd the whole width of the streets.
 It has been resolved, too. that the Csage orange hedges which happen to have been planted outside Of prop erty lines must be set back which is aQ undertaking hardly less formidable than the moving of a house. The hedges were. of course. not pIanted in the streets Intentionally. They were set out at time when lines were i'll defined and owners of properjy in or der to be sure of getting all that b9 looged to them were sure to take a little more, thereby creating a heritage of inconvenience and expense.

SANTA TERESA SUSPECTED.
Believed She Is Responsible for the
 YaQui War.

Santa Teresa. the Mexican woman who has long been revered as q saint by tie natives of Chihuahua, Sonora. and this locality. and who is said to possess the art of healing the sick simply by the laying oD of hands is believed to be more or less responsible for the present outbreak among the Yaqui Indians.
 Officer George Harold of this city. formerly 2 Texas ranger. says that he is confident that Santa Teresa is re- sponsible for the outbreak.
 Harold was one of the American of eers who rounded up the ringleader4 of the raid on the Mexican custom house at PalOmes. Chichuahua. q few years ago. He says Santa Teresa in Sti@atsd that rebellion which was crushed in it's ipcipiency and thar every rebel captured on this side of the line had q picture of the woman saint on his person, and the back of each photograph was inscribed with one of her prayers.
 After the ,Palomas raid the Mexican government made an effort to ap prehend Santa Teresl as she was looked upon aas q dangerous lunatic and as possessing 100 much power over the minds of the lower classes, who arc easily persuaded to revolt. She escaped to Fl Paso, however. and remained in this vicinity q year or more While here she was visited by thousands of pilgrims from all parts of the republic, and. if reports be true, healed many.
 About Two years ago the woman dis appeared from this locality and it af- rewards turned out Ethat she had gone back to her native state, Sonora. and taken up her abode in one of the Indian villages, where she was abso- lHicly safe from nGolesJati0n by the sol .Iicrs.
 IT is now believed that she used her influence 10 incite the Indians 10 rel volt and r.sc against 7he Mexican rule. The woman is described as being frail and delicate looking and undoubtedly possesses magnetic pOwer.' the source of which is unknown.
 Harold and others are confident that ,ha woman's presence in the 1aqu' had q great deal 10 do with fhe now assuming alarming pro- PasO Herald.

WATER RATE COMPARISON
Beiween This Valley and Southern
 California.

Water must be water in southern
 California, when its inhabitants find cause for rejoicing in the conditions
 set forth in the following dispatch to
 the Los Angeles Times from Monrovia:
 ''Monroua, Aug 5.-At last the
 mains for the new water system from the Chapman ranch are completed
 and the water -.urned in. The people are jubilant that the days of drouth
 are over, and they now have a suff1- cient supply of water for all domestic and irrigation purposes. The perma- nent pumping plant should be installed
 n ten days, then the quantity Of water being pumped from the wells will be doubled
 up 70 the present time M0nrovia has been a fcee-water town, but at the last session Cls the board of trustees an ordinance was passed which inn poses a light water tax. The water system is owned by the city, but ., became necessary to levy a tax to cover the expense of operating the pumping plant This tax will only be collected in the summer season, for in the winter there will be sufficient water from the mountain system. The water rate will be 50 cents month for house, and 371A cents an hour for an irrigation head of twenty-five inches.
 For the first ,time in two years the streets of Monrovia are sprinkled."
 In the same issue of the Times there is this dispatch from Redlands, a seat of the orange growing industry:
 "Redlands. Aug. 5.-The Bryn Mawr Water company. recently incorporated, has purchased five wells from Ozrow Roberts, and will put in pumps, and pipe line a. once. The wells are on the Roberts ranch in San Timoteo canyon, about four miles east of this city. The water is for the Bryn Mawr and Mound City tracts, seven miles from the source of supply. MT. Rob- erts has been at work upon the wells for year or more. and has five eff them, each 150 feet deep The com pany has purchased a coE'.inu0us flow of sixty inches for S6,0O0, with the of taking more."
 The Salt River valley farmer pays an annual rental of $2.25 per inch in the Grand, Maricopa or Salt River Valley canals, which would be $56.25 for twenty-five inches This makes 1 but 15 cents per day or about two thirds of cent per hour. es against 1 S9 per day and 377a cen,ss per hour at Monrovia, Cal. Then, again, S6.OOO i for water right to sixty inches in the | bottom of 150-fO0t well would seem | to be pretty steep to an Arizonfan | who has become accustomed to the | ;heap rates prevailing here. A nigh, | or this amount of water in the canals l )f this valley would cost about S2,OOO, | md the water would be delivered on I Tour land instead of in the bottom of i 150-ifOOt well.
