she owed him. The man protested he knew

last evening. Mr.. Marens is connected with

AN ARIZONA ENTERPRISE
Which Has LateIy Been Launched in
 inc East.

The sons Of Arizona who gn- hence are afterward heard~of et the most unexpected times and in the most un- expected places. There is an adve~- ttzeneltr now appearing in many c0un- try weekly papers in the east of The Black Canyon Hydraulic and Electric Power Company of which Thomas A. German is secretary. Mr. German will be pleasantly remembered as . former resident of Phoenix and at one time one of the prOprietOrs of the Rfata, which for awhile f1ourished like green bay tree in this vicinity, but finally withered away in dn unfruitful soil and fell without great clamOr before an unapcreciative public. MT. Cor mans last work or a semi-pu5lic char Ecter in this territory wa sto assist in the compilation of Q very readable his tory of Tucson and Pima county. He WIS preparing t3 help do the same thing to Phoenix and MaricOpa county when he became interested in some kind of @ broject in the Castle Creek country. Just what it was he never explained, but as all projects were mining projects Mir. German came to be looked upon as an incipient mine promoter He went east to get the scheme under way, intending to return to Phoenix shortly and resume the his tcry of M2ricopa county.
 What had become of him nobody here knew until the advertisement of the hydraulic and electric company appeared. It is stated in the advertise ment that the New York Trust com pany of New York is trustee fer $350,- GOO six per cent first mortgage bonds of the company.

house. cared for by Q devCtedl house keeper, MT. Holmes seemed to lead the life of 9 recluse, but, though he went
 little into general society, he led by no
 means the life Of q morose hermit. He
 always had a circle Of intimate friends at whose homes he was most welcome
 guest.
 As he saw more than one generation
 of his own contemporaries pass away,
 he made friends with younger persons, and college boys and girls just enter ing society, whose careers he watched from infancy
 Many persons wondered that a man so fond of domesticity never married and i'll health was generally given as the reason. But there was a tender, pathetic little story told that when Q young man he fell in love with a young girl who was q gCverness in his own family or in that Of some friend. When he wished to marry her his mother and brother opposed him vigorously. Their objection was that the girl, although of eminently good family, had no mon ey. John Holmes did not intend to give her up. But while the matter was under discussion the girl left Cam bridge and no one knew where she had gene Her lover tried vainly to find her address It is said that he never knew where she had been until he read of her death in a newspaper He then learned that she had been living in an out-Of-the-Way part of the country with relatives, for she had too much pride to marry a man whose family locked down on her.
 = John Holmes was said to be more like his father, Dr. Abiel Holmes. the historian of New England, while Oliver Wendell HClmos resembled his mother
 John Holmes belonged to the Har- yard class Of 1892, of which the last quinquenniaI catalogue showed but three survivors besides himself-z3r. w. W. Wellington, J. T. Morse and William Gushing. Among the more Ia nous members of this class were Noah Webster, Charles T. Brooks, the Ger man translator, and George Ticknor Curtis.
 His early friends prOphesied a great career for John Holmes, but. while he was deep student, especially of the he did not put the result of his I scholarship into print. He was also | a most witty c0nversAtionaIist, ranking in the opinion of many far above the ! ''AutCcrat." He resented any imputed . superiority or his brother to himself. ] His verse and short sketches have been ! handed down i'll manuscript, and it is i possible that a collection may lee made Of them.-BostOn Globe.

said, "A scheme has been Gn foot for
 about year to supefsede the smaller
 irrigation ditches at Albuquerque with
 a large canal. The small ditohes are
 owned by the natives and are made
 quate in size to meet the demand for
 water. By attempts to force a sufti-
 cient supply through them the banks have been 0yerfi0Wed continuously for number Of years, causing much in convenience to the adjoining farmers.
 ''The newly projected canal will be jointly owned by the ranchers of that section. A year ago subscriptions were made and the amounts subscribed were to be paid in installments as the occasion demanded. A very few Of the stockholders were outside capitalists.
 The natives fought the projects bit terly in the courts, but the company was at last granted a franchise to build and it commenced operations 1t sent surveyors to lay out the position of the canal, but from fear Of bodily harm by the Pueblo Indian ranchers they were forced to stop. After repeated ef- forts the company at last accomp- lished the first step of it's undertaking and now the plans have been drawn, contracts let and excavation will com mence immediately. The natives have sili AtlpiIS lCeLI GU IiIsLL bitEy NOtiNA iCs'| their water rights and be forced to contribute to the support of the large canal While their fears have not been without grounds, the establish ment of the proposed water supply with it's immense reservoirs will ulti- mately insure great benefit to that sec tiOn.
 Heretofore network of small ditches has existed in the territory ex- tending from the city forty miles up the Rio Grande river. The major water course is expected to have it's source in the upper end Of the pres ent network and will reclaim thou i sands of acres of desert and mesa lands out Of the range of the present system.

IT IS ALL BUT DONE
The Supreme Court Will
 Likely Adjourn Today.
Another CeSSiOn May Be Held in MarCh-An interesting Case h. VOIVing inc COnSfifutionaIifY of Three-FOurfhS Verdict.

The territorial supreme court re- stunned work yesterday morning after a vacation of one week. Its work is so nearly finished that an adjournment will probably be taken today until some time in March, though the mem- berS may sit in chambers next week in the preparation of opinions. Four cases were before the court yesterday In the matter of John Betis, appellant vs. the territory, respondent, from Co., chise county, the judgment of the lower court was affirmed. Betis was con victed at Tombstone last December of mayhem in having kicked out an eye of a man with whom he was fighting at Bisbee.
 In the case of Yavapai county vs. the territorial loan commission, the appel lant was given twenty days to file briefs and the appellees twenty days in which to make reply.
 The matter of Dickson, appellant, vs. the territory, respondent, from Yava- pal county, was argued and submitted. The Appellant was found guilty in Yavapai county of stealing calf An appeal was taken on the ground of an insufficiency of proof of criminal in- tent. The appellant had had pos session of the calf, but turned it out of his corral, which the defense be lieved should weigh in his favor. The prosecution contended that he released the calf only because the COW followed it to the corral and threatened to call attention to the crime by her furious bawling

ton to the people diTatclJ interested and their legislatures. Such acton would relieve congress, the interior de partment and the general land office of much annoying responsibility; 1t would strengthen financially the states and territories receiving the lands, without material expense to the gen eral government, and the development and disposition of the Iands\ would, nc doubt, be wisely and economically regulated under state control
 The state or territory owning these lands could make suitable provision for the construction of reservoirs, ca nals, etc, by dispOsing of Q. portion Of the lands for such purposes, if found necessary. It is argued by some that if the lands are ceded as suggested. the general government will be absOlved of all obligation to id in their recla- nation by appr0priati0n. The govern . rlent does not recognize any such Ob- legation now, and there would be as much. and more reason for congress to aid reclamation after the land has be- come the property of the state, as there is in Ae appropriation of large sums of money for improving rivers and harbOrs all over the country. l believe if concerted action is now had by the legislatures of the so-called arid states and territories ill memorializinS asking the cessiOn Of the lands. that the proper legislation can be secured, and I earnestly request you memorial by your legislature.

At intervals the performers were greeted with pro fusion Of carrots, onions and other vegetables, which were construed as high marks of appreciation. After 8 few take-downs the inteII0cHtCr was easily disrObed of his high mantle Cf authority and frequently eGsnarsd by the funny and catching jokes of the lady endmen. The ''bOEquet of black birds and the stump speaker" d. rected an incessant canno1s de Of harmless criticisms at the leg. slators and prominent citizens of the city
 The unfortunate victims had no means of retaliation and of nsc ssit5 allowed the jOkers to perpetra e ther observation with all the gO2d humOr they could muster. Of cCuIs SC the cues ton of woman suffrage was taken uD by the orators and the legislature in that respect was warned to change it's ways.
