1898. II is ~ follows:

Mr. Bezemer does not object 10 the
property assessment. lie admits hav-
ing notes 10 the amount Of AZ, ,425, but
says he did not give them in. He did az
many other good persons do--lied about
them or least did not "give them in I"
which amounts 10 the same.
This year his real estate IL assessed
1875, but his notes have not yet been
listed. The assessor will probably give
him no cause for complaint on that
score, but will list his notes for 1899.
The assessor will do that, "on informa-
ton" and Of course verified from the
record"
Jacob Bczemer is an old-fashioned
German, and will not swear that lac IL
not the owner Of the notes. Now while
all real estate Is taxed at onc-third or
one-fourth its values, the notes Il Is as
sumed are assessed at full value l. that

assessed at their full face valueY
TnE JoURSAL believes II everybody
notes were assessed as Mr.. Bezemer's
are the assessment roll at Salem would
be doubled and perhaps quadrupled and
we'd have taxes reduced about one-half.
And we do say that Is just AMI what
should be done under the present law.
The present law IL working a great
injustice on the man who il conscien-
tlous or who gets caught as Mr.. Bez.
emer Is caught. The nonresident money
lender escapes taxation on his notes.
The honest and unfortunate resident

construction purposes, of higher spe- cihe gray ity, greater density and superior resistance to erosion. The reservoir basin is also of greater capacity, with slightly lower dam. The site for the dam is one which is eminently suitable for the erection of a masonry structure of the highest type. No other class of dam has been consid- cred for this site, as 1t fulfills all re- quisites of stability in a more satis- factory manner than any other type that could be built, and can be made AS ENDURING AS TIMEl
 "The plan of dam and the form and dimensions best fitted to the peculiar conditions there existing have been given careful study by the engineers engaged upon it, and as presented in the drawing accompanying MT Lippin. cott's report, is believed to be we'll de- signed, and located in the most ad. yantageous position available"
 Mir. Schuyler then speaks of the spillways and capacity of water stor. age, and shows both to be ample. He also takes up the matter of cost, and shows that a new cement ter med "sand-cement," mixed with Portland cement in proportions of 1xl ''test. higher than the actual silica cement. , He then discusses the "outletss anc the "silt problem" all of which ars favorable and feasible.
 Following the above comes th e "seepage measurements" and these are exceedingly favorable. Mir. Cyrns c Babb has done good work on this line, and brought out some very satis factory results.
 MT. Schuyler then summarizes, anC taking up the different sites, comes a last to the San Carlos site and remark as follows:
 18th. That it is possible to con struct masonry dam at San Carlos B at cost of $ ,0SS, 926, including dam ages for right of way and diversion dam at the head of the Florence canal forming reservoir of 24l ,396 acre-fee capacity, and that the water supply il ample to fill such reservoir the year. of minimum flow, and that the volun, ofstorage will irrigate at least 1O6 ,0OO acres in addition to the irrigation O the lands of the Indians.
 "l4th. That it is feasible to con struct dam at San Carlos at least T feet higher than that contemplated ir the estimates, forming a reservoir whose ultimate capacity would b, approximately 359.000 acre feet, anC whose probable life of usefulness would be 65 years before being filed with silt.
 18th. That provision should b, made in the working plans for thes, ultimate extentions suggested, and tn, right of way reserved in the reservoi basin for the additional area that ma, ultimately be flooded.

How soon our idols become shattered. Hobson is forgotten, and even Dewey has had the bad taste to deed away the house the people presented to him. After all is said and done, the one great living American who looms above them all is William J. Bryan. Honest and level-headed, if he has made serious mistakes, they have not yet been discovered. He may never be President, but his name will go down to history as one of our greatest men, the peer of Webster or Clay, who also suffered defeat. It is unfortunate that the American people seem to prefer mediocrity.

THE editor of the TRIBUNE was chairman of the committee on resolu- tions of the last Democratic Territorial convention, assembled in Prescott Sep tember r, 1898, and was instrumental in having the following plank intro- duced, which was unanimously adopted by the convention:
 The Democratic party of Arizona hereby approves the recent war with Spain, and justly shares in the glory of its results. We favor the independence of Cuba and the re- tention by this government of the Spanish West India possessions and the control by this government of other Spanish territory occupied by American forces.
 At the time of the passage of this res olution the city of Manila was the only Spanish territory occupied by American forces other than the Spanish West Indian possessions. The Dem ocrats believed then and continue to believe that the United States should retain control of that city and harbor, as they were captured by force of arms and our title was undisputed; but the matter ofpaying twenty million dollars to Spain for the remainder of the Philippine group was like that story in the Bible of the devil offering to Christ the whole world if our Savior would fall down and worship him, when the fact was that the devil didn't own foot of ground. What the Dem ocratic party objects to is: First, the bad faith shown to the Filipinos, who were our acknowledged allies; second, the imperiaIistic policy of the govern ment; third, the destruction of the foundation of popular government-the consent of the governed; fourth, the introduction of military satrapy, and the large increase and expense of the standing army. The Democrats of Arizona stand exactly where they did 3 year ago, and are in perfect accord Yith the party throughout the country.

THE keeper of the harem of the Sultan of Sulu is a new office recently created by the Mckinley administrs- tion, and the present incumbent is re- ceiving $40 month out of the United States treasury. What glorious op- portunity for the Arizona affidavit man to get in his deadly work, and what a scramble there will be for the place among the truly loil." We look to see Dunbar nominate Randolph of the Republican for the position.

THAT stanch Republican journal, the Nogales Oasis, pays the following tribute to Federal officials. It will be noted that the only ones it sees fit to compliment are all non-residents:
 After the corrupt and unconscionable crowd in federal office with which we have had to deal in Nogales so long, how really refreshing it is to encounter United States officials who are honest and who are gentle men. such as Mir. J. D. Putnam. who was here this week. Mir. W. E. Pulliam. the new special agent. and Messrs. Converse J. Smith and I. T. Power, who conducted the recent investigation into the corrupt and rotten methods of the Nog ales custom house.

"16th. That the San Carlos dam should be built as the first step to be taken for the storage of water upon the Gila, and that all other available sites should be permanently with drawn from entry, with view to their utilization for storage purposes. "17th That the working plan of the San Carlos dam should be drawn to permit of the complete utilization of all power which may be developed from the reservoir, and steps be taken for realizing upon the full commercial value of the power (1'his refers to the power being used for electrical pur- poses or manufacturing interests.-I. T. W.)
 18th. That portion of the public domain which can be irrigated and re- claimed from the surplus storage of the Gila river reservation, over and above what is required for the Sscaton Indian reservation, should be with drawn from entry, segregated into an irrigation district, provided with . system of canals of distribution, and only offered for sale at a rate com 1 mensurate to their value as irrigable lands with water rights, proceeds to be placed in fund to be use d only for continuing the improvem ent, extension and care of reservoirs, and storage done on the Gila river"
 1 Mir. Lippincott's report, as he ip- formed me, coutemplates committee of citizens (owners of land and water rights) in the Gila valley, acting in conjunction and harmony with government officials. when the dam is completed, to control the use of the water in a manner satisfactory to both parties. If I understand the matter fully (although he did not say sol think the design is to have the Government purchase the interests of of the canal company at a fair valua- ton, so that the entire system shall be under Government control, for the purpose of dealing in perfect fairness with the Indians below and the settlers above the Sacaton reservation.
 I have abridged the report of MT. Schuyler as much as seemed possible, to give your readers fair statement of it. It seems to me that it was a wise thing for Mir. Newell to obtain the services of Mir. Schuyler, so as to make the report of Mir. Lippincott carry great weight with the committee of both houses of congress, to con- vince them of the necessity and possi- bility of securing ample appropriation on for erecting the above dam at the earliest day possible.
 propose now to start letters to all the avaible and influential men in and out of congress, to push the committee On Indian appropriations to ask for as large an appropriation from the incoming congress as possible.
 Very sincerely yours,

When Colonel Schuyler, the leading irrigation en- gineer Of the United States, so warm ly indorses the project, there is little left for critics to carp at.

SAN CARLOS DAM,

he has this to say: "The thorough
 exploration of the Gila river above the
 Buttes made by MT. C. c. Babb. Assist
 ant Hydrographer, in the spring of 1899, resulted in the discovery of dam
 and reservoir site below the junction
 of the San Carlos river with the Gila,
 which subsequent surveys have proven
 to surpass all other sites on the water
 shed of the river, not only for capacity
 of reservoir but for cheapness and
 feasibility of construction of the dam.
 The site had never before been ex-
 plored, suggested, or known to exist,
 and it's discovery is notable achieve
 ment accomplished by the present in- vestigation which appears to offer simple solution of the grave problem presented to the Geological Survey by
 the act of Congress which imposed that duty upon this department. The achievement justifies the responsibility assumed by the engineers in broaden ing the scope of the investigation, and going beyond the latitude of the in- structions conveyed by the act of Con- gress, which prescribed the examina- tion of and report upon the Butte dam and the Queen Creek project alone. The discovery of the Riverside site would have been sufficient justifca- tioD, as it is in every way preferable to the Buttes-better in the matter of material of construction, of reservoir, and less costly but the San Carlos is as far superior to the Riverside site as the latter is superior to the Buttes. Comparing the dam sites at Riverside and San Carlos, the latter is in general terms one-third to one-fourth the width of the former, requiring about one-half the volume of masonry, with about the same maximum depth to bedrock, as far as ascertained, and with a quality of rock for foundations, abutments and
