Acitste the Question.
From the. Tucson star.l


 Arizona has lands enough to provide homes for. many thousands of farmers families. We have rain sufficient te irrigate these lands, if it could be saved by reservoir systems. This, howe yer, requires capital, and much of it. But there is 10 use to which the government could put few millions of dollars more proatably than in the qonstruc- tion of water catehmentss or. reser- voirs feE irrig igssson.ofits pn blic domain. It would result in creating homes for thousands, who would in turn produce millions of dollars in breadstuffs and athsc fruits ofthe sair. Arizona's par amount need is the reclamation of her arid lands. The soil is fat with rich ness 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 necessi- ty, 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 infu- ence. Let the press continue it's good work of calling attention to this water storage and irrigation question. Con- gress will be. made to see it, if the press of the country will keep it before the people.

quick in disposing of business at his desk,

SLAPPED YOUR UNCLE SAMUEL,
Fresident Kruger Resents Americas.
Friendship for England in an
UngraciOus Manner,

London, Nov. 22.-Callers at the,
United States embassy yesterday we're
informed that the United States was
no longer able to forward messages or
secur information regarding the Brit
ish prisoners, President Kruger having
refused the request to permit Consul
Macrum to transmit a list of British
prisoners. Though Mr.. Macrum ap-
parently still remains the nominal
agent of Great Britain, he is practical
ly deprived of all powers pertaining to-
the position.
A Boerish Snub to Uncle sam.
1t is understood that President Kru-
ger objected to Mr.. Macrum, on the
ground that the United States claims
to neutrality were prejudiced by her
evident friendship for Great Britain.
All communications to the British
prisoners now go through the ordinary
military channels, which render their
ultimate delivery doubtful and certain
ly slow. The British government, SD
far, has not taken any steps to amelio-
rate the present condition of the pris-
oners.
Would Treat Others the Same.
n government official informed a
representative of the press that he did
not see any good in trying to get any
other power to act in their behalf, as
President Kruger would, doubtless,
treat its representative in the same
name that he had treated the repre-
sentatives of the United States. More
over the official added, lit is not likely
that President Kruger will be there
long. If we did ask any other power
to act in behalf of Great Britain it
would possibly be Portugal"

Biographical Sketch.

Garrett a. Hobart was eminently sue
cessful both in business and politics. His
reputation as a man of affairs and as n
of the shrewdest busines men in the
country was perhaps greater than his
reputation as a political leader and states
man until his election to the vice-presi-
dency, three years ago.
Mr.. Hobart was born in lSii, at Long
Branch, n. J. His ancestors m mis-
fathers side Were English, and on his
mothers side Dutch. Thirty-three years
ago he was graduated from Rutgers col
lege, and began teaching school. Three
months later he entered upon the study
of law with Socrates Tuttle, q prominent
lawyer in PasSaic county, and who was
at that time mayor of Paterson. Young
Hobart is said to have arrived at Pater-
son with but a dollar and fifty cents in
his pocket, and from this small begin
ming he made his way, unaided, to wealth
and prominence. In 1863 he was admitted
10 the bar, and the same year ne married
the daughter of Mr.. futile. Mr. Hobart
made his way rapidly at the bar of his
native state and his bent led him early
into politics. In 1871 he WAS made city
counsel of Paterson, and in 1872 was elect
ed TO the state assembly, of which body
he was chosen speaker in the following
year. Even during these early years he
displayed that accurate knowledge of men
and exhibited that wonderful executive
ability which We're the key of his later
success both in business and politics. At
the end of his second year IN the as
sembly he retired to devote himself to
the law, and to the numerous business in
terests with which he had become identi-
fled. But the demands of his party would
not admit of his remaining long in pri-
vate life, and in 1876 he was elected to the
state senate, of which body he was chosen
president in 1881. During his service in
the senate he was chairman of the jul
dietary committee and was the author of
many measures of Importance which are
now on the statute books of the state of
New Jersey. His party became more and
more eXacting in its demands upon him.
He was recognized as a safe and guiding
hand, and from 1880 to 1891 he was at the
head of the state republican organiZa-
ton of New Jersey, and as such, planned
some of the most brilliant campaigns con-
Quoted by his party. From 1884 until 1896
he was a member of the National repub-
lican executive committee. and had much
to do with the anagem of the ma
ticnai campaigns during those II years.
During all these years his business con-
nections became broader and broader. His
keen insight into affairs made his advice
and counsel Of such value that he was
sought after by some of the larg-
est corporations in the country as
vice-president, he was a director in no
less than 60 different companies. Proba-
attained was his selection as one of the
three arbitrator of the Joint Traffic as
ISOLATION composed of 81 of the most
prominent trunk lines of the country.
Through his business connections and his
law practice he built up a large fortune.
After his nomination and election to the
