SCHOOL ATTENDANCE LAW.

To the Editor of The Republican,
 Sir: 1 have been requested by a num-
 Der Of citizens to explain the amend
 nent to the school laws as passed by the Twentieth legislature defining the
 method by which children of one dis
 trict can attend the school of another
 district. The law provides that ''the school board of trustees of any school district may, with the concurrence of the school board of trustees of any
 other district CT districts, admit pu- pills from either Of saiG districts to
 school within its own district. Pro- vided, however, that said pupils shall
 be enumerated in the district where they attend, and in case the trustees fail to agree the parents of such chill dren may appeal to the county school superintendent, whose decision shall be final
 : By this law it is required if a child desires to attend school in a district outside Of his residence he must ask and get the consent of the trustees of his own district, to attend the other and if allowed, get permission of the trustees of the district where he de- sires to attend. If for any reason the trustees of his district refuse consent and he feels aggrieved, appeal can be made to the county superintendent Of schools, whose decision is final.
 The plain object of the law is to pro- tect the smaller districts and enable them to teach the children belonging tC them, and draw the school money to which they are clearly entitled un- der the law. This will enable them to draw sufficient money to pay better salaries to their teachers and thus get better teachers and give satisfaction to all of the patrons of the schools. The small districts not only ought to have this money, but need it, and their schools cannot be kept up to the proper if this depletion is allowed and continued. Again, the larger schools are overcrowded. They will be compelled either to enlarge their school rooms or OVercrowd them, and either compel a teacher to teach more

MEXICAN INDEPENDENCE
Patriotic MtxiCan-AmerICanS CeIe-
 Drafe fheir Liberty Day.

The 16th of September of each re- turning year is to every patriotic Mex ican day sacred to the memory Of their national heroes who fell in scenes of bloody warfare, that the spirit of liberty born on the American continent in 1776 might spread it's pro- tecting influence over E.1w peoples un- der southern sun. It marks the ad- vent of that struggle which after years of turmoil and the shedding of rivers of patriot blood, resulted in the polit- ical separation Of the Mexican people from the tyranny and oppression rf Spain and marked the birth of an other great republic in the occident Though the morning of the 18th was the first sunrise that greeted the I.cW born land of liberty, the real an nouncement of events which led to it's consummatiCn was on the night of the 18th and for that reason the celebra- tion of the day is always accompanied by preliminary demonstration on the night of the 18th.

EXPERIMENTAL WORK

Professor G. H. True, who has been
 added to the experimental corps of the territorial university, arrived in the
 city yesterday morning from Tucscn
 and will at once take up his residence
 5t the experimental farm on Grand avenue. Professor True has been con-
 nected with the experimental station
 of the state agricultural college of
 Michigan and is well qualified to su-
 perintend the work for which he has
 Eeen chosen in Arizona, which is that
 of conducting a series of experiments
 in animal husbandry for the purpose
 of ascertaining the best methods of feeding stock in this region and the
 best foods to be employed by stock raisers More clearly stated, perhaps, the object is to ascertain which, of all products that can be successfully grown here are the most profitable to be used for feeding. Alfalfa, Of course, will form the basis of the ex- periments, and experience will show what supplementary feeds are naces- sary and in wi at proportion they should be used. Professor True will work in conjunction with Professor McClatchie, who has charge of the ex- perimental farm.
 At the present time a good variety of feeds are grown in small quantities, and others will be raised as thought best. Experimenting will begin by the feeding of cattle and will probably be extended to hogs and other live stock A few cattle are already kept at the farm and it is possible that as the 1croy h0 made with local stock growers for ex- periments on a larger scale.

HOW AMERICA HAS EXPANDED
By Dana c. Munro, A. M, and Will
 liam Fairley, Ph. D.

This is not mere recitation of bare facts regarding the growth of this country, but it is a fascinating story of the way in which this government has acquired territory from time to time-it is charming picture of the peculiar conditions and circumstances attendant upon the different pro- cesses of expansion. For details and extended discussions, the readers are referred to histories This series aims to give the meat of the question in a nut shell.
 | This course begins with an account of the means by which Anglo-SaXon domination was secured in North America. The most important cpl sode was the French and Indian war.
 Then the conditions in 17S3 are discussed: The nuclei of the future | United States, the occupation of the people, the limited needs and expend- ftures of the farmers, the difficulties of travel, the outposts beyond the mountains, the remOteness of the Mississippi, the apparent improba- bility of expansion
 The Louisiana purchase is pre- faced by the previous history and an account of the inhab- itants of the territory. The ig- nl3rance of it's size and value, the mo- tives of Jefferson and Napoleon, the growing importance of the Missis- sippf and the actual purchase are discussed in turn.
 Florida is treated ir a similar man. ner, with an account of the Seminole war
 The sixth article deals with the
  nexed Canada. The possibilities of doing this in the revolution and the war of 1872 lead to a discussion of the salient points in the two wars
 The next two articles are devoted to the Mexican war and the territory ac- quired thereby. Under California the discovery of gold is taken up, the wild rush across the continent and the per manant occupation of the Pacific coast.
 Next comes the Oregon question: Astor's colony, the settlement of the country, the conflicting claims Of England and the United States, the cry of ''Fifty-four Forty or Fight" the compromise by which it was se- cured.
 Not only the acquisition of Alaska, but also its recent history are treat ed: The attempts to find uses for it, the reindeer and other experiments, the rush to the Klcndyke and the difficulties with Canada.
 The last two articles are given up to Hawai-, and the Spanish war, with its unexpected results in placing, net merely Cuba, but also Porto Rico and the distant Philippines under our charge. The series closes with

YAVAPAI MUST PAY
Judgment In inc p. & A. C. Bond
 interest Case.

Thomas D. Bennett, assistant United States attorney, returned on Thursday night from Prescott, where ho took judgment in the case of the territory against the board Of supervisors of Yavapai county in the P. & A. c. bond case. This was an application for a writ of mandamus directing the super visCEs to make a levy to meet tL;o payment of interest on the so-called Yayapai bonds which had been funded by the loan commission. The super visofs had refused to make such a levy Cn the same grounds that the county had occupied in opposing the funding of the bonds.
 The case was tried before Judge Sloan at Prescott a month ago and was taken under advisement. Judgment was rendered on Thursday, in which the alternative writ was made final and the supervisors were directed to convene and ley a tax of 32 cents on each $10O of the taxable property of the county to meet the interest on the bonds for 1898, and to make levy of 37 cents, including cents previously levied for the payment Of the interest TOT 1899. There are 258 of these bonds funded, the payment of interest on which is provided for in the crder. Judge Sloan holds that the debt is valid in every respect from it's origin and that the funding of it by the loan commission was as regular as the funding of any other county indebted ness.

1 he left to join the construction com
 pany with which he had been working. Just before starting a saloon keeper gave him a sealed letter addressed to a beer and ice concern in Kingman and requested him to deliver it. Burns
 says he was not made acquainted with
 the contents of the letter, but sup
 posed that it was an order for goods. He forget to leave the letter, but after
 passing kingman he remembered it
 and gave it to a Pullman porter to
 mail. It transpired that the letter
 contained $19.50 and did not find it's
 way to the addressee. Burns arrived
 in Phoenix a few days ago on his way southeast. Before he had time to take
 the next outbound train a telegram
 was received directing his arrest on charge of embezzlement He was net
 locked up, but remained with his wife in the court house plaza in the day time under the surveillance of the sheriff's office. His statement of the case was so straightforward that it was believed, and, beside, Burns does not lock like a man who would mis- appropriate a small sum of money which came into his hands the way that did. The most suspicious cir cumstance against him is that on his arrival at the Commercial last Tues day night he registered as J. H. Clark and wife. Deputy Sheriff Henry Lovin of Mohave county arrived in town Thursday night after him. A telegram was sent to Kingman yesterday in quiring if the letter had yet reached the beer and ice man. It had not and Burns accompanied the deputy sheriff north

COMING RAILROADS
Time for Declaration of In-
 fenfiOnS Ended.
A Narrow Gauge System Gridironin0 inc Territory With an Outlet Through inc Cult of California. s. p. R. R. in Salt River Valley.

The act of the last legislature for
 the encouragement of railroad con-
 smuction in Arizona by exemption
 from taxation of all roads constructed
 under it expired yesterday. Within
 the last week and up to the last day
 more declarations of intention were
 filed than within the preceding six
 months. The most important decla- ticn was one by Dr. J. M. Ford, rep
 resenting local and eastern capitalists. describing a proposed enterprise with ramifcations through nearly every im- portant copper district in the terri tory It is a twenty-six inch gauge railroad system of about 800 miles, consisting of three lines, one from Phoenix to the copper regions of the Grand canyon by the way of Jerome, another fromNPhoenix to Globe, Cliff ton and Morenci, and the third from Phoenix in a southwesterly direction to Gila Bend, the Ajo mining district and Quitoquavita, on the Mexican line That is all of the system de- scribed in the declaration of intention, but the most important feature of the project is the extension of the road fifty-three miles father to harbor on the Gulf Of California.
 It may be said that all the prelim- mary details of this narrow gauge system-have been arranged and it is said that the money for constructing it is already available or within easy reach. The company has been organ ized, but for certain reasons the per sonnel of its members has not yet been given to the public. It will be essentially a mining railroad system and a consequence of the extraordinary activity in copper mining during the last three years. The promoters say that they have been handicapped by the Pacific coast pool, from which there is no possible escape overland, hence they will seek it by water. The products of the mines can be shipped to the markets and coke, lumber and other materials can be delivered at the mines at rates ridicul0usly low in comparison with those now paid. The promoters have been at work on the system for many months and, as has been stated, the details of it have been agreed upon. A narrow gauge was decided upon on account of both econ Omy in building and the fa- cility for winding through moun- tains, in which it would be practically impossible to build a standard gauge road. It is not a part of the plan to interchange with stand ard gauge roads, though it is possible that some time a connection will be made with the Rio Grande Western, though that is no part of the present project. It is pointed out, by the way that the development of Colorado had its beginning in the narrow gauge railways, which ran through the min

 trustees to hire more teachers to i teach the same grade. Any fair mind ed person must see that to allow the children to go where they please to school Is to do great injustice to the smaller districts and work no good to the patrons of bona fide residents of the larger districts. Today I am in- formed that number of persons are violating the plain intent of this law, thinking that it can be done with inn punity. Some are saying that as the law has no penalty attached it cannot be enforced. They should remember that this is a civil law and not crim- inal, and penalty is not required to make it binding.
 The way for law-abiding people to do where doubt exists as to the legal ity of a statute is, in a friendly spirit. to get the interpretation by the courts. This can be easily obtained It is plainly the duty of the superin- tendent of the schools to interpret this law, and instruct trustees or teach CTS whom to admit under the law. If any one of either party is aggrieved with his or their decision, a suit can be brought before the proper court to compel obedience to the provision of the law. Or if trustees of any district admit children to their schools from other districts without the consent of the trustees of the district where. the children reside, then an injunction can be asked from the courts to re- strain them. If the law is decided to be invalid, that will settle it. if valid, then any party so distrained violating tie order of the court can be pun ished for contempt

of this law and to meet the demand of the representatives of a large number of these smaller districts who complained that their districts were suffering great injury. This law is substantially a copy of the Colorado laws and of other states, and has -stocd the tests of the courts. For the good of the children interested, this matter should be settled at once.s If we want to train up law-abiding citizens we can't afford to let the youths think they can defy the law. No wise par ent or guardian of the children will allow it. Let the court decide and then let all abide by the decision.
