Irrigation Congress.
From the Phoenix Enterprise.l


 Do the farmers and rancblnen of Arizona want it to appear, at the next session of the irrigation congress which meets at Missoula, Montana, on the 25th inst, that they are in favor of the policy of the government ceding the arid lands to the territory? If they do, they have only to remain passive and so far as Arizona is concerned a packed delegation will represent the territory and represent it in the in- terest of those who favor cession. The governor favors that policy and the delegates he appoints will of course favor such g. policy. The representa- tives to that congress from Arizona, may be as follows:
 The governor may appoint 7 dele- gates, the mayor of each city, 2; each agricultural society, 2, each irrigation company, 2; each board of trade, 2; each soeietr of engineers, ?.
 If those opposed to eession of the arid lands want their views and. in terests represented at that congress they should bestir themself. Pho enix, Tncson and Prescott are the only cities in the territory entitled to representation, and those cities should see that delegates, who will attend arc appointed. phoenix has already done So.
 Irrigation companies, already sor- med, will find that it is to their inz terosts to have the government take hold ot the project. Every interest in fact wiu be benefited by national irrigation scheme, and the country, generally, will flourish to an extent never dreamed Of by it's most sanguine friends. If the government once takes hold of the proposition of irrigation, it will purchase every private enterprise of value and utility in the arid belt at i its true worth. This is the way it did with the Fox and Wisconsin Rivers improvement, and with the Sturgeon Bay and Lake Michigan, and the Sault St. Marie canals, upon which is has spent millions.
 National irrigation would not only be the salvation of the private and cor porate irrigation companies, but it  would be the redemption aud salvation 1 of the entire arid west.

War ronthe Border Between Cowboys and
 Mexican Guards.
lFrom the Phoenix flepublican.l


 BIssEE, ARIz., Sept. ll.-Saturday afternon . shooting scrape occurred at Naco, nine miles from here, he re- suits from which may bring on serious international trouble, James Heron, q cattleman, resident of La Morita, Sonora, was arrested for smuggling horses, by Mexican guards aud was being taken to Nogales trial. While at Naco a cowboy named Bob Clayton asked permission to go with Heron to Nogales. The guards assented, but told Clayton he would have to disarm himself.
 h the mean time Clayton took sev- eral drinks and when the guards asked him to give up his gun he refused, and pulling it began shooting. The guards, seven in nnmber, returned the fire, and two other cowboys, one named Franco and the other name nn- known, came to cayton's rescue. Clagton received . ballet from Win chester through his stomach, from the effects of which he died here last night.
 Captain Molina C. the guards was wounded twice, one bullet passing through his right thigh aad another through the arIn Franco was arrest ed by the guards and is now in jail at Naco, while the others cowboy escaped and is now on American soil. An hour and a half later three guards who had starled to .Nogales with Heron were -overtaken near the San Pedro custom house by four American cow boys, who opened fire, killing one guard and wounding another, the third escaping. The cowboys then re- turned to this side of the line, being pursued by the other guards. Heron refused to return with the cowboys and continued to Nogales, giving him. self up.
 Heron decided to face the charge of smuggling rather than risk being taken by officers here who hold war rant for him, he having escaped from the Oklahoma penitentiary after being sentenced for twenty-five years for murder. Lee Ramsey who conducts saloon on the Mexican side, was ar rested by the authorities charged with being implicated in the affair, and is now in jail at Naco with Franco. An armed force of nearly hundred men are guarding the town and jail in which the Americans are confined.

Sill More counterfeltina.

The Secret Service has unearthed an- other band of counterfeiters and secured & large quantity of bogus bills, which are so cleverly executed that the average person would never sus- pect them of being spurious. Things Of great value are always selected by counterfeiters for imitation, notably the celebrated Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which has many imitators but no equals for indigestion dyspepsia, constipation, nervousness and general debility. The Bisters sets things right in tue stomach, and when the stomach is in good order it makes good blood and plenty of it. In this manner the Bitters get at the seat of strength and vitality, and restore vigor to the weak and facilitated. Beware of connter- feits when buying.

The industries of town are the spok es in iis.wheel of progress. Every time you. take dollar from your home merchant and spend it with outsiders you are doing just so much to weaken one of those spokes. A good many knocks Of that sort. will break the SD oke and with several spokes missing the wheel will break down. If your merchant keeps honest goods at fair prices patronize him. Don't think that the goods in the home stores are not as stylish nor as fresh nor desir- able as those you can buy at other cities. If the home merchant keeps shop-worn goods maybe it is your fault because you let his goods lie idle on the shelves. If he does not handle the better quality of goods perhaps it is because. you buy. from outsiders. Patronize your home merchant. He is one of the up- building influences of your town and in just what measure he prospers the town will prosper and property increase in value.-TEx.

No rural sections of the country are so prosperous as those which posses s successful irrigation, yet there are TO- 100000 acres of land in the West now arid and worthless, but capa ble, un- der complete irrigation, of raising eer- tain and enormous crops.
 Land monopoly is hardly question to frighten the West as yet. There is no dearth of land. With between sev- enty-fve and hundred million acres of public land waiting to be reclaimed, irrigated and cultivated, the West need not yet worry about what land has passed into private hands. Let il turn it's attention to that remaining and unite to secure it's reclamation by the National Government.

AN IMPORTANT FOOD LAW.
Heavy Penalties for Selling Articles of Food Containing Unhealthy h.
 gredlents.

The following law was passed at the last session of the Missouri Legisla- ture, taking effect August 20, 1899;
 SECTION 1. That it shall be unlaw- ful for any person or corporation doing business in this State to manufacture, sell or offer to sell any article, com pound or preparation for the purpose of being used or which is intended to be used in the preparation of food, in which article, compound or prepara- tion there is any arsenic, calomel, bismuth, ammonia or alum.
 SECTION ?. Any person or corpora tion violating the provisions of this act shall be deemed guilty of mis- demeanor, and shall, upon conviction, be fined not less than one hundred dol lars, which shall be paid into and be- come part of the road fund of the county in which such fine is collected.
 The operation of this law will be mainly against alum baking powders. But the manufacture cir sale of any article of food or article intended to be used in food which contains any of the elassed by the law IS uu- healthful--from arsenic to alun--is.

THE WEST HOODWINKED.
Does Not Get it's Share cf Congressional
 Appropnatlons.


 Throughout the entire West the plan of constructing reservoirs to be dnder national con trol in which to store flood water for irrigation, is universal " approved, says the Los Angeles Times. No more necessitous nor ben eheial work can employ the attention of the California delegation in Con- gress than a comprehensive plan of irrigation for the State, and for that matter, the entire western area. The annual appropriations by Congress for the improvement of rivers, and har- bors in the East and the Pacific Coast are not more strictly within the scope and province of Congress nor more far-reaching and certain in their bene- ticial results than would be appropria- tions for national storage reservoirs for the impounding of torrential and flood waters in the Sierra Nevada and Rocky Mountains.
 Many of the most conscientious and far-sighted men in the West are now advocating a government system of leasing the public arid lands at B uom-- inal rental for pssturage and tarn purposes, and employing the revenues for State irrigation works and other improvements.

From the Effete East.
From the phoeniz Republican,

There was funny incident in Coffee Al's restaurant yesterday. A fastid- ous gentlemen who came here from the east reeently has been eating regus larly at the restaurant. He is aceuss toned to diet of milk and pie, ana Che walters find 1t difficult to pleass. him. One waiter was 50 paiast@kng yesterday that he placed finger bowl before the man. When he finished his milk and pie, he was undecided what to do. The finger bowl was evidently there for purpose, but he probably had never seen one before. He finally placed the bowl to his lips and drank the water. He concluded by eating the piece of lemon which had foa ted in the vessel. He had eaten the rest of the meal without & grumble, but in trying to please the man the waiter incurred his displeasure. "I've drank circus lemonade" i" was the mans char istic reply to the waiter who had asked how he had enjoyed his repast, "but I never tasted lemonade to equal the incipient stuff in that bowl"

Inoersolss Last Work.

 The poem so frequently referred to in accounts of the Ingersoll obsequies, and said to have been the Colonel's last literary work, is entitled 'Declara- tion of the Free" and it's opening verses, which fairly epitomize the spirit of the poem, are as follows: We have no falsehoods to defend,
 We want the facts.
 Our force, our thoughts, we do not spend h vain attacks.
 And we will never mearly try Tosape some fair and pleasing lie. The simple truth Is what we ask
 Not the ideal.
 We've set ourselves the noble task
 To find the real
 Ifall there Is is nanght but drosa We want to kuow and Dsar our loss. Is there beyond the silent night
 An endless day?
 Is death door that leads to light2
 We cannot say.
 The tongueless secret locked in fate We do not know. We hope and wait,
