The Doctor Takes Dienified View of the
 Situation.
 In the matter of the recent charges made against Dr, McNaughton by the alumni Of the San Jose normal school committee appointed by the society summoned the doctor to appear and answer the charges. In answer to the summons Dr. McNaughton penned the following reply, which has been made public:
 "Gentlemen: In reply to your com munication, dated June 18th, beg to say that l am now keeping regular office hours at the normal school building, where I will De pleased to confer with any persons interested in matters pertaining to the welfare of this state normal school.
 Whereas, It is currently reported that your committee has permitted rumors in your possession derogatory to me to be given publicity without giving me an opportunity first to be heard in my defense; and, whereas, any conclusions your committee may arrive at in this matter could in no sense be final; therefore, in pursuance of my ideas of self-respect and of the dignity of the position now hold, l must respectfully decline to appear be- fore your committee.

IS IT RIeHT
For an Editor to Recommend Patent
 Medicines?

From Sylvan Valley News Brevard, N. C.l
 It may be question whether the editor of a newspaper has the right to publicly recommend any of the vari- ous proprietary medicines which flood the market, yet as a preventive of suffering we feel it duty to say a good word for Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. We have known and used this medicine in our family for twenty years and have always found it reliable. In many cases dose of this remedy would save hours of suffering while a physician is awaited. We do not believe in depend- ing implicitly on any medicine for a cure, but we do believe that if bottle of Chmberlain's Diarrhoea Remedy were kept on hand and administered at the inception of an attack much suffering might be avoided and in very many cases the presence of physician would not be required. At least this has been cur experience during the past twenty years. For sale by Brock ways Pharmacy.

Federal Storage Reservoirs.
From the Los Angeles Express.

Federal aid for the construction of reservoirs where the storm water in the mountains of this section might he saved and utilized is to be one of the things which Congressman R. ]. Waters will attempt to bring about as soon as congress meets. Mir. Waters has given the subject much attention. and fully realizes it's importance. He is being constantly importuned by large land owners and others in this end of the state to work for government as- sistance in the matter.
 Mir. Waters friends desire to have him placed upon either the arid lands or river and harbor committee, or both. in the next congress. Congressman Barham, of the Santa Rosa district. is said to be also an applicant for the place on the arid lands committee. and may be considered, on account of his longer service at Washington, to have prior claims to the place.
 The California delegation in congress will meet at San Francisco some time after June z, Ut which time committed assignments and other similar matters will be agreed upon. Mir. Waters said to-day that with reservoirs for the collection and care of storm waters Southern California need never fear ( drouth.

Reclamation of AIkaIi Lands.

Prof. R. H. Forbes, director of the agricultural experiment. station, has returned to Tucson from a trip to Roswell, N. M., where he las been watching the legations being carried on by Prof. Milton Whitney, chief of the division of soils of the de- partment of agriculture.
 In that region, as in many other parts of the west including portions of Arizona, after few years of cultiva- tion alkali appears near the surface of the ground and gradually increases in amount until cultivation can no long CT be carried on, says the Star. This condition often results from misdirect- ed irrigation. Prof. Whitney isinvesti- gating the best means of managing and removing the alkali from the soil. In New Mexico the contour of the ground and the quality of the irriga- tion water will apparently make the problem an easy one to solve by suit able irrigation and drainage.
 The results of these investigations when published, although carried on locally, have general application and may be of general interest to Ari- zonians.

Rough Riders Want to Go to the Philip
 pines.
From the Albuquerque Citizen.l

lFrom the Albuquerque Citlzen.l
 Roosevelt's rough riders will reenlist for service in the Philippine islands. Every member of the regiment who attended the recent reunion in Las Vegas has signed an agreement to go if the opportunity presents itself.
 Col. Roosevelt has received assur- ances from President Mckinley that an entire brigade, organized along the line of the rough rider regiment, will be accepted to do duty in the Philip pines. Lieutenant-Colonel Brodie will command the "old guard" and it is rumored that Governor Otero will be the colonel of a regiment to be raised either exclusively in New Mexico or in this territory and Arizona jointly. Roosevelt will go as brigadier-gen- eral. Heis now on his way to Washing ton and it is expected that he will ar rive there tonight, when confere nee will be held between him and the presi- dent and his cabinet in reference to the matter and all the details arranged.
 Colonel Roosevelt stated that the in- tention is to repeat the rapidity with which his regiment was ushered into service in the Cuban campaign and he is confident that he will have his en- tire brigade recruited and ready to sail for the Philippines by the latter part of next month
 So Funston's Swift Swimmers will soon be joined by Roosevelt's Rough Riders, end Aguinaldo and his benign t. ed followers will have ample reason to believe that "hell's popping in the Philippines.

A WASHINGTON dispatch announces the appointment of William H. Hoey, of Muncie, Indiana, as collector of customs at the port of Nogales, vice II. K. Chenoweth, removed. This is the continuation of long and bitter fight between factions of the Republican party in Arizona. Charges of many varieties, including partiality in ex- aminations and the carrying of names on the pay roll of those who did no work were filed. While none of these were clearly proven, it was thought best by the President, upon recom- mendation of the Civil Service com mission, to make change to stop the row and for the benefit of the public service. Allen T. Bird, editor of the Oasis, was the conspicuous figure in the fight against Mir. Chenoweth, and through his efforts the removal was largely brought about. Mir. Chenoweth
 was the first mau appointed by Me-
 Kinley in Arizona. He is relative of Mrs. Mckinley, who was Chenoweth.

Don't cede the Lands.

From the Prescott Pick and DrilLl
 Knowing somewhat about legisla- lures, and more particularly of the Arizona variety, we are most emphat- ically opposed to the scheme of ceding the arid lands, or any other lands, to the territory to be disposed of by exec utive or legislative acts. Were a mil lion acres, or even a hundred million acres, ceded to Arizona by an act of Congress, the territory's rights and interests therein would last no longer than would snowball in Hades; and, i, furthermore, the territory's exchequer, after the last acre had been sold (?), would be represented by "0." No, Congress needn't enact any more Cary laws. Legislatures are already sufi- ciently corrupt without further temp tatious being placed within their reach. There is but one solution to this "arid land" question-govern- ment irrigation and ownership. Gov ernor MeCord, in a communication to the Los Angeles Times, takes the right view of the matter, and for the benefit of our readers who have not seen the article in the Times, we re- print the Governors interesting letter.

SENATOR WARREN, of Wyoming, who led the fight in favor of Federal aid for irrigation in the arid West, was ac- corded grand reception by his con- stituents on his return to Cheyenne. In summing up the situation, he said "If the fight is prosecuted in the future as it has been in this congress the west will receive it's recognition. Our sec tion lacks representation in the house, and iti difficult to create any direct interest in irrigation matters, but l can see daylight ahead in the senate. frbe house has, however, learned its iesson this session, that the senate is going to fight for this appropriation ;n the future. If the friends of irriga- t;on in the west will continue their efforts with vigor and persistence, l believe that it will become as popular to advocate the development of Arid America as 1t was to enter inter into war for Cuban freedom, to expand in- to West Indian possessions. or even to extend our guidance to lands on the other side of the globe, jumping mean time clear across an empire within our own borders which is capable, under development, of supporting the entire nonulaticn of the United States, 7

WOULD CAUSE A CRISIS.

"Upon what a slender thread
hang everlasting things" How
closely are the interests of all
civilized nations interviewer. The
great mass Of our people no doubt
view with stolid Indifference the
prospect Of wal in South Africa.
And yet if wal results from the
present controversy between Eng
land and the Transvaal, it will
demoralize business in all the
markets of the world. It is easy
to foresee this, when we realize
that the output Of the Transvaal
gold mines was last year $80,OOO,-
900, with everyprospect that it will
reach $500. 100000 this year. The
Beers threaten that in case Of wal
they will dynamite these mines,
which are entirely owned by
foreigners. Just think of it, the
product Of these mines is about
one-half Of the worlds output of
gold. Cut off half the worlds
supply of gold, and there will be
such a shaking up in prices in all
the markets of the world that will
make us think we have been struck
by a financial cyclone. For think
as we may, and say what we will
Of the effect Of trusts, combina-
tions and artificial factors of all
kinds, there is not the least doubt
that to a very large extent, the rise
in prices for the last two years is
to a great extent due to the in
creased production Of gold. The
gold output has done for this
country and the world in this gen.
GRAFTON what was done by the dis.
covery Of gold in California in the
later '4O's and in Australia in the
early SOS. There has been q
boom in prices. If the Transvaa]
: mines r shut down for one yea,
and half the worlds production oil
gold cut off, a terrible reaction is
sure to follow. Careful, shrewd
and observant business men all
over the world will watch the
smoke Of Dom Paul in South
Africa. It would be we'll perhaps
for Mr. Joseph Chamberlain tc
stop and do a little thinking before
he pushes things too far.
