= III EMORIAI DAY

The meaning of Memorial Day has not
changed, though many Americans have IarpeIv
changed their own mental attitude toward that
patriotic observance. 1t is perhaps too common
an impression that the old meaning of the dav
itself has vanished; that the country no longer
holds In most reyerent and loving memory those
whose deeds suppressed a great rebellion end
prevented disuniOn, but has come to regard az
the one lofty quality worthy of heroic honor
that devotion which offers even life itself for
a cause honestly believed TO be right That
is not quite the spirit with which the President
hlihSeI uncoyerS his head in respect toward
those who were defeated thirty-six wears ago
Gfahder thought remains, that the people
have reached through strife and crime and suf-
lerlnS deeper unity and more genuine devo-
ton than would have been possible without at
tempted disunlon and defeat. Thus those who
were beaten can in truth enjoy the result as
heartily as those who were vlctors When the
whole Nation. North and South alike, advances
10 higher and better conception of the mean
ing ana the virtue OF free government then in
deed Memorial Day may become in no sense a
sectional but National thanksgiving
with sincerity and devotion both Federal and
Confederate may be glad that the Union nre
vailed, that government of the people, for the
people and by the people did not prove in
capable Of sustaining its authority; that suhmIs-
sion to the duly declared will of the majority
was established as higher and more inspiring
loyalty than submission to any crowned or con-
secrated authority. But the true conception Is
that which places higher than any obligation to

Irritation Statistics.

The Director of the Census desires to impress upon all engaged in agricnl- tural pursuits in the arid and sub humid regions of the United States the importance of cooperating with the Census office in the work of collecting data relating to irrigation. Without such cooperation, full and accurate showing of the progress and develop ment of these regions cannot be as- sured, and the sections wherein re- ports are incomplete, will suffer in comparison with those from which fuller information has been secured.
 In thirteen states and territories. irrigation, wholly or in part. is relied upon to produce crops. It is the application, in the strictest sense, of scientific methods in farming. Its con- tinued development results in internal expansion of the public domain with which no individual or political party can find fault. It conquers the en- croaehing desert and reclaims millions of acres of waste lands. It means an increase in the productive area of our country great enough to feed and clothe another nation almost as popu- lous as our own.
 It is therefore apparent that an accurant census of irrigation is of great importance. The fact that its success depends in some degree upon the irrigators themselves should awaken their hearty interest in this work. Parties owning canals and ditches who have received no inquiries, are earnestly requested to write to L. G. Powers, chief statistician, in charge of agriculture, Census Office, Washing , ton, D. C., and blanks will be mailed to them at once.
 The Director asks that all to whom these inquiries may come will answe, the same as fully and accurately as possible, and promptly return them.

ATTACKED BY INDIANS.
Exciting Experience of a Tourist Who was
 With the Crowd.
From the Tucson Citizen,i

A Raymond excursion arrived in Tucson recently and hun reds of tourists were given an opportunity to visit the city and surrounding places of interest. Four hours were allowed the tourists in Tueson. Almost every one carried kodac, and hundreds of pictures were taken in the city. One embryo photographer carried large camera and he stopped in the lower end of the city to take picture of 8 group of Indians. The camera mounted on a shining tripod was new thing to the Indians, and for q few minutes they did not seem to real ize that their old enemy was staring them in the face-for Indians think that photography is an art of the devil. The tourist squared himself for action, placing the dark robe over his head and about the camera, and an extended arm motioned to the group to get closer together.
 The Indians had been watching the man with interest until his arm swung from beneath the black robe and waved mysteriously it's ghost like instructions. The Indians jumped to their feet, stone in each hand and an ugly expression on every face. The  undaunted tourist waved both hands, bringing them down in the manner of brakeman signalling an engineer. Ii was the signal for the attack and dozen stones were hurled at the ambitious tourist. He saw the move ment, and his hair stood up and lifted the robe from his head.
 People n that part of the town heard yell and saw the tenderfoot tearing down the street, camera and tripod swinging at his side. The Indians looked on and enjoyed the spectacle. People along tine street watched the performance, and there was never better exhibition of sprint ing given in the city. When he ar rived at the depot the crowd joshel him roundly. The Indians will have something to talk about for weeks on the reservation.

 CID That the working plans for the San Carlos dam should be drawn to permit of the complete utilization of all power which may be developed from the head of the water issuing from the reservoir and steps be taken for realizing upon the full commercial value of the power.
 tlS) That that portion of the public domain which can be irrigated and re- claimed from the surplus storage of the Gila River reservoir, over and above what is required for the Sacaton h. dian Reservation, should be withdrawn from entry, segregated into an irriga- tion district, provided with a system of canals of distribution, and only offered for sale at a rate commensurate with their true value as irrigable lands with water rights, the proceeds to be placed in fund to be used only for containing the improvement, extension, and care of reservoirs and storage dams on the Gila River.
 In addition to the investigations authorized by the act of July l, 1898, related work was carried on at the same time under the annual appro- priation for measuring the streams and determining the water supply, thus furnishing general information which has been embodied in the fol lowing pages. No attempt has been made in this paper to discriminate be- tween the data acquired by the two classes of field work.

DEVELOPING WATER ON DESERT
Project for Reclaimine Several Sections of
 Desert Land.
F. Il. NEWELL
IFrom the Phoenix Repablican.l


 From the Phoenix Republican,
 George w. Laing of the firm of Laing X Wiggins of Los Angeles, well borers, was at the Ford yesterday. He has just completed the installment of machinery on the land of Dr. A. J. Chandler, seven miles south of Mesa, with which boring win be prosecuted to the depth of 800 feet if necessary for development water supply. If the operation is successful the Consolidated Canal company will sink number of wells for watering several sections of land which the canal waters are in sufficient for covering. Mir. Laing says that few days will determine can be. developed. No doubt water will be encountered near the surface, but the test is intended to determine whether there is a large permanent supply at depth. Mir. Chandler aud others believe there is a possibility of developing artesian wells in that region, but Mir. Laing does not share in that view and says that experience in California artesian wells has shown that in the ma ajority of cases perma- nent underground supply lifted by a centrifugal pump is more valuale than artesian waters, which are cratic in their risings to the surface.
 The test being made on Dr. Chand- ler's property is of the utmost import ance. Many acres of desert land on the south side can be reclaimed by a system of wells which otherwise could not be cultivated. If the enterprise is successful and the Consolidated Canal company sinks series of wells cheap power will be furnished by the com pany's water power electric plant for operating centrifugal pumps.

small rivers for imaginary transporta tion purposes should be appropriated to the conserva ton of the flood water of streams in the arid regions. These waters could be carried out on the 6es ert lands thus retaining many thou sands of acres to producing bread for the hungry. Thousands of farn homes would follow and tens of thou sands of men would be employed il building reservoirs and constructing canals and many of whom would settl, on the land reclaimed, becoming thrifty and frugal farmers.

A Remedy With Good Results.
From the Tucson Star.l

One of the problems the thickly set tied states is called upon to solve is th e overcrowded population of big cities. The congestion of these centers of pop ulatien is becoming more threatening annually. What is to be done with this surplus population? It will not starve without a struggle. There is not employment for all. The rapid appli- cation of labor saving machinery is dis placing thousands of willing workers, depriving them of the means of earning their bread by honest toll. What is to be done with this seething, sur plus population? Starvation breeds anarchy. It causes bloodshed. It spurns the law and force in it's most threaten ing demonstrations.
 There is at least partial remedy. It is in the government taking hold of the business of retaining the vast arid regions to agriculture. The large sums appro priated for eularging creeks and
