the street or alley beneath which the
sewer is laid. Letters expressing alarm
lest their houses sink into Tire trench
cover the desks of the Commissioners,
and are answered from recommendations
received from the Office of Captain New
conner The public Is always treated fairly,
and no annoyance or injury that is not
necessary is allowed. But that does not
hinder protests against lead OF sand
before citizens door or the stencil aris-
ing from the hot asphalt as it is applied

hinder scathing criticism Of the lei talk
OF the employees Of the street Contractor
or the rumbling OF the steam roller as it
packs the concrete into place.
The House ON the Hill.
But complaints do not stop hare. Pop
erty owners howl about assessments for
new curb and sidewalks, and lay many
shifty schemes to get rid OF paying them.
In vain they allege that the old curb IVES
straight and the broken sidewalk as good
as new. The Engineer Department has
all the law ard most of ths fact its
side. aud the abutting property is forced at
last to pay its share of the cost of the
Improvement. In like manner the chang
ing OF grades in the extended streets in
the suburbs is common source of an
noyance 20 the good people>who live there.
They voice their wees in emphatic Ian
guage and implore the Commissioners to
come to their relief. 1t is not unusual for
the owner of a house on some extended
street or avenue to find it ten feet above
grade when the highway is improved az
coIdiBg 10 the plans of street extension.
When this happens the stranded property
owner generally tries to make the Conn
missioners recognize the fact that he has
been damaged to the amount of several
thousand dollars and that they should
build substantial stone steps to his man
sion on the hill
But such complaints as this are hurried
downstairs to the Office of the Computing
Engineer, under whose supervision such
work is done. This oTicial has memoran-
dunn books galore. and was never known to
be taken unawares by a protest of this
character. He brings to light forgotten
facts; he quotes the statute under which
the grading was done; he informs the
Commissioners of many things the CORES
pendent failed to mention, and ends by
contradicting all the complainant has said
about the sinking of his house and the
caving OF his yard. He shows conclusively
that the situation is one that was inevita-
Bile in the nature of things, and recon-
mends that the writer be informed that
it would be an unneard of breach of Off
cial wisdom to grant his request.
But with all the protests that come to
them the Commissioners are patient and
painstaking- They can be stern when it
is necessary, but the occasions when they
show their official teeth are very rare,
though the list of complainings is a long
one and constantly growing.

Col. NJ. H. McCoRD was in Tucson this week and the Star pays him a we'll deserved tribute. Speaking of public matters in general, he said Ari- zona's chances for statehood are good. but that the arid land question, the reclamation of the same by and with national aid, is of great consideration at present. While he is working and hoping for statehood. his effort among his congressional friends is to assist Delegate Wilson in securing his ap- propriation for the San Carlos reser- goir. This accomplished, the govern meut will soon discover that it pays to reclaim arid lands, especially to assist she Indians in reclaiming their lands
 to agriculture, and thus be enabled to support themselves by their own labor.

FROM all sides come encouraging re- ports of work being done for the Gila dam, designed to store water for the starving Indians on the Saeaton res ervation. No opposition to the prop osition has been openly developed. The report that Governor Murphy is working against it is without founda- tion. Mir. E. B. Gage and Mir. F. M. Murphy have both assured us in per- sonal letters that Governor Murphy is doing all in his power to secure gov ernment appropriation for building the dam.

A JOLLY EXCURSION.

A hack, drawn by four horses. full OF
young Denison friends of Miss Margar-
ct Howorth, drove out to her home
near Dow City and completely sur
prised her. The young folks spent the
evening and part of the morning in
various ways, much to the enjoyment
of all, and partook of adelightful lun-
cheon OF sandwiches, hot coffee, olives,
cake and fruit, which was the best part
of the program. The party returned
to their homes in the wee sma' hours
of the morning, but all agreed that the
time lost in sleep was more than repaid
by the pleasure received.
