BY the terms OF the District Appropria-
ton act approved June 6, 1900. the sum Of
S1.5G0 was appropriated for the purchase
and improvement of lot IL. block IL.
Brookland. for Use as a playground for
the children in attendance at the Brook
land school Soon after the passage of
the act the owner made a proposition to
sell the lot to the District at the price
named in the Appropriation bill.
Before the matter was decided the ques-
ton of buying the lot upon the PROPOSE
.tion Of the owner was referred to the
Auditor. In his report he stated that the
$1,000 by the act appropriated for the lot
in question was to pay for the lot and the
improvement thereof. and that would be
obviously contrary TO the act to buy the
lot fer the sum appropriated and then to
incur additional expense in improving the
same by grading, etc. Unless the owner
should be willing to improve the lot by
doing the necessary grading and fencing.
the Auditor advised the Commissioners not
to make the purchase.
The recommendation of the Auditor was
approved by the Commissioners and it is
now reported to the Commissioners by the
Superintendent of Repairs that the owner
of the lot has graded the same to suit its
use as a playground for the Brookland
School. and the acceptance of the offer Of
the lot for 81, 900 is recommended.
Captain Beach. the Engineer Commits
sioner. has approved the Recommendation
and it is understood that his associates
will concur.
The Security Fire and Marine Assur-
ance Company, OF Chicago. has filed an ap-
plication with the Commissioners to en-
gage in business in the District. In con-
nection With the same they have deposit
ed with the Secretary to the Board certifi-
Gates In banking institutions to the
amount Of 100000. which represents the
capital paid in. The Assistant Assessor
has forwarded the application to the Com
missioners with the request that the mat
ter be referred to the Attorney for the
District for an opiRion whether the COM
pany has fully complied with the law The
recommendation was yesterday approved by
The Commissioners.
Upon the recommendation of the Super

WOULD ASSIST THE WEST.

The Eastern business men are, gen.
timely alive to- the, Importance OF:
Western arid land reclamation is'
shown by the continuous press re-
ports of the actions of business and
commercial organizations endorsing
the national irrigation movement, and
urging the reclamation of the arid
region. The recent action OF the
executive committee of the National
Business League at Chicago. whose
membership represent tens of millions,
is an example. Strong resoiutious
we're adopted urging upon Congress
the preservation and development of
national resources by the constitute
tion Of storage reservoirs BY the.

tion and to save for use in ard Of
navigation and irrigation the flood
waters Ahich now run to waste and
cause overflow and destruction, and
for the reclamation of the arid public

preservation of the forests and re-
forestation of denpded forest areas as
sources Of water supply. the cOnserva-

and the increase of the resources OF

SUPREME COURT.

Thursday morning at 10 o'clock the
Supreme Court was formally opened,
Chief Justice Street and Associate
Justice Doan and Davis on the bench.
For some unknown reason Justice
Sloan failed to arrive from Prescott.
On motion of w. III. Stilwell John
F. Ross of Idaho and E. w. Lewis Of
Phoenix were admitted 20 practice.
Several motions were made in
several cases, principally with REFER
ence to the filing Of briefs and in each
case 30 duys was allowed Chief
Justice Street announced it as the
rule that bliefs must be filed on the
first day Of an adjourned term. The
attorneys generally seemed to have
absorbed the id % that such fling was
only necessary on the first day Of each
regular term.
Recess was then taken.

THE : ELECTIONS. ! !.

The elections passed of very quietly
last Tuesday with the following re-
suits. -
The Republicans have carried the.
national election by large and in
creased n,ajorities, and Mckinley 10
Mark Smith was elected by 8 ma
jority of about 500 as Delegate. -
The County election was somewhat
mixed, b1t the Democrats have all
the Offices except that the Republicans
have elected Chas. W. Barnett as As
sessor, A. J. Edwards, District Ala
torney, and B. A. Fowler, an. As-
semblyman.
The vote in Mesa precinct was 800. I.
Straight tickets. especially Democratic,
was the order of the day. The local
democratic nominees receiyeda good
many complimentary Republican
votes, but the Republican local nom =
inees did not fare quite as we'll. -
The returns show that Phoenix and
surrounding country strongly sup
ported their local candidates, to some
extent regardless Of party, although
it is hard to figure out the cause Of
the results as things were very mixed.
On the Republican side in Mesa
Barnett, Mock and Shewmsn ran
ahead of the ticket, while on the
Democratic side Hunsaker, Peterson
and Fulton were the favored ones. :
Mauk, for, Recorder, is defeated BY
about 250. Shewman. for Repre-
sentative, is defeated by . narrow
margin, having run somewhat ahead
of his ticket. Peterson is elected, but
his majority is unknown at present.
A. Hunsaker, democratic nominee
for Supervisor, is elected. He is .
good man, and will no doubt make a
good and conscientious officer.

1t is f1ct not generally known
that the Chinese Exclusion law comes
to an end by Limitation on May Is,
1902, ard that it will have to be re-
enacted if the Chimes are to be kept
out of this country. The law was
passed in May. 1882 to be effective
for ten years, and later was extended
to another ten years, which is now
nearly at an end.

Much of Arizona's future, like the
future Of other parts Of the so-called
arid region, depends upon the pushing
of irrigation projects. The people are
alive to the necessity of irrigation on
a large scale, however. and there is
every indication that the young active
territory will go on groMing in wealth
and population until ircan no longer
be kept out of the sisterhood of states.

The Gazette has this to say in re-
gard to the contest for Probate Judge:
One of the surprising results of the
election was the defeat of N. A. Nor
ford for probate judge. Judge Nor
ford is a deserving, competent man
and was surely deserving Of an cleo
ton. We have nothing but good,
however, to say about the fortunate
opponent. Judge Langston is first
class young man. He is sober, indus
trious, learned in the law and very
capable, trustworthy Dung man and
we feel that he will honor the position
of probate judge.

Recess was then taken.

A famous surgeon of France has
como to the conclusion that the
greatest pain q man is ever called
upon to endure is to have tooth
drawn and that all stories of the hor-
riPle pain suffered BY the wounded
upon the battl. field or those operated
upon at the hospitals are 6gments Of
the Imagination. The nerves will
only transmit pain up to certain
point Of intensity such as the pain of
a tootheacht, but any pain exceeding
that in intensity ia not transmitted
and has merely stupefying effect. It
ought to be a satisfaction to Ole with
a too.hache to know that. he is en-
during the greatest pain that is pos
sible for human being to bear.

The increase in populA tion which
usually follows the admission Of new
state is best shown in the case Of
Alabama, which in 1900 is l.s2s,6S7
as against l,5ls,ot7l in 1890, repre-
senting an increase since 1890 OF
sl5,eso or 20 8 per cent. This rate
Of increase is slightly greater than
that for the decade from 1880 to 1890
when it was 1913 per cert. From
1920 to 1880, the first deoennial
period in the history Of the state, its
population increased l42 per cent, and
in the folloAing decade 9o.s per oent.
The population Of Alabama in 1900
is more than fourteen times as large
as the population given for 1920. the
Grst census taken after its organiza-
sion as state in 1919.

AFTER THE BATTLE.

The election passed OF all over the
territory in the greatest quiet SO far
as we hsve Leensabie 20 igarn. 1t is
in marked contrast with the result in
many places where the people has
been taught to believe that a perfect
civilization exists. Here in Arizona
among the so-called "undersirable
citizens" the best of feeling prevails
even on elsction days, and the judg
ment and conduct at the polls is taken
to be the wisdom of the voter and hls
right 10 act upon it is not thought to
be deIied him. In older settlements
that ''free and SO easy" feeling is not
so common, and just in proportion as
it disappears its place is occupied
with the spirit of sel6shness that acts
out the political pharisee to degree
that fairly disgusts the Arizona
Kicker" It is deserving of criticism
that the State of non-com batant
Dunkards- and Friends shall stand at
the head of the list as being the scenes
of the worst behavior on election day
and the most restricted latitude ex-
tended to the judgment, conduct and
feelings of the voter. In Altoona
every voter is sovereign within him
self, and itis out of the question for
there to he a conflict when the spirit
of independence thus prevails in all
parties The liberty loving citizen
of this fair Italian climate could not
develop otherwise than into full
souled, big hearted lover of his fellow
man and the institutions Of his
country, among which is not disre-
gard Of the opinion of his neighbor
aud fellow citizens. Arrests for il
legal voting and bribery will be con-
fined TO the states that falsely assert
their superiority in intelligence and
fine sensibllities, while Arizona, sen
sible of the fact that ner school houses
are as ,commodious and we'll equipped
as any in ,,hs East, and her children
an bright in intellect as any the sun
eyer shone upon, goes straight for the
head of the class unswerved and un-
harmed by al the hard sayings so
fondly quoted by the press of the
East No matter who wins the cleo
ton no Arizonian will declare busi-
ness of, but will fully respect the
choice OF the majority as the decree of
destiny, and the will of the inevitable.
He is q traitor to his county who will
warp the general will by evil desire,
cunning chicanery or threats of foul
disaster. Now that the greau people
have marked out the line OF progress
along which the whole county must
move for the next four years, is it not
the duty of everyone, whether he was
or was not in sympathy with the pre-
vaii'ng politics. to take off his coat
and roll'up his sleeves and labor hand
in hand that the most may be realized
as the result of the verdict of the peo-'
pie. Lot there be no skulking, no
backsliding and no intimidation
against plain duty. The lessons OF
good citizenship, of free ballot and
fair count as practiced in Arizona
will yet enable her TO take her place
among the respective states Of the
union, and be an everlasting example
of good behavior to the older states
that with it will maka up the greatest
nation on earth

free trade for the island at this time an
the ground OF sympathy with the inhab-
ftants have not looked into the case
enough TO see that what they propose is
not a relief to the people in the way OF
taxation, but an increased and heavy bur
den The truth is that we have never
treated any people who came under our
flag with such generosity and considera-
ton as we show in the proposed iegisIa-
ton for Puerto Rico. The citizen Of Ari-
iona or New Mexico pays the duties on
every imported article which ne con-
sumes, and all internal revenue taxes,
and what he pays goes into the treasury
Of the United States, while he is left 70
tax himself in addition for al the ex-
penses OF the territorial government. IN
the case Of Puerto Rico every dollar of
taxation raised by the United States di-
rectly or indirectly from the island or its
products is paid into the island treasury.
The United States under this bill viii no.
take one cent of revenue from the island
Of Puerto Rico, while it taxes the in
habitants Of all the other territories Just
as 1t taxes the inhabitants OF the states.
II IS difficult 70 see how a more liberal
and generous arrangement could be de-
vtsed, and I am heartily in favor Of II
