Madison, Feb. 25.-By a vote Of 4S
to 81 the assembly refused to adopt
the Lenroot joint resolution to permit
municipalities to raise their debt limit
for public utilities from to 10 per
cent. A prolonged debate preceded
this action, led by Judge Orion
against the proposition and by Mr.
Lenroot in it's favor. Both houses
also rushed through under suspension
of the rules the tax commission bill to
relieve the Northwestern Mutual Lif
Insurance company of Milwaukee OF
many thousand dollars of retaliatory
taxes. 1t provides for the taxing of
companies at the rate of one per cent.
on gross receipts in Wisconsin in
stead of three per cent. on all bust

How to be Popular.
From woman's Life.l

Contribute your best to the pleasure of others. Study the character of each and sympathizs with each other in troubles or joys, however small.
 Be gentle in speech. Never retort with an angry word, remembering that the second word makes the quarrel.
 Govern yourself, guard your temper, avoid moods and pets and sulkiness.
 Be useful; deny yourself and prefer others; readily pardon any seeming lack of attention.
 Beware of the scandal monger and shut your ears to what ought not to be repeated.
 Cultivate cheerfulness and amia- bility. A smiling face chases away gloom. Say pleasant and kindly things when you have the opportunity. Be not intolerant, agree to differ in opin- ion, but refuse to turn loud in discus sion.
 Remember that your best friend is your mother, and have nothing to do with those who think otherwise.
 Do not expect too much, but far bear and forgive. Do not charge bad motive when good one is conceivable.
 Do not monopolize conversation or attention. and don't talk too much of your own affairs. There is limit to peoples interest in your concerns.
The Florence tribune., 1901-06-22

the indefensible position of doing noth- ing itself or allowing any one else to improve this great natural reservoir site.
 2. We firmly believe that the inter- ests of humanity dictate that the h. dians should be gathered on the reser- vations, have lands allotted to them in severalty, and that they be furnished with farming implements and an mex haustible supply of water for irrigation of their lands, to the end that they may become self supporting. By this means will a home life be furnished for the Indian and he will more rapidly advance in civilization as a conse- quence. He will abandon his nomadic life; his children will be kept at home and educated in neighborhood schools, instead of being sent to large Indian schools at 6 distance where they are kept Gas it would seeln) for mere purposes of show. After being in- structed in the arts of civilization for a time they are returned to savagery, to become more unhappy and discon- tented than if they had never received the questionable advantages. We feel that the present policy of the Indian department is all wrong in this regard
 3. The Pima and Maricopa Indian reservation contains $50, 900 acres of as fertile land as lies within the bound aries of Arizona, and is admirably adapted for homes for these people, as well as the wandering Papagoes, who are now compelled to prey upon thu herds of our farmers and ranchmen fol subsistence.

HOUSE MEMORIAL NO. 4.
To the Senate and House of Representa- tives of the United States in Con-
 qress Assembled.

We, your Memorialists, the Nine teenth Legislative Assembly of the Territory of Arizona, respectfully rep resent that the National Irrigation Congress, held in Phoenix. Arizona, on the llth of December, A. D. 1896, unan- imously adopted the following:
 Whereas, The Pima and Maricopa Indians tribes numbering in the aggregate ten thousand souls. have been deprived of the waters used by them in irrigation before the advent of the white race in America through the appropriation of such waters ty settlers on the headwaters of the Gila river; and
 Whereas. Through the loss of such waters the lands once cultivated by these tribes have become barren and worthless, and the members of such tribes have become a charge on the Government. and forced by the loss of their fields into lives of degrada- tion and penury and
 Whereas, Such tribes have from the ear Hest days been the friends and allies of the white race; and
 Whereas, The people of the United States have pledged themselves by solemn treaty to protect such tribes in their property and property rights; and
 Whereas, The Government of the United States has and now is engaged in the ex- penditure of hundreds of thousands of dol lars for the construction of works of irriga- tion for the reclamation of lands belonging to other Indian tribes; therefore, be it
 heSOlVeOs mat tnlS congress do approve the proposed construction. under the plans of the U. 5. Geological Survey, of the Buttes reservoir. in Pinal county, Arizona recently reported, to again reclaim the lands of these tribes, believing that by so doing can the Government alone honorably redeem the broken pledges made by it to these people. and thus preserve from further want and degradation two of the surviving Indian tribes of the American continent that have always been the constant friends of the white race.
 Resolved, That we approve the proposed construction of such reservoir not only as just and philanthropic, but as economical and good policy, as in a comparatively shors time the expense of maintaining such h. dians as Government charges will far exceed the cost of the irrigation works required to make them a self-supporting and self-re- specting community.
 New, therefore, your Memorialists, the Nineteenth Legislative Assembly of the Territory of Arizona, desire to go on record us earnestly endorsing the above recommendations of the Sixth National Irrigation Congress for the following reasons:
 l. The reservoir site referred to having been withdrawn iron entry by Government authorities, cannot now be utilized by any private corporation, and the Government therefore occupies

PRICES OF LAND.

Improved lands, with government title and water right, can be bought for from SEQ to $50 per acre, according to location and im- provements. In the immediate neighbor- hood and to the south of the Casa Grande ruins there are thousands of acres covered with heavy growth of mesquite timber yet open to settlement. These are among the choicest ia the valley. Water in inexhaustI- ble quantity is found at a depth of from twenty to thirty feet; in fact, river seems to be flowing underneath, Here is splen- did opportunity to take up and improve land with pumping system of irrigation, which is said to be successful on small tracts.
 However, with the completion of the San Carlos reservoir, pumping will be thing of the past, and it is only mentioned here for the purpose of showing what can be done. and to magnify the further fact that what was once considered

Next to Maricopa it is tine most important agricultural county in the Terri tory. It is traversed from east to west by the Southern Pacific railroad. and branch of the great Santa Fe system is now ap- preaching from the north. The objective point of this road is a connection with the Sonora road. of the same system. The Southern Pacific Is also building in this direction from Tempe, aud it is confidently believed that work will not cease until the Deer Creek coal fields are reached and con nection is made with another branch of that road running from Bowie to Globe and now completed to Fort Thomas.
 Thus it will be seen that Pinal county is the theatsr of railroad building at the pres ent time, and inside of Q year Florence, the county scat, will he

Is in truth the most productive land on the globe and that there is water in abundance
 bring every foot of it under cultivation, only waiting for the magic wand of capital to develop it. There is no water-storage scheme on the Pacific coast that has oDe- half the natural advantages and so few en gineering difficulties as the San Carlos reser voir. Here nature has built the abutments in ever-liying rock, and all that is left for man to do is to put in the headgate, the bluffs which form the gorge being only separated by paltry 220 feet. A country is drained through this narrow canyon 200 miles square, representing 4OO00 square miles. or larger than Maine and Massachu- setts combined. The rainfall is sufficient to fill the reservoir twice year, and the land to be brought under cultivation is practi- cally lirDitless. This may read like fairy tale. but Is is every word true, and has been
 eriHed time and again.
