In the irrigation debate In the house of representatives Representative Bell,
 of Colorado. stated that IRRIGATED he had served on a HOMES. special committee which
 went to the arid west to investigate conditions of labor and capital. and that they found in Utah the best labor conditions of anywhere In the United States.
 Why" he said. "did we find there the best condition of labor?" The req son given was that the men employed in the coal mines and in the motallif- erous mines and everywhere else had small homes on this irrigated land. and whenever there was shortage of work the miners of Utah went to their little homes and cultivated their land. A family can raise more on one acre of good fertile irrigated land. in my judg- ment, than can be raised on an aver age of three or four acres in the cast ern states. This condition quadruples the inducements for laboring men to make homes on this land. and causes them to take lively interest in their reclamation"

Prior appropri- ators are those who appropriate some thing. Subsequent appropriators are those who appropriate nothing. The most striking instance on record of the subsequent appropriator was the late Honorable Peter Kitchen, for a brief time a resident of Sonora.

The bill for the re-establishing the
 the bill for encouraging THE the National Guard. for CITIZEN 1t has never permitted SOLDIERY itself to be disestab-
 lished, will come up for consideration and probably final action tomorrow We trust that the legisla- ture will take a patriotic view of this measure and vote the National Guard the meager appropriation asked for.
 There is no other state or territory which has made no provision for its militia. Even Nevada, which has been going backward in wealth and impor- tance. has maintained its guard in the splendor of the old days.
 As we have frequently said. the Ma tional Guard of Arizona may never have any emergency work to do. All peaceable citizens hope not. at any rate, but the military spirit must be kept alive and the emblem of order must be preserved. It can be done bet ter by the preservation of the organ ized citizen soldiery than in any other way. This service to the territory can he rendered at SO little cost. only enough to cover the rent of armories or meeting places for the companies, es- timated altogether at not more than s3.60o. This appropriation will meet another one by the government of more than s5.00O in the way of equipment. hut of which the guard will not be able to properly avail itself without favor able action by the legislature upon the pending bill.

The so-called Ivy irrigation bill. went to it's doom yesterday. There
 was never an instant THE IVY from the moment of its IRRIGATION introduction when any BILL. other fate seemed pos
 sible. and 1t was re- gretted by many who sincerely desired wise legislation. that 1t was introduced at all, for 1t was evident that it would obstruct any other legislation on this vital subject. by occupying the time required for the consideration of an- other bill.
 The feature upon which irrigationists disagreed was the section relating to priority of appropriation. Who was right and who was wrong 1t would now be idle to discuss Objection was made too, that the bill was too complicated and cumbersome but in view of the recognized need of some legislation, that objection might have been over come.
 The bill on account of the manner of its introduction. merited the opposi- ton of an overwhelming majority of the delegation from Maricopa county. the region which would naturally be most affected by 1t. It was. in fact. a Salt River valley bill. upon which the general water storage committee had been deliberating for two months with out reaching an agreement. especially upon the priority of appropriation sion a majority of the committee voted for its rejection, but that vote at the request of the minority. was recon sidered. with the understanding on the part of the majority that 1t might be modified SO that the committee could stand together on 1t.
 It was never considered by the com mittee. We believe. again but unex- pectedly made its appearance in the legislature to the surprise of the ma- jority. which found itself thus put in d BoSitioh VI dutosVhiSii to which 1t had hoped to be able to support In these circumstances 1t could not be expected that members from the mining and stock-raising counties. not vitally interested in irri- gation questions. would become ear nest advocates of a measure diseredit- ed in the community would be affected , by it if it should become a law.
 It was the cumbersomencss of the bill that arrayed the farmers of the upper Gila. the next largest agricult- ural district in the territory. against it. The priority of appropriation clause could not very we'll affect them. They have satisfactory system of distri- button which would not have been dis turbed. but they were alarmed by the complex and expensive machinery pro- posed for the control of irrigation, which they are able to control among themselves. So with an overwhelming majority of agricultural representa- t.ves against the bill. as we'll as the opinion of the most prominent lawyers as to the effect of 1t. in the event that it should become law, there was ab- solutely never possibility that 1t coilld become one

Prolific Nav Take Wafer.

Little has been said for some time
about the railroads using city water,
although at the time the plant was put
in there was talk of rates which would
induce all the roads and factories to
use city water in preference to main
tanning plants of their own. Last
night the scity council considered n
schedule of rates to be offered the
Missouri Pacific railroad, which now
has tank and pumping station at the
river. The road would like to ar
range water towers at the depot so
passenger trains could take water
while express was being unloaded,
thus saving the time consumed at the
river. And it certainly is to be hoped
that arrangements can be made to
supply all the water used about town
for only in that way can the city hope
to make the plant self-sustaining and
pay of the bonds and keep up the in
terest.

Saturday night Moran had IA birth

new growth she confidently expects and
she asked all her neighbors TO come
and they came. The crowd is estimat-
ed at 5000. The gas from the new
we'll was elevated in Il pipe ana burn
ed. The Elsmore and Moran bands
furnished music and an informal good
time and general Publication without
any speech making or parades was the
program. All seemed to have a good
time.
Moran people say the well is a D.
c@0, 900 spouter, dry as a bone, and
with rock pressure of 80 pounds.
IL is half a mile west OF town and an
other is to be begun at once. Already
arrangements have been made to pipe
the town with gas and the feeling of
eXaltation in the little city is intense.
A boom is expected and IS certain and
an effort is being made TO stop the
present impulse to shoot prices of
property into the air. This will be
done by plating outlying tracts and
the commercial club recently organized
will put out feelers at once FOR indus
tries and extend the glad hand to all

A LAND BOON.
X c. star

N. =. Sldt.
The tremendous competition for
claims in Oklahoma was not needed to
prove the growing appreciation of the
value of land in this country. 1t is
significant though that l65, S6j people
registered for " quarters" in the new
Indian domain that has been thrown
open to settlement. Men and women
came from all over the United States
and endured extreme discomforts that
they lmight take chance in the great
government lottery.
AS matter of fact no form of prop
erty is as attractive as land, If this
were not so the opportunities for OBJ
tanning it would not be so eagerly inn
proved, For every acre that is offered
there is crowd of seekers. 1t is well
known that the acre of the soil will
not be extended, and it is equally OBJ
vious that the population of the coun.
try will continually increase.
Astute and careful students of the
speculative market are united In the
opinion that the next boom in this
country will be in land. Operations
in stocks have reached point which
renders Investments of that sort some-
what precarious. Manufacturing and
commerce are at high tide and may
experience check at any time There
is no uncertainty about land. 1t has
an intrinsic value which nothing can
affect. This is coming to be more full
ly understood by people who have
capital toinvest, and inquiry for good
land is growing active. The market
will not remain long in its present
quiet condition. There never was a
better time to buy than now.
