Private Miller, No. 320S, lay in the end
cot. The big school room had been turned
into a hospital, and the black-boards
stretched around the walls like band of
premature mourning.
Once he had been a very big man. but
now his hairy arms that lay listlessly
outside the cover were almost the same
size from wrist to shoulder, and every
bone In his skull showed plainly through
the skin. His hair had been clipped and
so had his beard. but a thick stubble hid
his big, gaunt jaws. The doctor said that
he was probably going to recover, but he
did not look it. Enteric fever had made
such a wreck of him that death seemed
to be written In his deep-sunken eyes and
sound in the weak, hollow tones OF his
voice. He was used to hospital life, hav-
ing been down to Wynberg twice, in the
first six months of the war, with Mauser
holes In him. Then he got the fever at
Natal Spruit, and this was all that was

daughters, and the latter an equal num-
Der of sons. Five of the Day girls have
been married to quintet of the Sunday
boys. Another wedding between the fam

 Judge c. E. Moorman returned from Florence Monday where he had been on legal business. While in Florence Judge Moorman met and talked with 8 railroad surveying party who were in Florence for the purpose of beginning a survey there, up the Gila and San Pedro rivers to Benson. The survey ing party belong to the Santa Fe sys- tem and came from Prescott to Flor enee. Just what the Santa Fe would expect to gain by connection at Ben son is not clear and the building of such a line would it well with the theory that the Phelps-Dodge people, who will soon have 6 line from Benson to Deming and El Paso, were entering into B traffic arrangement with the Santa Fe. It has been the general un- derstanding, or rather, suppositiou, that the Bisbee and Fl Paso road would do business with the Rock Island which will soon reach Fl Paso. If the Phelps Dodge people have such a business arrangement with the Rock Island, then the sants Fe would be more likely to build from Phoenix up the Gila and San Pedro rivers to some where near Old Camp s5rant, then up the Aravaipa canyon and across by the Cedar Springs gap, striking the Gila again about the center of this valley, thence up that stream to connection with the Santa Fe between Silver City and Deming. Such route would be found to be entirely feasible, besides it would result in the development of some of the richest mineral sections Of Arizona. Everything points to mu oh active railroad building in Arizona next year. This valley stands q chance to get one or two more lines. The con { meeting of the Gila valley with Clifton and Morenci--a great agricuitura. sec. ton with a population of 10000 in- habitants with the greatest mining camps in the outhwest-woald only require about 10 miles of railroad and this is believed to be the best railroad proposition on the map.

TIE TRIBUNE has been furnished a copy of Judge 4. s. Humphreys answer to the charges of the Bar Association of the Hawaiian Islands. To us it seems complete, and the Attorney Gen eral has evidently come to the same conclusion, as he has sustained our former townsman in every respect. In his answer submitted to Attorney General Knox, Judge Humphreys says
 Permit me to call attention at the outset to the notable fact that, in spite of the volumin )us material filed against me and the very evident industry with which every act of mine which could possibly be made the subject of com plaint has been scrutinized and laid before you and the apparent disregard of expense with which the persons op- posing me have undertaken their labors. there is no charge affecting Dy integrity as man, my impartiality as judge in the trial of causes, or my knowledge of the law. In those par ticulars, in which the public is most interested lest the fountain of justice be corrupted, the petitioners for mv removal seem to have found no ground of complaint, and l may perhaps say here, without impropriety, that of the causes tried before me which have been carried by appeal or writ of error to tue Supreme Court Of the Hawaiian
 Islands (about seventy) only one has been reversed"

USDounTEDnT the first work in irrigation which the government should undertake is the construction of dam on the Gila River at San Carlos, in Arizona. because this im- provement would not only bring under cul- tivation a large area of arid land for the use of white settlers, but would also relieve the urgent needs of thousands of friendly Indians, who are now in starving condi tion because the water upon wkich they have been dependent for centuries has been diverted by white settlers above thom. This improvement would be not only strils- ing object lesson Of the advantage of irriga- tion on a large scale, but also an act oi mercy ard justice.-lLos Angeles Time,

THE Citizen this week publishes special dispatch from Washington which says it has been practically de- cided that Judges Street and Doan will not be reappointed. The people of Arizona are losth to believe the re- port, for Judge Doan especially has made a record of which any man might be proud, and Judge Streets ability is beyond question. The TRIBUNE sincere ly hopes both may be called upon to serve another four years.

The State of Montana will shortly have land sale that will eclipse the recent government lottery in oklaio- ms, where two million acres were dis posed of to home seekers. About three million acres distributed throughout every county in the state will be auc- toned off by Land Register Long. A state law prohibits the sale of any lands at less than sl0 an acre, and where Register Long fails to receive bids of at least sl0 he will only lease the land to the highest bidder. The board decided that purchases by any one person shall be limited to l60 acres of agricultural land or $40 acres of grazing land.

COMMENTING on the tendency of the human race to "go west" the New York Evening Post says: 1.-Two re- markable human migratsons are un- der way-one of these movements talk ing thousands of people every month from the states constituting the East and great middle West to those of the far West, while the other is bringing into the country made poorer through the exodus a new set of people. Inn migrants from the northern parts of Europe, Finland, Norway, Sweden and Russia, come to make their nfw home on lands which the tide of eLai- grafton has left unoccupied, or at least available for new set of tillers." :" If the movement is kept up for a con siderable time the West will be the only exclusively American portion of the Union, yet it is least considered by the powers that be.

THE TRIBUNE is essentially NEWS PAPER, as we'll as being boomer for the San Carlos dam on the side. Last Saturday it contained twelve items of interest overlooked by B contemporary which'went out by the same mail, the most notable being the attempted as sassination of the President. The reading public takes little interest in billingsgate attacks on "Tinhorn" Charley by "rhievingp Tom, and hence this paper does. not propose to devote any part of it's space to such literature. It has higher object in view than to "down" somebody.

INFORMANT RAILROAD PROJECT.
Benson, Connecting With the
 s. P. and Phelps Dodge Line.
[grom tho Phoenix RepublIcan.l

fBrom tho Phoenix Republican.l
 Reliable in formation was received in Phoenix yesterday that there is in con temptation the construction of rail- road which will be of great importance to this locality. The projected line will run from Phoenix to Benson, where 1t will connect with the Phelps Dodge railroad system, and also with the Southern Pacific.
 It is understood tha. Mr. r. Nj. Mur- phy and some eastern associates are considering the advisability of building the line. For this purpose the Phoe- nix < Eastern Railroad company was recently incorporated, and while a number of the directors are officials of the Santa Fe, Prescott 6s Phoenix rail way. this undertaking by Mr. Murphy has no connection with that company. He simply asked his friends in Pres colt to act as directors, and it hap. pens that some of them are officers of the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix road It is understood that Mr. Murphy has put Q survey party in the field to m ake a preliminary survey in order to en- able him to determine whether such line would be practicable at reasonable cost. It cannot be doubted that if the people along the line of the proposed road show disposition to encourage it's construction Mir. Murphy will be able tc secure necessary capital to build the road. He is now in Europe, but will return to Arizona next month, when, it is said, he will give the sub ject his earnest attention.
 The importance of the proposed line to Phoenix and the Salt River valley is apparent at glance. The great min eral districts in Pinal county beyond Florence would be brought into direct connection with Phoenix, and very important market for Salt River valley products would be opened. The Ray mine, as well as numerous other impor- tant properties in that locality, would be steadily operated if provided with railroad facilities. whereas now the mining industry in that part of the ter itory is badly handicapped by the high cost of coke and fuel.
 By connecting at Benson with the great Phelps-Dodge system, another direct line from Phoenix to Fl Paso would be established. It is said that within another year the Phelps Dodge system will comprise more than one thousand miles of railroad, one term mus being at a port on the western coast of Mexico. The country in Mex leo which is being developed by ths new line is richly mineralized, and many important mines are being de- veloped. Thus new field for the trade of Phoenix merchants will be opened, and the line to Benson could not fail to greatly stimulate the marke: for the products of this valley.

The grand free street parade which takes place at 10 o'clock on the morning of the exhibition is the most magnificent display ever seen. Don't miss it.

A WASHINGTON correspondent says: "As general proposition the officials at the Department of Juztice do not look with sympathy on the frequent attacks on territorial judges. Attor- ney General Knox has already found that it is a common thing to make charges against territorial judge. He says that all of them cannot be bad,
 and that there must undoubtedly be good ones among them. The Attorney General attributes the tendency to make such charges to the fact that these officials are not appointed for life as are regular federal judges. Their appointments are for only four years, and their offices are temporary. The facility with which they can be removed on charges of almost any kind creates a desire for their removal for certain purposes, and thus the life of territor- iai Judge is never a satisfactory one.

The Naval Court of Inquiry.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. l2.-The members os the Sehley court of inquiry, Admirals Dewey Benhan and Howison, arrived at the navy yard at l2:S0 o'clock. They wore civilian clothes and no salute was fired as they entered tue gate. Admiral schley and his counsel arrived at the courtroom at l2::45. The court of inquiry convened at the Navy Yard at p. m.
 Admiral schley arose and said that with extreme regret he was obliged to challenge Admiral Howison as a mem- Der of the court.
 The challenge was noted and court took an informal adjournment at :2S p. n. to permit Admiral Howison to prepare his statement in reply to Ad- miral Schley's charges.
 The court sustained the objection to Admiral Howison and excused him as member of the court. This is re- gArded great victory for schley, and sharp snub to the. navy depart ment at the beginning of the proceed ings.

 Burt Mossman, captain of the Arizo- na Rangers, is fast completing the or ganization of his company. He will not choose his sergeant, however, ontiI the entire company is formed and tried. Four members have been selected and, strange to say, all of them are from Texas, originally. This choice has been made out of 240 application The applicants are from this territory, generally, but some hail from New Mexico. Thos. Holland, Bis6ee cattle man of the age of 2S years, will be a member of the company. Holland has been in Arizona for years. Leonard Page, a deputy sheriff of Coehise county and for years past with the Cananea Cattle Company at Greene's ranch, will also be one of the rangers. Possibly the man with the best record ia trail- ing criminals is Herbert Grover. He is the Arizona Cattle Association de- tective and has for the past few years been working in southern Arizona. 1t was Grover who followed Matt Burts, the daring train robber, into Montana and captured him after an attempted robbery on the $. r. road near Bisbee. He also arrested and lodged in the Wilcox jail Burt Avord, the famous desperado. Alvord afterward escaped, and is now fugitive from justice. Grover is known over the territory as Bert" and is s years of age. Geo. E. Scarborough of Tucson will also be member of the company.--E Enter prise.
