 UNDOUBTEDLY 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- provemcnt would not only bring under cui- 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- ton because the water upon which they have been dependent for centuries has been diverted by white settlers above them. This improvement would be not only strik. ing object lesson of the advantage of irriga- ton on large scale, but also an act oi mercy and iustice.-lLos Angeles Time. Editorial, Feb. 12, 1901.

A WXsHINeroS correspondent of the Los Angeles Times says: As result of charges filed against Judge A. 8. Humphreys of Hawaii, which compelled him to come to Washington to make answer before the Department of Jus tiee, it is well within possibilities that Gov. Sanford B. Dole may resign his office, and M. M. Estee, formerly of California, and Federal Judge of Ha- waii, may be appointed Governor by the president. Estee, like Humphreys, who has been sustained by the Depart ment of Justice, represents the strictly American element in Hawaii, and is also an anti-Dole man.

TEE following from the Clifton Cop per Era is absolutely true, and every old-timer in Southern Arizona knows it to be true:
 In early days Crook was all right. but during the Geronimo campaign of 1sss-l-5. he proved himself to be absolutely incompe- tent, while Miles was the man who made life interesting for Mir. Red. Unfortunately for General Miles he is not a graduate of West Point. and for that reason has had to fight the entire machinery of the army, but he did it. and succeeded in spite of them.

THE Guardian favors the proposition of making forest reserve of the Gra- ham mountains and the Bulletin op- poses it. The people of this valley, who are most vitally interested, can plainly see the desolation that follows the destruction of the moun- tain forests. and hence favor the reservation of all the forests of the territory under proper restrictions for cutting the timber. Without those forests Arizona would soon become un- inhabitable.

VT the increase, CochtSe contributed more than s4 ,000, 900 and becomes the second county in the territory in point of wealth. The greater showing of that county is made by placing greater valuation on mines than formerly.
 The aggregate raises by the board of equalization over the returns made by the boards ofsuperyisors was SIP, ,642. 32. The returns of Graham and Coco nino counties were permitted to stand. The changes in the other counties con- slst mostly of raises on the valuations of live stock. The return made by the Maricopa county board was raised ESQ., 408, and the Navajo return by $4l ,1l2.- 12.
 The railroad valuation fixed at the June meeting of the territorial board was 4.77l ,599.45 upon total length of l05l miles. These figures are incInd- ed in the whole valuation.

There appears to be an epidemic of bribery and corruption charges against our western courts. Besides the Den- yer cases, very serious charges are made against Judge .Harney of Monta- na in reference to his decision in the Minnie Healey mine case. Itis charged the Montana Ore Purchasing Company kept prepossessing woman in their employ whose duty it was to inhu ence the mind of the judge by mods and becks and wreathed smiles.n It is charged that this lady's services were so valuable to the Ore Purchasing Company that she received salary of S5,000 per annum. The afhdavits made on this m ltter claim that so skilled were the lady's efforts that the judge saw the case through her eyes and gave 8 verdict for her employers Should these disgusting charges b, proven true. and we trust they maJ not be, no punishment could be tot severe for all ,ncerned.-l Denver Min
