MORE IMPROVEMENTS.

Contracts have been let by
several firms in Stafford 10 Lou
Hayes, of Tucson, to lay cement
sidewalks in front of their places
of business. So far only two
houses in town have them, Birdno
Bros, and the Jones Hotel, but
before many months we expect
nearly every business house in
town will have them. The work
will begin in about two weeks.
This spirit of improvement is
commendable, and we trust that
none will put in sidewalks less
than the regulation width, which
is 10 feet. If they do it will be a
matter of regret as long as the
work stands. While making these
permanent improvements make
them right; it only means the ex-
penditure of a few more dollars.
While private property is be-
ing improved we should like to
direct attention to public improve
ment. One thousand dollars will
pave all the walks on the school
house grounds and put in cement
steps. This should be done by all
means, if not all at least one-half
of it, even if it should require a
small special tax. 1t would be
money well invested.

RUSTLING WILL STOP.

One Of the laws passed by the
last Legislature will save thous
ands Of dollars to the tax payers
of the Territory, besides it will
have the effect of abolishing the
cattle stealing industry.
The law we refer to is the one
which changes the penalty fol
cattle stealing from a felony to a
misdemeanor.
Heretofore at nearly every
term Of court numerous cattle
stealing cases were docketed and
conviction was a rare occurrence,
juries refusing to convict, and with
great deal of justice, too, when
the sentence would perhaps be ten
years for stealing a 50 calf.
These cases were very expensive,
and so long as the cattle thieves
were reasonably sure they would
not be convicted, it had tendency
to incomagc rustling.
Now this has been changed.
Where the penalty is misdemean-
or, conviction, on reasonable proof,
is almost certain. 1t is not the
severe penalty that deters crime
but the certainty Of conviction.
Under the present law, with an
almost certain conviction staring
them in the face for each offense,
cattle stealing will soon become u
thing of the past.
And yet some say the Legisla-
ture did nothing.

only to be shot down. A young
American was held up by Mexi-
can two weeks ago and after get
ing about $50, shot his victim, the
shot going through the jaw, an
other American coming up the
Mexican ran off. Complaint was
made to the officers and in about
two hours they were back, the
officers telling how they caught
him and how in trying to make
his escape they shot him.
1t is also reported that after the
road reaches Nacozari that it is the
intention of the company to push
on south through great mining
and timber country, besides a vast
agricultural and cattle country and
come out on the lower end Of the
gulf Of California at Mazatlan. If
this should be done, great coun-
try would certainly be opened up
as the writer has friends that have
been all through that country and
gives similar advise to get there in
the very near future.
Within the last few days it has
been reported that the Southern
Pacific has had men out, starting
from Cochise and going through
Gleeson where the report Of the
big gold strike was made only a
month ago, then near Pearce and
Tombstone and within few miles
Of Bisbee and then on to Cananeas,
Mex, and push on through to the
same points and coming out at
Mazatlan as before stated the other
road will do. Anyway, railroad
men seem to have their eyes on
the west side of the great Sierra
Madre mountains to say the least
and no doubt the near future will
see, practically, a new country
opened up in Mexico.
Many interesting things could
be written about the numerous
fine mines, the country, the people
and their future, but an idea has
been given of rich and prosperous
southeast Arizona.

On Thursday last Henry Hill
went to Judge Doan for the pur.
pose of getting J. II. Cox excused
from the jury. Judge Doan is
always willing to excuse a jury
man on a good excuse, but as
Henry could not find any excuse,
and as it is necessary to have so
jurymen in order to operate court
successfully, his honor informed
him that with Cox there was just
so jurymen and just 40 without
Cox, therefore without some good
and sufficient excuse he could not
be excused.

Markings on Mars.

Astronomers now agree that the
markings on the surface of Mars form
a complete network of narrow. straight
lines crossing the entire face of the
planet in all directions. and are always
visible. The narrowest are thirty to
forty miles wide. Two hundred of
these so-called canals have been
charted. Many observers believe them
to be stretches OF land darkened an
nually' by vegetation and laid out in
strips to facilitate irrigation. 1t is
supposed from the unity in the design
of the network that the inhabitants
of Mars are under one government and
are highly skilled In the engineering
demanded by the fact that the planet
is entirely without rainfall. Students
in hydraulics expect great things from
the continued study of Mars.

II Sydney Smith were alive today he
would realize that in the last eighty
years of the century just closed con-
siderable progress had been made in
this country-more perhaps than in
any country in the civilized world. 1t
was only in 1920 that, in one OF his
savage attacks on our people, in the
Edinburgh Review, he sneeringly ask
ed: In the four quarters Of the
globe. who reads an American book?
Or goes to an American play! Or looks
at an American picture or statue?
What does the world yet owe to Ameri-
can physicians or surgeons? What
new substances have their chemists
discovered or what old ones have they
analyxed? What new consultations
have been discovered by the telescopes
of America? What have they done in
the mathematics? Who drinks out of
American glasses? Or eats from Am
erican plates? Or wears American
coats or gowns? Or sleeps in Ameri-
can blankets?" The records of the
nineteenth century show that these
questions have been answered pretty
conclusively to the British mind, II not
always satisfactorily to the British
pocket. remarks the Washington Star.

HEAVY MAIL FROM IRELAND.
All Sorts Of Mementos and Souvenirs Are
Found In the Missives.

Found In tho Mlssives.
Irish mail has become an item in the
delivery of letters. Christmas and st.
Valentines Day have been the only
periods Of the year hitherto recognized
as generators of excessive mail. Now
st. Patrick's Day has called for place
on the calendar of heavy mails, says
the Philadelphia Press. The foreign

laden with endearing sentiments of the
Emerald Isle, some of them having the
sentiments inscribed on the envelopes.

Of shamrock and strips of moss and

from which st. Patrick drove away the
snakes.
The interchange of mementos of st.
Patrick and his fame are becoming an
established custom of st. Patrick's s
Day. There is also visible evidence
that the traditions of Ireland's patron
saint are preserved in this way, just
as the sentiment of st. Valentines Day
has been observed by the descendants
of every cline.

Washington, Aug. 5.-Cuba will in
all probability be turned over to the
natives of the island on the third an
nivesray of the destruction of the bat
tleship Maine, February IS next, at
which time the Cubans will probably
celebrate the Inauguration of an in
dependent government. Gov. Wood
has announced that it will require
eight months to get matters into
shape to turn the government over
to the Cubans. This would fix the
time March 1, but inasmuch as the
time named is only approximate, it
is believed the work that remains to
be done can be completed by the an
niversary of the blowing up of the
Maine. which was the event that made
peaceahle solution of the Cuban sit
uation impossible.
