CSDouBTEDLY the first york in irrigation which the government should undertake is ct San Carlos. in Arizona. because this inn provement would not only bring under cul- .ivatlon large area of arid land for the use of whito 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- tion on large scale, but also an act of mercy and justice.-iLos Angeles Times Editorial, Feb. F, 1901.

James Hill on Irritation .
From the Los Angeles Times.

James ]. Hill, of the Great Northern Railway, is one of the liberal, broad minded railroad men of the country, who is accustomed to look beyond the end of his nose, and realizes that the prosperity of railroad company is inti- mately associated with the prosperity of the dwellers along its line. It is safe to say that if there were more railroad men of-Mr. Hill's stamp there would be far less friction between the railroad companies and the public, and we should hear less about the desirability of government ownership.
 MT. Hill, and his view in regard to the commercial future of the Pacific Coast are worthy of serious attention. He recently expressed the opinion that the great traffic contest of the next few years is to be between the Pacific on the one hand and the Suez Canal and Cape Horn on the other. He as- serts that the problem for the United States is to get hold of the commerce of the Pacific Ocean, and bring 1t across the Pacific and across the United States, instead of allowing it to be diverted around the globe via the Suez Canal and Cape Horn," aud expresses the belief that by proper effort Amer ica will be able to handle most of this great traffic
 Mir. Hill is also an ardent believer in the national irrigation movement Tn circular letter, sent out by him early this year, regarding the possibilities of irrigation in Montana, he said:
 "With a good supply of water, there are fully two million acres in the Milk River Valley, Montana, which can be made the most productive grain lands in the world. The usual rainfall in the semi-arid region is from 12 to l6 inches. Private enterprise cannot ir- rigate these lands In sufficiently large way to make it successful, ow- ing to the cost for building proper res ervoirs for the storage of the water. This can only be done by the general government, which owns the land. With reasonable expense, lands that now have no value can be made worth from $l5 to $50 per acre, and will readily sell at that price to 8 first-class of set tiers, for the reason that the water supply is directly under control and they have the certainty of a full crop every year"
 A few brainy, wealthy and energetic men like "Jim" Hill can be of inn
 mense profit to the cause of national
 irrigation, and they are rapidly com ing to the front.

Report by Secretary tItchcock.

From the Phoenix Enterprise.l
 Our irrigation correspondent informs us that Secretary of the Interior Hitch- cock, who has developed a strong in terest in irrigation, is stated to be pre- pairing report to the President, en- dorsiug a system of irrigation dams for the arid lands of the west and rec ommending legislation by Congress along this line.
 The western trip made by the pres ideutial party graphically demonstrat- ed to the members the great need of irrigation dams, and showed the beEe- fits derived from the work already ac- complished. It has been further inti- mated at Washington that iu his forth coming message to Congress the Presi- dent will recommend an appropriation for the construction of storage reser- yoirs in tbe arid west.
 Secretary Hitchcock is now prepar. ing lengthy brief on the subject ol irrigation legislation, and will, it is stated, recommend first appropria- tion for the Gila river dam in Arizona He is passing his report on the surveys and accommodations of the geologi- cal survey of his department

FOR a degree0 of ignpudence, which nothing but supreme confidence in the assinine stupidity of inc people can ac- count for, recent editorial in the New York Sun, said to be under the control of ). Pierpont Morgan, excels. After attributipg Bryan's defeat to his making opposition to plutocracy the keynote of his presidential canvass, the editorial referred to exclaims
 War upon llutocracy is hopeless. The democracy will never prevail until it satis- fles the country that the democrats. not the republican party. are the real friends and instrumentsof of plutocracy. They must offer more favorable conditions for money -malS- ing than the republicans can furnish, or they will remain indefinitely as poor in political strength as they are to-day.
 Since plutoeracy means government by the rich. the comment upon that Sun editorial and it's context, made by the City and State, of Philadelphia, one of the few real organs of public | opinion that are left to fight the battles of democracy against the plutocracy which raises its head in both the demo- cratic and tbe republican parties, com mends itself to calm consideration. Says City and State, referring to the editorial:
 It openly and with all assurance throws down the gage of battle in the issue before the country of the Dollar or the Man. Those who have asserted that the real fight going on in the country is precisely about that, have been accused of demagoguery Let not the'appears9ce of Mir.

NEws from Chicago is to the effect that the Santa Fe and Rock Island roads have joined hands and propose to get their share of the business of Southern Arizona and Sonora. It is now believed these big railroads are back of the Bisbee road, now building to Deming to connect with the Santa Fe, and that the gap between Benson and Phoenix by the way of of Florence will soon be closed. With the buiid- ing of this railroad and the San Carlos dam assured, there is an era of pros perity before the people of this valley greater than anything heretofore inn agined in their widest dreams. Keep your eye on Florence.

EDITOR ST. CHARLEs, of Our Mineral Wealth, pays a tribute to the sobriety of one of his printers. St. Charles says: His record in this line is even better than our own" This is equalled only by the ingenious O'Brien Moore, of the Citizen, who says he arrived at his preference for Stoddard after meet ing him and Akers in front of bar. Probably one "set lem up" more ire. quently than the other. There is a sermon in this, which shows how little it takes 10 influence mans judgment.
