Mr. La Roche, vice president of the same company. The visit is the wind- up of an extensive tour planned in New York several weeks ago. The party first visited Europe and ended up by coming 10 Arizona, on MT. Sis son's suggestion. Mir. Benedict's pres- enee in the party is due to the fact that he is business partner of Cover nor Woodruff, and is on his way to San Francisco.
 The party was composed of burly well-fed, tourists, who with all their means, are not afraid of being sum- burned. We discovered no indications of shirt waists, monocles or other sug- gestions of the effete east and put them up'for a royal crowd to be out with. The party, undismayed by the wash out on the q. V. G. & N, engaged teams and started for Bowie Wednes- day morning, accompanied by Superin- tendent Cutting, who will return to Troy, by way of Globe, at an early day.
 We gather from the party that the Troy properties are highly satisfactory i; that development work, which has progressed for ten months without in- terruption, has been conducted on a careful and legitimate plan and has blocked out immense bodies of splen- did copper ore, upon which stoping might start in to advantage at any time.

One of the officials in charge of the work train repairing the washout be- tween Benson and Nogales on the S.. P. company road stated yesterday that he estimated it would take at least two weeks time before the track would be ready to receive trains. It is estimat. ed some ten miles of road will have to be practically rebuilt between Fair bank and Nogales. On the A. & s. E.. the repairs will have been completed by the end of this week and trains run from Benson to Bisbee. All the bridges and culverts along the river are out and it will require much time to re- place them. The s. P. Co. expect to run a train from Benson to Fairbahk I omorrow.-L Prospector..

Those who are opposed to govern ment ownership of telegraph lines will probably be surprised to learn that the government is operating telegraph lines in Porto Rico and the Philip pines, and that the service is most sat- isfactory. In Porto Rico a message can be sent to any part of the Island for two cents word In the Philip pines the government has 5000 miles of line connecting all of the principal places on all of the islands, and two cents word is the charge. Cablegrams from one island to any of the others cost only four cents word. Goveru- ment ownership would cer ertainly cheap en the rate to the people of the United States.

Tucson. Be content with that. St. Augustine, Fla, was founded in 1865; Chamita, New Mexico (San Gabriel de los Espanolesl, in l59S; Santa Fe in l605; Tucson in l776. There are scores of settlements in the Southwest that are older than Tucson. There are several even in tardy California. Tue son had not even the dignity of an h. dian rancheria when Santa Fe was a goodly Spanish town century old. No order to found it in 1852 was ever given by anyone-nor in 1852 nor in l752. It is first heard of as little rancheria of few Indians in 1763, visited by priest from Bac. Fray Marcos of Niza never wrote an account of the founding of Tucson, in flair round hand" or any other, for the ex- cellent reason that he had been dead more than two centuries when Tncson was founded. The date of his dsmise was March 9, 1858. He never so much as saw the site upon which Tucson-- and so many silly lies-were sometime to be built. Every student knows this. It has been proved by history. Even Bancroft had fun" with these Hassayamper myths (New Mexico and Arizona, p. 394); and Coues's Garces (p. 79) reviews the case. But all this bowling bosh. is not only printed iu an Arizona paper and widely copied-it is said now to have gone into the official archives of the Sons of the American Revolution

THE IRRIGATION PROBLEM.
A Feasible Measure Looking to State and
 National Cooperation.


 William E. Smythe, former editor of the Irrigation Age, is now conducting a department of the Land of Sunshine Magazine on the same subject. In the July number he has an able article urging cooperation on the part of those who believe in State and nation al policies, and submits the following as basis upon which all should agree,
 1. The groundwork of the new policy will be the bill introduced last winter by the Hon. Francis C.. Newlands of Nevada. Its chief provisions are as follows: All monies received from the sale of arid lands (now amounting to about $4, 100000 a year.. shall consti- tuta an Arid Land Reclamation Fund and. be available for the construction of storage reservoirs and main canals to be used chiefly for the irrigation of public lands; lands thus reclaimed shall be open to the entry of actual citizens iu tracts not exceeding forty acres to each entryman;s such lands shall be sold at the rate of sl0 per acre upon easy terms of payment; water stored in excess of the needs of public lands in any given locality may be purchased by the owners of private lands at the rate of $l0 per acre; funds received from sale of lands and water shall be returned to the Reclamation Fund and applied again in the same manner.
 2. A proposed addition to the New lands bill shall provide that only those Statesmay avail themselves of the Arid Land Reclamation Fund which shall have first enacted legislation providing for adjudication of all existing rights and for public supervision of appro- priation and distribution of water. In other words, no State will yeceive Ma tional aid unless it has established 0 good system of administration. A precedent for this policy was estab- lished when the Carey Law was enacted l in 1894, granting, one million acres of public land to each of the States upon the sole condition that said States l should first enact the certain supple mental legislation dictated by the act of Congress.
 3. Another addition to the Newlands bin shall provide for the creation of a National Irrigation Commission con sisting of three members, one from ths Interior Department, one from tn, War Department, and one from ths Agricultural Department. It would be the duty of this commission, as rep resenting the Nation, to pass upon ant authorize all projects to be undertakes
 with the aid of National appropria
 lions. Before such works could actu
 ally be begun this Commission woul,
 certify to their soundness and feasi
 bility from engineering, financial an
 agricultural standpoints. Actual con
 struction could be done under join
 National and State Supervision, as i the case of the debris work now uude l way in California; or by either Stat or National administration, as sha [ be determined. Perhaps the fir. ! method will best meet all the needs { the situation, since it is founded upo } the idea of cooperation between th interested powers.

CITY Public Schools.


tits extremely gratifying to know
that the public school authorities,
especially in the large cities, tor
example, Nashville, Memphis, Jack
son and other places, are beginning
the fall term on the Third Monday.
instead of on the first Monday in
September, as has been the custom
heretofore. There are many good
reasons why this change should be
made general throughout the State,
the principal one being that the
nearer we approach the frost line
the easier it is for the child to con-
form to his changed environment
without seriously affecting his gen.
eral health. Statistics show that
the per cent of attendance in Sep
TENDER, on account of sickness
caused by the changed condition of
life, is below that of any other
month of the year. The reason for
this is very apparent when we take
into consideration the free, out-of-
door life led by the children during
the summer months and contrast
ing it with the close confinement of
the school room, where mind and
body are subjected to the severest
strain. In this connection we are
glad to note that the Public High
School of this place will not open
till the first Monday in October,
when not only the cool nights, but
the cool days, as well, will enable
the students to perform their tasks
with comparative ease. The Board
of Education is to be congratulated
tor making this timely change.
