IRRIGATION OF THE WEST.
President M ay Treat of lt In His Forth
 coming Message.

WASHINGTON, October 30.-Elwood Mead, irrigation expert of the Depart ment of Agriculture, had talk with the President to-day, and they dis cussed the irrigation of the great arid lands of the West. Mir. Mead has sever al plans for irrigation, and will sub nit some of these to the President. It is understood that the President, who lived many years in the West and is we'll acquainted with the arid condition of that section, will say good deal in his message on the subject of irriga- tion.
 The western members of Congress are extremely hopeful that Congress, tn coming session, will extend national aid to some rational plan for irrigation. President McKinley's visit West last May did much to increase the friendly feeling he had for the West, and in a number of his speeches he referred to the need of irrigation in the West.
 It was generally thought by the western Congressman that President Mckinley would have given consider able space in his next message to Con- gress to the discussion of the need of Federal aid in the reclamation of the millions of acres of lands that cannot be cultivated because water cannot be obtained.

RAILROAD NEWS.
Line
 Through Florence.
Its Speedy Completion Is
 Assured.

PHoENIx, A. T., Nov. 2.-Two of the most important railroad deals that have recently occurred in the South west have been made public here in the announcements that the Santa Fe. Prescott and Phoenix road had been formally transferred to the Atchison. Topeka and Santa Fe company, and that the former owners of the Santa Fe, Prescott and Phoenix line would build the connecting link between the Rock Island road and the Pacific coast.
 The Atchison company obtained nearly all of the capital shares of the Santa Fe, Prescott and Phoenix and s2,963 900 of the per cent second mortgage bonds. The latter road was built in lS95-96 and extends from Ash Fork, on tue main line of the Santa Fe. to Phoenix, a distance of over two hundred miles, besides several branches. It has always been one of the most valuable feeders of the Santa Fe and has the reputation of being one of the best paying roads in the United States.
 The main stockholders were r. Nj. Murphy, Prescott. Ariz. D. M. Ferry and Simon J. Murphy, Detroit; G. ". Kretzinger and N. K. Fairbankss Chicago, and E. B. Gage, Prescott.
 It is understood that the sale was not made direct to the Atchison company, but that transfer was first made to a syndicate of New York capitalists, F.. M Murphy engineering the deal and retaining his stock in the road
 Several months ago Mir. Murphy and associates obtaineda rightof way from Phoenix to Benson, through the Salt, Gila and San Pedro valleys. They in tend to complete the line within eigh- teen mouths They are now plapning to build westward from Phoenix to Yuma, distance of 200 miles. At Yuma they will meet the road now be- ing planned from San Diego, aud at Benson will connect with the Phelps Dodge company's line from Benson to Fl Paso via Bisbee. At Fl Paso is met the southern extremity of the Rock Island route, and thereby is solved the puzzle of getting transcontinental line to San Diego and giving the Rock Island the opening it has for years waited.

 She turned a merry, beaming, smil- ing face upon him, and then she re- marked unto him with great amiabil- ity:

From the Tucson Star.

From the Tucson Star.
 County Assessor John Began re- turned yesterday from several weeks absence on the Pacific coast, which hu visited from San Francisco to San Diego. He says the people of the coast show marked interest in Ari- zona and her future. This interest is especially noticeable in Los Angeles and San Diego. Los Angeles is now doing a large business with Arizona. San Diego hopes to do likewise when her railroad is built into the territory The proposed line will run through to Yuma, thence to Phoenix, Florence and Benson, to connect with the Bis bee and Fl Paso road. This rouhe, which is now being surveyed up the San Pedro to Benson, will no doubt be diverted via Tucson, as the cost of building will be much less and the traffic more profitable than by tue San Pedro route.

From the Tombstone Prospector-,
 An observing mining man who has been operating for some time in the Republic of Mexico, and who is iden- tifed with some of the largest min ing syndicates in that country, was visitor to the Prospector office yester- dad. He spoke Interestingly of the mining outlook of the country south of us and was extremely entertaining as to the future of the border states.
 s.An immense amount of capital is fnding its way into Mexico" said the gentlemen, land ryOody appears to be prospering. There are some ofthe wealthiest syndicatess of the world engaged iu mining and railroad con struction in the state of Sonora, all making money, but there is a spirit of discontent, lack of confidence in the government, and there are those who prophecy that the time is not far distant when the stars and stripes will float over that portion of the Republic
 s'In the event of the death of Pres ident Diaz--which may occur any mo- ment now, owing to advanced age "a rebellion would be inevita ble, aud is only suppressed now owing to the unrelaxing vigilance of the admins tration and the speedy punishment that is to be meted out to those who would take up arms against the gov ernment.
 s'There are numerous aspirants to the position that President Diaz's death would make vacant, some Of the most resolute and determined among whom reside in Sonora, and in the event of reyovltion the big mining companies would be called upon to furnish the sinews of war of course such demand would be met with resistance; the millions of capital and thousands of 1 American miners would have to be l protected, and should this country re- fuse to lend helping hand thousands of volunteers would go to the assist ance of their fellowmen Sonora would be captured, the flag raised and a arepublic inaugurated. The history of the acquiring of Texas as a part of our domain would be repeated ; it is l conceded to be a fact that history does repeat, and this would be one of the most welcome repetilions that could be recorded by he Amercan historian
 II do not care to go before the pub. lie as an alarmist; these conclusion; have been forced upon me through close observation and general knowl- edge of affairs us they exist in ths lower country. The change in ths affairs of Sonora is anticipated by al
 mining companies operating in tn, state, and when the emergency arise
 they will be found equal to the oc casion."

old-Time Sketches.
From the Clifton Conner Era.

Many years ago party of five gen. tlemen were playing social game of poker in Charley Browns saloon in Tucson. Pete Kitchen, of Sonora fame, Ex-Mayor Maish of Tucson, George Stevens, then sheriff of Graham county, Captain Jeffords, agent of the Chirica- hua Indians, and R. N. Leatherwood, the Little Giant, composed the party. They played along with varying sue cess until thesweet music of the church bells, calling the faithful to early mass, diverted their thoughts to religious matters. Pete said that when he was a boy and attended Sunday school "back in the statesn he could recite every verse in the New Testament. Maish said that he always dId bis business according to the Golden Rule. Stevens volunteered the information that he knew but little about the Bible, but had always heard it highly spoken of Jeffords, wishing to show that he had some knowledge of the subject under discussion, made some remark about Jonah swallowing the whale. The, Little Giant, who had been educated for a preacher, seemed amused, but said nothing Maish remarked that he did not believe there was man in the party, except himself, who could repeat the Lords Prayer, and he looked Pete Kitchen squarely in the eye when he said it. Pete cracked down five twenty dollar gold pieces with the re- mark that he would wager that amount that he could say it ''the first dash out of the box" The money was prompt 1 ly covered, and Pete was told to pro ceed with the deal" Pete seemed puzzled for moment, but soon re- gained confidence, and started off very bravely as follows:
 "Now I lay me down to sleep; if should die before I-"

work for IrrIgation by Senator Dubois.


 WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 2.-Sena-' tor Dubois of Idaho has arrived in Washington. He is here to remain until congress assemblies in December. He said today that he came to Wash ington at such an early date to make every possible effort to interest Presi-' dent Roosevelt and eastern congressman in the irrigation question. He will see President Roosevelt at the convenience of the latter, and wilt discuss at leng tn with him the necessity of big con- gressional appropriation to begin the work of reclaiming the arid lands in Idaho, Nevada, California, Arizona and other western states and ter. ritories.
 He is anxious to have the President in his annual message recommend that congress appropriate su fficient money to begin the preliminary work early next year Senator Dubois seems to be convinced the President will make this recommendation, and heis also satisfied that congress will be liberal in making appropriations for this purpose.
 The Idado senator is also of the opinion that eastern representatives in congress can be convinced of the neces- sity of permitting the appropriation of large amount of money in order to begin and to complete the reclamation of these arid lands.
