For Small Settlers.

Congress is beginning to recognize that the national irrigation propa- ganda is not scheme to irrigate vast tracts of private lands at public ex. pense, thereby putting money into the hands Of speculators and those already well able so take care of themselves 1; but that it eoutemplates the reclama- ton and putting upon the land of bona fide esettlers-home-b builders. When this idea becomes firmly grounded in the minds of Eastern meu--that the land is not to be reclaimed and then jobbed away in large tracts, but that it is to be safe-guarded so that it will become available for the small settler who wants to take up forty or eighty acres, and build home upon it and stick his blow into the soil and let the W ater follow his furrow, then there ill be very little opposition to storin g, by the Government, of the flood waters of the West, so as to make 1t available for such use.
 l Such policy carried out would peo- pie the arid West'wi the same class of citizens as the early pioneers who settled the great Mississippi valley, carving out for themselves and their children homes in the wilderness, and making and creating their living and prosperity from the soil.

 Among the many good things that Arizona possesses, not the least, by very long ways, is the School of Mines department of it's university at Tucson. More than this, the faculty of the school seems to be constantly giving out desirable bits of information as tothe mineral resources of the terri tory. Arizona prospectors and mining men, when they run across something new, appear to have acquired the habit of sending sample to Prof. Blake of the school; or, when they encounter 8 phenomenon about which they want more light, the kindly old gentleman at

lrriaated Homas.

In the irrigation debate in the House of Representatives Representative Bell, of Colorado, stated that he had served on a special committee which went to the arid West to investigate conditions of labor and capital, and that they found in Utah the best labor conditions of any where in the United States.
 Why" he said <" did We find there the best condition of labor7 The reason given was that the men employed in the coal mines and in the metalliferous mines and everywhere else had small homes on this irrigated land, and when ever there was a shortage of work the miners of Utah went to their little homes and cultivated their land. A family can raise more on one acre of good fertile irrigated land, in my judg- ment, than can be raised on an average of three or four acres in the Eastern States. This condition quadruples the inducement for laboring men to make homes on this land, causes them to take lively interest in their reciama- tion."

incorporation a Failure.
TFrom the Globe Silver nelt.l

ifrom the Globe Silver Eelt.l
 The movement for the disineorpora- tion of the Town of Globe took definite shape last Saturday in the circulation of petitions favoring such action, and which petitions have been signed al- ready, we are creditably informed, by the necessary two thirds of the tax payers of the town whose names are on the assessment roll.
 The Silver Belt favors aud vii. con tinue to advocate disincorporation- for one reason among others, that it is an expensive luxury, for which the compensatiug advantages are ridicu- lously inadequate. Aside from the sprinkling of the main street, the town has derived no benefit of consequence from being incorporated, and the sani- tary conditions are if anything worse now than when the town organization went into effect nine months ago. The ordinances passed, and few of which have been enforced, are too numerous and too exacting in their provisions.
 What was needed was a simple vil- lage government, to enforce such. sani. tary measures as would keep the town reasonably clean, to sprinkle and keep in condition the main street and to maintain order and punish misdemean- ors; and the salaries of town officers should have been made correspond iDgly small.
 There is good deal of false senti- mentality, and we might truthfully say, hypocrisy, expressed over the alleged moral benefit from incorpora- tion, which is exposed when the fact is made known that vice is suppressed in one place and licensed in another with in the town limits. There are laws on our territorial statute books to regulate vice. Why not enforce them without discrimination?
 The council declare that if after the facts given in their statement have been presented and "a majority" of tue taxpayers still stand for disincorpora- tion, the council will gladly acquiesce and abide by the will of the people. That is all that can reasonable bs asked of them, and they will certainly be called upon to fulfil that promise
 
 REASONS WHY THE TOWN SHOULD BE DIS
 INCORPORATED.
 The following statement presents thu views of those who favor disineorpora ton:
 First. The Federal census for 190t shows the population within the cor porate limits of the Town of Globe {, be only 1496, number by far too smal to justify or admit of the expense of al incorporation.
 Second. The assessment roll of tn incorporated Town of Globe for tn year 1900 shows total valuation 0 real and personal property to be onl $S65. .6l2 and levy Of six mills on tn dollar, the limit in the absence of bonded indebtedness, makes ayailabl only s2l93.67 for the use of the towr
 Third. The law of 1898, under whic Globe was incorporated, provides Una not exceeding four mills on the dolla may be levied on the assessed valuatio of the property within the town limit for the purpose of paying the salarie of officers and the ordinary eontinger expenses of the corporation.
 Fourth. The present salaries of tn officers of the Town of Globe are | follows, per month: Marshal, $9I Watchman, $50; Clerk, $50; Attorne

G. N. ELEVATOR IS WRECKED
Conservative Estimate of the Dam
age Places 1t at $4,000

Blocked.

A terrific wind storm swept over Min
neapolis last night shortly after o'clock,
and although 1t did not last many min
utes fully S80,G00 worth of property was
destroyed before 1t had passed over The
puIk OF this damage was sustained by
the Great Northern Elevator No. 2, at
. Lyden avenue from which the cupola
and three of the upper stories were torn
completely off and about 10000 bushels
OF wheat stored inside was badly dam
aged by the rain and hail. Wreckage
from the cupola and the stories down
to what is known as the bin floor were
scattered along the line of the Mime
apolis & st. Louis road for a distance
OF over half mile, completely block
ing traffic for over an hour Sixteen
large scales placed on the bin floor were
wrecked, and altogether the damage to
the elevator is estimated at between
$4,000 and s60,OC0
Two men, the night watchman and the
engineer, who were in the building at
the time, were injured. The roof of ele-
vator No. 1, close by, was blown off, but
no other damage was done 1t.
All over the city windows were broken,
trees blown down and street signs and
bill boards Ieveled
The electric lights were out over
considerable part Of the city for over
an hour the street car service was also
blocked for some time. In this respect
the First and Fourth avenue lines suf-
tered the most, and traffic was not re-
sumed on them until late in the night.
A conservative estimate of the damage
done places it at $50, 000.

English, or, rather. if at all confused,
they forgot the paleface language; but
Gen. Bankhead was determined they
should do duty as soldiers, stand guard,
call out the hours and do all that white
sentry did.
When the general got them, as he be-

12 o'clock all were to listen to. the calls
