send a recorded message through space
by electromagnetic waves, which he ac-
complished in 1894. the first to telegraph
from a ship In motion In 1897, and now the
first 10 send a wireless signal across the
Atlantic.
Very few Americans are familiar with the
previous attempts to attain transatlantic
biography without wires, but as long &
as 1850 two Frenchmen had a plan OF SYM,
pathetic telegraphy by which they hoped
TO communicate between Paris and New
York. Machines were actually erected in
the two cities and thousands OF dollars
spent In experiments.
A public exhibition was arranged, but
before the great day arrived one OF the
projectors disappeared, and when he was
years before this Morse made ar attempt
to telegraph from Governors Island to
Castle Garden without wires, but was un-
successful. Three years later his assistant
succeeded In getting wireless signai
across the Susquehanna River where 1t
was nearly a mile wide.
Perhaps one of the most astonishing
plans Of wireless transatlantic communi-
cation was that proposed by j. II. Mower
in 1888. At the inconsiderable cost of
$1,000 this inventor expected TO establish
communication between Montauk Point
and Oporto, Portugal. His plan was
based on the theory That electric currents
can be transmitted through water in a
straight line.
In 1872 America was again excited over
the theory of LOOMS, a dentist, who pro-
posed to utilize electricity from III earth
and a high stratum of air to mmunic
from one continent TO the other, II was
said at the time that the inventor sue
ceeded with the aid Of kites in sending and
receiving signals from one mountain top
to another ten miles away.
plan was TO erect a very tall
tower surmounted by a very tall mast or
the very tallest peak Of the Rocky Noun
tains A similar structure vas to be built
on the highest peak Of the Alps. With
this apparatus the dentist expected to
reach a stratum Of air loaded with cleo
tricity. BY simply establishing ground
wires from his tovers the electric circuit
would he complete; prestol fortunes would
be made.
No less an authority than Prof. Trow-
bridge Of Harvard University 1t udied the
problem of t~elegraphing across the At
lantic without a cable.
Powerful dynamo electric machines,
he writes, could be placed in Nova Scotia,
having n end Of their circuit grounded
near them and the other end grounded in
Florida, the connecting wire being of great
~conductivity and carefully insulated
throughout. BY exploring the coast OF
France two points on surface lines not at
the same potential could be found; and by
means Of a telephone OF low resistance
Morse signals sent from Nova Scotia to
Florida could be heard in France"
Prof. Trowbridge had evidently counted
the cost. for he adds: Theoretically this
If possible, but practically the expenditure
OF energy would be too enormous"

A Yuma Man Talks of Arizona.

The Washington Post contains
the following interview with al
Arizona man:
"If we could only corral the
the whole membership of the sen
ate and the house of representa-
tives and move them bodily to
Arizona, we would have govern
ment aid for the irrigation of arid
land by the first vote after they re-
turned to Washington" says Char.
G. Thorndyke, of Yuma, at the
Arlington yesterday. "If they
would only investigate the condi-
tions they would learn that water
in our western country will turn
into blooming paradise the dry
est and deadliest desert that can
be imagined. There is a good OBJ
ject esson of this in the neighbor-
hood Of Phoenix. On one side ofthe
road the land is irrigated. 1t is
green with alfalfa, fruit trees bloom
upon it and any vegetablN or fruit
will grow readily if plsf ed there.
On the other side of tbs Dad is the
desert, so called, thesotrt of land
which composes miAi9hs of acres
of Uncle SANS public domain.
The difference between the condi-
tions on the two sides Of this Phe-
nix road are entirely due to water.
The soil is the richest imaginable,
and the government could turn
areas greater than many Europ-
can Kingdoms into agricultural
paradises by the expenditure of Il
few millions, which would be re-
turned q hundred fold in the pro
ducts of the country which would
be rescued from eternal drought" "

Says That Dowie is Elijah.

A Cleveland, o., dispatch says
Dowletie Elder Rollin N. Bouck
recently returned from Chicago and
who, for the last two years has
been in charge of the Zion taber
nacle here, preached June 18th to
an audience of $50 that John Alex
ander Dowie was Elijah. He
quoted many passages of scripture
to prove that Elijah was to come
again, and said:
"The general overseer, Dowie,
has been impressed by God to re.
veal the fact that he is Elijah and
that he is fulfilling the prophecy
that Elijah would come again to
prepare the way for the second
coming of the Lord. And you sim
ners that won't accept of the gos-
pei on earth and who refuse to be-
lieve this coming of Elijah, will
roast in hell until you die.
II believe it, and you will be-
lieve it if you study your Bibles
and clear the devil out of your
hearts. The Bible says He shall
go forth in the spirit and power of
Elijah. The overseer has gone out
tothe world. He is Elijah. You
can't break the scriptures or their
promises. He is preparing the
way for Christ, as the Bible says
he shall. John the Baptist was
Elijah, but he did not know it un-
til Christ told him so. The time
has come when the Restorer of all
things is at hand"

THE Philadelphia Ledger thinks:
Our exporters are engaged in a
keen commercial warfare with
European competitors, and if it be
possible to expand our trade
abroad by moderate concessions to
the foreigner without damaging
disturbance to home industries; it
would only be the path ofprudence
for Congress to note the situation
and act accordingly. When the
general welfare demands it, spec
ial interests must yield, however
reluctantly. AS for reciprocity,
the word involves giving and talk
ing, and no country will consent to
deal with us on the principle of Civ

On last Saturday night tele-
gram was received by Mr.. Will
iamson, the railroad agent, that the
freight rate on hay had been re-
duced to s4.OO per ton from Stafford
to Benson. Although it was a
great injustice to this valley to
ever raise the rate and the reduc-
ton was very slow in coming, it
will yet give the farmers of this
valley an opportunity of selling a
portion of this years crop at Bis
bee and other camps in that vicin-
ity. So far no change has been
made in the rate to Ell Paso and
Lordsburg. This should be ad-
justed as the present rate, as COM
pared with other points, is rank
injustice to this valley.

PEOPLE WHO OWN THE WATER

Says the Enterprise: Finally the
supreme court Of Arizona has rem
dered a water decision somewhat
in harmony with law and equity
as in the Slosser case the court de
cides that water belongs to the peo
pie and not TO the canal companies
The Enterprise has for years con.
tended that the function of canal
company is simply to carry the
water which belongs to the ranch
CT, from the river to his farm and
that for such continuous service q
reasonable price may be charged
as carry tolls. Something like one
year ago, Judge Street, who used
to be attorney for the farmers, rem
dered the most damnable opinion
ever given on the subject Of water
and its ownership. The supreme
court has very wisely placed its
mark Of condemnation on his
theory. In other states it has long
been established that water once
applied to land for beneficial use,
becomes an inseparable part there
of, thus being the property of the
farmer, not of the canal company.
Of course, the farmers right ceases
when the water is not applied to
beneficial use. 1t then belongs to
the next Oldest appropriation on
the stream or water way.

GOVERNOR MURPHY's
LATEST OUTRAGE

editorial appeared in the Tucson
Citizen of last Monday:
Mr.. B. A. Packard, the only
Democrat on the Board ofTrustees
of the Territorial reform school,
has resigned because Of necessary
absence from Arizona for some
months, and Governor Murphy has
appointed Mayor Schumacher of
Tucson in his place.
We have no objection to the ap-
1pointment of Mayor Schumacher
per Sc. Mr.. Schumacher is a
broad-minded, level-headed man
who in many respects will make
an admirable member of the Re
form school board. Mr.. Schum-
acher is marked by neither puritan
ical ideas nor dissoluteness, and
under ordinary circumstances we
would hail his appointment as q
prudent and polite act on the part
of the Governor. But under the
circumstances we feel compelled to
denounce the appointmentof Ma
yor Schumacher or any Republican,
as an outrage upon the majority of
the people of the Territory. Gov
ernov Murphy has set an example
of narrow partisanship and politi-
cal bigotry unknown heretofore in
the history of Arizona. The Demo
Gratis are in large majority in
Arizona, yet the Republican gov
ernor refuses to give the majority
even minority representation on
any Of the semi-governmental
Boards supported by public taxa
ton. What crookedness are the Re-
publicans up to-what do they ex-
pect to steal-that they are so care
full to exclude Democrats from the
Boards?
Something must be rotten some
where. Plunder must be con-
templated, or the opponents Of the
party in power would not be eX-
cluded from the scrutiny that
makes party government tolerant
and effective.
The examining Of the Reform
school board with Republicans, is
not Murphy's first sin. For the
first time in its history every
member of the Board of Regents
of the University Of Arizona is u
Republican. No Governor, before
Murphy, ever thought Of commit
ting such Il gross abuse of partisan
power. Is it the Governor idea
that the University Of Arizona
should be strictly Republican in
stitution? Does he mean that the
Reform School shall be Republi-
can machine, and manager for
the Republican hungry?
Governor Murphy has struck a
blow at decent Government, aye at
good Government. Educational
institution, charitable institutions,
reformatory institutions, should be
non partisan. If they are made
partisan they will go to ruin, and
be simple burden on the tax pay
ers without compensating return.
We repeat again, there is only
one view to take of the Governors |
action in excluding Democrats
from the Boards, and that is that
the Republicans contemplate theft.
