BECKHAM TO DURB|N
What the Governor Of Kentucky
Has to Say to the Govern
or of Indiana.
TAYLOR EXTRADITIoN DISCUSSION.
Viewed fir I'm the Standpoint of One
Who Believes Taylor
Guilty Man.

Frankfort Ky, Nov. l2.-GOVernor
Beckham last night addressed to Gov
ernor Durbin of Indiana, letter re-
plying to the criticism by that eXecu-
tive Of the courts and officials of Ken
lucky in his recent letter refusing to
honor the requisition for Taylor and
Finley, wanted for alleged completely
in the assassination Of Governor GOe-
bel. He severely .arraigns Durbin for
his refusal, charging that in doing Sc
he violated his oath of office to support
the constitution of the United States.
and that he became "a party after the
fact to the most infamous crime in the
history of the state.'' The Kentucky
executive also charges that Governor
Durbin's action was the result of
political bargain made before his cleo
ton to office, and characterizes his
charges against the courts and officials
Of Kentucky as slanderous and mex
cusable Misrepresentation.
Beckham's View of the Constitution.
He takes the stand that the governor
of a state has no discretionary powers,
but only ministerial powers, in the hon.
oring of legally drawn acquisitions
from other states, and this is taken
here as an indication that steps will
shortly be taken in the courts to COM
pei Durbin by mandamus to honor the
acquisitions. If such proceedings are
instituted they will be in the courts
of Indiana, and taken on appeal to the
supreme court. The letter is dated
Frankfort, Ky, Nov. 9, 1901, and says
i'll part:
Calls It "Remarlxab1e" Letter,
Beckham begins with the statement
that Durbins refusal to honor the re-
QUESTION was not unexpected, but the
remarkable letter with which you ac-
cOmpanied the return of the papers
was indeed a surprise to me. * y
1t is true I had been reliably informed
that you had incurred campaign Obliga-
lions which committed you to the pro-
lection of these two valuable adjuncts
to your political fortunes, and that they
had been promised immunity from az
rest under acquisitions from Kentucky
authorities in the event of your cleo
ton as governor You are at
least entitled to the credit of having
faithfully carried out your reputed
agreement with them.
Could Not Believe Tt of Him.
"However, in doing so you have VIC
lated your oath of office and brought
discredit upon the high position you
hold. But even with this understand
ing of your embarrassing position; con
fIOnted. as you were, on the one side
by the law and justice and on the other
by miserable political bargain. I
could not believe that you would so far
foregO the dignity and obligations of
your office as to go out of
your way to offer gratuitous insult to
the people of Kentucky and to cast {,
reflection upon the courts and public
officials of the state.'

The young ladies paid the camp two weeks visit and made many friends, who hope to meet them in the future.
 A recent shipment of seven tons of ore from the Modesti mine, two miles from here, to the shelter at Fl PasO brought the owners the very Satisfac- tory returns of $1G8 per ton. This is the first shipment made from what promises to be very rich and substan- tial mine, and was made mere as trial than with any ether view by MT. Mo desti. The work on the mine, which has been dCne by Mexican contractors, under the supervision of Mir. John Young, consists mainly of shaft 100 feet in depth, from which two drifts are being run lengthwise of the ledge, which at that depth averages six feet in width and will run from $50 to $120 per ton free gold. The country forma- tion is an ideal one for permanent mine, the ledge lying with dip of  about 65 degrees between hanging wall of shale and a foot-wall of DOT phyry.
 A hail storm, quite severe and en- tirely phenomenal for this climate, wis tied us Friday and the weather has been cold ever since. Why, it almost froze," so one of our early-rising citi- zenS informed us.

GRANT OPEN PARCELS

The SENTINEL is advised by the Tucson Land Office officials that the Algodones grant lands will be open to entry on Monday, March 18, 1901 This is surveyed land and embraces about 8, GOO acres, on which there are at the present time about one hundred settlers who will be protected by the government and given ninety days within which to file their entries. A recent report of Spe- cial Agent Holsinger shows that the land is hardly subject to des- ert entry, because of the fact that it is Overf0wed by the Col Orado river and large tracts are covered with mesquite timber.

been nOn-productive and of no account. But the big canal will work a great change there. By the means of this great enter prise millions of dollars will eventually be added to the taxa ble property of that county and growing out of this great industrial scheme, it is not too much to believe, will be the cul- imitation or realization of that most important necessity so long hoped for, a railroad from San Diego to Yuma.

THE LITERAL CANAL.

Work on the Imperial canal is being pushed with vigor and is rapidly approaching comple- ton. Hundreds of men and teams are at work, and it is the intention of the company to have water in the big ditch for irriga- ton purposes in time for the coming seasons crops. Hun dreds of people are daily visiting and Investigating the lands to be Watered by the Imperial, and the company is in receipt of thous- ands of letters of inquiry regard ing the same.

PROPOSALS FOR COUNTY SUP

might be an effort to embarrasS the Territorial administration by the cut ting off of certain administrative bod ies. such as the board of equalization, board of control, etc. The fact re- mains. however. that there is nothing better to offer so far as economy and efficiency are concerned. The Govern CT, in his message, has suggested a change in the organization of the board of control to the effect that the Governor and the Auditor, who under the present law constitute two mem bers of the board, shall be dropped from the board and two other citizens appointed by the governor, as would necessarily be the case under the pre- visions of the organic act. This change in the law will probably be made.
 A bill has been presented in the house to do away with the board of equalization, but suggestions as to the discharge of the duties of that board by other means. so far, present no scheme that will be more satisfactory or that will not involve a greater eX- pense to the Territory and more cum brous machinery to effect the pur- pose, legislation that would make 1t misdemeanCrf for members of that board to accept transportation at the hands of the railroads or their representatives, and other remedial measures touching the discharge of the duties of that board, are more likely to result from the consideration of the bill introduced than by the abolition of the board it. self.
 The suggestion of Auditor Vickers of the Board of Control, that a special fund be created for the support of the Territorial prison seems to meet with considerable approval among the mem bers of the legislature, and such a measure may become law.
 Though two of the members of the Code Commission are Democrats, the work of the commission is receiving considerable criticism from Democratic members in both houses. They seem to forget that the purpose for which the commission Was created was to cod ify the great amount of law the Terri tory already has, and not to make laws. 1.o hoc hn it could under the limitations of the act creating it, there is not much doubt, though for the work laid out for it there has probably been large expense; fer the work actually dOne-cOdifica- tion-one man could have accomplished the work as well as three. and much more economically: but the act creating the commission is responsible for that, and not the members of the cOmmis- sion.
 The Twenty-frst, like all its Drede- cessors, has its ''pop-ups"- members who seem to think they are ''it'', and the whole of it. The Council is tolera- ble in this respect, but the House is af- ficted.
 However, of the personnel of both houses, your correspondent will write later in the game, when legislative character has been more clearly fixed among the members.
 Both houses have the advantage of able presiding officers and chief clerks: but of the two houses, the House is the better equipped in this respect; there is facility, completeness and accuracy of transacting business there that does not prevail in the Council: this is due largely to the slight difference of the method in handling business.
 Very Truly,

R. P. Wake. whose crooked opera tiOns were mentioned in the SENTINEL last week, was captured by Constable McPhaul at Tacna station, fCrty miles east of Yuma on the $. P. railroad, last Wednesday evening. The officer searched him and found two revOlvers, set oi dice and eighty dollars in money. The revOlvers and dice were stolen from his employer, w. H. Lyons, proprietor of the Exchange saloon. Wakes preliminary examination on Thursday resulted in his being held to the grand jury in the sum Of $1,5OO, and being unable to furnish the bond, he was remanded to jail.
 Mr. Geo. D. Bailey secured two very good pictures of Thomas Hart, the man confined in the prison on the charge of murdering Matt. De Vane. Mir. Bailey got one snap shot at the fellow unob- served, and the result was, q natural likeness. The other was taken while Hart was on his guard and he tried to disguise his features by opening his mouth and making face," but his effort was a failure, as he could be identified by either picture.
 Col. A. l.. Grow, of Tombstone, pass ed through Yuma on Sunday nights train on his way to San Francisco. Mir. Grows many friends will be pleased to learn that he is now ''cn easy street," haviug sold some mining property, for which he received thirty thousand dol lars in cash. MT. Grow has experienced a good many ups and downs in Arizona, and the SENTINEL joins in cOngratu Iating him upon his final good luck.
 Hen. Burt Dunlap, chairman of the Live Stock Sanitary Commission, ar rived in Yuma last Saturday and the next day went down the valley west of town to lOOOk at the country with the view of purchasing land. Mr. Dunlap is a wealthy stock man of Graham county and one of the best known men of the territory. We hope he may be- come financially interested in the valley.
 Mitchell Calmers. of Winchester, Ky, arrived in Yuma last Saturday. Mr. Calmers is nativo of Kentucky, and a former fellow townsman and personal friend of Col. Epes Randolph, Johnny Paine and w. NJ. Gay, who were all schCoImates together at Win chester. Mr. Calmers will remain in Yuma during the winter and the SEN TINEL extends to him a hearty wei welcome.
 A. G. Fraker, of Somertcn, informs the SENTINEL that the Farmers gray ity canal is now open to the lower end of the valley, with plenty of water for every body. By the completion of this canal saving for the company of two thousand dollars year will be made over the old system of pumping which has been Tn vogue.
 L. w. Alexander, postmaster of Kofa, was in Yuma during the past week. He returned home on Friday nights train. Aleck had an enjoyable time while in Yuma and made quite repu- tatiOn as singer. His many friends, as well as the musical talent" were sorry to see him leave.
 The SENTINEL presents today we'll written letter from Phoenix containing news and comments of the Twenty-frst legislature. Our correspondent will furnish letter of this character each week, and we believe our readers will find it of much interest.
