has the habit, when he breaches upon
any topic identified with municipal re-
form, of hewing to the line. without
any apparent regard as to where the
chips fall. In a sermon which he
preached last night before an especially
large congregation, he replied to the
criticism which has been made during
the past week of Director of Public
Safety Htchcocks methods in securing
evidence against saloonkeepers charged
with selling intoxicants to minors.
He didn't mince his words. and he
mad some very caustic comments to
make upon Il certain magistrates ex
preston of opinion on the subject.
Without mentioning the name he re-
fcrred to what the magistrate had said
as being "arrant Hypocrisy and CON
tnmptible falsehood." Director Hitch

most interested listener. Among
other things. DR.. Lansing said:
This great state. through her legis-
lators. has said that the saloonkeerer
shall not sell liquor to minors. BY
minors are meant children of any age
from their infancy to their majority. 1t
is right for a child. under the law. to
be sent by its parents to purchase any
lawful merchandise. but it is wrong for
it to go into II saloon to buy liquor.
'If the saloon We're only a place
where liquor is sold II would not be so
bad. but we all know that a large
number Of the saloons of this city are
the resorts of crowds of disreputable
women and of far more disreputable
men. who curse and swear. drink and
fight and make the day and night

is brought front to front with these
people. and the influence upon him or
her is communicating to a great de-
gree.

Judge McFic, of New Mexico, has rendered decision Of much importance to the tax payers of our sister territory. He ruled that private land grants are subject to taxation from the day that the survey is approved by the court of private claims. Thousands of dollars Of taxes are involved in the decision. The court also holds that grants must be assessed in the names of known or unknown owners and not in the name of the grant. The land grant barons of New Mexico have long ''ruled the roost" in that section, and have in many ways retarded the prosperity of the territory, but now that they are compelled to pay taxes on their vast holdings they will be willing to part With their land, for a more reasonable consideration. Fortunately for Ari- zona she has never been cursed with any considerable land grants.

The Clifton Heights Land and
 Power Company.

Henry Laub and W. J. Kirkpatrick, the latter prominent attorney of Tue son, arrived in Clifton last week and perfected arrangements for the legal incorporation Of the Clifton Heights Land and Power company. The papers have been seut to California for the signatures Of some Of the subscribers to the company's capital stock after which they will be filed with the secretary Of the territory and the county clerk, and the company duly organized. The surveyors under the charge Of k J.. Young are now at work laying of the land into streets and blocks, and the grading of the Boulevard has been commenced. Water is practically as- sured. which is a most important mat ter. The work of grading the streets will be pushed as rapidly as possible. Work on the tramway, which will connect Clifton with the Heights will soon De surveyed and then the work on the tramway will be commenced. It i- not difficult engineering feat but il will require some time and the ex- penditure of considerable amount of money. It is, however, in the hand. Of people who have had much experi- ence in that line. and when the work is started it will be pushed rapidly tC completion. The company is backed
 by number O. men of easy means who have accomplished far greater enter prises during the present year. MT Laub. who Is one Of the promoters and a large stOckholder in the company
 informs the ERA that his people arc not only able. but anxious, to take every share offered, but the manage ment want the assistance Of local peo pie and will therefore place a smal block Of stock at thsir disposal. How
 ever the work will progress rapidly whether a single share Of this stock i; taken by home people or not. As { matter Of fact, nearly all Of the stock which has been apportioned to Clifton has already been spoken for, and i will all soon be sold.

From the intelligent gentleman, us- ually well informed as to political af- fairs in this territory, who arrived in Bisbee within the past day or two from Phoenix, the Review learns that the impression generally prevails there in administration circles that Col. Brodie will be appointed governor of Arizona within few days. That President Roosevelt does not deem it necessary to remove Governor Murphy, on the ground that Mir. Murphy was appointed merely to fill the unexpircd term of Myron H. McCord, which term has al- ready expired. This position has been com batted by the Murphy partizans, but since it will let that gentleman down nicely and easily it will probably be acceded to by him, especially so in view of the known personal desire of the president to appoint Brodie to the office
