England. Oldest A1ehouse.

The oldest licensed village alehouse
In England is claimed to be the George
inn, in North St Philip. The license
dates from 1897. Each story of the
picturesque old structure overhangs
that beneath. The front is broken by
bay windows, porch and a fight Of
stone steps leading to a doorway in the
wall. At the back are more quaint doors
and windows and turret built against
the wall incloses an outside stair,
while in the yard still remains part Of
the old gallery found in so many hos
telries of the middle ages. Most of
the front is timbered. and a curious
chimney surmounts each gable. The
upper floor inside is of plaster.

WITHIN the past few weeks, sew
eral prominent farmers have called
upon us and asked why the GUAR
DIAN is silent upon the condition of
the wa ter in the Gila river, claim
ing that stock will hardly drink it
at all and that tender vegetation
dies after heirg irrigated with it,
Our reply is that this paper, a few
years ago, agitated this very ques-
ton, but received no support from
those most vitality interested, but
was severely censured by a great
many. We agitated the question
until the board of supervisors ap-
pointed committee to inspect the
conditions. The committees re-
port was that nothing was going
into the river from the mines in
furious to vegetation. We do not
know whether the water is differ
ent now than then or not, but the
water is now almost milky white,
but has been in that condition i'm
, mediately below Clifton for sever
al years, and the committees re-
port was that this white substance
does not injure vegetation, and
: cited Henry Hill's garden at Cliff
ton in support of their theory.
We do not know whether it is i'm
aginary with those who believe
the water to be impure OF not, but
if the waller is impure something
should be done, and we would be
glad to have the observations of
all who have noted any change in
the water of the Gila within the
past few years.

rs GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE TO
IRRIGATION NECESSARY?

With something over seven mil
lion acres irrigated in the United
States, which include number of
large irrigation systems and dams,
all built by private capital, says
The National Homemaker, the ques-
tion frequently arises-why cannot
an additional seven million acres
or an additional twenty million
acres of arid land be transformed
by private capital into productive
irrigated farms? In other words,
why should it be necessary to ask
any government assistance for this
development of the West? 1t is
admitted that irrigation pays; that
larger, better, and surer crops can
be raised under it than by a de-
pendence upon the elements, and
that irrigated communities are, as
rule, very prosperous ones. Nor
can it be said that any project is
really toe large Or requires too
much capital for private enterprise
to undertake, provided it offers an
assured profit or certain income
on the investment. Why, then,
will not the arid states have a grad
u9l and healthy development
through the continued establish
ment Of irrigation systems and the
building of irrigation dams by
private capital seeking invest
mont?
The answer is, that no great ir-
rigation system which has been
constructed as an investment for
private capital, and for the purpose
Of selling water to farmers in order
to earn q permanent interest on
that capital, has been successful or
profitable as an invest. This has
been the history in this country
and in India, where, years ago, the
government assumed control of all
large irrigation works.
Cooperative companies, where
the shares in the water company
are held by the owners of the ir-
rigated lands, and the water system
is operated as an adjunct to the
cultivation of those lands, the own
ship of both land and water being
thus united, have been almost uni,
versally successful and profitable
to the owners.
But the great irrigation works

waters that now run to waste in

RAPID WORK
Being Done at the Mines Some Good
Ore Struck.


Since putting the air compressor
at work, ut the Horse Shoe Cop
per Mining Company's mines, they
are sinking their shaft at the rate
Of six feet per day and timbering.
AS they go down, the formation
gives better evidence of ore bodies
underneath, and the management
is consequently very much pleased
over the prospect. More miners
are being added to the force all the
time and only white man arc now
employed.
While doing some work on one
of the company's properties ad-
joining the Great Eastern, the 9TH
er day, tie miners uncovered a
fine vein Of very rich copper glance
ore, near the surface. No particu-
lar attention will be given TO this
property, however, no matter how
rich it is, until the Great Eastern
is down five hundred feet, which
will not be very long.

CHRISTMAS and New Years are
holidays the world over and
should be observed as such by all
classes. No business place should
be open from II o'clock till IL
o'clock. No petition should be
necessary in any town to make
this binding. Every perso n
should have reverence enough for
both days to voluntarily close
their places of business and cease
their labors. One year from now

THE merchants Of Thatcher have
made a sensible move that should
be followed by every merchant in
the county. We understand that
they have agreed to trust no one
for goods. This is simply the be-
inning of what should follow,
which would make this valley the
most prosperous on the face of the
earth. No merchant should trust
anyone, and should sell for moth
ing but cash. No professional
man, mechanic OF laborer should
perform work without their pay
in cash as soon as the job is done.
No farmer should sell any of his
farm produce without the cash be-
ing paid upon its delivery. Let
the example set by the Thatcher
merchants be followed throughout
and at the end of the next twelve
months everybody's financial con-
dition will be considerably i'm
proved.

KRUGER'S NEW HOME.
Description of the Ex-BOer PresI-

Description of the Ex-BOer PresI-
dents Residence Mt Utrecht.
The new dwelling which Mr.. Kruger
occupies at Utrecht, Holland. is called
"Oranjelust." meaning Orange JOY" or
flavor" which is somewhat appropri-
ate, seeing the favor with which he
was treated by the one remaining men,
Der of the house of Orange here, the
queen of the Netherlands.
Oranjelust is separated from the
public pathway by an iron railing and
stands in small garden The garden
is flanked with bushes, and the center
space is occupied with a rockery.
Around the latter tulips have been
planted to represent the Transvaal flag,
and when they bloom the ''Vierkleur"
will be just in front of Dom PauFs
window.
Oom's part of the house is the right
hand lower portion, consisting of re-
ception room, bedroom and dining
room. The first of these is deliberately
fitted up in the style of Louis XIV, the
walnut furniture being Upholstered
with green material worked with lilies
in white. The curtains are of green
stuff also.
upholstered in green, and there are
green curtains to the windows. But
the dining room is the wonder of those
who are fortunate enough to get peep
into it. Oak upholstered with red leath-
er and red plush curtains, the chamber
has a very warm appearance. The car
pet comes from Smyrna. II is a most
elaborate piece of work. 1t will be re-
membered that dark green is the color
of Mr.. Krugers livery.
The remaining portion of the house
is for the ex-presidents followers,
while two doors farther up the road the
family of the Eloffs have taken up
their abode. Some time ago DIR. Leyds
took a house in the town. so that now
the entire Boer court is close together,
and Mr.. Kruger only needs to blow a
whistle if he wishes to hold cabinet
council.

Third. men fail. Fourth, some will

probabilities contemplated in the CON

are destined to live longer
than any of the foregoing institu-
tions.
Therefore. actuaries are safe i'm say
ing many years viii pass before one

to his home.
1t is estimated that those taking
contracts with the company now will
be in possession of home in Il to

They will then have possession free
from the burdens of rent or interest,
and pay for the home in ten years
or less, by paying at the rate of
