NEW FOREST RESERVE

Washington, April 12.-The pres ident has issued a proclamation setting apart the San Francisco Mountain forest reserve. This con serves the water for two and a half million acres of the Salt river val ley, in which Phoenix is situated.
 We were always of the opinion that Teddy" was fair-minded re- garding the general situations in the west, but it appears he has gone over to the ranks of the enemy. The merits of the water scheme have been swallowed up in the larger effort on the part of interruptions corporations and individuals to de- fraud the government out of a vast amount of money, by the transfer of worthless lands, for which many good iron dollars will be paid under the false impression that Phoenix and the Salt river valley will derive benefit therefrom. And this trans fer is to be made, this county swim dled out of a large amount of taxa ble property, the railroad allowed to escape paying it's just taxation, the government swindled into buy ing something the corporations can not use, all because of the benefit that will accrue to the Salt river valley and Phoenix? Nol Such is not the case. It is simply a gigan- tic scheme, which, if carried to com pletion, means money in the pock cts of few and money out of the pockets of the taxpayers. This is only another sample of our just system of government. We send delegates to Washington to inter view our paid servants, but they have become masters, and shut the door in our faces. Then the capi- talist approaches and there is much lowing and scraping. He obtains an interview, and after a time a proclamation is issued as above. Will the American people continue to have their rights sold for a mess of pottage?

DoEs Williams intend to cele- brate the Fourth of July this year? Last year the annual celebration was held at Flagstaff, but owing to the fact that two days before Will jams had been swept from the map by the hand of the fire king, very few availed themselves of the op- portunity to attend. Now we have good cause for celebration, and it is time committees were being ap- pointed to prepare for the event in case we intend to do anything.
