Southern Education.

It was announced that John D. Rockefeller, by a gift of S1, 900, ,OO0, had given the first large sum to what is intended to be the greatest movement for edu- cation in the South that that section has ever known. The gift is made to the executive committee of the Southern Edu- cational Conference, which is to meet at Athens, Ga.
 Rockefeller's is to be used not alone for negro education, but equally for the education of blacks and whites. It is to go into one fund, which is expected to reach many millions, and which is to be used for the prac- tical regeneration of the whole southern educational system. The government has already be- gun by the giving of substantial aid to many important schools in the south.

Settling the West.

Carefully prepared estimates show that 44,000 settlers have gone into the state of Washing
 ton alone this spring. Accurate figures as to the settlement in Northern Minnesota, North Da
 kota and Montana are not yet available, but it is thought that the statistics will show at least 20 per cent more immigration than the figures for Washington.
 On this basis the settlement of the states from Minnesota west to the Pacific this spring has al- ready reached total of 97,000 people. This is 31, ,0O0 more than the estimates of the move ment during the spring of 1901.

Full Dress.

A belated traveller, who was compelled to stay all night in a backwoods cabin, says that soon after the frugal supper of "sody biskits'' and fried ''side meat, y swimming in grease, had been eaten, d tall, gaunt youth of about IS and an equally sallow and gaunt girl of F, both bare footed, took their hats from the wooden pegs in the wall and pre- pared to go out, whereupon their mother, taking her pipe from between her yellow teeth, said reprovingly:
 "Go long an wash your feet, Levi; you and Looly both Hain't you 'shamed to go off to an evenin' party without washin' your feet ?"
 They obeyed, but as Levi took the washpan from a bench by the door, he said with a grum- ble:

SAN DIEGO PROPOSES.
Wants to Wed Arizona, Her Nearest Neighbor-Must First Secure a Divorce-Proposal Received With Favor

Neighbor-Must First Secure a
 Divorce Proposal Received With
 Favor.
 SAN DIEGO, April 23.-A pc tition has been drawn and will be circulated during the next few days seriously asking the board of supervisors of this county to communicate with the territorial government of Ari- zona with a view of having com missioners appointed from the territory and from this county to consider the feasibility of San Diego county becoming part of Arizona, after being legally sep arated from the state of Califor- nia. It is proposed to have the petition in the hands of the su- pervisors at the May session.
 There is considerable interest taken in the movement, for in many ways it has been found that the interest of Southern California and of San Diego in particular are not the interests of Northern California, and in some cases their interests are conflicting. This has been found particularly true in the game laws and it would be utterly inn possible, because unconstitu- tional, for the legislature to frame state law that would subserve the interests of all.
 The seasons when, according to law it would be right to hunt certain game in Northern Cali fornia are the seasons when it would be naturally wrong to hunt them in San Diego. Ducks are here when the seasons are closed and not a one can be found when the season opens. Quail are nesting here in the open season and should not be shot.
 There are many laws which if framed for Northern California and enforced in the south would work a hardship, while the con- tra-proposition is just as true. On the other hand, the interests of San Diego county and of Ari- zona are almost identical. The proposition, it is believed, will meet with as much enthusiasm in the territory of Arizona as it will here.

A Noble Dog.

TOLEDO O., April 22.-A big St. Bernard dog saved the life of Josie Smith, aged nine years, who fell into a cistern today. People saw the dog snifing and smelling around the curb and then they saw him disappear through the hole. In a short time they heard mufied barks, and they at once ran to the spot.
 They found the noble animal supporting the little girls head out of the water with it's paws, while it kept up a barking for help. The girl was lifted out and then the big dog was as sisted from the cistern. The an imal followed the girl and watched over her until she was fully restored to consciousness.
 Josie was visiting with friends just outside the city limits on Central avenue, and the dog, it is stated, is one of the Alta Ken nels', which are owned by Mrs. Lee. There was eight feet of water in the ciStern.

Timing on the Colorado.

There is little doubt that there is gold in the Imperial soil aggregating many tons, but existing in so small par ticles that it can never be saved. This soil was deposited by the Colorado river, and an exchange says that along the Colorado d hundred companies are engaged in dredging the sands brought down from the gold bearing sections of northern Arizona, Utah and CClo- rado. Not only is,the immediate vicin- ity of the river bed dredged, but the dredgers are washing the sands in the river beds for miles on both the Ari- zona and California sides of the stream. On the Bill Williams fork, one of the main branches of the Colorado, is planned the largest placer mining, which includes the erection of dam which will hold in reserve the flood waters of the stream, that they may be economically distributed for the wash ing of the bed of the stream of the lower river, and contemplates the plac- ing of water on many hundred acres of placer ground lying between Harqua Hala mountains and the Colorado river. In that locality the Spaniards and the ancients worked out great quantities of gold by dry washing, and it is de- clared by experts that water placed there will produced untold millions in gold.-Imperial Press.

THE MURPHY AND VICKERS
 CASE.

The suit brought by E. $. Ives against Geo. w. Vickers, late territorial auditor, and Governor Murphy to recover moneys al legged to have been illegally drawn from the contingent fund, was passed upon by Judge Kent Saturday. The demurrer which had been entered was sustained in the case of Murphy and over ruled in the case of Vickers.
 The judge held that all the warrants issued were illegal, Lut that the law did not apply to the receiver but only to the man who drew the warrants. The court holds that the law under which the suit was brought ap- plies only to unfaithful territo- rlal OttlclalS acting OHlclally Tn an unlawful manner. Vickers issued the warrants as auditor and he therefore can be held in this action. It is alleged in the complaint that Murphy received and expended the money for his own personal use and not for any public purpose. Therefore his action in receiving it is held not to have been official, and the legislative act is not applicable to hlm. The money can only be recovered from him in suit brought by the attorney general.
