American families.
Representative Mondell, whose mas
terly management with the assistance
OF Shafroth. Sutherland, Bell, Glenn.
Edwards and other western congress
men brought about the passage OF the
bill, said. The bill means donation
to siXnecn states and territories of all
the public lands therein for irrigation
Developments. 1t carries nearly SIX
millions with which to begin the work
Of reclamation. The immediate success
Of the system Of development cOntem-
plated depends largely upon the ad-
mini5tratiOn OF the law. | believe it
will be mistake to confine the first
undertakings to large enterprises par
ticularly to those which present seri-
Gus engineering or other difficulties.
II will be better to begin with smaller
ones so that the policy of actually re-
claiming land can be demonstrated
in brief time. 1t behooveS the peO-
pie Of each state and territory to en-
deavOr to perfect laws relative to the
appropriation, use and distribution of

THE rations for the Apache Indians
at San Carlos and Fort Apache are to
be discontinued after the first of next
month, and there Is diversity OF
opinion as to what the Indians are
going TO do about it." Many apprc-
bend an Indian out break, while others
seem to think that the bucks will
quietly allow their women and chill
dren to starve TO death, but the Indian,
especially the Apache, is not built that
way. Since the Geronimo raid the
Apaches have behaved themselves very
decentiy. and in many respects have
made rapid advances in civilization.
But they are human beings, and should
be fed by the government or provided
with employment. The government
has made most serious blunder in
this matter, which may terminate in
an outbreak which will cost it many
hundreds of thousands of dollars, and
the lives of many good citizens. The
ERA is not OF the sensational class Of
newspapers, but il is we'll satisfied that
if the Indians are not fed there will be
trouble of a serious nature.

SOME MORE CONSISTENCY,

The Bulletin, OF June 1Ith, contains
the following, which for consistency
are gems OF the first water.

date for congress in Arizona, openly
snd avowed, that i Col. j. F. Wilson.

present sojourning in Los Angeles, i

Smith viii not be candidate for re-
nomination 10 Congress j. taken in
good faith in the old pueblo, and al
ready candidates are cropping up, and
their relative merits are being dis
cussed,"
'.If Mr.. Smith really does not desire
to return TO congress he will not be
content in making that fact known by
saying Il am not a candidate and will
do nothing to secure the nomination"
but will give his reasons why he is not
a candidate
The Bulletin knows, or ought to
know, thai Arizona will soon be ad-
mitted a. a state, and that Mark Smith
will no doubt be one OF her first SEN
atOrs.
The Bulletin Is like unto a fiddle

Obituary.

Emory D. Evans was born at
Van Camp, Wetzel county, Nov.
~, 1874 and departed this life july
2eth, aged Fl years, 8 months and
II days.
His death was the result Of a
hemorrhage of the lungs and very
unexpected. For two years he had
been a patient suff=rer and bore
his Fiction uncomplainingly.
Emory was the oldest of & family
of nine children, all of whom are
living except Edgar, the third boy,
who proceeded him to the Heaven
| y land some three months ago.
We all loved him so much and he
will be missed In the home because
of his holy life, yet the Lord saw
fit to take him from us. and we
humbly say, THE Lord give b and
the Lord taketh away, blessed be
the name of the Lord.
Emory was raised on the farm,
attending school In the winter and
working in the summer.
At the age of twenty-one he en-
gagged In the teaching profession
and followed the same for two
years. In the spring of 1897, he
entered the West Virginia Con-
ference Seminary and remained
there until the fall of 1899, when
his health gave away which com.
PEELED him to give up his school
work.
The remainder of his life was
spent at home, except few months
that were spent In the ministry at
South Charleston, W. Va.
He was a member of the NJ. E.
church and was always alive to the
interests of the Masters Kingdom.
Our loss Is his eternal gain. He
was laid to rest In the cemetery at
VapCamp July 80, 1902.
There Is no death the stars 60
down
To rise upon some fairer shore:
And bright In Heavens jeweled
crown
They shine forevermore.
There Is no death an angel form
Walks Ger the earth with silent
tread:
He bears our best loved ones away;
And then we call them dead.
Where'er he sees smile to bright,
Or heart too pure for faint or vice,
He bears it to that world of light,
To dwell In Paradise.
