The late legislature ordered an inves.
tigation of the affairs, generally, of the
State Normal School and committee
was appointed to make the investiga-
ton. This committee has undertaken
the work and has struck a snag; the
Normal School authorities refuse to &C.
knowledge the right of the legislative
committee to summon or punish them,
or to investigate. Of course, if the Of
fcers refuse to obey the summons there
would be no witnesses, hence could be
no investigation. There will, however,
almost certainly be an appeal to the
courts and their decision may clothe
the committee with ample authority to
fully carry out the wishes Of the legis-
lature.

Virulent Cancer Cured.

Startling proof of wonderful adj
vance in medicine is given by druggist
G. w. Roberts of Elizabeth, VIVA. An
old man there had long suffered with
what good doctors pronounced incura-
BILE cancer. They believed his case
hopeless till he used Electric Bitters
and applied Buck'en's Arnica Salve,
which treatment completely cured him.
When Electric Bitters are used to expel
bilious, kidney and microbe poisons at
the same time this salve exerts it's
matchless healing power, blood diseases,
skin eruptions, ulcers and sores vanish.

If Mr.. Roosevelt attempts to effect by
means of treaty, which will require
only the ratification Of the Senate, what
the two houses refused to grant, there
will result bitter protest from mem
bere of the House of Representatives
who declare that the Senate has no pow
er to modify the tariff by means of
treaty. Under the constitution all rev.
enue measures must be initiated by the
House, and on that ground the mem
bers claim that the revenue duties can
not be modified by the executive and
the upper chamber to the exclusion of
the House. "Such precedent said
prominent republican member to me
recently. "would mean that, were the
executive and the Senate to prove false
to their trust, they could, without the
House being in position to prevent it,
50 modify the tariff as to reduce the
revenue of the country by one-half to
the infinite benefit Of. say, Great Brit
ain. That 1t was the intention OF the
trainers of the constitution to prevsnt
such possibility and provide that i'm
portant laws must be the product Of the
three law making powers, the Senate,
the House and the Executive, no intel
ligent American can deny. In the in
stance cite, the three powers making
the law would be the Executive, the
Senate and Great Britain the latter
taking the place Of the House as the
third party to the contract.

induce their representatives to ratify q
treaty which, in the meantime. he will
probably negotiate, granting reciproci-
ty to the new republic. There are ru-
mors to the effect that the Preoident
will call special session Of the Senate
to ratify such treaty before next De-
cember, possibly Immediately sfter the
adjournment of Congreas but I have
succeeded in obtaining no confirmation
of the stories and doubt that special
session will be called, at least until af-
the the fall elections.

Following the receipt of the message
of the President. in which he 80 strong
ly advocated Cuban reciprocity, the re-
publican members of the Senate have
held two conferences in an effort to a.
gree upon some measure of relief to Gu

been productive of results and now all
hope of reciprocal tariff concessions to
Cuba at this session of Congress have
been abandoned by all but few en-
thusiasts. Mr.. Roosevelt asserts that,

honor of the nation is at stake, he will
not abandon the fight. He expects to
make an expensive tour Of the country

Mr. Davis said the water shed above that which contributed to the big Phoe- nix flood and he thinks tCo that that has been over est stimated.
 The great drawback in construction of most reservoirs, and it was once feared would be the ease with this, is the cost Of cement. It would require 200O00 barrels of it and to ship it in would cost $9 per barrel or Sl 800, 900 for ce- nent alone. But a search for the ma terials of which it is made showed the finest quality of lime in inestimable quantity 1900 feet from the dam site with the finest clay a little over two miles from there. MT. Davis estimates therefore that. the best cement in the world can be made right there and the total cost of a plant and making the necessary amount O; cement will not be over half million dollars.
 The reservoir when built will have a capacity of about 1,S3OOOO feet. and the water power to be developed will no doubt eventually cause the raising of much more water that may be used in irrigation.
 There Is no doubt that Mir. Davis lecture was greatly enjoyed for he was Frequently applauded, and there is also no doubt that hundreds of people have much better idea of water storage in this valley today than they ever had before and will more readily nartici- pate in the efforts now being made to secure the building of the big Tonto dam.
