Salt River Valley Drenched.

Hundreds of thousands of dol lars were made or saved to the cattle men of this valley and the adjacent ranges by the rains of Saturday and Sunday nights. The farmers also began to de- rive some benefit as early as Sunday morning, for the even- ing before the water at the head was divided on basis of 6,O0O inches. There was another rise of 4,000 inches yesterday. There was reason to believe that it was raining on Sunday afternoon in the mountains east of the valley. The last word received at the canal office on Sunday night from the dam was that there was a good rain there then, but soon alter communication was cut or, and it was thought the line had been blown down by the storm.
 There was a heavy rain as far east as Gold Field, and all through the country this side almost to Mesa. The Highland canal was filled to overfowing with water, which had run into it from the desert, so that that country, which has not known water for months, is now we'll provided for The greatest good will come to the cattle ranges

Two irrigations a month will be beneficial in po- rous soils, and one irrigation per month should be given in most other soils.

Water to the depth of two feet may be applied to ad- vantage in most soils during this period.
 When the blossoms begin to open, water should be withheld until the young fruit is about the size of peas. One or two thorough summer irrigations will be ample to produce a good crop. No water need be applied from August to January. The total amount needed during the year is not over three feet.

.F|L|P|NOS NOT FIT FOR JURYMEN.
DIFFICULT TO SECURE JUDGES.
Governor Taft Says They Cannot
Judge lmpartially Where Two
Persons arc Involved.

Gov. Taft, continuing his testimony
Friday before the Senate Committee
on the Philippines, at washington
said that the code of laws for the
Islands includes the treason act. There
was no provision for n jury, as 30 per
cont. of the people are too ignorant
to sit on a jury. And am bound to
add" he went on, that the difficulty
of selecting judges who are above
reproach makes It certain that the
selection of jurles would lead to moth.
Ing but corruption and injustice. We
are trying to lead up to the jury sys.
TEN, but the Filipino mind is such as
to render the average Filipino inca.
pable of looking impartially upon a
question involving the rights of two
persons" Gov. Taft said that in the
arrest and Imprisonment of Filipinos
who had been In insurrection but who
had surrendered, there had been some
trenching upon the civil authorities
by the military forces. In reply to a
question whether there Is any part OF
the archipelago the control of which
could be trusted to native troops. the
witness replied that he did not think
II would be advisable. II should not
like to have the responsibility of rec.
ommending such course he said. I'm
a country so recently In insurrectlon
to put 1000 rifles in the hands of l..
900 natives would not be wise. The
presence of a native regiment under
the control of native officers. in my
opinion. would give rise to importu
mites to the commander to lead the
tribes into ladronism or insurrection
| have not the slightest doubt tina,
with American officers the native
troops would be entirely loyal" That
the people in some provinces did not
sympathize with the insurrection, Gov
Taft would not attempt to say.
