last seventy-flve years there have been
bills for the building of dams and reser-
volrs, and efforts have been made to Sc.
cure their passage; but up to the present
time these bills have all died, and the
government has consistently refused to
appropriate the public revenues for this
purpose.
But the chief reason the bills have died
q fairly easy death has been the pre-
dominating influence in congress Of tho
sections of the country which were not
interested in irrigation. Naturally the
fertile Eastern and Middle Western
states had no desire to be taxed to build
works which would be of no local benefit
to them, and might bring into competition

was not until comparatively recent years
that the fertile watered lands of the
public domain were all taken up under

The railroads have begun reaching out
for more territory to exploit, and the
influence in congress of the senators and

The Gentleman ln Newspaper Work.

The Western Publisher, commenting on the passing of that brand of news paper writers who insist on making 6 vulgar show of themselves by inllict. ing their personal quarrelS and grieS. ances upon the public, says:
 "There was a time when to be an ed itor and q gentleman was an exceed ingly remarkable combination. Phy- Sicians can recall, also, the time when the old-style surgeon was rough, whisky-sOaked, blOOd-cOyered terror, who held his knife in his teeth and didn't know an antseptic from 8 fur niture varniSh. He has faded on the landscape, this old time buffer, and in his stead is the gentleman of unOs- tentatiOus mein.
 The same situation is evolving in the newspaper business. The abusive, vulgar, sJentorian wlnd-bag, the quar- rslsome, degrading, hlJh-producing ed itor is passing with the changing of the years.
 Broad aud liberal is the successful newspaper man of today, one who is above petty snarling and has greater purpose than conducting disgraceful quarrel in the public print"

Speculating by Mail.

A correspondent of q financial jour nal maintains that never before in the history of this country has there been such widespread canvasslng carried on to eolist the general public in specula- tive undertakings. He says that, mak- ing an estimate of what it has cost to print and circulate through the mails the various highly promising oppOrtu- mites to invest money that are now sent out in such wholesale profusion, this is now involving an Outgo of not less than $l,0OO,000 a week. The mail ing list companies in the large cities have secured the names of about every man and woman possessed of little property, and are selling these lists by the thousands tO promoters, who are deluging tue mails with proSpectuSeS to tempt people to invest. These ven lures represent opportunities to sub from nickels to dollars, and the fact that proSpectuseS are sent out in this wholesale manner to such an enor- nous number of people, and at such a large aggregate expense, indicates that a good many persons have been or are being induced to risk their money in this manner, for it is evident that this system of mail cauyassing would not go on unless those engaged in it found d financial return in COptnuing their efforts. IL need hardly be sad that those who make investments under such conditions run an exceedingly great risk of losing their money. Whether the investments are in gold, silver, copper, Iron, zinc, tin or coal mines, tine undertaking, provided it had in it a fraction of the promise that the prospectus indicates, would be readily sought for by large capital ,ts, having expert knowledge of buSi. ness, aud would not need to be hawked about the country for the purpose of obtaining subscription by mail.-BoS- ton Herald.

CHAC0N TO HANG
Friday November 2l, Has Been Fixed ss the
 Date of His Execution.

On Thursday last, in the district court, Augustin Chacon, who was sen fenced tO be hanged in this county on June 10, 1897, but escaped jail on June 9 previous, was up to have the time set for his execution,
 The court roc m was crowded with spectators, and Joseph Campbell ap- peared for Chacon and raised the point chat as the statute under which Cha con had been convicted was repealed in March, 1897, without any saving clause, tho court could take nD action to punish ChacOn under the repealed statute, or any law rOw in existence. After lengthy argument made by Mir. for the prisoner, the court fixed the day when Chaaon should be hanged, in pursuance of the former judgment of the court on November 2l, next.
 ChacOn is condemned for the murder of Pablo SalcidO, prominent citizen of Morenci, on Christmas day, 1895. He was tried and convicted of murder in the first degree and the death pen altY was put upon bim.
 The case was appealed to the su- premenU court and after hearing there the judgment of the lower court was affirmed At the spring term of the district court in 1897 Judge Rouse reSentenCed ChacOn to be hanged on June l9, which was not cone, for the reason chat when the day arrived Cha con was not there, having dug out of the jail ten days previous.
 Attorney Campbell gave notice Of appeal, but Attorney Wiley E. Jones aud T. $. Bunch, both special counselS for the territory, in the case, will re sSt the appeal and predict that Cha con will hang on November 2l, unless the governor of the territory should come to bis relief. Bulletin.

Grading Begun for the Road to Connect Phoe-

The work was begun shortly after noon yesterday October l6) just east of the stock yards at the termination of the s. F., P. x P. track. There was no ceremony, no pitching of dirt by the mayor, or other spectacular dem onStration. The teams and the driy- CTS and the big blows just went to the appointed place and began turning over the soil in the most practicable manner possible.
 The first section of perhaps mile will be graded at this end while the employees are comfortably located in town. A jump of some distance will then be made and camp established, from which the graders will work both ways. There will probably be two such camps between here and Tempe, and from them the whole grade can be made. Men and grading tools and stock are still coming in from the north and will arrive daily for some time till as large force as can be eco nomically used is engaged ID the work.

81 would like to see wheat come
to the 81 mark, as it would have the
same effect on business as it did
during Joe Letters short corner.
Many were the mortgages that were
paid off during that short period of
prosperity in the state of Washing
ington, and every man who worked
there for living will remember
those short months as the harvest"
of lifetime.
mot only were the farmers and
laborers benefited, but every class
of business received it's share.
st realize that under the present
conditions our farmers are scarcely
able to put away a dollar after pay
ing expenses, he is unable to declare
a dividend even in his family, say
nothing of purchasing piano for
Maud, or sending Clara to college; he
is denied all this because of con-
scienceless trust. There is not a
workingman who would not willingly
pay an advance of % cents per hum
dred weight on the flour he consumes
if the wheat brought one dollar per
bushel; for the benefits would be
legion, and divided properly. Each
one interested in that bushel of wheat
would get his share.
There is no reason under the sun
why such a proposition as you con-
template should not succeed, as has
been conclusively shown in other 10
calities, and the workingmen stand
ready to give their patronage and
support, moral and financial.
Stand together like men, allow no
influence to turn you from your pur-
pose, and when organized and doing
business, allow no smooth represent
alive of some trust to induce you to
sell.
This matter was to have been
brought before the Federal Labor
Union on Thursday evening, but ow'
ing to pressing matters was crowded
out. However, it is the request OF
many members that I write you, offer
ing our aid and support, and, con
sidering a membership of nearly one
thousand, there will be assured tC
you a fright bower of considerable
strength.
Experience has no doubt taught
the farmers severe lesson, and
there is every reason to believe thai
it will prove a lasting one.

my associates, extend the hand Of

vided support.
