RECLAInING ALKALI LANDS
Experiment To Be Made in This VaI-
 ley By Agricultural Department.

One of the greatest bugbears, not on- ly in this valley, but in all the south west, is the prevalence of alkall on lands that would otherwise be unex- celled for agricultural purposes. The unfortunate facts in the ease, embar- rassing as they may in themselves be, have been magnif1ed a hundred fold in various ways, but largely through the fiction of the day, fer no story writer would ever think of referring to the deserts of the arid west without using the adjective "alkali." There is some thing about the word that suggests death and desolation and makes it n favorite with the romancer.
 The fact is that there is no con- sidera ble desert area that does not have its alkali patches, though they by no means predominate in all des- erts. In this valley. for instance, there is considerable land that cannot be till ed by reason of the alkali and some additional lands that are hurt to some extent by it. But compared to the good i lands in the area now reclaimed, the alkali portions are very small. And | there are yet hundreds of thousands of acres in this part of Arizona, unin- Jured by alkali. and only waiting for | irriga ton.
 Nevertheless. the small patches that occur here and there in the midst of good lands are a nuisance and of but | little value to the owners. The fact that the government, through the ag- rienltural department, has inaugurated q campaign against all1ali will there fore be read with interest. It is the pur- pose of the department by actual ! Snia o,H vi ment to devise methods for the re- clamation Of alkali lands, and what is of special interest to residents of this valley. Is the fact that expert ments are to be inaugurated here at Q very early day. Much study has been given to the subject by the scientists of the department and their theories are now to be put to an actual test. They have contended that while the problem was vexing 1t was no more un- surmCunta ble than many that have been met and solved when the proper time came. Now that desert lands ca pablo of easy reclamation are rapidly coming into demand the time is ripc for giving alkali special attention.
 MT. Arthur P. Davis of the reClama- ton service tlas received letter from
 Mir. Milton Whitney. Chirt of the bu- reau Of sells of the agricultural de. partment in which he states that he
 has decided to make an extensive ex- pertinent in this valley to demonstrate tt
 the fact that alkali lands may be re-
 claimed by a proper system of drain,
 age which will prove for them botf
 feasible and business proposition. H,
 says that Mr. Thomas Means of thu
 bureau of soils will be here about tn, Fifteenth of December to locate the ex
 pertinent station and prepare for tn. inauguration of the work. He want! to secure twenty-acre tract of aIkal land for the experiment and request
 Mir. Davis to recommend to him. CT ad
 wise him respecting. proper location l for the experiment, knowing that Nh , Davis is interested deeply in any plal
 looking to land reclamation.

A BIT OF ADVICE TO DAUGHTERS
The Kisses She Owes Her Mother With
 "Compound Interest"

A father, talking to his careless daughter, said: "I want to speak to you of your mother. It may be that you have noticed a careworn lcok up- on her face lately. Of course. 1t has not been brought there by any action of yours, still it is TOUT duty to chase it away. I want you to get up tOmor- row morning and get the breakfast and when your mother comes and be- gins to express her surprise, go right up to her and kiss her. You can't imagine how it will brighten her dear face. Besides, you owe her a kiss or two. Away back, when you were a little girl. she kissed you when no one else was tempted by your fever tainted breath and swollen face. You were not as attractive then as you are now And through those years of childish sunshine and shadow she was always ready to cure, by the magic of a mothers kiss, the little, dirty, chubby hands whenever they were injured in those first skirmishes with the rough world.
 And then the midnight kiss with which she routed so many bad dreams, as she leaned over your restless pillow, have all been on interest these long. long years. Of course she is not so pretty and kissable as you are, but if you had done your share of work dur ing the last ten years the contrast would have been so marked. Her face has more wrinkles than yours, far more, and yet if you were sick that face would appear more beautiful than an angels as it lowered over you watching every opportunity to minis ter to your comfort, and every one of these wrinkles would seem to be bright wavelets of sunshine chasing each other over the dear face.
 "She will leave you one of these days These burdens, if not lifted from heI shoulders, will break her down. Those rough, hard hands that have done sc many necessary things for you, will be crossed upon her lifeless breast Those neglected lips that gave you i your first baby kiss will be forever closed, an6S those sad, tired eyes will
 have opened in eternity, and then you
 will appreciate your mother; but it vii | be too late"

TIE CASE OF SENATOR SHOOT

Boston Herald: Senator Reed Shoot os Utah, will probably get justice from his colleagues in the senate, who are not likely to give way to mysteries from the outside.
 Savannah News: The women in pret-
 ty nearly all parts of the country are
 against MT. Shoot. They are the chief
 movers in the effort to keep him out of the senate. Mormonism is very cf- | fensive to them.
 Pittsburg Dispatch: While Senator Hoar may be wrong in claiming that
 the senate must bear itself behind the etiquette of judicial procedure, he is right to the extent that the inquiry is one to be made with judicial care. and that clear evidence will be needed be-
 fore a United States senator can be deprived of his seat
 | Nashville Banner: The senate must decide upon the merits of the case, whether MT. Smoot is entitled to a seat
 and should not be swerved from a logi- | cal and just course by a flood of pe- titiCns that have been, for the most part, signed ol sentimental grounds
 rather than on an investigation of all
 the circumstances in the case.
 | Hartford Pest: The Shoot case
 should be tried on its merits The case will be one of the most interesting
 matters before the senate at the regu- l lar session. The fact that MT. Smoot | is a member of the Mormon church IS | of no significa unless he is polyg-
 amist and unless his oath to the
 church is contrary to his oath as a
 citizen and senator.
 l New York Sun: The main charge against MT. Shoot is that he has a
 plurality of wives. He denies the
 charge. Whether or not he is a theo-
 retical polygamist is, of course, no con-
 cern of congress, which shall make
 no law respecting the establishment of
 religion or prohibiting the free exer-
 else thereof" MT. Shoot has as much
 right to be a Mormon as he would have | to be a Baptist.
 l Cleveland Plain Dealer But it is as
 a legis: lative body, rather than as a
 high court" that the American peo-
 pie, including the anti-Smoot petition CTS, prefer and will continue to regard
 the senate. If they are mistaken, Senator Hoar's rebuke was we'll timed
 but the error is serious enough to call
 for correction in a more impressive | fashion and with less display of what seems to flavor of mere peevishness. ! Pittsburg Leader: The attack on Shoot is not so much a movement against the individual as it is against
 the Mormon church as a whole. It
 marks a deliberate renewal of the con- l test against Mormonism with a view
 to it's complete extirpation in the long run, and hence it assumes the highest 1 importance. It will be interesting to
 observe how the senate handles this
 awkward problem. There can at all
 events be no evasion.
 Chicago Inter-Ocean. Are the ma | jority of the people of Utah acting in politics first as Americans, or first as Mormons? Is their primary loyalty to | their church or to their country? Grave
 suspicion exists that they are Mormons
 first, and Americans only second. This
 is why the appearance of MT. Shoot in the senate causes uneasiness. The fail

FOR FIRE PROTECTION
Manager Heap of Water Works Sub.
 mits a New Plan.

There was a very important meet ing of the Citizens committee last evening at the Hotel Adams, called to consider the present phases of the situation in respect of the bond elee- tion shortly to be held in pursuance of the project to build municipal water system.
 Manager Heap of the Phoenix Water company. which is now making eX tensive improvements in the present plant met with the committee and was given the courtesy of the floor to make a statement of the company's intentions in the matter of carrying out its announced plans. He reiter- ated what he has previously said, that the company was not playing a bluff game but was honestly trying to per feet its system as fast as possible in line with the plans that have already heen published and generally discuss ed. Subsequently to a specially ap- pointed sub committee of seven he made proposition for general consid- eration.
 The city is now paying the Water company an annual rental of $70 each for fifty-nine fire hydrants. MT. Heap
 said that in view of the demand for better fire protection, especially in places that are now badly in need ol hydrants the company would agree to
 furnish to the city forty-one more | hydrants making total of one hundred in the city. For each. of the new | hydrants an annual charge of fifteen dollars would be made instead of $70
 making the total average cost of firt | hydrants, S47.45 each. In other words
 the hydrant facilities would be almost
 doubled for an added expense of a littlt
 over $500. The new hydrants of course
 are to be placed at the company's ex- pense and in any part of the city desig i mated by the city council.
Arizona republican., 1903-11-24

ure of Utah to dispel that suspicion is why Senator Shoot troubles the public mind and conscience.
 Pittsburg Post: It appears that a systematic fight will be made on Sena- tor Reed Shoot, the Mormon apostle, who is sitting in the upper house of congress as a representative of the state of Utah. No stone will be left unturned to expel him from that branch, and to. set forever a precedent that will bar forever the disciples of the Smith creed, and who practice polygamy, from becoming members of the law making branches of our gov ernment.
 Chicago Evening Pest: The question should, and doubtless will, be decided on the facts and the law applicable to them. Mere sentiment and prejudice, we are convinced, will not influence the action of the United States senate, the most conservative and deliberate legislative chamber in the world. As Senator Hoar pertinently and pointed ly observed for the benefit of the peti- tioners. Mir. Shoots rights must be de- termined in accordance with the con- stitution and the spirit of our laws. Cincinnati Commercial Tribune: It is ill manners to ask the senate to or ganize itself into a court under the presidency of Judge Lynch and deny Smoot the common privileges of an accused-privilege which would be eagerly demanded and insisted upon by any one of the protestors if charged with crime against the state, or against. the United tSates. If Reed Smoot be indecent and disorderly in his Mormonism, it does not dispense with the necessity on the part of the senate for proceeding against him decently and in order

A FRIEND OF THE SNAKES.

Harmless snakes have good friend in the person of H. C. Young, of the cus- tom house, who on Sunday gave to MT. Carson at the Zoo a garter snake 22 inches long. which he had rescued from a group of wanton boys, who wanted Ito kill it.
 For 35 yers Mir. Young has been in a quiet way doing all in his power to protect harmless reptiles. This one that I took to the Zoo, he said yester- day, 1T have handled and found as harmless as an unfiedged bird.

BETTER THAN A REVOLVER.

Every Broadway car was crowded to the aisles and platforms. Conductors and motormen seemed to think they had enough passengers on board. and the pretty girl who stood at the Du- ane street corner found her frantic sig nals unavailing. The cars sailed by with the motormen's eyes fixed stead fly ahead.
 Do you want a car. miss? asked a policeman with the proportions Of son of Anak.
 "Of course." came the almost fearful reply, but they won't stop"
 "We'll see about that" said the blue coated giant.
 He resumed his work of accelerating the traffic, but kept his eye on an ap- preaching car At a majestic wave of his hand the autocrat at the controller brought the car to a standstill, and the young woman got aboard.
 "Gracious!" she exclaimed as she wedged into the crowd. "I believe I'll ask for a permit to carry policeman next time I want to ride on Broad way r."-New York Press.

crushed out by persons too ignorant to inform themselves on the harmlessnesS of such snakes.
 ''If the birds that prey upon insects are destroyed vegetation will be over run with insects, and if the snakes are destroyed the smaller mammals will increase to an alarming degree. Many states take pains to protect birds, but none to protect the humanly harmless snakes. which are the natural enemy of the rodents, moles, etc, that are so de- structive. Nearly every boy is brought up with the idea that it is praise worthy thng to kill any kind of a snake, whereas. so fer as the harmless snakes are concerned. such a killing is not on- ly crime but a blunder. ."-Philadel- , phia Press.

Every Catarrh sufferer dreads t breath of the ice-king" this mise the disgusting symptoms return. throat can be kept clear of mucous and splitting. Catarrh is nuisance and source of annoyance, not only to the one who has it, but everybody else. The thick, yellow discharge from the head produces feeling of personal deflement, and the odor of the breath IS almost intolerable.
 The catarrhal poison brings on stomach troubles and affects the Kid neys and Bladder. It attacks the soft bones and tissues of the head and throat, causing total or partial deafness, the loss of smell, and giv- ing to the voice a rasping, nasal twang. No part of the body is secure from its ravages. Catarrh makes you sick all over, for it is a dis ease of the blood, and circulates all through the system, and for this reason, sprays, washes, inhalers, powders and salves have proven failures.
 The way to cure Catarrh thor oughly and permanently is to cleanse the blood of the unhealthy secretions that keep the membranes of the body inhamed, and nothing does this so surely and promptly as s. s. s.
