The Self-Co asti9uge:i /. zardian of the
 South9rn paciiic Railroad


 One of the strangest characters in the southwest, or for that matter in any part of the country, is Arizona Charlie, as the train-men cali him, who imagines that he is in the employ of the Souths ern Pacific company as track walker. For five years now this queer guardian of the rails has tfamped back and forth over the long stretch of desert between El Paso and IHdio, drd the highest sals aried officer or the most alued employe of the Southern Pacific system could not possibly show more concern for the safety of it's trains and passengers than does Arizona Charlie. He walks every step of the six hundred miles, and not a foot of track but he notes carefully, and it is said his vigilance has avetted numerous accidents woere wrecks might have occurred OH account of broken rail or wash-outs. Though not employed by the company he thorough ly believes that he is, and his hallucin- ation is further encouraged by remit tance of moRey which is paid to him at each end of his 'ditision.' Who pro- vides this money is not certainly kpowp but it :s supposed to be sent by weal- thy brother living in San Francisco. He is frequently seen by the traiumen, " hO all have cheery word for the old man he is past sixty and often try to prevail upon him to ride. He always refuses, saying that by doing so t bad piece of track might be overlooked, and if an accident occurred the com pany would blame him for it. He always carries his blankets, tin can, some ground coffee and other food, be- sides canteen of water. Sometimes he necessarily passes close to hobo camp, and the "bo's" hold him up for his supplies, and then he fares badly until he can reach section house, where there is always welcome and d fresh supply of food and water for the OIu IIdll, I1O l1ohS bSCG IA[N lOCO OO put up for the night in section houses, but has always refused. He has not slept in house for over five years. A few days ago the crew of d freight train, when nearing Maricopa, saw gang of hOboes in the act of robbing Arizona Charley of his supplies. It happened that the train had to be stopped for d few minutes on account of a hot box and the brakemen chased the hoboes away and restored the old mans grub to hin.
 What this strange mans name is, OF who his connections gre has never been learned. He dresses poorly, looks like the average tramp, but through bhe glamour of his wierd, unnatural inag-' faatiOn. there is the shadow of past when the mental vision was unimpaired and the few words he passes are not of the ignorant or vicious. He is harm less and his employment serves to fur nish the means of his enjoyment. which seems to be a desire to do good. Whether he acconplishes anything is not to be considered His motives are unseifsh at any rate. and to be faibhfnl to his supposed employers is his con- stant watchwOrd.
 The last seen of Arizona Charley was only d few days ago. at Mohawk Sum- mit As he only travels eight or nine miles day he is due in Yuma in abo ut tbpaa Gayc

By George II. r1axweII.

] "Put yourself in his place, must be the keynote of all future irrigation de- velcpment:
 Put yourself in the place of the irri- gator! He is the foundation stone on which the whole structure must rest.
 If he is prosperous and contented the structure will endure; otherwise it is a house built upon the sands.
 Any plans for irrigation development which are not controlled by this prin- ciple as primary purpose will fail. They will only sink us deeper into the quicksands of disaster into which so many irrigation schemes have hope lessly mired down.
 We are talking much now of the marvellous wealth that the touch of water would create from the deserts.
 We see in our minds eye the teeming population that our vast areas of fer tile lands would sustain if made pro ductive by irrigation.
 We picture the great prosperity that would result to all classes and all busi- ness and property interests if cur now arid valleys and plains and foothill slopes were peopled with such multi tude
 But how are we to get them there?
 Again I say, by adopting as the mot to Of our whole irrigation movement those words so potent with meaning: "Put yourself in his place:'
 Go to the home of the irrigator who is now here, sit by his fireside, eat with him at his table, walk with him beside the ditch. and watch him turn into his fields the stream Of water that is the cnly thing that ssands between him and desolaeion.
 Learn from him the trials and tribu- lations that he has endured to secure his right to that litsle stream of water. and the difficulties that beset him now to maintain it.
 Never let the thought go out of your mind that it is slender thread-that little stream of water. Watch it as it slowly seeks it's way along the thirsty furrow, or spreads out over the parche6 field.
 But slender though the thread may be. if is ali that stands between that irrigator and hopeless ruin, With it he has home, prosperity and happiness: without it, failure and destraction are inevitable. One single season without water may undo the work of a lifetime of industry.

assured .lppiy Of water :n ,sbnndsace. Then remem bey that the right cf the irrigacvr to his share of that water must be guaranteed to him under some other method of distribution than a shotgun or a sheriff's writ.
 
 We have before us in planning for the future, the experience of many states, and many countries, and many ages.
 These experiences have developed great underlying fundamental princi- pies which cannot be disregarded in building irrigation institutions.
 Among these principles are:
 The ownership of the land and water must be united, and the hand that tills the soil must own not only the land, but the water, without which it is worthless. * Irrigation and intensive farming must go hand in hand. Beneficial use must be the basis of every right to water for irrigation, and must be the measure and the limit of the right. Water must never under any circumstances be owned. or bought or sold as a speculative commodity.
 
 Let us, tben, follow the light of these principles which have been evolved from the experiences of all the past, and take them as our certain guide for the future.

 If any reader bhinks so much shaking up is unnecessaPy let, him go first for a picture of an irrigated Paradise to Corina, oh the southern slope of the San Gabriel Mountains, and see what irrigation development under sound 1 principles will accomplish see the splendid orchards, the beautiful homes powered. ia flowers, the evidences of thrift and prosperity on every hand that tell what irrigation will do where it is based on honesty and truth ia lay ing the foundations, and where the landowners own the water.
