Mr.. Lindinger's Candidacy

The campaign of the Hon. FRITZ
LINnINGRR for nomination on the
Tammany ticket is marked by exceeding
frankness and openness. Mr. LINDINGER
wants a nomination. His friends want
him to have it. Therefore they have
put the matter on purely business
basis and have offered what they con-
slider fair sum to be used for the benefit
of the Democratic candidates throughout
the city to buy the nomination for the
office of Sheriff of New York county
for Mr.. MNDINGER. Their offer is in
these words:
I'VE, the committee chosen BY the various German
societies Of Manhattan and The Bronx, agree to
raise . sum amounting To $3.50. 900 more for tho
benefit Of the Democratic ticket Of the entire city.
providing FRITZ LINprNoER Is nom mated for Sheriff
Of the county Of New York on the Democratic
ticket"
This plain, business-like proposition
is submitted to Tammany Hall by a
committee modestly announcing that
1t represents every German American
society of Manhattan and The Bronx,
the membership Of which amounts to
10000 VOTERS and it is composed of
AUGUST H. ZIEGLER, HERMAN ScHALK,

the Spanish name of the fig.
 At La Higuera there is small five stamp mill in operation, and it has given good results, the ores worked plating about fifteen dol lars, gold, per ton; but it is the in- tention to erect much larger mill as soon as possible, and work the property upon an extensive scale. There is sufficient ore in sight for a large mill.
 It was about two o'clock Satur- day afternoon when 1 departed from La Higuera. My route fol- lowed down the canon to the San Miguel at the Elisos ranche, about a league below Cucurpe, and then on down the river to this place. At the point where 1 entered the river the broad valley at Cucurpe had disappeared, and the road was again winding down a narrow canon, precipitous walls of lime or conglomerate on either side; and this continued a distance of several leagues.
 One of the noticeable features was the way in which fringe of land had been wrested from the river for cultivation in places along the canon where it had widened a bit for a little way, or across points in the bends of the cafion and river. Willow posts ten or twelve feet long are stuck into the ground in long lines, at distances of about four feet. Woven among these posts is a solid brush wall, and in single season the posts take root, and become substantial will low trees. The brush barriers thus created confine the stream into narrow channel, and keep it straight. At time of high water the overflow percolates through the brush spreading over the space inside, and losing the rapid motion of the current, is stilled and precip- itates the silt carried in solution, in the course of time building up a bank of foam several feet higher than the bed of the stream. This ground is cultivated, and field after field was passed where the corn and beans were being harvested; while at several places new lines of will low posts were being set to pro- vide additional ground. At the functions of side eaiions were passed m l l pueblos named, San Rafael and San Jose. At San Javier, between two and three leagues above Tuape the road emerges from the canon, the ridge the river traverses breaking off into low hills, which recede some distance, leaving a broad valley with large fields and farms along the sides.
 About five o'clock I rode into Tuape, having ridden seven leagues inside of three hours, and went to the place of Mir James c. Chism, a a well known merchant who has been in business here nearly a quarter of a century. Doctor k. w. Alderman, another gentleman of many years experience in So- nora, resides also at Tuape; and with Mir. Chism and the doctor 1 am to-day visiting.
 MT. Chism conducts an exten- sive mercantile business at Tuape, has several large ranches along the river and interests in many more,

 station at Calera. Thence my road led down the Santo Domingo river to Cucurpe, just below its junction with the Dolores. their union making the San Miguel-a distance of about nine miles.
 Below Calera the canon of the river for several miles is one of the most beautiful and picturesque to be found anywhere. Great cliffs of slate, trachyte and porphyry rise abruptly to lofty heights on either side, cut down almost perpendi- cularly from the top to the bottom of the canon, anG eroded into mas sive and imposing shapes of forms. A few miles above Cucurpe the walls recede, and the formation changes to conglomerate, also chiseled by Nature into thousand attractive forms.
 As Cucurpe is approached and the Dolores comes in, the valley widens and many handsome fields, farms and orchards line the road.
 Cucurpe was reached in time for dinner, after which 1 rested a couple of hours, and looked about bit. It is town of about ,000 inhabitants, and is quite modern. Mir. David Fernandez, the oldest inhabitant, a merchant who. also keeps the hotel, informed me that when he settled there, now thirty four years ago, there was no one living anywhere in the vicinity, and the entire region was overrun with hostile Apaches. It was a dangerous vicinity. The bells hanging in front of the partly built church bear upon their rims the year 1872.
 Toward evening l started for the H:guera mine, some four miles away, on the west side of the river. This is the property recently mem tioned in THE OASIS as having been placed by the Brady-Levin Commission Company of Nogales and Tucson. MT. Peter R. Brady, of Florence, is superintendent. and Mir. Melville Erskine of Los Ange- les is assayer.
 About two hours before 1 reached La Higuera, at dark. Mir. Richard Brady, of Tucson, arrived there from Magdalena. accompanied by Mir. Richard Gird of Los Angeles, formerly of Tombstone, who is in- terested in the property. MT. R. c. Davis from Los Angeles, was with them.
 Mir. Gird is friend of the editor of many years standing, and it was a very pleasant meeting.
 Friday morning Mr. Peter R. Brady showed me over the Higuera group of mines, and outlined for me the work already done and that projected. In April 1893, MT. Brady showed me over the Vekol mine, south from Casa Grande, where he was then foreman; and he was one of the first subscribers to THE OASIS when it started in 1893.
 The Higuera group of mines are dntiguas, and were worked so far back that there is no accessible re- cord nor recollection of them. Upon the south end of the prop critics are extensive GntigUa work ings, the foundations of eighteen or twenty arrastrgs, and the vestiges of a score or more of buildings, which were no doubt occupied by

Department of Commerce.

We are soon to have another cab
met officer. Congress has passed a
bill establishing the department of
commerce and the President has
signed it. The chief officer will be
Secretary of Commerce and it is
understood that private Secretary
Cortelyou will be appointed to the
place. This will be most import
ant branch of the government from
the very start. Our commercial in
terests have grown so stupendous
and of such vast importance it is
eminently necessary that this de-
partment should be established.
Mr.. Cortelyou, who has been for
SO many years intimately connected
with the chief executive, is well
qualified for this position, and will
bring to bear on it his great powers
of labor and long years of expert
ence with public affairs.

of Free Trade President backed
up by a Free Trade majority in both
houses of Congress. The Free
Trade Tariff law cooked up by Will
son and German had not yet been
enacted, but it was known to be
coming, and its effects on all indus
try, all labor, all trade, all COM
merce, all business were already in
force. 1t was not the passage of the
Wilson G orman Tariff, but the an.
ticipation of it, that carried the
country into the most prolonged
and devastating period of paralysis
and ruin that it had ever experienced.
The diverse of the picture is now
presented, 1t shows 5000 Pullman
Company wage earners working
shorter hours and receiving as much
pay as they did for working longer
hours. 1t shows that these 5000
workers have come into their share

Have Come Into Their Share.

1t is announced from Chicago,
under date of February 1, that on
April I an increase of wages will be
paid by the Pullman Palace Car
Company to every man employed
in the works. Nearly 5000 men
are affected, and more than $40, 600
will be added to the company's pay
roll each month. One thousand ex-
ira men will be employed to do the
work performed in the ten-hour day
by the old force. Under the old
schedule the men worked sixty
hours a week. Under the new sys-
tenn they will work ifty-four hours
week and will have their Saturday
afternoons off.
Lacking only few weeks of nine
years ago the Pullman Palace Car
Company did precisely the opposite
thing. 1t put in force a sweeping
reduction in the pay of Its great
army of employees, and because
they refused to accept the lower
wages a great strike resulted which
cost the country vast amount of
money, and very nearly plunged
this republic into the abyss Of an
arcby. This wage reduction and
this strike followed a little more
than a year after the inauguration

intellectually and morally, and lay
the foundation for higher and NO.
bier lives.
Thousands of these bright young
people after year or two or four
or five years spent in this most ex-
cellent school of character building

state and impress their character
upon the minds of the growing gen
Grafton IN the various schools of the
state. Their influence for good and
towards building up brighter and
better citizenship cannot be esti-
mated, and the state surely gets paid
many times over for all il expends
for their beneft. In this institution
there is great lack of room. Many
classes of so and 60 and even more
are crowded into small rooms hardly
large enough to accommodate COM
fortably half the number. The in
stltution badly needs another wing
to the building and an addition of
six or eight thoroughly competent
instructors. AS it is, the faculty of
this institution is over worked and
under paid. They are noble set
of men and women capable of earn
ing and receiving better salaries than
they now get and with lighter work.
The maintenance fund of this in
stitution should be not less than
SIS, 900 per annum instead OF forty
TO fifty thousand. This amount
would enable the board to employ
much needed assistance and to pay
salaries commensurate with the work
done and talent employed, and
broaden and extend the usefulness
of the institution.
The Agricultural College at Man
haitian seems to be in pressing
need of additional buildings and of
larger maintenance fund that they
may be able to hold their best in
structors and not see them taken
away from them by more generously
endowed institutions of other states.
The Agricultural College SHOULD
have very prominent place in the
educational interests Of the state.
Kansas is an agricultural state and
large per cent of her people are
engaged in that work and it becomes
very necessary for an institution of
this kind, especially when our var
led soils and climatic conditions are

considered and we bear in mind the
innumerable pests and adverse con-
ditions with which our great agricul-
turists have to contend. This is an
institution where solid foundation
for collegiate education can be
laid and where the mechanical arts
are taught and should have all the
facilities with which the state can
cndow it.
Then the University must not be
forgotten. This institution should
be the crowning glory of this great
state that boasts of its learning and
intelligence. The University should
be fully equipped in all its branches
to give our young men and young
women, not onl y general and lit
erary education, but a full technical
training in any line they may select.
There should be no necessity or call
for our brightest young people to
leave the state for any institution
within the scope of university.
To properly prepare each of these
institutions for the work it should
do, requ res vast amount of
money and world of care and
patient thought. The work of build
ing up and fully developing institu
tions like these cannot be done in a
year or decade. 1t takes patient.

Grafton. The state has done we'll,
all things considered, yet it has only
begun. The great need Of these in
stitutons is definite, certain an
nual income, independent of the
action of the legislature. This legis-
lature should prepare for the levy
ing Of state tax each year for each
of these institutions that will be suffi-
cient to meet all necessary demands.
II it needs a constitutional amend
ment, submit it to the people and it
will be voted. 1t is annoying and
humiliating for the heads of these
institutions to be called on each
session of the legislature to go to
Topeka and lobby for the appropri-
ations necessary to their existence,
and never know till the legislature
adjourns what they can depend up
on for the following years. Definite
ness and certainty is what is demand
ed.
In the meantime, until this can
be accomplished, We hope to see
our present legislature make liberal
and ample appropriations for these
institutions, Times are good and
everybody feels generous and liber-
al towards all educational matters.
The people will endorse ample ap-
propriations and we hope the man.
ayers of these institutions will not
allow their modesty to prevent their
making their wants known, and we
have the fullest confidence that all
reasonable demands will be met for
the glory and honor of the great
state of Kansas.
The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1903-02-20

The biennial session of the Kan
sas legislature determines for the fol-
lowing two years, to great extent,
the effectiveness of our great educa-
tional institutions. The legislators
have it In their hands to make am.
pie appropriations for the mainte-
nance of these grand institutions,
and for providing them with suitable
buildings and appliances, or by a
spirit of parsimony to cripple them
in their work and greatly hamper
their usefulness. 1t seems in this
age of progresslveness and enlighten-
ment unnecessary to discuss the
proposition of the state to provide
ample educational facilities for its
sons and daughters.
Other and older states are making
these provisions and providing their
institutions with ample funds and
the results are that great institutions
with national reputation are grow
ing up in their borders. and our sons
and daughters by the hundreds, each
year are seeking facilities in other
states that our own state does not
furnish. 1t is estimated that about
$500, 900 is paid out yearly by these
students who go to other states to
finish their education. There are
at present five or six young students
from this town seeking education
from other states because our own
does not seem to furnish facilities
that Others do. This should not be.
We realize that we are compare
lively young state and have not yet
had the time to develop our instltu-
tions as have older states. Yet, we
Nigh, build better than we some
times do. We have three lnstltu-
tions of learning in the state OF
which every Kansan is or should be
proud. Each is doing great work
in its line and each is very much
handicapped in its work by want of
room and proper facilities.
We can speak more intelligently OF
the State Normal school because
during our short service as mem
Der Of the board Of that institution
we became somewhat familiar with
its workings and noted some OF its
necessities. That institution reach
es almost as many of the young peo-
pie of the state directly and thous-
ands indirectly, as both the other
institutions. The boys and girls OF
the state gather there by the thous-
ands each year, hundreds of them
