ECHO FROM DEWEY's LETTER.

We publish elsewhere the action of the
directors of the Merchants and Farmers
Bank, of New Bern, withdrawing the re-
ward they formally made some weeks ago
for the apprehension of Cashier Dewey
The reasons they give for the withdrawal
would indicate that they expect Cashier
Dewey soon to return and meet the
charges against him. They would hardly
have withdrawn the offer of the reward
unless they believed he would return or
were in communication with him.

A MORNING TONIC.
(Spurgeon.)

(SpUTBtOHJ
The morning is the gate of the day,
and should be guarded with prayer. 1t
is one of the threads on which the days
actions are strung, and should be well
knotted with devotion. 1t we felt more
the majesty OF life, we should be more
careful of its mornings. He who rushes
from his bed to his bushes, and waiteth
not to worship, is foolish, as though he
had not put on his clothes or cleansed his
face. and as uLwise as though he dashed
into battle without arms or armor. Be
it ours to battle in the softly flowing

heat of the wilderness and the burden of

Tho Denver Grand Jury.

The grand jury called to investigate
the affairs Of the city OF Denver and

task of huge proportions

trades which have taken place in that
city during the last few years are
sufficient, if disclosed, to send scores

whether or not the jury, with difh.
culty Of securing proper evidence.
will be able to fasten the crime upon
the proper men is matter of some
doubt. They are all held together
by the cohesive power Of public
plunder. -
Some of the Officials to be investi-
gated have already left the state and
part of the task OF the jury will be
TO determine whether or not those
who ARE left were implicated in any
way.
Beyond question there have been
many transactions that have been cor
rupt, in franchise grabbing, in pr int
ing and other supplies, in rebates, in
non enforcement of the law. What
Denver needs is a thorough house
cleaning.
Judge Carpenter is determined
that the work shall be done thorough
ly and he will leave no stone unturned
to get at the bottom of the whole
matter. Let us hope that his efforts
and those of the district attorney will
result in a complete exposure aud in
dictment of corrupt officials in order
that Denver. with it's new character
and new officials, may start again on
a career Of decepcy and honesty in

Notice of Water Appropriations
 Filed by the Government.

San Diego, Aug. 27.-An im- portant step was taken this after noon by the United States goy- ernment in the advancement of it's great irrigation project in the southwest. A notice Of apprO- priatiOn of water in the Cobra do river was filed with the cOup- ty recorder by Edward T. Per kins for the secretary of the in teriOr, appropriaJng 1000, QUO miners inches of water 22 miles north of Yuma at CocOpah point. Under this notice this notice the government claims unapprOpri- ated water of the Colorado river, both surface flow and underHOWz to the extent named.
 The location is described as being on the bank of the Cobra do river about 221 miles above Yuma, Arizona, and Is ill or near section I. township 15, south, range i east, 5. B. M. The gov ernment claims the water for ir- rigation, manufacturing purposes, water power, domestic use and other uses, the terminus and place of intended use is at Yuma valley and t6 the Mexican bOun- dary line and along the line of the proposed conduit.
 The water will be restrained by means of d dam, and will be conveyed through canals, tun- nelS, fumes, wooden, iron, steel and cement pipes to the places of intended use. The size of the canal is to be 63 feet wide on the bottom, 75 feet wide on the top, 10 feet deep on grade of 30 feet to the mile, or of such di- mensions as will give it an equiv alent capacity, The reservoir will be located on the river and will take in strips of land from river elevation of 150 feet above mean sea leHel at or near Coco pah Point to point 250 feet above mean sea level elevations, as established and marked by the United States geological survey,

Phoenix

| nOGbl&.
 About the hrst of September, says MT. Baniol, an engineers force will be put on between Phoenix and Yuma and construc- tion will be under way within six months.
 1t was about six weeks ago that l got this information, said Mir. Daniel and 1 know it is right, because a personal friend of mine on the road who has been offered a position as super intendent of construction asked me to join him in that work.
 ''There is no mistake about the Rock Island being interested in the El Paso and Southwest ern?" was asked.
 Not the least. That is made clear by the fact that all traffic from the Rock IsIand that can be delivered by the Fl Paso and Southwestern is sent over that line instead of over the Southern Pacific. San Diegan-Sun.

It now transpires that the ] tax raises made by the supervi- sors, which were almost revOlu-
 iona!r. and were the occasion of muoa favorable cooWentfcon every source except that 5f th" heavy property owners, are in
 validated. The fault is laid at the door of the Arizona Sentinel, which paper had the publica tiOn of the raises. and either stupidly or willfully executed the work in an incomplete manner.
 The above appeared as Yuma correspondence of the Phoenix Enterprise of August T, and Is simply a pueriIe effort to shift the responsibility for an ineXcus- able blunder from the clerk $ office to the Sentinel.
 So far as the above refers to the Sentinel the statement is ab- solutely false. The "Decreased Assessments notice was printed precisely according to copy furnished by the clerk of the board of supervisors. The re- quired notice to tax payers affect ed by the proposed raises was omitted in the preparation of the copy for the printer, and was not discovered until after the publication had been completed. This copy, as furnished by the clerk, is open to the inspection of anyone who desires to exam inc it. It speaks for itself.

 Mir. Perkins left yesterday morning for the site ot the proposed resertoiir where 8 camp will be established pre- paratcry to the arrival of the drilling machinery. which was shipped from Los Angeles on Monday last.
 Mr. Perkins stated that reservoir fifty feet deep at it's face would hold 400, GOO acre feet of water and would bring under cultivation 90000 acres of valley land and G00O0 acres of mesa land, and would give employment to probably .000 men and teams for three years.

Everf acre of land brought under a permanent water supply will be worth from fifty to one hundred and fifty dollars. per acre, and much of the mesa land even in excess of that amount. It is above the frost belt, and as it is capable of producing anything grown in a semi-tfopical country its in- fuence on the markets of the country can hardly be 0ver-estimated.

1 ly in accord with 651at design.
 Ten acres of good Irrigated soil IF Sire semi tropical valleys Of California will support an av- craze family in comfort. Four hundred thousand acres would, then, support 10000 families, or E60,000 persons if the families consisted of four each. This is the number of landed proprietors who might now be in possession of the greatest irrigated farm in the world if the national irriga- tion law had been passed twenty 1 five years ago and if the land had been reserved for the people un- der a genuine homestead law.
 The great issue of the hour is this: Shall we have on the re mainder of the public domain the land mOnOpOlist or the multitude of small prOprietorS: Shall we have the two families or the 40, : 900? Shall we give the public domain away. or shall we put 1t into the hands of those who claim it as birthright-Of those who will build their homes upon it and use it for the support of their chHdren2
 These burning questions can be evaded no longer. When con gress meets again they must be answered and once for all. While we are talking about it the lands are being absorbed by those who know their value only too well and who propose to sell them at enormous profit to the real home makers, or to hold them as great private estates.
 In his last message the presi- dent urges the repeal of the des ert land law, of the communication clause of the homestead law, and of the timber and stone act. But this great measure of reform did not even get out of the commit tee room of the house of repre- sentatives. And it will never pass except at the behest of an imperious and irresistible public opinion. Every patriotic Amer ican should lend his voice and intiQence to the making of such d public opinion before congress meets again. William E. Smythe in Redlands Citrograph.

A significant statement made by Engineer E. T. Perkins, in his address at Elks' hall Monday afternoon, was that all of the engineers employed on the gov ernment survey of the Colorado river section were unanimous in the opinion that the government irrigation projects along this great river were not only feaSi- ble but the possibilities were the grandest in arid America; on this proposition the engineers are most enthusiastic They are also united on the proposition that actual work should begin on the lower Colorado, and their report to the secretary of the interior wIf so recommend,
