WE are, and always have been. in
favor of law and order but honestly
opine that lynching or two in st.
Louis county would have more
wholesome effect towards diminish
ing murders than a dozen legal exc
cutions. Ten to one the parties in
the brawl at Hibbing Sunday, the
victim of which was buried here yes
terday, meyer heard of the fate of
Henderson, whereas a lynching on the
spot would have been an object les
son long to be remembered. In our
opinion long tedious legal killing
is more brutal than quick and
snappy exit into kingdom come at
the hands Of a determined people OF
crime ridden community. 1t is
much less expensive at any rate.

the property by the men who were doing the assessment work on the claims. The information sent with the samples was very meagre and said nothing further than the fact that they had just been struck. The results of the assays, which will be made to- day, are of course not known, but the values will go way up into the thousands of dollars. This is the second rich strike that has been made in that neighbOrbOOd within the past few weeks, and should the ore body be of any extent there will undoubtedly be a big camp spring up in thatsec tion within a very short time. The company had just contract ed with Prescott parties to sink the shaft 100 feet deeper and they left for that place Thurs day. Journal Miner.

Santa Fe Surveys.

The preliminary sarveys for the proposed railroad to be built to the Colorado river from the $. F. P. & P. are about cOmplet- ed and it will not be long before the officials will decide what route. Surveys have been made, one to leave the main line at Point Wickenburg and Congress Junction, running thence south westerly down through McMul- lens valley as far as Tyson $ Wells, and from there northwest 10 a point on the river some where in the neighborhood of Parker on the Colorado river Indian reservation. The second line is surveyed from the same initial point down as far as Gull lens Wells and from there due west through the Cunningham pass in the Harcuvar mountains and ends at the same point on the Colorado river as route No. l. The third survey starts from  the same points as the others and goes straight towards the Bill Williams river over an open country all the way to FrancOnia, on the Santa Fe, near the Nee dies bridge. This will be the easiest road to build as there are no grades On 1t with the eXcep- tiOn of about SIX miles where it crosses the Bill Williams at a point below the Striped Canyon, and it can be built very rapidly. The fourth survey leaves Hill side station on the ;. x. P. < r. and runs thence southwest down ID the Santa Maria country, and along the Santa Maria and Bill Williams rivers to a point near Parker. Which survey the com pany will adopt, of course, is not known, but if it is decided to start from a point between Wick enburg and Congress Junction, which is more than probable, Wickenburg will probably be- come d division point on account of its unlimited supply of good water. All of the surveys run through the finest mineral sec ton of the territory.-New Herald.

Traffic From the Desert.

Every visitor who goes to the Imperial country and returns tells of the great and growing trade that is being steadily de- veloped in what was the desert. H. c. Gordon is the last to make such a report. He shows that outgoing trans are loaded with produce.
 And this is but the beginning of the business. There is no doubt that within a very few years the irrigated desert will produce all tho freight that a railroad can conveniently haul. It is particlarly a freight-pro- ducing country. It's crops of corn and barley and other grains, with it's cattle and hogs, will form enormous quantities of freight, for it will all be sent 10 outside markets. In the nature of things big proportion of the total will be consumed where it is grown.
 And in the nature of things a big proportion of that freight would find an outlet through this port if railway connection was made. San Diego is now losing a trade which belongs to it, and which is more than anxious to come this way. The fact is lamentable, but it is a fact.-San Diegan-Sun.

EFFECTS OF IRRIGATION LAW.

The acceptance by congress of the principle of federal aid in the construction of irrigation works in the western states has given a great impetus to every indus try in that section of the coun- try. The people of the eastern states are just beginning to real ize the opportunities offered in the territory to be opened up. As the proposition develops a tide of immigration will inevita- bly, set in and this region will become one of the most populous and prosperous in the country. With large areas of reclaimable land, Arizona especially will be benefited by the measure.

President Roosevelt is some times criticised for his eXtrava- gance. That alleged extrava- gance takes the form of treating his friends with open-handed hospitality and spending a con siderable portion of his not large income in excess of his salary. But, if he is willing to do this, why should the public complain: Hospitality is a part of MT. -RoOsevelt's nature, and after all, the United States, the wealth. est nation in the world, pays it's president but S50,000 a year, whereas frugal France pays her president S120,000 and furnishes a palace at that. AIr Roosevelt has to defray out of his own pocket mary similar expenses, and yet this country is much richer and more prosperous than France.
