Striving After the impossible.

The construction of the irrigation works on upper Salt river, commonly called the Tonto reservoir, Is stupen- dous undertaking, project that has no equal iu the world in magnitude and the beueticent results expected from it, unless 1t be the Assouan dam on the Nile.
 It also has its serious side to the peO- pie of the Salt river valley, us the con struction of the Tonto dam and tribu- tary works will impose upon the owners of the lands to be benefited great financial obligation. In the work to be performed under the national irrigation law the governments position is simply that of supervising engineer and fiscal agent. While i. agrees to advance the money for tue construction of irriga. ton works, 1t requires that every dol lar so expended shall be paid back, and until fully satisfied the debt will lie as a mortgage against every acre of land to Ne directly benefited.
 The early estimate of the cost of the Tonto dam was $2, 800, ,OOO, but those figures have been accepted as merely approximate, and in all probability the actual cost of the completed works wll exceed that amount by at least half million, and perhaps more.
 The burden to be assumed by the people of Salt river valley Is, therefore, no light one, and it is but natural that they should want to get out of the proposition all that is possible. About two-tbirds of the total expenditure for the Tonto project will be disbursed lo- caIly for labor, transportation and sup plies, and most of this will go into circulation at the forwarding point. l This would mean much to Phoenix, | Tempe and Mesa, could they control | the business 1t would insure prosper | ity during the construction period, and l approaching thIs they are eager to se- cure direct communication by wagon road or trolly-with the reservoir site.
 There are, however, two difficulties in the way to the plishment of this purpose. First, nature has inter- | posed barrier in range of rugged mountains separating the upper and | lower valleys of the Salt, through | which no practicable pass has yet been discovered and second, if feasible route could be found the valley towns could not compete with Globe in the matter of wagon transportation, as the | distance from Salt river points to the dam would be eighty miles or more, while from Globe it Is only about thir- ty miles, and by small expenditure the only grade on the road from Globe could be eliminated, and Q down. hill |

The GIIa Valley Arleslsn Belt.

There has never been a united effort made to bring our resources to the at tentiOn of capital. If such a belt of water as the artesian belt of this valley should be discovered in Cali. fornia inside of two years hundreds of thousands of dollars would be spent in its development. Instead of doing that here some of us even try to give it black eye. In Phoenix is located a corps of government engineers whose business it is to test the arte- sian water in this territory. Through their investigations they are able to etine the belt, it's extent and prob able volume. This has been done by them on the San Pedro and other places. They have not been here for the reason that some enterpriSipg citizen reported UO them that our wells are rapidly going dry. The one who did this certainly did this valley great injustice and injury. We d. not believe We will miss it far by say ing that at the present time the ar tesan wells in this valley are flowing as much water as all the other arteSi. an wells in the territory combined. .- Guardian

Is race suicide in the United States a myth |? w. A. King, chief of the vital statistics of the census efiice, says it is. lie points to the fact that in 1900 the census enumerators found 2,049, 132 babies had been born during the pre- vious year against l,039, ,094 deaths or an excess of births of 1,0l0,03S. An important consideration is that deaths are recorded with more accuracy than births, and Mir. King says the excess of births in the United States is uu. doubtedly much larger than the fore. going figures would indicate.

The composition of the Alaska bound. ary commission does not promise we'll for the settlement of the question at issue, America having three represent atives and Canada the same number. With no umpire, one side or the other will have to recede from the position it has taken If anything is to be accom- plished, and it will certainly not be the United States. Our government bases it's claim upon the treaty of 1925, be- tween England and Russia, in which Russias title to the territory now held and claimed by the United States, was clearly recognized. This strip. extend ing along the mainland downward from the great body of Alaska and follow ing the sea indentations throughout its entire course, was ceded by Russia to the United States in the treaty of 1867 by which we bought Alaska. No claim to any part of this strip was made by Canada until after the gold discoveries iu the Klondike in 1897. Canada then discovered that one or two ports in the territory held by the United States and conceded along to that time to belong to the United States, would be conyen- lent for the gold region, and claim was made to them. There Is no inter national question affecting this country upon which the American people are better informed and they are deter mined to maintain our position Whether Canada recedes or not, the United States will continue to hold the disputed territory.

A reform in funerals, started by the late Duke of Westminster and empha- sized by the burial of Lord Salisbury, might well be adopted in wealthy and prominent circles in the United States, where such lavish display is the rule. Lord SalisbuIy's funeral by his express wish was not to cost more than $l00, and 1t is said that, as n mot ter of fact it cost only S70. The burial of the Duke of Westminster cost even less, the amount as stated being $50. It is explained that iu each of the cases here cited the wood of the coffin was supplied from the private estate of the deceased.

The farmers of Salt river valley do not propose to be buncoed by the mer- chants and saloon keepers of Phoenix, Tempe and Mesa, who would have the county bonded to build wagon road for their especial benefit. The farm CTS of the valley will be called upon to bear the entire cost of the Tonto dam, from which the town-people will reap the first benefit. It looks as though the farmers already had the worst of it.

haul be secured for the entire distance
 The government engineers, to pro- mote friendly relations with the Salt river valley people, have examined the several routes suggested but without finding any over which road could be built that would be practicable for freighting. Two of the geological sur yey engineers have at different times stated to us that it might be possible to establish balloon or air-ship line be- tween Phoenix and the Tonto dam, but that n wagon road was out of the ques- tion. Engineer A. P, Davis, in order to let the Phoenix people down easy, recently told them that the building of road might be undertaken if they would put up Sl0O, 900, which was the same as saying that the road was i'm possible.
 Even if the engineers reported fla vorably the question of raising $l00, 900 would be hard to solve. Some busi- ness men of Phoenix are in favor of bonding the county, but this proposi- tion Is objected to by the farmers of the valley, who argue that as they will have to pay the cost of the dam, from which all will benefit, it would be un- reasonable to expect them to contribute to the expeLse of road that would benefit chiedy the merchants and sa- looms.
 The Phoenix papers may continue to discuss the Tonto road proposition for lack of q live subject to write about. but nevertheless, the road question has been virtually settled in the negative.
 Globe will do the business, and tue Salt river valley will pay the freight.

BlSBeE DRILLING MATCH
Ssl Tar Win: Over William Ross in the Single
 Hand Contest.

Sel Tarr drilled 3S3 inches in fifteen minutes Tuesday afternoon and won from Wm. Ross, who drilled 3js inches, says the Bisbee Miner.
 The men were drilling straight away for a side bet of $500 each. The money has been taken down by Tarr
 On the rock the judges were c. c. Warner W. K Anderson and Tom Deyine. The measuring of the hole was done by Anderson and Warner, and Deyine held the watch.
 Tarr had Ed Malley for his turner and the work he did that afternoon was the cleanest on the rock. Every change was made without d quiver. He pounded the drill on the bottom of the hole and helped by this. He was hit on the head but not hurt by Tarr' $ drill.
 Tarr had his brother, Henry Tarr, for cOacher aud James Mllley for pri- yate timekeeper.
 The work Of Tdrr was marvellous and ranks as the best performance ever made in a contest of this kind. He struck on an average of sixty blows to the minute.
 Ross drilled we'll but the sulphur Smoke bothered him several times, Carl Make turned for him, and did good work, but he could not make his man win.
 For timekeeper Ross had Dick Con ley, and fO: coach Bob Lyons. Both worked hard.
 After Ross had finished drilling, and Tarr was about to mount the rock the betting was 50 to 8 on Tarr. Several hundred dollars was wagered.
 An immense crowd was out. The hillsides and the railroad tracks were crowded with people eager to see the match. About two thousand were on the ground.
 1t was a gala day in Bisbee for those who like drilling contests.

The most notable contribution to Labor day oratory was che presidents $ speech at Syracuse, New York. It was timely deliyerance upon the subject of good citizenship, and the sentiments expressed will meet the approval of every true American. The president s definition of the good citizen is "The man who, whatever his wealth or hls poverty, strives manfully to do his duty to himself, to his family, to his neigh bor, to the state who Is incapable of the baseness which manifests itself either in arrogance or in envy, but who while demanding justice for hlm- self is no less scrupulous to do justice to others. It is because the average American citizen, rich or poor, is of inst this type that we have cause for our profound faith in the future of the republic.
