Praise for Lord Alverstone.
All the counsel engaged before the
Alaskan Boundary Tribunal, even the
Canadian, are enthusiastic in their
praise OF the manner in which Lord AL
verstone has presided over the proceed

the lord chief justice has represented
England at an important arbitration
He shared with Sir Charles Russell. who
preceded him on the bench as lord
chief justice. the duty of prosecuting
the British case in the Behring Sea ar
bitration in 1888. for which he received
the Grand Cross of the Order of St
Michael and St George He was lead
ing counsel for Great Britain in the
Venezuela arbitration Of 1893. at the
close Of which he received from Queen
Victoria baronctcy. an honor rarely
bestowed on a law officer. and on his
elevation to the bench 10 succeed Lord
Russell as lord chief justice of Eng
land. he received a peerage, and. OF
course, a seat in the house of lords.
II would be no exaggeration TO say
that Lord AlveTstone is without excep

Der of the bar. To vary the title Of a
popular song, They All Love Dick,

The fish enters the machine tail first with its hack down. Theae is a long horizontal plunger, much like a human arm, whieh reaches i'm and draws the fish through a series of revolving knives that cut off all the fins at one stroke. After passing the knives the fish is cut open, and the entraiE cut out, after which it is dropped into a carriage running at right angles with the line of knives and thoroughly washed by d series of revolving brushes, then carried at another angle to where it is chopped into uaiform slices the proper size ts fit inte the cans It will do the werk in six hours that it now takes 40 Chinamen to de in IA hours.

other northern and eastern cities. He was engaged in bringing to the notice of capitalists the advantage of invest ment in Arizona mining properties and he was very successful. He would per haps have stayed longer but for the cold weather he found almost unbeara- ble to man who had lived a half doz- en years in the Salt River valley.
 CHANGE IN THE LAW.-Through an inadvertence the rame of the Hon. ?. H. Parker was omitted from the list of members of the new board of equal ization. in The Republican of yester day. MT. Parker is the member for the Third judicial district, and under the amended law the territorial audi tor, who formerly was the member for this district, is the chairman of the beard. This gives the board mem- bership of five, instead of four as here tofore.
 A BUSINESS CHANGE.-Mr. L. B. Larirner has resigned his position as Assistant Cashier of the Phoenix Ma tional bank, having become identified with and accepted responsible posi- ton in an executive capacity with the growing Commercial Trust company of Prescott. Mir Larimer has been con- nected with the Phoenix National bank for a great many years, so long in fact that he had come to be recognized as T part of that financial institution He has been promoted from time to time until q little mere than a year ago he was made assistant cashier.
 THE RIVERS $ STATUS.-The pres ent supply of irrigation water in Salt river at the Arizona canal head is be- tween 10000 and 50.000 inches tluctu- ating considerably each day. There IS 9 variation of several thousand inches between the fiow at night and the flow in the daytime. the greatest flow be- ing in the daytime. It is roughly esti- mated that it takes about twe1ty-four hours for the water to run down from the hills or water shed, to the canal head or longer from the upper reaches of the stream. The big day flow is doubtless caused largely by the melting snow Of the preceding day augmented by the flow from the springs. The equitable division of the water at the head is rather difficult at this time, ow- ing to the fact that the surplus makes Q very thin sheet of water running over very long. or rather very wide dam.

Cravens who has been resident of Phoenix for several months and who is known as Q talented musi- elan, has received from Ottawa, Kan sas, the rews that she has been select led as the pianist and aocompanist for the annual Chatauqua assembly to be held ill Ottawa in July.
