With this the commander rose and him

in most friendly manner. The young
man, in spite of his distrust, was very
favorably impressed, for there had beer

continually appealing to his Maker for
justification. But Cromwel's attitude
turnout had been that of the honest SOL
der with little to suggest the fervent
exhorter.
After giving some laconic instructions
touching the welfare Of the northerner to
Captain Bent, who was lowering uneasily
in the outside hall, Cromwell, bidding his
enforced guest cordial farewell, ordered
Wentworth to be brought to him and re-
tired once more into the dim council
chamber.
With hands clasped behind him and
head bent, he strobe slowly up and down
the long room in deep meditation, van
ishing into the gloom at the further end
and reappearing in the limited circle Of
light that surrounded the two condles, for
the torches had long since smoked them
selves out, and there had been no re-
placement Of them, for none dared enter
that room, unsummoned while the leader
was within it. The watcher in the gall
lery felt, rather than saw, there was an
OMNIBUS frown on the lowered face as
the commander waited for the second
prisoner, over whom hung sentence Of
death.

Examination.

When Captain Bent entered the galleried
room with his prisoner he found Cromwell
seated at the table, his head bowed over
some pages Of manuscript on which he
was busly writing. The general did not
look up for full minute until he had fin
ished the sentence he was inditing, then
he raised his head and said quietly to the
captain:
Go"
For one brief and lamentable instant the
discipline which held the captain in its
bonds relaxed. and he replied in surprise:
And leave him unguarded, sir?"
Cromwell said nothing, but a look Of
such Edevilish ferocity came into his pier
cling gray eyes that the captain staggered
as if he had received a blow, gasped,
turned and fled. When the commander
turned to Armstrong there was no trace
of resentment or anger in his tones.
''Will you oblige me by closing that door
which Captain Bent has stupidity left
open?. You are nearer it than T.
Armstrong, with a bow, did what he was
requested to do, and returned to his place
beside the table.

What Irrigation Does for Us.

The irrigated valley of the Salt river, Arizona, produces a great va riety of crops, ranging from wheat, barley, rye, oats and corn, to oranges and dates, says the Home maker. Alfalfa is the king of for est plants in Arizona; sorghum also is luxuriant grower. These two crops, especially alfalfa, which can be cut from six to eight times a season, have rendered possible the building up of a great cattle indus try. The land is rich and all that is needed is water to produce in profusion, in addition to these crops, the apricot, the peach, the pear, the fig, the olive, the nectar inc, the pomegranate, the almond, the plum, and the wine and raisin grape. Sugar beets find a con- genial soil and climate and reach a high state of perfection. Cattle and horses graze throughout the year, and the farmers place their oranges on the eastern market ahead of most of the citrus-growing regions.
 Much more land has been taken under irrigation than there is water for, but if the proposed Tonto res ervoir is constructed, the valley of the Salt river will become one of the most beautiful and prosperous garden spots of the world-such place of beauty and thrift as it must have been centuries ago be- fore the white man came and when forgotten people titled the land and utilized the water from the mountain snows.

Oil in Arizona a Sure Thing.

There is oil in Arizona. This has been proven by the we'll now being drilled by the Pinal Para fine Oil Company, in Blackberry wash, Riverside mining district, Pinal county. about seventy miles north of Tucson.
 Drilling has been going on con- tinually since operation was com menced during the summer of 1902, and the we'll is now down to a depth of 1900 feet. The drilling is being done on the Anticline and the drill penetrated sedimentary formations all the way down which stand at an angle of about 45 de- grees. No casing has been needed after the first 50 feet. No water has been encountered excepting at 145 feet and then only enough to supply the drill.
 Considerable gas has been en- countered at different depths and at $50 and HOO feet stratas of shale were encountered from which was extracted parafine oil of the highest grade. This proves that there is oil in Arizona, and it is now up to the speculators and those interested in the develop ment of Arizona's natural resources to find the body of oil. It is cer- tainly close by and the driller, one of the best oil-drillers from Cali fornia, is confident they will get it in the we'll they are now drilling. Alonzo Bailey of Globe is the head of the company and most of the money has been raised by Los An geles parties. Some of the biggest oil men in the country are watch ing this well closely, expecting a flow at any time.-Phoenix Dem ocrat.

 The side gulches are barren and the gold evidently came from afar.
 MT. Steele thinks the field prom ising, but the conditions are diff cult. Orr's company is going ahead with the dam with a view to using the water for mining, and are doing little prospecting. Probably drift mining will be resorted to, and pos sibly there will be developed enough water to float dredgers. But, after all, little is yet known of the gold resources of the field, and there will be no sudden output of the yellow metal.-Oil, Mining and Finance.

OBJECT OF NEW STOCK LAW
CattIemen Have Rather Vague Idea of
 Its Intent and Purposes.

Its Intent and Purposes.
 "W. s. Sturgess, chairman, and J. J. Riggs, members of the live stock sanitary board, have been in town the past two or three days ac- quainting themselves with the con- ditions attaching to the cattle in dustry of this section, and endeav- bring to correct the misapprehen- sions which seem to prevail regard ing some of the provisions of the new law. They argue that the law is wholly meritorious; that its ob- ject is to protect honest cattlemen and rid the territory of the thieves whose operation render the indus try unproftable. The Arizona law is the same, word for word, as that which has been in force in Texas for the past eight and half years, and has proved very satisfactory."- Globe Silver Belt.
 The real intent and purpose of the new stock law seems to be beyond the comprehension of some of our cattlemen. They talk about the law as a game of freeze-out. Such, however, is not the case. The law is, as above stated, "wholly meritorious," that it's object is to protect the cattlemen and rid the territory of thieves.
 The sanitary board has no inten- tion of molesting or questioning the ownership of cattle held by men who have any standing in the ter ritory as honest or legitimate stock men. Here is where mans repu- tation is worth something.
 The man who can show an aver age increase in his herd of say 25, 50 or 75 per cent, or in other words, 25, 50 or 75 calves to every 100 head of COWS, has nothing to fear. But the man who tries to show that his COWS yield two calves per year per COW is very apt to get into trouble.
 It is the duty of every cattleman to stand by the sanitary board in it's efforts to prosecute the thieves. Not only is it the duty of every stockman to lend his assistance to rid the territory of the thieves from a pecuniary standpoint, but from a moral standpoint as we'll.
 No honest cattleman would be very proud of a son-in-law or a daughter in law chosen from a gang of thieves. Maybe you say Rats" to this phase of the ques- tion, yet if you will give the matter a moment of conscientious medita- ton, it may not appear so unlikely after all. Just such occurrences have taken place before of a simi- lar nature and are established prece- dents.
 Do your duty; stand by the sani- tary board and they will stand by you, if you are honest. If you are not honest, you have simply put yourself up against the real arti- cle.-Range News.
