 Chicago, Jan. 28, 1905. The F. G. Mccoy Co.,, Prescott, Arizona. Sirs: We take pleas ure in handing you herewith invoice covering your purchase of 40 barrels in bond of the famous Sam Clay Whiskey, and we beg to thank you for your kind order.
 You are, indeed, to be congratu- lated upon the selection of these fine whiskies, and your patrons may safely leave the catering to their wants in your hands. The fact that you have selected the oldest whiskey Obtainable of this justly famous brand of whiskey proves that you consider their wants first and foremost, and that you are providing a first class whiskey for your bar regardless of expense, when you could, indeed, purchase an in- feriOr whiskey at a great deal less money, and could perhaps sell it just as well, and make a much larger pro- fit.
 We believe, however, that you have taken the proper course in building up large business, as we think that, by furnishing your customers with the best the market affords, even at greater cost, you will more than make it up by the large business you friends you will win and cement to yourselves.
 Wishing you the very best success, which you so richly deserve, and thanking you for your valued order we are, with kind regards,

RAILROAD ACCIDENTS.

The Phenix Enterprise suggests a plan to avoid railroad collisions. It illustrates its system by means of the recent wreck on the Southern Pacific as follows:
 ''For instance, when the east bound train left Tucson that night the con ductor should have known where all the trains on the line were at that hour. He would then have had some idea where he would meet the west bound passenger and the freight. Two or three stations east of Vail sta tion telegraph orders should have been given to the conductors of the west bound trains and these orders should have been re- issued at every station. They should have been explicit, and informed the conductor of the loca- tion of the approaching train so that both engineers would have been on the lookout" "
 Of course this would virtually amount to furnishing each train crew with copy of the train dispatcher's sheet at each station. It might prove efficacious in preventing accidents but would very seriously retard the move ment of trains and in fact is abso- lutely impractical. An easier method would be for train men to fire rockets in the air while on crooked track and this would no doubt prove impossi- ble. When the engineer of the west bound limited train first saw the head light of the approaching east bound train he thought it was on the Esmond siding so that when all theories are sifted down it is probable that the present system is as nearly perfect as can be devised, and depends entirely upon the efficiency of those interested in carrying it out. The block system in vogue on many of the eastern roads might furnish better safeguard from collision, but even this is not infalli- ble as was demonstrated on a New Jersey road last week, where the engin eer ofa passenger train paid the penalty of mistaking a block light. with his life and in addition about thirty others were also killed. Train orders properly given and faithfully carried out will reduce railroad accidents to minimum, though it occasionally happens that train dispatcher sends two trains in collision. This rare occurrence however.

The report of the geological survey shows that there are fully 800, 900 acres of the richest lands in the world between Bulls Head Canyon and Yu- ma on both sides of the Colorado river, that can be reclaimed by the building of dam at Bulls Head and other places on the river. Congress will be called on to allow of a dam in the river, as it is considered a navi- gable stream to the Vegas Wash, and a dam cannot be put across the river to obstruct navigation until the con- sent of congress is obtained to that end. There is now money sufficient in arid land fund to complete a dam sufficient for all purposes on the river, and the prospects are good for its construction. .-Mohave Miner.

A close reader of some of the terri torial democratic papers could not have failed to notice that they are proddnig up the legislature to keeI their platform promises on some meas ures and are temporizing with other blanks it contained and framing eX- cuses for their violation. But no one ever seriously thought of the legisla- tors keeping their platform pledges, and no reasonable person expects a democratic paper to be consistent.
