Time For Learning.
Oh, the world has need of sunshine as you
go,
For we often see the tears of sorrow flow.
You can haste that coming day
When they'll all be wiped away
If you scatter blessed sunshine as you 60.
You can labor for the Master as you go;
Plant the precious seed, and He will bid
it grow;
Toiling on what'er betide.
. With the Saviour by your side,
You can scatter blessed sunshine as ron GO.
You will meet with many trials as you go:
There will be some self.denials here below;
But keep looking still above,
And remember God is love.
While you scatter blessed sunshine as you

There is much in the world and in our
lives to make us sad and sorrowful be-
times, but when we recall who and what
we are our tears should be dried and our
faces glisten with the JOY of salvation.
Then, too. we are enjoincd to cultivate \
spirit OF unceaslng devotion; not that We
we should ever be in prayerful spirit.
Moreover. 1t Is enjoined upon Christian
people that they cultivate a grateful dispo-
sitlon spirit OF thanksgiving Some may
lind 1t hard in everything to give thanks,'
but, since there is no condition so bad but
II might be worse, there is sound philoso-
phy at the bottom of the injunction, and.
moreover, it is to be remembered that in
the providence OF God all things are made.
to work together for good to them that
love HIM. Iheeriulness, prayertul spirit
and the spirit of thanksgiving are Christian
virtues God would lave us all cultivate.

 The Mesa correspondent of the Phoe- nix Republican says; E. P. Grover returned to Mesa from the upper country. He left his sheep herd at Spring creek, this side of Pleasant valley, to come on as the grass grows. | There has been an abundance of rain in that country during the spring and summer, but is a little short this side. When asked concerning the sheep in- dustry and the outlook for this coun- try, he said: "There will be more sheep brought down into the valley this year than ever before. There will be in the neighborhood of POO, GOO head brought here for shearing and lamb. | ing this season. Over 100000 have been purchased from New Mexico. Cameron and partner alone purchased ] 5S, GOO head from New Mexico and are bringing them south. He will conduct shearing station here this year and expects larger business than ever before.
 Governor Brodie is quoted by the Enterprise as strongly favoring bull lion tax. Abiding to the New York Commercials estimate of l67 1000, 900 pounds as the copper output of Ari- zona this year, the governor said If we had bullion tax of only one mill per pound, that would give the start ling amount of $167, ,OOO, and there is no doubt in the world that this amount will next year be larger. We ought to have it. A bullion tax is only fair. Montana has 1t and prospers under it.. Not that we are in such need of money, but that the mine owners are taking out fortunes from Arizona soil and they are willing to pay a fair tax thereon. Besides it will mean that much less to be paid by those who must work hard enough for what they have. A small bullion tax means an income from a source not touched upon now and coming from outside in- yeStors, to large extent, it is obliged to make general taxes lighter than they are"

SANTA FE OFFICIALS VISIT
Different Views of its Significance Expressed
 by Phoenix Newspapers

The Gaze tte says: President Ripley,
 Vice President Paul Morton, Third i Nice-President J. W. Kendrick, of the
 santa Fe, J. II. Emmert, assistant to 1 President Murphy, W. P. Story, road
 master, and F. J. Dunn of the $. F.,
 r. X. P, accompanied by President | Fowler of the Water Users association | and Engineer A. P. Davis, spent Sey.
 eral hours in going over the road be. tween here and Mesa, discussing the future welfare of Arizona, and the
 Salt river valley in particular
 While the object of the visit was
 not specifically announced, rumor has
 1t that the Santa Fe people are look ing into the advisability of running
 the main line through this valley, making Phoenix division point, and also giving the valley a tranSconti- mental line, the shortest from coast to coast. The object would be to cut off all the high grades which the present route makes necessary and which has been rather expensive to the company. The road, if run through this valley, would open up much richer country and also make it less expensive to maintain the rolling stock as well as the road bed.
 ''lti is believe that the building of the TontU dam, with the other lm- prOvementS that are to follow will make this city too important point to be overlooked and it is the policy of the Santa Fe people to progress and cut down distance. The plan for ShOr- tening the route as well as doing away with the heavy grades are by no means impossible, but more than probable"
 The Republican, which is supposed to have inside information on projects with which Frank Murphy is con nected, says
 ''The visit of railroad men of such | prominence naturally eXciteS interest | and speculation respecting it's purpose. Primarily, of course, it was an official | trip of inspection of Santa Fe proper. Jles and connections generally. But it Is no violation of confidence to say that the conference with MeSSrs. Davis md Fowler was to ascertain from them their views of the practicability of railroad nearer to the rOnto basin dam than is now afforded y any point in this valley. The pos ibility that such q line might be prac- icable was suggested editorially by h9 Republican recently, but 1t can be aid that so far everything in that di- ection is still in the air.
