A QUIET TIP.

There are ten or a dozen young fel- lows in this town just entering busi- ness and professional life to whom the Gazette would like to give a quiet tip on success. These young men are properly ambitious to go ahead, to be someone, to advance in the path that their fathers have blazed. There is a cynical philosophy current in America that nerve wins, that brash, raw-often dishonest-swagger is the key to suc- cess.
 The Gazette would like to call the at tention of these young men to Theo- dore Roosevelt. He is the most pro- nounced success in America today, and he has accomplished success simply by doing right, by standing by the decent people, the righteous people-and that doesn't mean the pious people, for they are often unrighteous. Roosevelt has had temptations to give in, to com
 promise with evil to do the smooth thing, because it is popular. Roosevelt
 has been glad to do the unpopular
 thing because it is right. He has been brave without brass, wise without cant. righteous without hypocrisy. And any young man in this town can have the people with him by just such methods. The man who wins is the man who speaks his mind, who stands for the
 right, who does not regard his own sue . cess or failure as important compared

60 feet wide from the river to the di- version headgates, and which supplies water not only for this favored district but for the Tempe country. This sys- tenn together with the Utah Irrigating canal company, irigates the entire ''south side" an area comprising about 70. 900 acres of land now being cuIt1- vated. The cost of irrigation under the Mesa proper and Utah canals Is about 55cents per acre per annum, and owing to the peculiar and economic system of distribution of water, rotating III the dryer seasons, the lands are the best irrigated in the valley. Ihe lahos in this section are under smaller hold- ings, and therefore have attalheu d higher state of cultivation. The lands under the Mesa canal are uniformally level. no leveIing being needed and are of q rich. sandy clay loam, capable of growing crop of grain and corn or cane the same season, which is often done.
 Five crops of alfalfa and winter feed for browsing is a yearly occurance.
 The Mesa country has already three large pumping plants, pumping ln the aggregate 1,7OO inches of water when m operation, and one of them is now being enlarged to furnish the farmers adJa- cent with water in the dry season.
 The lands under the Mesa and Utah canals range in price from $50 per acre to S1O0 according to the improvements and location.
 To the east Of Mesa and far to the south under the Highland and Con solidated canals lie the new lands, that will participate in the use of the stored water from the great Tonto reservoir. These lands can in some instances now be purchased for S7 to $15 per acre; lands just as good as the higher priced, and better irrigated lands under the older canals, and which offers an un- equaled chance for profitable specu- lation.
 Those who desire further information concerning these lands should consult the firm of Pomeroy Bros. & Kelly, of Mesa, who have built up name for honesty and integrity in their business dealings and fairness in their repre- sentations, that secures to the investi- gator protection in any investment he may desire to make. Two of the mem bers Of this firm witnessed the birth of the city of Mesa, and they all are ac- quainted with every foot of land in their strict, and have most of the lands that are for sale on their list.

 The value of real estate in the vicin- ity of Tempe is continually increasing, the valuation depending much on the improvements but still more on the amount of water belonging to the prop erty Land with full pro-ratio of water is held at $100 an acre and above, and that with smaller share of water may be secured at a lower rate, but by far the greater part of the land chang ling hands at the present time is on the basis of the first mentioned figure.

With the cooler days that November usually brings the first gliupses of the new walking suits will be hailed with joy. c,
 The costume trotteur, as they call t In Paris, has made a niche for itself in the fashionable girfs heart. for have not the very best designers. from "a. quin. right on down the list, lavlshed some of their cleverest ideas upon just this same sensible little suit
 This, like the shirt waist, IS a fashion which originated in these United States, and 1t is but a few short seasons ago that the wearer of short skirt and shirtwaist was instantly hailed in Paris as ''une Auericalne.
 With the usual mutations of things, the walking suits that are planned for this autumn, and even the lnStep length skirt of the spring and early summer. has added an inch or so to its length, and now the correct model just barely escapes the ground all around. This is the length that the dressmakers identify as the swing clear" which is a descriptive title, surely
 The skirts show the same easy it over the hips, combined with an anpli- tude of material at. the henls. Broadly speaking. this will describe every skirt of this season. One sees none ot the extreme boufantry around the hips that characterized so many of the summer frocks. Tn the tailor-mades the ft IS snug. though not at all the skln-tight fit that we see in the sO-called eelskln skirt. In the latest patterns the back is painted in various ways. and the habit back is practically already thing of the past
 The all-kilted skirt is quite favorite of the girl who likes to show the eN- trerne of the style There are some re- cent productions in this mode. both in the box plaits and the side kits, that measure not an inch less than ter yards around the bottom And 1t is quite a problem in the sheer, lightweight cloths that still prevail just now to make the skirt assume and retain the distinctive bell shape which Dame Fashion strenucuslv demands The eX- pensive custom talors those who think nothing of charging three figures for a simple coat and sk;-t. arc using the princess haircloth in the hem either of the dress or the drop skirt; and the dressInakers have not been slow to catch the idea and apply it to the frillier and fuffer frocks thot esnanate from their worl1rooms.
 Inserted plaits are marked favorites with the ladies tailors. and they do certainly solve the problem of tight top and flowing hem. The tablier or aprop front is another novelty that the smart girl anoroves, and every effort is used 10 make the front gore assume some what different aspect from its neigh bors on eithor side

 There is a distractingly delightful va riety in the display of coats that are to accompany these same skirts.

The reclamation of the arid west from solitude and barren wilderness to happy homes and bounteous fields needs no exaggeration and Mesa the gem of the Salt River valley, built by years of industry, thrift and toll speaks volumes for the homeseelNer.

STRIKERS IN UGLY
 MOOD AT ST. PAUL
CLASH WITH OFFICERS WHO TRY TO BREAK UP GORDON AND sE- Rlous TROUBLE IS EXPECTED TOMORROW.

St. Paul. July H.-The first clash be- tween the sheriffs force and the strik- ing butchers of Swift & Co.'S plant at South St. Paul occurred yesterday when a spirited and partly successful effort was made by the company, assisted by Sheriff Grisim and deputies to force about twenty-five men through big crowd of strikers who were congregated about the entrance to the packing house yards. A severe hand to hand encounter ensued and several on both sides were bruised. J. K. Banks, marshal of the striking pickets, was arrested and fined S25.
 Manager Tuffle of the Minneapolis branch of Swift & Co.,, who was with the invaders, was pounded by Banks, who threw Tuffle down.
 After the light was over, Sheriff Grisim called the strike leaders and pickets to- gether and said
 "A state of riot exists. If you want an- other sheriff here keep this up. To form this eordon and bar men from the plants is wrong, illegal and without authority of law. You have disregarded my orders and used violence. I have arrested one of your men. although at my instance he was given an easy charge
 Sheriff Grisim ordered the abandonment of the cordon of pickets.
 The men assented but as soon as he left the scene, the cordon was again formed on orders of the business agent of the union. Serious trouble is feared today.

SITE DECIDED UPON.
SynodicaI College at Anniston VIII be
 Located on Leighton Avenue

Anniston, July 17.--(Special.)- .)-The board of directors of the Presbyterian College for Men of the synod of Alabama, met in the city yesterday and decided to To- cate the college on Leighton avenue be- tween Seventh and Eighth streets. Sew eral desirable locations were offered but after visiting the others the site on Leighton was decided upon. The site on Leighton avenue is very desirable one and well suited to the purpose for which it has been adopted. The plot of land which will be transferred includes ten and one-tenth acres, rising in a gradual slope form a frontage of 322 feet to a hillock, upon which the college build ing proper is to be situated.
 Dr. Stagg of Birmingham, president of the board of directors, said that it was the idea of the directors to erect what might be termed a quadrangle on top of the hill in which will be located all the college buildings and homes of the pro- fessors. The homes of the professors will in all probability be erected first and within a short time

Professor White, who has conducted the school for several years in a manner so commenda- ble, has been retained by the board of directors and will conduct the school next year. An assistant will be selected later. The work of the school now will be very similar to that of past years and the principal aim will be the running out of a freshman class for the college in 1905.

ESTIMATED CASH
 GAIN WAS CLOSE
BANK STATEMENT SHOWS DE- PoslTs WERE INCREASED LAST
 WEEK s21,o1s, 100 OR $2,oo5, 200 LESS THAN SUM OF CASH GAIN.

New York. July 17.-The Financier this week says:
 The striking feature of the official state ment of the New York Associated banks last week, was the comparatively close correspo spondence between the average gain in cash. and that which was estimated from the traceable movements of money during the week, the officially reported increase being $13SOO,0O0 while that which was estimated was s12.077,2 200. There is, however a considerable discrepancy shown by the official and the estimated figures of the previous fortnight, the lat ter indicating a gain of seventeen and one-half millions while the official state ments only show one and quarter mill lions. Taking the last three weeks to- gether, the total of the estimated in- crease is twenty-nine and one-half mill lions, while that of the actual gain is $15, ,000 GOO, bank averages for the three weeks period; therefore the account is still fourteen and one-half millions be- low the presumed actual movement as shown by the traceable conditions. The deposits were increased $21,019, 100 last week. or $2, 005 200 less than the sum of the gain in cash, and the increase in loans, hence the statement does not bal- ance. The required reserve against gen. eral deposits was $5,254775 deducting from which the gain in cash leaves $S,- 545,627 as the increase in surplus reserve to $44563, $50. Computed upon the basis of deposits less those of $23, 323, 100 public funds, the surplus is $50,9O4130.
 The loans were expanded S9. 223, 300. prob ably largely due to bond negotiations and also to borrowing by commission houses. It is noteworthy that the loans Are the highest ever reported, and that cash and deposits show new high records; the sur plus reserve is ten and one-third millions greater than that previously reported this year. it having been $34. TOO on April g, and 1t is also in excess of that record ed in recent years. The increase in this item since May 14~when it was $12,S27 250 the minimum has been $31, S36 GOO. The daily average of bank clearings last week was $211 000. 900, or four millions less than in the previous week. but the clearings reported on Saturday refecting the busi- ness of Friday were $224,S96,14 or much above the average. Comparing changes in loans by individual banks, four insti- tutions show a net gain of eight and one fifth millions; cash gain by five banks were $12, GOO GOO net.

On account of drinking of the water Mrs. F'ite was made deathly sick and but for the timely arrival of a phy- sician she might have died.

 Mrs. Ffte noticed that the water was bitter when she drank of it and called at. tention to this fact which caused the early discovery of the deed. MT. Fite stands well in the community and know no reason why any one should attempt to take his life or the lives of any of his family.
