WE MUST PREPARE FOR A DELUGE

A company OF Denver people are
making ready to try a new patent
dry washer on the gold bearing
gravels in the Quartzite section.
This paper has always had faith
in the beneficial work of dry wash
ers ever since jim Lowry clandes-
timely abducted an old drv washer
from the plaza with the intention
Of working some dry gold-bearing
beds west of Prescott. The country
was then suffering with an unpre-
cedented drouth. However, as soon
as Mr. Lowry had his washer ready
to start up, the food gates Of upper
space yawned and gully-washing
floods filled all waterways, and
there was general rejoicing. But
colonial dependencies, as we'll as
republics, are ungrateful, and Mr..
Lowry and his dry washer were
not even rendered a vote of thanks" ;"
The above remarks by a Courier
scribe would indicate that this sec
ton ought to soon have a watery
flood.

February 4th.
All great speed runs Of long dis
tance have depended much upon
the element of discipline, Of which
the above item makes such favor
able mention. And, while this is
true OF railroad runs, it should not
be forgotten that great success in
all walks OF life depends, in a meas
ure, upon the same factor.
Lack of discipline means long
train Of disasters or failures. The
man Tor woman) who not svstem-
atically obedient to some set of
rules or principles, or, in other
words, who has never been taught
to control himself according to
certain set principles, is not apt to
be as much Of a success in any
avenue Of life as the person who is
so trained. A great corporation
like the Santa Fe Railroad Com
pany sees that discipline-instan-
taneous punctuality in obedience
is necessary to its highest success.
individuals should apply the same
systematic care in their affairs. A
corporation could not carry on a
big business by the methods of or
dinary people. Ordinary people
could, therefore, by system, and
obedience to it, save much of their
work and worry. We mean sensi-
BILE system, not the kind that
makes one do more work" on the
system than on the " work.
The news-herald., 1904-03-05

THERE is an old saying that " 1t
is not what we want that does us
good, but it is what we get" This
is not the truth in many cases. 1t
is often what we fail to get that
saves much trouble and worry.
Grown folks are only u kind of
children.

SATURDAY. MARCH 5, 1904
AN OPPORTUNITY

Public servants should be chosen
for their honesty, capability, indus
try and sobriety. A public servant
who makes record marked by
these characteristics, wins for him
self and the party which nominated
him the just econiums OF his fellow
man.
The Territorial primary of the
Republican party is now a thing of
the past. Soon the Democratic
party will have made some similar
history. And it will not be long un-
til both parties will again assemble
to nominate candidates for county
offices and for Delegate to Congress.
The Prohibition and Labor parties
will do the same thing ere many
months have gone by.
The temper of the American peo-
pie is, at this time, particularly
wrought up against various kinds
of dishonesty and incapacity, as
we'll as laziness and debauchery in
public officials. The last year has
brought to light so much grating,
and waste of public funds through
other causes, that the people are
not inclined to put up with the
thing much longer.
A friend of ours, not long ago,
mentioned, in an off-hand way,
the powers that be-" This put us
to thinking. Why should any set
of men be referred to in any free
country as "the powers that be?"
Were this a monarchy, then we
could brook the idea of the pow
ers that be-" when used with refer
ence to a certain man and his fol-
lowing.
Who are, or what is /" the powers
that be?" Because any man has
been favored by his fellow man, by
fortune, or by some rich relation,
does that entitle him to be "the
powers?"
Because the American people
have forgotten to some extent to
keep their eyes glued to the fellow
who is honest, capable, willing and
sober, it does not follow that real,
good American sense is on the
wane. The object lesson OF the
overtrusted, undertested man who
went wrong" is standing out in
too many places in alto-rilievo.
Political parties of the present
whether strong or weak, have the
greatest opportunity OF recent years
to get into line with the sentiments
of the real powers that be-the peo-
ple-yes, we might as we'll say, the
Common People. The Pan-parti-
sanship of the grating business.
makes it impossible for any politi-
cal party to say that it is free from
the vice. The people cannot all be
fooled long The majority have
about now, been fooled long enough
"The real powers that be-" worm
like, are ready to turn. And, when
the turning takes place, some Of
the ones Who have figured on the
density of the voter" will be left
on one side of the highway.
Here is where the opportunity
The news-herald., 1904-03-05
NOW RECORD RAILROAD RUNS ARE
MADE

!
which it has upon the question Of
discipline upon American railroads,
a subject now under public discus
sion, the recent record breaking run
accomplished by the Clark special
on the Santa Fe railroad, is of more
than passing interest. The train
set new mark for long-distance
speed by travelling 1915 miles from
Winslow, Ari,z, to Chicago, at the
rate of forty-fve miles an hour, in
Guiding stops for engine changes.
The operating difficulties overcome
were such as to tax to the utmost
the ingenuity, perseverance and
discipline Of every employe en-
gagged in train service. Miles of the
journey were made over mountain
passes with the maximum grades Of
1856 feet to the mile, and the last
third of the trip was made in
weather which was almost prohibi-
tory of fast running.
1t may be true, as Slason Thomp-
son asserts, that labor organiza.
tions have initiated against perfect
discipline, and it is undoubtedly
true that there is room for improve
ment in this respect 1t is never
theless a fact that such feat as
that accomplished by the Clark
special is impossible without very
high order of discipline upon the
part of every employe, from the
chief train dispatcher to the switch
tender. 1t is also fact that disci-
pline is such on majority of the
big railway systems OF the United
States that any one of them will
undertake to operate special over
the entire road upon thirty min
utes' notice. An idea OF the disci-
pline necessary to do this with
reasonable assurance of safety can
be had from the method of operat-
ing such train.
Having received advice from the
head of the passenger department
that a special is desired to run be-
tween certain points, between GER
tain hours, the general superin-
tendent gives this information to
the superintendent of the initial di-
vision and his chief train dispatch
er, and the former duplicates it to
division superintendent and dis
patchers. The chief dispatcher i'm
mediately prepares schedule, and
this he wires to all yard masters,
station agents and train crews, get
ting their signatures to the mes
sage which gives the special a
clean right of way, and practi-
cally places it upon the time ta-
BILE. The dispatcher then prepares
an order for the movement of the
train, which is sent to every train,
engine and switching crew, and ev-
cry train dispatcher, the latter re-
ceiving advices as to the time the
special will be delivered into their
keeping. In the meantime, the
terminal yardmaster has been MAX
ing the special ready, the head Of
the car department seeing to it that
the cars are in the best of order.
The master mechanic has also been
assembling locomotives and emer-
gency equipment at division head
quarters along the route, and has
provided his most expert crews to
operate the train. Extra guards

comes in. Tho political parties
know who their honest men are.
The people also know who the hon
est men are.
Which of the political parties

anteed merit, honesty, industry
and sobriety?" Which party will

we mean applying the same prin-
ciples to the selection of public SER
wants (and servants is what we mean
mot bosses in the pay of the public)
as is used in the selection of private
servants.
This is not intended as q criti-
cism of any Territorial or county
officer in the Territory. 1t is merely
a hint thrown out to the parties
and to the public, which consti-
tutes the parties. 1t cannot be pos
sible that the past two years
record in the country at large, Of
grafters caught, and of those all but
caught, some old cases and some
new, has left no impression on the
public mind. The party that comes
out and shuts out all forms of dis
honesty and trickery, debauchery
and idleness from it's methods, will
surely win in this falPs campaign.
The two leading parties which
bave the most of the pie in their
hands may consider this an indict-
ment to u certain extent. Perhaps
it is. For it can not be forgotten
that recently a man from the wo-
man suffrage State of Colorado has
seen fit to say that he is willing
to step down and out because the
influences which elected him were
so corrupt that he could. not accept
the office of United States Con-
gresham. Neither can it be for
gotten that every election has been
carried on for years with the idea
that it takes a great deal of money
to carry on a campaign. Why
should it require a rich man to run
for an office, and the bigger the Of
flee, the richer the man required?
Why is it that every year the Gov
ernor of Arizona and of~other States
offer rewards for the arrest and con-
viction of any one violating the elec-
ton laws, and still those rewards 60
unclaimed? And that in the face of
the fact that all sorts of Illegal ex-
penditures 60 unchallenged by the
officers of the law.
Would not the people, who in
the end pay the bills for all kinds
of extravaganza, rather support
ticket which refused to put up
bribe money, or drink money, or
other "infuence" money? Per-
haps the people are not yet ready
for so much honesty, but the ticket
beaten on that kind of policy would
be remembered when the bribe
ticket got down" to grating.
And, too, the members of ticket
on strictly honest and legal lines
have the satisfaction of knowing
that they did not have to keep still
because they, too, lived in glass
houses, as is usually the situation
with cases involving the violation
of election laws. The Republican
who bribes voters can not, with
safety to himself, bring charges
against a Democrat for the same

NEW JOB FOR THE ANTS
The GuatemaIan Insects to Be Set to
Work Against the Potato
Reefle

Washington, Sept. 10.-The strenuOu.
Guatemalan ant is to be put to other
uses than the killing of the cotton boil
weevl. The department Of agriculture
has instituted Il general inquiry into the
cannibalstic tendencies of the exotic
insect and will try his fangs on many
pests that now rage uncontrolled by
the Woodworking farmer, Except al con-
siderable expense and no end of worry.
For instance the potato beetle, a bug
which, in some parts of the country, is
making depredations on a crop which
is regarded as inseparably connected
with the satisfaction OF appetite, is to
be brought within the destructive OPP
erations Of the newly found ant. The
experiments will be carried on by DR..
Orator +. Cook at the departmental
station at Bethesda, Md, few miles
out of this city.
The beetle has been doing a great
deal of destruction on farms around
Washington this season and the expert
ment will be watched with great inter-
est. Several colonies of ants have been
brought to this city and are in read-
ness to be set at work. 1t is not ex-
pected that the ants will survive the
cold winter of this latitude, but it is
believed that If they will kill the potato
beetle, sufficient ,iImbers of them can
be bred in the milder regions and inn
ported where the beetle is doing his
worst In time to save potato crop.
In ATTITUDES where the climate is
adapted to the ants the potato crop
may be feasibly protected in this man
ner. The department experts are GO
ing to make q special study of the pol
icy OF using one insect to kill another

Will Be Placed in Two Divisions With
kuropatkir at Head.
St. Petersburg. Sept. 10.-Besides the
formation of the fresh army corps as
the first answer to the japanese success
at Lao Yang, the Russian army at
the front will be recognized, probably
in the form of two armies, in COM
mand of General Lnevitch and General
Baron kaulbarS respectively, with
General Kuropatkin as commander in
chief. General Kaulbars will go out
with the two corps now organizing in
the governments of Kaasan. Odessa,
Wilma and kieff. General Linevitch has
been ordered by telegraph from Vlad-
vostoli to Mukden. This decision is
due in part doubtless to the growing
uuwieldinesS of the big force under
General Europatkin's command, and
which will be largely increased by con-
slant renforcements.
General I\uropatkin heretofore has
handled every detail of the vast organ
iZation. The work is too much for one
man, and he is now almost broken
down under the strain. 1t is known that
the emperor is personally one of I<u-
ropatkin's strong supporters and it is
thought the general will, in all proba-
armies. kuropatkin, however, has been
seriously criticised by some of the en-
peror's close military advisers, and it
is possible that he may eventually be
superseded.
1t is understood that the emperor s
inspection of the Baltic fleet at Cron-
stadt is the last he will make and that
the fleet, when it leaves Libau will
proceed to the far east.

DIES MONIES MEN INVEST
Syndicate Granted Franchise to Con
struct and Operate Sioux Falls
Street Railway

Sioux Falls S. D., Sept. los. C.
Lee, A. r. Marshall, w. r. Marshall,
]. r. Shelly and G. w. Rhine compose
Des Moines, Ia syndicate which has
Just been granted a franchise for the
construction and operation of an cleo
trio street railway system in Sioux
Falls
There is every reason to believe that
the granting of the franchise means
that the city is at last to secure a pub
lie improvement which the people gen
orally have long .-sired, and which
they are unanimous in declaring will
do more than any other one thing for
the advancement and upbuilding OF the
city.
Prior to asking for the franchise the
Des Moines men fully satisfied them
selves that, there was an excellent OPP
ening here for first class, modern
street railway system, and while they
do not anticipate that such system
will be paying venture from the
start, they are convinced that in time
the system will prove profitable in
vestment.
1t is expected that the work Of con
structing the system will commence in
the course of the next few weeks.
The same syndicate has also been
granted a franchise for the construc-
ton and operation of a central heating
plant. This is another improvement
which the city badly needs.

SUMMARY OF WAR NE WIS

True to their system of keeping some

If not in one part of the theater of war
then in another. the Japanese are now
putting on a couple of sideshows. with

new act about Mukden.
From Port Arthur comes a story Of
naval activity. which indicates that
| there has been another bombardment
and general assault on the fortress by
! land and sea. Additional reinforce
/ ments are known TO have been sent
| to the besieging army. Report says the

milton is said to be painfully lacking

| a new field of operations is opened
! by the report that Korsakovsk, the
chief town of Sakhalin island, was
| bombarded by two Japanese cruisers.
This island will doubtless be one of the
| prizes II Japan wins, for it was tradi-
tionally a part of the empire till Rus
STA took it over thirty years ago. The
Japanese have been expected for some
time to land an expedition there as
soon as they had time and men to
spare.
From the seat OF chief interest moth
| ing significant comes, except as the
density of Japanese silence is signifi-
| cant. Mukden reports imminent dam
ger of 4 battle southeast of the town.
and st. Petersburg reports that the
general staff expects another clash
| soon. it is stated that Kuroki's army
is marching up the railroad twenty-sev-
ell miles east of the line. Oku's twenty
miles west of it: Kuropatkin's is be-
| tween; Nodzu's is presumably to the
rear. That the Japanese have nothing
whatever to say is generally taken to
| indicate that they are struggling to
| perfect another eEveloping movement,
and thus force a general engagement

present advices entirely unlikely that
Kuropatkin can avoid another great
battle. With his army demoralized by
it's flight, the result would seem hardly
doubtful.

NEWS is UNSATISFACTORY.
One Brief Censored Bulletin is All That
Comes from Mukden.

One Brief Censored Bulletin is All That
Comes from Mukden.
ST. Petersburg, Sept. 10-A brief Muk-
den dispatch received today from the
Associated Press Russian correspond
cnt, dated the It'll, is the latest word
from the front. 1t is probably all the
censor would allow to be sent, and Of
fers no solution of the question whether
Kuropatllin is continuing his march
northward. But it seems to indicate
that such a course is contingent upon
the ability of Oyama to try to repeat
at Mukden the enveloping movement
which failed at Lao Yang. The only
thing certain seems to be that for the
moment everything is quiet.
The Novoe Nremya today published
an editorial urging the appointment of
Kuropatkin as commander-in-chief of
the Russian forces in the far east. Evil
IDENTIFY this aims at Niceroy AleXieff,
who has repeatedly been represented as
interfering with Kuropatkin's plans.
From Kuropatkin's report it seems
evident that he is tentatively prepar-
ing to meet the japanese again should
Oyama continue to press northward.
Nothing more important than rear
guard actions marked the march to
Mukden. The region south of that city
is now clear of Russians The Japa-
nese are reported to be moving up
about thirty miles on either side Of the
railroad With view to surrounding
Mukden. but whether Kuropatkin will
accept an engagement or continue to
march northward will probably depend
at the decisive moment upon the tenn
per and condition of his troops.

BUTCHER WORKMEN
STRIKE CALLED OFF
Men Are Now Ready to Go
Back, If They Can Find
Work.
DONNELLYADMlTS DEFEAT
Skilled Men May Be Taken Back, But
Packers Say That Most of the
Places Have Been Satisfac-
torily Filled.

Chicago, Sept. 10.--The strike of the
Butcher Workmen's unions which has
dcmoraliZed the meat packing industry
throughout the country for the last two
months was officially declared off last
night by President Michael ]. Donnclly
of the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and
Butcher Workmen of America.
Mr.. Donnclly telegraphed the mem
bers of the national executive commit
tee asking their consent to the an
nouncement OF the end of the strike,
and last night, having received favor
able answers from all. he declared that
the strike of the members of his organ
iZatiOn would end at midnight.
The strike of the members Of the af-
fliated unions a the stock yards who
quit work in sympathy with the butch
ers will be officially called off at a
meeting of the conference board of the
allied trades This was decided upon
at meeting Of the central body of the
allied trades, held tonight. The gen
eral body was at first in favor of con-
tinuing the strike, but Mr.. Donnelly
who was present, announced that the
men were defeated. and that in order
to save his union from being entirely
disrupted he would order his men to
return to work in the morning, no mat
ter what course might be taken by
other unions. AS other unions had no
grievances, but had gone on strike to
aid the butchers, there was nothing
left for them but to follow the lead
of Mr. Donnelly and they, too. decided
to call off the strike as far as they were
concerned.
When the packers were notified to-
night that it had been decided to end
the strike they announced that they
would give places as far as possible to
the skilled men, but it was stated at
the same time that many Of these men
would be unable to secure their old
places, as in many cases the work was
being performed in satisfactory man
ner by men who had been secured since
the commencement of the strike.
1t is expected that the majority OF
unskiled men will be unable to secure
their old places again. 1t was a ques-
ton of wage scale for this class of mer
| that brought about the strike, the
packers refusing to sign an agreement
with any class other than skilled work
| men.
