Boring For Water on Desert Land

Dick Wick Hall, erstwbile politician and journalist, was here yesterday from Salome, the new town on the de- sert in the north end of Yuma county, to transact business before the local land office.
 Hall says that the Arizona & Cali fornia railroad now has twenty eight miles of track laid west from the junc- tion near Wickenburg with the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix road. Thirty six miles have been graded, and rails will be laid at once.
 The contractors are daily adding to the Dumber of men at work, and are rushing construction with all possible speed, their present destination being a point on the Colorado river, about ten miles above Parker. From there the road will be built to the Santa Fe main line near Needles.
 The Salome section has had ever heavier rains than Prescott. and the desert in that section stands knee high in wild hay. Hall estimates that there are 100, 900 tons of wild hay OF the sandy wastes. There being no water other than that which falls, it is a difficult matter to keep a harvesting crew there, and none of the hay is be- ing cut.
 At Saleme Mir. Hall and those inter ested with him have a crew of men at work drilling water wells. Thus far their efforts have been fruitless. One we'll was sunk about 250 feet and then abandoned. Another we'll is nov down over 300 feet without any signs of water.
 Hall gives it as his opinion that the water is there, but that it is at considerable depth, owing to the dip in the formation near Salome. Those boring the we'll are determined to keep at it until they find water.
 Salome is the center of an agricul- tural and mineral section that has been little developed. Prospecting in the hills shows that there is mineral, but its extent must be determined by sinking shafts.
 Advices from Washington, DC, are that Salome has just been made a post office with Miss Etta von Stauffer as postmistress.

 The warrant was placed in Sheriff Lowry's hands, and within a very short time Sing was before Justice Talbot. Assistant District Attorney Pattee was on hand with law books and store of information bearing on this particular case.
 Sing undertook to plead his own case, and in doing so he told all that was charged against himself, beside tangling his story into such shape that it convulsed all inthe court room in laughter.
 The result was the conviction of Sing, who was fined sl5. Of this amount SlO goes to the school, being g 5O each from Sing and his three employees. It is said that fully 2OU Chinamen live in Prescott, but that less than forty of them have been pay ing school taxes.

Climate Report For Last Week.

l.. \. Jesunofsky, director of the Arizona weather bureau at Phoenix has just issued his first weekly bulle- tin. Previous to this time these bull letins have been issued monthly.
 The United States department oi agriculture, climate and crop bulletin of the weather bureau, Arizona section, for the week ending, Monday, April 10, is in part as follows:
 Temperatures ranged below normal during the first three days of the week. Copious and local showers and thunderstorms occurred in the south ern counties on Saturday and Sunday.
 Weather conditions were highly favorable for all interests, excepting light and heavy frosts in the northern counties early ID the week, which has checked the growth of fruit and vege- tables.
 In Coconino and the southern DOT tions of Apache, Navajo and Yavapai counties farming operations were de- layed somewhat by the heavy rains of the past few weeks; the ground being, as yet, too wet for blowing.
 Wheat and barley are backward in the northern countries, owing to the period of abnormal cold and the deep covering of snowfall during the last days of March and the first few days of this month.
 Flowing and seeding is in progress S in the northern counties and garden truck improved greatly over those sec tious, under the influence of the br ght and warm days during the lat ter part Of the week. Potatoes, can taIoupes and watermelons planted ex- tensiyely in Maricopa, Pima, Gila and Yayapai counties, and now up to good stands.
 Ranges are in excellent condition; in some sections grass is SO high as to cut off the view of the cattle entirely. Stock is healthy and fat. Water is plentiful for ali purposes; and, at this report, is being very little used for ir- rigation.

ART EXHIBIT IS
 WORTH VIEWING

To see the best of the work by the great painters, both living and dead, IS not often possible in Prescott. Just such an opportunity is presented by the ladies of the Monday club at an exhibition they are giving in the aud 1torium of the high school building.
 Hung on screens in the auditorium are copies of the great paintings that are objects of constant interest, in the centers of art in the new and old world. They have already been view ed by a number of Prescott's s artistic peoIle, but not as many as the Mon day club hopes will see them before theexhibition closes Saturday evening.
 Mrs. W. W. Ross, president of the Monday club, explained last night that these pictures are rented for a stipulated sum. All above the run ming expenses is used in the purchase of large pictures of the public school, i've of which were secured last year, and now adorn the walls of the audi torium.
 To view these pictures with the ald of a guide book, which can be obtain ed at the exhibition room for five censt, is an education in itself. Each copy is an exact reproduction of the original, all the color and harmony being preserved. Some of them are tinted in natural colors, which pro duces pleasing effect.
 The exhibition was on last night, and a number of Prescott people drop ped in during the evening. It will be repeated this evening. A musical pro gram is being arranged for.
 On Saturday afternoon between , and 6 o'clock the rooms will be open, and it is expected that the largest number yet in attendance will be on hand. The ladies are charging p cents admission, which is an unusual Iy low price for such an event.

sunofsky from Yavapai correspondents are as follows:
 Cornville-Alfalfa and small grain doing we'll; stock thrived well through out the winter months. Feed for cat tleis plentiful, and ranges were never in better condition before. Truck gardens are being made. Light frosts past few nights have done no injury s. c. Dikenson.
 Notwithstanding the un- usually heavy rain fall here since January l, last-upwards of 2S inches the last heavy shower that fell packed the surface of the ground so compact that, when dried, it left hard crust alike unfavorable to growth of grass on the range or the germina tion of seed in the gardens. In spite of this, however, the ranges are in good condition; live stock is putting on fat, and gardens being put in good shape.-M. J. Nolan.
 Skull Valley-Favorable weather; ground in good condition for blowing; grain coming up nicely, with pros poets of good stand. More corn plant ed than for many years previous; gar den truck coming up. E. Somerville.
 Yarnell-Plowing is general; fruit trees are all in bloom; the stands of wheat and barley are good; corn planting will commence later. The country in general is in good Condi ton to raise crops.-L. Walloth.

Prescott PIeases Mir. Frank 4. Jones

"The more 1 see of Arizona the more I am surprised and the more l am pleased, 'said Frank A. Jones, who recently became general freight and passenger agent of the Santa Fe, Pres colt & Phoenix road, yesterday.

 Mir. Jones had just returned from a visit to Phoenix with Il. P. Anewalt, and unexpectedly found the Salt Riv- CT valley to be one in which large crops of grain, hay, alfalfa, fruit and garden truck are raised.
 The recent rains have caused vegeta- tion of all kinds to spring forth lux uriantly Tn the Salt River valley, and Mir. Jones' introduction to it took place at time when nature is making an effort to outdo herself.
 ''I came to Arizona,'' said MT. Jones again, "expecting to find a barren waste, with an occasional spring where people came to drink or die of thirst on the bleached wastes.
 "In the Salt River valley they told me that about 200, Oo0 tons of hay are likely to be damaged if the rain keeps up. It surprises me to learn that they raise so much hay in any one place in Arizona and that there is a possibility of so much rain falling that it will do damage.
 ''I saw much fine country between here and Phoenix, which with irriga- tion should even outshine California. I believe that some day this will all be under cultivation. 1t would be- come one of the richest farming and fruit districts of the west with water.
 ''Heavy rains are injuring the road beds to some extent, and for that reason trains are running behind time. We had rather delay traffic than i'm peril the lives of our passengers or risk the destruction of valuable prop erty."
 Mir. Jones will leave here next Fri day to go to Fresno. where he will ar range to bring Mrs. Jones and their household effects to Prescott to make this place their future home.

lows:
THE question of good government
in America is essentially a moral and
only incidentally a political one. What
the friends of good government in
America have to do is much less to
devise methods for the efficient and
economical administration of public
affairs than to clearly and frequently
set forth and constantly and forcibly
impress on the attention of their fell
low citizens the true and admitted
ends and principles of government and
the daily manifest and grievous derilic-
tons of duty on the part of public Off
GERS and of the voters.
Our aim is to spare Americans
shame at the government of their
country; to rescue the noblest work
of our polity from its basest hands;
to root out national vices which
threaten to make us political sodom
among Christian people,
