OWING to the beavy rains of last week the Salt river is again on the rampage and doing a great deal of damage in the valley. The dam of the Arizona canal is again wrecked, the bridge Of the Santa Fe across the river near Tempe has been car rled out, and the head of the Ap- propriators' canal is ruined. Ow- ing to the devastation, and general cutting of communications. the management of the Territorial Fair have postponed the opening of the expedition to latter date, the official notice appearing in another column; and with 1t there follows postponement of meetings which had been called of the cat tlemen's association,the press asso- ciatlon, and . meeting for organiz- lbg a miners association, all hav- Ing been called for the week of the fair.

4 coMMENDABLE PROPOSITION.

The probabilities are that the next
 legislature will amend the incorpora-
 tion act as to make the territorial audit
 or the agent of all corporations and al-
 low that official to handle all the artie-
 les of incorporation, and turn the fees
 into the territorial treasury. This will increase the revenue of the Cowan hip almost double and will be very henefi- cial in many other ways. The Enter
 prise is of the opinion that such a meas llre will meet with the unqualified ap- proyal of the taxpayers Of Arizona. Y
 Arizona Enterprise.
 The position taken By the En- terprise is cminentIy correct. The territory and taxpayers thereof should have all the benefit possible from the liberal corporation laws that have been established here. The Territorial Auditor can just as well serve as resident agent for the many corporations which have been given life by the statutes of Arizona, and the fees paid agents can go into the public treasury All the duties of a resident agent are to accept service in case of legal proc .edings, and notify the company whenever service is made. For that he is paid ten dollars per annum Many thous- and dollars are annually paid res ldent agents which the territory might have, and should have.
 And while about it the territory would profit immensely by fixing Il small tax upon the capital sock of all corporations taking adyant- age of the liberal incorporation laws of Arizona. 1t is the extreme liberality of those laws which draws to Arizona the numerous in- corporations. The cheapness cuts no great figure. Exemption from personal liability of stockholders, { and other benefits not allowed by the incorporation laws of other states are what bring them. Tn addition to the present fees paid into the treasury for filing articles of incorporation, a small tax on capital would he as readily paid. 4 lax of ten cents upon each one thousand dollars Of capital repre- scented would put into the treasury one hundred dollars on very mil- lion dollars of capitalization. Cor porations with capital aggregating several million dollars daily are constantly filing their articles with the territorial auditor at Phoenix. The territory can just as we'll have q daily revenue from that source of at least five hundred dollars per day, which would reach close to two hundred thousand dollars within year. There is a pointer for legislators, when they come to revision of the corporation laws of Arizona

PLANT DISEASES
COST MILLIONS
PROF. FREEMAN BEGINS CAM
PAIGN AGAINST THEM.
University Retiring Assistant Botanist
Writes Book on Minnesota Plant
Diseases Intended as Means Of
Educating the Public and of Pre-
venting Present Enormous Losses.

Minnesota loses millions of dollars
annually thru the ravages of plant dis
eases. The announcement, therefore,
that a step-and a long one, TOBIAS
been taken toward reducing the de-
structiveness of the diseases common to
as good news The step referred to is
the publication Of book on Min
nesota Plant Diseases by E. M. Free
nan, Ph.D., retiring assistant professor
OF botany at the state university. This
places within reach of all concerned in
the cultivation of plants accurate and
detailed information as to plant dis
eases and means of prevention.
Professor Freeman says In the preface
to his book:
It is not the aim of this work to cata-
log all Of the ills that Minnesota plants
are heir to, but it's chief object is to dis
seminate knowledge of the destructive
parasites Of the useful plants OF this state,
to assist all concerned in the cultivation
of plants to a more intelligent and thoro
understanding of the habits Of these para
sites, and to point to established methods
of combating such diseases Recipes are
not the aim of such a Work-these are
of value and as such are introduced; but
by far the most valuable effort should be
the inculcation of the knowledge OF the
habits and life-stories of those organisms
which are the causes Of disease. upon
such knowledge, widely disseminated, can
be built substantial system of disease
prevention. s. ~. =. .
The professor, by beginning such a
campaign of education as he mentions,
will receive the thanks Of the people.
Professor Freeman calls attention,
also, to the fact that a systematic sur
vey of the plant diseases of the state,
sufficiently thoro to determine the full
extent of the damage due to, these 4 dis
eases, has not been possible. .'Ihe
Minnesota agricultural experiment sta,
tion,' he says, 'thas never employed
special plant patholost a ard the me rec rec
therefore, only fragmentary." Such a
survey as Professor Freeman. mentions
would seem to be needed, and OF great
value to the state. -
The book is compreh ensive, copiiously
illustrated and at tractively made W
for the purpose it is intended to serve
Professor Freeman is leaving the uni
| versity to enter the agricultural de
partment at Washington.

CHILDREN MADE
LIVING KITES
Tortured Butterflies by Tying
Them to the Ends Of
Threads.

Butterfly kites are the latest toys Of
the ingenious urchins who live and
make merry on the Bohemian flats.
With long string or thread fastened
securely around the bodies of the cap
tured insects, the thoughtless youths
while away the hours by watching the
struggles of their playthings as they
soar upward in vain attempts to regain
their freedom. The urchin with the
strongest butterfly and the longest
string is the hero Of his set and the
envy of his companions.
:. A few days ago Mrs. Hannah l.;
Farmer of the Humane society. and
Mrs. Starkweather, who is much inter
ested in humanitarian work, went down
to the flats on another errand. They
noticed group of excited children in:
tent upon what seemed to be flock of
butterflies. Closer inspection revealed
that the diminutive: men and women
were each holding fast to string or
ly fluttered tethered butterfly.
Asked as to what they were doing,
one little tad remarked that they We're
racing their kites-'' and" he ex.
claimed, with an unwonted chest ex;
pansion, "mine IS got 'em all
skinned!' ~. Z
The Humane society workers lost nc
time in calling halt upon the amuse.
ment, and one by one pulled down the
"kites'' and released the frightened
and suffering insects. Some Of the lit
tie butterflies were badly cut by the
threads and had to be killed. Others
were still unhurt, and when unfast
ened, darted away to freedom.
One little Bohemian was more unruly
than the others. He said that no one
could take his butterfly away from him
and started to run away. Mrs. Farmer
overlook him, and when he continued
to resist she showed him her star. That
was enough and, bursting into tears
the young hero ran wailing homeward
The children were all warned agains
continuing this form of sport on pen
atty Of being taken into the juvenile
court and punished severely.
