PHILIPPINE SUGAR TAX.

An entirely fresh light has been thrown on the question of the Philippine tariff by the ap- pearance in Washington of Gov ernor Luke Wright, who has spent nearly six years in the islands altogether, and who is now home for the first time in three years. Primarily he is supposed to be resting and talk ing vacation. As matter of fact he has been for nearly a fortnight before the ways and means committee of the house every day, listening to the testi- mOny that has been given on the subject of the insular tariff and waiting to put in his word on the subject. Now this word is, ac- cOrdlng to some Ot Governor Wright's private remarks since he has been in Washington, that the subject of Philippine free trade is the biggest bugaboo that has been sprung recently on the American public. Instead, as has been stated before the com
 mittee, of the Philippines being able to produce 600,000 tons more of export sugar than is consumed in the United States, Governor Wright says that they will be lucky if they are able to export 300,000 tons per annum at the end of five years. The United States, by the way, con- sumes close to 2,O00, 1000 tons an nually. His explanation for this state of affairs is that the islands have neither the land nor the labor for tlooding the American
 markets TiCh raw sugar. Ihe tobactC saoation, he says, IS just about the same as the sugar.

done by means of three ten=foot concrete tunnels, steel lined, their tops several feet below the bottom of the river channel.
 Beside the land to be irrigated by this canal, in the vicinity of Yuma are about 90,000 acres that can be brought under culti- vation by raising water from the river. It is proposed to irrigate 25,000 acres of these lands by raising water from the main ca ual on the Arizona side, power being furnished by electrical en- ergy generated at or near the dam.
 In the low lands in the river bottom near Yuma now is being constructed a long levee that will save the farms from over
 flow in time of high water. Twelve miles of this levee is al ready under construction.
 Already irrigating a compara- lively small expanse of land back of Yuma and down the riv- CT are several canals locally con trolled, that will probably be acquired by the land owners un der the terms of the irrigation act. One of these canals secures it's water through the lift from the Colorado at Yuma. Up the Gila river within the county are a number of farming communl- ties with small irrigation sys- tems. One of the earliest water storage projects known was commenced on the Gila years ago, but went to pieces before actual construction work was begun. It is a curious fact that few corporate irrigation enter prises ever have been successful. This south Gila project is now being revived.

A New Railroad.

Late news is to the effect that definite plans have been formed that will give San Diego the eastern railway outlet she has so long coveted. The Ell Paso and Southwestern, which is now completed between El Paso and Benson, is controlled by the Copper Queen management. This concern has a line from Phoenix to Florence, and it is stated that the connecting link will be completed in the near future. It is then proposed, it is alleged, to build on through to the coast, with San Diego as a terminal; and it is further stated that the management is confident of completing the line within two years. There is no question as to the ability of the company to furnish funds for the enterprise, the Phelps Dodge Company, owners of the El Paso and Southwestern, having the immense revenues of the Copper Queen mines and smelters of Bisbee and Douglas at their command. The parent road, the El Paso and Southwestern, is unique in standing among rail, roads m the fact that it bears not dollar of indebtedness in bonds or otherwise. With the driving of the last spike the last dollar owing by it was paid.
 As has been previously shown two routes have been under con- sideration by this road to the coast; one from Benson, it's pres ent terminal, to Phoenix, Yuma and San Diego by way of Impe- rial, and an alternative route from Falrba nks, nine miles west of Tombstone, directly west to Yuma and Imperial, thence on to San Diego. The last named route has been reconnoitered for the second time within the past year, and in view of the strong hold over the Phoenix territory held by the Santa Fe and South ern Pacific systems, it would seem the more likely route of the two to be adopted by the Ell Paso and Southwestern in it's march to the coast for the acqui- sition of the coming oriental traffic.

How Badgers Dig.
AT SHOREY'S

During the daytime the badger sleeps deep in his burrow, far out on our western plains and prairies, and at twilight he starts forth on nights foraging. He is a dreaded enemy of the prai- rie dog and the ground squirrel; and when he begins to excavate for one nothing but solid rock or death can stop him. With the long, blunt claws of his fore feet he loosens up the dirt. Dig! Dig! Dig! He works as though his life depended on it, now scratching out the sides of the hole, then turning on his back to work overhead. At first he throws the dirt out between his hind legs, but soon he is too far that, so he banks it up back of him, then turns about and, using his chest and forward parts as a pusher, shoves it out before him.
 He works with such rapidity, says St. Nicholas, that it would be somewhat difficult for man to overtake him with spade.

There are two good tobacco provinces in the archipelago, and outside of these the bulk of the tobacco raised, aside from being a very coarse crop, is used ex- clusively for home consumption. The tobacco manufacturers in Manila want the crop at the lowest possible prices, quite nat urally from their viewpoint. So they are in the van of the nght to keep the American tariff from being lowered. Now the ques- tion naturally arises, if these things be true why should Gov ernor Wright or anyone else be interested in lowering the tariff? He explains it by saying that the low tariff will help trade in gen eral and there is big export business in hemp and copra, much of which goes to France for manufacture which had just as we'll come to the United States while we had just as we'll sell the 10,0O0,00O Filipinos what they need as to have this trade scattered among the nations of Europe where it does us no good. If Governor Wright's statements are accurate, and there is little cause to believe they are not, we are nursing the tariff bogey with a vengeance, and much to our own disadvantage. But as usual the vested interests are keeping au active lobby at the capitol, and no one else seems to care.
