ROSS TURNED DOWN.

State Land Commissioner E. w.
Ross is on his way home. He has
been defeated. The department
will not approve the state selection
amounting to $1,000 acres in Yak
ina county under the Carey law.
In order to let Mr.. Ross down easy
it is reported that the decision has
been postponed until the commiss-
ioner can secure evidence to show
that the Sunnyside people have a
water right sufficient to irrigate the
lands, but as matter Of fact the
decision has been made up, it is TN
favorable, and the scheme to keep
the government out of the Yakima
valley has received its quietus.
The decision is a righteous one.
1t is one for which every citizen Of
the Yakima country, and every
friend of irrigation in the state
ought to be truly thankful. The
theory of the Carey law was wrong
Irrigation by the state was never
desirable, and it is less so now than
ever because the federal govern
ment has taken up the work the
state was not prepared to do as it
ought to be done and is doing it
right. In this particular case, rank
tobbery and great injustice to the
irrigationists of the state, as we'll as
shameless graft, were concealed
behind an alleged attempt to secure
valuable tract of land for the state
As matter of fact, instead of be.
ing an attempt to secure something
for the state the plan to have these
selections approved was an attempt
to put hundreds of thousands of
dollars into the Golfers of corpora
ton, and to turn over to a corpora
ton without recompense the most
valuable water privileges in the
state.
1t was openly charged that some
of those in public were bought to
bring this deal to successful con-
clusion. Probably there is no di-
rect evidence to substantiate the
charge which can be produced.
Those who made it must stand on
y.he fact that persons who ought to
ave been defending the interests

interests of the corporation, and

SOUTHWESTERN SYSTEM HAS
 TOO MANY PRIVATE CARS.

As regards it's private car equipment the Southwestern system probably stands without an equal in the south west, having so large a supply of pri- vate cars that under the consolidation there is no possible use for a number of them.
 Three of the private cars have been stripped of their silver and other re- movable fittings, and are out of com mission at present. Among the pri- vate cars of the Southwestern are the Nacozari, San Pedro, Cloudcroft, Ala. magordo, Sacramento and Paso del Norte.
 In view of the fact that the South. western has only a cafe service and has no dining car, it is sad to be like ly that one of the private cars may be remodeled for use as a diner On the occasion of the Elks' trip to Buffa. 10 and on the recent Arizona excur. sion to Cloudcroft, tte advantage of a dining car in addition to the cafe parlOr cars has been apparent.

There was considerable excitement
 in the vicinity of the Spray mine early yesterday morzing, due to the disap- | pearance of the lunch bucket of a
 miner named Connor. It went away ! in the hands of an unknown man, who
 was pursued for some distance by Con nor before he suddenly disappeared.
 On returning to the mine Connor re-
 ported the sudden disappearance of the man with the lunch bucket. and a number of people who had been at 1 tracted by the flight of the two men and the loud cries of Connor to the
 man ahead of him to stop or he would shoot formed a searching party and
 went out to see if they could find any one. The suppositiOn at the time was that the man who got away with the bucket had fallen into one of num- erous crevices ip the ground, occasion ed by the mine workings giving way below, or into one of several old shafts in the vicinity.
 The search was fruitless further than discovery of the bucket. which was sitting upright in the path that the two men had raced over. The be- lief is that the fleeing man dropped it. though it did not seem possible to the finders that he could have done so without turning it orer. The bucket was taken back to Connor, who receiv- cd it just at his lunch time. He then remembered that he had left a dollar in his trousers in the change room be- fore going down to his work, and ascended to the change room to see if the money was there. It was not. and the mysteries of the night as well as the indignation of COnnOrs were added to.
 At the time the lunch bucket was picked up Connors was in the change room. He had lett the bucket sit ting outside. Hearing some noise there he stepped to the door just in time to see the man with the bucket getting under good headway. Hot pursuit followed, with the result above told. It was bright moonlight at the time Of the chase, and Connors had bis man well in sight all the time un- til he suddenly disappeared as if swal- lowed up by the earth. Northing further being in sight to follow and Connors being much cut of breath he and returned to the shaft without further search.
