ARIZONA TOURS
The Flattering Price Which the First Issue Brought
 Yesterday

The territorial loan commis- sion yesterday accepted the bid ofSeasongood & Mayer, brokers of Cincinnati, Ohio, for the $25,- 900 bond issue ordered by the commission to refund certain Pima county indebtedness. There were several bids in answer to the advertisement. The bonds bear interest at 4per cent. They will mature in fifty years or may be redeemed at the option of the territory after twenty years. The bidders take the bonds at par and pay the expense of issu- ing them. This is equivalent to a premium of 3 percent.
 These are the first fours ever issued by the territory and the price obtained IS relatively the highest for which territorial bonds ever sold. The price IS equivalent to about 125 for five per cent bonds.
 Seasongood and Mayer are old buvers of Arizona S bonds. They were bidders for the first offered under the funding act but those bonds on account of a defect were never issued. Seasongood & Mayer have bid on almost ev- cry issue of bonds since.
 This Pima county indebtedness was incurred prior to 1887 and therefore came under the opera tion of the funding act.-Arizona Republican, Sept. 16.

MAKE RUBBER FROM CREASE WEED Despised Plant so Abundant in Arizona May Prove Basis of
 Big Industry

There is growing on the sandy hills and plains around Fl Paso in the greatest abundance, com mon, almost desplsed plant fla miliarly known as the "grease weed," which may some day in the near future become the raw material for a big industry-a rubber factory says the Fl Paso Times. Scientific men a short time ago discovered that the grease weed, the botanical name for which is guayaule, contains about 16 per cent rubber, and an exhaustive experiment conducted by Captain F. H. Hunicke, of Califol mia, has proved that the rubber can be readily extracted from the weed and is as good as that procured from the regular rubber plont.
 The Continental Rubber com- pany, the president of which is E. B. Aldrich, of Rhode Island, has decided to build i'll Mexico an immense plant for the manu- facture of rubber from the quay aule weed and has selected Tor reon as the spot. For sometime past the natives around Torreon have been gathering guayaule and selling it to theexperlmental plant. It is baled for shipment and much of it can be seen at the stations along the Mexican Gen. tral in and around Torreon, where it abounds.-A Albuquerque Journal.

RlV VALS PANAMA
 CANAL
Government Irrigation the Most Gi- gantic Engineering Work Ever
 Undertaken in History

By RICHARD HAMILTON BYRD.
 While the Panama Canal pro- ject with it's contemplated expen- diture within the next fifteen or twenty years of some 200 mill ion dollars is attracting wide public attention, an engineering work is being pushed along by the government, quietly but with great energy, which promises a showing III every way greater and eventually of more actual importance to the American na- tion than the Panama Canal.
 Uncle Sam is building great dams and canals throughout the arid west for the storage and use for irrigation of the heavy floods

 Wonderful Engineering Work
 In building these works some of the most remarkable engineer ing teats in the worlds history are being undertaken. Towering canyon sides arc being wedged together by giant dams which will endure for indefinite ages; deep canal cuts are being made through the living rock; huge tunnels are being bored through mountains of solid granite, and rivers are being lifted from their natural courses and diverted in- to other rivers. Waters flowing into the Arctic Ocean are being made to drain into the Gult of Mexico.

nation and fertilization of the waste and desert places of the country. Seven huge projects are already in actual course of construction and others have been approved by the Secretary of the Interior which will require an expenditure of forty-four mill ion dollars. The money at pres ent available in the Treasury fer this work is over twenty-five mil lion dollars and the fund is grow ing rapidly. 1t is continually augmented by the sale of public lands and when it is realized that under the irrigation law, the cost of the government works must be paid back to ike govern ment by the settler, so that the money can be used over and over again, it can be seen that there will be no lack of funds for the prosecution of these great gov ernment works.
 Still the Biggest Land Owner.
 Although the government has disposed of over a billion acres it still owns nearly half a billion acres, called the public lands, and it was a wise enactment which provided for the storage ofwaste waters and the improvement of this great property. Conserva- tive officials estimates place the land which can be reclaimed at over 70 million acres. Allowing the estimated area necessary to support one person, including cities and towns, at one acre, this would eventually place in the western half of the United States a population nearly as great as that of the entire coun- try to-day
 The productive capacity fwes- tern irrigated soils is enormous for during the ages no heavy rains have leached away the fer tility and again the waters them selves carry a large amount of fertilizing matter or sediment.
 Also, the irrigation farmer can apply his moisture Tn the exact amounts and at the exact times desired and the result is that un- heard of yields become the rule, nor is there ever crop failure.
 The public lands under the gov ernmenu projects are subject to homestead entry by any citizen in so or 16O acre tracts. The settler thus gets his land free of cost but he must agree to pay back to the government the ac- tual proportionate cost of the water supply. The following ta- ble shows the projects which are now under actual construction:

Washington, June 19.-Practically nc
new developments were observable to-
dsy in the negotiations for peace be-
tween Russia and Japan. President
Roosevelt, for day or two, has been
deeply engrossed in other matters and,
while he has not for a moment lost sight
of the arrangements for bringing to-
gether the Far Eastern belligerents, he
has realized fully that the next move in
the great game of diplomacy now being
played was with the contending nations
themselves. That move is the selection
of the ENJOYS to represent them at the
Washington conference.
AMBASSADORS AT WHITE HOUSE.
Both Minister Takahira, of Japan,
end Ambassador Cassini, of Russia,
called on the President this afternoon.
Neither would discuss his interview
with the President. 1t is known, how
fever, that they were not of great i'm
= /portance. Each of the diplomats pre-
sented to the President official advices
from his government expressive Of the
satisfaction felt at both St. Petersburg
and Toxic over the selection of Wash
ington as the seat of the peace confer
ence.
Whether the conference will actually
sit in Washington or not, has not beer
determined positively, as it is detail
which will be left to the envoys them
selves by their respective governments,
1t is said that no decision will be reach
ed on that point until the conferees
meet here and organize. If the weather
in Washington at that time should be
unfavorahle to continued sittings in this
city, it will be within the authority o1
the plenipotentiaries to adjourn 10 some
other city.
During the past few days the Presi
dent has received as many as hundred
letters suggesting various cities in the
rcountry as desirable places for holding
the conference. 1t can be said that the
President will not permit himself to b
drawn into the discussion Of this subjec

An Artist at TazeweIl.

Mr.. Edwin Farmer of New York,
came to Tazewell last Thursday and
since that time has been the guest of
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. c. Pendleton. Mr..
Farmer is regarded by many musical
people as one of the most accomplished
pianists on the American continent. He
certainly has no superior in this country.
Five years of his life were spent at the
Leipzig Conservatory, where he held
the piano scholarship for four years,
being the first American to capture that
honor. He also won the Helbig Prize,
which is the sweepstakes prize at that
conservatory. He then studied for one
year under a celebrated teacher at
Florence, Italy. After his return to
America he was for three years director
of the piano department at the Indian
apolis conservatory of Music, from
which place he received and accepted
a call to the Peabody Institute at Balti=
more, where he directed the piano de-
partment for three years, He resigned
that position and returned to Europe,
spending two years at post graduate
work in Dresden and Berlin. Since
his return from Berlin Mr.. Farmer has
been located in New York and has there
won much distinction as an artist and
teacher.
Mr.. Farmer will spend the balance of
the Summer at Wytheville, Va, where
he will conduct class in piano-study
during the months of July and August.
He had large class at Wytheville last
Summer, and his work there was most
successful.

Rouvier energies from the controversy
with the advantage of having brought
Germany to exactly define the scope OF
the conference, and so to rid it of the
objection of being a menace to French
interests.
Berlin, June 19.-No adequate view
of the German feeling over the Moroc-
can affair can be presented without
making note of the very general belief
in naval circles that Great Britain is
serking an excuse to check the great
progress which is making in the Ger
man Sea armament. This belief is
widely expressed among naval officers
of all classes. 1t is their view that
Great Britain would be willing that
France should suffer defeat on land if
Britain thereby was given a chance to
destroy the German navy.
AS result of this feeling there is
great activity in the German navy.

WHAT IS A
SAYINGS BANK ?
The American National Bank Of Graham
Is the Only Institution Of This
KiHd in This Community.

The use of the savings bank is not
fully understood by all, it is one of
those institutions that does more real
service to community than can readily
be appreciated. In every community
there a number of people who have
small sums of money and no means of
using it to an advantage. The savings
bank affords the means of utilizing
these funds, one man has five dollars,
another fifty dollars, another more, and
another less, these sums when placed
together in bank can be loaned out so
as to pay interest. The savings bank
is the means of getting these small
sums together and loaning them out
safely, there are many people who
would be pleased to receive interest on
their money for a short time.\ The
American National Bank, of Graham,
Virginia, is the only institution in this
community that has savings depart
ment in which interest is paid, you re-
ceive three per cent. on all accounts
placed in this department in this bank,
The habit of saving formed in early
life is the foundation of many fortune.
Thrifty people patronize the savings
banks and prosper, the department OF
savings is a special feature with this
bank, it has many large deposits, it has
many small deposits, and all draw the
same rate of interest.
1t may be interesting to great many
people to know in connection with the
sayings bank proposition that the larg-
est and most influential banks in the
world are interest paying banks, for ex-
ample; The National City Bank, Of
New York, with One Hundred and
Eighty Million Dollars on deposit; The
National Bank of Commerce, of New
York, with One Hundred and Thirty
nine Million dollars on deposit; The
First National Bank, of New York,
with Ninety-one Million Dollars on de-
posit; The National Park Bank, of New
York, with Eighty-two Million Dollars
on deposit; The Hanover National Bank,
of New York, with Fifty-seven Million
Dollars on deposit; The Chase National
Bank, of New York, with Fifty-two
Million Dollars on deposit,
The combined deposits of these six
banks, alone, aggregate over six hun
dred million dollars, which is more
money than is on deposit in all of the
banks of Virginia and West Virginia
combined, and these banks have become
the largest in the world, and retain
their position as such by paying interest
on deposits. These are very large
figures and will interest a great many
people who are contemplating starting
bank account, or moving their account

and the government will not attempt to
interfere in any way with the choice OF
the conferees of place of holding their
conferences. 1t is regarded as proba-
BILE that this city will be at least the
scene of the beginning and the ending
of the conference, although the inter-
vening sessions may be held elsewhere.
1t will be known in diplomatic history,
therefore, as already stated, as the
Washington Conference" and the
convention, if one be formulated, will
be the Treaty of Washington.
