Imperial Heading Stands Test.

It affords the Sentinel pleasure to state that the late high winters failed to injure the Imperial canal materially and that the surplus water was taken care of without loss to settlers. Speaking of the high water and of the condition ofthe Imperial country the Braw- ley News says: "Pres. Gleason. of water Go. No. ] returned this morning from Yuma, leaving there about three o'clock. He stated that the Colorado River had been higher thau at any time since the flood of 1891.a one foot higher than the highest flood water last year.
 He states that false reports are maliciously circulated at Yuma about the Imperial canal system,
 He went from Yuma down the river in a boat to the heading, and then twelve miles down the main canal.
 The river is nine and one-half feet higher than on his previous visit to Yuma, but only five feet more is entering the heading and the water is being so that at the Quail River waste gate, it is but seventeen inches higher than before. This, too, with the high floodwater in the Colorado River.
 The canal is not washed out and there is no damage beyond a few cuts in the levee, to allow the water waste over the coun- try. These can be repaired with few days work with the dred- ger

Territorial Prison.

The Globe Silver Belt submits the following sensible sugges- tions: ''The proposition for establishing a branch prison in some county of the territory far removed from Yuma is without merit and in line with the perni- cious policy of multiplying pub lie institutions and widely dis tributing them that the biennial footing of the territorial treasury may be more easily accomplish ed. The prison at Yuma should be enlarged and improved in it's appointments to meet the grow ing demands upon such a penal institution in Arizona"

Backed up by over a third of century of remarkable and uniform cures, a record nuch as no other remedy for the diseases and weaknesses peculiar to women ever attained, the proprietors and makers of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription now feel fully warranted in offering to pay Ssoo in legal money for any case of Leucorrhea. Female Weakness, Prolapsus, or Falling of Womb which they cannot cure. All they ask is fair and reasonable trial of their means of cure.
 Very often a married woman or young girl does not know who to turn to for ad- vice III circumstances where she dislikes to talk with the family physician about deli R. V. Pierce, chief consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo, N. Y., for free consultation and advice, and the same will be held as sa- credly confidential. It is foolish to consult women friends or persons without medical training.
 Dr. Pie-ce's Favorite Prescription con- tains no alcohol, is entirely vegetable and was the first exclusively wornan's tonic on the uarket-it has sold more largely iu the past third of century than any other medicine for women.
 All other compounds intended for women only are made with alcohol, or alcohol is . large compouent-this alcohol injures the nerves. The little red corpuscles of the blood are snrunken by alcohol. All such compounds, therefore, do harm.
 Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets invigorate the stomach, liver and bowels. Use them with the rFavoritc Prescription when a pill is required. One is c laxative, two, . mild cathartic.

Irrigation Inspection

Washington Special to Los Angles Times: One of the most important trips ever undertaken by any committees of Congress for the development of the West will be started from Omaha, Neb., next June, when the members of the Senate and House Commit. tees on Irrigation will start from Omaha for trip of inspection of various irrigation projects in the arid States. From Omaha the members of these two commit tees will go to Nevada, where on June 17th, which happens to be the third anniversary of the sign ing of the Reclamation Act, they will witness the turning of water into the irrigation works of the Truckee- Carson canal, which is the first project to be completed under the National Irrigation Act.
 From Ynma the committee will go to the irrigation works at Redlands and Riverside, and then visit Los Angeles, where it is ex- pected they will be 'ittingly en- tertained.
 From Los Angles the commit tee will go to San Francisco, and from San Francisco Q trip will be made into the Sacramento Valley, where there are possibilities for the largest irrigation works yet planned in any state or Terri tory. In this valley there are about ?, 5Oo,OOO acres to be re- clamed, and estimates upon the work (nothing but rough esti- mates have ever been made) show that the work will cost some thing like $4, 100000 and maybe more.
 The committee will then go through Northern California, Oregon, Washington, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming and Colorado.

Deserted Bride Suicides

The Los Angeles Examiner of the 18th tells the sad story of the death by swallowing carbolic acid, of Mrs. Harry Graham at a roomihg house in that city Sun day morning. Harry Graham, a mere youth, and his young wife came to, Yuma two or three monts ago and took employment in the Silver Moon Cafe. They wentsto Los Angles a few weeks ago and it seems that Graham deserted his wife, who had gone to work as a waitress iu Hotel Rosslyn. Mrs. Graham-left the following note, explaining her motive for self-destruction: "I can see nothing better in the fu- ture than there has been in the past" "she wrote, 'sMy life has been nothing but trouble and hard work. Ihave been an orph- an girl since two years of age. I have neverfound but one whom I thought I could love and trust. That was my husband, but 1 can not say where he is. or what was the matter. But I never expect to set eyes on him again ana can see nothing in the future to live for. |"

A Protest Against Annexation.

Arizona Legislature has for, warded to Congress 8 memorial protest against the segregation from Arizona and annexation to Utah of area in Arizona north of the Colorado River. It is con- tended that this is an important resource of the Territory, and that it would leave as a boundary line a@nver important for water power in the future development of Arizona, with possible future complications.
 Further it is contended it would divide interest in Grand Can on, the wonderful attraction hith- erto exclusively Arizona's. Pro- test is general against the area or any valuable resource, partic- .larly without affording her any equivalent for the diminution of her territory.

The Immigration of PanamB has been so vigorously pursued that not only the deadly microbe has flown but the citizens are medi- tating following him. An able bodied corps determined to clean up the most respectable part ol the city drove the citizens from their beds and their meals with the intolerable fumes of formal dehyde and sulphate of copper.
 The natives probably thought that the internal regions had broken loose.

ARlZONA'S NEW GOVERNOR,

Judge Joseph H. Kibbey was nominated for governor of Ari. zona by President Roosevelt and the appointment was sent to the senate for confirmation last Fri. day. The name of Judge Kibbey was not publicly associated with the position at first, and few people knew that he had con- sented to enter the lists until the appointment was announced.
 No wiser or more popular ap- pointment could have been made. In Yuma county the news of Judge Kibbey's elevation to the governorship was received with qualification and universal ap- prOval.
 Judge Kibbey was born in In diana; was admitted to prac : tice law at Richmond, in that state, in 1875. He came to Ari- zona in 1888, locating at Florence as attorney for local canal company. Removing to Phoe- nix in 1893, he there continued the practice of law successfully, and later served as one of the associated federal judges of the territory, making splendid rec ord as & wise and impartial judge. Tn 1902 he was elected to the legislative council from Maricopa county and was the foremost republican member of that body. In 1904 he was ap- pointed attorney general by Governor Brodie and held that position when appointed govern or. In politics Judge Kibbey is an uncompromising republican. Personally he is one of the most affable of men and popular with all classes. Having been so prominently connected with a long period of Arizona's up- building Judge Kibbey knows we'll the temper and wants of the people and is exceptionally we'll fitted to make an ideal governor.
 Judge Kibbey is prominently connected by marriage, Mrs. Kibbey being the daughter of John A. Burbank, first mayor of Falls'City, Neb., ex-governor of original Dakota and brother-in. law of Oliver P. Morton, the ia nous "war governor" of Indi- ana.

A Foolish Proposition

There is a movement on footin the legislature to deliberately wipe Pinal county from the map, by dividing it up between Pinal, Gila and Maricopa counties. This is q wrong and foolish piece of business. As a matter of fact Pima and Maricopa are large enough-too big. Pinal is thrif4 ty progressive county, with a most promising future. The ad vent of the Phoenix and Eastern railroad and the prospects of de- velopment from irrigation are acting as an impetus that will make of it one of The best count ies of the territory. This is no time to be dividing up or chang ing boundaries anyway; plenty of time for that when we get State hood. Let Pinal alone.

Sour Grapes.

Mr'F. G Ravens, formerly 8 resident of this county, but whose fortunes are now cast in the Imperial country, per mitted himself 10 be interviewed by the Imperial Standard and the interview is printed iu that paper of February 3rd. MT. Ravens is made to say a good many harsh things of the land and conditions in Yuma valley that are absolutely false-especially with reference to salt and alkali lands. However, as he has written letter to the president of the Water Users Association, Mir. Winsor denying the interview almost in toto, he will therefore be given the benefit of the doubt, leaving the responsibility for the false assertions with the Imperial paper. Considering the bad report of the Imperial district returned by the government soil experts year ago, which dwelt especially upon the large area of alkaline lands and their worth lessness in that district, such statements as appeared in the Standard are ridicu- lous. Especially so, because the same soil experts made thorough examina- tion of Yuma valley lands and their con- clusions dealt only in a casual way with the question of alkali. Thomas Means, the most noted soil expert in the govern ment service, stated that what little al- kali lands there were in this valley could be very easily cleared of the same by drainage and would give no trouble.
 The attitude of the Standard and the statements attributed to Mir. Ravens are in such striking contrast to the lib eral consideration accorded the Jmper- ial country by the local papers here that the only reason we can think of is ''!Sour Grapes. We trust the Imperial people may yet emerge from the cloud of com plications in which they are enveloped and reap the benefits of government irrigation equally with the Yuma valley
