r last year it reached nearly, the mill lion dollar mark. However, ft Is said to be true that, while the imported article is in greater demand than ever before. 1t is scarcely in more extensive use in this country than 1t was a few years ago. Those who use it, simply use more of 1t. In the case of domestic waters the demand is be- coming all the time the more exten- sive. This fact indicates to the statistician that the American people are becoming the more careful. as the years go by. that the water which they use Is absolutely wholesome and pure, or as near absolute purity as water may be. They have learned that pure water means, in a great majority of instances. good health, and they are willing to pay the price as insurance on their physical condi- ton.

TO FILL IN THE EAST RIVER.
Joining Brooklyn to Manhattan With
 out Tunnels or Bridges.

The oft-advanced plan to fill in the East river from the Battery to Harlem, thus adding a tract of land to New York city nearly eight miles long, has crept to the fore again. This time 1t is being given not only serious but important attention, and, wild as the plan may at first seem, there are possibilities that in the near future the work will begin.
 If the idea should bear fruit and work should be actually commenced on it. the most gigantic feat of en- gineering in the history of the world would confront the engineers. Over three billion cubic feet of water would have to be removed, and the space left filled with solid land. The cost Is almost beyond computation, but no matter how great 1t could be met, and at profit to the city, for the land thus made would be worth huge sums.
 Manhattan Island, in the opinion of every one. has reached It's height as habitable island. Business houses are gradually pushing the residence districts into more and more limited space, and the population is sure to decline in favor of the suburbs in a very short time. Tunnels and bridges are not to be compared to dry land as a means of travel. and the East river stands in the way of Long Islands development for just this reason.
 Prominent engineers are estimat- ing the cost of tnis great undertak- ing. suggestions are being made for financing the scheme. and In these days of great works quickly begun 1t need surprise none to wake up some morning and find thousands of men at work pillng tons of earth and rocks into the river.

MONDAY, AUGUST IS. 1906.

The National Hardwood Lumber association at it's recent meeting in Memphis adopted a report that pre- sented the dire possibilities of the de- struction of the forest in the short period of thirty-five years. It was estimated that there now stood in the United States in the neighbor- hood of 1,475,0O0,0 ,00O,OO0 feet of lumber, but that 45,000, 100000 feet of lumber was being cut every year. The report recommended that some thing must be done and done inn mediately. Recommendation were made by the report for the prohi- bition of log exports and the exemp- tion from taxes of tree plantations. Attention was called to desirability of state legal enactments along the last line and some constitutional pro- vision by the general government of like effect Mention was made of the custom prevailing in France of requiring tree to be planted for every tree cut down.

MINERAL WATERS.
Demand for Them Increasing Every
 Day in This Country.

Washington, Aug 13.-Indulgence in the festive high ball' has ere
 ated in this country an enormous de
 mand for various mineral waters and they have become, in the pas, two or three years, an immense item in Americas national drink account
 Statistics just compiled by the geological survey indicate that the American people spent last year
 nearly $7,000.000 for various natural waters. The business of marketing
 this product of nature has assumed great proportions and 1t is increasing
 wonderfully every year. Individuals companies and corporations now are engaged in placing mineral waters
 before the people in most attractive
 form and the demand for them is in creasing astonishingly. Many years
 will pass, of course, before the de-
 mand for them will even approximate in value the demand for beer, or for wine or for whiskey. The consump- tion of natural waters, in fact, never will attain the proportion of any of these, beverages, either in point of quantity or of money value. for the majority of the people always will poses. The statistics show, however, that the increase in the use of min- eral waters has been largely in the cities. much of the product being sold in hotels and bars where liquors or dinarily are sold.
 It is remarkable that the general use of mineral waters was not no- ticed by statisticians particularly un- til about sixteen years ago. Figures were compiled on the subject more than twenty years ago, but the use of the waters then and, in fact. until about 1890, showed little demand. Tn 1883, the natural waters sold in the United States amounted to 7.- 529,423 gallons, the aggregate value of which was s1.119, ,603. In 1902, the sale of natural waters reached its highest figures. amounting to $s.- 634.17S, and 1t has lowered around that mark each year since.
 Of the various states which pro- duce mineral waters-natural wa ters, be 1t Wisconsin is in the lead. New York and Califor- mia each produce about half as much as Wisconsin and are second to 1t in amount. The Waukesha Springs of Wisconsin have fairly outstripped the famous Saratoga springs of New York in point of demand commercial ly.
 Those who now promote various natural waters do so precisely as a manufacturer of champagne places his wine before the public Agents of high class. socially. are employed to Introduce" the wa ters and to persuade people to use them- These agents receive fancy salaries. They do much of their work by simply calling for the par ticular water they represent at hotels pr at public bars This has been found to create a demand for the beverage. The result Is that some of the owners of mineral springs have jumped from poverty to afiu- ence in a few years The product is easy to market and the money re- reived from it's sale is precisely like Ending money in the street.
 While the consumption of domes- 'fc mineral waters is increasing that of imported waters also s incressing- Six years ago the ar Iregzte vsIue of imported vatsrs wss little noft than eSoe.eoo c ysar:

HUGHES AND HEARST.

When it is stated that the voters of New York have. now to choose between Charles E. Hughes and William R. Hearst for governor, the one issue of the campaign is summed up. That is the whole of it. To talk in that state of parties is as idle as the blowing of the breeze. The labored platforms of either convention are already in the waste basket, utterly forgotten. MT Hughes himself put the case with lu- cidity and precision in his speech of acceptance last night when he said that the political contest now opening is one to defend the honor of the state and to represent the common sense of the people and the cause of decent gov ernment. All that newspaper or orator can do is to point the people to Hughes and Hearst. bid them look on this pie ture and then on that. But it is not certain that the voters will make good use of their eyes. The fear in financial circles Of the outcome of the struggle is expressed in the latest financial cir cular of J. s. Bache & Co. of New York. a week after the two conventions:
 The political situation is not clear. It has even been said that this is purely a political stock market. MT. Hughes, the honest, independent and unpledged leader. has been selected to lead the forces against Hearstism, but Wall street will experience many a chill be- fore election day, and the leader of socialism, radicalism and public own ership will use every means known in politics to win the governOrsnfp. We firmly believe that the sober good sense of the people will win out. But, reviewed from stock market point, uncertainty will no doubt prevail until the votes are counted. We must al: remember the surprise in the municipal campaign last year. when Hearst lost by only few thousand votes the office of mayor of Greater New York"

If by some unhappy chance Colonel Allen Teebird were removed. the state hood campaign would be deprived of much Of it's radiant gayety. and the
 hilarity which now marks the struggle would give place to grave-Iike gloom.
 Colonel Teebird has discovered reasons for jointure that his most acute-nOsed associates had passed over It was Colonel Teebird to whose observing eye became apparent the deleterious effect of a territorial form of govern ment on the pumpkin patch of Dr. Mark A. Rodgers. Colonel Teebird has now divulged that the republican con gresslonaI campaign text book was compiled with special reference to and expressly for the benefit of the joint ists of Arizona in their noble struggle
 to strike the shackles of the corpora tions from Dr. Rodgers pumpkins. Colonel Teebird has further encouraged the congressional committee with the assurance that it is not alone in it's struggle for the liberty and the en- franchisement of the pumpkin but that it has the backing of a veteran Phoe- nix newspaper man who is pouring hot shot into the ranks of the sharks who are robbing Arizona and fighting

For Delegate to Congress Wm. F. Cooper
ALL's WELL THAT ENDS WELL.

ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL.
 Though the jointists HbeIed Arr zona when they wrote 10 President Roosevelt that the joint statehood vote in this territory would not be fairly counted they. after all performed a possible service to the cause of anti joint statehood in two ways. They again unmasked their dishonest meth ods and when the more the voters see of them the still less are they in clined to jointure.
 The most valuable service they per formed in laying their dark charges of intended fraud before the president was to attract his attention to the need of safeguarding the New Mexican ballot about which, we on this side, had been but little concerned since we have been aware that We would fully and finally dispose of the joint statehood business ourselves.
 But the presidents directions to Governor Hagerman, unintentionaHy called out by the lying accusation Of the Arizona Joint Statehood League against their neighbors will have the possible effect of procuring for tho anti-joint statehood vote in New Mex ico a fair count. A result of such a count may be the defeat of jointure there. Though such a result would be by no means essential. t would be t, yl now we think, within the range of pos abilities
 We have all along thought, 'r a rather disinterested way. that if a fair election could bc held in c:ew Mexico anti-jointure would prevail Later de- velopments have strengthened that be lief.
 For instance. at the territorial re- publican convention at Los Vegas. last week, jointure resolutions were adopt ed by a vote of only a little more than two to one. Those who know anything about political methods in New Mexico will understand how lit tie that vote necessarily represented public sentiment in the territory That convention was even more notorious than any of its predecessors. It was composed of delegates mostly selected by federal office holders and political corruptionists who had been discharg- ed from county and territorial offices for proved or suspected dishonesty
 The democratic county conventions have disclosed in that party a strong opposition to jointure. The great mass of the voters of both parties have no. been heard from. Their very silence may be interpreted as unfavorable tc jointure.
 Thanks to the jointists of Arizona these silent voters may be given ar opportunity for expression at the polls Thus it may be that that infamous islander against Arizona with a pur- pose of injuring Governor Kibbey ma, after all. have served a worthy pur- pose.

The territorial fair will be held in six weeks and thousands of people will be here from all. over the territory and from adjoining states and territories. There is a great deal that Phoenix can get out of the fair in the way of val uabIe advertisement but there must be some effort on the part of Phoenix. In the first place the town must not appear as ragged and dirty as it is now. The streets and alleys will prob ably be put in order by the council but individual citizens must look after the unsightly vacant lots and private places of waste and desolation.

School Is Proposed.

ST. PETER. MlNN.-A proposition to bond
this city fer $50. 300 will be submitted to the
voters at the annual school election. to be held
July 81. The money is needed TO erect new
high school building. and all that is necessary
is the Endorsement of the taxpayers.
:. If the bonds carry it is the purpose OF the
board to begin the building operations next
spring. BY that time the present bonded in
debtedGess will have been cleared away. On the
first of this month So. 900 was taken up, and
similar payment will made Aug. l. year
hence the remainder Of, the outstanding bonds
amounting to $4,uO3, will mature, but they can
easily be paid out of the receipts of the dis
trict.
The new building will be used for high school
purposes exclusively. 1t will be thoroly modern,
will have accomlnUda tions for 200 225 stu
dents. and the trustees believe that. without in
creasing the present rnte of taxation, they will
be able to meet the increased expense of main
