The fellow who stops his pa per because he becomes offended at some item that does not suit his fancy always imagines he is getting even with the publisher, but he is never missed. This only happens occasionally, for there ere only a few people in any community who imagine 6 paper should contain nothing but what they approve of.

When we see so many young men with their hair parted in the middle and hanging down over their foreheads so as to obscure every trace of intellect, and so many young women with their hair all frizzly-frowsly and flop ping around over their faces in fifty different directions, we are not surprised that the followers of Darwin are now positively sure that mankind descended from the monkey.

CLEAN UP

Let everyone keep hustling to improve the appearance, of their streets and lots. Keep all kinds of rubbish off the streets and sidewalks, and see that your houses, fences, etc, are neatly painted, There is nothing that helps the looks of a town and induces newcomers to settle in it more than neatly painted houses and fences, neat and tidy streets and sidewalks, and fruit and shade trees On your lots. Let us see what you will do for the ben eft of our progressive little city.

Few business men have more to contend with than an editor. The only means the editor has is his newspaper columns, which are the same to him as the shelves of dry goods are to the merch- ant. No one thinks of asking the merchant to give him the dry goods from his shelves, but few they are who hesitate to ask the editor to give them half column or more free in his pa per.

Southern Pacific Cutoff,

Having surveyed the greater part of the proposed Southern Pacific main line through Phoe- niy, the surveying corps is today in the vicinity of Buckeye, and will continue on down the valley selecting the most feasible route to connect with the main line somewhere in the vicinity of Yuma.
 The midnight building Of 6 spur by the Santa Fe in the southwestern part of, the city will not interfere with the en- trance of the Southern Pacific, though it may delay them for a short time.
 Had not the spur been built the Southern Pacitic was in a DO. sition to almost at any time be- gin laying track. They must now purchase more land on which to lay their track as re- suit of the spur.
 Arrangements are said to have been made between the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific to use the same tracks part of the way east from Phoenix. If they do not, it means that the Southern Pa cifc must practically parallel the Phoenix and Eastern for consid- erable distance.
 Plans thus far do not contem- plate the abandonment of the present Southern Pacific main line through Arizona which pass es through Maricopa, Tucson and Benson.
 Much of the passenger traffic will be over the present line, possibly two transcontinental passenger trains passing through Phoenix each day. The new line will be used principally for fast freight, the grade being much less than on the, line now through Arizona.
 Just where the new main line will again connect with the Southern Pacific after leaving it is a question of much conjecture and little certainty.
 The general impression is that the new line, will reach the old one sone somewhere near Lords burg, N. M. It will be to serve the cities of Phoenix, Florence, Globe, Clifton and Solomonville and the rich mining and agricul tural country that surrounds them.

It makes us very tired, indeed, to have merchants insist on us to urge the people to trade at home and not send away to mail order houses or big city stores for their goods, and when we go around to settle our accounts have presented to us billhead printed away from home or re- ceive copy for an ad written on 6 letter head printed in the city. Yes, we believe in trading at home," but those who cry out so loud and consistently should cer- tainly be first to set the exam. pie.

Our home merchants take the farmers produce. With them he finds a ready market for his but ter and eggs and whatever he raises to sell. They buy these products quite as much to assist the farmer as for the profit there is in it for them. In many cases they sell it for less than they pay for it and handle it at loss, yet some farmers do not appre- ciate this, and take this very same money and send to the city when they could get bargains right at home.

J. M. Polhamus,
 Clerk.

The postoflce department has decided that children going to and from school shall not be al lowed to get thelr parents mail, so do not blame the postmaster if your children are refused the mall. The postofice habit among the children has become a nui- sance, both to the public and the postmaster, and the department has done wisely in making this decision. This has been one of Postmaster Chandler's greatest trials as the children go to and from school. We hope this will be observed and no other means need be used to enforce this law.

 In addition to the principal projects above listed, reconnaissance surveys are being carried on in each of sixteen states and territories.
 The principal water supply for west ern Nevada comes from the mountains of California, near the western boun- diary of the state, the principal streams being the Truckee, Carson and Walker rivers. These converge toward the desert lands and disappear in sinks or lakes at attitudes of about 3900 feet.
 The Truckee-Carson project com prises number of reservoir sites on ! the head waters of Truckee and Carson rivers. The project includes the use of Lake Tahoe as a storage reservoir. The waters of TrucI1ee river are used for the irrigation of lands in the vicin- ity of Reno. Below these lands the river flows through nrrtow canyon and then turns to the north, it's waters being lost in Pyramid and Winnemucca lakes.
 In this lower canyon is to be built a canal, taking out the flood and excess waters of the river, which would other wise be lost in the lakes, and carrying them southeastward to a reservoir site on the lower part of Carson river, in which at the same time the excess waters of the latter stream can also be used.
