records of the District that the ex-
ira $4,000 bond issue was made
necessary by encountering more
hardpan rock than the engineers had
estimated. The highline was not
cut short three miles, but was ex-
tended further than the original
plans of the District called for at
the request of some landowners, who
expected a better water service by
having their land adjacent to a canal
instead of at the end of lateral
from the Phyllis.
The minutes of May 3rd, 1904,
show that Mr.. w. II. Schenck pc
titioned the Board of Directors to
extend this canal some distance fur
Their and that after personal in
spection by the entire Board of Di-
rectors, the petition was denied. 1t
might be we'll to state that the "one
of the present Board of Directors"
referred to was not on the Board at
that time.
The reason for denying this appli-
cation, was that it was considered
waste of money to parallel an ex-
listing canal with another canal only
or feet higher, thereby changing
the source of water supply Of 1 s to
20 acres from the Phyllis to the
Highline canal. 1t is our under
standing that it was the policy of
that Board, as it is of the present
Board, to enlarge and clean out the
old canal from the point where 1t is
intersected by the Highline canal,
large enough to accommodate all the
land which could be watered from it.
AS to the outside work of the
superintendent, it is shown by the
payrolls of the District that at the
time he was performing such work
as laying out the Inter-urban Rail-
way, ETC., he was not on the pay
roll of the District, but was laying
off by the consent of the Board of Di-
rectors. Any other small jobs of
, work outside the District were done
by him on Sundays or legal holt
days.

DISTRICT MATTERS.


communication signed, "A Small
Land Owner" which draws attention
to some Pioneer Irrigation District
matters, which should be fully dis
cussed. The writer of the communi-
cation seems to be seeking informa-
ton and having aroused our interest,
we took the trouble to investigate
the affairs of the District under the
management of the present Board OF
Directors. In hope that our investi-
cations may help others to a clearer
idea of matters we present the facts
as we found them.
Section 35, of the District 1rri-
CATION law, provides that immediate
~ after the organization of an irri-
CATION district, and, as soon as the
necessary surveys have been made to
determine the cost of the works
necessary for the irrigation of the
land, the Board of Directors shall ex-
anime each legal subdivision of land
with view of determining the bene-
fits which will accrue to each of
such subdivisions from the construc-
ton of irrigating works; ~and the
cost of such works shall be appor-
toned or distributed over such tracts
in proportion to benefits accruing
thereto; and the amount so appor-
toned to each of such tracts shall
be and remain the basis for fixing
the annual assessments levied against
such tracts in carrying out the pur-
pose of this act. Also that such
Board shall prepare map showing
such apportionment, one copy to be
filed in the Office of the State En-
gineer and another to be placed in
the Office of the district.
The records of the Pioneer Irri-
CATION District, show that this basis
of valuation was fixed at Sc per acre
for all the land in the District ex-
cept city lots, which were placed at
50 for lots having frontage of
twenty-five feet and 81 for lots hav-
ing a frontage Of 80 feet. Conse-
quently each acre of land in the dis
trict was taxed alike in the meeting
of Oct. 3rd, 1906, and the present
Board of Directors has not attempted
..to determine who shall and who
shall not pay taxes"
AS to enlargement, the records
show that the canals of the District
were designed and built to carry
575 second feet of water or so min
er's inches for each 63 IL acres OF
land.
The best proof of the need for en-
largement of the Phyllis is the fact
that in June, 1906, according tC
the records of the watermasters, with
a head of $4,000 inches and 1880
acres in cultivation under the Phyllis
Canal, SIS of an inch per acre was
the available head turned out at
the headgate of the waterusers.
The minutes OF the District show
that July 9Th and 9Th were spent
by the Board of Directors in inspec
ting the Phyllis Canal and verify
ing the measurements of the superin
tendent and watermasters.
The ability of Mr.. Wiley is mo-
questioned in this matter, but an,
water user under the Phyllis Cana
knows that his supply of water wa!
insufficient In the season of 1905
and II he had taken the same pains
to find out, that the Directors did
he would know that the canal wal
carrying its full capacity on the hill

POLITICAL SEARCHLIGHT

The story of the first act of the renowned drama Our New /oss," by one who was not in the audience:
 The offices of Doc the Diplomat, in the E. I. Auditorium, were brilliantly lightel by l6 c. ?. electric globes, and the whole was tastefully decorated with axes and knives, relies of the last terrific battle, which took place before Mike the Tyrant was driven from the throne. and Robert the In- surgcnt installed. There was a fair sized audience. consisting entirely of waF-scarred veterans, who had ac- companied the new Autocrat during his last campaign against the Knight of the Machine. The reason for the absence of all others is that a man. date had gone forth from the Main Guy to the effect that he wotld not do his stunt if any but those whom he had placed on the Roll of Honor at A number of those who had been taken Prisoners in the last engage ment asked for admittance, but were unable to get past the Box office, be- ing told that their money bore the image of one who no longer dealt out the tickets.
 The curtain rose promptly at s o'clock. as advertised. displaying a triumphal arch in the foreground, and on one of the rear drops was painted very realistic picture of the Bisbee Opera House.
 Music was heard in the distance finally drawing nearer, until at last the whiskers of the Wise old owl protruded from one of the wings, and was shortly followed by the face and body of that Worthy. Directly be- hind the Bird came the Hero, Robert the Insurgent, on his head a Laurel Wreath. and in his hand the famous club with which his predecessor, Mike the Tyrant, had so often swatted the heads of those who questioned his rul- ings on Affairs of State. The Boss looked remarkably well, though a lit tie bit nervous, and scanned the audi ence with a Hauteur worthy of an older Club-Swinger. The band, which was heard in the distance, must have got lost en route, because they nevel appeared on the stage.
 The Boss was seated in a swive chair, which had been prepared foi him. and as an opener appointed the Owl, Chancellor of the new admins

AN ABLE COUNCIL.

That the council of the next legis lature will be a strong one is assured by the nominations already made by the democrats throughout the territory. The territorial convention started with the nomination of Hon. N. W. Bernard from the counties of Pima and Santa Cruz. He was in the last council and a better man could not have been named for the next one.
 In Yavapai county Hon. Reece Ling has been named for the council. MT. Ling is a democratic wheel horse in the north and he will easily be elected. A man of ability he will be valuable member of the council.
 In Maricopa the democrats have named Eugene Brady O'Neil for the council. He is a brilliant man and very popular He is brother of the immor- tai "Bucky" O'Neil, and his election is beyond doubt. In the council he will be a prominent worker
 Hon. Geo. w. P. Hunt has been again named for the council by the democrats of Gila county MT. Hunt was the president of the last council and one of its ablest members. He has more legislative experience than any man who will be in the next coun- cil. having already represented his county six times in the Arizona legis- latLre, four times in the house and twice in the council His election is assured and further, Gila county prom ises to poll one of the largest demo- cratic majorities this fall in it's his tory.

Nugent has many times represented Yuma county. and during the old days when the fighting for the removal of the penitentiary was fierce. he done for Yuma county such efficient work that won for him the everlasting gratitude Of the people on the banks of the Colo Tado.
 | Other democratic nominations for l the council throughout the territory have been excellent. The above are the more prominent.

MARK SMITH STRONG IN NORTH,

Hon. Thos. F. Wudin. editor of the Florence Tribune, made a trip to northern Arizona last week and sized up the political situation in the follow ing editorial:
 "We visited the northern part of the territory last week and found the antijoint statehood sentiment almost unanimous. We also found that Marcus A. Smith will receive there, not only the full democratic vote, but also large number of republican votes upon the ground that it is a dangerous policy to send new man to Washington during the life of the present administration. The persist ency of Mir. Roosevelt in pushing to the front his pet schemes leads many thoughtful men to fear that in spite of the overwhelming defeat of jointure in November, an effort will be made by the administration to pass another jointure bill through the next session with no provisions in it giving the people of the two territories a chance to vote separately on the subject. In case such an attempt should be made they realize the importance of having Mark Smith there to hold the solid democratic vote in line, feat that he alone could accomplish at this time. "

tration. He then called for Doc the Diplomat, but was informed by Trusty Charley, who appeared from one Of the wings just about that time, that one of the former regulars had taken their defeat so much to heart that he had taken two Shots at himself. The report stated that on the first shot he missed himself, and on the second shot he hit himself where he missed himself the first time, and then called for Doc, who was called, and repaired Immediately to the bedside of the Broken Part of the Machine.
 Then came the surprise of the eve ming, when the Boss faced towards the Chancellor, and in a stentorian Voice announced to his meek and humble hearers that he had concluded to make the Show as short as possible, and for that reason had just drawn up a Pro gram, which, although different from  the usual run, would fill it's place nicely.
 He then announced that he would appoint himself Main Duck in the Swim. which is to be indulged in to- morrow, and as his first Assistant would appoint one whom he has all ways esteemed, wiggy the Long. He then annuonced that when the, name of his faithful Subject, Jack the Bald. is mentioned at the meeting of the Pie-Cutters' Association on Thursday, all of the faithful should arise and yell .'Shuruff'' three times. He then went on to ordain several other Things and finally left the stage amid the tu- multuous applause of a delighted and liberated audience. He appeared again in minute and announced that he had forgotten to thank his audience for their kind attention, and instruct ed them to be on hand at his cal! on Thursday. The multitude then surged from the auditorium, rejoicing in admiration for their new found Master. All were delighted to think that they had at last been allowed to be present at the meeting of the Big Chief with Himself, even though they had not been allowed to say anything.
 All of the theatrical critics pro- nounce the show a great success.

included in their platform declara- tion in favor of the territory building a bridge across the Gila river in that county. Graham county is in an ex- cellent financial condition, and the people of that county desire a bridge across the Gila, we would suggest that the proper thing to do would be to build it out of the county treasury; that is the way Cochise county gets
 bridges across the San Pedro. We do not believe the territory should build
 bridges for any county.
