American Travellers.

The movement begun in Salt Lake City to educate Americans ito see Am erica first" has spread across the lending their encouragement. The re- suit will be awaited with interest. No doubt inducements will be offered which will divert large numbers to- ward the grand scenery of the west notably the great gape in the ground which Arizona has to show.
 Most Americans who travel know in a general way what their country has to offer them in the way of sight see ing but it mas never been impressed upon them as this seeing America first. will do.
 But to many the superior grandeur of their own country will not appeal They will continue to flock to the old world to see cities and objects which time has hallowed and which history mas made sacred. These will carry their ignorance of America with them and betray it to the cultured Euro peans to whom the newness of the western continent is not repulsive.
 The average Frenchman, English man or German who travels for his amusement or education first travels within ais own country. He is a nov ing encyclodedia of it and he speaks intellgently of it. The average Amer ican who sets out, lacks he home training and this is why he is a poor traveller though something of a gad about.

PHOENIX. ARIz.. MARCH IT, 1906.
The IndlspO ltion of Speaker Cannon

If Speaker Cannon can not forecast legislation with greater accuracy than he can make a statement regarding an existing fact, those who are hoping against hope that something may yet come of the joint statehood bill may as we'll give it up. Where on earth he found a basis for his statement the other day that for every opponent to the admission of Arizona there are twenty to the admission of Oklahoma we can not imagine. That wild asser- ton ought to have cost the speaker the confidence of the blindest of his followers. If there has been any oppo- sition at all to the new state of Okla homa it has been so incOnsequential that no notice has been taken of it; it has not been even mentioned.
 In the next sentence MT. Cannon ex- horted the house to stand firm and the Hamilton bill would become law. We are aware that Speaker Cannon is past three score and ten. to be more accu- rate he is seventy-twO years of age. Though the views of pr. Osler on the effect of accumulated years may not be subscribed to in their entirety, it is agreed that with a comparatively few notable exceptions, human discern ment is not as acute at seventy-two as at sfxty-two or fifty-twO. We fear that Speaker Cannon is not classifying himself among the exceptions.
 Far be it from us to hint or even be understood to be limiting at senility in this disquisition on age and Speaker Cannon, but we really think if the speaker were younger, say, by ten or twenty ears, he would not entertain the notion that there is the vaguest possibility of the passage of the origi- nal Hamilton bill.
 The speaker has recently done and said many things that he would not have said and done in 1896 or in 1886. He would in either of those years not have disputed the right of senators to hold views different from his nor would he in the clearer light which shines about vigorous middle age have believed himself and the president to be the republican party.
 We trust that the delusion which now clouds the speaker is only tempo rary, proceeding from a disordered di- gestion of which one of any age may suffer and that it may not be an evil dence of permanent decay.

A Reversal of Conditions Under the

Alhambra, Ariz., Mar. 15.-(SpeciaI Correspondence of The Republican)- The water question has taken a new turn, occasioned by the recent rise in the river, and farmers under the Ari- zona canal got their tanks filled for stock water while those under the old ditches went dry by reason of the washing out of the heads. The Arizo- na supply, too, was only of short dura- ton, but was thankfully received by all living under it, for men have been driving stock no small distance each day for their drinking supply.

Copper Mining.

The mining of copper at the present
time is somewhat different from what
it was a few years ago Not many
years ago copper was selling from
IL to II cents per pound. At present
it Is worth % cents pound in New
York City. The increase in the sell.
ing price simply means SO much ad-
ditional profit for the producers, for
there is no increase in the cost of
production. In fact the cost of pro-
ducng conper is considerably cheaper
than it was number of years ago,
because of the improved methods and
machinery. The importance of the
present high prices of copper can be
more readily seen by putting two and
two together; for instance, 10 per
cent copper ore, such as is produced
in the Oregon copper mines in the
southwestern part of the state, con-
tains 300 pounds of copper to the ton.
Thus making the ore worth. at the
present price of copper, s66 per ton
just double what it was worth at the
old price of II cents pound. But
the S33 ton increase is all clear
gain. This means an increase clear
profit of $40, 600 month to COM
pany producing 100 tons of ore per
day.

Insurance r ate Raisers.

The following article taken from
the Roseburg Spokesman is timely
and to the point. Grants Pass has
the same complaint, but what's the
use? Following is the article:
"This is about all that is necessary
to say in regard TO the periodical
visits from lot Of insurance in
spectors who come around to inspect
and find fault or a chance or apparent
reason to raise the rates that are al
ready too high. One man comes
along and represents himself to be an
inspector and requires that certain
changes be made in the wiring Of
buildings and in about six months
another one tramps into town and
condemns what his predec essor has
recommended and says that changes
must be made or else rates will be
raised. In some instances the changes
recommended are not feasible or posi-.
BILE to be made with the result that
another chance is found to cause a
raise In insurance rates. This seems
to be about the real object these
periodical visitors have in view, and
they always succeed in accomplishing
their object.
1.-THE wiring of Roseburg was
made under the supervision of in.
spectors and with their approval but
these later days we find there are
those who are wiser in their own es.
timation and 80 what was done in the
years gone by is improper and must
now be done over. The whole thing
is one Of those disgusting CRAFTS that
cause people unnecessary expense and
trouble" " t4 ..
