CELEBRATION ECHOES.
CBy Frank Alev.)

Celebration echoes are still ringing in the foot hills, and the big day in Douglas will not be soon forgotten.
 Sell Tarr returned 10 Bisbee yes terday. Sell is straightaway cham picn, but had trouble with his steel in the single jack contest.
 'rBig" Ross, one of the winners in the double jack contest, bore his laur- els charLningiy yesterday. The gen. eral concensus of opinion among min- ing men leans to the conclusion that Ross and Bradshaw would make an almighty" team.
 James Malley, brother of Ed Nal ley, the latter being an ex-double-hand champion and perhaps the finest turn CT and changer that ever mounted a rock, was in Douglas yesterday. Jim is an expert ironmonger and prom ised to send the International-Amer- ican reporter an expert prospecting pick of his own manufacture in few lays.
 Young Connolly made a record on the big rock yesterday of which he can afford to be proud. He is but 19 years of age.
 Did you stop to reflect while watch. ing those tough old miner giants per. form on that rock that fifteen min. utes seemed an eternity?
 The various committees on the cele, bration in Douglas will audit every item handled by them respectively and publish the result. Every person who contributed ten-cent piece. has right to know where it went, and of course the committees and agents of the enterprise will see that the proper exhibit is made.
 Conductor Moulton managed the responsible and delicate job of handling the celebration passenger traffic with skill.
 James Hill, of the Hill lodging house, after officiating largely in the big drilling ceremonies, returned to Bisbee this morning.
 Big Ross, Sell Tarr, Fred Yocky, and several other heavy weights, went home this morning.
 Tom Dwyer and Dan Caliaghan, who handled pools on the 4th, return ed to Bisbee this morning.
 Not a scrap was recorded on the 3rd, 4th and 5th. How is that for a record. ....r... ...a-. <. .
 That fellow who poured tabasco sauce so literally over Pat Smiths cigar snipe when he laid it down a moment on the night of the 4th may meet his maker with comparative composure, but he doesn't want to meet Pat.
 Now that it is all over, we can af ford to remember who gave fifty, who gave five and who gave nothing to ward the grand celebration
 W. L. York, the veteran prospector and miner, was in Douglas for the 4th from the lower country. He brought all the people along he could gather up. w. L. is a thoroughbred and typical frontier American, and assisted the celebration committees in every possible manner.

GRAHAM WILL BE FIRST.
SUPERVISOR sIlLINGSLEY TELLS OF UNUSUAL CROPS AND
 GENERAL PROSPERITY.

Supervisor B. F. Billingsley, of Dun. can, Graham county, when in Tucson last week enroute to Phoenix, gave out information concerning his coun- ty to the Citizen as follows:
 T do not recall a time when we were enjoying more prosperity in Graham county than right at the pres ent time," remarked MT. Billingsley last evening at the depot. Tt is true that we are somewhat in need of rain at the present moment, but we have strong hopes that Jupiter Pulyius will open up his gates before long.
 Our country is divided between mining and agriculture, and prosper. ity has visited both the mining men and the farmers. I do not recall a time when the grain and hay yield exceeded that of this year.
 Tt would be surprising to any one to pay a visit to Graham county at the present time and see the enor- nous quantities of hay and grain that are being shipped out. The shipments are consigned to all parts of the ter ritory. Barley is selling for s1 per hundred and this is the cheapest l have ever known it. Usually it sells at the beginning of the season for about S1.25 and later crawls up to $150. However, the barley yield has been so good generally throughout the agricultural district in the counfy that the farmers are all making money even at the dollar price" T7'
 When asked how Graham county would vote on the joint statehood measure, Supervisor Billingsley laugh ed. T would like to bet some joint list a good hat or anything else on the statehood vote," he remarked q would even give him odds that Graham county will roll up a bigger majority against joint statehood than any other county in the territory, and when I say that am aware of the fact that the measure is going to be overwhelmingly defeated through out the territory. Why, you can wis it q hundred men in our county be fore you find one who is in favor of being linked up with New Mexico We in Graham county have developed our agricultural lands and our mines and we propose to enjoy the reve- nues therefrom and not to allow New Mexico with her majority to step in and appropriate them to her use.
 Let me add that Graham county will not forget Delegate Mark Smith at the polls in the fall, but will roll up a handsome majority in apprecia' tion of his valiant services in the statehood fight before the national congress-" continued MT. Billings ley. Graham county will give Mir. Smith a handsome vote and it will he much larger than at the last cleo ton for delegate"
 From some of the tax figures which Mir. Billingsley gave last evening, Grabsm county people have good re1- son to be thoroughly satisfied with matters generally. The tax rate there this year will be about 2 f-2 cents. Of this 8 or 1-2 mills will go to the territory. so that it can safely be stated that Graham county will very probably have the lowest tax rate Of any county in the territory.
 The increase in the tax assessment of Graham county this year amounted to S2,312, 900, which resulted in the lowering of the tax rate.

ITALIAN LINE VESSEL
 IS LONG OVERDUE

ROME, July 6.-All inquiries by government officials and the officers of the Fabre Steamship Company relative to the steamer, America of the Fabre Line, now more than a week overdue at New York, have been fruitless. It has thirty Italians on board. The vessel left Marseilles June and St. Michaels June II, and should have arrived at New York about June g. It is thought the steamer may have been delayed by damage to her machinery, compelling her to go at reduced speed, or that she may have taken a disabled vessel in tow.

For Sale Of Indian Lands

WASHINGTON, Jan. l.-Wen con.
gress convenes a bill will be intro.
duced which will have for its purpose
the sale OF Indian lands that conflict
with the work of the reclamation ser.
vice. The sale of the Indian lands
will not be compulsory, but the law
will be.broad enough to permit every
Indian, who so desires, to sell most
OF his allotment to white men,
and from the proceeds of which the
secretary of the interior Is authorized
to pay a water right for his remaining
20 acres.
The proposition has met with the
support Of the reclamation service
and the Indian office, and Commits.
sioner Leupp says that if necessary
he will appear before the proper com.
mittees in the capital in support OF
such q measure. Should the bill be-
come q law it would affect almost
every arid land state, notably the
Crow and Fort Peck Indian reserva.
ton, in Montana. The Indian reser.
vations cover great areas, and In
many instances include vast stretches
of arid land which have been allotted
to Indians, which 1t will be impossi.
BILE to water under existing conditions
without great expense and without the
consent Of the Indians.

MONTANA'S WATER SUPPLY.

According to F. H. Newell, chief
engineer of the federal reclamation
service, Montana has q water supply
whose value 10 little appreciated by
the general public. In a brief article
upon the subject, contributed to the
Anaconda Standard, he says:
The greatest need Of Montana In its
future development is q full knowledge
of the possibilities and limitations Of
the water supply of the state and q
code of clear.cut, business.like laws
founded upon this knowledge.
While mining and stockraising are
the predominant industries of the
state, yet the time is coming when ag'
riculture by irrigation will be rec0g.
nized as the foundation OF permanent
success. The money made 10 mining
does not stay in the state, the labor.
ers drift away, the successful capital
lists build their homes in the east and
the permanent growth Of the state in
the things which make for good citi.
zenship must be looked for elsewhere.
Agriculture and the creation Of homes
for many families in moderate circum.
stances are the great objects to be
aimed at. The creation OF these homes
depends upon the proper use Of the
water supply.
Looking at the matter in a large
way it is seen that the really valuable
mineral in the state and the one which
will add to the permanent prosperity,
is not gold, o silver, O copper,
but it is water, the essential not mere.
ly of vegetable and animal life. but of
every operation of human activity.
Until broad and sensible laws are
enacted by Montana it will be impos
sible for the state to develop on large
lines, but instead We will have endless
litigation, expensive and irritating, of
value to no one except lawyers, and
resulting in nothing. One case, when
dedided would simply lead to ten
others.

MR.. EDISON'S PROPHECY.

In a recent interview Thomas A.
Edison has given to the world some
very interesting material for refec.
ton. It has been some fifteen years
since the wizard Of Menlo park star
tied us with the announcement Of an
important invention, but It appears
that he is about ready to give out one
now. 1--WE :are cropping on the verge
Of another great epoch in the worlds
history" says the wizard, and then
b. proceeds to speculate convincingly
o. the possibilities OF development
during the next few years.
Mr.. Edison confidently expects to
live to see the:complete elimination Of
the steam engine in industrial affairs.
as he has lived to see the elimination
OF the horse in the operation OF street
railroads. He points lout the scientific
absurdity Of shipping coal from the
mines to the remote steam boilers. He
would establish great electrical gener-
ating plants at theimines themselves
at is preposterous to keep on putting
the coal mines lonrwheels," says the
inventor. sit Is toe clumsy. 1t is
too costly. There.,is no necessity for
it," He maintains that it is easier to
carry molecular energy over wires
than to ship the equivalent energy in
coal over railroad tracks.
Within fifteen years from now Mr..
Edison believes there will not be a
coal burning locomotive In existence.
In countries where coal 10 not readily
available water power will be used,
thus reducing the cost of light, heat
and power 10 q minimum. The inveu.
tors only regret is that It takes the
public SO long to accept new inven'
lions. Twenty years ago Mr. Edison
established the fret electric railroad
and for ten years not q capitals
would invest his money in It.. Nov
there are electric railroads In nearl.
every city on the globe. Edison OF
cred to sell to Henry Willard and hi
associates all his patents on electri
railroads for $4,000 = quarter Of
century ago, and today these patent
are worth millions.
Mr.. Edison firmly believes that h
will live to see flying machines IN as
sured fact and ocean steamers maxim,
the transatlantic passage in shre
days. He expects also to see tn
horse practically eliminated as a beas
of burden and that all vehicles in on
cities will be driven by electricity
These are rome Of the things Mr.. Edi
con expects to come about within tn
lifetime of most of the people 10 liv
ing. He concludes with these words
1.-THE human race may we'll look for
ward with hope towards the day il
which the discovery will be announces
that electrical energy can be e%xtracte'
directly from coal without the use Q
DIRE or boilers, for. after that. tn
world will be greatly transformed"
