The Coming
 Irrigation Congress

Gov. Cutters proclamation com
 meEdiDg to the thought ui consider
 tion of rizoDa people the next -.s- sion of the irrigation congress, to
 held Boise, Idaho, ptember tn ; inclusive, is most timely. While il { true that nearly two months WI
 elapse before the opening meeting
 held, the people -huuld give con, thought to it and as man, cit;ze
 of Arizona as can possibly make tL trip should prepare to go. There a,, several reasons why the attendanc, from Arizona should be large.
 First of these, of course, is the i'm portance of irrigation to Arizona. II the pioneers of this territory had not put into active practice the principl, oi irrigation this commonwealth could never have been reclaimed. To irri- gation, therefore, Arzona owes a large share or her permanent wealth and prosperity. This territory has always been in the fore front every irriga- tion mov' ment Its delegates to irri- gation congresses have been able to impart such information of value and at the same time they have always benefited by the exchange of ideas that Is only possible at such meetings.
 During the next few weeks the gov ernor, the mayors of cities, county com mnissionefs, commercial cubs, and other organizations entitled to make appointments will select delegates.

Negro Lab0rers For
 Arizona Railroads

Seventy three negroes, black as the ace of spades. fresh from Georgia and we'll able to withstand the efforts of an Ar1zona sun, are now at work on the Torto Basin dan, where they are employed by Contractor O'Rourke.
 Laboring alongside the black men from the south are an eqnal number of Italians, who take rather unkindly to their new com auions, though thus far they have submitted quietly to the introduction of a new element of labor into the Ari- zona field.
 R. H Collins. who has just return. ed to Phoenix from a visit to the damste, states that the negroes have already made g, cd, and are proving excellent iaborers The hot sun ap- parently has little effect on them, and they take rather kindly to the change from the cotton fields to the pick and shovel -Enterprise.

 cc.ssful conclusion between the
 United States government and that
 of the Republic of Mexico.
 The question involved in the nego- tistions was the mstter of caring for insane persons from Mexico by the 'erritory of Arizona and resulted in an agreement on the part of the Repub of Mexico to care for her subjects now in this country and confined in asylums
 Mir. Bishop and his men departed, taking with them six insane patients from the territorial asylum for depor- Ntion. The laws of Arizona provide that in order to be eligible for admis- sion into the asylum a patient m ust b" citizen of the United States. However, it is provided that violent persons he taken care of for time.
 This law has been dead letter for time, and for several years it has teen the custom to care for all patients committed to the asylum, regardless of whether or not they were citizens o' the United States.
 Dr. Ferguson, the present superin- tendent of the asylum, was for long time resident of Nogales, and while there became familiar with the GUS tom of the Mexican government, or to be more diplomatic, the custom of the people of showing their in sane patients across the line to be ,ared for here in Arizona.

U. s. Inspectors
 After Cattle Men

Government inspectors have be,
 making some investis sations in Co
 chise county during the past few week.
 m regard to the fencing of governme, ,
 land by the cattle men. and in one O,
 two instances have ordered the re-
 movai of the fences. The officials have
 demanded the removal of what is
 known as the Slaughter fence, which
 rms acr ss the country from Silver
 creek to the vicinity of Cotton wood.
 or near the New Mexican line. The
 'ence was erected years ago by the
 Erie Cattle company and was used as drift fence to prevent the cattle from going across the line into Mexico, and to keep them of the San Bernard,no -ange. The Erie Cattle company sold out to Ryan Bros, who subsequently, sold out to Neal x Hysham, ahc have long since relinquished any claim to the fence, so that in reality it belongs to the county, as no one has paid any taxes on # for a number of years. There has ben protest fl ed with he officials at Washington in the gen. eral land office about having the f-nce removed at the present time owing to the quarantine that has been placed on the San Bernardino ranch on ac- count of the discovery Of fever ticks 'n a shipment of cattle that was made out Of there some time since. Mr. has been dipping his cattle since that time in an endesvor to stamp out the disease. The territorial | inspectors, together with government l ,sttle inspectors, are soon to make an | of the condition of the | Slaughter ranges and see if the quar- intine can be raised Dr. Norton. of he territorial board, secured permis- ion of the government to have the ence left temporarily until the quar- Intine shall have been lifted.
 Besides the Slaughter fence the in- pectors have been checking up the and entries in the Sulphur spring alley and have found a number of ases where cattle men have fenced land to which they have 10 title, and have made reports to to this effect. The par ies will in due time, no doubt, receive rders from the general land off ,e to emove them at once under penalty of he law.

An Arizonan Sung
 By a Scorpion

Judge A. B. Tomlinson was stuug by scorpion Saturday on the end of a finger, and in a few hours was SO paralyzed as to be unable to walk a step and could not stand steadily. His arms, hands and lower limbs were be- numbed as though circulation had been stopped, and it seemed to him as though 10000 pins were pr,cking him. His tongue, throat and stomach all felt the maddening effects of the sting. The whole night he could not sleep and almost all day yesterday he was unable to leave his bed. Late in the evening he was quite himself again, but was very weak and nervous,- Phoenix Gazette.

ahead II is not a question of money
at all, for practically all the great sys-
TENS have money in hand to take
double what the total capacity Of the
mills and shops can produce, to say
nothing Of the general outside invest
ment resources Of the world.
Moreover, never in the history Of
railroad transportation, not even in its
day OF greatest license, we're the prof
its from such investment to be com
pared with those which all the repre-
sentative roads are now declaring. In
the face of the treasury situation Of
Mr. Hills own roads. which is not ex-
ceptional, but representative, his at
tack on public policy is boldly prepos-
ferrous. But the fact of public control
Of carriers is just as unacceptable as
that of the inadeQuacy of their facil-
tiles, as that of the unparalleled
growth of business and as that OF the
present and prospective vast profit
from railroad investment. And it Is
as infallibly necessary that Mr.. Hill
and all influential men in transporta-
ton should for their own as we'll as
for the public good adjust themselves
to the one fact as to the others.
