READ! PONDER! ACT!

The legislature of 1895 was re-
publican. John Martin had sue
ceeded Ingalls,, aud a successor
to Senator PETER was to be
chosen. The republicans of the
western half of the state had
united on Hon. ]. w. Ady to pre-
sent to the caucus. Judge
Peters, of Newton, then his law
partner, headed the fight for Mr..
Ady. The Entertainments of
the railroads upon the rights of
the people had already awakened
widespread alarm. Mr.. Ady had
especially earned the public con-
tidence by initiating and conduct
ing to a successful issue a suit
against these most greedy cor
morants. His speech at Chey-
enne, Wyoming, in the Federal
Court in behalf of the people was
accounted a most notable one.
He met and overcame such legal
luminaries asPeck. Peckham and
Choate. AS might have been ex-
pected in the view of these SER
vices, the railroads were alert to
thwart the candidacy of Mr..
Ady. Everywhere the drum
beat to arms, and no effort was
spared to bring about his defeat.
Had the Legislative delegation
from the 9TH Congressional Dis
trict stood by the candidacy of
Mr.. Ady no question Cf his cleo
ton would have arisen. Mr., Adv
himself had been for manv years
a citizensof Newton, had achieI ed
distinction in his chosen profess
slon-that of law; had wrought
so successfully in the forefront
of the republican battle-line as to
earn the gratitude of the best
elements of that party, and to
secure the appointment of U. S.
Attorney for the District of
Kansas.
The railroads. corporations,
and especial interests" united
under the leadership of the then
and still notorious J. r. Burton.
In his character, conduct,
methods and ability was already
discerned in full rounded meas
ure the desired qualifications to
represent the clients just men,
toned. He had already be-
smirched his character asa public
servant while a member of the
state legislature. His private
character was stencil wherever
known. But the very things
which should have driven him
from Office forever, commended

We'll Pleased With
 Arizona Irrigation

F. II. Newell, chief engineer of the reclamation service, has recently re turned to Washington, D. C., from a trip to many of the larger irrigation projects now under construction ID the west and southwest, and has ex- pressed himself as greatly pleased with the progress of the work. Speaking of his observations and the work in gen. eral, MT. Newell said:
 "In general work is progressing fa- vorably, and construction has reached point where results can be seen. The chief drawback at the present time is difficulty in securing compe- tent laborers.
 "The largest work of reclamation now in hand is the Roosevelt dam in Arizona, the foundation of which is now in and is approaching the river level
 "The Laguna dam on the Colorado river is being successfully pushed by J.F. White & Co.,, of New York city, and its success is now assured through the closing of the break in the Colo rado river"
 The reservoir to be created in New Mexico above Fl Paso by the great Eagle dam will have capacity of g. 100000 acre feet or twice that ere. ated by the Assusn dam in Egypt and will be the largest artificial lake in the world.

How They Do Things
 On the Rio Grande

The west is noted for its enterprise and progressiveness. The air appears to be laden with an oxygen that inn plants p the body a spirit that is ceaseless in its endeavor to better ex- isting conditions. When a necessity msnifests itself the public rises aS one man and the work is soon accom- plished. It is pleasure for the PRos- rEcvoR to refer to such unanimity of purpose when the good of the public is to be taken into consideration. These remarks are occasioned when short while ago, Young Mems Christian Association building was suggested for Fl Psso. The proposl- tion immediately found favor with the public. One hundred thousand dollars was called for. The three ex. cellent newspapers of that city-The Times, The News, and The Herald gave wings to the voice of appeal and in ten days time $l00,000 were sub. scribed and the election of the build
 ing assured. This action on the part
 of Fl Paso is deserving of mention and
 worthy of emulation. Each contrib
 utor erected to his memory a monu
 ment of greatness; it Is an evidence that those who are building up thii great metropolis of the southwest art
 liberai-minded, progressive lot, tC
 settle among whom will entail no los , or cause regret. Fl Paso's commercial greatness has not as yet been attained her strides onward have but begun Through the columns of her vel pstronized and ably edited newspa' pers is seen the profile oi busy city 7 it is a reflex of the indomitable en . ergy without which there will be tu
 little progress.

 book, 1906.
 In 1883. ..the first year of which there
 is official record, Arizona's copper pro.
 duction was 5. .s73. .92O pounds-a very
 good beginning. In 1893 it was 43.- OOS, 900 pounds. The increase for the ten years was not astoundingly great, but it was sufficient to show that there was more copper where the first came from. That was very clearly demon strated during the succeeding ten years, for, as MT. Stevens tells us, the production amounted to 147,647 ,360 pounds in 1903 or just three times as much as it was ten years before.
 But that only tells the lesser half of the story. It is difficult to realize that during tine last three years Ari- .ona's copper output has more than or, to state the case in fig Ires, has risen from I47 ,647 ,360 pounds l n 1903 to 3OO,OOO,OOO pounds (esti- natedl in 1906. That is, verify, "go- ng some." One company-the Cop ,er Queen-is now turning out as nuch copper a year ss the entire ter itory was producing four years ago.

 IMMIGRATION COMMISSIONER

It is astonishing how many | people are barely existing in the densely populated East, while Kansas and other great
 agricultural States of the West
 and others of the South are
 praying for skilled and un- skilled labor at good wages v
 A man who says his idleness is enforced, these days, is fib-, ping, These facts lead the PRosPEcToR to suggest the ad- visibility of each Western State, and more particularly Arizona, establishing an I'm migration Bureau for the dis semination of such informa- tion as will enlighten the home-seeker. True, the news papers keep the advantages of the country before the people, but an Immigration Commis- sioner could and would cover the Territory and furnish data upon our varied possibilities many of which are but vaguely mentioned if not sighted al together, The mining inter ests, to say nothing of tht stock and agricultural indus tries, would receive a stimu- Jus through such an effort tha would richly reward the tax payer for the comparativel' small outlay required for tn
 maintenance of such a depart ment. The matter may b discussed before the Legis
 lature at Phoenix this Winter

It behooves every citizen in Tomb to put his shoulder to the wheel and pull for a bridge over the San Pedro near Charleston. And in the light of recent developments that need is more apparent than ever. All signs point to the immediate removal and en- largement of Fort Huachuca barracks. In fact it now appears that the gov ernment intends to make Fort Hua- chuca the largest military post out side Of Denver in the Colorado de- partment. The plans as approved in dicate that the present post will be removed down on the meso to point four miles northeast of the present site. The post will be enlarged to ac- commodate 5000 men, and 1t is sta ted that this force will be made up of 8 brigade comprising infantry, cay- airy and artillery. :; It takes but a glance for thinking man to make up his mind that we must have bridge at Charleston if Tombstone is to ben eft in connection with this great deal. Not alone will that enter into the matter, but every merchant in town suffers from the. loss of trade right now among ranchers and mining camps west of the river because of a lack of bridge accommodations at Charleston. The matter should be taken up with the board of super visors.
