point of attendance, failure, but still it contained
the germ of efficacy and if it did nothing else than

may be understood at the present moment. 1t is a
splendid move and has the vrle essence Of promise
in that there is such an abundance of room for the

chards of Clatsop and bringing the new ones to
the same pass Good luck to it

 A TRAGEDY RECALLED
The Mysterious Disappearance of Young Steele Sixteen Years Ago.

A real estate deal involving the sale of the Stewart farm to J. w. Doris was consummated yesterday by J. L. IrVin and the firm of Greene and Grii- Hn.- This farm is located two and a half miles north of Six Points and is described as the northeast half of sec
 loh 1O9, township. ? north. range 3 east It is one of the oldest cultivated farms lying under the Arizona canal. hdVhg been titled most of the time for the past eighteen years. The farm is partly in alfalfa and is well fenced and has small house on it.
 The farm belonged to the heirs of pr J. S. Stewart of Peoria. Ills. and K H. Greene has been in charge of the property as agent for a great many years. The story of mysterious dis appearance is connected with the his tory O. the farm.
 About eighteen years ago the farm was bought jointly by pr. Stewart and son, the latter coming out here to reside and care for the property. Six teen years ago last winter the young man was living with A J. Straw. who HOW resides in the vicinity of Peoria. one day at dinner he left the table suddenly. No attention was paid 10 the matter at first, but he failed to return and has never been seen since. search was instituted for him at once and days were spent in securing the country round but no trace of his whereabouts, or knowledge of his fate was ever learned He had acted queer TOT some time before and the final con- cluslon was that he had become sud- uehly insane and wandering away to the desert, perished in some unknown manner, perhaps by Starvation or thirst His father came out and ioin- ed III the search but finally gave it l1p as Iruitiess Since then the father has dled' and MT. Greene has looked after the property for the heirs.

IMPROVED FORM
 OF CIIY WARRANTS
A PrecautiOn Against the Mistakes of
 Earlier Years.

The first move in the plan to have a new warrant form by the city of Phoenix was made by MT. Kersting in the city council meeting last night The project had been touched on at pre- vious meetings and the suggestion that it was advisable was agreed to. It was at that time suggested that q form be offered and this was what was done last evening. The form was re- ferred to the city attorney. Roy Good rich, for his approval al to its legal features and will likely be reported back to the council by him at the reg ular meeting. This much accomplish ed. it is likely an ordinance will be passed. fixing the form of city war rants and thereafter such form will be the one issued. If MT. Kersting's sug- gestion is carried out the new warrants will have printed on their face the section of the city charter under which the warrant is issued and also the sec ton of the law which limits the in debtedness or liability any council may legally incur to the revenues derived under the tay ordinance. The new warrants will be issued only up to November 15. 1906. the date the taxes are delinquent and will bear interest from the date of their issue up to that date at the rate of six per cent That they may be identified from any war rants heretofore issued by the city it is more than likely that they will be printed on blue paper
 The meeting of the council was q very short one but during the time it was in session il disposed of several small matters. The insurance on the c'ty's buildings expires the first of July and the renewal of the policies was re- ierred to MT Cisney. the chairman of the buildings and grounds committee Nllh power to act \ resolution was passed, instructing the city zanjers to hereafter deliver no water to any prop erty for which the city water license had not been paid. The removal of the city irrigating ditch from the west side or South Center street to the east side was considered and finally referred to Messrs. KeTsting and Cisney with in- suuctons to report at the next meet ihs' It IS the desire of the councilman and the street commissioner to better the drainage facilities of that section or the town and the move contemplat- ed is along such lines A call for bids Tor city printing was ordered to be published by the city recorder
 The proposed sign ordinance was bruoght up again, but action was dc- Ierred until the next meeting of the council. At that time it was thought an ordnance will be presented which will regulate various matters, the conStruc- lion of awnings, the placing of signs and the construction of bilboards. etc.

"HE average is looking at the world
through hole, and the good Lord will
have to put eyes in the back of his head if
he is to see more than the circle of his
desires, says the Speaker he smiles
phDosopmcally down upon the conflict of ideas
to what shall be written into the national law.
Indeed, the House of Representatives suggests a
great exchange where the interests and ambitions
of eighty millions of American people are brought
for valuation. Here, it might be said come the
promoters of moral well as material securities,
and here the bulls and bears contest every move
on the floor until in the clash of interests there is
tusing of ideas that brings the composite legislation
most acceptable to all the people from Maine to
California, and from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of
Mexlco-those who nhabit the great marts of trade
and those who dwell on the farm those who sweat
in the great factories and those who delve in the
nlnes-who make up the peoples government in
the United States of America.
Into this political exchange, where we seek to
verify Blackstone's definition that Law is the en-
bodiment of the moral sense of the people" are
finally brought all the ideas and aspirations of the
American people to contest with each other the

The Governmental Fannine-Mill

THERE are three hundred and eighty-six Represen-
tatives in the House and perhaps two of them
have IDENTICAL interests to represent or identical
demands from their constituents. Each of these
members represents two hundred thousand popu1a-
ton, mighty army, with mighty force of public
opinion, to impress upon that member that right
must rest with the voice of the multitude in his own
district. AS a result there are more than fifteen
thousand bills before the House of Representa-
tves, and these embrace enough proposed legislation
to almost make entirely the revised statutes
and the Constitution itself, and also amend the
Decalogue They run the whole ganut of legislative
ideas from national divorce to Sunday observance,
and from trust busting to the prevention of BARRIERS
itch. Many of these bills may appear ridiculous to
all except their promoters, and behind each is
reputable constituency which has right to voice
in a government of the people. Therefore, it is
necessary to have this central exchange where must
be developed the resultant of the forces of civliza-
ton and let the statutes be written in accord with
the will of the ma orty.
A year ago there seemed to be a general demand
for revision of the tariff, and it came from many
sections. The demands, however, were not all
alike. Tariff revision had different meanings in
different States.
A prominent Massachusetts, member entered the
Speakers room and said: Mr. Speaker, we can
settle this tariff agitation in week. There need be
no extra session any general tariff revision. We
settle the whole question by few simple amend
ments to the Dingley law, and adopt those in the
