Board of Trade.

Tuesday evening at the court house there was an interesting meeting of the Board of Trade. A report of the work of the board of directors for the past fourteen weeks was read by Mir. H. M. Chapman, and everyone ap- peared to be pleased with the progress that has been made. Twenty or more of those present responded briefly to calls of the president for remarks on various subjects.
 A delegation of business men from Nogales, Sonora, were present and on their behalf Mir. Sandoval told of the work being done to secure from the Mexican government change in the concession granted the Southern Pa clhc system, to enable them to build the connecting line between the Cana nea and Sonora railroad from Cananea to Nogales, instead of to Imuris.
 MT Chapman reported having con- municated with Mr. Howard $. Reed or the United States Reclamation Service relative to Investigating the conditions existing in the Santa Cruz valley, with view to esta blishing, ultimately, dam on the Santa Cruz river for the reclamation of valley lands in Santa Cruz county.
 Wednesday evening tue directors of the Board of Trade held their regular weekly meeting and MT. Reed was present. H had already obtain ed information from Captain 0. E. Perkins that encouraged him to be- lieve conditions here are exceptionally favorable to the reclamation of the valley lands. " While here he said he would make thorough investi- gation and report the result of his efforts.

In the Patagonia Mountains.

Frederick John Siebert, E. M, re- turned Tuesday from the Hardshell and tlux group nIihes in the Pata- gcnia mountains after spending three days on the ground planning and mapping out work for Superintendent Starr. A large force of miners will be started immediately on both properties.
 The main working shafts on both properties will be rapidly pushed down to the su phide ores, and on the Flux another tunnel will be started to strike of about 250 feet This tunnel will be over 800 feet in length.
 It is proposed to put this tunnel clear through the Flux mountain, coming out on the north side in the canyon that leads directly to the rail- road, which will be less than four miles distant.
 When the present main vertical working shaft of the Flux-now 100 feet in depth-reaches in depth of 25O feet, the tunnel will be worked from both ends.
 Ia survey and measurement of the Hardshell vein at the 325 feet (include) level, it was found to be l64 feet in wide at that level, the lowest level worked in the Hardshell.
 These properties give excellent in dications of making that section fam ous The present owners have formed a development company-a close cor poration- under the plans so success fully followed by the Calumet & Ari- zona people at Bisbee Citizen.

Maricopa's Sheriff Suicides.

A telephone message from Phoenix Wednesday stated that Sheriff J. E. Walker of Maricopa county, had early that morning. committed suicide at his home, using 4 l calibre six-shooter.
 It is the general belief in Phoenix that Sheriff Walker was temporarily insane when he committed the rash deed. The coroner's jury, which was summoned in the case returned 8 verdict to the effect that 'the de- ceased came to his death as the re- suit of self-inficted gunshot wounds while suffering from temporary men tai alteration.
 Through the Southwest and throughout a considera ole portion of the South, Sheriff Walter was widely known. he was a memb-r of Colonel Mosby's band of guerrilas, famed for their bravery and daring deeds in the Civil War Sheriff Walker was with Mosby's band from it's organization until it disbanded and was in the thick of many desperate skirmishes.
 He was 60 years old and a native of Virginia. He is survived by a widow, and by a brother in Tucson and one Tn Bowie Both brothers are Southern Pacific engineers The dead sheriff had held number of public offices of trust and responsi- hility He was District Court clerk under Chief Justice Porter at Phoe- nix, and later under Chief ustice Baker and for a portion of the time under Chief Justice Kibbey. He was coun- ty treasurer of Maricopa before be- ing elected to the office of sheriff.

the Orient are very shady characters, and that our trade there is hurt by them. "The advent" he says, "of a class of Americans like those who came from Manila after a brief experi- ence there, and those who tried their fortunes in connection with the events of the Japanese-R Russian war, has done a great deal to injure the American name and reputation with the Chinese, This class, usually indigent, has, by reason of imposition upon the Chinese, destroyed to some extent a confidence which had existed for many years and had borne good fruit. Every American firm which contemplates sending a representative to China should be very certain of his character, and other things being equal, should choose the quiet, orderly person rather than the reverse type"

Sea GulIs of Manhattan.

Toll and tumult, conflict and confusion, Clank and clamor of the vast ma chine Human hands have built for human bondage
 Tot amid it all you float serene; Circling, soaring, sailing, sweeping Down to glean your harvest from the Drifting at your ease across the har- You have kept the freedom nature gave. Even so the wildwoods of Manhattan Saw your wheeling flocks of white and gray; Even so you circled, sailed and floated Round the half-moon creeping up the bay; Even so your beaded eyes were glisten- While you fiuttered OCT the tidal rips, Screaming with your thin and tremu- lous voices.
 Round the sullen British prison ship. Children of the elemental mother, Fearless hoaters mid the double blue. From the crowded boats that cross the ferries
 Many longing heart goes out to Though the cities climb and close around us,
 Something tells us that our souls are free, While the sea gulls fly above the har- bor,
 While the river flows to meet the sea!

, BROTHER BRYAN.

Brother Bryan is nearing his native heath, and unless some accident hap pens to him or the heath he will place a more or less conqueringly heroic foot on it very soon. But all is not molasses and pie, as 1t was when the talk about welcoming him home began. A good many are by the ears. There is squab- bling over honors, precedence, and things like that, which good Democrats don't theoretically care for. There is also worry lest Brother Bryan be made to appear to be friendly with capital. The use of President Mellen's private car was courteously and generously of- fered for Brother Bryans trip from New York to New Haven. At first it seemed probable that the offer would be accepted, but now MT. Hewitt is re- ported as saying: This talk about President Melen's car is all bosh. MT. Bryan has simply expressed a wish to pay his fare, and we are going to let him. We will use the car just the same and will settle for its use. So there will be no open alliance with capital around here. But the talk is that, in spite of any protest or outcry Brother Bryan will be the guest of Edward F. Goltra of St. Louis on board the latters yacht, the Ilini, frum the time of the liners arrival at Quarantine and until the New York reception begins. There is much opposition to this arrangement which was made by MT. and Mrs, Bryan themselves for a visit to their old time friends, the Goltras, and the oppo- sitlon is based on the fact that MT. Goltra Is connected with some trust The cry that the political purity of Bryan must be preserved inviolate has been raised, and 1t has been hinted that his chances will be seriously impaired if the people find out that he has dared to recognize as friend one of the trust ymagnates.
 Perhaps Brother Bryan will manage to survive his reception, politically and otherwise, but 1t is going to be dan gerous time for him. He has, however, good humor and good health, and he will squeak through such an affair if anybody can. Good luck to him, and a pleasant time when he comes here, pay ing his fare like little man and also like big one.

mechanically, and 1t will moisten the dry earth" The only question remain ing in his mind is the cost of cutting grooves or rifles; but 1t would not seem that this need to be more costly than ploughing by steam, which Is done in many localities. Nothing, he declared, would be of greater material benefit to Denver and Colorado, and the entire Rocky Mountain plateau, than pushing these experiments as a public matter. The senator took Colonel A. T. Morgan, the inventor, to the agricultural depart ment at Washington. where he explain ed his idea of "using horse and engine driven saws to cut narrow but deep grooves in the ground to retain rainfall that now runs off with such quickness that one would think rain never fell on our arid plains"
 This looks simple enough, and per- haps 1t might work well. It certainly would if the western rainmakers could do what they pretend to be able to do.

LET US ELECT coNGREss FrRs

LEI US ELECT CONGRESS FIRST. In presenting Speaker Cannon for the presidential nomination in 1908 the 18th congressional district of Illinois did just what was expected, and also what was proper. Mir Cannon has rep resented that section of Illinois in Con- gress for a generation. His successive majorities show what his nelghbors think of him. In 1904 his vote was more than double that given to his Democratic opponent. His majority in 1906 will also reach very high figures. Ills political enemies all concede this. MT, Cannon, however tells his con- stituents that their first duty is to as- sist in eleoting a Republican congress this year. Let us, he says, in sub sance. give President Roosevelt a Con- gress of his own party in the second half of his term before we begin talk Ing of the man whom we will select to be his successor. If the Democratic should, by any mischance, either elect the Hou7e which is to be chosen this year or cut the Republican lead down to small dimensions, they will be en- couraged to make an active canvass for President two years heance. We must guard against any acidents of this sort. Only through overconfldence can the Republicans lose enough seats in 1906 to put the Democrats in the as- cendant, or to cut the Republican ma- jority so low that the Democrats can be as erious obseruction to sane legis- lation for the next two years.
 On the question of Mir Cannon's pros sibe nomination in 1908 a few things can be said at this stage with propriety Mir Cannon would be strong candi- date. He Is well known all over the country. His prominence in politics fro many years has given him many admirers throughout the United States who would be glad to SC him nomi- mated in 1908. As Senator Cullom has remarked. Speaker Cannon will be in- dorsed by his State for the nomination. Other States will undoubtedly favor him. He is the second, choice in many States which have favorite sons. In- dlans will declare for Fairbanks when 
 l the proper time comes but if Fairbank cannot get the nomination the State will probably go to Cannon. It will be the same with Ohio, whether that State puts forward, for it's first choice, For aker or Taft. But, as Mir. Cannon says, our earliest duty Is to elect Q Reupb- lican House of Representatives next November, and to elect enough Repub- lican Legislatures to keep our lead in the Senate up to the present high fig ures. After we do this and after the new Congress begins the good work which the present Congress has start ed, but which 1t will not have time to
 finish, the talk about selecting a can didate for 1908 will be in order,-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

ly enough, common sense is the most uncommon sense in the world.
 The fact that MT. Roosevelt is still alive is an insuperable argument against the excess of partisan zeal which betrayed the better judgement of the members of the club which had taken up the hysterical suggestion. With all due respect to the most pop ular man in America at the present time, We question the advisability of making his homestead a mecca for pill grimages on the part of the proletariat A few years from now he may be even more popular. Again, he may not. But it will be many years after his death, even If his popularity shall not wane, before his place in American history will entitle him to fellowship with his mighty predecessors whose homesteads are national shrines.-Kansas City Journal.

DOESN'T FILL THE BILL.

Municipal ownership of public utili- ties is still good mouth-filler, but it doesn't seem to fill the bill. Omaha, Nebraska, is one of the cities which wishes it had left well enough alone. It has a city market house on it's hands which cost $1200O where a pri- vate person could have built it for 5000, and the dispatch from there on this subject said that between the market house scandal, the asphalt works, the three-milnon-dollar over- charge in the water works plant, and the failure of the city council to take any steps to rescue the city from the muddle 1t has got into, taxpayers are afraid of indulging any further in municipal ownership ideas
 Peabody, Mass, has just turned its municipal lighting plant over to pri- vate company because it was not prof itable. The town board in its report to the citizens said in explanation of the matter: "The experience of electric companies has been that 6ne of the large items of cost is the amount set aside to cover depreciation and replace ment of apparatus, much of which is out of date long before it is entirely worn out, but which must give way to new and more economical types. Equipment that when installed seemed adequate has been outgrown long be- fore the time to which it was estimat- ed it could be used, Certainly this has been the case in Peabody"
 So it goes. Perhaps, after all, noth- ing can save us but the initiative and referendum.

appointed to look after the work. As soon as it was observed that a drain age system was necessary to relieve the irrigated districts of the waste and stagnant Waters, the retaining of sub. merged lands was experimented with.
 The first experiments were made in the West as incidental to irrigation, but the work has extended rapidly to the Southern States, where millions of acres of submerged lands. including the overhowed regions in Mississippi and Louisiana, are being reclaimed, and a project Is now on foot to make avail- able for agricultural pursuits the ever- glades of Flordia.
 Tn this age of the world" said MT. Elliott, land is in great and general demand; no one recognizes this fact more keenly than the Government It's money expended in reclamation of lands IS most judiciously spent, because it is immediately turned to account. At the outset of this work in whicr I am en- gagged it semed the policy of the de- partment to ask States, counties, ot municipalities seeking benefits from this source, to require that they share with the Government a portion of the expense, but now this is not advanced as a requirement..
 Many people, not familiar with the purposes of these surveys, are left un- der the belief that the Government will install dredging plants and carry the work into execution, but this is a mis- take. Mir. Hidinger's duties are simply to prepareathe survey estimate the an. proximate cost of the work, apportion the probale expense of drainage to each tract or subdivision of land so that each owner of tract of submerged land may apply to the Department of Agriculture and obtain the estimated share of the general cost which he will have to contribute in case the State or county should organize to do the work.
 MT. Hldinger states that the esti- mated area of the watershed sloping to the Colvllle River is 960, ,000 acres.
 County Surveyor Clair Hunt made the first survey and estimates on the area to be covered, submitted them to the Washington State delegation in Con- gress, and 1t was through his continu- ous advocacy of the feasibility of the work that an appropriation was secured for the purpose last winter. It now re- mains for the citizens to be benefited by drainage to organize drainage dis tricts under the State law, issue bonds by popular vote of such districts to raise the necessary funds to ditch the lands, and the work will be complete.

nRA1N1NG oREGoN swAMps-

c, G. Elliott, engineer in charge of drainage, United States Department of Agriculture, and L. L. Hidinger who is his assistant in field work, have been studying the lands in the Colville Valley which it may be possible to drain. The exact acreage of submerged Is not known, but according to estimates, it will not fall much short of 35000 acrea.
 For a number of years it has been noticed that the overflow from irri- gation sought low flat lands in the vlci- nity. and as a result lakes and tule ~vamps were formed where before was a desert. It was found by the Govern ment that if it is to engage in irrigation on 2. large scale, the drainage problem will necessarily present itself and must ha dealt with as incidental to the general scheme, and this suggested the reclamation of submerged lands as a government duty as much as the irriga- fion of the arid lands of the West.
 About three years ago drainage bureau was established in the Depart mept of Agriculture, and MT. Elliot was

REErfF FOR THE DRY GROUND.

What Senator Teller of Colorado says is great idea has struck a Denver man. This man thinks he can make the western desert blossom like the sunflower by saving grooves in the earth and holding the rain that falls in
 the wet season for use in the dry sea- son" Senator Teller believes in this invention, which he describes as down. right feasible" After all my years of study and observation" said the vet eran statesman and pioneer, flor some way to use the rich fruitfulness of these vast plains that are lying dormant as a dry bone, this man told me the secret in five minutes, That buzz-saws cutting the ground in narrow grooves or trenches will produce the result I have not the slightest doubt It is feasible
