Colorado Again Pours into Salton Sea

Yuma, Ariz Dec. 9.--Once more the entire Colorado river is flowing into the Salton Sink. and the I'm
 perial and Coachella valleys are menaced by the rising water. The main line of the Southern Pacific must be removed to higher ground unless the water is brought un der definite control. Thousands of people in Salton basin must lose their homes, including a quarter of million acres of farming land, and the Southern Pacific must build two hundred miles of new main line. Irrigation about Yuma must be abandoned, and the government dam of the Laguna irrigation pro- ject will become an impossibility. There is a conservative estimate that not less than $25 100000 is at stake on the success of the closure.

ANOTHER CLIFTON HORROR

-Morenci, Ariz.-The Clifton flood was the most disastrous ever known here, over half the town being damaged. about twelve houses and other buildings swept away and be- tween fifteen and twenty people drowned, mostly Mexicans. The water in the river is still very high The high water mark was two feet higher than ever before. The peo- pie left their houses and slept on the hillsides around fires.
 The Chase creek district was al most wiped out.
 Great damage was done By the breaking of the concentrator dam in Morenci. The Coronado rail road between Clifton and Metcalf was almost entirely washed out and it will take four weeks to re- pair the damage to the track.
 Several Mexicans were shot for footing stores and houses. The smelter and works of the Arizona Copper Company were badly damaged. The Herald printing office is a complete loss. The Era printing office was buried half way in mud and concentrator tailings. Nearly all the adobe buildings in the city collapsed. Franz store, the Gila bank, the Clifton hotel and several warehouses, all adobe, suffered partial collapse.
 The damage is estimated at close to a million dollars. The town will probably now be moved to higher ground.
 The Arizona & New Mexico rail- road was badly washed out and it will take several days to get train out. Telegraph and telephone wires are all down. Patterson's addition Is still under water and has been almost entirely ruined. The rain lasted four days, melt ing the snow in the mountains It is said that fifteen houses have been destroyed in Metcalf, but no one was drowned. Morenci was not damaged. The Gila river is now booming, and it>is feared that more damage will be done along the railroads.

possible that years may go by before any action is taken on Ari- zona. For fear of this the people of Arizona should carefully watch all the statehood moves at Wash ington and have influences at work to protect her interests. It may be, after all, that the. statehood question is on the eve of settlement and that New Mexico may gain her autonomy. In that case, Arizona must come in also, or within year or two. Mr. Roosevelt. the Enter prise fears. will never sign single statehood bill and 1t would not likely carry over his veto; but if a pressure could be brought on his Porto Rico and Philippine policy, he might be forced into a. comprO- mise. At least, the absurdity of his position on Arizona, compared with his Porto Rico policy, could be brought prominently before the country to Arizona gain with the next administration.
 All of which leads up to the suggestion that it would be a good idea for Arizona to send a strong delegation of workers to Washing ton this winter to watch the course of events and aid Hon. Mark Smith in protecting the territory's interest.-Phoenix Enterprise.

EDITOR WILLIAMS NEWS:
 Dear Sir: In your local column last week I noticed an article upbraiding a couple of young gents for taking the bachelor route in life I, also spoke of the many beautiful and shapely marriagea b!e young ladies in Williams which could be had for the asking.
 Now, 1 have every respect for the man or woman who wrote the article, yet it is a self-evident fact that the writer's eyes have become so dim by years that he can't tell a hapely woman from four sack tied in the middle, ar girl of teens from a woman of three score and ten, or bunch of twelve from one, or one from twelve.
 The authors eyesight and imagi nation is to be pitied. for God knows they have b-come defunct We love the girls and women, all of them. God bless them. but we have our troubles, as our mothers have picked out our wives. so have our fathers, and our brothers and sisters have had a shuff1e at them :; and we have selected one or two ourselves. and not blarsted one of lem has enough to buy herself set of false teeth with from pr. Baker. And to he plain, some of lem are pretty old and toothless.
 This is where dad gets even, and mama admires age and steadiness to teens and giddiness. And yet, "old siren," while we have rode about every wheel of fortune and chance known to man, few cow catchers. smoke stacks and box cars thrown in, we will remain bachelors for veal or woe.
 Take shot at this, the last ar, d final act in the drama of life: Even if we have to ride whistle to Utah where we can live from behind the bars with our many wives, which our friends and you have handed to us, if you will trot forth that ara of form and beauty you boast of. we will vouch that Salzman's teams will he busy doubling up beds, etc, for the next week.
 Yours truly.

ARIZONA NEEDS DELEGATION

In many respects Theodore Roosevelt is a good man, and sees s.rsight;;' but when.it comes to the vital question of citizenship that underlies the national government, he is as oblique- eyed as Chink. In his message to congress he stated that the people of Porto Rico should be made American citizens. The people of that country are brown; they have been dominated by Spanish influence for over a hundred and fifty years; they know nothing about American freedom or American institutions, and yet Mir. Roosevelt wants to make them American citizens and leave the people of Arizona under carpet-bag rule and territorial vassalage for fifteen years to come simply because they did not fall in with his ideas and make them selves subservient to the brown people of New Mexico His position 'on this matter would be ludicrous were it not for it's severe injustice.
 The trouble with Mr., Roosevelt seems to be that he cannot stand defeat. If everything does not go his way, he wants to bullyrag and chew the ears of the other fellow 1t would, in fact be 2 great pleas ure to him to make the people of Porto Rico and the Philippine Islands :, full fedged citizens and leave Arizona territory simply because we crossed him mighty well. But can he do it? Will the congress of the United States acquiescs in plan that puts the brown men of the Philippine Islands and Porto Rico on the same governmental footing with :the white citizens of Arizona? The settlement of this question means : much to Arizona, and the chances are that it will be settled at this session of congress.
 If congress goes on and leaves : New Mexico and Arizona alone : and the administration adopts the . territorial form of government for the Philippines and Porto Rico it is

The Poor Not Becoming Poorer.

A favorite assertion of Socialists
and demagogues is that the rich are
becoming richer and the poor poor
er; and by this appeal they cause
some people to follow them who pos
sess themselves every evidence of
the untruth of the statement.
No man of ordinary intelligence
who gives the subject serious thought
can believe for moment that any
class of the population of this coun-
try is poorer than it was genera
ton ago. Were the charge true, it
would be practicable to find class
of people enjoying less of the com
forts and advantages of civilizatson
than people of the same class enjoy
ed twenty-five or thirty years ago.
The worst trouble-breeder and dis
turber of the peace and good order
of society is unable to point to any
such class. The condition of the so
called poor instead of becoming
worse has steadily become better as
the nation has advanced and the ag-
gregate wealth has increased.
A man may pay out more cash for
the support of his family than his
father or his grandfather did, but he
aud his wife and children receive a
great deal more. Thirty years ago
the wealth of Croesus would not
have purchased electric light to il
illuminate dwelling or telephone
system with which to communicate
with ones friends. But both elec
tric light and telephones are com
manded by day laborers at the ex
penditure of few dollars a year.
Thirty years ago, rich and poor alike
were forced to content themselves
with horse cars as means of public
transportation in cities, whereas now
any one for the same expenditure
can secure five or ien-mile ride on
rapid electric line.
The foregoing are but illustra
tions of what is open to the observa
ton of every one that with the pro-
gress of society the condition of the

Finance is the science of manipu-

pays bonus to get the money; it
then lends the money to the bank at

back upon city warrants at 6 per
cent The money thus draws l per

pays p per cent The science is
vindicated by showing a profit of 81

the money and Banker Riley, who is

Buffalo Jones was in the city two
days this week with herd of twelve
buffalo which he was taking from the
Whitney Park in New Hampshire to

some buffalo to Mr. Whitney num-
her of years ago and the herd in
creased to 200 and these twelve was
a part of this increase. Mr.. Jones
was given a hearty welcome by his
old friends and neighbors. When
he saw the evidence of the rapid de-
velopment of the country the old
Garden City fever attacked MIR.
Jones harder than ever and he an
nounced that he hoped to come back
