Railroad Rates

The decision of the supreme court of the United States that a railroad may be lawfully required by the interstate commerce com mission to make adequate connec- tions with other railroads for the convenience of the public is most important. This is especially so because the court decided that it is "the primal duty of a carrier to furnish adequate facilities to the public" though "some pecuniary loss from rendering such service may result" so long as the general earnings of the carrier are not so impaired as to deprive it of reasonable profit on account of this particular requirement.. The logical result of this decision will be far reaching, for 1t would seem to entirely cut the ground from under the contention of the railroads that where two cent passenger rate has been made the maximum rate, and such would be improbable, therefore it is unreasonable. It is the earnings of the railroad in its entirety over the whole system, both passenger and freight, that must be considered in deciding whether the company is deprived of property without due process of la aw.-Prescott Courier.

The New Penitentiary

Architects have submitted to the board of control two plans for the new territorial prison at Florence, but neither of these plans have as yet been adopted by the board Other plans will be submitted and the board will select from the lot the best plan.
 Governor Kibbey stated in a recent interview that the board would proba bly, decide to construct the prison building of reinforced concrete This material is becom- ing very popular with architects and engineers, as it has stood bet ter against fire and earthquakes than any other material used in modern construction. Walls con- structed of it have greater strength and endurance than those con structed of brick or natural stone
 Active work on the prison will not be commenced before about December 1. as the appropriation for the construction work was made from the territorial general fund and the money will not be in that fund until the taxes for this year shall have been received.

Mining Investigation

The new branch of the geological survey has inaugurated an investi- gation of interest to every state where mining is done, and that is in almost every state in the Union. It is to start special experiment station where there will be tested different brands of explosives un- der different conditions of use to see which are least capable of igniting the dangerous mine gases and causing explosions. Various types of safety lamps are to be tried, inc luding number that have been brought from abroad where they are supposed to be more advanced in the art of safe mining than we are in this country. Tests also will be made of special smoke jackets with which men can go into burning or gas filled mines and rescue imprisoned comrades without waiting for the mine to be cleared by the fans This would save hundreds of lives annually could it be done. A number of other i'm portant safety devices for mining are to be tried immediately and others will be taken up as they are developed. This is a branch of government work that has never been done before and one that is badly in need of doing.-Ex.

Gigantic Land Frauds

Chicago. H., May 24.-A dis patch to the Chicago Tribune from Washington says:
 Amazing revelations of con spiracy to defraud the United States out of millions of dollars worth of mineral and mber lands will be laid before the grand iuries of half dozen states within the next few days.
 The facts, it is alleged, will in volve in criminal charges, many men high in. business and political circles, including one United States sena tor, one former senator, a man reputed to be one of the wealthiest in the world, railroad man known from the Atlantic to the Pacific, two of the wealthiest lum Der barops of the United Statos and numerous smaller fry.
 The frauds, it is declared, were perpretrated in the states of Cali fornia. Colorado, Oregon, Idaho, Washington, Montana, Minnesota and the Dakotas.
 Much of the evidence was secured by Detective Burns, who is engaged in the municipal graft prosecution of San Francisco, and upon con clusion of his work there, Burns. with Attorney Francis J. Heney, of San Francisco. are expected to re- turn to the government service for the prosecution of timber and min eral lard thieves.
 In obtaining a conviction of the men said to be involved in the alleged frauds, the government ex perts regain possession of large areas of forest lands, which are now known as private property.

IiS GAMBLING LAW EVADED?

Now and then reports gain currency in different parts of the territory that the territorial anti gambling law which went into effect the first of April, is not being obeyed to the letter.
 No official charges have yet been made that the law is being broken, but it is freely remarked in non official circles that in certain towns and mining camps games Of chance are being run contrary to law.
 While these reports are not improbable and some of them are probably of good foundation, the fact that none of the offenders have been brought to the bar of justice would seem to prove that most of the reports are rumors- nothing more.
 It has been said in Phoenix that there were several wheels being operated in Yuma and that gamb ling was going on there in full swing. The Gazettee learned from private source that while there are several poker games running the wheels are all still. No par ticular pains are being taken to keep the fact of the existence of the poker games from the authori ties.
 It is believed that in Crown King and other mining camps in that section gambling is going on with more or less secrecy.
 The report has also been circu- lated that Brow, Smith & Belcher. proprietors of the Palace saloon at Prescott, intend to erect a large clubhouse in conjunction with the Palace and run games openly, with the intention of fighting the law if they get into trouble with the courts, as they undoubtedly will, if the report is true-Gazette.

SCHOOL LAWS AMENDED

An amendment to the school laws of the territory made by the last legislature makes it compul- sory for all children between the ages of 6 and II years to attend school for at least six months of the year, instead of twelve weeks, as heretofore, six weeks of which must be consecutive. as formerly provided. It also provided that children shall enter school within two weeks after the opening of the school year, while the old law made no provision as to the time of entering.
 It is also made misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of not less than $25, nor more than $1OO, for any person, company or corpora ton to employ a child under IA years of age, during the school hours of any school day, in the school term of the public school in the district where such child resides, unless such child has been excused from attendance as pro vided in the statute.
 Another provision makes it com pulsory for every parent or guard ian having control of any child be tween the ages of s and IA years, or any child of the age of IA, and under Is, unable to read and write the English language, to send such child to public or private school for at least six months in the year. of which twenty school weeks shall be consecutive, unless such child be instructed at home by competent tutor, in the branches taughtin the
 rimarv and grammar grades, un- .ess such child has already com pleted the grammar course as pre- scribed by the territorial board of education.
 School age is fixed at between 6 and 21 years, and the law gives power to the school trustees of a school district to admit children of non-residents of the territory to the school upon the payment of a reasonable tuition fee, to be fixed by the board. Trustees are also granted power to exclude children of filthy or vicious habits or those suffering from contagious or in- fec:ious diseases.
