provision be made for fitting the in mates for some honorable employment in the future as well as to give them an elementary education. There should be adopted and practiced rules of re- ward and promotion for good conduct and penalties and reduction for bad conduct. To do this there should be classification of the inmates and consequently facilities for their diff ferent housing and other treatment, all of which Is practically impossible at the school as it now is.
 A manual training department would be excellent, but again we are met with difficulties. One solution, it seems to me, is to abandon the pres ent site and buildings. It is quite pos sible that the building there could be put to public or even private use and would not be a complete loss to the Territory A site should then be found with at least f60 acres of land and be had with a reliable supply of water and a proper degree of fertility and reasonably close to a market for the disposal of the products. At least buildings should at once be erected which need not be of great cost-two for the boys and one for the girls so separated each from the other that there could be complete isolation from each other. In addition to these build ings should be of course the necessary barn, shop and other out-buildings. The boys could then be taught various occupations, as farming, blacksmith ing and carpentering, and the girls could learn the work of the laundry. of the dairy and the poultry yard, as well as the necessary seamstress work of the institution.
 Several new locations suggest them subsequently, one above Benson on the San Pedro would be found suitable, or one just below Benson where land and water could be obtained.
 Another plan that suggests itself is that of sending boys and girls, com mitted under our laws for petty of lenses, incorrigibilfty, dependence, etc. etc. to institutions maintained in neighboring states for that purpose as we do now with our deaf, dumb and blind.
 The matter is worthy of your best consideration.
 The Arizona Rangers.
 Although expensive to the Territory, the Arizona Rangers have proved so often their usefulness that 1t seems impossible to recommend the repeal of the law authorizing the force. The area of Arizona is vast, and there are so many remote sections in which the county peaoce officers do not ordina- rily traVel-the remoter sections being | the favorite haunts of criminals of i the more desperate class-that the rangers to large extent perform func- ! tions which can not well be per formed at all by sheriffs or their depu- . ties. The rangers are travelling al- most constantly, and as their identity is kept hidden except when necessary l to reveal 1t, they are enabled to make l many arrests, of great importance. | During the biennial period ended June | 30, 1906, the rangers made a total of ! 1,756 arrests, of which 451 were for l felonies. In addition to these arrests l they made many others in conjunction with local officers, the rangers being frequently called upon for assistance ! by sberiffs and police officers. During the past year one of the most
 
 was to detect a conspiracy which was forming in Arizona by Mexican Citi- zens to start a revolutionary move 1 ment against the government of Mexi- l co, to arrest the ringleaders of the rev ! olutionists, and to aid in their deporta- ton or conviction. When the officers of the rangers brought to my atIen- i tion the facts they had learned as to this conspiracy, at once laid all the available facts before the United States District Attorney, and also ad- vised the State Department at Wash i ington. The projected revolutionary movement was effectively suppressed, and for their efficiency in this matter , the Territorial authorities have been warmly thanked by both the Mexican ! Government and the United States Government.
 1 Great care Is exercised in the enlist ment of men for the ranger force, gen. ] eral good character, sobriety and in. telligence being the chief requisites. It should be our aim to maintain the 1 ranger force of such high standard of efficiency as possible with due regard
 to the expense involved. At present
 there are several vacancies in the force, and while the governor is author
 ized to keep in the field a force com. ! prising one captain, one lieutenant, four sergeants and twenty priyates, it is my purpose to keep the number of
 enlisted men as low as practicable. The total cost of maintaining the ranger force during the fiscal year 1905 was s33, ,354.46. During the fiscal year 1906 it was s33, ,05417.
 | The Public Examiner.
 Il The law enacted by the Twenty-third Legislative Assembly creating the of flee of Public Examiner has operated to the marked advantage of the tax lpaying public. The Public Examin- ler's frequent examinations of official accounts in all the counties are result ing in modern, common-sense methods of keeping accounts. Until the vari- ous county offices that deal with fiscal affairs had passed under his scrutiny 1t was not realized by many that in lnot a few counties the officers were following slipshod and anticipated methods of keeping their books, with resulting confusion and inaccuracy and in some cases appearances of shortages which did not exist Even more important, however, the alert Iness of the Public Examiner has re suited in recovering many thousands of dollars which otherwise would
