Sell all you can and buy all you

makes the town that much poor

in something that will give some

 The man had evidently jumped from the porch. a distance of fifty feet. with the evident intention of taking his life. His right shoulder was dislocated and he was otherwise bruised about the body. The mans neck was also badly wrenched and II was to this fact that his death was probably due.
 The dead man was about 40 yesfs of age and was thought to be me chanical engineer from Salina Cruz. While in the city he was a sufferer from i'll health and it is said he dissi- pated to a great extent.

Louis c. Hln. engineer in charge of the Tontc Basin reclamation project, has told the board of governors of the Salt River Valley Water Users associ- atiou in plain words that the dime has come for the farmers of this valley to convince the department of interior that they are going to be able to settle the difficulties that have arisen over priority rights to water in this valley.
 Members of the board Of governors have realized for some time that there is need of action, but the seriousness of the situation was brought more .forcibly than ever 10 them late yes terdav afternoon by the reading of a letter from Arthur P Davis, chief en- gineer, to President B. A. Fowler, in which he stated that the rights must be settled and settled without further delay.
 Engineer Hill informed the board of governors that he had been aware of this feeling for some time, and per sonaIIy he had interceded with the government for more time in which to settle disputes in the Salt River Val lev. In his opinion the farmers should lose no time in adjusting their diff culties.

BOARD OF CONTROL
 WILL VISIT BENSON
Councilman Roemer Says h. stitution Has S80,000'For
 Maintenance.

The Benson Press is informed by Councilman Steve Roemer that ss7 ,50O was appropriated by the territorial leg islature, which adjourned last week, for the territorial industrial school at Benson, and that the sum of $6,00o was left over from former appropria- tons for the school He also stated that there Is due the institution from various counties of the territory enough to bring the totals up to ESQ., 900, to be used during the next two years for maintenance of the school and improving the premises, providing all money due from the counties shall be paid
 It is doubted if all sums due from counties will be paid, but Mir. Roemer thinks there will be enough besides the $50,000 set apart for maintenance to develop an ample supply of artesian water to irrigate the forty acres of
 ground which belong to the school, and leave S20,000 to construct two buildings which are contemplated.
 One of the proposed structures will be for the purpose of teaching the
 boys mechanical trades. Under the new law every boy who shall be placed in the school hereafter will remain un- til 21 years old, so there will be time
 to acquire an education and learn a trade.
 Mir Roemer stated that the board of control will be in Benson next week,
 at which time the site for large well will be selected, and arrangements made to drill the well, which Superin- 1 tendent Mahoney says will be in the vicinity of the small well now in use. 1 The new well will be started with cas- 1 ing large enough to insert another casing and keep on going down through the lower aTtesian hard pan,
 and open up the water which was tap ped by the S. P. railway company in the last well, which the company is preparing to utilize by means of larger
 casing ordered especially for that pur- pose.
 The school is running in good order, the handsome new brick laundry build ing being plastered inside. and the ed ucational department going well under Prof. w. H. Lee, a well known Phoe- nix teacher who has. until recently
 been member of the territorial board of examiners.

SOUTH'h PACIFIC IS
 FIGHTING SPRECKELS
Proposed San Diego & Arizona Railroad Meets with
 Strenuous Opposition.

YUMA. April 4.-The first oppOsi- tion to the San Diego and Arizona railroad. the new Spreckles line which comes to Yuma, was met and overcome in a measure at San Diego yesterday. DemurTers in the con demnation proceedings brought by the road last December were over ruled by Judge Torrance and the de- fendants were given twenty days in which to answer.
 It is hinted that the defendants rep resent the Southern Pacific and that they will do all in their power to block the efforts of the new road from procuring a right of way into San Diego
 Last December, when the condemna- ton proceedings were begun. there were nearly 200 defendants named. Each of these, with the exception of the ones who appeared in court, have sold their property to the Spreckies interests
 Carfsso canyon, the point contested is looked upon as the key to the des- ert. It is the only feasible route east from San Diego and is located three miles north of the Mexican line. By procuring this canyon and Jacumba pass the San Diego and Arizona rail road has shut off all possible compe tition for a line wholly in the United States between Yuma and san Diego.
