LET THE PEOPLE KNOW.

The water commissioners might as
we'll stand UP and face the music first
as last. If they really have contract
ed a number of bills in their effort to
t defeat the taxpayers who are trying
to save the city's money, the people
are bound to hear of it.
The idea of trying to buy land at
$500 an acre was outrageous in the
first place II was aggravated when
the board hired special counsel to
fight the matter, picking out one of
the most expensive lawyers in the
state and paying him out of the pub
lie treasury
But if rumors are correct, the last
is not yet. 1t is well known that in
order to put up case in court it
was necessary for the commissioners
to have expert testimony to back up
their claim that the price of $500 an
acre was not exhorbitant.
Some of these experts, it is under
stood, "fell down" completely and
I told the water commissioners that
the land did not begin to be worth
that much money. Regardless of
what they said, however, these ex-
perts do not give opinions for moth
ing any more than lawyers do. They
are now clamoring for their pay.
It was some time before the wa
ter board got up courage enough to
pay the special counsel's bill, thereby
letting the people know how reck-
lessly the public funds were being
handled. 1t is no wonder there were
not enough commissioners present
Wednesday night to make quorum.
These experts bills are staring them
in the face
Who is to pay them? They will
doubtless amount to several thou
sand dollars, all told. Is this money,
like that paid TO the special counsel,
TO come out of the pockets of the tax
payers? 1t is pretty hard for the peo-
pie to have to foot all the bills Here
is the situation from the taxpayers
standpoint:
They are paying each water COM
missioner a salary of $500 a year TO
look after the city's interests.
They are paying an attorney a neat
sum to prevent the water commits
sioners giving away the city's money
for lot of worthless land
They are paying experts 10 show

anissioners proposed 10 pay for it.

COMPANY Is NOW STRANDED IN
 DInDrr
 DI3D[L
Brought Here From East Play- CTS Are Forced To Shift For Themselves. - Give Better Performance Than Ever.

Without exception the bill present ed at the Orpheum theater last even ing under the head of al benefit per. formance was the best witnessed by the public since the ' aggregation known as the Emerson company ar rived in the city. The audience, how ever, was not as large as at previous performances. although the present series of performances is being put on for the express purpose of afford ing the members of the company enough money to get back to their homes in the east, whence they came to Bisbee about ten days ago.
 The path of the Orpneum Theater company has not ben strewn with roses at any stage, but during the past couple of weeks thorns were en- eountered at nearly every step in the for info attachments sued out by cred itors. In order to endeavor to work off some of the indebtedness and pay form of attachments sued out by cred the city by F. A. Sater, lately hired manager. from the east, the house was operated.
 It was reported that on Sunday night a stormy scene took place after the SHOW DCCduSE Ct IAS AeNNh N-~-NN performers had not received their wages, and the further fact that the leading people, Emerson and McCon- nell. who it seems were secured. wanted to leave town and carry OH wardrobes belonging to other mem bers of the company.
 As a result of the rumpus Miss Ell erson and Mcconnell decided to leave. and the remainder of the company with no salary other than oeeasionai advances for meals and necesaries' were left to work their way. ser les of benefits was arranged to taKe place last evening, this evening anu tomorrow evening. ,s
 Looking at the matter from coiu- blooded standpoint the performance last evening was far superior to the nroductions of the aggregation undeI inc direction of Miss Emerson ana NeConneu. who semed to have an unsuitable desire to either be singing or dancing all the time. It mlgnt here be stated that the dancing ol inc leading lady was performance well calculated to give a person lh inc audience an opinion that she would look a great deal better anu would be infinitely more graceiul standing still.

GILA VALLEY IS
 IMMENSELY RICH Land Values Are Steadily h. ereasing And Prices Of
 Products Good.

A Solomonyille correspondent writes to the Republican: The Gila river has a length in Arizona of oyer 300 miles, yet the section ussaliy referred 10 as the Giia valley is only about 40 miles long. Ten miles east of Solo knoxville the river comes out of box canyon, only few hundred feet in width and the flat area gradually wid- cez 10 a breadth of four miles. This continues to the vicinity of Geronimo. forty miles below, where 1t again mar rows into the San Carlos canyon.
 This forty mile stretch has become ore of the finest farming sections any where in the west and tins season Is by far the most prosperous and profit able it has eyer experienced. The wa ter is taken from the river by about twenty different canals, all co-opera- tive concerns owned by the farmers along the way h a general way there are under the control of the district court. and a water commissioner, ap pointed by the court, apportions the water to each.
 The two canals at the head Of the valley, the Montezuma and the San Jose. are the most valuable on ac count of their priority rights. The stock of the latter has a par value oi $100 share. but the selling value is <700 and will soon be 5000. It is, is truth, almost impossible to buy . share at any price.
 Land in the vicinity of Solomon vile has advanced during the presen season fully one-third. Until recent, S1oo an acre vas considered the ex treme price. but nov sales are fire quently made at s130 and still higher It is freely predicted that anothe prosperous season wilF send the pric, to sz60.

 The valley has great resources aside from the alfalfa crop. The Globe mining district furnishes a fine mar ket for fruit, vegetables and dairy products. For the most part, however, the farmers are not versed in that phase of farming and have yet to learn how to grow and market their crops to the best advantage.
