unless they intend to complete it.
 'Ths people of Arizona can well an preciate what this improvement will mean to the country surrounding Fl Paso. because you have in this terri tory a wide area that is going to be made most valuable by the same means. There is no doubt that large tracts of land in the vicinity of the river and for many miles distant. will be turned into productive gardens. where now only cactus and sage brush are very prolific.
 Taking all these matters into con sideration one can readily sn~ that Fl Paso is on the high road of progress But besides all of these things there Is another source which is supplying wealth and prosperity to the Pass City. and that is the trade and sup port of all this great mining distrlct. of which Bisbee forms such an en- yiable portion. I do not think there is 6 merchant in. Fl Paso who does not realize the importance of this district to their own prosperitr The people feel that they are truly dp"en- dent on it to a great extent"

 WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-Hum- phrey of Washington. in favoring the ship subsidy bill in the house today, said it was an extension of the pro tective system. and said:
 Hill and Hartman are not in fav- or of these bills. The hand of liar riman is In this house now; it is over on the Gemocratic side trying to uelcaL these bills because Hartman wants them defeated"
 He said he would not vote to report any bill that would not provide that the flag shall go to the Philippines. He charged tEe democratic party with tryinS to keep this country from hold ing ccmmunicaticr with the Philip pines in order to bring discrace unon our administrator in these islands.

Fl PASO COMING ID FRONT SAYS
 SLATER
Editor of Herald Speaks of Some Of Many improve ments Which Are Making of Pass City a Metropolis.

Among the passengers on in coming train from the east yesterday morning was H. D. Slater. editor of the Fl Paso Herald. who is here for the purpose Of attending 10 some matters of private business. He expects to re- turn to the Pass City this evening.
 When seen last evening by Review reporter. and asked concerning con ditions at Fl Paso. MT, Slater said:
 q do not remember any time in the history of Fl Paso. when such a gen eral air of progress and prosperity was prevalent as at the present tine. Municipal Improvements. wide-reach- ing in character are under way; mag nifcent buildings are under course of erection, and others are planned for construction during the next twelve months; people seem to be Hooking into the city from all portions of the country; the federal government has assured the completion of the Rio Rio GranGe reclamation project; in short. everything seems to tend to the development and growth of ne tropolis is present in Fl Paso.
  what is planned for the r~-t year. understand that more than S3,OO0,OO0 worth of new buildings will be erect ed in the city within the next twelve months. comprising residences and business blocks that will compare most favorably with structures throughout the country This build ing activity is undoubtedly the result of the influx of people into the city.
 Outside capital has taken an in terest in Fl Paso and during the last thirty days real estate amounting in value to upwards of sS00,00O has changed hands
 Municipal Improvements are also under way. the most notable at 1'-~ present time being the paving of the city's streets. This work has been in progress for some time. and it is ex- pected that it will be completed within the next couple of months at whicn time We will be able to boast of having four miles of -nayed streets in the city.
 @But probably the most far-reach- ing improvement which is under way is the controlling of the Rio Grands river. which is now assured as a re suit of the appropriation by congress of s1 .000,0 ,0o0 to commence the work. Tn order to carry out the proposed work along the lines which eminent engineering authorities have stated will be most beneficial. 1t will be nee essary for the government to spend S7,000. 900. The appropriation of the first instaliment. think. is conclusive evidence that the work will be com pleted because I cannot conceive oi our statesmen investing such large amount of money to start somethin~

s3O.OOO Loss.

Fire broke out in the middle of a
brick block in Main Street at Newton,
and before it could be checked at
least 100000 worth of property was
destroyed The blaze which started
in the store of J. E. Madden, was no
doubt of incendiary origin, the motive
of which is not known.
just about the time the fire was
checked in this block small blaze
was discovered in a two-story frame
building 200 or 800 yards distant,
occupied in the first story as a sam
pie room and used upstairs as bed
rooms by several people. This was
evidently fired by some one, as it
started on the inside of a room where
some household goods were stored.
and it was impossible for sparks TO
fall from the big fire.
While going into this building to
learn about the fire 7. NJ. Seaman,
leading citizen of this place, was
struck twice on the head with knucks
by some one who did not want the
building entered, and, while the In
juries inflicted were not serious, they
We're very painful W.<Hooper, who
occupied one of the upstairs rooms,
was arrested and carried before Mr..
Scanlan, who said that he was the
man who struck him. There was con-
siderable excitement at the time and
the man was rushed off to Forest and
placed in Jail for safe keeping. AT
ter daylight this mans rooms was
searched and twenty quarts of liquor
and a lot of cocaine found. Af1idavits
were made before the Mayor against
Hooper on three charges assault with
intent to kill, selling whiskey and sell
ing cocaine. The hearing has not been
set yet.

ROCKEFELLER'S FORTUNE
Not Over Three Hundred Millions,
and Annual Income is Only Pit
tance of Twenty Millions.

The magnitude of John d Rookie
feller's fortune was developed in an
inquiry made in New York Thursday.
In reilly to a question, Frederick T.
Gates, Mr.. Rockefeller's business rep
rcsentative, said:
There have been a great many
amusing misstatements on this sub
ject. Several years ago, Senator Hoar.
in the senate, accredited Mr.. Rookie
feller with fortune of one thousand
million of dollars. Quite recently a
statement has been made, and pub
lished widely, thrc 1ghout the coun-
try. that his annual income exceeds
one hundred millions of dollars. Now,
the facts are that Mr. Rockefeller has,
at various times, himself, authorized
a statement that his fortune cannot
exceed two hundred and fifty to three
hundred millions of dollars Further
more, his income, instead of being
one hundred million of dollars. or
anything like it, cannot in his most
prosperous year have exceeded fif-
teen to twenty millions of dollars. The
public generally are under the i'm
preston that he owns a majority of
the Standard Oil stock The facts are
that Mr.. Rockefellers holdings of
Standard Oil stock are about 20 per
cent"

have interested themselves in the pro-
position. The promoters will guar
antee to erect the necessary buildings,
furnish teachers, courses of study and
pupils, the city on its part to donate
an appropriate tract Of land conven-
iently located for the purpose.

More Room for Steerage.

The navigation bureau Of the de-
partment of commerce and labor, in
a statement points out that the effect
of section AZ Of the new immigration
act which has just passed both houses
OF congress, is an increase after Jan.
|, 1909, by nearly 25 per cent in the
minimum space allowed for each
steerage passenger on ocean steam
sers coming from Europe, Asia, AZ
rica, Australia and South America.
Son the decks where steerage pas
sengers are mainly required to take
passage, it says the law of 1882 re-
quires that there shall be 100 cubic
feet of space for each passenger. As
the height between decks is usually
about seven feet, the deck or floor
space allowed is thus IA 1-2 square
feet. The British law Of 1894 requires
fifteen square feet on the deck and
the new immigration law increases
this area to eighteen feet. The legis-
lation in effect follows the develop
ments in modern ocean steamship
building. Many of the large steamers
and some of the less tonnage already
provide accommodations as ample rs
the minimum prescribed by the new
act.
Generally speaking the passenger
steamers from Northern Europe do
not carry any more passengers in the
steerage than will be permitted after
1909 under the new legislation. The
bill will apply chiefly to steamers
coming from the Mediterranean which
already carry at times nearly to their
full legal capacity and must two years
hence either carry fewer passengers
or increase their accommodations.

| WANT STATE
REFORMATORY
FOR SEGRATIoN OF YOUTHFUL
PRISONERS.
RHODES SCHOLARSHIPS
Four Successful Contestants In The
State. Hattiesburg Wants Pro-
posed State Normal.

As far back as twelve or fifteen
years ago the question of state le-
formatory was raised in the legisla-
ture and since the establishment OF
cotton factories in different parts Of
the state the child labor law has been
agitated. 1t is argued now that Mis-
sissippi can easily provide for the Sc
gregation of the youthful prisoners
from the older and more hardened in
mates of the penitentiary. Besides
the big farm in Sunfiower county,
which is now in condition to furnish
employment to all the convicts, tho
state has the farm at Belmont, the
Oakley farm and the Rankin farm,
and either of these three, it is urged,
could be used for a reformatory with
out entailing any extra expense.
A prominent candidate for the leg
islature in this county who has de-
clared emphatically for a reformatory,
has been gathering statistics to show
that reformatory could be made not
only self-sustaining but even renum-
erative if the state so decided. The
most interesting statistics thus far
gathered are from the reform school
or prison in Illinois.
The report of this institution for
the year ending December 81, 1906,
shows that the average number of in
mates for the var was 1,026. These
youthful prisoners attended school reg
ularly for nine months in the year,
June, July and August being given
to vacation. All the inmates attended
school except those who had passed
the eighth grade. The industrial ex-
hibit made by this reformatory show
ed that the prisoners were taught ev-
cry kind of useful trade. During the
year they manufactured and sold a
total of $151, ,999 OF overalls which
were sold on the open market. They
also did all of the printing for the va
r;ous state institutions possible to be
done by them, and aggregating total
OF $26,179. Besides these two i'll
oustries the prisoners were required
TO do blacksmithing, cabinet work, car
oenter work, knitting, making clothing
masonry and plastering, painting and
glazing, making shoes tin-smithing and
farm and garden work. There is also
a prison band, a barber shop, laundry
and the like and inmates attend to
the kitchen, dining room, hospital, ma
chinery and in fact do all the domestic
work about the institution. In addi-
tion to the educational features and in
dustrial training, the morals of the
prisoners are carefully watched over
and they receive religious instruction
also.

Still at Odds.

Paris.-The ecclesiastical and state
authorities are still at odds over two
points relating to the contracts for
church leases, namely: The clause
holding the parish priests, as les
sees, responsible for keeping the
churches in repair and the clause pro-
hibiting members cf dissolved relig-
ious orders from becoming parties to
contracts. The church authorities
maintain that it is impossible for the
priests to personally assume liability
for keeping the churches in repair
This clause, however, is considered to
be adjustable, but, On the other point,
the prelates who are close to Cardi-
nal Richard, less optimistic claiming
that the former monks are now Secu-
lar priests. The negotiations on the
latter point are apt to be slow, as
Cardinal Richard must consult with
his colleagues in the episcopate and
secure the approval of the vatican at
every step. The clerical newspapers
claim that the continuation of the
negotiations is a distinct victory for
the church.

No Definite Plans.

Adjutaht General Fridge; when ask
ed as to the eneampment prospects
for 1907, intimated that there is moth
ing definite in view, though it is pref
ty well understood that Columbus has
a call if the State encampment is
held. There is a disposition on the
part of some members of the Guard
to arrange the encampment features
for this year so that a section Of each
regiment can attend the state encamp-
ment, wherever it may be held, and
another section hold itself in reserve
for the general outing at Chickamau-
ga, if such should be held. 1t is
problematical, however, if any Of the
Mississippi soldiers will be able to go
out of the State during August, at
which time it is probable that the
general encampment will be held, since
August is the primary election month
when every man who is entitled to a
vote will most probably wish to re-
main at home, and this may lead to
the entire state organization going in
to the state encampment and side
stepping the Chickamauga event, so
as to be at home during August.
