RAILROAD WORK.

Work on the street railway is pro-
crossing rapidly. During the past
week rails have been laid down Wash
ington street from Third to and across
the slough bridge. The north side of
the bridge was torn nm and the old tim
bers, some of which were decayed, were
taken up and replaced with new and
heavier ,ones. The rails were laid so
that their top surface is even with the
planking. The work will be carried on
to the west side without any stop.
Another crew is at work at present pre-
pairing the track on Third street for the
brick pavement Broken rock was first
thrown in between the ties and on top
Of this cement and gravel is being
sets there will be solid base for the
brick and the ties will be almost i'm.
movable. The company has ordered its
vitrified brick for the pavement, but it
has not as yet arrived That the over
seer of construction, Mr.. Parsons, is an
experienced railroad builder is quite
apparent. Without the use of a transit,
level or any other instrument he lays
out the line ahead of the workmen,
indicates the level to which the rails
are to be set and gets them in align
ment. This is all done with sharp
eye. Many of the rails being laid are
re rolled steel.

Statehood in Five Years

The Washington Post publishes an interview with Hon. NJ. A. Smith, in the course of which Mir. Smith said:
 II believe that within four or five years we shall have a law pro- viding seperate statehood for both Arizona and New Mexico. It is inevitable for the reason that the developed resources and increased population of each of the territories will demand it. One county and many towns in Arizona have doubled their population in the last five years, and it is safe to predict that the entire territory will in half a decade, have more than 100000 people, instead of the 100000 it now has.
 Meanwhile Arizona has a greater wealth and produces more per capita than any stale pr territory in the union. It offers splendid opportunities to young men of integrity and ability. It is a grow ing country, has great future, furnishes climate that stimulates men to do things, and has social atmosphere where man is honored for his true worth alone, and where every man gets square deal"

Leigh Hanged

After resorting to every legal technicality known to the law to save his neck, and failing to get a reprieve from Gov. Kibbey, Glenn ent c. Leigh was hanged yesterday afternoon at two o'clock for the brutal murder of his mistress. Jennie Bauters, at Goldroad on the 3rd day of September. 1905. Up to the last moment Leigh appeared to be unconcerned, but when the sheriff entered his cell to take him to the gallows he collapsed. As the door opened he said II suppose you have come for mel" and when the sheriff replied in the affirmative Leigh made a brave struggle to maintain his nerve, but his limbs refused to support him and he pitched forward on his face, his head striking against projection of the cell. After a moment he opened his eyes, but was unable to arise and the officers had to carry him to the scaffold. He had to be held up while the officers adjusted the rope around his neck and drew the black cap down over his face. While he was apparently conscious his collapse was so complete that he realized nothing that was going on. The trap was sprung at two o'clock and the body fell Imply through, death coming without a struggle. After hanging thirty minutes the body was cut down. Kingman Miner, Jan. 19.

THE SALTON SEA
tCommunicated.l

Our friend, the president, seems to be having some trouble in pre- senting his second attempted bouquet to Arizona. The first one was the joint statehood proposition. He is endeavoring to financially assist the settlers of the Imperia valley tor could it be the Southern Pacihc railway in lambs clothing) to repair the break in the Colorado river and thus save the Southern Pacific railway from an overflow, and some of the farmers from being turned into fishermen.
 Now, in the Imperial valley, the largest estimates have not placed over 10000 people. The valley would not all be destroyed by the continual flow of the Colorado river as the evaporation would exceed the flow in time and the remaining land would still be susceptible to cultivation through irrigation It is therefore highly proba ble that outside of the numer- ous widows and orphans who own stock in the Southern Pacific rail- way company, not more than 5000 people would be inconvienced by the water.
 Now, if all people are equal, does it mean Arizonans too? Are proba bly, 25,O0O people who depend on the rains on the Arizona plateau equal to the five thousand in Cali fornia? If so they should use every means to have the govern ment remain neutral in this fight between the Colorado river, backed by Providence, and the Imperial valley people, backed by the Southern Pacific. Our legislators have just been elected, and it is up to them.
 The Arizona plateau is cut off from the Pacific by the coast range which, in cooling. absorbs most of the moisture from the clouds which otherwise, being brought by our chronic winds from the southwest, would be precipitated upon striking the cooler region of our altitude. What little does escape the coast range can be carried by us in a warm year unless we can get some rain first as a starter to cool our region to a temperature less than the coast range.
 Now the Salton sea is or would be large body of water in region of very heavy evaporation which lies directly from where our winds come without any barrier between it and us in the way of a mountain range.
 Beside getting practically all of the evaporation from the Salton sea we would also have it for a starter to let us receive the evapor ation from the Pacific in rain. Now this is rough theory but will the old timers just consider that our present period of good rains was coincident with the Salton sea and remember that we have not had much rain since the Salton sea dried up and that the last time it was there we had plenty of rain.
 The cattle and sheep industries, the mines that need water, the ranchers in this country and the farmers in the Salt river valley who depend on this plateau as a water shed should do all they can to investigate this matter and if convinced that the Salton sea is doing good for this part of the country should use every means in their power, both civil and military. to convince ours and the national legislature to at least be neutral in this fight. Water is king in this territory and we should worship 1t.

 Washington, D. C., Jan. 3, 'O7. ORDER
 THE COMMISSIONER OF THE GENERAL
 LAND OFFICE.
 Sir: Referring to the circular of instructions to special agents of your office, approved by me on January 29, 1904, relative to their duties under the act of February 25, 1885 (23 Stat.,r 32D, entitled "An act to prevent unlawful occupancy of the public lands, " you are advised that said circular is hereby amended and modified as follows:
 Strike out from said circular paragraphs 5 and 6, and insert in lieu thereof the following:,
 It shall be the duty of the special agent on receipt of any charge or complaint or upon information being acquired by him from any source, that an unlawful, inclosure is being maintained by any person or persons, association, or corpor- ation, to at once proceed to secure sufficient data, including a aescrip- tion of the lands inclosed, with reasonable certainty, not necessari- ly by metes and bounds, nor by governmental subdivisions of sur veyed lands, but only so that the inclosure may be identified and the person or persons guilty of the violation, as nearly as may be, and by description if the name can not, on reasonable inquiry, be ascer- tained. and 10 at once submit such case, with the data thus obtained, to the United States attorney for prosecution.
 It shall be the duty of the special agent, and he shall be so instructed to be alert and vigilant to detect the existence of unlawful inclosures in his district and to proceed in accordance herewith as herein above directed, and that he is not to construe his duties as requiring that. before proceeding in the mat ter of an unlawful inclosure, there must first be filed with him a formal complaint by some person or persons acquainted with the facts, but it shall be his duty, as hereina bove stated, to take the initiative himself.
 In this connection you are fur ther instructed, by direction of the president, to at once notify all of the special agents and receivers and registers of local land offices throughout the United States, and to give the widest publicity thereto that the provisions of said act of February 25, 1885, for the summary destruction of inclosures and obstructions existing in violation of said act will be rig:dly enforced on and after April 1, 1907.
