ment: "A large and varied assortment constantly on hand. |" And yet, great as is their number, infinitely varied as are their attractions, and boundless as are the facilities they afford for busi- ness, pleasure or health promotion, there are thousands of Americans who cannot find in all our stock and store an island that suits them; hence they seek islands that are not under the Stars and Stripes. Some go to the "Isles of Greece, where burning Sapho loved and sang" Some prefer Japan. Dutch and French islands in the Orient are affected by many Americans. Others resort to the Danish and British West Indies. Bermuda, in her ineomparable onion, possesses a lure that draws and holds few discerning citizens of the United States.

FALLS DOWN SHAFT
Miner Killed Near Tucson, but Bottle
 of Beer Remained Unbroken

A miner employed at the Mineral Hill mines, near Tucson, took fearful plunge down a shaft, distance of 40 feet, and struck on his head. His skull was crushed and death was instantane- ous. News of the accident was brought to Tucson by County Surveyor William Goetz, who was at the mine at the time of the accident.
 The unfortunate man had been drink ing and wandered too close to the shaft. He was warned about his danger, but paid no heed, and his recklessness cost him his life.
 The name of the miner is not known. It was learned, however, that he was a married man and leaves large fam fly.
 There was some doubt at Mineral Hill as to what disposition to make of the remains. Instructions were sent from the camp by telephone to Twin Buttes and from there by messenger, directing that the remains be taken to Tucson, where an inquest was held by the cor oner.
 A remarkable feature about the fatal ity is that bottle of beer which the unfortunate man had in his hand when he took the awful plunge was found un. broken in the bottom of the shaft.

OUR NUMBERLEss ISLANDS

"How many islands are under the sovereignty of the United Statesl' is the question over which two western newspapers are waging an animated dis pute, says the Washington Post. It is doubtful if any person on earth or even the National Geographic society and all it's auxiliaries in convention assembled inquiry. It is known, however, that the number of islands under the sovereignty of this republic is greatly in excess of the number under our constitution. We made new departure in our treaty with Spain by which we took over more than twelve hundred islands, leaving the political status of their inhabitants to be determined by congress, thus for the first time setting up our flag over peo- pies to whom we denied our cOnstitu- tion. The precise number of the Philip pine islands has not been definitely as- certained and probably never will be- That number is variable. To some of the smaller islands there is likely any day or night to come "the time for dis appearing" and when it comes they take a header, down they go." But while that is going on, new islands of diminutive size "bob up serenely from below"
 Along the Atlantic and Pacific coasts and especially along the Alaskan coast there are many islands. Massachusetts and Maine are highly favored in this respect. The group under our constitu- tion that is most remote from the main land is the Sandwich or Hawaiian group. Little Guam, between Hawaii and Manila, is governed by a naval of ficer. The inhabitants are amiable, but not enterprising. In the South Pacific We have one of the Samoan islands, not large one, and that, too, is governed by naval officer. The inhabitants are doeile and of kindly disposition, but they are disinclined to patronize tail ors, dressmakers, milliners or dealers in haberdashery. There is no appearance of what Mir John Wanamaker calls Paris thoughts" wrought into their lingerie. Time and space would fail us were we to undertake the task of rounding up each of our islands. Our supply is simply immense. We might say of it as the old-time dry goods mer- chant used to solemnly remark in his unchanged and unchangeable advertise

NOT kNX|OOS F0R
 SUMMER FLOODS
Chief Engineer Hill, in Charge of Roose- welt, Believes that if Rainy Season Holds Of While, Floods Will not Interfere with Reclamation Work.

Engineer Louis C. Hill returned this morning from Los Angeles, where he left Mrs. Hill and their little daughter, Marjorie. On his way back Mir. Hill stopped off at Yuma and inspected the Laguna project, says Phoenix paper.
 He discovered while there that the levees built by the Colorado Develop ment company to keep the Colorado river from flowing over into the I'm perial valley in time of flood had never been tested, and it was not known whether they would serve their purpose, though for two weeks the river has been higher than was ever before recorded.
 The reason for this is that the chan nel of the river has been changed. There is pressure against the dam across the Salton sea intake, but from there the water has turned off farther to the east ward. leaving the levees on high and dry land, the same as though there had been no flood at all.
 This is regarded as unfortunate by the development company, according to IAiii, t' bhN hNtAS "aNpAaei it would not seem so. The channel of the river may change back at any time, throwing the water against the levees.
 The builders would much rather their efficiency had been tested now than at some future time, when their force of workmen has been taken away. Were they to break now, men would be on hand to repair them, but these men will be discharged, and when the channel does change great damage may be done gotten together to fix them.
 Work on the Laguna project had to be abandoned two weeks ago, when the first high water came down. Moth ing there has yet washed out, and it is hoped that the flood will pass over with out doing any damage.
 It is calculated that had the river not changed it's course there would now have been eight feet of water against the levees. MT. Hill says the volume of water in the Colorado is treemndous. At Yuma is a place where trough has been worn out forty feet deep and 200 feet wide, through which the water runs like mill race.
 MT. Hill will leave Thursday morning for Roosevelt, with Superintendents Drake and Cruice of the Santa Fe, who are going up merely to look over the work.
 The engineer stated that if the sum- mer floods did not come right away in the Salt the O'Rourke people would have the dam built up to a point where it could not be injured. MT. Hill de. clares that, instead of praying for rain we ought therefore to be asking for a continued spell of drouth. But the aver age man will go on wishing it would rain, no matter if it delays the dam a year or two. When it gets down to a point where he doesn t care what hap pens if it will only rain and cool the aii off. We'll, it won t make any difference anyway, for no amount of wishing can change the schedule old Jupiter Pluvius has prepared, but hash t announced yet

And the Democrat says;


 Sadder and wiser ball players, their hearts aching and spirits broken, the Phoenix Athletics, with Manager Rin- derle in the rear, will march from the Maricopa & Phoenix depot this evening to their homes.
 No admiring and shouting thousands, no brass bands nor public officials bear ing wreaths will be on hand to bid them welcome.
 Fate dealt unkindly with Rinderle s champions at Globe last week, their luck turning, however, when they reached Tucson last night and found that wet grounds would prevent their meeting the Tucson team today.
 Four straight defeats in as many days is more than the record shows Phoenix baseball team to have ever suffered at the hands of outsiders before. Phoenix has been defeated, but never with such overwhelming unanimity.
 Until Manager Rinderle reaches the city and has a chance to view the shat tered remnants of his reputation as a baseball impresario, his plans for the future will not be known
 In victory, Manager Rinderle has been success, but in defeat there is an opportunity to study his makeup from another viewpoint. His friends believe that out of the wreck he will build better than he ever had.
 Defeat has become so common to Phoenix OF the baseball diamond that the worst of the sting was removed just after Prescott and Tucson won two games each from the locals.
 In behalf of the Athletics it is said that Globe secured the west for profes- sionals. This may be true, but it does not justify Manager Rinderle having

THE VACANT JUDGEsHIp.

Governor Stokes has not yet flied
the vacancy on the Supreme Court
bench caused by the death of Justice
Abram @. Garrettson. The Governors
difficulty has been to find Democrat
who would accept the office, yet who
would meet the high requirements of
the place. He offered the Office to John
r. Hardin, of Newark, and it was de-
clined, but he has not made any fur
ther effort to secure an Essex county
man, it is said. He would like to APP
point south Jersey lawyer. and the
name of Clarence Cole, of Camden, has
been urged for his consideration.
Among others suggested are Charles J..
Roe, OF Jersey City; Samuel Kalisch,
of Newark; Abraham Given, of Jersey
City Warren Dixon of the same place;
Chauncey G. Parker, Edward M. Cole
and Louis M. Hood, of Newark.
The transfer of Vice Chancellor Ber-
gen FROM the Chancery Court to the
Supreme bench has been suggested,
and the Governor is said to have
viewed this with favor. Chacellor Ma
gle, who names the vice-chancellors,
would then have a vacancy to fill,
which would be as difficult task.
Lawyers are watching changes in the
courts with great interest. If Justice
Fort should be named for Governor,
he would resign at once. The next
Governor would have the appointment
in the case of a Chancellor, Chief JUS
tice and Associate Justice, and if the
Democratic candidate should be elect
ed the changes made would be the
most extensive in many years.

The announcement that Chief JUS
tice Gummere of this State has been
placed on the board of directors Of the
Federal Trust Company of Newark,
which is one of the allied Big Five"
corporations that are generally credit
ed as controlling the politics and ex-
ercising great potency in the legisla-
tion Of this state, has caused quite a
sensation. 1t is not an unprecedented
thing for a jurist of high rank to serve
as director in financial institution.
But the members of the judiciary as
a rule do not think it proper for them
tohold such positions, and public opin-
ion generally agrees with this senti-
ment, for obvious reasons. When a
few days ago Reformer Alden Free
man of East Orange declared in po-
litical pronunciamenUo that Chief JUS
tice Gummere was a member of the di-
rectorate above mentioned the state
ment was denied. But the name ap-
pears in the published advertisement
of the company, so the fact seems to
be indisputable.

BUT LITTLE SYMPATHY.

The financial situation in the stock
market is in one sense a general house
cleaning. The moisture is being
squeezed out of watered stocks. The
bubble is being pricked. If it keeps
on long enough it will result in bring
ing prices down to normal and reason
able valuations. 1t is also evident that
there is something political about
this. President Roosevelt has given
it out there will DO no let up in the
prosecution of vicious trusts and COM
bines. The filming of the Standard Oil
Company is only the beginning of the
fight of the people against these lille
gal combinations. Driven to the wall
the trusts are unable to meet the
emergency with water when cash is
demanded, and Wall Street naturally
takes advantage Of the opportunity to
indulge in some gigantic gambling, in
which fortunes will be made by the
conspirators. and the lambs and suck
ers and the poor fools who speculate
On margins will get what is coming to
them. We have little sympathy for
those who gamble on Wall street mar
gins. but at the same time there ought
to be some way Of Furnishing the rich
scoundrels who profit by this stolen
money. Paterson Call

BORDEN D. WHITING, a member of
the State Railroad Commission is earn
estly advocating comprehensive sys-
tenn of grade crossings in this State.
By eliminating grade crossings, he
shows, greater speed could be main
tanned by railways, the saving of wages
paid to gatemen, and in other ways it
would inure to the advantage Of the
railroads. The municipalities would
gain by the increased value of real es-
tate and the general improvement in
conditions. He urges that immediate
steps be taken to adopt plan as the
situation is growing worse each year.
The whole case really seems to hang
upon the division of cost. 1t is point
ed out that practices vary in various
States. In New York and Ohio not
more than SO per cent. is charged
against the railroads, while Massachu-
setts compels them to pay So. In Con-
necticut the expense is divided evenly,
excepting that the railroad must each
year abolish one grade crossing at it's
own expense. In Rhode Island the
whole matter is left to a railroad COM
mission, with review by the Court of
Equity. In New Jersey there is law,
which has never been tested, but which
is widely regarded as unconstitutional,
placing three-fourths of the cost upon
the railroads, and another law ena-
bling municipalities and railroads to
make mutually satisfactory terms and
the municipalities to issue bonds to
meet the cost. What seems to be need
ed chiefly in New Jersey is some means
of compulsion to require the work to
be done. 1t is unfortunate that the
new Railroad Commission was not
more explicitly invested with such
power, and it will be we'll if the
omission shall be fully remedied
at an early date. There is, happi-
ly, much promise in Mr.. Writings
intelligent discussion of the matter
that the Railroad Commission will
take hold of it in the most practical
and energetic manner possible under
existing legislation. OF course, the
work under any circumstances must be
protracted. AS Mr. Whiting says
what is needed is the prompt adoption
of sound system, sand thereafter
steady progress under that system.
