 The government officials wno have recently taken charge of our irrigating water supply system for the benefit of the Salt River Valley are looked upon as friends who have come forward to help us out in a very difficult prob lem and many changes will be neces- sary if progress is to be made. Econ- omy must be practiced in the manage ment of the canals, and it is proposed to run water'in the several canals a week at time, and then the canals to be dry for the same period, this ser vice to be continuous for the present The officials through your paper ap- parently give reasons for this change of management. but the question nat uIally arises. how will the change af- feet the economical growth of plant life upon the farm. Alfalfa will not be materially affected by this move, nei- ther will the crops that grow during the cooler months of the year. The growth of table vegetables and small fruits which ought to be grown on ev- cry ranch will be seriously affected iE the hot months, and few farmers will dare to grow them on account of the infreQuent supply of water, the run of which will be few hours every four teen days or the truck farms it is

A MISSING MOTHER
 ONCE A PHOtNICIAN
An Indian Territory Man Inquiries of
 the Location of Blanche Belden.

The sheriffs office has received a curious epistle. the exact purport of which it is difficult to make out. The letter is typewritten. The letters are very distinct. in fact they are far above the average. It is impossible to identify the brand of the typewriter but it iS one of the numerous kinds the manufacturers of which have paid more attention to the mechanical ap- pearance of the work than they have to the matters of orthography and grammar In consequence the spell ing and construction of sentences in the letter at the sheriffs office are execrable.
 The writer, who lives at Ardmore. I. T., seems to want to locate woman who is described in one place as Blanche Blandon and in another as Blanche Belden. If he should be un- able to locate he would like to find out more about her than he already knows. He has ascertained in some way that she lived in Phoenix about nine years ago. but probably had some other name then.
 About nine years ago she appeared at Dry Knobs. Mo. and said that she had just come from Phoenix She had a child about five or six years of age She came to the family of one J. B. Phipps, who the writer said lived with his family in this city for about eighteen years. The woman left the child with Phipps. the writer adds, ito get away with her" IL is said also that Phipps arrived at Dry Knobs fugitive from justice from Pueblo. Colo. where he had made some mon- ey in devious ways and had gone into business soon after his arrival at Dry Knobbs.
 Phipps is said by the writer to have been a blacksmith while in Phoenix. The information which the writer has regarding his away from Dry Knobs he obtained from a MT. Porter who spent some time in Phoenix several years ago and is now a United States marshal in the Indian Territory.
 The office of the sheriff has so far been unable to learA anything about the woman but Chairman Orme of the board of supervisors remembers Phipps very well as one of the early expressmen of the city.

standing of the Prescott National bank


 is that the directors have been ex- tremely conservative in the matter of dividends. They adopted the policy of declaring moderate dividends in order to build up a large surplus funG as the best protection to its depositors. Fur thermore. they realized that a strong bank is in itself a benefit to the com munity. as it encourages confidence in the minds of intending investors in the county. The layman may not appre- ciate the importance of this fact. but to men conversant with financial af- fairs it is of special significance.
 Prescott is highly fortunate in pos sessing such strong financial institu- tions. and it should be a matter of local pride that its national bank is one of the few in the United States that has been accorded high place on the Roll of Honor."'

ROLL OF HONOR BANK
 Tilt PRESCOTT NATIONAL
The Enviable Position Which it Has Attained Among Financial lnstitu- tions.

The Prescott Journal Miner gives prominence to the fact that the Pres colt National bank has earned a place on the Roll of Honor" A roll of honor bank is one possessing surplus and profits in excess of its capital and it is an honorable distinction of which any financial institution in the United States may be justly proud.
 Says the Journal Minor: According to the statement of The Financier. there are 5000 national banks in the United States, but only 300 of them are entitled to an enrolment on the Roll of Honor. Such a distinction is a guarantee to local patrons and bank correspondents that they are doing business with financial institution of unquestioned strength and stability. People like to deal with strong banks.
 ''Of the 900 banks on the Roll of Honor the Prescott National bank is ranked as No. 720 the rating being based on the percentage of the surplus and undivided profits to the capital. For instance, the capital stock of the Prescott bank is s1O0,000, while on January 1, 1907, it's surplus and undi- vided profits were s100.990, thus giv- ing it a ranking percentage of 109.99 per cent. There are only three banks of this class in Arizona, which appear on the Roll of Honor. The Consoli- dated National of Tucson while appar- ently the best rated. with percentage of 116.85, is actually not as strong as the Prescott bank. for the capital stock is only s5000O. Its surplus is s5S,029, thus giving it apparently a higher per centage.
 "Since January 1, the business of the Prescott National bank has grown re- markedly, the result being that it's surplus and undivided profits amount ed to s123.277.37 at the close of business. on May 20. Were a comparison made now it is believed that the local bank would outrank the Tucson bank, de- spite the latter's mathematical advan-. tage of low capitaliza ton. The Phoe- nix National bank is the other Arizona bank on the Roll of Honor.

HoNoRs woRTHILY BESTOWED.
Davidson College of North Carolina Conferrins the Degree of IL. D.
 Upon William Mack.

or the many honorary degrees that have been conferred by the colleges and universities of this country during the recent commencements. perhaps none has been more worthily bestowed than the degree of IL. D.. conferred upon William Mack by Davidson Col lege of North Carolina.
 MT. Mack has been engaged in laxv writing for over twenty years. His work as >one of the editors of the American state reports and of the di- gcsts of those reports is well known to the profession of the country. He was author and compiler of Rapslie and Mack's Railway Digest. the most elaborate work on that subject in the American and English law. This worL; Is a handbook in the office of nearly every railway lawyer in the country. and Is d work of great merit.
 The crowning achievement of MT. Mack's life work has been in connec ton with the Cyclopedia of Law and Procedure, popdlarly called Cyc. He has been editor in chief of this great work from it's inception. Cyc, consist Ing of forty large Royal octave vol umes averaging about fifteen hundred pages large Royal octave volumes av- eraglng about fifteen hundred pages each Is the most elaborate and ambi- uous attempt that has yet been made 10 produce a practical qualification of the American and English law, and is oi priceless value to the legal profess sion.
 The work of few men distinguished m the sciences, arts or literature has heen properly appreciated in their life tlme' but the future historian of legal hterature will undoubtedly place the compilation of Mack with those of Ba- con- Viner and Blackstone. as epoch marking achievements in the law. The

first edition of Bacon's Abridgment was published in five volumes in the years l736-1759; Viner's Abridgment original edition, was published m twenty three volumes averaging about six hundred pages each. during the years 1742-1753 Blackstone's Con- mcntaries. original edition. was published from 1a65-1I69, in four vol tunes.
 The case law since these abridg- ments were published has increased enormously When the above men, toned English abridgments were writ ten there were only between two and three hundred volumes of English de- cisions The compiler of sn abridg- ment, or, as we call it nowadays, a cyclopedia. is confronted with over ten thousand volumes of reported de- cisions in the English and American lay. To attempt to produce codifica- ton of the present enormous mass of decisions was a gigantic task.
 Mir Mack has associated with him about one hundred and fifty of the most distinguished law writers. judges and lawyers of the United States foI the working out of this great problem
 The fact that Cyc is now a hand book with the bench and bar of the United States, England and Canada and also in far-off India. and is being cited and quoted with great frequency in the reported decisions of the highest courts of this and other countries, is the strongest testimony of the ability and paramount value of Mir. Mack. labors to the legal profession.
 The alumni of the University of Mis- sOuri. where MT. Mack earned his de- gree of Bachelor of Laws, as well as the legal profession in general, vii be gratified to learn of this honor con. ferred upon a distinguished member or their profession.
