CLARK RAILROAD
 THROUGH ARIZONA Engineering Parties Are al Work at Point on the Verde Road,

Engineer Arthur Mcguire of Sena- tor Clark's Salt Lake road arrived in Flagstaff last week to start a prelim- mary survey gang to work on the pro posed railroad route between Flag staff and Jerome and possibly to southern Arizona through Phoenix. A survey party had been organized and was waiting for his arrival.
 Their first camp will be at Mund's Park, from which point a route for the new road will be worked out over the rim of the Grand Canyon, the rim being the main difficulty to over come. W. l.. Clark, superintendent of the United Verde, joined the party and will probably remain with them for 9 short time.
 Word has been received that a sur yey party of fourteen has been work ing north of the Colorado river bring ing a line to Lees Ferry, or some point near there, where the river can be bTidged.
 From present indications a thor ough road will be built, giving Arizo- na through north and south outlet.
 The importance of this road to Ari- zona can hardly be realized by one not informed of the vast country, rich in minerals, coal, lumber. agri- culture and stock, it will open up.

and yet but a very few Phoenix peu. pie have ever even ridden over the road, much less investigated the mining conditions. The best of the prospects and mines are rapidly be ing secured by outside people. while Phoenix sleeps. It is much easier to raise S25,G00 to s50,0OO for a govern ment building of Y. NJ. c. A. build ing in Phoenix than it is to raise 25 cents for good mine, and yet one good producing mine on the Arizona < California railroad will bring more real money into Phoenix and the Salt River valley in one year than a score Of such buildings ever will. Among the prominent properties in that sec ton is the Cobralla, which has rap- idly come to the front since it's dis coyery about eighteen months ago. and upon which the development dur ing the past year has opened up bod ies of sulphide ores in a lime and porphyry formation similar to that existing at Bisbee, Clifton. Morenci and Globe, with the exception that the Cobralla ores run high in gold and silver in addition to the copper content. The many mining men who have visited the Cobralla during the past few months generally concede that the Cobralla will make one of the big mines of Arizona and it's de- yelcpment and operation will greatly stimulate trade in the Salo-lc sec ton as well as locally.

PHOENIX SLOW
 SEEING CH RANGES

Phoenix, June 24.-Phoenix has been growing so fast of recent years that it's people are getting really pro yincial, like New Workers, in that they can see nothing good outside of Phoenix and the Salt River valley. It is very well to be patriotic and home loving, but it does not pay to be too narrow-minded Sometimes it seems as if the people of this valley could not see beyond the cottonwoods wlich fringe the edge of this beauti rul oasis--and yet this valley and the town Of Phoenix owe their very ex- istence and prosperity to the rich mines in the hills beyond the cotton woods. You don't find gold where roses grow-and the people who look too long at roses get nearsighted. 4 dime held too near the eye will hide q twenty-dollar gold piece held far theT off, and so it is with this val ley. The many opportunities for prof. itable land and realty investments right here at home make Phoenix people entirely overlook the much more profitable mining investments just beyond. It would probably as tonish most Phoenix people to know that there are several mines in Ari- zona which each produce much more wealth every year than this entire valley, but such is the case.
 Many wonderful opportunities have been presented to Phoenix people for investments in mines right here in
 1TIy h s1H. them enormous returns. but so few or the people here have taken ad- vantage of them that it has become proverbial among mining men and mine owners that Phoenix is a dead town when it comes to mining in yestments. Arizona mines produced last year nearly S70.O0O. 900. of which amount but a very few thousand dol lars came to Phoenix, because Phoe- nix Isn't interested in mines. The following instances are but a few of the opportunities Phoenix people have overlooked. where they could have made money in mines right here at home. Phoenix overlooked the United Verde and Senator Clarke came from Montana and secured the prize. Sl00 invested in the United verde, then, is worth about S30 900 now. S100 invested in Cananea in 1901 is now worth several thousand. In 1901 Thomas Cole had to go to Michigan and Pittsburg for funds for the Calumet & Arizona: and $10O in vested then is worth S10,000 now. Any man in Phoenix could have in- vested just one thousand dollars in C. & A. in 1901 and have retired with S100,00O long ago-but no one did, and the millions in dividends go to Pitts buTS instead of Phoenix. These in stances might be repeated almost endlessly at Bisbee, Clifton, Morenci, Globe and other places in Arizona Arizona mines make millions every year-fOr other people, but not for Arizonians. And Arizonians are hap py--for ignorance is bliss and hun dreds of people right in Phoenix nave never ever seen mine.
 The building of the Arizona & Cal ifornia railroad to Parker, at which point an immense steel bridge is now being completed, has opened up the richest mineral section in the terri tory, almost at the doors Of Phoenix,

Taft a Free President.

Chairman Hitchcock on his visit
to Hot Strings told Mr.. Taft that
tho campaign had been conducted
not only with the smallest campaign
fund on record, but that SO far as
he was concerned it had been con-
Quoted without a single pledge or
promise to bind Mr.. Taft as presi.
dent. either in return for services in
the campaign or for contributions
to the fund, 1t could be added to
this that Chairman Dolley conduct
ed precisely this sort of campaign
for Governor elect Stubbs IN Kan
sas, with one of the smallest funds
on record, if not the smallest, and
without pledge of any character
binding the new governor.
II had known all this before" "
Mr.. Taft said, "but it is gratifying
to have the statement come direct
from the national chairman at the
conclusion"
Benjamin Harrison's administra
tion was nearly wrecked, SO far as
harmony with Congress was cou-
cerned, by the pledges made on hi'
behalf for appointments by Chair
man Quay, which President Harri-
son in part repudlated, thereby
making Quay an enemy for the
entire term, and it was said that
Senator Quay had no relations
thereafter whatever with Harrison
and never put his foot inside the
White House while Harrison oc
cupied it. Pledges made by Chair
man Mark Hanna ON behalf Of
Mckinley were either redeemed BY
Mckinley or were smoothed out BY
McKialey's diplomatic skill ano
tact. E. H. Hartman in hi,
"where do l come In" letter claim, d
to have been promised the appoint
meLt of Chauncey Debew as Ana
bassador to France. But President
Taft will come IN with a free hand,
nore of his freedom having bsen
bartered away in the campaign for
his election. So much for the at
tacks that have been centered for
the last few years on barter of
Offices in politics.

LeavenWOrth Must Re-
form.

Attorney General Jackson has
notified the officials Of Leavenworth
that all joints and gambling places
in that lawless city must close ana
s.y closed, if it takes the state
militia to do it. He also intimated
to the city officers that they could
enforce the law or come down to
Topeka and defend custer suits.
We are of the opinion that Leaven-
worth will try to live little closer
to the letter of the law in the future
than she has in the past. All told,
the prohibltory law is being enforced
IN this state better than ever before,
and the most favorable outlook N
the whole matter is that public senti-
ment is growing all the time In
favor Of rigid enforcement of the
law. But few years back the seel
ing of whiskey was looked upon by
a majority of the people as just as
honorable as any other business,
but now the man who sells liquor
illegally is simply a law breaker and
is so considered even by those who
buy of him and man of any self
respect will not indulge in any for
hidden traffic.

Emperor and Empires:
Dead.

The Emperor and Empress OF
China are both dead and a three
year old boy sits on the throne of
the Dragon.
Every precaution has been taken
to preserve order in the empire and
there is no indication of any serious
trouble.
The real ruler of China, since
1861, has been Tsze Hsi An, a poor
girl who was sold to slavery by her
parents, She was pretty, accord
ing to Chimes standards, bright,
ambitious and cruel.
By her conniving she became the
ruler of 300, 900, 900 people and
she ruled with a indicative rt,.nt.
less spirit.
China is now from under her
thrall and there are great hopes for
a more liberal progressive national
policy.
Ans shrewdness, determination
an energy are to bs admin ed but
the strong probabilities are that her
natiea and the world generally are
better off for her demise.

George Lindsay Dead.

Geo. N Lindsay, one ofChanute's
old citizens and most popular men.
died in Kansas City, where he had
been for the last year and half for
medical treatment, early last Satur-
day morning. The remains were
brought to Chanute on the plug
Saturday night and laid to rest in
Elmwosd Monday morning.
Geo. Lindsay was a very social
agreeable man, we'll liked by every
body. He numbered his friends ty
his acquaintanc for to know
George was to like him.
He located in Chanute in the early
history of the town and engaged in
the grocery business. His genial,
pleasant manner and winning smile
made friends fast, and for years the
Lindsay grocery was the favorite
shopping place of the city. He
grew wealthy, and invested his
surplus in the Lindcay block which
stands to-day as an ornament to the
city and mJnumeRt to his public
spirit.
A number of years ago he retired
from the grocery business and
engaged in banking. He was
stricken with paralysis about a year
and a halt ago at which time he was
presiden; of the First National bank.
George was an honest and benevo-
lent man. A few years ago he

sistent member and remained true
10 his profession.
The great number of citizens W Q
gathered at the church Monday
morning to pay their last sad tribute
to his memory, betokeoed the es-
TEEN in which he was held.
The stores aud business houses of
the city closed for an hour during
the funeral.
The sermon was delivered by
Rev. Coker, assisted in the services
by the Swedish and Methodist local
ministers.
The floral offerings were numerous
and beautiful and spoke the tender
heart language of sympathy and
respect. No man of Chanute would
be missed more than will George

Thanks to his business capacity
and frugality. He leaves his wife

Our New Agricultural
Empire.
Special to The TIme..

why intelligent, we'll to. do farmers
from the Mississippi Valley con-
tinue to flock to the Canadian
wilderness to take up homes under
foreign flag while inviting and
attractive opportunities for settlers
are still open on many Of the re
clamation projects in the West.
While there has been a decldeo
falling off in the movement from
this country into the Northwes,
Territories, the number of our de.
sirab!e citizens who are leaving the
United States to take up farms in
Canada is large, and efforts should
be made to divert them to the
several sections of our own country
where just as good, if not better,
opportunities exist for the home
seekers.
The national government is a biz
lani owner, but 1t does not adver
tlse while Canada expends larg
sums annually for this purpos
Steps should be taken at this tim
10 acqualnt the homeseekers of t
country with the fact that with
our own borders thsre yet remain
many desirable locations for home
builders.
Our great western region in soil,
climate and crop possibilities il.
superior to the regions furthe
north. 1t POSSESSES better transpo,
tatioa facilities and markets, it i,
un er our own flag and is occupied
ny our own people. Its develop
ment adds to our national greatness,
and strength. Potentially it is the
richest and most fertile agriculture
area in the world and it is destined
to become the center of a vasl
population which shall represent
the highest ideals of American
citizenship. No efforts should be
spared to exploit its advantages and
its opportunities.
Just at the present time the con
structlon of three national irrigation
projects has progressed to the point
where settlement is invited and a
large number of farmers from the
middle West have already taken up
new homes thereon. The letters
received from them by the Statisti
clan of the Reclamation Service a,
Washington indicate their satisfac
ton in the change they have made
and their abiding faith in the wis
dom of their choice in location
Two of these projscts are in Mon.
tana and one is In northern Wyom
ing. Nearly 100, 900 acres divide
in 40 and 80 acre farms are now
ready for homeseekcrs. Thes,
farms are open to settlement under
the homestead act, subject to tn
provisions of the Reclamation law
The soil and climate are such that
with the assured water supply whicl
the government guarantees, maxi
mum harVests are insured. Intelli
gent farming on these projects i,
rewarded by larger returas than il
humid regions and the crop products
are as diversified as can be grown
In the middle West.
On the Huntley project in Mon
tana nearly 40 families came from
two townships in Iowa and theii
success this year is certain to bring
large number this winter and next
spring.
Twenty families a month are
going on the Shoshone project In
Wyoming, nearly all of whom come
from the middle West. There still
remain farms for several hundred
hOme-builders on these projects,
and the opportunity is worthy of
the careful consideration of every
man who is seeking independence
and a life In the open, where
maximum reward is assured for his
IAbors.
