$24I5 fer Guard of Arizona.

Arizona's National Guard has jus
 been allotted S2l45 for its share o the national allowance for ammuni tion. Arizona gets this on basis c $40 members of the National Guard The largest allotment, $50, l35 zoe to New York, with 13,SO0 members and the smallest, Sl635, to New Mex iCo, with 243 members.
 The division of militia affairs Ot the war department has just an i nOunced the allowance of ammuni. tion for the present fiscal year and to the National Guard under the act of May 27, 1908, being 5J per cent. of the allowance to the regular army. The total set aside for this purpose is S643. l24, divided among the states according to the enlisted strength of their National Guard.
 In pursuance of the plan to en- courage the teaching of the use of the military rifle in educational in stitutions, the war department has revised the orders governing the al-
 
 to institutions at which officers of the army are detailed as instructors.
 Under the new regulations S2l ,O0O has been set aside for the 100 such institutions, to include rifle ball cartridges, blank ammunition, 32-cali- Der ball cartridges for gallery prac- tice, and target supplies. Issues will be made on acquisitions certitiel to by the professors of military science and tactics, specifying the actual facilities for the gallery and range practice, the time allotted by the institution, and the number of students enrolled in the military de- partment to whom opportunity is afforded by the authorities of the in- stitution to participate in gallery or rdnge practice or both.
 The war department specifics the maximum allowance for each student at forty rounds of rife ball cartridges for each range the total not to ex- ceed l20 rounds per student. When gallery practice is held in addition to range practice, sixty rounds of 22-caliber ball cartridges are allowed per student. Where there is gallery practice but no facilities for range practice, l20 rounds of 22-caliber are per student.
 Each institution is allowed ten rounds of rifle blank cartridges Should such au institution desire target supplies they may be obtained from the war department, but only in lieu of q corresponding monetary reduction of the ammunition allow ance for that institution.

Lands in the Vicinity of Yuma, Arizona.

Chas. F. Fee, passenger and traffic
 railroad. in a communication to his
 conductors and agents on the road
 had the following to say relative to
 the lands and climate in the vicinity Of Yuma:
 ''Withn q radius ot thirty miles from Yuma are perhaps half mil lion acres of as fertile land as there is in America.
 "The government is spending sew eral million dollars impending water at the Laguna dam toirrigate a large part of this land. Other millions have been expended tb make fertile the Imperial valley, a part of this same section, all having the same fert:lity-the silt-laden Colorado river.
 "Within a few years this will be one of the most thickly populated and Extensively cultivated regions of the United States, with soil of extra ordinary fertility and depth, with un excelled water supply, bearing with it aliuvial deposits constantly renew ing the land. and with climate en- tirely favorable to the growth of vegetation, insuring early and large crops and crops in great variety ranging from hogs and alfalfa to oranges and cotton. There can be no question as to the transformation this whole region is to undergo.
 "ln this connection our attention is directed to the thoughtless and common observation made about the intense heat of Yuma which as a matter of fact is no more marked and is far less oppressive than that of many other sections of the United States.
 "Jokiug remarks of this nature are, however, not only annoying to the people trying to develop this land of great possibilities but positive and serious detraction no matter how good humoredly or thoughtlessly made.
 "Your cooperation is earnestly solicited in creating for Yuma and the section thereabout the reputa- tiOn it is entitled to for being region uneXcelled in agricultural and horticultural advantages and possessed of many other attractions, and to do away with needless and ! unjust reference and ancient climatic l jokes which might have been forgot ten long ago."

Douglas Seeks Big Congress.

There is every chance now that Douglas will be favored with the 1909 convention of the American Mining Congress. The 1908 convention will be held in Pittsburg, Pa, December to ), inclusive. At the 1907 cOuven- uion, which was held at Joplin, Mo. ', it was decided to have the l9JS con- some reason or other Columbus finally concluded that she did not want this years meeting, so it was decided to hold it at Pittsburg. After Columbus threw up the meeting Secretary Gerhart of the Chamber of Con- nerce made application for Douglas for this years meeting and in ac cOrdance with the instructions of the secretary of the Mining Congress, James F. Callbreath, to forward his mail to San Francisco, sent the appi cation to his address in San Francisco. The letter in some manner misc9rried and after Mir. Callbreath returned to his headquarters in Denvt the letter finally reached him, but it was too late, a. Pittsburg had already been decided upon.
 However, D )uglaS is probably much better or to have the convention d year hence tn m at the present time, because in another year times will be mucl better and there will be d much larger attel14uce than there would have been this year, besides Douglas will have d chm e to get in years good work advertising.
 Secretary Gerhart has been busy for several months getting this mat ter in shape and getting various del egations to pledge their support for Douglas at the Pittsburg meeting and ne has succeeded in getting q large 1umter of the delegations lined up. He is just in receipt of letter from the secretary of the Los Angeles Chamber of Mines stating that Los Angeles and the California delegation will cast their lot with Douglas. This is mighty good news because it was feared that Lis Angeles would go to Pittsburg and ask for the next meet ing for their city, and then the Los Angeles "bunch" wherever they go are always good lot of boosters and mighty good friends to help out. In addition to this the Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico and Texas delee cations will all go to help out D0uglas.-AmeriCdn

"The general opinion throughout Sonora is that the Yaqui troubles are ended." said Judge D. A. Richardson of Douglas who returned from a southern trip that embraced Guaymas and HermOslllo. 'Gen. Torres left last week for Alamos, where he had an appointment to meet Chief Bule. present head of the Yaqui nation, a nd it was confidently believed that the conference Df the general and the Yaqui chieftain would result in the ancient trouble being settled.". Judge Richardson said that travel is heavy to Guaymas and that many Americans are going into that country. Mining operations everywhere are resuming, he said, and the panic which hit Mex ico is gradually earing.-Ameri- can.

FOUGHT UNDER SIX FLAGS.

A remarkable soldier has just died at Budapest in the person of General stephen Turr, one of the bravest rev. olutionary generals that ever lived. He commenced his military career as q lieutenant in the Austrian army. Then he fought for the Hungarian revolutionary government, helped to quell the German revolution and join ed Garibaldi in his great struggle On the outbreak of the Crimean war he served as volunteer in Omar Pacha's army against Russia, and finally re- celved a commission in the British transport service. It was while buy ing horses for the British army at Budapest In 1855 that the general was seized by the Austrians as de- serter and was sentenced to death. But both the British and French gov ernments made such emphatic pro tests against this sentence that 1t was commuted to banishment. Finally, the old soldier settled down in Paris Tit-Bits.

SANITY IN THE SOUTH.

It Is pleasant to see the tendency in the Southern States to sheer away from political brainstorms and takc something for the nerves. Georgia has begun to recover from violent spree of radicalism that threatened to nullify all the splendid industrial and commercial enterprise which has add ed tens of millions of dollars to the general wealth. Other states are see- ing that the demagogues are not the men to follow if the inhabitants want investment. settlers, new factories, more railroads, and progress.
 Tn the south is the richness of dozen empires. Her states have op- portunities for ten times their present populations. But they will never real ize their destinies. until they put moro sense and sanity into their politics. We hope that Georglas good example will be lesson to all of them.-Balti- more American. .
