It will be recalled that in order to pay for the construction of new subway, following the disas trous floods of last year entailing a loss of about s100.000. the property owners along Ine old subway route agreed to pay four-fifths of the cost of a new one. The city agreed to pay the other fifth.
 The total cost of the new subway will be in the neighborhood of $56, 900. That the payments might fall more easily on the property owners they were made due quarterly. Two assessments have already been made The third. the present one. will bring in something over $11. 900. A penalty of one per cent a month is imposed under the terms of the contract, on all those delinquent in payments. Ii not paid in full when the subway is completed, their property is liable foI the debt
 To date over eighty per cent Of the actual work of the new subway has been completed. The scontractors es timate that they will finish the joh by June i5. The rainy season usually sets in about the first of July. Al any rate. for four years it has rained in the Fourth of July.

The Capital and It's Memories,

Nusty memories hang thick about Washington. Every other house has been dignified by close contact with famous men and women. One built on a magnificent scale for Zack Chandler is now used as a boarding house or hctel. On the walls of its lofty par. lors hang four great tapestries as soft in tone as some of the famous Cobe. fins. The mistress Of the house has seen every inauguration since Lin. coins. The tapestries. worked by her sister. were exhibited at the World s Columbian exposition. One depicts an Illinois soldier who for 12 years board. ed in the house. The eyes of the lady of the house brighten into youthful ness as she tells how this wonderful tapestry portrait worked by her dead sisters hand from the living model hung in the Illinois building and how 1t was taken to the rotunda of the capitol in which the veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic con vened. The wife of the man stood sas the tapestry was slowly unrolled be fore the eyes of the grizzled men who patiently wondered what it meant Bn ii suddenly with one acclaim they cried: Black Jack. Black Jack on horseback,"
 To the gentle lady. whose voice trem bles as she tells the story. the mer who play their part in the beautifully adorned city are the shadows-hel realities are Of another time and nave pssscd into ano.her realm.

Good for Dougla, Thanks to her the people of Bisbee and the Shelter city will have an opportunity not only to visit Fl Paso. but also to see 8 good baseball game there, for on June 20 the crack Douglas team-for it has proved itself to be worthy foe-iwll attempt to show the Texans that Arizona has a team that can teach them the real ar of clouting the leather. eBtter still, a rate of s6 has been made for the round trip from iBsbee to Fl Paso and one of s5 for the round trip from Douglas
 The above is the substance of a telephone massage from the Shelter city to the Review last night. The same source of news also furnished the information taht the terms had been agreed to by the railroad. pro- yided 150 went from Bisbee and the same number from Douglas. In view of past records there is scarcely a doubt of Bisbee furnishing her !
 iWth her team away from home and wrestling for victory with a crack team from one of the states, there is certainly no excuse for the people of Douglas failing to furnish that many excursionists and more.
 Manager O'Donovan of the Doug las team will be in Bisbee in a few days to interest the fans here. he will be gwen a cordial reception and assurance that Bisbee will u
 than furnish her quota of fans goes without saying. It has been several years since so low a rate has been made to Fl Paso, and the people
 this section. who are closely con nscted with the growing border town both socially and financially, will not be slow to take advantage of it.

RESIGNS COMMISSION
 TO FORM PARTNERSHIP
Attorney Stanford Will Move to Phoenix-He Lands Sul-
 Phur Springs Valley

Attorney R. C. Stanford, who was in Douglas recently in connection with his duties as United States com missioner. is very enthusiastic over the future of the SuIpnur Springs valley. MT. Stanford, who has been commissioner for the past two years and a half, has sent in his resigna- tion to Judge F. NJ. Doan. with the expectation of forming partnership with Thomas Armstrong. leading at torney of Phoenix. In view of this fact, his views on the present out look in the fertile valley are of in terest.
 Those who have not been in Sul- phur Springs valley for several months cannot appreciate the change made during that time without mak- ing an actual visit" sa.d Mir. Stan ford. Tn the neignborhood of Wilcox many new settlers, most of them from Oklanoma are to be founo. Gney have learned she secrets of dry farming. aIJd are putting them in eNecuIon with great success.
 T may be greatly mistaken" con tinued Mir Stanford, but in my opin- fen the future of Cochise county must deal in great measure with the lcrge revenue which is certain to be derived from farmers who are com ing to this rich valley. So fast has the land been taken up that in many sections it is no longer obtainable This does. not mean, however. that there are not left thousands of acres susceptible of a higher state of cuItI- yation which may be h. l under the usual government terms.
 Mr. Stanford expects 10 leave Bis bee between the first and fifteenth of June. During his four years stay in Bisbee he mas built up a lucrative practice. whica he leaves only Se- cause of a better opportunity at Phoe. nix Nils many friends ia Bisbee will regret to see him leave and wish him success in his new home.

One feature of the extra session OF
congress which has been wrestling for
four months with the revision of the
tariff to which not much attention has
been paid is the expense that it has
entailed. 1t is not inconsiderable as is
shown by an analysis of it IN Current
Literature for August.
When the general discussion on the
tariff bill was concluded on the floor of
both branches of congress almost three
weeks ago, it was a discussion, accord
ing to the figures presented by Current
Literature, which has filled nearly 1900
pages of the Congressional Record. the
printing of which alone costs a trif1e
more than $1,000 per page. AS each
page of the Record contains about ], ZOO
words, the total number of printed
words for the extra session approx
mates 7,650,000 words, enough to I'LL all
the pages of an ordinary sized maya
zine every month for about seven
years.
The cost Of maintaining congress
while it is in regular session has been
estimated at $88,0OO a day." says Cur
rent Literature. This includes salaries
and the actual cost of the extra session
can not, therefore, be figured nearly as
high, as an extra session does not
mean extra salaries. The total cost Of
maintaining congress is about seven
and One-half millions of dollars a year.
1t is an expensive luxury but we can
not do without it. But there seems to
be rapidly increasing number of those
who think that when a tariff bill is to
be revised We might perform the opera
ton in a less expensive and more eff
hcient method than by assembling for
that purpose a body of 1922 men, con-
sisting of 80 senators, 395 representa-
tives and delegates, and 1886 employees of
the two houses"

THE PRACTICE OF FORESTRY.


The great possibilities of scientific
forestry and the advantages that are
certain to accrue from it's practice are
pointed out in a brief bulletin issued
recently by the forest service bureau OF
the federal department of agriculture
which tells of what has been done in
Germany in this particular. 1t is an
Illuminating contribution to this sub
ject and makes it evident that too much
pains and money cannot be expended
in this country in protecting the exist
ing forests, developing them to their full
usefulness and reforesting lands that
have been wantoniy devastated. The
bulletin in question follows:
Forest experts of all nationaiities
agree that Germany is in an enVia6Ie
position as regards her lumber supply.
No nation in the world makes more
thorough utilization of its forest re
.1The German empire has approx
mately $4,000 900 acres of forest, Oh
which S1.9 per cent belongs to the state;
Many years ago that country awakened
to the necessity of applying the same
methods of business economy TO the
management of it's forest lands that are
applied to it's operations in trade, and
the result is that Germany's practice
of forestry has served as a model foF all
ether countries.

three ways-it has always led in 'scien-
tific thoroughness and now it is work
ing out results with an exactness al
most equal to that of the laboratory;
it has applied this scientific knowledge
with the greatest technical success; ana
il has solved the problem OF securing
through a long series of years an IN
creasing forest output and increasing
profits at the same time.
Starting with forests which were III
as bad shape as many of our own cut
over areas, Germany raised the average
yield of wood per acre from 20 cubic
feet in 1880 to 75 cubic feet in 1908
During the same period it trebled the
proportion of saw timber secured from
the average cut, which means, in other
words, that through the practice of for
estry the timber lands Of Germany are
of three times better quality today than
when no system was used In a little
over half a century it increased the
money returns from an average acre OF
forest seven fold. and today the Tor
ests are in better condition than ever
before"
