MADE
 ON LOWER CANALS
The ArlinstOn's New Head and The
 Buckeyes New Tail.

H. M. Lewis returned yesterday from Buckeye and Arlington where he went on a variety of missions but chiefly to do little engineering work. Mir. Lewis originally surveyed the Ar lington canal and it proved to be a very fine ditch, all but the head which was finally abandoned. During the present winter a new head has been built further up the river in the solid granite at a point where a granite reef crosses the river bed. The gates are set in granite and the company now believes it has the best heading on the Gila river, one that is immovable and that will draw water from the river at any stage of flow.
 This new heading necessitated the digging of about four miles of new ditch at the upper end to connect the head with the canal. MT. Lewis made the final survey of this new ditch which will be completed in about three weeks
 MT Lewis also run the lines for about 10000 feet of new ditch at the lower end of the Buckeye canal, the purpose being to take the ditch across the Hassayampa some distance above the old crossing. By doing so the Has sayampa is crossed by an inverted syphoon and the ditch instead of run ming along the surface or above 1t, through banks that frequently broke, will not run below the surrounding level. be perfectly safe from breaking and better water the adjacent lands
 Land values in the Arlington section are advancing by reason of the i'm proved canal and the farmers under both the Arlington and Buckeye are prosperous. One thing that made an impression on Mir. Lewis is a five mile stretch of road in the Arlington coun- try made by MT. Peterson. the road overseer. He says that about all he has done to it is to take care of it properly by dragging it after every rain. It Is good for twenty-fi miles an hour with anybody's old automobile and there ought to be 800 miles more of the same kind of road in this county.

BABY'S WATERY ECZEMA
$50 Spent on Useless Treatments -Disease Seemed lncurabIe.
Cured by Cuticura for $1.5O.

When my little boy was two and . half months old he broke out on both cheeks with eczema. It was the itchy, watery kind and we had to keep his little hands wrapped up all the time, and if he would happen to get them uncovered he would claw his face till the blood streamed down on his cloth ing. We called in physician at once, but he gave an ointment which was so severe that my babe would scream when it was put on. We changed doctors and medicine until we had spent fifty dollars or more and baby was getting worse. was so worn out watching and caring for him night and day that I almost felt sure the disease was incurable. But finally reading of the good results of the Cuticura Rem edies, l determined to try them I can truthfully say I was more than surprised, for I bought only dollar and halfs worth of the Cuticura Remedies (Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills), and they did more good than all my doctors medicines had tried, and in fact entirely cured him. His face is perfectly clear of the least spot or scar of anything Mrs. w. M. spot or scar. Mrs. w. M. Comerer

CONVICT LEASING
 NOT PROHIBITED
HOUSE FAILS TO ADOPT AMEND. MENT REQUESTING THE LEASE
 SYSTEM.
peNITeNTIARY DEFICIENCY BILL PASSED
Senate Defeats Bill to Regulate Rail-
 road Track Working.

The Wednesday session of the House was very tame, the principal tonic being the penitentiary bill. This measure is House Bill No. 396 (Joint Penitentiary Committee), and seeks to regulate the future management of the pententiary. The CarlLee substi- tute amendment, providing that con victs be hired for 12 instead of six months, as provided in the bill, and for not less than $l per day, was taken up. MT. CarlLee supported his amendment. Mr. Parks then of fered an amendment to the substi- ute amendment providing that the conviets not be hired, but that they be worked on the state farm and pub lie roads. MT. CarlLee opposed the Parks amendment. He declared that he was opposed to the Dickinson and other lease contracts, but that he be- lieved it the judieious thing to do to hire the convicts if the latter could obtain a good price and were properly safeguarded. He referred 10 the fact
  nothing and hence are great expense to the state.
 The amendment after lengthy de- bate was defeated
 MT. Cartwright offered an amend ment providing that the contractor leasing the convicts not be allowed to subtet the convicts Mr CarlLee spoke in favor of the amendment, safeguard to be good thing. The amendment also contained the provisions of the CarlLee amendment to the effect that the conyicts only be leased for 12 months at time and for not less than $1 per day each. The amendment was adopted.
 Mir. Winh offered an amendment providing that the board of manage ment of the penitentiary remain the same as it is now This was ruled defeated the board would remain the same anyhow An amendment by Mir Parks of Lafayette providing that the convicts shall only be worked on the state farm and public roads, kill ing the bills provision to the effect that leasing of the conyicts shall con tinue. was lost by vote of s to 57. The failure of the attempt to kill one of the principal provisions of the bill was regarded as significant by many of the probable stand the House will take on final passage, unless a new element enters into the fight
 An amendment by Mr, Newton of Lonoke, providing that no leases ex- ist longer than June 30, 1910, and that after that date no convicts be leased, was also defeated 22 to 66. The House showed disposition to leave the bill just as il stands, as far, at least, as the leasing of convicts is concerned

SAVING PAINT MONEY
" Cannot Be Done by Using Cheap
 Material and Cheap Painters.

In arranging for painting. a good many property-owners try to save money by employing the painter who oHers to do the job cheapest-or try 10 save money by insisting on a low priced paint.

CRIMINAL IN CHILD NATURE.
Writer in New Orleans Picayune As serts We Are All Born with Ten-
 derness Toward the Bad.

All children" said a psychologist, "are born criminals. Instinctively they lie, steal. islander, torture-I don t know what. The saintliest man. a very Dr. Parkhurst of a man, were he to grow up as he began, would have a long career of bank robberies, as- saults, debauches and murders, and he would die on the gallows.
 "A child. as soon as it begins to toddle and lisp. steals Till you have trained child to know that thefts are followed by spankings. would you dare to leave it alone in a candy shop?
 Tt also lies After a raid on the jam or cake, does child admit it's guilt? Of course not. It lies earnest ly doggedly
 "A child islanders and libels Did you ever hear a beautiful, lisping child speak in praise of it's play mate? No. On the contrary, it ae- cuses the playmate continually of horrible crimes.
 "A child will get drunk if you give 1t the opportunity. Lack of opportu- nifty is all that prevents children from becoming confirmed inebriates.
 'It is needless to go on. Look back on your childhood. Study your evil little child heart. You'll wonder then that no eurio collector cherishes a piece of your cope. New Orleans Picayune.

COMMON MISUSE OF WORDS
Modern Writers, in Striving for E. feet, Displease the Lover Of
 Good English.

Those who find a never-ending pleasure in reading the works of Gold smith, Addison, 'Rollicking Dick" Steele and our own genial Irving must suffer something like literary nausea in turning over the pages of some modern newspapers in quest of news. Why should the society editor insist that wedding occurred" instead of taking place? But this abuse of the word seems yenial when we turn to the sporting page and find that every event recorded from a dog fight to a running race is classy" It may be assumed by some critics that this word flashed upon the sporting fra ternity as a great prize through the revival of the Olympic games. Greek authors wrote books now known as classics, and by the same token their athletic games obtained a like desig- nation. But why should prizefght be called "classy?" Probably the word is slangy equivalent of high class" At any rate, it is as illegiti- mate and offensive as "brainy"
 But the offending is not confined to the editors of sporting pages. To go through the catalogue of misused words would far exceed the limits of any editorial article Yet one can hardly leave the subject without re- cording solemn protest against the phrase armed with warrant" or the aeronaut who "negotiates trip" around the aerodrome. And one would like to add that 'inaugurate," which means to induct in office, does not happily characterize the running of new railroad train or the opening sale of autumn millinery
 The colleges of America are doing good work in their departments of English literature to prevent the wan ton misuse and abuse. Of our magnifi- cent language, but the education should begin in our grammar schools, where the great majority of our chil- dren receive their only education.
