this year as he did last, but you do
not hear them admitting or claiming
that they have lost money. 1t ought
to be the same way in Douglas and
believe it will be next year."
Within short time now it will be
known just what can be counted on
as the financial backing of the Doug
las team next year Then the work
of getting players will begin.
Captain Wolfe has had a very at
tractiye offer elsewhere. This has
been known for several weeks. The
captain manager has not as yet stat
ed that he would accept this offer and
has signified to Manager O'Donovan
that he will not play here. next year.
II will not be surprising. however, if
he leaves Douglas. If he does, his
position viii be hard to fill, although
this will be by no means an impos-
sibility or SO difficult as some think.
Wolfe deserves and is given full cred
it for all he has done for baseball
here and if he remains will be warm
ly greeted by the fans. If he leaves
for other fields it will be up to the
management to select his successor,
and with a well financed company be-
hind the game this can be done.

development Of
ARTESIAN
WATER

The matter of developing artesian
water in the Sulphur Springs valley
has often been up for consideration
during the past twenty years, but
with theexception of a deep well Dor
ed on the old Copper Queen ranch
some ten or twelve years ago no prac-
teal effort has been made in that di-
rection. There are many who believe
that the probabilities Of securing arte-'
sian flows in this valley are great
enough to justify the sinking of well
to sufficient depth to determine this
matter definitely for the future. Eff
fort has been made at various times
to raise money for this purpose, but
success has never been attained To
determine the possibilities in this di-
rection the International would like
to see well sunk to depth OF two
thousand feet or more until a flow
was encountered.
Already two artesian water belts
have been discovered in this coun-
try, the one on the San Pedro river
above and extending below Benson
and the other east of Douglas. The
presence of artesian water in these
localities certainly should be sufficient
to warrant the effort to determine
whether or not artesian water can be
found in the Sulphur Springs valley.
Now that the city Of Douglas is to
acquire ownership Of the city water
service we suggest the consideration
Of the proposition to have the city,
with the assistance of our public spir-
tied citizens, undertake the work of
boring test artesian well somewhere
in this vicinity above the city. It
would not cost a great sum of money
and success would mean greater sue
cess for this city in the future. If It
could be demonstrated that artesian
water is available for the irrigation
of the fertile lands of the Sulphur
Springs valley a large population of
prosperous farmers would be the re
suit and this city wonid be doubled |
and thribbled in size alone by that &C
complishment
In the ella valley in Graham coun- !
ty artesian water is available in small
but sufficient for the ir-
rigation of several acres of land from
each well. These wells are only a
few hundred feet deep and their cost
Is inconsiderable. The same condi-
ton prevails On the San Pedro. But

CHICAGO. Dec lO.-An expert
n2ent tried here In cooperative insur-
sace. the autithesis of the close con
troll unearthed by the New York in
vestigations. which enables Ryan
or Morgan to completely dominate a
half billion dollars contributed by
policy holders is said to be giving in-
sarance men no end of trouble. The
C:hicago heresy of offering every
body the way TO exploit their own
chances of getting hurt instead OF
dedicating that privilege to a few
astute men, as was commonly done
arion to the Hughes investigation
has developed on trial painfully
strong symptoms, it is said, OF pubic
endorsement of the heresy.
For the heresy of exposing to every
body these sacred corporate facts
las brought into the hmelight some
figures which most people never see.
figures which appear in annual re-
ports to stockholders of accident in
-surance companies of actual profits
which make the dividend hopes of
wildcat mine promoter look tame and
commonplace. That everybody hasn't
steam yachts and automobiles seems
to be due to failure of an ancestor to
get stock of an orthodox insurance
corporation.
The total assets OF the Prudential
Insurance Company uring its first
year. were si1,S36; today the assets
of this company amount to $145.224,-
6T7. The amount of money each
stakeholder invested in this company
twenty-five years ago has been paid
back to him fffty-three times. and
he has received a yearly dividend OF
2i5 per cent on his original capital.
For every sic invested it has paid
every year $4,000. Since its organizar
tson it has paid it's stockholders the
original capital fifty-three times. The
4sth annual report Of the Insurance
Commissioner of the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts, dated January lsr
1908. said: THE amount paid into
the Prudential Company in cash for
stock was $4,000. All the rest of its
$1,000, goo of capital stock has come
from stock dividends annually since
1893 In other words, for every 81 900
paid in these stockholders hold $22.-
600 of the stock upon they received
$4,000 annually; that is. each year
for ten years they have received
cash dividends more than twice the
original investment" The same re-
xharkable condition of prosperity ap-
piies TO the Metropolitan Insurance
Company. Its assets for the first
year were s24T.301, and today the
assets of that company are $685., 320.-
s463. The dividends returned to the
stockholders during the last twenty
five years have been more than 1900
per cent, or $4.5S3.436. The original
capital has been returned to each
stock purchaser more than forry-lve
times. and he rs still receiving ana
probably will continue to receive,
