VETERANS

MANY Union veterans are suffering
M from the results of imprison-
LII ment during the war and are
unable to perform manual labor. Per-
haps there was little glory in being
shut up in Andersonville, Libby and
Salisbury, but the men who were de-
prived of liberty during tedious months
and years really suffered more than
any others. In addition to the miser-
les of prison life they were tormented
by the constant realization of their in
activity; and the thought ruin might
overtake the cause TO which they were
devoted, while they were unable to stir
finger in defense of 1t, was madden
ing.
The Pacific Coast association of ex-
Union Prisoners of War has made ar
rangements for a meeting at which
steps will be taken to impress upon
congress the Importance of caring for
the survivors of prison ordeal which
in peril, suffering and privation was
fully equal to the most arduous cam
paign
The heroism of being a prisoner Of
war is a topic not often referred to
by public speakers, but Americans who
have the good fortune to be familiar
with the rarer literature of the Civil
War; for example, that remarkable
book, Field, Dungeon and Escape"
realize a prisoner was hero when he
was not martyr. Most certainly the
government should take care OF the
survivors of the torment, agony, star
walton and disease of prison life.

Must Live on Homestead.

The decision rendered by Register vs. Alex Silva. MT. Silva year ago filed upon one quarter of section s6, township north, range west. Saf- ford claimed that Silva had not made his residence upon that homestead claim, though he had built small house and fenced part of the land. His home was at his ranch near Glen dale, which is one of the we'll improv- ed ranches of the Salt River valley. Though he has even had his family at the homestead several times, Stafford claimed that Silva had no right to the land, since, in reality, it was not his home.
 Register Arnold held Safford to be right. His decision is also against the theory that the government does not demand actual residence upon a home stead, if irrigating water cannot be secured, the land should not be home- steaded. It Is still desert land, which no one can desire for farm. A stop is therefore pat to the entrance of lands which may some day be under irrigation, merely as speculative venture.
 The decision means a great deal to scores of homesteaders about the ter ritory. Hundreds of homesteads have been held in the hope that some day canals will be dug and water to irri- gate them may be purchased.- nix GAzette.

WiH DevelOpe Water.

United States Geological Survey has recently been instructed by the Secretary of the Interior to make an examination of Moqui and Navajo In dian reservations to determine whether or not ground water exists there in sufficient quantities Go justify develop ment.
 The region occupied by these tribes is the high desert east of the Grand Canyon of the Colorado. The Navajo are best Known as the makers of In dian blankets of unique design and of particularly fine quality. Both the Navajo and Moqui are pastorial tribes, herding within the reservation focks of sheep and cattle. In places where sufficient water is availab ble small acres have been put under cultivation, In dian corn, melons and few vegetables being raised.
 The reservations are rather rarely visited by white men, although they compromise some of the most pictur- esque acres in the great. plateaus of the South west.

The Old Pen

The conference between Territorial Auditor Sims Ely and the members of the board of supervisors of Yuma county was held last week concerning the disposition of the old territorial penitentiary when 1t shall be aban doned. MT. Ely says it is almost certain the county will buy some por- tions of it's fixtures and may take the entire institution and convert it into a county court house and jail. They will at least buy some of the cells for the equipment of new jail even if they do not turn the pen into a court house.
 The last legislature authorized Yuma county to issue bonds to the amouut of $75 900 to build court house and jail, of which It IS in great need. Con gress in it's approval of the act cut the amount of the bond issue down to S5O,OOO. Thus far nothing has been done toward building for it became apparent that there might be some

salvage in the old pen that would be bargain for Yuma county. The territory holds the property by a title which reverts back to the city of Yuma as soon as the penitentiary grounds are deserted by the territory, or are no longer used for prison pur- poses. Some of the buildings there it is believed could be nicely utilized at bargain price, while the county could no doubt secure title to the property from the city very readIly.-fboenix Republican.

 Nineteen eight has been a red letter year for Wickenburg, says the Re- publican correspondent. Not only has the records of actual achievement touched high water mark, but the promise of bigger and better things to come has taken on more definite and positive form than ever before. The opening up of the great mineral region along the line of the Arizona and California railroad. the beginning of a new period of activity at the Vulture mine, the building of the big electric power and light plant by the Central Arizona Electric company, and the influx of new and desirable citizens connected with those enterprises have all contributed to the prosperity of the little city on the Hassayampa.
 Hon. O. F. Banta, who arrived in Tucson this week, is one of Tucson's early residents. He was present when the city was laid out and the streets named. He tells us where the names came from. Meyers street was named for Judge Chas. Meyer. Convent street was SO named because .hose on the northern end of the street opposed the esta blishment of sisters convent. Pennin gton street bears the name of 8 family most of whom were slain by Indians. Mrs. Judge Scott was one of the family and Mrs. R. H. Forbes is a granddaughter of the Penning tons. Cushing street was named for man who met his death at the hands of Indians, and Simpson street for an Eugljshman who met a similar fate Stone avenue was called for Col. Stone, a victim of the Apaches. and Franklin street for Charles Franklin Banta, who vas a scout and known in these days as Charlie Franklin. MT. Banta can hardly identify the Tucson of today with the struggling little community of that time.-Tribune.

TWO COLONY SCHEMES.
SInalOd Land Co. in SinaIoa and Rich
 ardsOn Con. Co. In Sonora.

There are two land and colonization concerns operating on the west coast along the line of Harriman's Cananea, Yaqui River and Pacific railroad. The plans of which are important to Americans and others desiring homes at reasonable prices. These are the Sinaloa Land Co., and the Richardson Construction Go. Both are Los An geles. Oal concerns.
 The Sinaloa Land Go. owns in the state of Sinaloa nearly 5000. 900 acres in different parts of that state. It is taking out two canals for the irriga- tion of very large tract between Culiacan, the capital, and the coast and this land is now on the market or will be very soon.
 The manager of this company and one of the owners, is Nelson Rhodes, Jr., at one time a resident of this city and who is well and most favoranly kno wn here.
 The Richardson Construction Go. has a very large tract in the rich and fertile valley of the Yaqui river in Sonora. The company is selling lands and some idea can be had of what it is doiEg when it is said that 1t sold during November and December last more than 10000 acres to bona fde settlers, most of them Americans The announcement is made that following Feb l an advance of 50 per cent will be made.
 The company is controlled by the Richardson Bros. who for years owned and operated the La Bufa copper mine and the Trinidad silver mine m the Sahuaripa district of Sonora. David Richardson, of the company, is quite we'll and most favorably known to mining men in this city and state.
 The Richardson Construction Com pany have been spending years in the development of this section, and now that the trouble with the Yaqui In OiahS 5CCAhS o1 du OhOs oh Ootiy SOSoiO- ment of the section by American farmers is anticipated. Many miles of roads and ditches have been con- strueted. At the diversion point on the Yaqui River, a new Limones dam is being built to supplement to other irrigation works, and two hotels, one at Esperapza, and one at the newly laidout down of Yequi, are being built. This development is the result of fifteen years of patient work, and it is the work of an energetic set of American men.
 The United States reclamation ex- perts have estimated that it will re- qulre $7O.OCO.OOO to reclaim 1.910,- OOO acres of land included in twenty eight projects. The magnitude of the work of the Richardsons in the Ysqui Valley IS at once realized when it is recalled that these men have just about completed a system to reclaim nearly three quarters of a million acres, and that they have done this without the aid of government money. -Chihuahua Enterprise.
