FALL SHORT.

A regular army officer, Captain K. o. c. Ord, who had been detailed 10 act as inspector general in the National Guard of Arizona, has completed his work, and is reported 10 be greatly disappointed in the result. His official report has not been made public as yet, and will not be until it has been presented 10 Governor Sloan and transmitted 10 the War Department. But judg- ing from the gist of some remarks passed hy Captain Ord, which have found their way into print, when it is promulgated the report ought to be very interesting reading. He Is quoted:
 "The national guard members in the territory have been increased quite per ceptibly within the past year During that time the companies have increased from five or six in number to the present number of thirteen. am of the opinion that some of them will be mustered out. ], Of course, am not at liberty to give out any information as to the particular company or companies that fail to meet the requirements. Mesa will be given Annfhnr fns shall also return to the headquarters of few other companies in the southern part of the territory where they also will have chance for another inspection. This IS the first inspection made by the territory. The reasons for the inspection are obiously different from those con- ducted by the government. It is the duty of my office to determine that a company is organized we'll enough at least to be of some benefit locally, for instance, so that they be called out on days notice. It becomes apparent that when company cannot z ther enough of its members together to make show. ing between sunup and sundown, that there IS something wrong with the ad- ministration of that company. When members ot company leave the country or arc off on vacation or their po>tofIice addresses are not known, or their tele . phone numbers not known, no wonder 1t IS next to an impo4sibility on twenty. four hours notice to get enough men together for inspection. It is important that the officers know the whereabouts Of their men, so that in the event there should be local disturbance or call for an inspection, as in this rase, that the men could be gotten together in the shortest possible time That is one of the principal reasons for my coming here to inspect the company without d week or q months notice. It is, of course, my duty to inspect the equip ment and arms, and after the general inspection to hear the grievances or sug-

 organization which followed Com. pany G-was about in the salnt condiliJn.) Such membership con
 tributes nothing to the strength and effectiveness of an orga nizalion.
 Another cause of the neglect Of duty in the Arizona militia in the small towns Is the attempt to carry so many other organizations with a limited eligible list from which to draw. The same local pride that prompts formation of the mil. itary company prompts formation of fire department and lodge in nearly every fraternal organization. As result the sa me men are en. rolled in several organizations, pay little or no attention to any of them, and nothing is in a condition that may be called satisfactory. The one organization which suffers the least from neglect and inatten. ton of it's membership is a fire department, the need for which is apparent and pressing all the time.
 To have an effective and useful militia there Is necessary in any community a stable population sufficiently large to supply full quota of ardent and enthusiastic young men imbued strongly with the military spirit, who will devote all their spare time to nothing but the military work, and who will remain therein permanently. Even in towns and cities that might SUD- ply such contingent the military spirit is kept subordinated by the opposition of organized labor, <

 'In regard to Company D, have every reason to elieve that there is splendid material for an enthusiastic company and some of the best marks men of the territory are here. A good marksman, a man who can handle a rifle, possesses one of the most important rrquisifieS of a soldier But along with the ah lity to shoot we'll mnst als be a disposition to obey orders, to observe military rules and regulat ons. All are necessary to the making ol good sol dier."
 While tke Mesa company is di- rectly in the lime light 1t is evident from Captain Ord's remarks that there are other companies that have fallen short, and their im- pending muster out will deplete again the militia organization of the territory to a few companies with hardly numerical strength for a battalion.
 There are many causes for the neglect of duty by the militia throughout the territory, and par- ticularly so in the smaller towns. In the first place the military spirit Is not very strong among the people. Possibly that spirit may be az strong as elsewhere; but with limited population the proportion is small of eligible men who have that spirit enthusiastically ly-suffici- ciently so to make them interested d in the work, regular at drills, prompt to respond to calls, and with an espirit du corps that will place the military organization above all else. In their laudable ambition to build up the N. C. A. to respectable showing the militia authorities at Phoenix have en. couraged organization of companies at various places throughout the territory. Leading young men in a community, with superabundant local pride, are endowed with au- thoriiy to recruit company, which is duly mustered in, armed and equipped. To acquire quota all the country surrounding is called upon to contribute enlistments. Company G, for merly at Nogsles, had enlisted men who lived at Washington Camp, and all along the Santa Cruz river. When there is a newness to the affair attend ance Is very good, and those hav- ing it in hand f4tter themselves upon the success of their organiza- tlon. But after a while the distant men lose their interest, they fail to attend the drills, the company Ian.  guishes, has few constant attend ants, and a whole lot of men on paper. Suddenly an inspecting officer appears on the scene, there are hurrying and skurrying in all directions to get men together, with the mortifying plight in which Company D at Mesa now finds itself.
 The same effect is engendered by .W

St. Paul Dispatch: According to
Captain ]. P. Baker OF Blsmarck' N.
D., head of the Benton Packet COM
pany, which operates line OF eight
boats on the upper Missouri river
farmers who own property along the
banks of the Big muddy, will have
opportunity of helping themselves
and helping the government, If the
appropriation of $4,000 Is made for
river improvement north Of the Da'
kota line. A great part of the money
will necessarily be spent in reVet'
ment of the river banks to prevent
the stream from cutting further IN
land. The revetment is usually made
of a mating of willows with stones
heaped upon it.
There are sufficient willows along
the banks to supply the need IN re-
yetment and sufficient stones loose
upon the fields to give it weight
Farmers will not only improve their
farms bv collecting these stones, Du1
the government will pay them for
hauling them to the river bank.

priation bill an item of Sl7o,ooo. tao-

Captain Baker declares that an er-
roneous idea is held by the puD'lc
generally in looking upon waterways
as possible competitors Of railways
for freight business. On the contrary
he says, railways are what make
waterways profitable. "Of what val

COMPULSORY EDUCATION.

Glenullin News: Rueben H. Whit
new. a well-to-do farmer living eight
miles east from Almont, was brought
to that place and arraigned before
Judge Templeton last Thursday on
the charge of neglecting to send ms
children to school as required by
law. Assistant States Attorney Sui
livan conducted the prosecution. the
testimony in the case disclosed that
the family lives within the proper
distance from the schoolhouse and
that out Of the eight months school
was taught in that district last year.
Mr.. Whitney's children attended less
than one-third of the time. At the
time Superintendent Lorin made the
complaint, this particular school had
been in session five months for the
present year and the children had
been present but one week during
that time. Mr.. Whitney was found
guilty and the minimum f1ne-fve
dollars-was imposed, which with
the costs amounted to 1865. This is
another of series Of cases of this
nature that has been tried this win
ter, in an earnest effort on the part
of the school authorities of the
county to get the children OF 1ndlf-
ferent parents into school.
