Free Gardens for Poor.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Why could not all that meadow-land
south of the city be used for some
charitable purpose, or to some advan-
tage, at least? Let me suggest a pur-
pose.
If some philanthropically inclined
person or organization would secure
from the city a lease on the property,
then divide it up into small plots and
loan these plots to the poor of the city
in order that they might raise vege-
tables on them during the summer, it
would De helping the poor far better
than giving them Then, too,
with the high price of meat, the poor
will have to subsist practically on a
vegetable diet this season, so why not
help them along?
As for seeds, the government at
Washington will furnish seeds free of
charge to anyone who applies. Every
poor man in this city would be deeply
grateful for the loan of this property.
He could in this way raise enough po-
tatoes or some such thing to last him
through next winter.
1t seems to me that a method like
this is far better than giving money.
The city might grant a free lease on
this property, for at present it is lying
idle, and is likely to for some time.

SPEAKER A r TAKES NO STOCK IN 1T.

O. PEAKER WARD took his time in making reply to the com
munication by the Governor referring TO him, as the proper
authority to act. the matter Of the alleged disordery acts in
the Stale House just prior TO the legislative adjournment. The
speakers reply is not altogether amiablc, but, though 1T shows some
asperity, it is undeniably logical. The speaker himself is an impor
tant witness in the case. He WAS present in the Assembly chamber
during the whole period up to adjournment, and he saw no evidence
of unseemly conduct. He is witness to the fact that nearly every
member was in his seat and participated in rollcalls up to the end.
And, moreover, he had personally investigated and satisfied himself
that no such disorder had occurred within the jurisdiction of the AS
sembly. AS to an investigating committee during the recess, that
was an impracticable suggestion. If the Governor saw fit to credit
an incredible statement he had the authority to call a special session
for the purpose of investigating it. But if the same absurdly exag
gerated Importance is given to every libel upon New Jersey that may
appear in a New York newspaper our State officials will always be at
loQgerbeads.

wants Lectures on Law.


To the Editor of the Evening Star:
7 notice that in the list of free lee
lures delivered in the city some hlghly
interesting subjects are dealt with anu
would like to make a modest sugses-
ton to the powers that be regarding
lectures. Ore of the essentials to bust
ness life, or in fact, just plain cltlzeh-
ship, is a knowledge of the law. lgno-
rance is no excuse for infraction, yet
the common individual with a common
school education has no chance to know
anything about it and leaves it to the
wise men-the lawyers.
Now a course of lectures on legal
subjects by prominent lawyers VINO IN
simple language would tell and illus
trate lust what the branches of the
law are would be beneficial and would
be welcomed by a large lumber OF
young business men who have to pay
by bitter experience n sometimes
financial loss to discover some of the
i~ntricacies of law which could be easily
impaired to them in a lecture. The lee
lures could start with legal history
and a thorough explanation as to what
the law really is. Contracts could be
taken up and real property and alb
stracts fully explained, ! am sure thai
such a course could be delivered by
prominent attorneys of the city and
would be of great benefit in making
better business men, better citizens
and more steady and substantial young
men.

eTa HE opening of the regular baseball season of the Eastern
League begins a struggle which will occupy the attention
and interest of at least onehalf of the population of Newark
until its close. The attendance at games already played this year
in different cities of the country shows that interest IN the national
came is still on the increase. and promises to be phenomenal this
year. 1t j a wholesome interest, as everything of an innocent char
acter is that affords diversion from the daily cares of life and takes
men out of themselves" The pride in cities and towns IN their
local teams. the exultation in their successes and the detection over
their defeats are also favorable to the civic spirit that should ami
mate all communities. This good spirit of rivalry has all OF the
American characteristics, too. Keen and eager, it is just and good
humored. However hot NAV be the close finish, to the victors are
ungrudgingly accorded the honors. AS in former years, the STAR
in the season now begun pins its faith on the stalwart nine that
will sustain Newarks claim to the league pennant.

POLITICS AND COMPETENCY.

eTTa HE theory of the Republican majority in the Common Council
is that all Democratic ofice-holders are incompetent. Con
yersely. all Republican oficehoders are competent. Pro
eeeding on that theory and upheld by a fine sense of public economy,
the steering committee of the majority last night decided to make
u general cleaning out of the Democratic Incompetence lodged in
the City Hall. There will, consequently, be made fifty vacated
places for competent Republicans to fill. Alderman Congleton does
not subscribe to the theory. He would judge a public employee
by his work. and not by his politics, but we have heard before of
the one refractory and altogether unreasonable man OF the jury
who makes trouble for all the rest. 1t appears that the New Idea
members from the Eighth and Ninth wards are in perfect harmony
with the regulars on the theory of politics and competency, which
shows that they are consistent, for the theory is a new idea.
Formerly men were appointed or bounced merely because of their
politics, and without any claim to competency through politics.

A 21O-MILE AEROPLANE JOURNEY.

ETN HE airship has now become almost a commonplace. The flying
of a heaverthanar machine is no longer a miracle, but
merely a feat, soon to be turned into an ordinary utility.
Yesterday Pauhan, the French aviator, finished a journey of 900
miles in five hours, one flight being of 1870 miles, and rising to a
height of 1000 feet. The aeroplane is yet in the infancy of its de-
velopment, and the rapidity with which it has been improved is a
marvel of the age. Invention and experimentation have conquered
the greatest problem, that Of making a heavy body support itself
and a passenger in the air. 1t is only a question now of power and
safety. the two essentials that must soon be fully supplied.

Republican OmcehoIders.

To the Editor of the Evening Star;
The steering committee of Common
Council. composed Of eleven Repubh-
can aldermen, did what the EVENING
STAR predicted they would do. They
decided to discharge fifty Democratic
employees in City Hall departments ano
appoint Republicans in their places. 1t
was decided also to drop more Demo-
cratic employees in the near future to
make places for hungry Republican
political heelers. The excuse for thi
radical action is the allegation thai
the Democrats are incompetent.
Alderman Conglcton, of the Eleventh
ward, was the only member of the
steering committee who opposed the
drastic partisan action. He said he

Governor Fort is expected to have
something to say next Tuesday on the
subject of the United States senator
ship and to declare that he is not a
candidate and will not consent to hav-
ing his name go before the primaries.
OF course, if voters insist, a man can
not prevent. Not being a candidate,
the Governor will naturally incline to
some particular candidacy. 1t won't
be Franklin Murphy. 1t is not likely
to be John Kean. The probability Is
it will be former Governor Edward @.

announcement of his retirement from the Senate with the
end of his present term. TheannOuncement will seem almost
rratuitous. 1t would be as possible for a camel to pass through the
eve of a needle as for Depew to get another election to the United
states Senate by a Legislature elected this year. The Rochester dis
trict election has evidently fully convinced Depew of a fact that he
has been slow to recognize, for he has been building fences for a
reelection, just as if he had never been compromisedy by the Arm

BIG WATER PROJECT
BY CHUCKAWALLA co.
Plan to Build Great Power Dam
Near Bill Williams
Fork

PARKER, Ariz., Dec. 22.-Orders
have been given by President R. NJ.
league Of the Cnuckawalla Develop
ment company for the initiation OF
drilling operations on the Colorado
river at a point known as Box canyon,
near Bill Williams Fork, about 16 miles
from Parker. A barge is now under
course of construction and upon com
plction the drilling machine received
will be loaded and tOWed up river by
the Iota which will be put in continu-
Gus commission for the carrying or
supplies to the place where the new
work is to be started.
The drilling operations which have
been in progress about five miles above
Parker for the past several months
are continued but it is given out that
this site will be abandoned owing to
the great depth of bed rock, which
makes that point impracticable for the
construction Of a pOWe" dam, Accord
ing to report the company Will endea-
vor to find q more suitable site fur
ther up the river.
In connection with the abandonment
of the Old site it is said that lO-toot
diversion dam is planned by the Chuck
awalla company at Headgate Rock, the
power dam to be built further up the
stream. If this report is correct it goes
to prove that the ChuckaWalla COM
pany plans to provide an irrigation
system for the reservation. Heretofore
officials of that company disClaimed
any intention TO provide an irrigation
project for these lands, basing their
arguments and petitions to congress
for the privilege of building dam on
the Colorado solely for the purpose of
conveying water into the ChuckaWalla
valley, over forty miles west of Parker.
This latter project it is now claimed
has been abandoned by the company
owing to its utter impracticability.
What arguments will be advanced be
fore the congressional committee on
rivers and harbors for the construc-
ton Of Il dam near Bill Williams Fork
are not known, but from all appear
anceS it looks as il it will have to be
admitted that it is solely for power
purposes.
1t it is true that the Chuckawalla
company is contemplating the ConStruc-
tion of a diversion dam in the event
of the passage of the Warren bill the
cost of such a dam would not be so
great as the one originally contemplate
ed, and in the absence of any holdup
in the way of water rights, no doubt
Parker citizens will approve this
means of opening the reservation, with
certain amendments to the Warren
bill.

EXPECT GREAT THINGS
FROM COCHlSE PROPERTY

TOMBSTONE, AriZ., Dec. 2L-At the Gold
Leaf mines owned by Frank Massooti, Frank
Trask and Eugene Nalenzucla, a small force
of men is engaged in sinking shaft on a gold
deposit that promises great things. This de-
posit occurs in the schist close to the lime
contact and can be traced for a mile or more
across the country.
but IL the ore holds it's own with depth there
must come before long quite rush 10 these
parts At the point where the SHAFT is being
put down there is an ore shoot 800 rect IN
length. The ore is a very triable fcrfuSlnouS
ouartz which runs in ribbons through the dis
coored schst and dips beneath the lime cap
PING one noticeable feature about this new
discovery is the Coarseness of the gold some
of the cours being as large as a grain OF
wheat,
were discovered. as for some years MeNicaus
haye ben dry washing the gravel under them,
Estevan Rivera, living at Terans Just below
TIE Sanchez ranch, has worked these gravel
deposits off and ON for some years, and he
states that this gold formation can be traced
over quite a large area of country. Cndoubt-
cdly the placer gold is due to the erosion OF
the quartz and altered schist, but Whether III
the latter it was accounted for by surface
concentration remains to be proved.
The property adjoins the Pool group ON the
NORTH which has been developed for the past
year by the San Pedro Development company
II is understood that the ores of this group,
which are high grade copper, also contain
gold in considerable quantity. But little work
is needed to open up large body OF smelling
conner ore on the contact, it being eslllnatNd
that the present crosscut is only seventy odd
feet from it.
With the great showing of copper and
the careful! manner in which the Pool property
has been developed there is every indication
of a permanent profitable mining camp COM
inc TO the producing stage at early date,
and If the gold deposits stand the test or
sinh g a great gold camp will also be opened
