It will be a beautiful sight to see green grass and green trees lining all the walks in the yard. but such will be the case soOn."

INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL AT BENSON IS IN A
 POOR CONDITION
The Building is Cracked in Several Places and Not
 Considered Safe

A visit to the Arizona Indus trial School in this town will convince anyone that 1t is in a very poor condition; on every side of the building are gaping cracks Tn the walls caused either by a faulty foundation or from settling ground, says a special correspondent of the Bisbee Re- view, writing from Benson.
 Superintendent I. F. Mahoney has recently done some work calculated to protect the walls, cement butments have been put in on two sides of the building and iron rods have been put through the building with large washers to hold the walls to- gether. But even with this pre- caution, Mir. Mahoney Is not. satisfied that the building is en- tirely safe, and then he is more and more disgusted with the h. cation for such a building; the land surrounding the school, which, architecturally, is not un- slightly, is practically barren and not fertile soil.
 The surface Is very coarse gravel, and even with an abund- mt water supply, would not be very productive. But there is no water to be had, except for SUD- plying the domestic requirements of the school. There are no trees, vines or lawns because of the lack of soil fertility and the re- luired m ,isture. The ambitious superintendent has planted half an acre in spuds, which he IS try ng to irrigate with a hand pump, but only a struggling po- cato vine has peeped through the surface here and there.
 In the reform school now there Ire sixty boys and five girls. come of the boys are big, husky ooking fellows, and if the school vas located where fertile and ir- igable land could be had, the ,e 'oys could greatly relieve the ex- )ense of the institution to the Territory by raising vegetables md marketable crops. The only 1oduct of the school now is the milk from half a dozen cows and he raising of a few h Dgs which Ire fed the swill from the school kitchen. However, with all these landicaps, the industrial school being carried al ,ng very eco- nomically, and is costing the Territory less than $l.5OO per month. If the school was prop .rly located in the fertile San Pedro valley, that cost could be more than cut in half.
 Hon. J. F. Mahoney, who has held the position of superintend- ent of the industrial school for five years, is a citizen of Wins low. During that time h. has made some excellent improve ments and maintained perfect discipline. Miss Mabel Fisher is bookkeeper and in charge of the commissarv. The matrons are Cynthia Gray and Lydia Mafer. Henry P. Dougherty is captain of Company A and w. A. Ryan is captain of Company B., the larger boys be in A and the smaller in B company. Morgan Shaughnessy is the teacher, Dick Pederman yardman and John McGill Is watchman.

For Fire Control
 On National Forests
From the U. s. Department of Agri-
 culture, Forest Service.

W Company, and also one with the Northern Pacific Railway Con- panv, which provides for co operation of the Forest Service and the railroads to prevent damage to the National Forests from fires along all lines operated by these railroads. These agree ments had already been signed by R. l. Farrington, vice presi, dent of the Great Northern, and Howard Elliott, president of the Northern Pacific, so that they are, by the signature of the Secretary of Agriculture, now in force.
 The agreements have in view both the reduction to the lowest point of the fire risk fl om the operation of the railroads and joint action by the Forest Ser vice and the railroads to fight all fires which may start along the lines The companies agree to clear and keep clear of inf1am- able material a strip of varying width, as conditions may de mand, up to 200 feet beyond the the right of way, an l to provide all locomotives which do not burn oil with suitable spark ar resters and other standard equip ment to prevent the dropping of fire. It IS also stipulated that every effort will be male by the companies to operate their loco motives so as not to cause fires. The protective strip is to be des- ignated jointly by representa- tives of the railroad and the Forest Service.
 In fighting fires the railroads and the Forest Service will CO., operate closely. Prompt notifi- cation to Forest officers of all fires discovered by employees of the railroads is pro"ided for. Telephone lines to make this pos sible will be put up by the Forest Service, using the companies poles where this is desirable. Warning whistles will be sound ed by locomotives on occasion. Forces of fire fighters will be as sem hled on the outbreak of fires. made up of Forest officers, rail, road em i)loyes, and such tenn porary labor as can be gathered by eithlr Except for salaries ot regular emplDyes the cost ot fighting fires which start within 2UU lett of the railroads will be borne by the Companies and all others by tht Forest S.rvice, un les, 1t shall be shown m tht first c.tse rh.lL tine railroads were not resp 'nSible or in the sec lnd case that thty We're res pohsiJle for tne outbreak of the fl e.
