New Telegraph Line

Extensive improvements in telegraphic facilities for Tucson, due to 8 great increase in local business, are being arranged for by F. A. Bennett, plant superin- tendent of this district with headquarters in Los Angeles, who is in Tucson to make neces- sary arrangements. MT. Ben nett is one of the newly appoint ed officials of the Western Union company and has just arrived from Chicago, where he held a position as wire chief for the Santa Fe railroad.
 Estimates are now being pre- pared in Los Angeles for the construction of a new telegraph line from that city to Tucson, he sad, and TOT the construction or another line from Tucson to El Paso. Actual work should be- gin within a few weeks. A part of the cross arms on the eastern end have already been placed.
 The line from the west will be joined at MaricOpa by the new copper wire which will serve Phoenix. About half of that line has already been completed.
 There is no reason why Yuma not secure the advantage of this connection as well as Tucson. It would be of great benefit to this place. One of the crying needs locally, also, is night Western Union service.

Whispering John, y
 Ex-Stago Driver

Tucson Citizen: Though he has been absent from Tucson many years, Col. John Capron, a member of the Pioneers His torical Society, is desirous in the evening of his life to get in touch with the lives of other early residents of Tucson, find out what they have done since he left here soon after the close of the Civil war, and learn of those who have pushed on" as the Pioneers phrase it..
 Mr. Capron has done some rising himself. When he was in Tucson he was a stage driver. Nov he is one of the leading bankers of San Diego, Cal.
 A student in the university, John Cole, who registers from San Diegoand is friend of MT. Capron, putting in most of his spare time at the headquarters of the Pioneers Society and in the society of the few, pioneers of the section who survive, gath ering information for MT. Cap ron.
 One of the incidents for which Mr. Capron is remembered in Tucson was the rescue party which he led to the Mexican border upon receiving informa- tion of the impending Crabb massacre ct Caborca shortly be- fore the Civil war. Hearing from runners that twenty Amer jeans were imprisoned at Ga. bOrca and were to be executed by the governor of Sonora for being alleged filibusterers, he gathered a party of cowboys, miners and Indians and hurried to Caborca, arriving there just after the alleged flibusterers were maSSacred.

Regardless of the End

Ino serene QlSfeSafQ or cOnSe- quenccs which prevails in the constitutional convention was acknowledged with almost brutal frankness by MT. Winsor yester- day. In the course Of a debate on a proposition to amend the rules, the main argument ad- vanced in favor of the amend ment was that an opportunity would be given to consider such propositions as might be submit ted with reference to court de- ciSiOnS as to their constitution ality. It was stated in reply that a majority of the delegates in the convention were not law yers and would not therefore be able to apply court decisions to the proposed constitutional pro- visions. Moreover, the lawyers who were able to make such ap- plication would not have any weight with the other members.
 That is, the majority, without any knowledge of law, without the slightest idea whether the propositions which happened to please their fancy would be of any force in the consultation, would have them anyhow, de- spite the advice of trained attor- neys that they would be without effect.
 This appears to be the ram pant aud prevalent spirit in the convention. The "isms" must go into the constitution whether fatal or not to statehood More than that, they must go in were an angel from heaven to appear on the floor, if he could do so without 0 violation of the rules, and give assurance that they would be fatal.
 Though the convention is yet young, it is sufficiently old to in- spire a fear that a great deal of time and money is being wasted to no purpose.-Arizona Repub- !ican.

San Diego and YGmd
 Bridge Contracts Let

San Diego Union; Contracts awarded for the steel construc- tion of two bridges, one at the second crossing of the Tia Juana river and the other over Matan uco creek, means, Chief Engi neer Kallright says, that by Jan. uary the San Diego & Arizona railway will have forty miles of track completed.
 The bridge contracts were awarded to Charlus w. Corberly of Los Angeles. For several months 400 tons of steal have been on the ground. The time required in the construction of the concrete piers for both bridges has delayed steel work on the superstructures.
 Chief Engineer Kallright states that both bridges will be Of the deck girder system, supported by steel towers. The Tia Juana span will be 5l0 feet long, while the one over Matanuco creek will be 180 feet.
 The roadbed is graded thirteen miles beyond tunnel No. ?. Track laying and other construction work is practically suspended until the completion of the bridges, as it is impossible to haul supplies to the front.
 The bridge contracts call for their completion by December l. With the bridges in place and tunnel No. ? completed, Engi- neer Kallright is certain that by the end of the year the track will be laid to the end of the grade. Tunnel No. lis complet- ed and the work on No. 2 is so far advanced that within the next six weeks it will be in shape to permit track laying.

Automobile Lire
 MOhaWk-P POlariS

An automobile service in con nection with this division of the Southern Pacific has been an- nounced by that company over the signature of R. $. Stubbs, assistant general freight and passenger agent.
 The announcement states that an auto service has been installed over Col. Geo. W. Norton's stage route between Mohawk, a station between Gila Bend and Yuma, and extending to Polaris, pass ing through Kofa en route. Those points, formerly reach ed by stage, required hard days drive to accomplish the one-w way trip of 50 miles. Now it can be made much more com forGably in a few hours.

Water Storage by Air

The claims Of the automatic hydraulic air compressor as a system capable of utilizing the waters of the Colorado river for power and irrigation without the aid of 6 dam are extremely inter esting. This air system is sue cessful operation atCobalt, Can ada, and at the Victoria mine in northern Michigan, and a few other places. It's distinguishing feature is a stream of water de- scending through q shaft into 8 cave and Issuing again to the surface from an outlet shaft at the other end of the cave. The descending mass of water entraps air which is stored in the cave.
 The man most identified with the construction of these plants says he can use the system on the Colorado without.a dam by means of long tunnels in places where there is suitable fall in the river, and he claims he can transmit compressed air sixty five miles from the plants thus constructed. The plant at the Victoria mine has seventy foot head of water, three five foot in- take shafts 329 feet deep empty ing into a cave twenty eight feet high, fifty feet wide and 325 feet long and yields 5000 horse pow
 CT. At the other end of the cave there is an outlet tunnel ten feet high and leading to the 16v16 foot outlet shaft conducting the water back to the surface.
 The compression of the air re- suits from the tendency of the water in the outlet shaft to rush upward to the roof of the cave, About one fourth of the descend ing mass is compressed air. No machinery is required in this system, and plant well con structed may last for forty or fifty years without any consider able repairs. The availability of the system as scientific enter prise of great merit may be affected by the silt problem when emploVpd on tho COlOrad0 riyar

This season Rhoda Royals troupe of twenty high-school prize-winning thoroughbreds-uni crowned favorites-have been added. This combines every link from the primitive and practical to the artistic develop nent of the educated equine. These two intelligent studs have never be- fore been seen in one arena both recognized as top-notchers of the ex- eclsior class. Another interesting equine novelty is Football on Horseback, played between Indians and cowboys mounted on the rugged little cayuse and the belligerant broncho. Brought over from England this new style of athletics is an absolute novelty, grotesquely presented and full of real comedy. Essentially a "horse show" in the broadest acceptance of the term, the Wild West and Great Far East ex- hibition Is in no wise limited to equine features, for there are military displays, cavalry charges and gorgeous pageants. The splendors of the Orient are here reflected, early American history IS brought to mind in stirring conflicts and replicas of barbaric Indian warfare. And the feature of features is the ap- pearance at every performance, rain or shine, of Col Wm. F. Cody, the only and original Buffalo Bill," who gives his personal attention to every detail gf the exhibition.

Is This Civilization?

A press dispatch from Ell Paso recounts all instance, duplicates of which are all too common in | the annals of what we are won't to vaunt with pride as modern civilization. A blue-eyed baby of few weeks age, abandoned by destitute, or desperate, or in different mother; left to the chances and penalties of cold ordered world, was adopted by a Mexican dancing girl and it's future rendered securely com fortable through her warm hearted devotion. The dispatch also chronicles that the casting off of the infant by the mother was incomprehenslble to the dancing girl, as Mexican people do not abandon their children" !" It must be admitted that there is nothing in the principles of logic or reason that could be present. ed to make it comprehensible to her.
 It is not so long since Yuma afforded a similar instance to the above. It is a sad commentary upon Anglo Saxon civilization that such occurrences call for relation, and frequently so. A civilization that rears palaces of stone and marble and imposes conditions that cause it's people to abandon their offspring be- heath the shadow of them, con- tains within it's construction the ineviGa ble causes of decay and destruction. The primitive vir- tues. are the fundamentals of ethics. An individual, nation or race that discards them commits a stultitication that can not be redeemed. They are the life blood of any real civilization. All else is superficial and incl dental ofnamentation.
 "Mexican people do not aban- don their children" True, and most honorably true. And one reason, among others, is that Mexican people do not impose upon womanhood that yields heedlessly to over ardent impuls- es and incprS natural penalties thereby, an additional penalty that such must be paid for with a lifetime of shame and ostracism upon the part of better bred, or colder hearted, or more calcu- lating, or hypocritical mem bers of the race.

Constitutional
 Convention

The first week of the work oi framing a constitution for the new state of Arizona ended with organization and an order of business perfected and the intro. duction of propositions which various members desire incorpo. rated in the constitution began Monday. Fourteen propositions were filed the first day, which included three initiative and ref erendum bills. Chief among these was one by Judge A.-C. Baker based upon the Oregon plan," but different therefrom in some features. It provides for an s per cent initiative and per cent referendum in state legislation, and 15 and 10 per cent in municipalities. It also provides the requirement of threefourths vote by the legis- lature to pass measure over a veto by the governor.
 Cassidy of Maricopa introduced a proposition for a one house legislature, abolishing Q senate; providing for 10 and 5 per cent initiative and referendum; and for an oath eSacted from mem- bers of the legislature pledging non participation in any caucus.
 Winsor of Yuma offered u proposition for direct legislation, with 8 per cent for the initiative and five per cent referendum, initiative bills to be filed forty days before general election, and the referendum to be invok ed at the option of the people within ninety days after the ad journment of the legislature. The proposition of Winsor goes into more details as to the oper- alton of the law than any of the other propositions on the same subject. The rights of initiative and referendum are reserved for counties and municipalities in tue state, the Der cents being 15 for initiative and 10 for referen dun in such subdivisions.
 To aid the secretary of state, county recorder or city clerk to verify the names on the petition it must be accompanied by a de- claration that each signer is a voter, his postOftice address and SUIGCU dIlQ tlull OSE dnO bLO OdlG of signing the petition.
