aggregating 100000 upon which pay
ment had been stopped. were made in

Gated by Pennsylvania in the capitol

NJ. Huston of Philadelphia, who is I'M
der an indeterminate sentence of six
months to two years, and who has an
appeal in the supreme court, the capitol
fraud cases were declared ended and
the state satisfied.
The new state capitol. a magnificent
structure. with its rich furnishings cost
approximately $1300000O. OF this the
state is alleged to have been defrauded

neglected TO secure for their state
any allotments from the regular re-
clamation fund or the special fund
Of twenty millions provided at the
last session of congress. The Port
land paper goes further, and charges
that these senators have not even
made an effort to secure any reela-
nation benefits for their state.
The Oregonian is fundamentally
captiOus Politicians cannot do
everything at once, and when a man
sets out to be a reformer with graft
or an office as his goal he has no
time for the sordid, practical things
of life, such as the material building
up of his community. 1t may be that
Oregon is badly in need of more irri-
cation, but that need can well be
neglected so long as Bourne and
Chamberlain do their duty and keep
busy in telling the people of the
Onlled states lNdI llt Initiative anu
referendum and recall are the only
things needed on this earth. And
the best part of it is, that Bourne
and Chamberlain can prove that they
are right Are they not the very
best products of the Oregon plan?
Surely they are, and Oregon ought to
be satisfied with possessing them.
We regret to note so much dissat-
isfaction with the existing order OF
things in Oregon, just at a time
when Arizona has become reconciled
nay. happy-with the idea of losing
statehood in exchange for the ap-
proval of Oregon's two great states

SAVING RAINS ARE
FALLING EVERYWHERE
All Arizona Has Reason to Join in .
Chorus of Thanksgiving.

What has proved to be a general
rain all over Arizona. except on the
higher mountains both north aud south,
where the precipitation took the form
of snow, began on Monday, IT locally
Monday night, continued nearly. all day
yesterday and is still stormy, promis-
ing further precipitation today. Since
the beginning of the storm, up to 5
o'clock last evening SO OF an inch OF
rain had fallen here, most of II during
the preceding twenty-four hours. A
little has fallen since and the forecast
for today is probably more rain and a
little colder. The storm thus far is not
all that is needed. but il will go great
way toward that end. There is ample
water for present needs and the event
signaliZes the breaking of one of the
longest dry seasons in recent years.
Even if this storm stops now it is al
most a certainty ii will be followed by
others, and that before the middle of
March the Roosevelt reservoir will. be
filled.
Observer JesunOfsky has no prOvi-
sions for receiving telegraph reports
from Arizona stations, except in the
event the precipitation reaches or eX-
ceeds one inch at Flagstaff, jerome,
Seligman or Benson, which are adjacent
points for noting watershed conditions.
but in the event of such precipitation
these points are supposed to report
promptly at any time. There have
been no such reports for many, many
months, until $40 O'Clock last even
ing when Jerome reported a rainfall of
1:25 inches in the twenty-four hours
preceding o'clock. Mr.. JesUnOfsky
said that indicates that a flow of from
one and a half to three feet of water
should be coming down the Verde to-
day.
Judging from practice and conditions
that will mean that the gates will be
closed at Roosevelt for the restraining
of nearly all the flow in the Salt above
that point. The reclamation service
was informed yesterday that ii had
been raining all day at Roosevelt and
that a report from Cline to the north
was that there was a notable rise in
Tonic creek. though it had not reached
the reservoir at the time of the
message
Word from Prescott was that il be-
gan raining hard in that city at mid
night Monday and continued until yes
teday morning and probably rained
more or less all day yesterday. That
also means more water for the Verde.
Mr.. Jesunofsky when seen yesterday
said the precipitation was the result
of an extensive cyclone located over
Oregon, Montana, Washington, Idaho,
Nevada. Utah, northern California and
Colorado. There were two distinct

The Ssnate's Growing Death Roll

The Senate'S Growing Death holl
The Sixty first congress has be-
come notable for the many senators
that have died since it began. Since
the adjournment of last summer five
senators have passed away: Daniel
of Virginia, McEnery of Louisiana.
Clay of Georgia, Dolliver of Iowa,
and Elkins of West Virginia. And
all of them were of the foremost rank
of strong men in the senate. Daniel,
McEnery and Clay were democrats.
and Dolliver and Elkins republicans,
so that each party has suffered
severe loss.
The republican party also loses in
numerical strength, by the death of
Senator Elkins The democratic vic
tory of last November had already
made it certain that the republican
majority in the new senate would
not be more than 10. and the loss Of
Ell1ins reduces this majority to S,
as he will be succeeded by a demo-
crat.
The death Of Senator Elkins also
causes a complete reversal of West
Virginia's representation in the SEN
ate. The election of democratic
legislature had already assured the
retirement of Senator Scott on the
3rd of next March, and now the
legislature will have TO elect sue
.cessors to both Scott and Elkins.
