MUST HAVE IT.

The wagon road t9 Mem mphi,. about which So much has recently been said and written, must be finished and put into first class condition. There are large number Of enterprisiHg gentle men here and in Memphis and else where. who are vitaily interested in the completion Of this rOzd-so that crops may be hauled over it. % that the people can drive over it aith their teams fl they wish to. aad s9 that owners can drive their automobiles and al kinds Of machines, carriages, wagons. etc, over it. and enjoy t. both from a standpoint Of pleasure and profit, and they are anxious to help in substantial financial nay Some means must be adopted To get these people together, or get their signatures to paper stating just what they will give toward complet- ing this road. and then the money must be collected and either turned over to the county judge as an aux Hilary fund or put in the hands Of some person or persons authorized 10 pay il out for the purposes only for which It is intended, and the work begun and pushed 10 satisfactory conclusion.
 Senator DeR0sitt WAS caller al The Times office Tuesday and inform ed US Of a party consisting Of five wagonloads of emigrants from Iowa whom he had seen and talked to, and who had travelled over part of this road They were on their way e Texas, and came over the new cut Military road last Friday from Crit tenden county. They said they found this road in fine condition along its entire length from Blacklist lake to the Patterson place, where the pro- posed automobile road leaves the Military road and turns south to come by the way Of Forrest City. After leaving the Patterson place, they re ported. that the road for three miles running south from the Military road is in a very bad condition, and that all that is needed. IT that we lack oi having real good, first class road from Forrest City to Memphis, is for the road oyerseers along the route from the Hunter place to the Militar, road, to get busy But they will need and have to have helpfrom the county judge or some other source, as this | big job, requiring a lot Of work ant good deal Of money. On the roat north from Will Clark's house 10 tn Military road is where the work i needed most. If this road can be pu in good order-just this little srtetcl of three miles 1t will give us roat on which we can go to Memphis in tw' and half hours in an automobile, aut farmers can bring their cotton anC other prod ucts 10 town in less thar half the time 1t now requires, II iu deed, they could do SO al all now.

An Interesting Column of Items CulIed
 From Territorial Exchanges.


 James Cox who is putting down an artesian well two miles east of BoVie on the land that he has filed on, says that the drill is now down 600 feet and that water stands within thirty feet of the sur isce He says that he was not able to go any further, having run out of funds. MT. Cox also an- nounCes that before the 900 foot level is reached he would have an artesan flow. A number of the citizens of Bowie started a sub sCrption list, and in short time had raised money enough for MT. Cox to continue drilling down to 1000 feet if necessary.
 Yuma Examiner: The good news comes to us that the work on the San Diego Arizona railroad now building Is to be started at the California end and that a force of right way men are now busy in the valley buying up rights and paying cash for them. IL is also stated that there is a clause in these rights of way that guarantees the road to be complet- ed in twelve months, or else for ieits it's rights. That means that they will start active construction in a very short time and work from both ends of the line. The gap between the Imperial valley and Yuma is already closed by the h. ter.California road via Algodones and Mexicali.
 Tombstone Prospector: Among the matters heard and disposed of in the district court throughout to- days session was the introduction of many citations and references as to whether or not the writ of Certiorari issued by Judge Doan last week restraining the board of supervisors from calling a local option election in the Wilcox pre- einCt on the first of July, be made permanent or dissolved. After con siderable discussion the court took the view that the board of super- VisOrs in considering the petition for the election, which included justice precincts No. 3, 2 and IA, was defective, because the same was not signed by fifty voters from each of the said justice precincts and that the board therefore acted on it's own motion in calling an election for the Wilcox precinct. The court affirmed the action ta- ken by the board in calling the election. Attorney Gung1, who represented the petitioners appeal ed to the supreme court and asked that execution of the courts judg ment be stayed until the appeal was determined. This was denied also, and notice of appeal to the eopreme court filed. Meanwhile Ihe election will be held on July l't as originally ordered.
 Arizona Republican: A tele- phone message was yesterday re- pelyed from Sam Webb, in the Me- ,ldlan neighborhood, that the al- aIia seed crop in that part of the valley would be a failure this year; s' any rate, there would be no seed rom the present growth of alfalfa.
 I was stated that the blooms had al been cut off by some kind of a 9Sag that had not been classified. Hf' Webb said that he. and his uelghoOrs would therefore cut the present. growth for hay. honino

interfered with. That was not the first heard of the ravages of this mysterious bug. As long as month ago word was brought in that the same pest was making the alfalfa seed crop in the Buckeye country hopeless. Last year Buck, eye furnished more and better seed than any other part of the county. But yesterday Johnnie Montgomery arrived from Arlington and he said that he had heard nothing of the pest there or in the Buckeye coun- try. His alfalfa is fourishing and at present the indications are in favor of as good a crop as he had last year. He said he had not been i'll town ten minutes before he had three inquiries concerning the fail ure of the alfalfa seed crop in the Buckeye. The Buckeye is an ex- tensive region, and while in places the bug may be at work it is evil dent that it has by no means covered the country. Complaints have been received from no other part of the valley.
 Artesian Belt: At the last &C., counts the Foxworth we'll was down to depth of about 700 feet, and considerable "flinty rock" was being encountered at times, ren- dering rapid progress impossible. There is plenty of water in the well-in fact too much to suit the drillers, the water standing, it is understood, within 20 feet of the surface all of the time. It is clearly evident, therefore, that but little more pressure would be need ed to cause the water to naturally flow over the top of the casing. So artesian water at this point is con- sidered practically a certainty. Already it is one of the finest pumping propositions in the coun. ty. The exact elevation at this we'll is not known, but it is about 100 feet higher than San Simon; for San Simon is 3,609 and Rodeo, N. NJ. 30 or 35 miles distant and beyond the Foxworth we'll, is, A. IS feet; and it is about six miles from this place to the we'll. There are two good reasons why artesian water at this we'll would be espe- eially valuable to the valley: First, the difference in elevation would furnish a line on the pro. bable depth of the flow strata to the south of San Simon; and secondly, it would in all likeli- hood mean that the artesian belt is continuous from San Simon IS miles south to the ceniegas, (mar- shy springs), since the Foxworth well is in almost direct line be- tween the two places.

We climb toward the truth along

developed in that way.
The opinions people used to hold

1t is much better to feel certain OF
what is not so than to have no convic-

ways has to come before truth.
The world had to believe that the
sun goes around the earth before 1t
could have wit enough to believe that
the earth goes around the sun. Theo-
logical truth is won by experiment as
much as the truths Of science.
Any believer or unbeliever is foolish
who considers that his creed or his

finality and is as aggravating to 9TH

DROWNED MAN MAY
HAVE BEEN MULLER
Resembled Insurrecto Who
Was Drowned Before
Juarez Battle.

The body of man. found in the Rio
Grande, back Of the Watts pumping
station Thursday night, Is believed to
be that Of Jules Muller, the Frencfiman
with the insurrecto forces, drowned
while the insurrectos were encamped
near the smelter before the battle.
Muller was drowned on May while
swimming IN the river. Earlier In the
day he had mixed up in the little trou-
BILE between Gar1baldi and Pancho
Villa over the members of the Ameri-
can legion selling their rifles, which
nearly ended in a fight between the
fordces of the two colonies.
Muller was supposed to have started
the fight between these two men. Later,
just before he went in swimming, 1t is
said that some one gave him q drink
of water which was doctored, so that
when in the water the poison took
effect and Muller drowned as a result
His body at the time was not recov-
cred The purpose of the drink was
to keep him from making any further
trouble in the camp.
The body which was found Thursday
night was in q nude state. as was Null
Ter when he went swimming and It
was also In a bad state Of decomposi-
ton as a result of the long stay in the
water The body is also believed to be
that Of white man. as one OF the hips
which was buried in the sandy bottom
of the river was white when 1t was
first uncovered, but as soon as it was
taken in the air turned black, as the
rest of the body was.
