tually profitable to extend the consid-
Grafton of the tariffs Of the two coun-
tries, already begun, to the point Of
complete reciprocity agreement.
The cordial approval throughout the
country, which the proposed agree
ment received when 1t was sent to the
senate surprised even those who were
responsible for its making: and am
confident that further consideration OF
the treaty since it's submission to con-
gress In January last, has only con-
firmed the popular judgment in favor
Of Its adoption into law. r
Agreement Criticised Much.
The question naturally arises why !
should come out from Washington 20
Chicago to speak on an issue like this
when the persons to be reached are so
much nearer my usual place OF resi-
dence. The bill will pass, IL 1t passes at
all, because the force Of public opinion
is In Its favor.
The agreement has been criticised
because 1t was framed as complete
document by the state department.
without consultation with members 81
the house or the senate and we Of the
have been subjected TO
many attacks on these grounds The
subject matter Of the treaty, however,
was of such character-it covers so
many different items-that IL confer
ences had been sought in respect to
those items, the individual objections
by senators and representatives would
have been so many that we would
never have reached an agreement at
all.
One Of the objections to the old
method Of framing q tariff bill was
that in order to secure it's passage
every district had to be given some
thing in the bill in the way of protec-
ton, whether 1t needed 1t or not for
the purpose of passing the representa-
tive of that district and securing his
support. Since then the proposition
has been made, and has received the
general approval, that the various
schedules of the tariff should be con-
sidered separately and that the amount
OF protection to be furnished to q par
ticular product should be determined
on its merits with reference to the cost
of its production at home and abroad.
Now the Canadian reciprocity In
little different way involves in its con-
sideration the same principle. 1t calls
for approval Of 1t as a unit, without
regard to the necessity for tariff re-
vision, If there be such necessity, Ill
respect to other schedules Of the tariff

nuel is merely a test and the de- cision of Judge Kent will have far-reaching results. If a perman- ent writ is granted him, half a dozen other Indians held on forg- cry charges will have to be releas- ed. There was a newspaper dis cussion early in August regarding the territory's jurisdiction in h. dian forgery cases. The consensus of opinion seemed to be that the territory had no jurisdiction, nor can Indian forgers be punished in federal courts. ThereCpon, some six or seven Indians passed forged checks on Mesa business houses. All were arrested and committed.
 Arizona Gazette: Extension of one year has been granted holders of Parker townsite lots by the department of the interior, accord ing to information received this morning by c. w. Mckee of this city from A. s. Prescott, manager of the Parker Commercial Com pany. This news is particularly gratifying to many business men of this city, it being estimated that between seventy-fve and eighty Phoenicians bought lots in Parker two years ago CT have acquired them subsequently,. The value of the Parker townsite and the lots lies mostly in the fact that the government is expected to throw open for homestead entry the lands now occupied by the Colorado In- dian reservation. In fact, 1t is understood that the sale of these lots by the government was not made until assurance practically amounting to promise that the adjacent lands would be thrown open had been secured from the department of the interior. As the throwing open of these lands had not been effected a year ago, an extension of time of payments was granted by the department. The matter has since been in abeyance, and as the problem seems no nearer solution than previously, the second extension has been granted. It is predicted that fl these lands were thrown open, in less than a year that section would be teeming with life and Parker would be a city. There are thous- ands of acres which need only the touch of water to make them spring into verdure and the water is easily obtainable either from the Colorado or by wells sunk to depths of from ten to fourteen feet. The Chucka- walla Dam Company proposes tC irrigate thousands of acres in that section and the homestead lands now occupied by the Indians is SC situated that this project could water their lands.

 From Territorial Exchanges.

Globe Democrat: The decision made by the commissioner general of the United States land office awarding prior right of entry to the Winkelman townsite claim ants in the case of Toweil ct al vs. the Winkelman townsite has been affirmed by decision of the secre. tary of the interior, announcement of which was made Saturday. This case was first tried before the land office at Phoenix in June, 1910, the decision being rendered in favor of Winkelman townsite. The decision was afterward affirmed by the commissioner general of the land office, from whose decision an appeal was taken to the secretary of the interior. There were two homestead claimants and Pliny Thoraldson of Phoenix, was trying 10 scrip the land over the heads of the occupants. Messrs. Rawlins and Little and Paul c. Thorne were attorneys for the Winkelman Townsite claimants, Thomas Arm strong, IT,, of Phoenix represented Pliny Thoraldson, and Alexander and Christy of Phoenix represented Toweil the homesteader.
 Yuma Sun: Plans and specifi- cations for the excavation of the main canal on the other side of the river, were received yesterday by Project Engineer Sellew from he head office of the Recla- nation Service, and will be deliv- cred to prospective bidders on ap- plication. The part of canal to be bid on begins one mile below La- guna Dam and runs 10 the point where 1t turns from the mesa toward the siphon, distance of nine miles. Above and below this the canal is completed. This part of the canal is divided into six sec- lions of nearly equal length and bidders may bid on one or more sections. The aggregate yardage is 1,312,000 cubic yards. Each bid must be accompanied by check of 5000 as security for good faith and also by guarantee that bidder can furnish required bond. Bids will be received to ? p. m. October l2. Work must begin within 30 days after signing of contract and April 1, 1912, is set as the time by which the work is to be completed Contractors will forfeit $15 per day for each section where comple- ton is delayed beyond date set.
 Arizona Democrat; Whether an Indian can be punished for forgery under the territorial statutes, will be decided by Judge Kent Sa. turday morning al 9:30, when he will say whether a writ of habeas corpus shall be issued to Louis Manuel, Maricopa. Manuel is held in the county jail to await lhe action of the territorial grand jury on charge of forgery. He was arrested at Mesa August 15 by Constable H. s. Peterson, and held to the grand jury by Justice George s. Irwin. It is claimed in the petition for writ of habeas corpus that Indians can be punish. ed only for crimes set. forth in certain federal statutes. These statutes do not mention forgery therefore it is no crime for an In dian to forge. Manuel's imprison- ment is alleged to be illegal. Judge
