vided a federal court for Clarksdale, but
no counties were designated to compose
the division for that court. A bill has
been reported by the judiciary committee
at this session, and is now OH the house
calenda-. CREATING division for the
Clatlsdale court, to be composed of the
counties of TIT "a 0uitma". Gatkona,
Bolivar, Sunflower, Leflore and Talla-
hatchie This bill will no doubt pass the
house in few days, and in all proba-
bility viii become a law.
There is another bill pending, intro
duced by Representative Sisson, the pur-
pose of which is to remove the federal
court from Oxford, where it is now held,
to Grenada This bill is before the ju-
dietary committee, but no action has
been taken on it by the committee
No bill has been introduced in the
senate or house providing for an addi-

Mr.. Smith wGs doubtless unagare of
the fact that the Confederate veterans
of the State and Sons of Veterans
have stated repeatedly, that they want
ed this monument to be a free will of
fering to the noble women of the South,
and neither wanted nor would receive
any legislative aid therefor, while at
the same time appreciating the kindly
spirit in which the effort is made to OBJ
tain it.
Hon. Fl. Clay Sharkey of Jackson is
treasurer of the fund, which is rather
small las yet, and will gladly receive
any voluntary subscriptions and dona-
tions. Hon. Charles Scott of Rosedale
is president of the association, and start
ed it off with the munificent gift of a
thousand dollars.
He has also interested Mrs Nellie
Nugent Somerville, who is going to can

fund, and is already making dates to
look after the subscriptions and will be
in Sharkey county next week.
The design has been selected, and the
committee will meet at Jackson on

The New Water System.

Last Saturday the new municipal water system for Nogales, Arizona, was connected with the reservoir, and Tuesday morning the engines and pump were started on test run, which may be said to have proved very satisfactory. The ma chinery is working nicely, and as soon as the newness is overcome it will be very likely all that can be demanded, and will meet the specifications of the contract, which call for a continuous stream of 300 gallons of water per minute, with out cessation.
 The engine is a De la Verne oil burning engine, with 90 h. p. ca- pacity, and it is attached to heavy Gould pump that will throw the volume of water named, keep ing it at a constant and continuous pressure for an indefinite length of time. The engine can be run twenty-four hours with consump- tion of but one barrel of crude oil, which costs $1.65 laid down at the plant on the Santa Cruz river about five miles from Nogales. MT. W. w. Coons, an experienced en- gineer, who was with the Nogales Electric Light, Ice & Water Co.,, several years, is the engineer as the pumping station.

HOW WIDE IS RIGHT OF WAY?
May Cost Farmers Along U. p. t.
Learn Answer.

How wide is the Union Pacific
right of way?
Ii may cost Kansas farmers livine
along the railroad good deal to
learn the answer to this question
says a dispatch from Washington
but 1t will not II congress accepts
the view of Senator Bristow. Bristow
has introduced a bill which seeks to
settle the dispute Of the railroad
company, arising from recent claim
OF the company to a 1OO-foot strip
OF land on each side of its present
right of way.
An act passed in 1852 granted a
right OF way 400 feet in width. Be-
fore anything was done toward the
construction Of the road, however,
congress passed an amendatory act
fixing the width at 200 feet. This
was in 1864, and for more than forty
years the railroad company and the
settlers along its line have accepted
the limit fixed in the act OF 1854.
Recently. however, the company has
laid claim to the amount fixed in
the earlier grant, and farmers along
the Union Pacific in Kansas. Nebraska
and Colorado have been notified to
vaeate this land, which they have
occupied since the settlement Of the
sountry The disputed 1OO-fOOt strip
On each side Of the road include much
valuabIe farm land now under cul-
ovation, as well as some business
property in towns through which the
gnion Pacific runs.
