Woman,s sense of Hc,or.

Much has been done by our own higher education and widening field of work, and a woman now despises what used to be by repute her most formidable weapons-a lie, tears and 0 skillful appeal to the vanity of man. The writer has often noticed the markedly greater breadth of view and the truer sense of honor among the present-day girl students compared with that which obtained when she herself was a student, and which is still largely that of women of her own age today. An even more strik- ing fact is that the majority of men do not seem to expect al keen a sense of honor from women as they do from themselves. This mental atmosphere has surely a deterrent effect upon the growth of that sense-A Woman Teacher, in London Spectator.

DOUGLAS. Ariz.. March 25-Pro.. c. E. r. Smith, irrigation engineer Of the Univer-Ity of Arizona returned
 today to Elfrida, a small village in
 the Sulphur Springs valley about
 twenty miles north O. this city after
 spending a few days here purchasing
 supplies for the continuation Of his
 irrigation experiments which he is
 making in the valley.
 Professor Smith has been making
 an extensive and thorough examina
 tion of the possibilities of pump irri
 gation in the valley in the course O.
 which he has studied the precipita
 ton and water supplies in the valley
 and on the surrounding mountains
 and has established a guaging station
 near this city in order to determine
 the percentage of rainfall which is
 lest 10 the valley by flowing aero ss the line into Mexico. It has been ascertained that the rainfall in the Eieh mountains is rom two to three
 times as great as in the valley and
 this heavy rainfall is largely instru-
 mental in replenishing the ground wat CT supply Of the valley.

 The well which is now being sunk
 was designed by Professor Smith particularly for the valleys Of south ern Arizona and many that produce satisfactory results have been sunk in Pima county during the last four years.
 When asked for brief description of the well, Professor Smith stated
 The great objection to a well drill ed from the surface is a centrifugal pump cannot b. worked in it with ! high or even fair efficiency, and with
 a dug well. the great difficulty is in curbing it below the water level. The curb which we are sinking is designed | on the principal Of an open caisson. l sometimes used for deep and difficult ! bridge work and piers. The well curb ! however, is a circular shell os rein | forced concrete. It is eight feet inside ] diameter. and the walls have a taper upward on the outside.

ROUND ABOUT THE STATE
HUNT SPENDS NIGHT
 WITH LONG TERMER
Governor Sleeps in Cell at Florence to Learn. of
 Conditions

So many letters Of inquiry have reached the governors office frola distant points asking for information about the resources Of Arizona that Governor Hunt has decided to seek the cooperation Of the various boards of trade .n the state in gathering in- formation To this end he has writ- ten to all the secretaries and othn- officials Of trade bodies asking fo- complete data on the industrial con- ditions and development Of each sec ton. If the response is prompt and liberal it will constitute no small con tribution to the advertisement of tho state among strangers.
 To many who may be thinking O. coming here to reside. Arizona is to great extent an unknown country. and IL IS but natural that many who seek information try to lind it hy writing tine governors office. The plan Of Governor Hunt is to adver- tise the entire state 10 each applicant for information by sending literature from different sections 10 each iE- Guirer when practicable. The out sider would thus have a wide ranGe of information and a choice of many localities.
 But it is also the purpose of Gov ernor Hunt to obtain in this way con- plete information in regard to pT.- vatc enterprises O. all kinds. includ- ing mining and irrigation projects, and subject these to inquiry as 10 their merits. The object is to pre- vent wild-catting, and all doubtful schemes, while giving encouragement to all that are legitimate.
 Those who ask for specific informa- ton about particular localities or in- dustries will be referred to reliable citizens in these sections and every effort will be made to protect the stranger. as well as to encourage the honest enterprise. This plan is well designed to promote the material wei- fare of Arizona along strictly legit'- rate lines. and Governor Hunt eX- presses the hope tEat those to whom he has written for data will be prompt and liberal with their re- spOnses.
