surmount, and but one air valve needed. The change by the council in the course of the line had cost the contractor far more than the cost of the air valves.
 Upon the sixth objection MT. Karns agreed to go over the line with the mayor, the water com mittee, or any one delegated, and measure up the places where but tresses may be needed under the exposed pipe, and make them com ply with the specifications of the contract. Doctor Doherty, of the water committee, was selected to accompany Mir. Karns and to see the work is done,
 The last objection Mir. Karns met by producing guaranties from the manufacturers, and called at- tention to the contractors guaranty in the contract. He produced also receipts from laborers, foremen, etc., showing payment of bills, and has made affidavit that those bills covered all possible liens, which affidavit was filed with the papers.
 Then the council adopted reso- lution accepting the plant and exonerating the bond of the con tractors, which completed the transaction, and the Town of No gales has now it's own municipal water system.

manent that injunction which is to be brought to hearing before the local court in Washington, in Oc- tober. Under the act of Congress making the grant, and under the evidence taken there is no doubt that the injunction will be dissol- ved. Then if there is taken an ap- peal to the Supreme Court of the United States the issue of patent will be hung up another six years. But if the claimants carry the matter no farther, the lands will he restored to entry and within very few months settlers along the Santa Cruz river, who have waited many years, will be given title to their land, and there will be added many thousand dollars to the tax roll of Santa Cruz county. At the same time there will be removed from the mining industry in the Santa Rita mountains an incubus which has prevented investment and hindered development. The gentleman who received the letter presented writes those with whom he is interested, in the Santa Rita mountains, that with the Baca Float out of the way he can raise one hundred thousand dollars for development within a month. And there are many others who are blocked by that same claim from getting capital for development of promising properties.

He reported that the location did not meet the stipulations of the act of Congress, in that at the time it was enacted the lands embraced were known at that time to be mineral in great part, and that other portions of the location were vered by conflicting claims alleged to have been granted by the Mexican government about the same time that Luis Maria Bsca secured his own grant of land. MT. Ingalls recommended rejection of the Baca Claim, and from his re-
 commendation the claimants ap- pealed to the Commissioner of the General Land Office at Washington; and that official sustained the sur. veyor general. Then the appeal was carried to the Secretary of the Interior, and after careful consid- eration of all the evidence submit ted the secretary sustained the surveyor general and the land of flee commissioner. The foregoing embraces "the records the govern ment relies upon" as set forth in the letter presented in this article.
 Following the decision of the Secretary of the Interior the gen. eral land office declared the lands involved restored to entry, and those who had made homestead entries, which had been suspended when the Baca claim was raised
 were invited to make final proof

Room OF the White

Washington. - Surrounded by his
amily and many leading Republicans
In the historic East Room of the
White House, President Taft received
from Senator Elihu Root, chairman Of
the committee of notification, his first
official information of his nomination
by the Republican National Conven-
ton at Chicago.
"Your title to the nomination Is as
clear and unimpeachable as the title
of any candidate since political con-
ventions began" said Senator Root in
his address.
I accept the nomination which you
tender" replied President Taft, be
ginning his speech of acceptance, "as
an expression of confidence that In q
second administration will serve the
public well"

which promised sapphire sky and
brought blizzard on the day Mr.. Taft
was inaugurated changed the plans Of
having the notification ceremonies on

gardens and a green slope toward the
Potomac, so the President and his
guests assembled in the East Room.

at Beverly. Miss Helen Taft and

TAFT's SPEECH.

Washington. - Although@Presid
gTaft's formal speech Of acceptance Of
the nomination defined in detail the
issues of the campaign as he saw
them, he reserved the right to amplify
his statements in letter as the cam
paign develops.
The supreme issue that confronts
the voters, the President declared,
was that of the maintenance of the
nations institutions and the preserva-
ton Of the Constitution, threatened, he
said on the one hand by the Demo
cratic party and on the other by
those Republicans who had left the
party to try their fortunes in new
one.
Next in Importance Mr.. Taft placed
the tariff. In the proposals of the
Democrats for reduction in the pres
ent schedules, he said, lay danger Of
business depressions and hard times.
The Republican principle of revision
only where scientific investigation
shows 1t necessary marked the
straight road to continued prosperity
and commercial peace.
In discussing the tariff the Prest,
dent said that it was untrue that to
its door could be traced the high cost
Of living, and pointed out that condf-
lions OF living were alike over the
world. A political promise could not

The Democratic members Of the

As an issue only less important than
tho tariff the President placed the
regulation of trusts. He said the
Sherman law had been enforced with
success. but added that specific acts
Of unfair trade should be denounced
as misdsmeanors that such acts
might be avoided, or when committed
punished by summary procedure. In
terstate business enterprise. he said,
should be offered Federal incorpora-
ton law.
Aside from these issues, the Presi-
dent pointed to the record Of the Re-
publican party and particularly dur
ing his own administration as an
earnest OF what it might be expected
to do in the future II the people re-
turned 1t to power in November. He
attacked the Democrats at other
points than the tariff, making special
reference to the refusal Of that party

on the beach outside the hotel. The
drum was in charge OF a blacksmith
and he beat 1t SO resonantly that at

ROOFS ADDRESS.

Washington Senator Elihu Root,
in his address to President Taft here
when, as chairman of the committee
of notification, he formally advised the
President of his nomination by the
Chicago Convention, said In part:
''The committee of notification"
said Senator Root, there present has
the honor to advise you formally that
on the 22d day of June last you were
regularly and duly nominated by the
National Convention OF the Republi-
can party to be the Republican candi-
date for the President for the term be-
ginning March 4, 1913.
For the second time in the history
of the Republican party a part of the
delegates have refused to be bound by
the action of the Convention. Now,
as on the former occasion, the irrec-
oncilable minority declares its inten-
ton to support either your Democratic
opponent or third candidate. The
reason assigned for this course is dis
satisfaction with the decision OF GER
tain contests in the making up of the
temporary roll of the Convention.
Those contests were decided by the
tribunal upon which the law that has
governed the Republican party for
more than 40 years imposed the duty
Of deciding such contests.
you have been nominated because
you stand pre-eminently for certain
fixed and essential principles which
the Republican party maintains. You
believe in the rule Of law rather than
the rule of men. You realize that the
only safety for nations, as for indi-
viduals, is to establish and abide by
declared principles of action You are
in sympathy with the great practical
rules of right conduct that the Ameri-
can people have set up for their own
guidance and self-restraint in the limi-
tations of the Constitution.
You know that to sweep away those
wise rules Of self-restraint would not
be progress but decadence. You know
that the great declarations OF princi-
pie in our Constitution cannot be made
an effectual guide to conduct in any
other way than by judicial judgment
upon attempts to violate them; and
you maintain the independence,
dignity and authority of the courts Of
the United States.
"In respect of all these things our
country is threatened from many
sides. 1t is your high privilege to be
the standard-bear for the cause in
which you believe; and in that cause
of peace and justice and liberty the
millions OF your countrymen, who be-
lieve as you do will stand with you,
and the great party which was born
in the struggle for constitutional free
dom will support YOU
