LAND OFFICE
 HALF CHANGED
Col. Weedin Today Enters Upon Duties of Receiver. Register J. J. Birdno Will Probably Not Be Installed Until Monday

The change in the Phoenix land of flee was only half effected yesterday when Col. Thomas F. Weedin sue ceeded Frank II. Parker as receiver. There was some hitch in the bond of J J. Birdno, the register and he will probably not succeed Charles F. Ar hold before next Monday. Col Weedin secured his bond from the Washing ton office of a surety company and it was at once approved and filed in the general land office. The bond of Mir BirdnO was procured from the San Francisco office of the same company so that there was some delay in the filing of it
 Col Weedin will enter upon his duties today and MT. Parker becomes a private citizen after several years of varied official duties. He was for some time secretary of the capitol cOmmis- sion and after that. for six years was a member of the territorial board of equalization. until his appointment in 1908 by President Roosevelt receiver of the land office at the time that Mir Arnold was appointed register.
 During their administration the land office has transacted the greatest vol tune of business. reaching the serial number of 23.OOO from the serial num- Der 17OO in 1908. Within the last five years more than 2O,OOO applications and entries have been made. NOtwith- standing the great volume of business the office has kept abreast of it so that when it was turned over every thing had been brought up to date
 Speaking of his service. Mir Parker said yesterday that it had been most pleasant. He and his colleague Mir Arnold had tried to treat the public fairly and with courtesy and the pub lie had repaid in kind. Their relations with the various commissioners had been most pleasant. It is something of a coincidence that MT. Parker retired from the office on the twenty fifth an niversary of the day of his arrival in Phoenix. He has had few vacations during his official life but he will be- gin taking one early next week when he will go to the coast for a couple of weeks. He desires it to be understood though, that he is not going for rest but for recreation.
 Col. Weedin now becomes an off Cial for the first time since seventeen years ago when he quit the office of clerk of the United States court at Florence, which position he held under the second Cleveland administration Since then he has devoted himself to the upbuiding of Pinal county and at the same time. to the development of the Blade Tribune.

Refugees at San Dieqo.

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 7-There were animated scenes at the quarantine sta tion today while 500 Mexican regurees and prisoners who wera brought here yesterday from Fl PasO and No gales were being transported to the naval reservation joining station and just below Fort Rosecrans. From morning until night two little govern ment steamers made trips from the city to the quarantine where the Mexi- cans disembarked and were placed in the detention house. There was no diff fiCulty in handling the sorry looking lot, for all were dOCile and went wher- ever directed by the soldiers in charge. Inside the bull pen, just back of the quarantine, which is a temporary camp. soldiers were busy from early morning erecting army tents and un- loading baggage. The women and children were first taken to the sia- tiOn. Twice after landing al the quar- antine wharf the refugees were checked off The Mexican men left all the hard work of the camp making to the women. The latter toiled patiently while the men sauntered about puffing cigarettes.
 Occasionally an American soldier would halt one of those lazy fellows point to a big bundle and sign to him to pick it up. With a reproachful look he would comply reluctantly. But this was an exceptional incident. Not more than one man out of ten carried any thing; not one woman out of ten had hands empty. About every other wo- man had a baby in one arm, or sIunG over her hip The other arm was load
  The refugees also brought with them dogs, rabbits and chickens. to say nOth ing of parrots and canaries. The cloth ing of the women were much the worse for wear and dirt. The little attire Oi the men indicate they are soldiers.

The Waterloo Courier believes that
every city in the land not situated on
high ground or we'll distant from rivers
should profit by the fearful lesson en-
forced so terribly in the Ohio river
region last week. A town upon low
ground, It says, may escape real flood
conditions many years but to neglect
to provide against emergency is to
gamble with fate for life and property.
The rush of waters may wait quar-
ter of a century 1t may come next
year. The Courier proposes sea walls
at least three feet above the Waterloo
streets as protection against floods in
the Cedar river, which divides that
town practically in the center, and
whose channel has been encroached
upon by buildings until the water no
longer has its natural means of flow

MAN TAUGHT HUMILITY.

Chicago Inter Ocean: This Is an

He need fear no other living crea-

weapons with which he may overcome
them all. He pierces mountains and
links oceans. He spans the floods and
harnesses their power. He tears the
thunderbolt from the heavens and com
pels 1t to bear his messages over lands
and under seas and through the view

deer, dive with the fishes In the waters
and soar with the birds above the
clouds.
Is not man in very deed the lord Of
creation!
Then there comes a day when a
black cloud appears on the horizon
and sweeps down upon his towns and
cities. And the novels Of the poor and
the mansions Of the rich, with the pal

AND THE PANAMA CANAL

0EAII n Anu NE PANA"N SNtNO.
In a recent address at Johns Hopkins
university, Col. VIM. Gorgas. chief
sanitary ohicer of the isthmian canal
commission, showed why America
succeeded in building the Panama
canal where France failed. 1t was
NJ because we had more money, bet
te men or better tools, he said, but
It vas because the French died so
fast that they could not make any
progress. He explained that the
French, with an average force OF TO-
600 employees, lost from death during
their construction period $4,000 men.
We, with an average force of $4,000
men during about the same length OF
time, have lost from death 1000. The
French, with an average Of 10000 white
employees, lost during their construc-
ton period from yellow fever 1000
men. We, with an average of 5000
white employees during the same length
OF time, have lost from yellow fever
only eighteen.
Col. Gorgas says that the important
question, however, is the health of the
American employees. During the year
1911. he said, we had 10,489 Ameri-
can whites connected with the COM
mission. Their death-rate from disease
was 4.4S per thousand. OF these TO-
4S9 Americans, 6,025 were men and
4,464 women and children. The death
rate from disease among the men
was 2.s2 per thousend. That among
the women and children from the same
cause was 6.72 per thousand.
Speaking Of the condition of Ameri-
cans now In the canal zone, Col.
Gorgas said: II think still better way
Of satisfying oneself with regard to
health conditions is direct observation
OF the American employees. They as
q class are rugged and healthy boxing,
Of good color, and energetic and active
in movement. They look more like the
farmer and his family of the north
west than like people who have lived
In the tropics for, four or five years"
Medical science has paid as great
a part as engineering science In the
building Of the canal. The French
relied alone on It's engineers. This
government fought successful battle
with the disease breeding conditions
in the isthmus before the engineers
were set to work on their giant task.
