DOG SMUGGLING IN ENGLAND

Smuggling dogs into England from abroad is quite recognized industry, and well organiz- ed. remarked customs officers Dover the other day P. Doubeyou. There a Calais, Di- cope and other Continental ports who will guaran- to get dog across in England that may be agreed upon
 Their charges range high, 20 h. 50 h., according the size and breed of the animal, put wealthy dog lovers do not mind paying generously in order to spare their pets the ignominy of having to undergo three months quarantine. and them selves the discomfort of being separated from them during all that long period.
 Of course there also people who try to smuggle their dogs "on their own" They usually women, and may say that they very rarely succeed.
 The big bag muffs popular the usual receptaces for small toy dogs. Only the other day I had my suspicious aroused by the exceed ingly careful way well dressed lady passenger was carrying of these down the gangway from of the channel mail steamers. Pretending to stumble l grabbed the huff fairly hard, and. as expected, yelp omitted from inside. The lady dog smuggler had to pay about ID. fine and costs, and her pet into quarantine after all.
 Toy bulls the easiest dogs to smugge because they never bark We once found one of this particular breed the bottom of big Saratoga trunk beneath pile of costly dresses. It had ev dently suffered considerably from it's prolonged confinement in fact, it half suffocated yet it uttered sound.

The Water Users Clear Sky

Every cloud has been removed from the horizon of the water users under the Salt River project. Every favorable condition for which the most eX- acting could have asked has been granted. An eX- tension of time for repayment for the project is to be allowed on liberal terms than any water user had suggested They have been so arranged as to constitute the slightest possible burden So small will the earlier payments be that it may be that they will be no burden all but may be met by receipts from the sale of power.
 While the time for opening the project has not been fixed and will not be fixed until the proposed legislation has been enacted it is at all prob able that the project will be opened before October of next year and. perhaps, before January l, 1916.
 The proposed legislation removes the troubles of the homesteader who d weeks had good reason to be perturbed. It will allow him years after his land has gone patent and, at any rate, liberal time after the project is opened to reduce his holdings the which may be fixed by the in eror department. Likewise. owners of excess hold ngs will be given ample time to dispose Of then
 Nothing stands in the way between the Salt River valley farmer and prosperity unless it is something of his own creation. His government has been liberal to him beyond his eXtravagant expectation Secretary Lane has again proved his warm sympathy with the struggler with the desert. It needed only that the conditions to be met be ably presented him by representatives in con gress and the representatives of the Water Users Association

 The development of the big department store has put many d corner grocery of business and many small shops, but the public has been bene- fitted, and say that development which benefits the public is not good thing, whatever may be the effect of it upon the few.

Their tools in congress at first denied the right of the government to engage in compet- ton with them-the argument precisely the that offered by the small expressmen of Boston.

Phoenix and the Salt River Valley jealous of the great agricultural region yet be- lying under the San Carlos dam; that when that country should bloom under the influence of abundant snuppy, it would be a formidable competitor Salt River valley could sell alfalfa grain and other products the soil cheaper.
 We should be sorry if this antagonistic spirit prevalent among the settlers in the Pinal county valleys We know it is prevalent here; that far-seeng farmer business of this valley looks with apprehension the time when every of land in Pinal county that may be reached by water is under cultivation On the trary. wish that that It would be better for Phoenix and better for this valley
 We suppose there short sighted peo pie here who, like the speakers to whom have petition with every other acre of land; some who believe that if their neighbors in this valley not engaged in the raising of alfalfa, they could get more for what they raise,
 What of Arizona need is cultivated land and less. If there only 10000 of land in the Salt River valley instead of nearly 100000 it would be worth nearly much an it is There would be Phoenix, railroad, little market for the products of the soil. It is the great body of the land have that gives it's value per It is that that has given investors faith in the future. All Arizona has little cultivated land. If there more, there would be railroads and better markets for all of us.
 The lands of Pnal ny could be in harmful competition with the lands of the Salt River valley than the newly reclaimed lands under the Western canal and the High-ne canal are in harm ful competition with those this side of the river
 We have all been benftted by the reclamation of those lands, being benefited by the bringing in of the lands beyond Mesa to the very Pinal county line. In perhaps lesser degree will be benefited by the reclamation of the lands about Florence and in the Casa Grande valley, and those lands will have greater value by of the existence the Salt River valley.
