ASk LIMITING RESERVATION
Vigorous Protests Register ed Against Inflicting the Papago Indian Reserve on 40 Per Cent of Pima Coun- tvs Lands

Letters of protest went forward yes terday from the Chamber of Commerce to the Arizona delegation in congress. against the proposed Papago Indian reservation in Pima, Maricopa and Pi- nal counties. New and stronger argu- ments are urged to turn the Indian service from its plan to withdraw 40 per cent of Pima county and a num- her of tracts in Maricopa and Pinal. One of the pleas is that not only does the big Indian reserve deprive the county in which it is located of val uable assets. but it often interrupts communication. The case of the White Mountain reservation, through which the Ocean-t to- Ocean highway passes, is cited. It is impossible to get roads built through reserves. to hook up with state and county built highways.
 It is proposed by Tucson and Phoe- nix chambers of commerce that if it is not possible to have the reservation order vacated, il may be found possible to reduce the size of the withdrawal. In this latter event, the reservation would not intrude in either Pinal or Aiaricopa, but would be confined to re- duced limits in Pima county

There will be such many of citizens will not behold again until they aroused by Gabriers trumpet and come forth from their graves rubbing their eyes and wondering the of the turmoil incident to the resurrection. All the hitherto recognized democrats, their wives and little ones will be the primaries All the republi cans with their dependents will be there. Apaches Navajos Moqus Pimas and Papagoes, Wallapas and Yumas will be there and the Hops. In order that the vote may reach the aggregate figures which have been given out by the Hunt and Olney managers the right of suffrage will have be extended to the cattle a thousand hills and the sheep whose beatings less paintive than will be those of the faction the primaries whose figures fall fatally short of est mates and expectations.

It Is Not Siqnificant

Some of our democratic friends are drawing much more comfort than the situation warrants from the action of the progressive party in Colorado in 1using to endorse the nomination of MT Hughes for the presidency. That does not mean that the party in Colorado is opposed to Mir. Hughes On the especially stated in the Associated Press dispatch describing the action of the progressves that it meant that each member of the party make for himself his choice between Mir. Hughes and MT Wilson. This is the action that the progressive party in every should if it any all In has been taken is likely to be taken In Arizona, believe there will be none. Former republican members of the party will almost unanimously for Mir Hughes. Many former democratic members of the party have declared their intention of voting for MT Hughes but doubt less the great bulk of former democratic members will for Mir Wilson.
 It would be neither wise proper for progress sive organizations bind attempt to bind their members to support either of candidates for the presidency That has been attempted by any of the progressive leaders anywhere MT. Roosevelt the acknowledged leader of the party has made such attempt In his the national progressive committee he only declared that he going support MT. Hughes and he stated why. He made call upon his party follow him, though he gave why all Americans should take the he proposed to take.
 Other eminent leaders of the party have made declarations but only for themselves. Most of them have announced their purpose support Mir. Hughes Others in all cases former democrats, have empha tically declared that they going for MT Wilson. We suppose that per of the pro- gressive will be cast for MT. Wilson. In the southern states the progressive membership drawn largely from the democratic party. which it may be expected this year and increase the democratic majorities in those states In the northern only very small part of the progress sve membership had been democratic
 The progressive party formed of several ele- There long standing dissatisfaction within the republican party with the leadership of the party. That dissatisfaction became intense in the last two years MT. Taft's administration. It cuminated in the of the republican national convention of 1912. There also dissatisfaction within democratic in the south and in other where strong machine rule had disregarded the will of the people The dissatisfied naturally looked the new party under the leadership of MT. Roose- welt for relief But in such states local rather than national relief was desired and naturally it states that disappointment keenly felt when this year the activities progressive party suspended
 The national republican platform and MT Hughes meet generally demands of progressives who looked only national relief, but the suspension progressive effort in such Louisiana and Texas in the south such Colorado in the north leaves political conditions unchanged and for the time delays those reforms which it believed could only through progressive organ ization.

BRIDGE BUILDING
 JUST LIKE BORDER
County Engineer Has His Troubles With Sun and Lack of Water All /
 Same Troops on Border.

The trials and the tribulations of the soldiers at the front have nothing on the engineers building the cutoff road to Prescott, according to County Engineer Harold Bargman.
 It's the same old sun that shines down on the border and it's just as hot, but the real source of discomfort is the fact that water must be hauled eighteen miles. Despite the trying con- ditions under which the big piece of work is being constructed it is fast gaining headway.
 The bridge over the Arizona canal at lateral l6 will be open to traffic today. This bridge is the start of the road now under construction, four miles of which have already been completed. A camp is to be established in the hills while the remainder of the road work is being done.
 We expect to have the cutoff fin ished by the middle of August" said Bargman yesterday.

As to M otives
ization.

The defense in the of Orpet. the Madison, Wisconsin university student accused of the murder of girl by of poison is relying, it appears the absence of a motives for such crime. In that several things involved the death of the girl being only the eliminating incident. There the journey of Orpet to meet her; there alibi letters written by him intended to show that at the time of his absence he absent. There attempt to deceive his landlady by leaving his in such condition that it would appear that he had occupied it the night of his absence from it. All these attempts deception by Orpet have been confessed by him, that these incidents pre- cedng the poisoning of the girl it became for the show motive.
 But one volunteered by the defense. It took these precautions against discovery of his ab he had left Madison that night. It unlikely they would have learned of his absence from the university from any information that would develop at Madison. Nobody there would be sufficiently cerned in an apparently trivial affair inform them.
 The only risk of discovery was in his appearance the place of girls death in the vicinity of his parents home and it the premises of that home that he actually spent the night.
 It is reasonable to suppose that one chief motive inspired every movement made by orpet from the time left his lodging house in Madison until he returned to it after the tragedy This motive may not have been commit murder but whatever it was 1t the motive to conceal his relations with the unfortunate girl, and murder, according to the calculations of her murderer if she murdered would have effected such concealment.
