Riley's Column

Robert Ripley. creator of the Be-
lieve-it-or-Not squib, has already
said that Coolidge, Arizona is the
fastest growing town of its size
in the United States, but he ne
elected to give other reasons why
we merit to make his page. Coo
lidge is thought TO be the largest
agricultural town in the United
States that is unincorporated, and
altho it boasts of better than three
thousand people in the city proper,
IL does not have a swimming pool,
a fire department or protection, II
does not have a cemetary, nor does
il have a dentist, and this is not
because their teeth don't need pull
ing: they just go to Florence or
Casa Grande. We are hot proud Of
these things, we just feel that at
tention should be called TO them in
order to spur us TO greater efforts
Cole and Maude of Florence are
planning to build a Mortuary in
Coolidge this fall. which is most

Arizona Lumber
Mills Are Buster

Lumber mills of Arizona incrcas-
ed their output by 234 per cent in
1896 as compared with the previous
year, according to census figures
just received at the Tonto National
Forest office. The figures are pre-
liminary ones, based on the icint
census recently conducted in the
Southwestern nRegion by the Forest
Service and the Bureau of the
Census.
The 35 active mills IN Arizona re
ported a total cut of 123, All 900
board feet of lumber in 1886. which
was an increase of 23,41O 900 over
the cut of 100, ,OO1 900 feet in 1895.
The SO active mills in New Mexi-
co reported a total production in
1896 of 139, SAG. 900 feet, an increase
of 1915 per cent or 13,452, 900 over
the previous years total of 126. 1884, :
900 feet.
Combined cut for the two states
jumped 1873 per cent. or 6,S62, 600
feet. Total production climbed from
22s 1896 900 to 263 ,257 900 feet.
That production. it is estimated
by Forest Service officials, provid-
ed employment of not less than
79O 900 man-days of labor. or the
equivalent of years work for $3.50
men in the woods and manufactur-
ing plants of both states.

Everyman's Right


Thirty-five years ago. there was
serious coal strike. President
Theodore Roosevelt appointed Il
special Commission to settle it. The
following extract from that Com
missions report is as pertinent
now as it was then:
"The right to remain at WORK
where others have ceased to work,
or to engage anew in work which
others have abandoned, is part of
the personal liberty of a citizen
that can never be surrendered.
"All government implies re
straint, and it is not less, but more,
necessary in self-governed COM
munities than in others, to compel
restraint of the passions of men
which make for disorder and law
lessness. Our language is the
language of a free people. and fails
to furnish any form Of speech by
which the right of a citizen to work
when he pleases. for whom he
pleases, and on what terms he
pleases. can be successfully denied.
"The common sense of our peo-
pie. as well as the common law,
forbids that this right should be as
sailed with impunity. Approval OF
the object of a strike, or persuasion
that it's purpose is high and noble,
cannot sanction an attempt to de-
stroy the right of others to dif-
ferent opinion in this respect, or
to interfere with their conduct IN
choosing to work upon what terms
and at what time and for whom it
may please them to do so.
"The right thus to work cannot
be made to depend upon the ap-
proval or disapproval of the person
al character and conduct Of those
who claim to exercise this right Ii
this were otherwise, then those VINO
remain at work, might if they were
in the majority, have both the right
and power to prevent the others,
I who choose to cease to work, from
so doing.
"This all seems too plain for
argument. Common sense and com
mon law alike denounce the conduct
of those who interfere with this
fundamental right of the citizen
The assertion of the right seems
trite and commonplace, but that
land is blessed where the maXlms
of liberty are commonplaces."

for non payment. Since the cleo
tion of May p the sentiment or
the Indians has changed and it ap-
pears they are now favorable to
Superintendent Robinson's plan for
payment Of their water charges out
of returns from the Tribal land
farming operations.
While water had to be turled
out of the bitches and refused Tcr
irrigation purposes to those IndianS
who have not paid or who will not
pay their water assessments
water viii continue to be delivered
10 Indian farms for stock water
purposes and to trivial lands fos
irrigation purpose.
Pima Indians are farming about
%. 900 acres of land under the San
Carlos Protest and in addition tine
Agency at Sacaton is handling the
irrigation and cropping of 1900
acres of tribal land which has heea
recently leveled and seeded to alfal-
ia. This land will eventually be
farmed by individual Indians.
Water assessments AGAINST the
land of individual Indians this wear
are $50 per acre which provides
for the deliver Of 2 acre feet per
acre. Additional water can be pur-
chased at the rate of 80 cents per
acre foot for the 3rd acre foot per
acre and at S1.00 per acre foot Tor
all water used in excess of 3 acre
feet per acre. Such Indians as are
financially unable to make cash
payment for their water are given
a chance 10 work for the govern
taent to earn the amount needed
for water payment. Those unable
10 work or pay are to have water
delivered without payment. Tfose
who make the proper arrange
ments for getting water will he
served as soon as such arrange
ments are made at the Agency Of
flee at Sacaton.
1t is expected that this mat.Cr
will be worked out at an early date
and that no loss of crop will result.
Pima Indians have been noted fer
their agricultural accomplishments
and for their cooperation with the
government departments. 1t is be-
lieved that they will help bring this
matter to a satisfactory conclusion
The matter became of such inn
portance that Commissioner JCfn
Collier visited the reservation On
May 20, and made talk to mass
meeting of Pima Indians, urging
them to accept the plan approved
bv their Tribal Council

Experiments
In Fertilizers

Farmers in ten Arizona counties
have an opportunity to see the ef-
feet Of commercial fertilizers on
some crop in their county this year.
says Roy . Westley, University of
Arizona agricultural extension serv-
ice specialist in agronomy and ir-
rigation practice.
Experiments are being conducted
by the experiment station, the ex-
tension service, and cooperating
farmers in Arizona to determine the
value of turning under barnyard
manure, the plowing under of a
green growth of crops, and the ap-
plication of various amounts of diff
ferent commercial fertilizers. These
tests will attempt to show which
kind of fertilizer is best for certain
crops, to determine the most eco
nomical amount of commercial
fertilizer to apply per acre, and TO
show just when the applications are
most effective-before planting,
after the crop is up. or as side
dressing after the plants are about
half grown.
In the Salt River valley large
amounts of commercial fertilizers
have been used on truck crops,
such as head lettuce, and farmers
are interested in the effect of this
fertility on the following crop which
may be barley, wheat, cotton, or
maize.
Fertilizer tests have been carried
on for two or three years in Yuma
and Maricopa counties. Cotton has
not responded to the application OF
fertilizers in certain parts OF the
state. but more extensive tests are
being made this year. Wesley
points out that one interesting re-
suit was that one two-yeaT eApeIl-
ment showed a carry-over into the
second year of some commercial
fertilizers, while other fertilizers
were not available TO plants after
the first year.
Definite tests are being conduct
ed in 1887 in Apache. Coconino,
Graham, Greenlee, Maricopa. Ma
vajo, Pima, Pinal, Yavapai, and
Yuma counties. Farmers In thest
counties are urged TO get in touch
with their county agents 10 see as
many of these test plots as possible,
Westley said.

NON PAYMENT
OF IRRIGATION
WATER TURED
OFF BY GOVT.

A telegram was received at The
Coolidge office Of the San Carlos
project on the afternoon of the Both
instructing Project Engineer Mocdy
to shu. off water at midnight from
the land OF individual Indians who
have not paid their water aassfss-
ments. The telegram also expla IS
that this condition will hold until
it is known whether legislation is
passed by Congress to provide for
the delivery of water for irrigation
during the year 1887 becomes a law.
BY ruling OF the Department In
dian landowners of the San Carlof
project were allowed three years
the issuance of public notice of
construction costs, before they
would be called on to begin pay
ment of annual operation and
maintenance charges covering the
delivery of water to their lands. The
three years of grace has expired
and payments were to begin t.is
year. Indians thru their Tribal
Council protested the beginning Of
payments and contended that since
water had been kept from them by
the white man for many years be
fore the government constructed
and operated their irrigation
system. they should have an equal
number of years without payment
for the water. On account of tie
strong protest by the Indians and
their refusal to pay, Supertintend-
ent Robinson who is in charge oil
the ella River Reservation, made
a plan that the approval of the
Tribal Council and of the Commis-
sioner of Indian affairs to the re-
turns from farming Indian Tribal
lands to pay the o and M charges
for the land of individual Indians
for the season of 1897.
This plan which also had the ap-
proval of the Secretary of the In
terror was protested by large
number Of Pima Indians and it Nas
necessary to call an election of the
entire tribe to decide whether the
action of the Tribal Council world
hold or be reversed. The election
was held on May % anil resulted in
the plan being turned down by a
vote of 718 to 296.
Feeling that there was a mis-
understanding of the entire matter
by the Indians and some misreDrt-
sentation by certain persons of in
fluence among the Indians the
Tribal Council and Superintendent
Robinson have recently been try
ing to work the matter out without
being obliged to shut the water off
