The canal needs a thorough cleaning out, and to be placed in a condition to carry sufficient water to irrigate the farming foods. If the canal was only given its carrying capacity the reser- voir would soon be filled and there would be no scarity of water. ANECDOTES OF A GREAT SOLDIER.

A Kabb Militabt Genius. Lord Wolseley, Commander of the English Army, and General W'. T. Sherman, have said that had General Not A Speculation Commodity. U'romthe Yuma Sentinel.) The lime has gone by in the West for irrigation water to be used as a commodity for speculation.

In the early days the title to water supply or the prospect of getting it was used as a means to enhance values and in many cases to sell land to strangers themselves eager to invest; bnt now water is needed to legitimately irrigate land so that it will yield lis products whicli must he sold in the face of constantly increasing competition. Water, therefore, should be no longer used 'as a speculative medium. It should be made available to the con sumer at inc. actual cost or me construction anfl operation of the necessary distribution works, and without cost for reservoir storage. It has been generally demonstrated, during the past tea years, that there is but little profit iu private storage enterprises, for, while the advantage to the community is great, the owners of the plant do not reap the full benefit.

The Bedford Forreit received a military education he would have been practicable and fair method and the The Board of Supervisors nf Pinal county have at last come to the conclusion that the roads and highways in the county need improving, and have commenced the work in earnest. A contract has been let to repair and improve the Riverside read, and others should follow. Florence undoubtedly looses considerable trade on -account of poor roads leading to it and other places in the county. The road to Mineral Creek should be improved and put in better condition for heavy freight, also the road to Silver King and mining camps north of the river, the rocds to Mammoth and Schultz ought to be put in better condition with an effort to receive some of the trade from those important mining camps. The road from Florence to Casa Grande could be greatly improved, then there would be do necess-: ity for a change to Ked Rock or Pecacho.

The wagon bridge across the river at Florence should be put in repair or else taken down and put some where else, it serves no useful purpose here. the greatest figure of the civil war After reading the biography of the celebrated Confederate cavalry leader, which has been written by Dr. John A. Wyetb, and which is to be published shortly by Harper Brothers, it is easy to understand why Forrest should be so esteemed by all who are best qualified to juege. General Forrest was keenly appreciative of the necessity of giving his personal attention to the smallest details connected with his military op-orations in ordes to achieve success.

He was not content to accept reports from even his most trusted and faithful subordinates, but he made careful inspection of his artillery, the harness, and the condition of the animals as well as the men, and his officers strictly accountable for keeping his command supplied with ammunition, forage, and rations. Nothing seemed to escape his careful scrutiny. When on the march, which usually began at only one which will be absolutely successful is the building of reservoirs by either the General or State Governments, with the free use of the waters stored to the land-owners. The proposition is exactly similar to that in which the public has the free use of aud benefit from the improvements made by. the Government on some harbor, the dredging of some river for navigation, or the establishment of some light-house or danger signal.

If in The mining interests of Pinal county were never in a more flourishing con--dit'on than they are to-day. The demand for copper has created a phenom-inal demand for copper mines, wonderful developments and discoveries are "being made almost daily, Mineral Creek is a seen of activity. The Ray, Ennis, and other properties are being actively developed and with the coming of the cool months we may look to -see one of the most active camps in southern Arizona.

Good properties are in demand, this week the copper mines of John Harris, W. R. Stone and James McGee have been bonded to Mr. Chittenden cf Washington, D. also the copper properties of Judge John Miller, Geo.

II. Sarrick and Joseph Mulhatton, these properties are all in the Mineral Creek mining district and near Florence. Thos. F. Weedin is developing his copper property near the Owl Heads, and reports important discoveries.

In fact from every part of the county comes reports of important discoveries, as a matter of fact Pinal county has been the banner mining county of the Territory, its mineral resources are second to none, its great mines like the Silver King, Vekol, Mammoth, Rey-mert are among the best in the west, and good mines will be deyelopsd near the Bnttes, where active operations are now oeing camea on. travagant she dreams of going to Europe. One of life's greatest problems is this: Do people get stout because they are lazy, or a re they lazy because they are stout? The Prescott Pick and Driil says: Governor Myron H. McCord has been selected by Mayor Ganz, of Phoenix, to represent Arizona in the forthcoming Irrigation Congress. The Mayor has made an excellent appointment, the best yet made from this Territory, as the Governor is beyond question the people's champion in the cause of national irrigation.

Colonel McCord was the first to espouse the cause of the people against the scheming land-sharks, whose aim is to gobble up the lands, should they be ceded to the Ter ritory. Arizona and New Mexico are to be congratulated, as by the selection of Colonel McCord they have secured a valiout knight who will champion their cause, and fight to the bitter end for the home-seeker against the would-ba land-grabbing thieves. We all know it to be true, were tlie public lands ceded to the states and territories, that before one could say "robbiug scheme" with the mouth 4ipeu, the schemers will have gobbled up each and every blessed one of the lands so ceded, through the medium of corrupt und corruptible legislators UdOl executives.

"The Imperial policy demands an increase of men in thestandiusarmy, Anarmy of 75,000 will cost the people not less than $100,000,000 a year.

His quick eye readily detected a lame or tender-footed animal, or one that did not seem to be well fed or properly cared for. A veteran of Forrest's command informed tha writer that on one occasion the general ordered him to leave the ranks, remarking: "Why do you let your horse's back get sore 7 Take your saddle off and let me see what's the matter." On exposing the animal's back it was found to be chafed. Forrest reprimanded him, and dismounted to give him a practical lesson in the manner of rolling the blanket so that the pressure would be taken from the abraded surface. As he rode away, the general remarked "You must never again let me see you riding a horse with a sore oack there is no need of it." A few days later the general recognized the same trooper, and also noticed that he had not fixed the blanket as he had been instructed, and, narrating the circumstance, the trooper said: "I did not get off so easily that time.

The general gave me hell, but it taught me a lesson I never forgot." The precautions he took for the com fort and safety of his men were fully appreciateJ, and formed one of the strong bonds of attachment between the soldiers aud their cjommander. When they bivouacked for the night, in proximity to the enemy, he never rested until he saw in person that the pickets were properly posted, aud that experienced and reliable men were detailed for important duties. His men felt the most implicit reliance in this watchful care of themselves. A lieutenant of the escort said: "We had that confidence in him which I imagine the Old Guard had in Napolean. On one occasion, while we were supposed to be in a very dangerous position, with the enemy all about us, we were ordered to go into camp for the night.

J. C. AVER. Loweu, UUC. II hi The Courier believes that it would be a good idea for every board of supervisors in Arizona, as the direct representatives of the people, to pass a resolution in favor of the reclamation of the arid lands by the general government and against the cession of such lands to the state3 and territories.

Let the government reclaim tne lands and allow settlers to take them up under general government laws and patent them, when the lands would be-a part and parcel of the taxable wealth of the local government. These resolutions, by the various boards of supervisors, could be forwarded to Guy E.

The notice has also thisstartlingly amusing announcement: "Said defalcation occurred since April 1, 1809." Such a statement must cheer the gloom in the prisoner's cell.

It is made through sublime ignorance or in an effort to shield the other county officials (the board and district attprney) from public censure for their inexcusable carelessness and gross neglect of duty. That's what we said. These officials ought to stand their proportion of the loss.

Hanr.a Is an Issue. Washington, Sept. 8. Democratic politicians back from Ohio talk confid ently in retrard to John It. McLean's chances for election in November.

There is a feeling even among con servative leaders that the platform and cauditate of the Zunesville convention will prove more popular as the com paign progresses, and that the Repub lican party in Ohio this year will have more than it can do to defeat the Demo cratic nominee. Mr. McLean's supporters base their hopes for success upon quite reasonable grounds. They say that the Hanna regime is still an issue among Ohio Republicans, and that there are no less than 100,000 voters of that party who would not be at all Sorry if McLean should win. Of these, 100,000 Repub lican, who are said to be opposed to Mr.
