Its economical then becomes a matter of tho very first importance If by understanding its proper distribution one inch of water can bo mado to do whoro two aro now barely it behooves thoso in authority to bo up and doing. To uso water and not waste it is a scienco that daily clamors for recognition and which sooner or later must for tho well boing of tho arid regions, bo lccognizcd and bottor 'Water is golden and wo can no more affort to wasto it than our money, and jet itisbcingdono with unfailing regularity. Demonstrations to this end aro daily occurrences on tho Santa Cmz, whoro tho demand for the benign blessing- isgreat and tho supply limited. Heretofore the belief had been general that, tho Chinese gardeners in tho t alloy woio appropriating nore wator than was legitimately ? srf afi3& jmmmmmmmm&wm 5XM Sar"i' duo for tho acreage under x$lJiiilrrrtf tipn. nml comrfiiiints wcro repeat edly lodged against them. Thoir fields wcro always green where others aro baro. This called for investigation, and Mr. Billman, who has charge of tho Indian school farm in tho valloy and who was elected "Juez do Agua"somo months since, began a systematic measurement of tho supply, demand and distribution. To his great surpriso he distovored that tho Chineso gardeners, again whom so much complaint was mado, woro using less than half the wator per acre for their gardens than was boing used for ordinary ranching. Thus for tho month of March, Wing gardens about 21 1-4 seres, used tho water 28 hours, Wing Wo 22 acres of garden under cultivation, used tho wator 21 hrs. On the othor hand for tho same time, Hon. M. G. Samaniego, who farms to alfalfa and barloy29 acres ivas gi en 72 hours of wator; Lo-Andro Sais 18 1-2 acres, 25 hours; Kisters of St. Joseph 30 acres, 79 hours. Theso names and figures ro given merely as an, average in tho manner in which vratcr is used. In no ono instance was more water given than was auired by tho land. In fact, that of tho sisters was not sufficiently irrigated, and water from tho Alii-On canal was taken to comploto tho work. But whonco tho difference? From the figures givon it is evident that tho Chineso outclass Aineiicans and Moxicans in tho economical uso of wator. Thoir land is in proper shape to leceivo the water when it is turned on and tho most is mado of it. Not a drop is wasted. For crops that require twice or thrice as much water as that used In tho cultivation of alfalfa and barley, ono half to ono third is used. Theso aro facts that cannot lw conti overfed, and wo command them to tho attention not only of irrigators, but to all thinking men. -Citizen. m Within tho past few months six Brutes havo taken advorso action on 'thor woman's suffrage question Massachusetts, Now York, Now Hampshire, Kansas, South Dakota and California.

Mexico has evidently entered upon her international exposition project in earnest, and with the determination to raako it a success. A plot of somo GOO acres of land has been set asido for the site, which is close to the City of Mexico. About 200 to 300 acres are to bo devoted to oxhibits foreign to Mexico. Every facility in tho way of cheap (and in somo cases free) transportation is to bo afforded to foreign exhibitors. An especially cordial invitation has been extended to tho United States; and to tho several states and territories of tho Union, to make as fino exhibits as possible. It is promised that tho Mexican exhibit will bo second on ly to tho world's fair at Chicago, and there aro good reasons to that tho promise will bo kept. It Avill open April 2, 189G. A GARDEN SEED SCANDAL. It is well known that the Hon. J Sterling Morton, Secretary of Agri culture, is no admirer ol tho system of distributing garden seeds at public oxpenso, to tho constituents of Congressmen. Ho has discover ed that somo of them havo been selling tho seeds provided thein by tho Government for distribution among their constituents. He says ho has suspected this for a long time, but that ho sot on foot an investigation which convinced him that it was truo. If Congress considers tho matter sufficiently serious to order an investigation, tho information will no doubt bo forthcoming. In tho progress of tho investigation, it is likely that additional ovidonco will bo discovered. If tho names of tho offenders aro to bo mado public, which seems only right, it ought to bo at tho end of a thorough investigation. It is vory dcsirablo that all commercial nations should have tho same standards for reasons which wo will not now attempt to Wo aro not without a hopo that tho dopicssed condition of tho producers of wealth in all gold countries would induce Governments to hear and heed tho cry of distress. Tho most offectivo method of securing an ai monetary standard is lor tno tain tho coinage of both gold and silver at tho old ratio oflGtol. This Government cannot is justice to creditors and debtors mako any chango in tho relativo coinago val uo of tho metals. With or without a conference American statesmen should stand firm and unwavering and success is certain. A Woman and two men who posed in a Now York theatre in a covoring of bronzopaint,havo been arrested for outraging public decency. In spite of their plea that tho exhibition was purely artistic or as tho young woman expressed it, "art from tho ground up" tho wonder is that tho polico have delayed action so long. Thoy aro solely meant to gratify a taste for indoconcy, and aro vicious and demoralizing in every respect, moro harm has been dono tho stago by theso prurient exhibitions during tho past year than can bo counteracted by a generation of tho work of actors like Jefferson and Booth. Should there bo war botweon England and Franco it would bo over tho result of thoir desires for foreign aggrandisement, just as war between almost any modern European powors would bo. Lot tho United States study this lesson, mind its own business, bo satisfied with its own vast domain and avoid weakening its position and inviting international complications by stretching out its already full hands for foreign territory. It is not strango that several esteemed Kopublican contemporaries in tho South aro protesting against tho emigration of tho negroes to Liberia. If tho Southern blacks should leave tho eountry, Ko publican party in tho South would not bo big enough to cast a shad ow Courier-Journal. The Bimotallio Lcaguo of England, at a meoting held a few days ago appropriated j100,000 for the propogation of tho movement. Silver must again bo recognized as a money by tho world, and that too at no distant day. Even Freo Trado England is rapidly coming to that view of tho matter. NAVAJO COUNTY. Some Information Regarding tho Twelfth Arizona County. Navajo county is tho western half of Apache county, tho dividing lino running to tho oxtromo points of tho county, is four miles cast of Carrizo, on tho Atlantic & Pacfic, a station sixteen miles oast of Hol-brook. Tho now county includes Holbrook and Winslow on tho railroad, and "Woodruff, Snow Flake, Taylor, Show Low, and part of Fort Apacho, in fact all on tho road to tho fort, while on the oast aro tho present county soat, St. Johns, Springcrville, Pinedalo, Concho, Navajo Springs, otc. Tho old county had 1,370 votes registered. Tho poll of votes last fall shows 512 votes in that portion comprising Navajo, while 490 is croditcd to what is Apacho county now. South of Holbrook tho settlements aro almost wholly Mormon. Snow Fkko is credited with tho best privato buildings, "Winslow second. Properties for taxation will bo favorablo to Navajo so far as town valuations go.whilotho old county (what is left of it) will get most from tho railroad. On the eighth of April tho now and old boards of supervisors will meet to adjust matters as to indebtedness and valuations. Holbrook is named as the temporary county seat. By tho conditions of tho biil a registration will bo mado at once and a vote taken late m Juno as to tho county scat. Tho indebtedness of tho old county was 8100,000 on county bonds, 841,000 in territorial bonds. County tax, 3 1-2 cents.

Editor Guardian: Permit mo again to occupy a small amount of spaco in your valuablo paper to speak upon a subject of importance to tho peoplo of this valley. A few weoks ago somo of tho citizens of this vicinity idea of forming a co-op erative company for tho purpose of erecting a floul mill, to bo owned and operated by tho people, for the purpose of grinding tho people's grain. When this idea was first mado public it met with somo opposition. The question was asked, what necessity have wo for moro mills, havo wo not mills enough to grind all tho grain crop of tho valloy befoio another harvest will come around ? I would say, yes, wo have, and that would bo sufficient, if other conditions desired, wore equal to that. But, while thoso other conditions aro yet absent, thero exists an actual necessity for another flour mill. Now lot us look into this subject, and sco if this necessity docs exist. I can call to mind mill owners in the Territory of Utah, who havo run their mills on custom grain; whoso regular toll was ono tenth of all grain that they ground, and out of this tenth they paid their millers fair, living wages and mado a liberal piofit on their investment, when grain was no higher than it is in this valloy at tho present prices. What does the farmer have to pay for grinding his grain hero in Arizona? In Graham county tho farmer takes a load of grain to tho mill, it is put on tho scales weighed, them sampled or docked, on an average of about 5 per cent, is deducted for waste, then he pays 35 cents per hundred pounds to havo it ground. Tho mill owner will then give him 00 pounds of good flour (where tho mill is able to mako good flour) and 40 pounds of bran and shorts; these amounts return tho one hundred pounds back to tho grain owner, less the dockago. Take notice now, the farmer has paid 35 cents for grinding that hundred pounds of wheat, His grain has been docked enough to mako it clean and puro and fit for the rollers. Tho grain is ground, 6-10 in flour, 4-10 in bran and shorts arc given to tho grain owner. Is this all ho should got? It may bo in weight but not in valve. Seventy pounds of good flour for each hundred pounds of good wheat is a fair average to count upon and this should be, of tho best quality of flour. If a lower grade of flour is put in it should then bo more than 70 pounds. But wo only get 00 pounds, then tho mill owner keeps 10 pounds of our best flour and iS tho difference between flour and bran? JFlour is worth from 2 1-2 to 3 cents and bran is worth 3-1 to 1 cent per pound, thus making a diffcronoo of a litllo over 1 3-i cts. on overy pound, or on ovory ten pounds of flour a difference of from 17 to 20 cents in favor of tho mill owner, add this to the 35 cents paid for grinding the hundred pounds of wheat, and the little advantage of tho dockago that may como to tho mill owner, and you will find tho grain owner has paid a little over 50 cents for grinding his hundred pounds of wheat. These calculations may bo disputed by some parties as being incorrect, but in this regard I wish to say that 1 am not speaking ft om hearsaj", for I havo been connected with tho flour mill business for 25 years past, and know about what proportion of flour can bo mado from wheat, both in Arizona and Utah, and I can base these calculations on tho judgement of old mill manufacturers of tho cast. There is also another way for the farmer to pay for tho grinding of his grain by allowing tho mill owner to take 20 pounds of wheat out of each 100 pounds, thereby 20 pounds is paying for tho grinding of 80 pounds, this is moro expensive than it would bo to pay 35 cts for tho 20 pounds of wheat. Tho present rato of grinding would bring the grain owner 12 pounds of flour and 8 pounds of bran and shorts; this would count in value from 30 to 44 cents, and outside of this he would bo losing at tho same ratio by not getting the full amount of flour from his 80 pounds of wheat. In cither way tho farmer is paying an enormous price for tho grinding of his grain. After understanding things in this light, will any man who pro duces grain from the soil of the Gila Valloy, say thero is not a necessity for another mill, to bo owned and operated by tho farmers and laboiing classes. Therefore, wo invito all who feel they are or havo been oppressed, to cast in their humblo mito and take slock in tho institution that aims at their welfare. Very respectfully, A Perkins. Once in awhile somo alleged writer of the Arizona press who has graduated from a section crow and writes English with a crowbar contemptuously refers to the "tenderfoot press" of tho territory. If thero wore a few moro entcrprizing tenderfoot on tho newspapers of Arizona, their subscribers would welcome tho change.
