Prospecting for Bed Rock Once. r' - - M " From the Phoenix RepubHean.1 Mr. Arthur P. Davis, hydrograpUer of the United States geological survey, arrived here yesterday morniag on the train from the tiorth and Is reg; istered at the Hotel Adams. His com ing has been so frequently refnrred to oi late that it is unnecessary to go in to details as to his mission, which is to inaugurate the work of exploring for bed rock on the various dam sites in the valley and the compilation of other data relating to the water supply. lie said last evening that be expeetid to leave this -morning for the Verde with Mr. Hamilton, who came !u.re a day or two ago from Log Angeles. Mr. lleisler, who arrived two or three weeks ago, has made the necessary arrange ments for the initial camps and no time will be lost in getting the work started. Other members of the corps are expected daily. The Brst work contemplated is the thorough and exhaustive exploration of the Verde basin, including the lower dam site just above the Arizona canal head and the possible sites above. The matter of water supply will be care fully considered and all details-in con nection with a storage enterprise. The machinery shipped from San Carlos is here and more is ea route from Los Angeles. Mr. Davis will only be here a week this time, as it is urgent that after that he spend a month in Washington com pleting his report on the isthmian canal enterprises and in consultation with the canal commissioners, lie will return here in February or March to view the work accomplished and to further direct it. It is quite possible that before his labors here are com pleted he will examine also the Hudson and Tonto reservoir sites, though at present the work will be entirely within the Verde basin. Mr. Davis is a great friend of Ari zona and has given much time ana study to the irrigation possibilities of this region. He is in reality a pioneer Arizonan, as his first independent work in the line of bis profession was performed iu northern and eastern Arizona seventeen years ago. Ue talks very entertainingly of the Nicaragua and Panama canal routes and of life in the tropics. Ue has prepared an ar ticle for tho January. Forum on the canal question, which will no donbt be of great interest to all Americans. The climate of the tropics, he says, is not particularly disagreeable except in the swampy country, and many placeB it is exceedingly healthful for those who take care of themselves and let liquor alone. He did not have a single sick day during the two years he spent there on his two visits. Speaking of the building of the canals, be says, there are many Americans who hava beeD there from, twenty to fifty years waiting for the big enterprise to ma terialize and expecting to make their fortunes when the work was finally begun in earnest. The Nicaragua route, though the most expensive, he says, is for many reasons the prefer able one for the United States to take hold of. B. HEYMAN FURNITURE CO., Wholesale and Retail. w '5;? ?

From the Kansas City Sta&l, A Kansas City girl who put a "matri monial" advertisement in a recent number of the Star is probably still gasping for breath over the following letter which reached her a few days ago. "Liberal, Kan., Nov. 29. My Dear Young Woman : I had just fininehed rounding up the market reports iathe Star to-day when I caught your brand in the personal column and as I'm just about the swiftest thing that comes down the pike, I made up my mind right away that you're just the maverick that l want to get my rope on so if you want to be queen of my heart and 18C0 head of the best white- face cattle in this neck of the woods, just send the old man a line,. and well be running our herd on the same range quicker'n a bucking horse can pitoh a cowboy into the middle of next week. "Before you put your Big. onto that letter you're a-going to write me, just tell me all about yourself whether you are a full blue-blooded or just a common dogie, and if you ride a leap ing horn saddle, or have you got onto that new-fangled way some of the city girls have of riding clotbespio fashion. I wunldn't object, exactly, if you do ride that-a-way, but if youd fust as soon not, I'll get the best buckskm sidesaddle in tbe market, with lots of gingerbred on the tapideros and Bilver jinglcbobB all over it. "If you want to know anything about me, justwrite to Kilgore & Bays, .Liberal, and if they don't tell you I'm a straight fellow and have the best ranch in the Panhandle, and can ride the meanest bronco and rope more steers than any galoot on the range, I'll eat my sombrero, audit's a hand made Mexican one, that weighs eight pounds and cost $14. "Hope you. won't get on the prod at this letter, for 1 never was. much at slinging words and always fonght shy of the girl& and as I never wrote a love .tter in my life and never sign anything but checks, you'll have to counter-brand anything yott do not like in this letter. I'm a-trois' to send my face along with, this, so you can see what kind of a looker 1 am, and hope it'll suit you. Return t!e. comp., can't you? "Well, I'll have to pope off or some galoot will be shooting holes in me for running on bis range. Hope to get that letter by next mail. Yours, if you'll have me. ... Tbe picture that accompanied the letter showed a. handsome young man in buck-skin trousers, high-heeled boots, wide-brimmed' hat and long hair, carrying two guns and a rope Regarding Office Holders. The Globe-Democrat's. Washington careespondent has the following to say about the office holders of Uncle Sam: When the president formally in vited bis cabinet to remain with him another term, he meant something more. Officeholders, great and small. whp are giving satisfaction in the dis charge of their duties, are practically included ia the invitation to stav There are to. be no removals except, for good cauee. The only changes and- appointments which will occur will be those due to vacancies on ac count of deaths or woluntary resigna tions. Authority for this statement comes from, the White House. The President's policy regarding patronage was announced explicitly and definite ly in response to an inquiry made re specting it. Efficient officials holding commissions for stated teems will be re-appointed. Those who. are serving without fixed- tenure will continue without interruption by the transition of the administration1 from first to second term. This statement applies not alone- to government officials in Washington. It will be the policy to continue postmasters, collectors, dis trict attorneys, judges, marshals and other federal officers through the next term."' nothing bnt a double track goes with bim hereafter. We hope he will have a happy run and a steady job the rest of his days, that he will neve.- tank up or get oft of the track of domestic rectitude. That he will eventually learn to push a wicker-work cab on a set of pony trucks, and when Gabriel gives him the final signal to pull out may he quit a dead engine for a flying machine." Reminiscent. From the Chicago Tribua. (Mr. Skimmerborn, as the partici pants in the debate became personal:) 1 was a thundering fool when I usked you to marry me! (Mrs. Skimmerborn:) Well you looked it, dear. The West is a unit in desiring the reclamation of its arid lands. Appro priations for this purpose are demanded not only by reason of the obligation of the Nation to improve its property, but as an offset to the great sums con tributed by the arid interior for the improvement of the rivers and harbors of the rest of the country. 'The work of the National Irrigation Association has been mainly a propaganda among the merchants and manufacturers of the East for the purpose of arousing them to the importance of . opening new markets by irrigation. This propaganda has-been remarkably sue cessful. San Francisco. Chronicle. cd with a bell rope leading to t guards cab. Near the handle is pos'S a notice warning passengers that i guard is not to be summoned except desperate cases, such aa murder, e under penalty.

The guard and the engi driver rushed back excitedly, expecti to discover something very dire deed. By virtue of signs the Chicago explain:d v.hat he wanted, Ther he was greeted with a storm of abt. and he was very near being: threaten with personal violence. However, t guard and the engine driver return to their posts and the train proceed. When the Chicagoen- and his party i; rivwi at their destination he was n at the railway station .by a jabberi mob of officials, who promptly hal him before an august functionary, w managed to inform him that his lit j gayet.y with the bell cord would- c4 him just 30 marks, which he must p or go to prison. The Chicagoan to he former alternative. Tbe facetious and versatile editor of the Globe Times is responsible for tbe following marriage notice : "Wedding bells and wedding bills are quite dif ferent, but Conductor H. B; Putman don't care, he has. a smile on him like a boiled pig's head- smothered in cab bage. This marriage occurred Satur day night, Judge Whalley officiating, aud Mrs. BurcbSeld was the prize. Conductor Putman has finally headed into the yards of domestic felicity after running so long on the main line ; of discontent. He has concluded that Irrigation has long sinee' passed be yond the experimental stage. It has even reached the point where little can be done by private capital. Yet vast areasof the public domaim remain un reclaimed in localities where land would have a high value if an artifi cial water supply were assured the year around. Without storage reser voirs they would be barren and use less indefinitely, but once irrigation becomes possible they wilt be quickly settlsd and will support a much larger population than the same number of acres of land maintain in regions where normal rainfall prevails.
