In ordr to demonstrate curability to govern new peoples we miut how a better record lor those now in our care." Prof. F. H. Rmell, in a U'oture in Washington. Dec. Whoever controls a stream practically controls the land it renders prod net ire. and the private ownership of water apart from land cannot prevail without causing endur ing wrong. In arid states the onlyriuhtto water which should he recognized isthatof use. President Koosevelt in his message to Congress. Undoubtedly the first work in irrigation which the government should undertuke is the construction of a dam on the- (iila River ut an Carlos, in Arizona, because this im provement would not only bring under cul tivation a large area of arid land for the use of whito settlers, but would also relieve the urgent needs of thousands of friendly Indians, who are now In a starving condi tion because the water upon which they have been dependent for centuries lias been diverted by white settlers above them. This improvement wculd be notonty a strik ing object letson of the advantage of irriga tion on a large scule, but also an act of mercy and justice. (Los Angeles Times Iditortnl, Feb. 11 1901. VALEDICTORY. After the first of January, 1902, the undersigned withdraws from the edi torial and business management of the Flokkkl-b Tribune, having agreed to deliver possession at that time toThos. F. Weedin under certain conditions Inch will doubtless be complied with. All accounts due this paper on that date other than subscription are to be pa;d to C. D. Reppy, who will also settle outstanding claims. Contracts for subscription will be carried out by Mr. Weedin, and ha is authorized to collect amounts due for subscription and co other. With this issue the Tribune enters upon the eleventh year of its existence, and there is some sadness in parting with it and its readers on the anniver sary. The paper has had its tips and downs, ahcTm?y have -nade mistakes "iieitner newspaper nor individual is Infallible but no onecan justly accuse it of lack of earnestness in its efforts toadvonce the welfareof Florence and Pinal county. For many years its hobby has been water storage on the Gila, and now that the object for which it has labored is about to be accom plished, it seems like breaking tender ties for the Teibunb and its editor to part l'.ut the work is done and it is now up to Congress; nothing more netd be said in newspaper columns. The arguments have been made, and tbey are unanswerable. From one end of the United States to the other the little movement that was started in this office by Indian Agent J. Roe Young and the editor of the Tribune lias grown to enormous proportions, until to-day it is generally recognized as the foremost irrigation project in the arid West. The Irrigation Con gress and the Arizona Legislature, at tha instance of the Tribune's editor, both endorsed it. The secretary of the Interior in his last report specifically recommends the construction of the San Carlos dam, and there is little doubt that Congress will at the present session make the necesiary appropria tion. The lands under the proposed canal are already withdrawn from entry. It is to be hoped our readers will pardon the personal character of this article; but it does not seem to bu out of place in parting with them. It only goes to show that even a modest little country newspaper is not without in fluence where it is published with a definite object, systematically per sisted in. Let it not be understood that the Tkibuse claims all the credit by any means. There hare been others just as earnest, but none more so, and with them we only wish to be considered a fellow-worker. As an individual, the undersigned will coutiuue the work by correspondence with Senators and Representatives until the appropria tion is made, and he urges others to do the same. Nothing is more effective. Keep everlastingly at it, even at the risk of being considered a crank and a bore-rwe hove bsen called both, and even worse but did not quit for a moment. And as for conceit, no man ever accomplished anything who was devoid of telf-rsteem, who did not be lieve in himself snd in his power to do things. There is such a thing as over doing it, and our hope is that it has cot hern tk'iie in this instance. But let that pass the work shows for itself, and when it is accomplished, as it is certain to be, the consciousness of hav ing performed a duty will be satisfac tion enough. As the hero Schley said, 'There is glory enough for all . " For the Fioreuce people tiie writer has nothing but the kindliest feeling ; bis home and interests are with thein, and with them he will rise or fill. If there is ill-feeliti(f among us, let us forget it, and strive together to upbuild the town, which is destined to become the most prosperous and populous city in the territory. Friends and neigh bors, it is not "Good-by," but "Uood day,"' Cuas. D. Kkppy. In a letter received by the editor of the Tribune this week from Hon. Mark Smith, our delegate in Congress, under date of Washington, December 10th, he writes: "I am doing everything a man can possi bly do. For one week I have been every night from 7 o'clock until 11, meeting with a self-constituted committee composed of the Western Senators and one Kcpre&enta- tive from each State and Territory, In an effort to force on the Government some appropriation for the irrigation of the arid lands. My fight has been for a specific ap propriation. The majority seem incliued to ! a bill general in its character. I think I can safely say, however, that If any bill is passed or any appropriation made, the very first money will be applied to the San Carlos dum. But this may be when you and I are dead and happy." Majok Jim McCuntock has returned from Washington, where he went to visit his old Colonel, the President.

English Club Woman's Story. From the Buffalo Commercial. In the Slate Federation of Woman's Clubs at thiu morning's session, bin. Hugh Reed Griffin of London was in vited ;o address the convention. Mrs. Griffin, whose husband is an American, formed the first American woman's club in London. The club has become very popular, has attracted wide spread attention in England and has tb effect of establishing a better un derstanding between English and American women. Mrs. Griffin told about the forma tion of the club and its work. She stated that there was some prejudice in England kgainst the America's club I woman, and that she, herself, shared that prejudice to some degree. "The American club woman is so terribly busy that I often wonder, and so do other people wonder, if she finds any time at ail to spend at home," said Mrs. Griffin "I beard a story once wnicti aptly illustrates tnisiauu in me Americsn club woman. Three little boys were together, and their childish talk finally drifted to the question of where they were born. One little boy said : " 'I know where I was born. I was born at Ko. 33 Washington street, and I know where the house is, too.' "And one of the other iittie boys said : " 'I know where I was born, too. It was at No. 50 Pennsylvania avenue, and I can take yon right to the house.' " 'The third little boy hesitated, and then finally said : " 'I don't know where I was born, but I know when I was born. I know there wasn't anybody home at the time but me and grandma, 'cause moth er was at the club . ' " San Carlos Dam Will be Built. From the Tucson Post. Register Moors of the United States land office in Tucson, this week received notice from the commissioner of the general land office to withdraw all sur veyed lands from entry embraced in the country on tha south side of the Gila river from Dudleyville to Mari copa extending almost to Picacho Peak. This action on the part of the de partment is explained in the letter. It says that the government is taking steps to build the great reservoir known as the San Carlos dam, and the lands are temporarily withdrawn pending the completion of this government un dertaking. The building of this reservoir will be one of the greatest benefits this por tion of Arizona has ever had. It will bring an immense area of rich land under cultivation, and open to pro fitable settlement a valley which has scarcely been developed at all, owing to a scarcity of water. Tha action of the department in withdrawing this land from entry shows that the work of bringing the project to a bead is be ing successfully prosecuted. A Phoenix couple were recently married, and the bride invited an old aunt to the wedding. The cards weri swell affairs, and the corner bore the inscription: "Children not expected." After sennning it closely over her spectacles the old lady exclaimed ; "That's all right, but they'll have 'ein just the r-ame. Safford Guardian. THE POOR P1MAS. Agent Elwood Hadley, in His Report to the Secretary of the Interior, Says their Condition is Deplorable. ' '"' Agent Mudley of Sacaton, referring to the condition of the Pinias, Ma'i copas and Papagocs in his charge says : ' "In my last report I expatiated on the starving and helpless condition of the Indium under my charge and the necessity fur the building of a storage reservoir by the government. Practi cally the same conditions now exist, and the experience of the past year has continued me in uiy opinion and em phasized the need of a reservoir. "The department authorized the ex penditure of $3,000 for seed wheat and Darley, and' I accordingly purchased 220,000 pounds of wheat and 10,000 poundsol barley, which was issued for seeding purposes during October, No vember and December, 1900. This seeded about 4,000 acres, and with plenty of water would have yielded 4,000,000 pounds of wheat. There was sufficient wuter in the early part of- the season, but before the wheat matured the water supply gave out, the wheat shriveled up, and much of the grain failed to mature at all. About 1,000,- 000 pounds of wheat were harvested, of which, perhaps 30 per cent is good and sound. "After putting forth every possible effort (such efforts as white men would never make) to raise a crop and make themselves belf-sustaining, these wor thy Indians are again stranded on the desert with scant provisions, sufficient for only a few weeks' existence. While the crop raised is nearly twice as large 8 lt year, such other resources as wcv imu are pracuuaiiy exuaus'.eu . , . . lucicm uu water lur tueir crop ui curu, beans, pumpkins, etc., which is usually planted after the wheat is harvested. The weather is dry and hot, with no immediate prospect of rain. Within a few moots the Indians will have to de pend on the government for support. 'I can not say too much in praise of these Indians, considering the trying circumstauces nnder which they have endeavored to support themselves. Many have songqt work off the reserva tion, but there has been little opportun ity during the past year to secure out side work for any large number. There are many who have families and cannot leave home.
