PLANTING TREES AND VINES

This is a good and important work and we are glad to see 8 lively interest taken in it just now, in this immediate locality. Dr. F. H. Goodwin has received from San Diego fine lot of olive, fig, and almond trees and grape cuttings and roots, which he will plant on his ranch, ten miles east of Yuma, where there is. a large irrigating ditch and good land. A number Of parties in town are planting trees upon their lots, and some on the sides of the streets in front of their houses. These are principally eucalyptus and pepper trees, both beautiful fra grant trees of quick growth and affording- delightful shade. Of those planting on the. street we notice Geo, Martin, druggist, on Main street, and MT. Humboldt. in the opposite side of the street just below. Mir. Martin planted the eucalyptus and Mir: Humboldt the pepper tree. A large num- Der of our citizens are planting trees in their back-yards. This is all very well, but for the beau- ty of the town we want to see the sides of the streets lined with shade trees, like the beautiful city of San Jose, Cal, which. em- powered with trees and flowers, gives the traveller very pleasant emotions, and looks more like a paradise than anything else.
 Friends, plant trees and flowers. You cannot over estimate what they add both to the beauty and value of your property. Trees are very cheap in the nurseries of California, and the the steam. boat company will bring them here at. very small cost. Let this good work go on.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOL.

We understand from our school trustees that the funds will not suffice to pay the teachers for the
 full term that they were employ ed to teach, and that they are about to ask subscriptions to com plete the necessary amount. We hope they may meet with success.
 Any one who has visited our school and noticed the progress made by the pupils, would be sor- ry 10 see the. school closed now, just when the scholars have com- menced to take and feel such a lively interest in their studies. The hardest work that teachers have in all their labors is to make the scholars feel an interest in their studies. When this is &C., complished, half their work is done. Our school is just now in working order, and more real pro. gress will be made. in the next two months than in all past time.
 We earnestly hope that our ci- tizens, who have the reputation of being the most liberal in the Territory, Gin fact, all you have to do is to present a subscription pa- per and they subscribe without any questiDns,) will con- tribute literally for this cause. Let us come up to the work free. ly. even if we have to dispense with some luXuries that we can do as well without for a day or two. The cause of free education is 8 good cause, and aM good and true Americans, native and adopt ed, should have it at heart.

THERE is a great deal of travel now. The stages pass through town overloaded and generally full of through passengers, sothat it is often impossible for way pas sengers to get aboard. Private transportation had to be provided in some instances lately. Some. times through passengers get of here to rest, intending to take the next stage, but the next stage comes along full, and they have to wait for the next. We don't care how long they stop in Yuma, but travellers sometimes seem an. noyed at not being able to con- tinue their journey. If travel continues at the present rate, we think our energetic mail contract ors will find it to their advantage to put on more roomy transpor- tation.

spirit of speculation and fortunes are frequently won and lost in day. It retards the settlement and growth ofa new country, be- cause in the feverish excitement of thisrush, men are not station ary or permanent in anything. If they plant a tree they do not stay long enough to enjoy its fruit or it's shade, but are off on the first news of some place where there seems to be chance Of making fortune with a rush. The sacred precincts of home are invaded by this rushing spirit. and the hallowed joys of the do- mestic fireside and the elevating influences of the social circle are not what they used to be, for the rush of business is carried there. We rush too much. Let us try to enjoy some of the blessings and comforts of life while passing through this mundane sphere. re- membering that

 Lieut.. Smith, superintendent of telegraphs in Arizona, continues, to make improvements. Early this week, he put cross. bars on the poles leading out of town, on which there are two wires-0ne the eastern and the other the Wes- tern. Two wires on the same poles look rather "cititied." The line to Lowell is completed. One thing is observable about Lieut.. Smiths work, and that is it is of the best character.
 We are informed that somebody has been guilty of stealing teIe- graph poles between Tucson and Camp Lowell. If caught, such thieves might get situation in the new penitentiary at Yuma.
 James Quinlan's train arrived from Yuma on Wednesday with government freight consigned to Fully, Ochoa & O.. and destined for Bowie, Grant, San Carlos and Apache.

Gone From Our Gaze.
PRESCOTT AND VICINITY FREE FROM THE PRESENCE OF sAv- AGES.

k When the traditional Contra band lost the rabit, the legend runs, he changed his mind as to it's value, and sought consolation in philosophy. But the people oi Yavapai never did have much sympathy to waste on. their O. tenants, the Apaches, and now that they are gone can. say, with. out doing violence to their con- sistency, "there never was much good in them and, the further away they are taken the better it will be, provided they stay away and newer come prowling back again." They are. 'tOugh citi- zens" at best, and any country is we'll rid of them, nevertheless we still think. the Department has entered upon hazardous experi- ment which if fully comprehend ed would. never have been under taken; but it is done and let us hope for the best.
 They started on Saturday from the Verde some 1476 strong, un- der guard of 15.soldiers and 40 h. dian allies, on their way to San Carlos. Joy and peace go with them and may they never again set foot Tn Yavapai county. The reservation Tn the Valley of the Verde will now be thrown open to settlement by white people, and when it is known abroad that there are no Indians within hun dreds of miles of Prescott we shall expect to see families and all the better class of immigrants whose lives are valuable and who are concerned for the safety of those dependent upOR them, turn their teams in this direction where they can be free from the fear of indians a5 we'll as because of the rich ness of the country's resources.

Manufacture of Mohair.

The following interesting note from MT James Peck, of Mohawk Station, on the Tucson road, ex. plains itself. All persons inter ested in the prosperity of Arizona will be glad to know that the business of raising Angora goats is sure to be a complete success. We have just the climate and feed for them, they are healthy and increase rapidly, Their fieese is worth per pound three times as much as the best -sheep,s- wool. The specimens of manufactured mohair goods which MT. Peck kindly sent us, are beautiful, and all persons interested are invited to call at our office and inspect them. We would like to see more Angora goats coming into the Territory. Those interprising breeders, Landrum & Rodgers, of Watsonville, Cal, can furnish any number of them, of high grade.

 Enclosed please ind samples of goods made of mohair or Angora hair, at the Jamestown, N. Y. Factory, just completed. They are the first made in the United States, and from all indications is a perfect success. The business of raising goats bred from the An. gora is highly recommended and meets with great encourage ment by parties engaged in the manufacture of goods made of An. gora hair.
 My Angora rams are doing splendidly; the young stock shows good blood. They are fine. When one month older I will send you a sample of the hair.
 Yours truly. JAMES PECK.

a NOBLE LETTER

Gov. Carpenter, of Iowa, q gal
liant soldier and loyal citizen, sent to
the President the following ringing
letter, which faithfully echoes the
sentiments of the loyal people:
STATE OF Iowa, EXECUTIVE DFp'T)
DIES MONIES, Jan. II, 1875.
To the President:
have watched with anxiety the
development of the Louisiana i'm
oroglio, and in the recent climax of
an insnrrectionary spirit and pur-
pose shown by the people of New
Orleans, respecting secret organiza-
tions hostile to the government, /
am gratified by the promptness
with which the revolutionary
schemes were met and defeated. 1t
is also a source of qualification and
an earnest of the wisdom and mod
Grafton with which the military arm
Will be used to suppress this rebel
lion that the commander of this de-
partment is General whose past
services to the country, whose bril-
liant reputation as n soldier and
whose patriotic devotion to free
dom are recognized and trusted by
every man whose heart was with
the Union during the war of the
rebellion.
These people do not believe that
he will abuse his power, and thew
know that he will not suffer the
rights for which he and his COM
rades periled their lives in the past
to be trampled down by an organ
lied mob. l may safely say that
the masses of Iowa, who sympa-
thized with You and your army
when you confronted the rebellion
at Nicksburg and Richmond, SYM
pathize with you in your policy to-
| day when confronting its lingering
spirit at New Orleans. 1t is true
that the people who were with you
when their liberty was imperiled
by undisguiscd and recognized wal
fare will be glad when the spirit of
law and order shall so far take the
place of turbulence and insubordi-
nation, and tranquility and peaceful
industry shall again SO generally
prevail, that military interference
to preserve peace and prevent blood
shed will become unnecessary in
any of the states, But if the gov
eminent of any state is to be a gov
ernment of force they prefer FEEDER
al bayonets i'll the hands of men
who have proven their fidelity to
the country, to shOt-guns and
bowie-knives in the hands of White
Leaguers and Union haters.
With great respect, truly yours,

SHARP TRADING.-Uncle Billy
Mathews, of Seneca, Kan, is quite
wag on trades. Ills latest dodge
is described as follows by the Sene-
ca Courier:
"Uncle Billy" Mathews sold his
farm on Tuesday last to George w.
Williams-George agreeing to pay
for. the same IN the following pecu-
liar manner: Mathews has a wa
gon with 80 spokes more or less
for the first spoke of said wagon,
George agrees to give one kernel of
wheat, two kernels for second
spoke, four for the third, and at
that rate for the whole number of
spokes. The total amount to be OBJ
tanned by weighing small number
of kernels, and thus easily find a
total in bushels. George is to de-
liver the wheat at Peckham 81 Will
liams' store two months from date
of the contract and for failure of
either party to come to time, they
are bound in the sum of $1,000.
Papers to the above effect were
drawn up by Attorney Conwell on
Tuesday. When figures to a result.
the above contract is startling.
Try it yourself. Mr.. Cohen informs
us it will require 2,191, 7O3, 623 bush
els of wheat, which will cost ST. 3d.
O22, ia at 60 cents a bGshel. 1t is q
general impression about town
that George is badly beaten; and
the question is, will ''Uncle Billy
insist on the contract.

aEse Sort OF Stories that are
now BEING Told about
Kansas.

We clip the following from the
Chicago Tribune, one of the leading
papers of the country. 1t is a spec
linen of numerous other equally
humiliating statements that are now
being made about this state and it's
people as the uutpouring of the
whole mendicant system:
Near Beloit, little place in the
western portion of Kansas, the
grasshoppers injured a part of the
crops of 4 few farmers. Three or
four of them came into the village
one day and announced that thew
were going east to obtain "relief."
They had letters drawn up by them
selves, which, through the influence
of demagogue, were Endorsed by
The town authorities. Armed with
these documents they started east,
taking in St. Louis first, which
yielded them q handsome sum.
Leaving St. Louis, they took the
towns along the Ohio river-Louis-
vile coming down handsomely-and
finally reached Cincinnati, where
they created first-class sensation.
The newspapers aided them by pub
fishing columns OF "interVieWs"
with them. Having successfully
worked" Cincinnati, they moved
on, like the grasshopper, soliciting
contributions further cast. Mean.
while the Beloit authorities got
alarmed at the unprecedented man
ner in which relief was pouring in
to that region, and meeting was
called to repudiate this committee
and its operations but they con-
cluded to hold their peace, as any
official action on their part would
stultify themselves. Men who have
lost nothing and have money in the
bank are obtaining "relief," and a
general spirit of cupidity is spread
ing over the state. The point to be
impressed upon the public is, that
Kansas is abundGntly able to take
care of its sufferers without outside
aid, and in this point we feel war
ranted in asserting, upon good au-
thority, as up to this time she has
done little or nothing, because peo-
pie abroad have rushed en- masse to
the succor of starving co Kansas.
