COUNTRY GIRLS.

Up in the morning early,
Just at the peep Of day,
Straining the milk In tho dairy,
Turning the COWS away
Sweeping the floor In the kitchen,
Making the beds up stairs,
Washing the breakfast dishes,
busting tho parlor chairs.
Brushing the crumbs from the pantry,
Hunting the eggs 10 the barn,
Cleaning the turnlps for dinner,
Spinning the stocking yarn,
Spreading tho viii ening linen
Down on the bushes below,
Ransacking every meaaow
Where the strawberries grow.
Searching for tixings for Sunday,
Churning the snowy cream,
Rinsing the pals anu strainer
Down In the running stream;
Feeding the geese and the turkeys
Making the pumpkin pies,
Rocking the little ones cradle,
Driving away the flies.
Grace In every motion,
Music In every tone.
Beauty and form and feature.
Thousands might covet to own,
Cheeks that rival spr ny roses,
Teeth the whitest Of pearls.
One Of these Country maids are worth

great interests of the valley and its.
surroundings will lie comparatively
dormant till road does come. The
millions of wealth which are here
must remain out Of business and
locked in the Businesses Of our giant
mountains or in the inscrutable germ
of life which pervades our soil till
they can be made more accessible to
men of enterprise and wealth. We
live, we grow, but very slowly as it
is. Our resources, when accessible
to development, are sufficient to
make US first among weallh-produc-

for that length of time that would
Immediately follow it into this
country. There is an ex2ectant halt
among the outside world, waiting,
a holding back till business can be
coneucted less extensively and with
more case. CAPITAL can find thou
sands OF other places where there are
railroads, where there are fine gri-
cultural prospects, where there are
business opportunities of all kinds
with all facilities of communication
and trade, and we cannot reasonably
expect it to exert itself to pass them
to come here before we can present
the same facilities of communion
ton. The county can well afford to
be liberal with the company that
will build railroad into it. We
could afford to pay branch road to
Phoenix the amount of tax annually,
which the Southern Pacific pays into
our treasury for several years to
come, provided it be built at once.
