FOREIGN NEWS.

PARIS, Jan. l6-Tne manifesto of
Prince Napolson was at first regarded
as hoax, and many still doubt It's gen.
uineness. Figaro has been seized.
In the chamber of Deputies, Jolibers
(BonapartisO Intercepted the govern
ment on the subject of the arrest OF
Prince Napoleon. He said the issue of
the manifesto was simply press Of
Tense. The Prince, he declared. only
exercised his right.
Doves replied that the manifesto had
not only been published but placarded
This fact had been brought to the at
tention of the judicial authorities who,
in the exercise of the complete freedom
OF action they possessed, issued war
rant for the arrest of the Prince. The
government was firmly resolved to see
the laws strictly observed by all citi.
zens of the Republic, not excepting
Prince Jerome.
Floquet (Repubiican Vice President
of the Chamber) brought forward mo.
ton prohibiting the presence IN France
or Algeria of any members Of the for

A GOOD BILL.

Variants bill relative to pro-
ceedings in Courts of Justice,
which was pretty thoroughly
discussed in the House yester-
day provides that creditors out
side the State shall have the
same rights when collecting
their debts as creditors in the
State. 1t was opposed by some
on the grounds that a merchant
in San Francisco could close up
a Nevada merchant by attach
ing, etc. If the Nevada mer-
chant does not owe him any
money he cannot be closed up.
The bill, if it should become a
law, cannot destroy credit, as
its opponents claim, for the
san FRANCISCO merchant, seeing
how well the law has provided
for his interests, will be more
disposed to give credit than
now. Furthermore, any law
which facilitates the collection
of honest debts cannot be other
than a good law. Under the
present law there are altogether
too many loopholes for dis
honest men to crawl through.
The wholesale houses of San
Francisco do not crush" their
Nevada debtors when tie latter
evince the proper disposition to
do the fair thing. The bill has
some strong points which should
be considered.

ANEEXING IDAHO TO NE
vADA.

Senator Jones and Congress
man Cassidy, of Nevada, are
comforting on the ACCESSIBILITY of
endeavoring to secure congress
sional action for the annexation
of a portion Of Idaho Territory
to the State of Nevada. One
good result of such an annex
alton would be to break up the
Political power now held by the
Mormons in Idaho; another
would be to add to the resources
of the State of Nevada, and in
sure the permanent existence
Of that State. A great deal OF
the territory which it is pro-
posed to annex contains rich
mines and large areas of agri-
cultural and grazing lands
Much of it nearer the State Cap
ital than localities in the present
State of Nevada, and far more
accessible There can be no
possible objection to such an an
nexaticn, except on the part of
the Mormons. AS it stands
now, the Mormons have two
Delegates in CongreSs-one
from Utah and one from Idaho.
They frequently control the
Legislature, and have controlled
the Governor. Congressman Cas-
sidy told a Washington re-
porter that he wanted two coun-
ties in California annexed to Ne
vada, but Berry came back at
him with the threat to intro
duce a bill to gobble up the
whole of Nevada and annex it
to California. Are not these
gentlemen taking liberties with
the property of sovereign States?
The people of the counties of
None and Inyo desire annexa-'
ton to the State of Nevada, but
Congress has not the power to
make the transfer. IT can only
be done by consent of the Cali
fornia Legislature, and it is hardly
likely that such consent will
ever be given.-Post.

must be supplied with food that can be pro-
duced in the Uncompahgre and Gunnison val
lrys. These great mining belts are easily
reached by the railways and wagon roads.
We can safely say that here in these incom-
parable valleys we can compete successfully
with far-away producers, having in our favor
a shorter distance for transportation and the
ability to place perishable articles in a fresher
state upon the market.
Delta chief., 1883-05-02
WHAT WILL GROW mERE?

To this question there is but one answer to
make: Almost anything in the agricultural
line and in the way of fruits, possibility
that all kinds can be successfully grown.
The first assertion has been practically
demonstrated. On one ranch was raised
corn, alfalfa, potatoes, turnips, beetS, carrots,
parsnips, cabbage onions. tomatoes, beans,
squash, peas, cucumbers, lettuce, musk and
watermelons, and radishes. The domestic
grasses all grow by rrigation-timo;hy, blue
top, clover, Hungarian millet, etc. Potatoes
weighing six and half pounds were raised
ON the North Fork, and green corn an. mel
ons were furnished to the Gunnison market.
Last year Odessa wheat yielded over 80 bush
els to the acre, oats from 80 to 20 bushels, and
potatoes from POO 10 400 bushels. II can be
safely asserted that all the cereals a;:i vegc-
tables suited to temperate zone may be
raised. 1t may he that here, as in the valleys
on the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains,
that the intense winter warmth followed by
sudden extremes of cold, may be fatal TO fruit
culture but coil and climate matching that
soil and climate where the peach and apricot
flourish 10 perfection are thought 10 be here.
Young apple trees set out last spring grew
from fifteen to thirty-six inches during the
s,.ason

STOCK

The plateaus, or grand mcSas, as they are
commonly called, drained by the tributries
of the Guunison and Uncompahcre rivers, is
n fine cattle country. There are great mesas
slcping down from the foot of the ranges,
containing hundreds of thousands of acres OF
fine, rich, alluvial soil, which in summer, as
far as the eye can reach, is one great waving
sea of grass resembling bue,joint, but in
reality gramma grass. Here are vast ranges
yet to be occupied, and to become the stock
growing paradise. In winter stock can be
run in the valley country below these high
mesas, where bunch-grass abounds and but
little snow is met with, save in exceptional
winters Last year u profit of 50 TO 100 PER
cent. was made on stock. Mich cows are
from $50 10 SIS; stock cows, SS5 work oxen,
500 TO Si25 per yoke; beef, To 10 cents per

5000 deer were killed within few miles of

larger game, such as elk, deer, and several
varieties of bear, are found in every direction.
