The Cn1EF's Washington correspondent
expresses the comforting opininon that
"The Senate will not bother with any rec
lprocity treaties this winter, "a the admins
tration is dead against them. Mr. Bayard he.
carefully tucked Rlanister Fosters Spanish
treaty away in pigeon hole where it will
be allowed to lie permanently. Congressman
Townsend of Illinois spent several hours
with the President urging the adoption Of
his plan for a customs union between the
American Republics, under which there
would be free trade among the nations of
this hemisphere, and probably the Presi-
dent will give the scheme some attention
but do not believe he will recommend it
The Nicaragua Canal treaty will be re-
newed with some modification, SO as to rec
ognize the rishs of Costa RIGA, and the
route has been somewhat changed as the
result of the last survey by Mr.. Menocal."

POST SCRIPT TO ARIZONA LETTER

tSince going to press.witl our first page, We
find p ). TO MIR. Mcdonald S letter which had
been mislaid. As il contains a reply to some
inquiries that had been made by parties here
regarding the West, we publish it.-Eds.l
1t is just as true now as when
the great Horace said, $50 west, young
man; 60 west" Millions of acres of
good agricultural land still await the
hardy settler, in all the western states
and territories. The great cattle herds
of the west in few more years will
mostly be broken up and the cattle in
terest will sift into the hands of small
holders. These holders will be the men
who take up the lands and put what
they can into cattle or other stock,
Hardships will have to be endured.
Want may knock at the door, but indus
try and economy will tell. After all,
hardships and danger are the mile
stones of our lives. Without them life
would not be worth remembering. NV
knowledge Of Arizona is still very linn
tied, and as far as l hear, times are
very close. But to the wanderer who
loves to travel DER the desert waste or
climb the rugged mountain side, let
him come to Arizona and 1 will show
him around. w. g. Nc.
