SATURDAY, MARCH 27, 1886.

THE CHAMPION makes its appear ance this week under an entirely new proprietorship and management, the property having been bought from MT. w. E. Lockwood, the sole owner, who had leased the press and printing material to MT. J. w. Spafford, the former manager.
 The new company will be known as the FLAGSTAFF PUBLISHING CoM- PANY, and will b. under the business management and editorial charge of H. G. TEMPLE.
 As soon as possible the materials for new job office will be added, and the paper will be improved typo- graphically, as well as in the quality and quantity of its reading matter.
 Hitherto the CHAMPION has had no political convictions. It has been what is termed Independent, It will now "come down off the fence" and be straight Democratic.
 While consistently advocating the principles of the Democratic party, and supporting the present National and Territorial administrations, it will not be violent party organ; recognizing the fact that the most important news. paper work in this portion of the country, is to aid in building up the material interests of the Territory; especially the stock, mining, and commercial interests of Northern Ari. zona, of which Flagstaff is the cen, tral point.
 Above all the CHAMPION will be g newspaper, recording passing events, without fear or favor, working for the interests of no faction or,.clique, but for the benefit of the whole communi ty among whom its lot is cast.

 A naturalist has discovered that the bee works only three hours a day. Thus is another illusion of our youth dispelled. The little insect whose name has been synonym for industry turns out to be lazy loafer that ldles away ,wenty-one hours out of the twenty four. When Dr. Watts wrote the lines commencing

THE OyiJn Era IS very wroth at the CHAMPION for having suggested a new verse for the Book of Mormon, as follows
 "What proGte,h it a man fl he gam many wives and loseth his liber,y?"
 The editor of the Mormon organ charges the CHAMPION with "trying to be funny and making poor joke" |" Now, the gentleman is assured that when the writer penned that para graph he had not the slightest inten- tion of perpetrating any hilarious joke. There is no attempt at fun in 1t; on the contrary it embodies a very sober truth--for the Mormons. In the same article the Orion Era says:
 We admire the pluck and energy of the editor of the CHAMPION that caused him to kerp On running his paper, notwithstanding ihc recent disastrous fire, and do not like to '''''' '''N' 'it' '~EpAA b1 iilllNd'liln llG NOW ard who strikes a man when down, or the bully who berotes the helpless, by jeers and jihes at the Mormons, just at time when Hy appear helpless; but the wheel of for "n.e re'ulyes, and bye and bye the Mormons wiIl be top.

CURRENT COMMENT.
GOOD BYK, JOHN.

GOOD BYK, JOHN. We cannot say we're sorry, John,
 Because you have to leave,
 Not many in this country John,
 Will sigh for you, or Srieve. You've wormed yourself into the land,
 And blighted laboi's boast.
 So the best thing You can do, John,
 Will be to leave our coast.
 Although you're not whskey head
 A fouler drugs your forte,
 You smuggle opium, on us
 Through almost every port.
 And you've built noisome den
 In nearly every town,
 Enticing there both boys and men,
 To drag their morals down.
 Then good bye, John, we're sick of you;
 The facts 10 Us are plain
 That all your ways are very dark
 And all your tricks are vain.'
 The Rev. Sam Jones, whatever his other characteristics, has a truly Scrip tural regard for money. If he is cor rectly reported, he says: "l have no use whatever for money. 1 have all the money 1 want. My needs are supplied bountifuly. My family is comfortable and happy. and can | see what on earth l would do with money if l had it, A couple of hun dred dollars in the bank IS an abun, dance, and is all 1 have. As long a> a man has plenty for his wife and children and himself, he ought to be contented. l don't thlnk the Lord sent me out into the world to make money; but he did send me out into the world to do good. As far as my wife is concerned my life is insured for SIP, 1000, the interest on which, when l am gone, will be enough to keep her; and as for my children, don't want to leave them one dollar. If they are oi any account they Won { need il; if they are no good, money would be curse 10 them.

The drOuth and the consequent search
ty Of water tor stock In Texas the pres
ent season should open the eyes OF
stockmen to the necessity Of providing
an adequate supply OF water by boring
artesian wells and collecting the water
flowing from them in pools. The prac-
ticability of procuring water by boring
has been demonstrated, and in fact all
that is required is that the well shall be
bored the sufficient depth to penetrate
the strata of rock beneath which the
water is situated. The depth OF this
strata OF rock varies in different parts OF
the state. A ranch with one or two bold
artesian wells upon 1t would be doubled
in value since the supply OF water from
them would be unaffected by drouth.
1t is no exaggeratlon to say that an ar
tesian well would more than pay for it.
self the first year. Stock that suffers for
water or that has to travel tell miles to
reach water, cannot possibly thrive.
Water is a sine qua non to horses and
cattle, and ranch without water Is
comparatively valueless to the owner.
1t would be nearer the truth to say it is
II curse to him, inasmuoh as the loss OF
his stock from lack Of water in time OF
drouths would come near bankrupting
him. Every stock-raiser whose ranch 10
not supplied with stream Of living
water, should proceed without delay, to
have Artesian wells bored or else to quit
a losing business as soon as possible.
The boring of Artesian wells would have
to effect to Increase the moisture Of the
earth as we'll as OF the atmosphere, and
by doing that, to increase the annual
rainfall. The boring Of Artesian wells
in Texas would assure an adequate sup
ply Of water through the most protract-
ed drought.

THERE Is one branch Of industry that
is shamefully neglected in San Antonio,
which might be made exceedingly pro-
iitable were it energetically prosecuted
we allude to the cultivation of vegets-
bles on irrigable lands and on lands, that
with small outlay of money, might be
irrigated. Raising vegetables is most
profitable business where it is intelli-
gently prosecuted-it beats raising cot
ton all to pieces. San Antonio ought to
raise vegetables to supply the home de-
mand in abundance, and to ship 500, 900
worth Of vegetables to the northern
cities. This can be accomplished, and
what is more,i should be accomplished.
Early vegetables always command high
prices and pay well when they are
shipped, and they can certainly be
raised In our climate as easily as they
are raised around Mobile and New Or
leans. Hot beds in winter will enable us
to raise early vegetables in the spring.

deny charges that were never made
against IL. The LIGHT did not charge
that the San Antonio Rifles had at
tempted to pass condemnatory resolu-

atfirms, Ia that certain members wanted
to introduce those resolutions, but alb
stained from doing so because they found
their resolution would have met with
ridicule and defeat.
