Inhnr,tad Diseases.

No fact of nature is more pregnant with awful meaning than the fact of the inheritance of disease.
 Modern science, which has illuminated % many dark corners of nature, has sheG new light on the ominous words of tho Scriptures, "The sins of the fathers, snail be visited upon the children unto the third and fourth generation" FiIty per cent. of cases f consumption, cancer and scrofula, run ia families through inheritance. Insanity is hered. itary in marked degree, but, fortu- nately, like many other hereditary diseases, tends to wear itself out, the stock becoming extinct. A Gstin- guished scientist truly says: "No organ or texture of the body is exempt from the chance of being the subject of hereditary disease" Probably moro chronic diseases, which permanently modify the structure and functions of the body are more or less liable 10 be in- herited. The important and far-reachinZ practical deductions from such facts are obvious to refecting minds, and the best means for preventing or curing these diseases is a subject of intense ir- terest to all. Fortunately nature has provided remedy, which experience has attested as infsll.bic, and the reme. oy Is the world-famous Swift's Specific, . pure vegetable compound-nature's entidote Tor all blood poisors.

The Mohawk Canal.

Mr. J. H. Martin, clerk of the dis
 trict court, has been paying visit tc
 the Mohawk canal eight miles nortf
 of Texas Hill. From Mir. Martin the
 Star learns the canal is taken out or
 the north side of the Gila river, and
 the head-gate is cut through bluff O. nearly 1900 feet. There are twelve miles of the canal completed and there are nine miles carrying water which is being utilized to irrigate lands TOW nnder cultivation. The main canal will carry about l3,000 inches of water.
 Ten miles from the head the canal IS divided into two branches, one run, ming south and the other in a more westerly direction. Thirty thousand acres of land has been filed OF under this canal, much of which is now be- ing cleared and put in condition for cultivation. The land is rich alluvial soil, free from alkali, which taken in connection with the climate of that section of Arizona makes it capable of producing all kinds of selDi-tropical fruits and other products such as are peculiar to a citrus growing climate.
 Mr. Geo. W. Norton, superintend- ent of construction of the canal has forty acres under cultivation and forty more ready for the water. The forty acres under cultivation was planted down in sorghum thirty days ago and is now from five to six feet high. which shows the wonderful vitality of the soil. He intends planting large acreage in fruit, including bananas, pine apples, dates and the different cit. rus fruits, all of which MT. Norton has tested aud is satisfied they will flour lsh in that section. The Star is pleased to hear such good news from Yuma county.-Tucson Star.

The fact that Arizona fruits of all kinds ripen from five to six weeks ear Her than in California suggests the Fact that as fruit growing region Arizona can and will become the most important in the southwest. It is to be hoped that attention will be given to the business of raising fruit for not snly home consumption but for ship meat to the eastern market. The de mand for early frait will always be in excess of tfe supply, so that it will be a safe business proposition to invest in fruit raising in Arizona. The crops here can ali be marketed before the eastern crop comes in, hence there is ao risk ef' competition. There are thousands ot acres in tae vicinity of Tucson admirably adapted to fruit culture, and sufficient water can be raised by pumping machinery to suc- eessfuIly supply all the needs of any kinds Of fruit trees, and that fruit will grow successfully in the vicinity has eeea well es.abGshed.-Tucson Star.

Yuma the Place to Hold the Con.
 vention.


 The democratic convention for the purpose of nominating delegate to Congress and Superintendent of Pub lie Instruction will be held between the 10th and 30th of September. Yuma wishes that convention to be held here anu the representatives of the democratic l'arty in this section will work hard to gain that point. The claim of Yuma is a just and mod est one, and the SENTINEL sincerely hopes that both the democratic and republican conventions will be held in this town. Our hotel accommoda- tiens are frst-class and the new A. c. U. w. hall just finished is a spacious and comfortable assembly room. At the time proposed to hold the conven- tion, the climate is cool and pleasant, and our lovely gardens appear to their best advantage. The people of Yuma will give hearty welcome and hospi- table reception to the delegates, and in advance can assure them, one and all, of jolly good time.

The Ensena da, San Diego and
 Yuma Railroad.

There has been, ever since the devel- opment of Southern California began upon the present scale, more or less talk Of line of railway to traverse the peninsula of Baja California and develop the rich mineral and agricul- tural regions known to exist there; but this talk has never until the pres ent time taken any very definite shape. Now, however, an English syndicate has received concessions from and made an agreement with the Interna-. tional Company of Mexico, to build the line, and it is the intention to push the work through as rapidly as possible. Indeed, survey has already been made for the line from San Diego south to Ensenada, and one shipload of rails from England has been deliv- cred at the latter port. The syndicate will. probably extend the line south nearly the entire length of the penin- sula eventually, although no such in tention IS at present announced, and it will also build the much talked of short line from San Diego to Yuma This latter line has also been surveyed. and work will be begun upon it as soon. as the Ensenada road is finished.

Max o'ReIi on Amer lea.

Max o. .Rell has been givi ng his opin
 ion in a lecture as to what Americans are
 ike. His congregations are amusing,
 but so extravagapt as to take away all
 value from his criticism. He declares that no man with any self-respect has anything to do with affairs of state in America, and that if a senator accidently gains admittance to a select entertain ,uent the custom of the master of tte house IS to order that she silver as well as the coats and hats in the hall be care fully watched. There is more common sense in his observation as to American fondness for profanity. He tells of an American poker party on an English steamer, of which each member laid down each card with a new and distinct oath. The same poker party, short time afterwards, sang hymns fer over two hours. Max declares that he has met men III other countries who swore. and also, he IS glad to say, who sang hymns. but America alone produces men who do both with equal facility. He hints that American women possess many charming qualities, but they overdress, and the word simplicity is unknown in America.

A Springfield, Mas. telegram gives the following particulars of an encoun- ter between tra,n-men and a gang Of tramps near that place: A gang of twenty-two tramps boarded a local freight train little after noon to-day on the Boston & Albany railroad, be- tween this city and Indian Orchard When the train stopped at Indian Or chard station they were obliged to get off while switching was going on. Ar terwards they attempted to board the train again and brisk fight ensued. The train hands beat the rufflans with coupling pins. and the tramps retail ated by throwing stones until the train got out of reach. They then terrorized the community generally and threw stones at the depot. Help was sum- moned from the city, and special train was made up with force of po- licemen on board The tramps were met just west of Indian Orchard sta tion and the officers gave chase, each singling out a man. Six were cap tured in this way, and City Marshal Clune shot and killed seventh. The shooting, however. was accidental.

Annu.i A.sessment Work

The Mining and Scientific Press gives the following timely advice
 "Miners and prospectors who have net already done so. should at once commence the assessment work on their claim to comply with the U. s. mining laws. Only a few weeks more remain in which to do the work. It IS foolish to put of this necessary duty until the last minute and perhaps jeopardize Im- portant interests.
 "If work on the claim is not com menced on or before January 1st. 1889. they are liable to forfeiture and re- location. The weather about that time may be such in the mountainous re- e,ons as to entail g'e eat deal of extra trouble and expense. It IS bad plan to delay such work ur''lthe last moment. The working of the annual expenditure feature of our mining laws is now SO well known as to require no further expla- nation. If the work IS not done each year, the claim is subject to relo- cation. When the owners let the loca- tion lapse and then take chances ID re- locating themselves, they are apt to ind some one else on the ground If It IS at all promising.
 "The mining laws are liberal enough and should be strictly complied with. The idea of men holding ground from year to year without working 1t IS bad one. and the laws are intended to pre- vent this. They prevent also man holding a dozen or so claims unless he does some work on them all. The amount of work is plainly specified, and there is no excuse for neglecting II. Men with any enterprise or forethought will do 1t now and not put 1t of to the | last moment"
