The Porter of Havana.

This is the portero. Though the household depends upon this man for all wise protection and safety, he is not Of it. and he seems to sit eternally at his little table, obliviops to everything save his oc- casional immediate duties, rolling out cigarettes as though his very life depended upon this task alone His livelihood prac- tically does. for, though faithful sort ol animal he is poorly paid The many thousand porteros of Havana have becom an important factor in cigarette manufact .ure. For each C. .0e0. which in vince like package are called una tarea, they rc ceive un escudo, sum equal to nineteen shiIlings in American money.-Edgar l.. N akenan in New York Mail and Express,

Never Pasture Alfalfa.

A good farmer, in the Colusa Sun of a recent date, says "Alfalfa should never be pastured. In the first place it will pay better to cut it and feed it to stock. There is an immense waste in having a lot of stock in on a rank growth of alfalfa. The waste is more than what is eaten The great ob- jection, however, is that if pastured the weeds are allowed to grow, while the alfalfa is eaten down. It is evi- dent ths in this way the weeds soon take the field, but if it is cut the whole is taken down together, and when given a fair chance alfalfa will not be rooted out by any weed. If a person has even ten or twelve head of stock to feed he will find that it will pay big wages to mow it and haul it to them. A field will feed three times as much stock, and save the grass from l heinz killed out.

THE Prescott Journal Miner denies the existence of the smallpox in that city and attributes the alarm to the presence of some harmless eruptive disease the nature of which the phy- sicians have not yet fully determined, that probably originated from the poisonous vapors of the roasting furn- aces at Jerome. We are glad to learn that the situation is no worse. Our information was based upon a letter received by gentleman of Florence from a reputable citizen of Prescott, and was deemed entirely trustworthy. The appearance oi notices in the Pres colt papers that fresh vaccine virus could be obtained of certain physi- clans, gave color to the story, and we are inclined to think that a genuine alarm really existed.
 Since the above was put in type D.. R. k. Robinson, Of Prescott, has pub lished a card confirming the statement given in the ENTERPRISE two weeks ago so far it related to the city of Prescott, but all danger of the disease spread ing has since beeu dissipat9l by the prompt measures adopted by the city authorities.

1t may be interesting for the men who are always croaking over the out look for the live stock interests of the country, to learn that during the last year the United States secured nearly 50000O immigrants, while 1t is esti- mated by the best authorities that during the present year not less than three quarters of a million of emigrants will be added to tho population of the nation. A better and keener realiza- ton of what this immense increase means will probably be given by stat ing that it is equal to the combined populations of Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, Idaho and Montana. In other words, more beef eaters have been and are yearly pour ing into the United States than can at precent be found in an area that con- stitutes over One-fifth of the national domain. If this stream of immigra- tiOn continues to add to our popula- ton, in addition to the increase through births, which latter number annually over half a million more, the FQuery will soon be not so much the price of beefas what can be substituted for it, for the reason that the United f States will soon be rendn1ad as irs- capable oI produElHg beef sufficient 10 supply all its inhabitants as France, 4Germany and many ether European nations now are In parts of the }Union thisinability to produce the beef required for home consumption is already an acknowledged fact Cali fornia, that once killed thousands of beei annually for their hides and tai
 low, to-day is forced to depend on Ari-
 zona, New Mexico and even Texas for
 its beef supply. Throughout the
 Eastern States the beef consumers
 have been forced to look to the West
 for their cattle, and it is to this de
 mand that the Western cattle busi-
 ness owes its existence to-day.

- REPEATED experience has fully de- monstrated the fact that water for ex- tensive irrigation is far more cheaply and economically handled through a single large canal than by numbers of small waterways, and as the question of economy is one of the most import ant to be considered in the future wei agc of this valley, it is proper sub
 of discussion among consumers as
 m as dealers in this necessary ele- Hhent to successful farming. The ex- pense of maintaining small ditches through many miles of intervening country between the source of supply and the cultivated fields, is in itself a tax whose burden is lhe heaviest borne kby the few farmers dependent thereon, and there are but few irrigators in this valley who have not repeatedly ath rm- ed this unpleasant truth and express ed a preference for the purchase out right from some available source, of the water necessary for their farming pur- 'mDses. The rate of toll fixed by the
 anal company is far less than the
 im required for the ordinary annual
 Ependitures upon the small ditches,
 hile the supply is more sure and iul- ly ample for all purposes. In the matter of economy the contrast is full E ly as great, as the loss by seepage and evaporation is nearly as great from Q
 nall ditch as a large canal. It would
 far better for every consumer if all khe small -ditches were consolidated into one large waterway from whose s laterals every man would receive his . exact proportion of water delivered up- on his land, without further care or expense for the mainteinance of the canal. Such is the inevitable destiny of the irrigation question in this valley and the sooner it is recognized and all conflicting interests harmon
 le better it will be for the people
 c the water and for the com
 kageneral.

Complaints are continually coming in from the cattle men along the river, of cattle stealing by the Pima and Papago Indians. Along the whole length of the river as far down as Agua Caliente, this stealing is going'on, and in several cases the injured parties have taken the trail of the stolen stock and followed it into the reservation. Complaint is made that when the grievances are laid before the Indian Agents, they pay no attention what ever to the matter, and threats are made that if the depredations are not put a stop to the cattlemen will organ ize and make an example of the thieves This would be the beginning of endless trouble, and a cheaper way would be for the agent to keep his thieving wards at home.-Phenix Herald.

The liberal spirit manifested by the people of Pinal county and the Territory at large to- wards TIE ENTERPRISE is indeed graii- lying to its publishers, and they pur- pose putting forth all possible efforts to merit the continued approba!ion of the public.

From information received last eve ming the whereabouts of four MeXi- cans implicated in the Nogales train robbery and murder is almost definite
 ly known. However they are all des- perate men and will not be taken without a desperate struggle if they are afforded any chance tO fight. The four men referred to are Geronimo Maranda, 9 or 30 years old, feet inches in night, and weighs about 130 pounds. He IS native of MOrvis, So

Every body remembers the time last year
when Mr.. Froude visited the West Indies;
aud everybody knew that the principal OBJ
ject of Mr.. Froude's visit was to collect
materials for writing a book on the West
Indies. The book, as everybody also knows,
has been written under the title Of 'sThe
Bow Of Ulysses" and many reviews of it
have appeared since its publication. One
of the earliest, if not the very first, appear
ed in the London Times and, as was to-
be expected, it was not only tinged, but
deeply coloured, with the Imperialism and
Casarism which snimates every utterance
of that paper on the Empire OF Great Bri.
tain. But of all the reviews of Mr.. Froude's
book which we have as yet seen there is
not one which deals with it from the purely
West Indian point Of view which wonld
