David Drew, of Cincinnati, who
last year received from friend in
Alexandria, Egypt, some grains
of wheat taken from a mummy ex.
humed near the ruins of Memphis,
belonging, it is believed, to the
period of the ninth dynasty, which
would make it grown about 5000
years B. O., or nearly 5000 years
old. He planted the seed early
in the spring and carefully nursed
it. 1t grew rapidly, and at the
time of cutting measured from s.
to Z feet high. The leaves alter
nate on the stalk like common
wheat, but the product of the
plant is the most singular part of
it, for instead of growing in an ear
like modern corn, there is a heavy
cluster of small twigs in place of
the spindle, which hangs down.
ward from its weight, and each
twig is thickly studded with ker-
nels each of which is in separate
husk. From what is threshed a
larger crop will be grown next
year, as the result proves this to
exceed in quality anything modern
grain can grow.

The Fair.

A slight rain Monday, morning
put the grounds in fine condition.
The attendance Tuesday and
Wednesday was unusually large
and bids fair to continue to in.
crease TO the last day. The pros
poets are aattering for the biggest
fair ever held in the county.
One of the most common re.
marks that we heard at the Fair
Grounds Tuesday and Wednesday
was that there was a better grade
of stock shown this year than was
ever shown before. This fact
proves that the grade of stock in
the country is growing better
every year.

Nor for the past several years has so much active interest been displayed in mines and mining in Arizona as at pres ent In almost every section of the county, new companies have come in and new mines are being developed or old ones reopened. This work Is gener- ally being done on a sound financial footing devoid of wild cat tendencies, Rl- though there have been several attempts to float vagabondish properties m that direction. but-fortunately without suc- cess. There is an abundance of good mining property in Arizona which, If legItimstely worked, will prove a bonsn- zs not only to the owners but to the en- tire territory, by strengthening its credit snd giving 1t a reputable reputatiou-a something 1t is st present much IF need of. The day of the million dollar pros peot hole belongs to the lRst decade and will never again show even cropplngs ID this territory. Many of the companies now as work, have working bonds or contingent clauses in their purchase sgreements. 1T on development the prospect gives promise of 8 mine, the sale is consumated to the satisfaction of all parties concerned.

MANY of our citizens are sverse to planting cottonwood trees because of the evil reputHtion they have acquired as breeders of the csttepiller pest in the neighboring city of Phenix, but here, ths. danger need in novise be appre- hended. The pes. complained of, sp- pears to be peculiar to to the trees grown in the Salt River valley inssmuch as elsewhere it has never been seen, certainly not about Tucson. The cotton like down for. which the trees are noted, IS however, sn annoyance from which there IS no escape. But the tree IS easily procured, hardy of nature. rapid in growth, dense of foliage, and much preferable to DO tree at all.

SATURDAY, MARCH 8. lssS
WHY WILL THEY VOTE AGAINST
 THEMSELVES.


 THEMSELVES,
 The southern people, snd particularly of Virginia, West Virginia, and North Carolina, have made specIsl requests of the ;ftieth Congress for two Legislative acts. Flrst that it should repeal the fax on tobacco; and, second, that 1t sbouId pass the Blair bill for sid to com mon schools.
 The first act is solely within the con- troI of the Democrats of the House, they having a majority of that body, which alone can originate revenue bills. They have organized the machinery of the House so that by no possibility can the Republican minority evsn take up for consideration any subject distssteful 10 the Carlisle iunto. The Democrats are in the twelfth week of their reign in That branch. What have they doneS Every measure which hss been introduced to repeal or reduce the burdens of the in- ternal revenue imposItions has been
  ed by Boss Mills committee. That com mittee never will allow the House to vote on the repeal of the tobacco tax as sn independent measure. Their pur- pose is to use the tobacco tax repeal as s club with which to drive through free trade. They will formulate 6 bIll in line with the Presidents message, and say 10 those who want to repeal the tobacco tax. We will give what you ssk If you will help to strike down the protective ,sriff." In other words, the administrs- tion and the Democratic machinery ot the House are opposed to repeating the internal revenue burdens, and will put every obstacle in the way of relief to Virginia, West Virginia, and North Oar olins, unless thsy can strike trade by which the ruinous free trade policy shall get the pest of the bargain.
 The Blair educational bill lies now just where it lay at the expiration Of two former Congress. It has passed the Senate for the third time by good ms- iority. It has reached the House. where it was promptly throttled by the Carlisle conspirators as on two previous occa- sions. The friends of the bill tried 10 instruct the committe to report it back for consideration by the 20ih of March. The Democratic dictatOrs would not give it even that little chance. The resolution was referred to the committee on rules, the commanding spirits in which are Carlisle and Mills. Tke two Republicans members favor a liberal policy, and it depends on Mir. Randall, the third Democrat, to say whether Carlisle and Mills shall strangle the measure without allowing the House to vote upon 1t. Mr. Clevelsnd's friends gre boosting thst he will never have 10 veto the bill, as they say he would if it reached him, because 1t will die In com mittee
 This IS the situation of these two i'm portant measures. No other proposed e Legislation SO vitally effects several of the Southern States ss the repeal of the tobacco tax and the aid extended in the Blair blll. Yet the ruling csbal in the House, under the direct cammand of the administration, decree the death of both. How long will the people of these Southern States continue to place ID the hands of Democracy the weapons with which to Rsssssinste every measure ID which their interests are inyOlyed?-I National Republican.

SEVERAL of our Arizona oontem- porsries when commenting on H. O Rockers importation of 100 thorough bred Hereford bulls, have done it in B manner that conveys the idea that this was his first venture of this kind, when in truth H. C. Hooker has imported more Hereford bulls into Arizona than sll other csttlemen combined. For years il has been his custom to ship in from two to six carloads and the result IS plainly to be seen ID every hOofs and horn he owns. The range cattle on the Slerrs Bonita ranch are as fine bred cattle as can be found in the western country. To one not versed ID stock points, the cattle have the sspearance of being superior to the imported ones. Five years ago there WAS not scrub on the place and since then the grade has been continual ly on the ascent. Rockers theory is and always has been that good cattle cost DO more to keep than poor ones, and for like number they give a double return, hence his predeliction in favor of the former. Ranges that are now over crowded with scrub Mexican cattle, if stocked with half the number of well bred animals, would yield more largely and give much better satisfaction to their owners.

saine ratio OF representation prevails in all the

account OF the nationa, representation Ia Of

that be does not publish the tables to invoke
comment, but declares that under our free
government and boundlcss resources the Irish
~malcontents should exhibit 4 modest restraint
In claiming new privileges not now known to
law and not desired by the more conservative
portion OF the nationality in whose favor the
exception Is demanded. He advises the board
OF aldermen to adopt a measure whereby the
veXed question NAV be made squSrely on the
Issue before the public.
