sosp as is SOAP.

We are indebted to Mr.. T. C. Wat
son for box of soap manufactured at
the factory in this city, and it is first
class. Our citizens can now practice
what they preach: Protection to homs
industries" It should become one of
the fashions of our citizens to inquire
for homemade soap' and to take no
other. Not only should this be done
through patriotic causes, but because
of self-interest. Every manufacturing
interest that can be made prosperous
in our midst enriches every citizen of
this city and county by just so much.
Every man who obtains permanent en-
ployment in our midst is just one more
good citizen to assist in our prosperity
by spending his wages in our midst.
Merchants, lawyers, editors, mechan-
les, laborers, and every grade and trade
are interested in this matter, and each
and every one can lend their aid. Be
sides this the article manufactured
is in every respect the equal of any
brought from abroad, and each and all
can save money by buying home

The CObra'S Vengeance.

Andrew Fischer, an employer, af the Madras Railway Company,sswas seated in the veranda of lis bun galow and observed two large cob ras on the barren plain immediate ly in front of the house. Arming himself with a stout stock, he pro- ceeded to the spot and encountered the snakes. He succeeded in kill ing one of them, while the other, which had been slightly wounded. managed to. escape. Mr. Fischer hunted about for the runaway, but could not find it. He then returned to his bungalow and rested for some time, as he was off duty. Later in the day he prepared to go to his work, and with that object got out his clothes to dress. He sat on his cot, and was about to put on his shirt when he felt something bite him on the back. He turned round, and to his horror found a snake on the cot behind him, which he is said to have recognized as the cobra he had wounded that lnorn- ing. He immediately sought re-! lief, and all kinds of remedies were applied, but to no effect, and he died if7tne evening. It is com

 The Republican committee evil dently ordered him to wait until the President had spoken, and to utilize any mistakes the latter might make. It is natural, therefore, to presume that the President made no slip, for Mir.

Ancient Irrigation in Arizona.

The recent Investigations of the
 Hemenway expidition in Southwest
 ern Arizona threw light on the irri-
 gation system of the ancient resi-
 dents of that Territory It is esti-
 mated that at one time not less
 than 100000 inhabitants peopled the valley of tho Giia and it's tribu-
 tary, the Salt river. This country is now of desert character, except where modern irrigation works have been established. The pres ent settlers are beginning to util- ize what remains of the canals constructed by their extinct prede- cessors. The ancient ditches car ried the water across the flat lands between the Gila and Salt rivers for distance of from fifteen to twenty miles. They were large enough to be nayigated, and from their elevated position in some cases, were evidently intended to carry water upon a range of country left out of the calculation of the present inhabitants. The progress of irri gation in part of Arizona, promises, at no distant day, to restore to that region its prehistoric density of population. The high temperature and aridity which prevail there ne cessarily cause rapid evaporation, and when the development of the canal system begins to draw se- riously upon the water supply, means of economizing waste will be ia demand. In Persia and oth- CT portions of Asia, like conditions have been met with covered canals, and the system may yet command itself both in Arizona and Cali fornia. Nature has done something in that direction in portions of Arzona. Severalimportant streams at points in their course sink be- low the surface and follow subter- ranean channels for long distances, subsequently, reappearing. In some instances these underground water courses have been traced and tap ped, and water obtained for irriga- ting purposes.-San Francisco Bull letin.

NOah'S Ark Wood,


 Within a radius of sixty miles of Nashville, Tenn, there is said to be found tree that is said to be the shittim wood of ark fame. Cele- brated bOtanists from all over the country have examined the trees and agree that they grow nowhere else on the globe. They have de- eided that 1t is the shittim wood of which Aoah's ark was constructed, mention of which is made several times in the Bible. The tree is medium sized, with very dark. smooth bark, and the wood is of a bright gold color, In early spring the trees are laden with long, white blossoms. closely resembling great ostrich plumes. There seems to be no doubt about the identity of the trees, and it IS remarkable that they are found only in this small area, and so few at that.-Scientife American.

Dry Weather In Mexico.


 The Nogales Sunday Herald tells
 of singular sight which a gentle man recently saw about forty-five
 miles southwest of Hermosillo. While travelling along he came to 8 spot covering perhaps half an acre, where water had probably remain ed standing for time after one of the very few rains that have wis., ited that section this season. But instead of the place showing a de- preston in the earth, it was literally a mound of dead cattle. It appear ed the cattle began to bog down and thirsty animals continued to wade in, get stuck and die until they were three and four deep. He estimated that there were 45O dead cattle in the heap and states that they doubtless came, many of them from great distances as water is very scarce on the arid range in that section.

The question of the location of the new military post has come suddenly to 8 head, and with re- suit entirely satisfactory to the peo- pie of Globe. A detachment of the engineer corps arrived at Gilson's Wells Thursday evening, and is now engaged in surveying a military reservation, the eastern line of which will, it is rumored, be west of Gilson's. The location of the post buildings will probably be neaz Thompson's wells, seven miles from Globe. A gentleman, direct from San Carlos last night, informed us that orders were received to move all the troops at that place up to Gilson's. This being impracticable at present, Col. Synder so reported to Gen. Miles, and the order was modified to apply to three compa- nies. Forage has been ordered of J. w. Frakes, of Globe. Belt.

The present outlook for cattle Tn southern Arizona is none of the best. less rain having fallen this summer than during any previous season within recent years, and stock will suffer in consequence. On the range there is said to be suf- ficient feed for present wants but not enough to carry cattle through the long non grass producing months. The rains that did fall were practically useless as they were in no instance general and the long intervals between the rains that did fall nullilied whatever good effects they otherwise might have had, and as the season is now prac- tically over it leaves the great mes as and plains of the country much in the same condition as they were when 1t was first ushered in.-Citi- yen

. A ParalytiC'S Remarkable Re-
 COVery.

The following story of a remark
 able recovery is vouched for by
 Ralph Wisner, Keeper of Ontario County Poor-house near this vil- lage:
 "Miss Pomeroy, about thirty-fve years old, became an inmate of the poor-house last winter suffering a stroke of paralysis. Toward spring she had another stroke more severe than the first, and from that time until last evening she was-un- able to move a limb. She could communicate with her attendants only by whispers and all hope of her recovery had been abandoned. Last evening she expressed a de- sire that one of the women of the house come into her room and pray. Her wish was gratified, and after short time the lady who re- sponded was, startled by a shriek from the stricken one, and when she saw the paralytic sitting up in bed she was so startled that she went out for assistance. When she returned the sick woman was part lv out of bed. She continued to improve until she was able to dress and walk around the room. She believes that she has been restored to permanent health, and that it was through the efficacy of prayer. The physicians have nc explana- tion to make regarding the astonish- ing cure. .'-Canandaigua (N. Y) Spe. New York Sun.

The Barbacomafi Cattle Com- pany have sold all of their beef cat tie to Wicker & Hine, of Los An geles, for 2 cents per pound gross. delivered at Benson. The number of available cattle or the range will reach 2,000 head, and the contract calls for the delivery of POO head every eight days until the supply is exhausted. This is the largest sale of beef cattle over consummated in Southern Arizona, and the price is considered by cattle men a fair one.
The St. Johns herald., 1888-10-04

Tie Los Angeles Times states there is a project on foot among a number of Arizona's most exten- sive cattle raisers, to establish a a wholesale butchering establish ment in that city. They belive there is too much margin between the prices paid them for beef cattle on the hoof, and, tie prices real ized at retail, and accordingly they want the profits themselves, which the middlemen receive. l.. H. Gormlcyis the prime mover i'll the project, and may be joined by W. l.. Vail the largest individual cattle raiserin the Territory. The syndi- cate will represent from 10000 to S0,000 head of cattle, which will fur nish annually from 1000 to 5000 beef steers. They expect to keep the supply ap the year around, by feeding alfalfa for winter and spring markets.
