It is given out on good authority that plan has been effected by which four hundred more Mormon families are to be settled in the Salt River Val ley in the vicinity of the Highland Canal. The object is two faced, the first is speculation. The land and ca nal are under the control of syndi- cate who proposes to sub-divide the land into four acre tracts and sell them with water rights to the heads of families. In this speculation there will be clean profit of over one hun dred thousand dollars to the syndicate and is legitimate as they will no doubt give full value to the purchasers for their money.
 The second and not the least inn portant object to some of the members of the project is the fact there is to be five hundred voters who will vote as the church dictates and which vote will control the politics of Maricopa county, which county will have 8 very large presentation in the next legisl lture And as it is fondly hoped by some politicians that the next legis. llture will elect a United States Sens- tor &c., &c., the gist of the Mormon colonizing business is made apparent Forewarned is to be fore-armed, the Star now sounds the alarm of the com ing crisis in Arizona. The people are now awakened to the situation, and unless the same conditions are to pre- vail in this territory as now obtains in Utah, the people must act and in concert irrespective of party.-Tucson Star.

The country will now advance steadily and rapidly to it's proper position as the garden spot of the entire territory.

Cheese Making in a Small Way.

It was far more commou twenty five years ago than nowadays for farmers wives personally to preside over the dairy and conduct the making Of cheese through it's various stages. There are, however, even now many housewives who would occasionally E.aEc a few cheeses for home consumption if they only were possessed of tho necessary conveniences. With view to assisting this class of would be cheese makers we have reprinted from Farm and Fireside a home made screw press,

THE SUCCESSFUL FARMER.
An Answer to the Question, ''yyhat Con
 stitutes a Successful Farmer?"

stitutes Successful Farmer?'
 The question may be asked, What con- stitutes a successful farmer? Different individuals would give different answers. To one farmer success means a con- stantly increasing bank account; to an- other, farm improvement and improved farm buildings: but there are some men who do not seem to know what success means. According to American Rural Home, the successful farmer is not nec- essarily the man who raises the largest crops and sells them for the most money, or who has the finest stock and farm buildings. or the largest bank account, but he who most benefits himself, his family and the world, from whatever position he may fill. A farmer may have wealth, fine cattle and barns, and still there may be no sunshine in the home. The outside world will look on such a man and say: "There is a successful farmer; he is making money; look at his stock and farm" Yes, but while his fields are fertile his home is desert.
 The farmer, to be successful in life, must cultivate his mind as well as his land. He must remember that he is de- pendent upon others, as others are upon him. He must bring contentment, pa- tience and a home love into his work. The farmer must remember that he is 8 citizen, and the citizen should be public spirited A man is sometimes said to have reached the top sEpund in the ladder, but if he has reached the top by pulling others down, who like himself were climbing round by round, we can hardly call his effort a success. So if the farmer has grown rich in lands and money by making others poorer, we do not class him with the successful farmer. Suc- cess in life means intelligence, brotherly love, honesty, public spirit, generos- ity and desire to do right, not from mere policy, but from the heart.

THE Legislature has accomplished very little during the past week, in the way of enacting necessary legislation, the time so far having been employed in the usual preliminary work. The session is now nearly half consumed and the remaining five weeks will be busy ones if much of the needed legisla- ton is accomplished.

He says; The rack and trough form the best feeder in use, being simple, strong. safe and durable; just what every farmer who expects to feed stock needs. The device will save time, labor and feed. It can be drawn to the stack, loaded and hauled to any convenient place to feed, and in muddy weather it can be drawn from place to place so that the stock will not have to stand in Dlud to eat.

and Florence is no exception, that possess a constitutional adherence of everything of a progressive and possess an uncomfortable envy of every individual success out of which they do not directly receive a share of the benefit. They are all ways ready tolend their aid and count enance in opposing everything that contributes to the general prosperity and do not hesitate to conspire to defeat even those matters out of which they will profit, in common with their neighbors, if the lions share does not fall to them. No question of public improvement Is even tolerated and their pessimistic opinions and pre- diclions often engage their best efforts to bring about the realization of their evil prophecy Like birds of evil omen they hover over the affairs of others, | and are always on the alert to handi- cap legitimate enterprise or prevent a business transaction that does not put money into their own pockets, and generally conduct themselves as enemies Of success and progress. They are sometimes moved by an unworthy spitefulness to injure their neighbors to down" them, if possible, for fancied af'ront and to demonstrate their own power and influence That they eI ist and form a part of the diversified elements that make up this curious world is one of the inscrutable edict: of Him who moves in -mysteriou. way, and, we suppose, they must bt endured like kindred evils that en

The skip style is now the thing among those
who are devoted to what may be called, for
want of a better name, leg culture; and
apropos of the prevailing mode new dance
is coming in which is especially adapted to it.
This is lie Reve." 1t is one of those softly
sliding, softly starting dances which remind
one of the bashfulness of maidenhood. There
are certain dreamy movements, with now
and then halt, just enough to give evidence
of ecstasy; then some more gliding and
another halt or start, while the music seduces
the pair to prolong the dance ad infinitum.
First, there are three glides, the last made
to a half measure note from the orches-
ira, a step spasm thrown in when a
full glide is expected. Then the foot
is thrown forward and instantly with
drawn behind the other foot, as though
the dancer were suddenly shocked for fear of
having done something naughty; then a little
jump with the forward foot, bringing the
other at the same time to q rest. This is the
group of motions of which the dance is COM
posed, and all the dancers have is to do it all
over again hundreds or thousands of times
and thus dream the happy hours away"
The position given in the illustration,
which is taken from The New York Herald,
is the correct one for couples dancing lie
Reve" The lady should not be held SO close
as in the waltz, nor should the couple appear
like waltzing dolls with wooden arms, hold
ing each other off without bend at the
elbow.
The dance is very pretty, but like all new
dances, it is impossible to tell how great a
hold it will take. Perhaps SO many will hest
tate to try it that it will only endure for a
season, with here and there couple more
confident than the rest to dance it, while the
rest look on green with envy. 1t is the simple
dance that lasts. And LA Waltz will doubt
less say to lie Reve," with the brook: You
may come and you may go, but go on for
ever
