A Tucson dispatch, of the 30th nit, to the San Francisco Chronicle, says: There is ripple of excitement over the United States Receivers office at this place. Charles R. Drake was ap- pointed in place of Fred W. Smith, removed some weeks ago. Smith was granted leave of absence for thirty days just before his removal. He re- turned yesterday. In the mean time Drake's commission had arrived and he had qualified. Speclal Examiner, w. D, Harlan, has been here two weeks overhauling Smiths accounts and is in charge of the office. Smith refused yesterday and to-day to turn the office over to Drake, stating that he had not received official notification of hls removal. Smith has oyer S30,000 due settlers on final proof, which he says he IS ready to turn over at the proper time. Several suits and gar nishments were instituted to-day.

A late Washington, D. C., press dls- patch discloseS an alleged important discovery by the Department of Agri- culture, winch, it Is claimed, solves the problem of retaining the arid lands of the West without the employment of irrigation, The past season exper- imcnts m the cultivation of grasses on desert land have been carried on by the Department near Garden City, Tn western Kansas.
 Eight acres were cultivated, the soil plowed and thoroughly pulverized to a depth of one foot The land was sown to native wild grasses, tue seeds gathered from the surrounding prai- ries, and also imported grasses and forage plants. After planting, DOT ton of the land was covered by thin layer of straw, matted down by run nng heavy roller over 1t, which served the double purpose of retam- ing the moisture and preventing the pulverized soil, containing the seeds, from being blewn away. The annual rainfall where the experimental sta tain is located is about 20 inches and the country IS desert, except growth of wild grasses furnishing pasturage for stock. Upon the portion covered by straw an abundant crop of grass and hay was raised, far surpassing that obtained from adjoining land un- der irrigation, the native grasses es- pecially thriving finely.
 The assertion that thlS experiment. IS ian addition to human knowledge which should throw open to agricul- ture hundreds ot thousands of acres hitherto deemed worthless and add hundreds of millions of dollars to the taxable valuation of the country" is hardly warranted by single trial upon so small an acreage It will have to be applied to large bodies of land in widely separated localities be- fore the tests can be deemed of much value. It is not reasonable to believe that any considerable portion of the arid West can be reclaimed to agricul- tare without the establishment of a comprehensive system of water storage and irrigation.

Ministers Tn San Francisco, through the Examiner, are airing their belief of Heaven. Lorenzo Dow, an emi- nent divine, many years ago, was asked by two young lawyers, named Bush and Root to describe that place of beatifio rest for good souls after death, which he did in a very few contentious words. He sand, to the great amusement of his audience, that Heaven was vast plain in which there was neither Bush nor Root, and that was the extent of all human knowledge concerning it.
 California divlnes are more at sea concerning Heaven tLan Dow. Har- court. D. D., says Heaven is harmo- ny with God and cannot be located. :" Rev. J. Vooranger gives It as his opin- ion that Heaven IS unknown to man :: He must trust to God" Stebbins, D. D., says, "Heaven is not place at all, but state of mind and heart" Rev Thomas c. Easton, another biblical scholar, says, Heaven is place, though to locate it is impossible. :" The Rev. John Gray is of the opinion that Heaven must be tangible place, with location and boundaries" There are other opinions in the Examiner, and all tend to the belief that Heaven is terra incognito, but that it is soy- ereign perfection, and consists in liv- ing eternally in the presence of God. See Revelations Chapter XXI, winch describes the Heavenly Jerusalem as a walled city.

According to Bradstreet's, the vol tune of business for the current calen- dar year materially exceeds that of any previous year, in the United States. The total bank clearlngs at thirty seven cities of the United States for ten months past are the largest for that period since these records have been kept-more than F per cent in excess of the like total for 1888. This is fair indication of the propor- ton of gain in the volume of trade, for prices of most staples are ou the average as low this year as last, and in some instances lower. The official returns of exports and imports for nine months of 1889, as compared with the preceding year, show au ag- gregate of $l,112,376,000, as compared with $9S9.943,000 in 1888, or S122,. 433,000 more from January to Sep tember 30, 1889, than in 1888. This increase amounts to a fraction more than l2 per cent, very close tothe pro- portion of gain Ill bank elearings.

Thus It will be seen there is a very great divergence in the two estimates. In behalf of Governor Wolaey's fig ures It may be said that they have a credible basis, belng estimated upon the census St 1880, and subsequent es- inmates (which are certainly liberaD and by taking the vote in the corre- spending years, thus obtaining ratio of voters to population and then allow ing for liberal increase in the ratio of non-voters to voters, the estimated population is arrived at Gov. Vol fey's showing is certainly as favorable for the Territory as could reasonably be expected by anyone, and, in our opinion, his estimate of the population of Arizona is excessive, rather than below the mark.
 Farish's figures, on the contrary, are not even plausible, and as may easily be divined are put forth with a view of misleading Senators and mem. bers of Congress as to the true condi- ton of Arizona, hoping thereby to secure the admisslon of the Territory, with others, into the Union The BELT, believing that statehood would be one of the greatest ealamities that could befall Arizona in her present embryonic condition, was the first pa per in the Territory to oppose the State movement, and we see no reason yet to change our views.
 Parish is no more truthful in his statement that mo species of property pay taxes on more than one-third it's value" Such an assertion is rdicu- lous, as anyone resident in the Tern. tory knows. The rate of taxation in several counties has reached almost to tue limit of four per cent, and in or der to raise the necessary revenues to meet the current expenses all classes of property are assessed at ther full value, and in some notably town realty and cattle-above it.
