From the number of roaming Indi- ans seen recently, one might natural ly conclude that the reservation was depopulated. More than hundred mostly squaws and children, passed through Globe last Saturday and Sun day, going in the direction of Salt river. Others have put in an appear ance since, and several families are camped on the hills at various points near town. The fact that they are not kept on the reservation but are allowed to roam at will, is a sufficient reason why the unoccupied reserva- ton lands should be opened to settle ment by white citizens-Silver Belt.

Prolific Alfalfa.

Doubt is often expressed by those who are practically uninformed con- corning the facts as to the truth of many of the statements published with reference to the marvellous pro ductiveness of the soil of California and the neighboring territories. Farm CTS from the east, for instance, who are accustomed to being satisfied with single crop of hay annually from their fields, are puzzled and incredul ous when told that on this coast they can readily cut from four to eight crops, and that the same marvellous productiveness will continue year af- ter year. The wonderful growth of alfalfa in suitable localities has been noticed many times in these columns, yet 1t Is always well to notice any particular cases in order that proof may be given that the statements are not chimerical. The Yuma Sentinel | mentions a case in that section which is especially worthy of notice. Last November a Mohawk valley farmer planted eight acres of alfalfa. The seed was scattered at the rate of twenty pounds to the acre. A good stand resulted, and in April the grass was ready to cut. The eight acres produced twenty tons of cured hay. In the early part of June it was cut again, and this time the crop amounted to twenty-four tons. On the 1st ot July the grass was thirty-two inches in height and nearly ready for another cutting. It is safe to, say that the field will yield crop each month un- til November, and perhaps later, for many alfalfa growers have harvested crops as late as December.
 At least seven crops will be cut this year, which will average little under three tons to the acre. Considering the heavy crop likely to occur later it is safe to put the average at fully three tons to the acre, or total ot 16S tons of hay from eight acres in g single season. It costs $1 per ton tc cut, cure and stack alfalfa hay in Ari zona; where the scene of this instance is located, it will readily sell for $10 tc $15 ton, and is often quoted at $2( and $25.
 It must not be supposed that this il by any means and exceptional in stance. In many parts of California where the climate is adapted to th' best development of alfalfa and thu water supply is abundant, equally a good results are often secured. Int writer has himself harvested alfalfi eight times in single season, and SC cured large crop each time. This cannot be done in all parts of th' state it is true, but there are large areas in which this experience can b. repeated.-S. F. Chronicle.

= A SncietY Mans Motto.

''The man who hesitates is conversationa1ly lostr Never discard remark as being toe obvious, the chances being that after anxious thought you have to return to it in default of better, and your audience thinks, if she is too kind to say, "Has he been all this time in thinking of thats" This is the secret of the success which sometimes attends very dull people. They have no sense of shame.

The 18th Legislative Assembly of Arizona enacted that in all counties of this Territory the entire care of the indigent sick shall be let to the lowest qualified bidder thereof, by the Board of Supervisors, after due publication asking for sealed proposals, to be pub lished for ten days succesively, before awarding the contract, in some daily paper published in such county. The law further stipulates that no one shall be considered qualified bidder who is not a regularly licensed physi- clan and surgeon. The law, notwith- standing it applies to Gail the coun- ties" is imperative in six, because o there being no "daily paper" through which the doctor or doctors can be in vited to submit their figures to the Supervisors for the faithful perfor nance of the job. Stipulating that doctors, alone, having sheepskin, car be considered qualified to feed anC take care of the sick is inviting { monopoly, and especially so where there are but one or two "qualifieC bidders" in a county.

It is gratifying to observe the in terest that has been awakened throughout the Territory in the ap- preaching visit of the Senate commit tee on irrigation. Nearly all the counties have taken active steps to secure such information as will be of value to the visiting statesmen in their investigation of the feasibility of re- claiming the arid regions of the West to the uses of agriculture, and whether the decision of Congress is in favor of the Government actively prosecuting the work or not-and we confidently believe that Government aid will ulti- mately be extended-the data obtained by the local committees will possess a value lar greater than the expense in cured in their collection, since they will present for the first time in perspicuous form, reasonably accurate information of the extent of our arable lands available for irrigation, the sup ply of water afforded by our rivers and lesser streams, the feasibility of a comprehensive system of water stor- age, and other information pertaining to the subject of irrigation in a gen eral sense. This information will be presented to Congress and will gain wide publicity through the agency of the press, and the effect will correct the erroneous impression of Arizona prevailing in the Eastern States, and to draw the attention of capitalists to the opportunities offered for safe and lucrative investment in irrigation en- terprises in this Territory. When the result of the investigations by the Sen; te comm it'ee is made pubic we feel confident that Arizona will make an excellent showing iu comparison with other divisions of the arid Vest Globe Silver Belt.

SLAIN BY HIS SON.

A Massachusetts Farmer Nourishss a
Viper in Rearing His Child.
SPRINGFIELD, MAss.. April 1S.--At West
Farms, farming hamlet lying midway be-
tween WeStfield and Montgomery, and five
miles from Westfield Center, this morning,
Joseph KING, a wealthy and well-known
citizen. ~ years Of age. was shot and killed
by Edgar King, his eldest son, aud the
house fired and burned. Some time after,
shots were heard near by, directing the
assembled neighbors TO spot twenty yards
away, where the murderer was found lying
in pool Of blood, having shot himself. He
died in two hours.
CAUSE OF THE CRIME.
The crime is chargeable to an unbalanced
mind, caused by long, continued dissolute
habits The act was premeditated and
young King had planned to kill au aunt
also. but could not get into her room. His
father was shot while lying 10 bed. and in
his mothers presence. The other occupants
Of the house saved the murdered mans
body from the burning house, but could
not save the house. The murderer ID
ruined himself by drink and his wife had
obtained a divorce. For several years he
had lived upon means furnished BY his
father, but had exhausted that source Of
income; hence the tragedy.

origin, let it be remembered
that we view the government here as
matter of business, not glory, and we pro-
test against Interference because we know
that our state affairs are managed in the
interest of all. We say to the republicans,
take your now states and keep control OF
the general government, if you choose;
keep up a scheme of taxation revolving TO
justice and oppression upon the agricul-
tural sections, and we will submit cheer
fully; but do not set ignorance and vice TO
rule over the south. Lastly, when interest
and judgment, ins cad of passion and preju-
dice, shall control the southern negro-when
there shall be freedom Of opinion among
them, then the whole question will be
solved. The white people are solid because
the negroes are solid against them.
LOCAL ISSUES.
The state treasurer of Arkansas, w. e.
Woodruff, thinks the question can be solved
by remitting to the states chiefly affected
all local subjects, the supreme court of the
United States being final arbiter.
George NJ. Adams, secretary of state for
Kentucky says: 81 am one of those who
believe in the rights of the people to regu-
late their own affairs in their own way"
Solomon Palmer, superintendent Of edu
cation of Alabama, thinks tiat the south
will work out the solution If left free to
do so.
WANTS THE COTTON TAX REFUNDED.
Lieut. Gov. Mauldin of South Carolina
says: THE federal government can help
the south by appointing to office men of
character and capacity, by dealing gener-
ously in the matter of her internal improve
ments, and by refunding to her people the
cotton tax so unjustly collected from them.
Otherwise say let the south alone"

FATAL FALL OF A POLE.
THE WORK IN GOTHAM MARKED
BY A DEATH.

Two OF the City's Force Dragged from
Third Story Windo W by One OF
the Falling Wire Supports-One OF
the Men Killed Outright. and the
Recovery of the Other Still Uncer-
tain.
NEW York, April 1S.-The removal Of
the electric wires and poles on Sixth ave.
nue. this morning was attended by an un-
fortunate accident whereby Michael EARLY,
unmarried, aged 33, of Brooklyn, a liueman
employed by the department of public
works, and Hugh Reilly. aged 81, mar
ried man with a wife and three children.
living at No. 33S East Fortieth street, were
both dragged from a window of the third
story of No. 3S7 Sixth avenue by rope at
tached toa falling pole, Early being in
stantly killed and Reilly seriously injured.
The men are both linemen in the
bureau Of encum brances and were
engaged in staying pole that was being
cut down when the accident occurred.
When the pole was chopped off at the
bottom the base slid along the sidewalk,
throwing the top out and pulling both men
from the window.
TERRIBLY CRUSHED.
Early's body Yves picked up In a terribly
crushed condition and was removed to the
Thirtieth street police station, while Reilly
was taken to the New York hospital Both
bones of his leg were found to be broken
below the knee. Several of the smaller
bone of his right foot were also fractured.
In addition to this there was a severe con-
fusion of the back and lacerated
scalp wound. The surgeon be-
hyyes that there is possibility
of the spine having been fractured If this
is SO the chances for his recovery are not
good. The accident occurred at rs o'clock
this morning and caused great excitement
in the neighborhood.
WORK RESUMED.
After the removal of the body of the
dead man and the departure of the ambu-
lance with his comrade the work of remov-
ing the wires went on as usual. The other
gang continued the work that was being
prosecuted on Broadway yesterday, the
companies gangs keeping ahead of the
mayors men and trying to save their wires
as far as possible.
TWO ARRESTS.
Contractor Busby and Inspector Roth.
who we're in charge Of the work on Sixth
avenue, and under whose instructions EARLY
and Reilly were working when the accident
occurred, were arrested and taken to the
Jefferson market police court Both men
stated that the occurrence was purely acci-
dental and could not have been avoided.
James O'Brlen, witness Of the accident,
testified that the pole was heavy
enough to have pulled the whole side of
the house out and that Roth had been told
so by some of the men. The witness told
the judge he would not have undertaken
what Early and Reilly were asked to do for
any consideration. Other evidence was
given to the effect that Roth was himself
holding the guy rope, and that letting go
of the rope caused the falling of the pole
wi the above fatal result. Busby was
discharged and Roth was turned over to
the coroner's office.
