The attention of our officials is
called to the fact, that many boys
IN town, seem to think that the
railroad trains passing through
here, are run for the express pur-
pose of furnishing them means of
gymnastic exercise. Whenever
there is train underway, boys are
seen jumping on and off, not only
violating the law, but endangering
their own lives. The railroad COM
pany is anxious to have the boys
stopped in this dangerous practice,
and probably few arrests would
prove an effective stopper"

In another column we publish the
recommendations made by Governor
Lewis Wolfey in his supplemental
report to Secretary Noble, to save the
Desert Land Law. The Governor
states his suggestions in a clear and
logical way, which carries conviction
at once. The suggestions that he
makes are good and if adopted will
soon settle up every acre of arabic
land in Arizona. The entire Terri
tory will unite in heartily endorsing
Governor Woldey's stand on this
question, which is Of such Importance
to Arizona, meaning as it does ad-
dltional prosperity for all.

The work in the garden is mostly done
In the spring, and the seed is carefully
planted. the ground kept clean. the early
crops taken of and the ground abandoned
to weede One of the most unsightly
objects is a plot of ground overgrowD
with weeds, and as the garden plot is
usually made rich the weeds grow very
rank and soon mature. As they are
above ed to die down, and ground cleared
off the next spring, the result is that the
ground is so covered with seeds that it is
almost impossible to eradicate the weeds
the succeeding year. Leaving the garden
In such condition also affords excellent
opportunities to insects of all kinds, and
the draw backs, are, therefore, multiplied

A Case of Premature Burial.

A gendarme was buried alive the
other day i'm a village near Grenoble.
The man had become intoxica.e ed on
potato brandy, and fell into profound
sleep. After twenty hours passed in
slumber his friends considered him to
be deaf. pa ticularly as his body as
sumed the usual rigidity of a corpse.
