Pafafo PlnWs.

Much has been said in past seasons by the various agricultural writers about the work of potato diggers. Most of what was said referred to the expensive machines that are beyond the reach of the small growers. Rural New Yorker has of late held correspondence with farmers who use potato blows of various designs. These tools are made and sold under different patents, though they all work on essentially the same principle. The potatoes are thrown out of the ground by means of a contrivance like two blows, one right and the other left, placed together so as to throw the earth in both directions. Above these blows are fastened long bars. The earth is to fall through the bars, while the potatoes are supposed to roll of to the ground.

A box containing the body of a dead man, addressed to the coroner at Tempe, was brought in on the train Sunday afternoon. A letter which accompanied the body, explained that it was put on board the train at Gila station and that the remains were those of J. E. Banner, it is also stated that the deceased had come on horse back to Gila station on Saturday from Maricopa, where he had been confined to his bed for several days. Banner told Mr. NJ. M. Steward, the keeper of the station, that he had started from Casa Grande to go to Gila Bend, had been drinking, fell off his horse and laid out all night. He was found and taken to Maricopa. He died at Gila station at 5 o'clock Saturday evening, Justice DeBow summoned a jury which found that death had resulted from natural causes. The remains were inferred in the butte cemetery Monday.-Tempe News.

Judge Kibbey yesterday rendered an important decision in the case of Pinal and Maricopa counties vs. the Phoe- nix & Maricopa railroad company. Masten refused to pay taxes on the line that is laid across the Pima h. dians reservation, claiming that the counties had no authority to assess a road across such reservation. Judge Kibbey's decision is logical and sensi- ble, the Judge holding that the rail road must pay, reasoning that the road could be sued for damages resulting from injury on such reserve, and the company could sue and collect for hauling freight across the reservation, hence it must be governed by the same rules as the balance of the easement or right of way. This decision will cover into gthe treasury of Maricopa county some 4,500 and nearly like sum for Pinal.-Phenix Gazette.

Stage Held Up.

The down stage for Casa Grande on Thursday morning was held up by a masked Mexican between the Mcclellan wash and the Casa Grande ruins and Wells, Fargo & Co.'s express box taken and rified. Nothing else was molested. From the telegraphic re- port sent back it appears that George Cumine was the driver and Dr. J H. Hurley the only passenger. The stage was halted by the highwaymar and the express box demanded. He laid down his gun to receive the bo1 from the driver and then deliberately broke it open; returned the empty box, picked up his gun and disap peared in the brush. The box con tained little of value.

La Grippe-A Few Pointers.

Persons who have a cold are much more likely to take the influenza or so called, Ia grippe.
 It is much more severe when accom- panied by cold.
 The most critical time is when re- covering from the disease, as slight exposure will often cause relapse and that IS almost certain to end in lung fever or pneumonia.
 The feet should be kept dry and warm, the body well clothed and care used to avoid exposure.
 The bowels should be kept regular and persons physically weak should take quinine to keep up the vitality. With these precautions and free use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy a prompt recovery is reasonably cer- tain. That remedy is unequalled for a severe cold and this disease requires precisely the same treatment. For sale by Thos F. Weedin.

 Trench blowing is called subsoil blow ing by many who should know better. Prairie Farmer defines the two modes so clearly that, with the aid of the illustra- tions appended, the difference cannot fail to be understood.
 Trench blowing is the inversion of one furrow directly over another, by one "deep tiller" blow following directly in the track of more shallow working blow. These are now made to act at one operation. The manner of laying the furrows is shown in the cut, Fig. 1. Three strong horses will do the work, if placed abreast, about as well as four hitched two abreast. in the usual way.

 The undertaking is a big one, but the results that will follow will make it one of fgreatimportance to Pinal county and Arizona. When it is remembered that the soil all through the region reached by water from such a reservoir is of the richest quality; that fruits of all varieties, hay, grain, and produce can be cultivated with little effort; that such an expanse of country divided in- to vineyards, orchards and farms, will support in comfort rural population of more than one handred and fifty thousand people, and an equal num- Der in cities and towns; that in a few years its products would be shipped throughout the United States, and, more important still, that an under taking like the one contemplated, if successfully carried through, would be the beginning of the end of the desert land question in Arizona, standing as incontrovertible evidence of what can be made of the territory's so called desert lands if measures are taken on large scale to utilize her natural water supplies-when all this is re- membercd, the importance of this con- templated undertaking in its ultimate bearing on Arizona, and it's interests can hardly be overestimated. It is to be hoped that those who have this matter in hand will use their utmost efforts. to carry it through.

What Judge Kibbey really decided yesterday in the mechanics lien case of Blinn Lumber Company vs Moni- han was that when a contract IS let to erect a building, say for 10000, the aggregate of valid liens that can be filed against the building by subcon- tractors, materialmen and laborers can not exceed that contract price. This afternoon argument was heard on the amounts due claimants, where the liens did in fact exceed such contract price. MT.

 Quite number of the young peo- pie enjoyed the doubtful luxury of a hand car ride as far as the canal cross ing on the railroad few evenings since. Pumping on the handles is good exercise but the after effects are not quite so agreeable. If you don't believe me ask Wood Porter or Tom Love.
 Work on the laterals to the canal still continues and work will go on without interruption until the com pletion of the present plans. A con siderable head of water is flowing down the canal at present. In fact more than can be used and much of it running of through the waste ditches. It is believed that the completion of this gigantic enterprise, while reflect ing much credit on the promoters, marks the commencement of an era of increased prosperity for all of the country west of the canal and indirect ly of Pinal county. With an abund- ance of water, sufficient for present purposes, the promise of several i'm portant business investments, pros pect of steady and continued immigra- ton, and settlement of vacant lands, Casa Grande and Florence must inc vitably gather an abundant harvest.
 Work and improvement at all the mining camps still continues and there is a steady movement about mining affairs that augurs well for the future.
