Getting Ready.

NIT. A. Y. Grossetta has several men at work on his ranch, north of the one and half mile. preparing the ground for planting twenty acres in fruit trees and grape vines, in addition to what he already has. He has tie trees and vines already ordered and is expecting their arrival almost daily. The trees coming consist of 70 trees of various kinds of ap
 pies, peaches, plums, apricots, etc, etc. and 1909 grape vines of different varie- t.es. When these are planted Mir. Gros- setta will have forty acres in fruit, of the best kinds to be secured. He plant ed last year over 10O0 trees, all of which eXcept..a few destroyed blythe the rabbits, have tiourished nicely, and are now healthy and in fine condition. By the way.a rabbit fence has been built around the entire forty acres, and now "bunny'' has to feed on the outside among the mesquite and grease woods such as he IS used to. Mir. Grossetta has two wind-mills, and a water tank built of solid masonry also pumping plant to be used when the wind is not sufficient to run the mills when water is needed
 NIT. Grossetta has spent a large amount of money on this ranch, but he has demonstrated what can be done on barren mesas, such as surround Tucson for miles and miles in every direction. He will have paradise in a few years. where he can retire with his family and friends and enjoy every luxury of life, when so inclined. The example set by Mir. Grossetta is worthy of imitation by others. His energy and progressive spirit are of the kind that will pull com munities out of the poke -easy, sleepy. slumbering path of do-nothing, and set them in the broad road where travel none but the progressive and active.

A Simple Remedy,

The following remedy for influenza is taken from the San Francisco Bulletin and was furnished by a man, who had experience with the prevailing disease 45 years ago in Australia:
 When the patient IS first attacked with the symptoms, which are a chilli ness accompanied with sneezing, bathe the extremities we'll in hot water and mustard, rub the neck and chest with turpentine and sweet oil, place thick flannel over them and go to bed Should the disease, as is usual between midnight and morning, develop to such an alarm ing degree as to endanger the life of the patient by suffocatiOn, then have kittle of boiling water handy and the head of the sufferer over the hot stream and let him inhale it through the mouth and nOstrils being careful, how ever, not to hold the face close enough to scald the patient. In few moments relief will come and the sufferer will be enabled to breathe freely and the chan ces for recovery be greatly augmented

Growing in Favor.

The Fl Paso Bullion says: The min ing business seems to be growing slow ly but surely in favor among eastern capitalists. If the business could only forever bury or eleminate the mining shark, it would at once become, not on ly one of the favorites, but the leading industry of the nation. Unfortunately however the shark will continue to live and do business as long as there are mines to sell or suckers to be taken i2. The misrepresentations of these ir- responsi ble and interruptions dealers, cause monied men to shrink from legiti- mate investments and thus prevent the investment of large amounts of capital in legitimate mining. However, ifithose seeking investments in mines would use the same precaution and business judge ment that is used in other business en- the occupation of the shark would soon be gone, and mining would soon prove to be equally safe and more profitable than any other business.

THE potato story from Phenix is the largest yet put in print. The story, says farmer (name not given) dug 300 pounds of potatoes from one hill. This hill of potatoes at the retail price would be worth Sl5.00. An acre of such hills. allowing that they be planted three feet apart, would yield over 3,OOOOOO pounds of potatoes, which at the retail price would bring over S9O,OOO. The Salt River Valley is wonderful when in comes to producing that upon which man and beast may subsist, but we are strongly inclined to believe that the hill of po- tatoes spoken of was away above the average.

AGRICULTURAL LANDS.

Millions of acres of the most perma- nently valuable lands for agricultural purposes, now unoccupid, are in Arizona. Among those of almost everlasting rich ness one may cite those along the Color ado river. Every acre bordering on that stream is composed of the .richest al luvial soil formed by overflow. We venture the opinion that of many tracts along the Colorado, Ethat by irrigation by the water of that stream, the land could be annually cultivated for cen tury with little or no reduction of pro ductions and without fertilization. The land has been enriched by washings from the adjacent mountains, and this source of fertility will continue. We don't know the exact extent of these rare lands, but there is sufficient to sup port an immense population. All the expense necessary is that of water, and the Colorado is an everlasting source of supply which needs but little labor and capital to irrigate the adjacent lands. Anything grown in the troplc and temperate zones can be there pro- duced, and the seasons are so regular in the territory, that loss Or damage in gathering crops could rarely occur ex- cept by negligence. Compared to the labor and cash required to prepare land for cultivation in a majority of the older states, these items on the Colorado river lands would be insignificant, and these remarks apply with equal force to the lands along the Gila and Salt rivers, as also those on the Santa Cruz, San Pc dro and other streams.

THERE should be many bidders for the money to be offered by the Building and Loan Association on Saturday night. There are large number who own stock in the association who, with its aid, can better afford to build them selves a home than they can offord to pay rent. The association is for the purpose of building homes for those who are not in any other way able to build them. Itenables a man to pay for his house with no great outlay than is re- quired for rent, and rent will never end until home is secured. Many of the young men of the association have al ready secured lots on which to build houses next spring. and the indication now is favorable for strong demand for building and loan money in the near future with premiums correspondlngly high. The Tucson Building and Loan Association has already done more for Tucson than any institution ever organ ized within its limits. It has built many houses, the owners of whom are now paying their monthly rents into thelr own pockets and the landlord has become a stranger to them forever; it has enabled others to improve their property, on most favorable terms; and others to unburden themselves of 115 and 2-per-cent-a-month mortgages, and to see their way through what, without the timely aid of the Building and Loan Association, might have engulfed them in bankruptcy; they pay now less than the interest formerly amounted to and they have the blessed assurance that when theprincipal reaches maturity it will be marked PAID.

The storm passed north from there, thence northwest to Clinton and Wickliff. The path of the storm is about quarter of mile wide, and 1t left track of fallen timber through the forest. The first house it struck in Clinton was the section house of the H. inois railroad, occupied by John Rhodes and family, which was torn to splinters and Rhodes and two children instantly killed. The house of Samuel Gaddies was blown down and afterwards Gaddies 5. as found dead under the debris with his infant in his arms and Cnhurt.

While in the cor ridor deputy sheriff made a tour of the jail but did not observe them as they slid behind the woodpile. They took their turns in digging their way through the outside wall. Breslin says, so far as he knows, none of the party had money or weapons, and he himself had been

ST. LOUIS Globe-Democrat: The ar gument of the Sioux chiefs in favor of the removal of the Indian schools at Hampton and Carlisle in the Indian coEnlry deserves the attention of Con gress. It is a notorious fact that the graduates of said schools are not fitted for any useful service among their peo- pie, but return home only to drift back to the blanket condition. If the schools were at the Indian agences the effect of their instruction would undoubtedly be more beneficial.

JURY REFORM.

Why should the verdict of jury be
unanimous?
We hear it said frequently that the
Jury system is failure. and we know
that millions Of the peoples money is
spent annually to pay jufies, for services
that amount to nought, and largely be-
cause Of the unit system.
Why not incorporate the three-fourths
majority rule into the jury system in all
cases?
In all the most important concerns of
life, in this, as well as in every Other
civilized country, the majority rule is in
voked, except in criminal cases.
The Constitution Of the United States,
and that Of the various States, the
Naturalization laws, the Homestead and
Presumption laws, the Revenue laws, the
demonstration of silver in 1873, the
silver legislation had in Congress last
Summer, and the Mckinley Tariff bill,
for examples. were all made to exist by
the majority rule.
The individual being part of the
Country, why should not the individual
be governed by the same rule as the
body is which is composed of individu-
ais.
1t frequently happens, in criminal
cases, that Mr. Wiseaker has more power
