San Pedro.

MT. Bruce Aldrich and Gen'l Royal A. Johnson returned Wednesday night from trip to the Inter-Ocean Cattle Co. ranch, on the north side of the San ia Catalina mountains. There was a heavy rain and snow storm there on Tuesday, which will prove of incalcula- ble benefit to the stock interests, as the ground has been well saturated with moisture and the snowfall will not probably all melt for two or three days yet.
 The stock is all in excellent condi- ton. The stock men in the valley have sold from three to four thousand cattle to Holt. of Montana, who will ship them from Wilcox north.
 MT. Aldrich says the stock interests in the San Pedro section of country are in very prosperous condition.-Citi- zen.

TIE bill introduced in congress by c. P. Wickha.n, of Ohio, designed to speedily settle the Spanish and Mexi- can land grant claims, possesses some features that will invoke the bitterest hostility of the claimants of large grants, although they are strongly in favor of the people and the settlers. His bill provides for the establishment of a United States land court with au- thority to investigate and settle pri- vate land claims in Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona. It also provides that "when the description of land shall require the location to be ascer- tained by mountain ranges, mountain tops, forests and lakes, or natura
 objects whereby, or by any description thereof, the quantity of land in sucf
 grant. or concession is uncertain, saiC
 court shall declare and judge sucf
 grant or claim void except as to tha
 part of land in such grant in actua
 possession of grantee or his assignee
 or legal representatives at the dates c
 treaties or sessions" Petitions are re quired to be made to the court within
 three years and q failure to compl , with the original conditions of tn clant invalidates the claim. No COT , firmation shall be made for any clair r exceeding eleven square league 1, These restrictions will serve to brin r all claimants speedily before the coul
 and the interests involved will be s
 greatly curtailed that contingent g participation in the fruits oi n conte d will not be sufficiently large to swerN - the plumb-line of justice.

TIE exodus from Oakland to the mountains of the religious fanatics who profess belief in the prophecy of one of their number that @ terrible convulsiou of nature will destroy San Francisco and other adjacent cities next Monday, is really taking place, and quite a crowd of converts have packed up their valuables and taken the train for the Sierra Nevadas to escape the wrath to come" Their agony will not have long to endure and they will return next week wiser and poorer than they left.

IT scarcely requires the authority I of the holy writings to confirm ones belief that "a little leaven leaveneth the whole loai," for if the leaven be good one need not go beyond ones own kitchen to demonstrate the fact.
 TIE ENTERPRISE, actuated by the ne-
 cessities of the situation, has injected
 into the political loaf a little Of the
 leaven of economy, and the evidence
 of its active principles is observable
 in the various portions of the Terrilo-
 ". Even the county of Yuma, that
 has been long regarded as the pocket borough of few individuals, is awak-
 ening to the impulse of the new order
 of things, if the Times represents at all
 the public sentiment of that place.
 Upon this subject it very frankly
 states that "to man up a tree, the
 large number of officials at this time
 found necessary for the government of
 Yuma county, appears absurd,
 reminding one of the country militia
 company where every other man was
 an officer. If practicable, and, in some instances, it undoubtedly IS, grouping of offices would greatly les sen current expenses. We believe in the policy of making every office sal - aried and the collected fees to be turned over to the county treasurer. Consolidate the duties of Sheriff and 9 Assessor; the Treasurer and Tax Col. 7 Ilector; the Under-Sheriff and Jailor ; ' the Recorder and Clerk of the Board - of Supervisor; and the Probate Judge, Superintendent of Public Schools and n Clerk of the District Court. Allow a fair annual compensation to each n but no more; do away with percent 'e ages on collections, and see that close 0 economy is practiced in every quarter j. This matter is important and should Is be agitated SO that the representative from this county to the next Legs u lature may take action at the prope !. time. Our suggestion, probably vii 'u not meet with the appreciation u politicians for revenue only, but Yum pr county was not organized, nor should II it be run, solely for their convenience g The exactions of these gentry throug o- twenty years or more, have brough e' our fair county to her present hl 'e' initiating financial condition. It n' time that the people themselves tax p- hand and we believe, before man us months have passed the existin oi methods will be radically changed fC ny the better" This is certainly moN 'h- in the right direction and will develo 'ee something of good to the taxpayer 'ro but it should be supplemented wit ls the earnest effort to carry the san o principle into our territorial affai Ile by the selection of upright, capab io and economical men to the next legi 'n' lature upon an independent platfor 'iii pledged to carry out these reform

Perfectly Feasible.

Chief Engineer Stanton, of the Den yer, Colorado Canyon x Pacific k. R., reached the Needles safely, with his | surveying party, and went to Denver for two weeks rest, arriving there last Thursday. Below Peach Springs his boat dashed against rocks, he was thrown overheard, sucked under the water to a great depth by the whirl- pool he encountered, and finally res cued fifty feet below the point where he sank. The life-preservers, however, worn by the men, saved them from the fate of President Brown and two others who were drowned last summer. Engineer Stanton's party is the first to go through the Grand Canyon since Major Powell made the trip 20 years ago. Mir. Stanton considers railroad down the Colorado perfectly practic- able. From Junction, Colo, to the Needles. a distance of 900 miles, the
 grade does not exceed 20 feet per mile
 and generally is not over five or ten feet. The curvature is very light.
 Between the junction of the Grand
 and the Green rivers and the lower end of the Grand Canyon there are
 52O rapids. From Peach Springs to
 Grand Wash is the sublimest canyon
 scenery known to him. -Phenix Herald

Chief Engineer Barry, of the North and South road, came down here Saturday to testify in the water case. He has made railroad reconnaissance from Prescott to Congress mine, about 50 miles, and finds the route easier than was originally supposed. No tunnels, practically, will be necessary. When Diamond Joe was at Congress, about one month ago, he gave orders to push work. Engineer Barry will do so and extend his survey till con nection is made with the line run from Phenix via Peoria to New river, last fall. He leavs tomorrow. After five years in mild Phenix, he found it pretty tough to wade ankle deep in snow and sleep on a blanket that froze to the ground while operating about Hassayamp's head waters.-Phenix Herald.

While the land owners of the Salt and Gila river valleys are engaged in as to the nature of the most profitable crop that can be rais- ed, it seems somewhat strange that the culture of cotton has not received greater attention from them. It has been pretty thoroughly demonstrated that with no outlet to a convenient market the raising of alfalfa and grain is proftless. The same may be said of small fruits raised, the exception, probably being grapes and apricots, and possibly oranges, lemons and olives, although experiments in the culture of the last three articles are yet in their infancy, and while the prospects are favorable for success, they have not yet been demonstrated beyond doubt Experiments in a small way have also been made in raising cotton and so far as tested proved satisfactory but of late years nothing has been heard of anything further being done. It seems that all
 the conditions of soil and climate are favorable to the successful raising o
 this staple and if engaged in extensive
 ly would no doubt yield large profits

So far, the Times learns that six candidates will make the fight for the Sherif's position, four for the Legis- Iative Council, one for the Assembly, two for Treasurer, two for Supervisor, one for Recorder, three for Justice of the Peace, one for Probate Judge, and one who candidly expresses himself willing to fill any position that returns a comfortable income This IS very early in the fray and it is quite prob able that many will withdraw before election day, to be replaced by possi- ble dark horses. If present indica- tions continue as, apparently, they have begun, the mimic battle will prove an amusing one to those citizens who do not desire office. Incidentally, we will say that We can not account for the unusually large crop of candi- dates unless it is because it is general ly believed that within the coming two or three years this county will experience a boom, thus making the offices far more lucrative than the! are noy.-Yuma Times.
