Booths Platform.

Dr. James P. Booth carries this legend at the mast head of Booths Bazoo: For United States Senator, Stephen NJ. White, of Los Angeles, against whom the only charges are that he is native born and educated at a Roman Catholic school" We have no especial preference for MT. White but we think 1t bad taste, scant charity, and mighty poor politics, to ob- ject to any man in the country because of his religion, whether Catholic or Pro testant. Some papers for example the San Francisco Argonaut, carry stock in trade of ofexpletives, revilings, aspersions, and calumniations which they hurl at everything Catholic presumably because it pays them to do so. There Is no more noble band none more self sacrificing than the Sisters, and the Catholic priest hood and laity boast as good citizens and broad minded men as are found in any other sect. Papers and individuals who pride themselves upon their Ameri- canisms, do themselves wrong by so violently attacking these who may differ with them. The charge that Catholics owe an allegiance to the Pope before their country, we do not think can be sub stantiated.

A Fresno Fusilade.
Phenix Republican.

A Fresno paper attacks Judge Kibbey's decison in the recent Chinese habeas cor pus case. An ex-Democratic judge of this district lives near Fresno. The poor taste and absence of ability displayed on the bench by him here, amply account for that papers present uniustifiable and al together inaccurate criticism. Judge Kibbey decided the case on new point ill practice, and that was the expressed declaration of the Chinamen's counsel, in his pleadings, that they deliberately vio- lated our statutes by unlawfully invading this country Judge Kibbey took the common sense view that persons thus Haunting deliberate lawlessness in his face. could not come into his court for any purpose. It was like ruffians tearing the statute book to pieces and then ask ing that its laws be enforced for his bene- fit The decision was so manifestly ac- cording to plain, every day reason that the Chinese lawyers in San Francisco never ventured to call 1t up again before Judge Sawyer, The application for habeas corpus there was based on different grounds, and was denied as promptly as in Judge Kibbey's court The latter has now been about one year upon the bench. His ability and fairness have won such general recognition that the envious pre- decessor who would If possible deface his fair record, is compelled to hunt news paper outside the Territory that will first print his senile munbiings. Judge Kib- bey gan never be injured by winnings from former pretended judge whose Demo cratic party associates were tlrst to wave
 their hats at his removal. as they are be lieved to have led when that travesty on justice was hung in effigy

OLIVE CULTURE.
THE VIEWS OF A CALIFORNIA FIX.
 PERT.
New Varieties Growing in This S.ate--Hi Notes on the Growth and Behavior
 of Sixteen Varieties.

A Washington dispatch of August 22nd says: The department of agriculture has issued a number of bulletins showing the record of experiments in agriculture at the different stations that have been es- abolished throughout the country. At the California station experiments have
 been conducted for some time on five olive varieties The following is q brief introduction by Director Hilgartl of tbis station on an elaborate report by w q klee, who has been managing the experi- ments: "The increasing prominence of olive culture in this state gives innor- tance to all light that can be thrown upon the subject, the more so as the slow growth of the trees renders mistakes made in the selection of varieties both costly and diff cult of rectltication. It Is, therefore, the
 intention of the station to subject both the growing trees and the fruit and its products to the most thorough compara- tive observation and investigation as quickly as the material shall be obtain able. In the meantime the observations or MT. hlee are of sufficient practical i'm poftance to justify their publication at the present time.
 Some have the impression tliat the oil of the kernel or pit forms a considerable GAoPCiUiOA Ol tiS piOtlucI, put the 1nVeS- tlgatlon of this point made by L. Papa relh upon the common olive of central Italy, showed this proportion to be as one to thirty, while in the Mission olives, not ed for the rarity of sound kernals. the proportion was found by A. D. Sommer of the university as l to 162 Hence to the oil maker as well as to the consumer of pickled fruit, the data given will be of some interest. The account of the ob- 1 servations made by Mr. Klee relates to number of varieties of olives during several years.
 This IS, of course, only the beginning of observations which will be continued for years to come. Nearly all of the va retles enumerated are now growing at ] four different experiment stations, name | ly, Berkeley, Paso Robles, Jackson and | Tnlare. Those at Berkeley were planted !! five years ago, while those at the other | stations were set out only a year ago, and | thus afford but few data of value Ob- | servations of the varieties growing on the | grounds of the California nursery at | Niles, and at the Fancher Creek Nursery. Fresno, were also made through the | courtesy of their respective managers"
 The tabular record gives record for six teen different varieties, their age at plant | ing, whether cuttings or gratis, diameter of stem or crown, height and habit of | growth and bearing at Berkeley and else | where. Notes of measurements of fruits, | etc, are also given for thirteen varieties | and notes on the growth and the general | behavior for eleven varieties.

Advancing and Prog1essin
Pheuix Gazette

The press of the territory takes oeca- sion to congratulate this section upon the evident progress now being made, and felicitates Phenix in the assumptiont that 1t is having good times. iI one sense this Is true; in the common acceptance of the term 1t Is not. The Salt river valley is enjoying an increase of business and a substantial growth, but it is not founded upon any temporary excitement, or en- thusiastic and extrayagant speculation. On the contrary, the influx of people, and the capital being invested, is due to a more thorough knowledge abroad of our resources. It is founded upon the experi- ence of others; upon an appreciation of facts long since demonstrated, and also upon 6 more thorough utilization of the waters of our streams to the reclamation of what has heretofore been considered waste lands Through the local press; through the publications of the commis- sioner of immigration, as well as those of private. corporations, this information has been conveyed to communities beyond the limits of our territory. Thus have the eyes of thQse seeking homes in the far west, as well as the attention of investors, been directed, in a measure to the Salt river valley. Our representations have not been extravagant, our advantages have not been magnified, and as result, the persons coming here to make investigations for themselves are more than pleased. We are having no phenomenal rush; no schemes of the Colonel Sellers order have been matched up, but the opportunities so long untouched, are now being made, and as result we are advancing safely and steadily. The truth is that the develop ment of this section is not likely to be brought to degree of perfection in the next twenty years In the possibilities that are afforded in the storage of water in our mountains, by which millions of acres of the richest soils of our deserts may be re- claimed, exist alone generation of study, industry and enterprise, We covet no mushroom boom" It is the intelligent careful and industrious efforts of people which build great cities, and make healthy and prosperous communities,

The Globe Stage Route.

No sooner had the road up Kane spring canon, between Riverside and Globe, been repaired ere another violent storm washed down great boulders into it ren- dering it impossible and as bad if not worse than before. The Gila river at Riverside also rose to such night that the ferry cable was loosened from it's moorings and was swept away, thereby stopping all travel. The old boat at that ford was deemed insecure and J. l.. T. Walters, the mail contractor, had a new one built in Florence by c. w. Tillman, this week He started with it Wednes- day afternoon, took it to Riverside, ferried over three days mail and brought back q like amount, and reached Florence Thurs day morning in time to forward the mail that day. This may be termed good and effective work, for which MT. Walters de serves great credit.
 During the past week Mir. Walters has met and overcome many obstacles to the transmission of Globe mails, and has un- dergone many personal hardshlps and dangers to get the mails through on time He contemplates erecting a strong cable and-car ferry at Riverside by which the river can be crossed at all times and with out danger. He seems to be not only q most enterprisiDg man, but one of un daunted courage and resources, and no ordinary obstacles will prevent his carry ing out to the letter his mail contract.

A RAILROAD.
FOR A FEASIBLE ROUTE
 THROUGH FLORENCE.
The Mineral Belt Road to he Built to the Gila Valley-A Grade Over the Pi- nals Wanted---A Look at
 the Country en
 Rnuta.

Last Saturday there arrived in Flor ence Major D. M Riordan. manager of the great lumber company at Flagstaff, accompanied by Major G. W. Vaughn and w. Howe, civil engineers, and G. Bowers, who are travelling over the proposed route of the Mineral Belt railroad from Flag staff to southern Arizona. They met a friendly greeting here and were at once waited upon by the visiting committee of the Chamber of Commerce, who rendered them every available source of informa- ton and escorted them about the valley to investigate its resources and possibili- ties
 Mai Riordan stated that the road could be built and that abundant capital was ready to back the proposition pro vided a suitable route could be selected through country which could produce enough business to guarantee a fair rate of interest on the investment. It was was deemed advisable to touch Globe or closely approach it, and from that point make a descent into the Gila valley. A practicable route was thought to exist by coming from Globe by way of Bloody Tanks, the hog ranch on the summit of the Finals, down through Shady Run and Mineral Greek to the Gila river near Riv- erside, and this route is doubtless the on ly available one for road.
 The party left Florence for Riverside on Sunday morning under the guidance of M. M. Rice, who is well acquainted with the country between this valley and Globe, with the intention to take saddle horses at that place and proceed over the route. The Gila river was found to be unfordable, and the party therefore went to Dudleyville and proceeded to San Car los and then to Globe, while MT. Rice re- turned with the saddle horses to town and went by way of the Silver King trail to Globe to meet them there, when the route will be carefully inspected.
 Major Vaughn is connected with the construction department of one of the great trunk lines of railway and his obser- vations are now in the direct interest of the Utah Southern road which will be ex- tended to Flagstaff and thence southward. He is a careful observer and has an eye not only to feasible route, but to the natural resources of the country through which he travels. He was impressed with the evident possibilities of this valley, but observed strict reticence regarding the plans he will definitely recommend in the construction of the road.
 After inspecting the country about Globe the party will pursue homeward course, travelling leisurely by their own private conveyance.

 Sunday afternoon the west bound pas senger train eolided with work train near Pantano resulting in serious injuries to seven men on the work train. It ap- pears that both the passenger and the work train were moving at rapid rate of speed in opposit directions and met in a sharp curve at the stone cut just this side of the iro4 bridge. Instantly and just before the collision the air brakes of the passenger were applied which brought it to a sudden stop, and the caboose of the work train went crushing into and badly damaging the apgines of the pas senger but injurlng no ons n the train.

Dancing to Death.

The Wallapai Indians are having a grand dance near Thompson Bros ranch It is similar to the one held last year at Grass Spring, and number of Flutes are in attendance, who take an active part in the ceremonies. The Indians dance and sing until they are completely exhausted, and eight deaths have aacur- red from over exertion. This may put a stop to the foolishness, as many of the tribe are returning home although the the dance was to be continued another moon.
 A heavy ram visited this section on Thursday afternoon. The rainfall was the heaviest of the season. A heavy wind preceded the storm which blew clouds of dust. W. D. Hartleys new house was blown off the foundation. and several out houses were blown over.

Father Font, the priest who visited Casa Grande in l775 says it must have been built in the thirteenth century Father Kino, in 1649, spoke of 1t as then a ruin, and from traditional accounts given by Indians, concluded that it had then been built at least five hundred years Its dimensions, as stated, seventy feet Spanish measure, from north to south and fifty feet from east to west. The walls originally were four feet in thickness The exact measurement, as stated ill Lieutenant Emery's report in 1S4S, was three and seven tenths feet. He says il was originally five stories high, each oi which was eight feet from floor to cell ing. It was built of concrete, of which seventeen per cent. was carbonate of lime and seyenty-four of sand and matter in. soluble in hydrochloric acid

Our Climate.
Tucson Cilizen.


 The climate of Arizona is mild and saluhrious. The average temperature ranges at about p degrees. The atnlos- phere is balmy and compares with that of Southern France and the famous Ital- ian Riviera. Her mountains with their purple garments and snowy crowns re- semble the Swiss Alps Her valleys are the valleys of Palestine; of Arabia and Cashmere. An isothermal Ane drawn around the globe would lead us through sunny Spain, on the banks of the Qua dalquiver, the plains of Malaga, famous for its raisins and wines; through the providence of Seville where the olive grows and along the orange groves of historic Alhanib.q. Thie line would lead through the date palm groves Of Algeria and the valley of the Nile which boasted once to be the granary of the world. It would lead us through the fig gardens of Smyr- na the luscius fruits of Damascus, the cltrqn and pomegranate of Arabia, and the tropical rrolucts of the valley of the In dus and the Ganges. There is no bell more favored on the earth. All of 1t was arid plains until reclaimed by water What these countries have been for gen erations Arizona, can be iii the future.

Rough Experiences.

E. H. Witherel has had a rather rough experience since going east with cattle shi hipmenf in June. He had his cattle con- tracted to parties there but on his arrival found that great excitement existed over some cases of Texas fever. His cattle were placed in quarantine and held for forty days, in consequence of which he was unable to fill his contract by deliver ing them to the purchasers. In the mean time, before the cattle were released from quarantine, the market dropped, and he concluded to feed for the winter market, and all the cattle shipped by him are ac- cordingly being fed On his Kansas farm by him. He has all faith in a big rise in the market again within the next few months.

Headquarters,

Now, that the war department has dis covered the mistake made by the dem- ocratic administration in removing depart ment headquarters from Prescott to Los Angeles, and is about to again locate them within the department, it should consider favorably the proposition of relocating them here. The city hall can be had at a nominal rent for that purpose, and the place offers superior induceraents in the way of.a healthy climate. both for headquarters and the establishment oi large post for quartering troops.
