 President Broomell is required to bring before the seciety's notice then, the sub treasury grain bill now pending in the 5lst Congress. It provides government warehouses for wheat, rye, corn, cotton and tobacco. Upon storing these pro ducts treasury receipts are to be issued for 80 per cent of their local value. The notes draw one per cent interest.
 Thus currency will be supplied when most needed. with which to move or handle the crops. All goods stored must be sold within year and the treasury notes issued agninst them must then be redeemed.
 The farmers hope in this way to protect themselves against a money stringency which now usually pinches them at the hardest times.
 Districts that have raised S500,000 of above crops for two years can invoke the aid of this bill, when finally made a law. Our local Alliance will be called on to secure an amendment extending the bills operation to barley and reducing the minimum yearly production to about S200,O00.
 The organization of such clubs is do- ing great good m familiarzing farmers with economic, industrial and fiscal laws and in enabling them to make their united action felt upon National and State legislature.
 One of our Phenix ladies had horri- ble experience last night She dreamed she was going to Phenix Park to see the lady baseball players, who are not in 1 ftr aH ha haI just placed her little girl in the horse car, when that vehicle started off with jerk, as though suddenly connected with the electric light works, leaving the mother standing alone in the mud.
 She screamed for the car to stop. But on 1t dashed without a spark of pity for her terror at losing her only child. In front of the ice factory it ran over q drunken man without waking him; simp- ly cutting him in two. At the depot turn the shrieking mother was sure the car would fly the track, dash through Mir. Logan's residence and cut her little girl perhaps with piece of broken car win dow.
 Opposite the East End school house ex- Governor Zulick was encountered bring ing in the Mormon vote from Mesa. Over him glided that enchanted car, with only the slightest jar, like shiver one feels while reading eastern election re- turns this week.
 At length the car stopped short in front of General Sherman's. It seems that the driver got into dispute with the kidnap- ped little girl about her fare. During this wrangle the ive-cent piece under discussion rolled beneath a forward wheel and stopped the car.
 The delighted mother had just time to rush mp and clasp her recovered jewel, when she awoke leaving the nickel un- claimed upon the car track.
 Mir. M. L. Smith, of Florida, who is an experienced fruit grower, is preparing to set out l6O acres of orchard and vineyard 2his winter a few miles northwest of town. Mir. Smith has spent much time and money in orange growing and the production of other fruits: has examined large tracts of fruit growing country in California and elsewhere and chooses this valley for his further operations for several reasons, some of which are the great wealth of our rich soils, the thrift of orchards growing upon them, the fav- orable climate for handling fruit, the irri- gation of our lands by which means more of the elements affecting success are con- trolled, and again the cheapness of such valuable lands which may be had for $50 per acre according to distance from town and other controlling circumstances. In deed there is much good land that may be had for S20 to $25 per acre. Mir. Smiths experience and judgment in the fruit business are worth much to people here and who intend to settle here.
 Counsellor Clarence Way returned from Yuma yesterday. At last accounts he was elected District Attorney of Yuma county by 4J majority, with one precinct to hear from. His election was brought about by the better elements of both poll tical parties. The credentials submitted by Counsellor Way from Colorado, and the high character exhibited by him dur ing his short residence in Phenix, showed that he was eminently the man to occupy so responsible a position, where integrity is as important a requisite as legal ability in both respects, We believe, Mr. Way will be found abundantly satisfactory We congratulate Yuma county on he wise action in this matter.
