Arizona Experiment Stations.
Pacific Rural Press


 Agricultural Experiment Stations are to be located and equipped in Arizona on some such plans as adopted by Prof. Hill gard for the pursuit of the work in this State There will be the central station on the grounds of the Territorial Univer- sity at Tucson, and there will be outlying stations at various points.
 We recently had the pleasure of visit from Prof. F. A. GuIley, Director of the Stations and Professor Of agriculture in the University. He Is a young man of wide experience in experiment and in- yestigation, and thoroughly in earnest in his purpose to do everything he can for the development of the agricultural re- sources Of his new country The main station at Tucson is away from all irri- gating ditches, and it is supplying ten acres with water by means of a surface well and a centrifugal pump. It was once intend cd to sink an artesian well, but the pro- ject was abandoned as being to venture some. This ten-acre plat will be filled with specimens of all the vegetable life that are designed to be studied. with a view to their adaptation to the local eli mate and soil.
 The Phenix Herald says that 10 or 12 acre plats are desired in several parts of the Territory for the purpose of extend ing the usefulness contemplated for the work.
 In the Salt River valley, Prof. Gulley thinks that cotton will yet be a profitable crop, and intends to devote special atten- tion to the cultivation of its different varieties. Semi-tropical products of the soil will be amply eXpermented with, as well as plants of the colder north.
 We shall be glad to hear of the other sites selected for the branch stations and to aid the enterprise as soon as possible by enlsting the support and interest of our readers in that important part of the Coast

TuE report of General Grierson upon Indian and military affairs in Arizona contains recommendation that constitute the abandonment Of a policy of protection to the settlers that has been accomplish el at great expense and loss of life. The former scattered condition of the hostile Indians throughout the territory was deemed inimical 10 the peace of the peo- pie, and for this as well as economical reasons they were concentrated upon the San Carlos or White Mountain reseIva- ton. Even this plan has not effectively restrained their murderous proclivities and occasional raids have devastated the valleys of southern Arizona. To return them to their old haunts would virtually let loose these savages to prey upon the settlers, and it is retrogressive step that will be attended by the most serious con- sequences. The only practical policy in dealing with this disturbing element IS their complete removal from Arizona to some far distant locality and sooner or later this must be done. Our prisons are now being rapidly filled with crimin- als of these people and they burden our courts and our people with heavy ex- pense that the government, by retaining them in our midst, unjustly thrusts upon us They will never dwell in harmony with the whites and the friction of their contact maintains a constant enmity that is neither necessary nor fruitful of peace We do not want their presence with the contingent military force necessary tc guard them, and the sooner they are re moved the better will it be for the pros perity of our grand territory.

Corner on Nickel.

Washington telegramof October24, says: Additional results of the recent tests of armor-plate at Annapolis are still coming to light The demonstration of the superiority of the nicke!-steel alloy and the immediate appropriation by Congress of Sl ,000, GOO for the purchase of quantity of nickel with which to alloy naval steel had the effect of stirnulatino Q the nickel market to an unusual degree The Navy Department had hardly begun to inquire into the amount of nickel On the market before 1t was found that the results of the tests had been seized upon abroad with remarkable celerity, and that there was to be keen competition in a market already noted for a vigorous and steady demand. In addition there was rumor of 'corners" that were discomfort ing to the officials who had expected to get an adequate supply of the metal at fair prices.
 These facts have led to an examination of the possibilities of the United States as nickel-producing country All of the nickel used here has been produced abroad Canada being the nearest source of supply. From information coming in an unofficial way to the department, it appears, how ever, that there is probability that the metal exists in this country in considerable quantities. It is asserted that mines of great value exist in Virginia, although for obvious reasons, the persons making the assertion refuse to designate theiI location.
 Meanwhile, acting upon expert reports at least one company is organizing to develop these mines, so that the Navy Department officers are hopeful that any considerable enhancement of the market price ofnickel will be met and counteract, ed by an increased supply from domestic sources.

From Huachuca.
Tucson Star.


 G. H. Clark, of Fort Huachuca, came into town last Sunday for the purpose of looking at some property that was offered him on terms, so that, if it suited him, he could afford to improve it and dispose of 1t again at an advanced price.
 He came particularly to see the land covered by Drake's addition to this city. He proposes to divide what land he may purchase into tolerably good sized lots and bore well on each. Mr. Clark has a set of boring implements and he thinks that he could not put them to better use A good conclusion.
 In conversation with him he said he thought the character and appearance of the soil on the mesa on which this city is built, is fertile and that all it needs is but water to make it produce anything and everything" as he expressed it.
 The principal industry at Huachuca is cattle, and at this time of the year stock of all kinds is looking well and that sec tion will turn out large number of fat steers this fall for California and eastern markets.

The sentiment of the voters of the San Pedro settlements is accurately voiced by a communication, published elsewhere, from J. N. Dodson, a lifelong republican of Mammoth, and it voices a policy that argues much for the future welfare of our county and territory. Recognizing the fact that partisan domination in territorial and local affairs is no guaranty of faithful performance of official duty, MT. Dodson has temporarily cut loose from his party in the interests of good government, and he advises all similarly situated to follow his example. His action and independence , is commendable and his moral courage prompted by honest convictions, must be admired by all people who do their owr thinking,

Costly Sn Ow Sheds.
Globe Democrat.


 Few persons have any idea as to the ex- tent to which snow sheds have to be used in the West by the railroads which tra- verse the Rocky and Sierra Nevada Moun- tains. The building of these snow sheds and keeping them in repair form a large item of expense to the railroad crossing these mountains, but if 1t were not for these sheds many of the roads would be imperative during the greater portion of the winter on account of snow blockades, snow slides, etc. The snow sheds on the Southern Pacific Railroad in the Sierra Nevada Mountains alone represent an outlay offully $3000,000 to the company, and about 100000 feet of lumber were required for their erection. It cost about $2,000,000 to build them in the first place and about $l,000,000 to keep them in re- pair during the past twenty years. This is an item of expense which the Eastern roads do not have to contend with.

THE NEW ROAD.
From St. Louis to San Diego Througl
 Arizona.

From St. Louis to San Diego Through
 Arizona.
 The telegram appearing ill the press dispatches last week, told of the filing of papers of a road from San Diego to Galveston via Phenix. It would not be necessary to build road further than a connection with the St. Louis and San Francisco road which has lately been ac- quired by the Santa Fe. Of this new scheme a recent issue of the San Diego Union says that the new road will cross the Santa Fe some where in New Mexico between Socorro and Albuquerque. Thence westward it would strike the headwaters of Salt river in Arizona, through the Gila valley, through Phenix and Yuma to tide water at San Diego.
 ''The points want to emphasize for this route" says the engineer, "are these First the directness. The road would be practically an air line From New York to San Diego, passing through St. Louis, midway of the continent. the route would be 475 miles shorter than any road now running from New York to San Fran cisco.
 "Second, following the system of val leys tine grade would be lighter than any other could possibly be.

Favors Quarterly Terms.
Globe Silver Belt


 Judge J. H. Kibbey and court sten- ographer, W. L. Pinney arrived from Florence on Monday, and court was con vened immediately thereafter The bus mess of the court has dragged, owing to the protracted deliberations of the grand jury, and the fact that defendants in criminal cases, have availed themselves of the statutory time in which to plead. In view of these detentions, annoying to the Judge, jurymen and witnesses alike, and which necessitate the continuance of many cases from term to term, Judge Kibbey fayors holding quarterly terms of court which would obviate much of the trouble. Cases would then seldom re- main on the docket longer than three months before being disposed of The Judge believes that the cost to the county would be no greater than atpresent with semi-annual terms.

Nitro-GIycerine as Medicine,
Boston Herald

Boston Herald.
 Notwithstanding the nature of nitro glycerlne and the purpose to which 1t is usually put, it is medical remedy of no little value Thus far it has generally been employed in cases of heart trouble, in which a tonic effect was required. Oftentimes 1t has proved of marvellous efficacy and restored life in exceedingly desperate cases. One in point was that of boy suffering from typhoid fever. He was literally at deaths door when the remedy was applied. He was pulseless at the wrist, his extremities were cold, and he had that peculiar breathing which is so sure an indication of impending death. One drop of 1-per cent solution of nitro -glycerine was injected into each arm. Within an hour from that time the boy was warm and his recovery was practically insured" Recently there have been recorded four or five cases of poison ing by Illuminating or coal gas, which were treated with nitro -glycerine, and re- covery took place in every instance In all the cases the improvement was speedy, and the signs of it appeared within few minutes after the drug was injected under the skin,

As True as Gospel
S. F Chronicle

Another small band of Apaches from San Carlos agency is raiding along the southern border of Arizona and New Mexico. The renegades only number four, according to all accounts, but they have already murdered four white men, and the troops have been unable to get within range of them. We may expect such raids as this so long as the present loose reservation system is in force. The In dians have too much liberty, and any privilege given to an Apache is sure to be abused.

BEN HENEY, of Pima county, has re- ceived the recognition justly due him from hls party in the shape of a renomination for the position of County Treasurer, which he has filled so ably as to gain him a widespread reputation for efficiency. The democratic party in the interest of economy and reform, now so emphatic ally asked for by the people, would have shown good wisdom and better consist ency in endorsing Heney for his efficiency and integrity that have been so firmly es- tablished. We be,isse his election a cer- tainty, simply because Pima county can not afford, at this crisis, to lose the ser vices of such man.

IN HOT WATER.
New Mexico's Judge Berated for MeddlinS
 in Politics.

A Washington special dispatch to the Globe-Democrat, of October 26th says Judge A. A. Freeman. who was recently appointed Associate Justice of the Su- preme Court of New Mexico, has got into hot water "A. A. Freeman, of Ten nessee," was the way the nomination read when sent to the Senate. But Judge Freeman has really been practci- ing law in Washington for several years. His home has been across the Potomac, in Virginia. long enough to become in terested in the politics of the Alexandria district This is the district represented in Congress by w. H. F. Lee, son of Gen. Robert D. Lee, Gen. Lees renominatiOn was secured at the expense of consider able dissatisfaction in his own party. The Republicans saw an opportunity to smash the machine by quietly supporting an Independent Democrat. MT. Frank Hume, of Alexandria, and accordingly adjourned their convention at Manasses without a nomination. Several Repub- hcans of the district did not approve of this programme. They issued an address demanding that a straight-out Repnb- lican nomination be made, which would, of course, be directly in line with Gen. Lees interests. Strangely enough, Judge Freeman. notwithstanding his appoint ment and confirmation to the New Mex leo iudgeship, came forward as the leader of the straight-out faction. At the bot tom of the address Judge Freeman's name led all of tho other signers. To nominate a Republican WAS to insure Gen. Lees election, but Judge Freeman insisted that it must be done He is now in New Mexico or on his way there. Major Hine the Chairman of the Republican Convention, which decided to make no nomination, but to aid in splitting the Democratic vote, has written tart reply to Judge Freeman. In the course of it he says: It has all ways been considered of questionable propriety for members of the judiciary to take any active part in political con tests. Is it not even more so for the gentleman from Tennessee, serving in New Mexico, to attempt to nullify the ac- tion of Viginia Convention?'

TIE speech of Hon. P. R. Brady at Tucson evidently cut hard and deep into the vulnerable arlnor of his enemies, judg- ing from the ill-temper displayed by the Citizen in speaking of the affair. It even paints MT. Brady in the colors of "bully," seeking gore promiscuously among the republicans, but the docility of that gen tleman .s one of his noted characteristics. We do not apprehend any wholesale stampede of MT. Brady's supporters in Pima county as a result of the Citizens snarliDg but, on the contrary, it will only add to his popularity as such ill-natured and Illogical attacks always do.

RECORDER WILLIAMS has proved him sell a popular, competent and accom- modating official and no good reason can be advanced for not re-electing him.

Two members of the county committee took the responsibility of naming his opponent, after the convention adjourned.

A GENERAL canvass of the country gives assurances that H. V. Jackson will be our next district attorney. He is young. active, and naturally an ambi- tious man, who looks forward to an hon orable career of usefulness and -honors, and therefore his incentive to do his whole duty to the people is apparent to every thinking person. He possesses a good knowledge of the duties of the of- flee and will prove efficient under the most severe test.

LOOK out for campaign lies that are re- served until the last moment before cleo tion, when no time remains to refute them. Set down such affairs as the last efforts of desperate candidates to sway the minds of the wavering ones, and place no cre- dence in them whatever. The truth has been all told long ago and much more that is mere imagination. It is rumored that the county will be flooded with such unworthy and malicious publications upon the very eve of election, and it is well that the people should be duly warned as to their real character.
