SAN JOSE, June 3O.-Tomorrow the
Carpenters Union will demand the
adoption of the eight-hours' day. The
laborers of this city in that trade union

is reported this evening, and that
is of only seven men. 1t is not vet

demand $500 day for eight hours. The

(P. 8. Russell in the Riverside, Cal, Press)
 I have just returned from Florence, Arizona, and if acceptable I will give you few facts in regard to that coun- try. Casa Grande, on the s. F. rail road, one hundred and eighty miles southeast of Yuma, is the nearest sta ton to Florence, an old mining town, built on the Gila river, twenty-five miles from the railroad. There is a stage-line running daily between these two points.
 There about fifteen hundred in- habitants in the town of Florence, a good schoolhouse of five rooms, now occupied by five teachers. There is a settlement of farmers on the river bottoms for several miles in extent, up and down the river. Three years ago 8 company of capitalist from St. Louis commenced the construction of 8 canal from Florence across the mesa lands to Casa Grande. The canal is twenty-five feet on the bottom, and will carry three and half feet of wa ter when filled. About half way be tween Florence ond Casa Grande the canal runs through 8 natural reservoir of 800 acres in extent, and will holc an average depth of ten feet of water when full.
 This reservoir, as many believe, wal made by the people who lived in Ari zona in prehistoric times. Howevel that may be, it is now put to goot use. This reservoir will fill from tn, fall and winter rains running into it from what in summer are dry washe to the south of it where there is large watershed There is plenty o water from this source to fill tn reservoir independent of the cana above. This supply of water will nor than double the capacity of thi canal.
 There lies under the flow of thi canal about 130,OOO acres of govern ment land (no grants) but most all 0 it has been filed upon under the deser act in section lots, but most of it an told, will go back to the governmen in a few months, and can again b filed upon under any of the land law: as one may choose.
 Now it is not claimed that there water enough for all of these land. but there is water enough for a larg settlement. Water rights can be Ina on easy terms,-one-fifth down; ba ance in payments up to five years
 They sell one cubic foot per secon (about fifty inches) per quarter sectio at eight dollars per acre above tn reservoir and twelve dollars below, c in small amounts in the same propo ton. The canal intersects the raj road about nine miles above Gas Grande station.
 The lands under the flow of the c. nal are similar in character of soil |

 and, for aught I can see, are just {
 good for all kinds of fruit. There al some orange and lemon trees now full bearing in Phoenix. Also som

 The Southern Pacific railroad has always felt it necessary to control with their paid agents, at least one branch of the Arizona legislature. Congress by her laws has made the delegate to Congress the imported officials of the territories, and the Indians chronic beggars under emotional government.

 The manner of hitching three horses abreast will be of interest to many. Fig. shows how this may be done. If the horses are steady, the simplest manner or working three horses abreast is to tether the middle horse to the two out side ones by suitable lengths of cord at tached to the bits. The team is driven by line running to the outside of the bit of the near and another to that of the of horse.
 Subsoil blowing proper is running a peculiar share, called subsoil blow, inn mediately in the furrow turned by a deep tiller blow. In the deep tiller blow the mold board has more lift than the usual stubble blow. This blow may turn the furrow preceding the subsoil blow. The subsoiler has no mold board. It simply breaks up the bottom of the fur row, leaving the disintegrated soil mere ly raised up, to be covered by the next furrow.
 In regard to the question of subsoiling as means of retaining moisture in the soil, the authority quoted says very truly that there is no doubt of it's value in all compact loams or clays. It allows the rainfall to settle directly into the soil, and to sink deeply below, to be given back gradually, as wanted. In gravelly,

Russian Influenza.

Almost every one is now interested in knowing the proper treatment for this disease. According to the best au- thorities it requires precisely the same treatment as severe cold, and it Is generally known that there is nothing better for severe cold than Chamber lain's Cough Remedy taken as direct ed. Extreme care should be taken to keep the feet dry and warm, the body well clothed and to avoid exposure, especially when recovering from the disease, and to keep up the vitality. Persons physically weak should take tonics to keep up their strength. It is also important that the bowels be kept regular. No ordinary case is likely to require any further treatment than this to insure complete recov- cry. For sale by Thos. F. Weedin.

THE BUTTES RESERVOIR.
If Constructed, Will Furnish Irrigation for Over One-Fourth of Pinal
 County.

 FLORENCE, Ariz, Jan. 26, 1890.
 So much is being written and said these days in regard to reclamation of desert lands and feasible methods of procuring and utilizing water supply, that the details of contemplated Pinal county enterprise may be of in terest to the public. There are already 1l75 miles of canal in the county, reaching 91,6O0 acres of land; but there are still nearly a million acres capable of reclamation and from pres ent indications the largest portion of 1t will be utilized at no distant day and become the garden of fruitfulness that supply of water Is capable of making 1t.
 Fifteen miles east of Florence, at point on the Gila called the Buttes, United States surveyors have been at work for the past two months prepar- ing statistics for reports upon the practicabiEty of constructing an i'm mense reservoir at that point to contain sufficient water for the irrigation of 92I 500 acres of land. From Engineer w. A. Nc Ginnis' report, made some time ago, we learn that on each side of l the river three buttes rise high enough to permit of dam being constructed :. 200 feet high that will form natural reservoir extending back over twenty miles and containing. by calculation from his figures, 36,OOO, ,0O0OO0 cubic feet of water capable of supplying a canal carrying 100000 miners inches of water for period of over 25O days: and this exclusive cf the constant river supply. He also found in the immed fate vicinity rock and sand of the first quality and inexhaustible quantities for the construction of the dam. At both ends of the location, quarries of fine stone can be opened on level with the top of the dam, thereby saving the expense of raising and hauling. It has also been estimated that a water shed 200 miles square concentrates its water at the Buttes, and from the aver age yearly rainfall will send down abundance of water for the irrigation of nearly million acres of land.
 The government is conducting the surveys at present being made, and will not complete them yet for several months From the reports then made it is intended that private capitalists shall see exactly what it will cost, what plans had best be followed and what re- suits can be looked for in the construc- ton of dam as indicated. It is said that parties building the dam will be given each alternate section of land reached by the water as bonus for do- ing the work. Definite action can be looked for in the matter during the present season, and should the enter prise progress rapidly as can reason ably be expected, active work on the

sandy, or other very light soils, sub soiling would be positive injury, since these soils, as rule, lack cohesion. Hence, every man must decide these questions for himself. So must he de- eide the question of trench as against subsoil blowing for himself. It is bad policy, as rule, to turn up the crude soil from the depths below. It is not to be expected that subsoiling will reach itssbest results on soils liable to annual saturation, unless the subsoiling is prac- ticed annually, and at time when the soil is in good working condition.
 On soils underdrained, the effects of subsoiling are more permanent. On heavy soils, that annually become satu- rated with water, the soil, when wet, runs together, and prevents free perco- lation of water, while, if not sub- soiled, the decay of the roots in the soil would give percolation to considerable degree.
