ALMOST from the birth of the nation
American enterprise and intelligence
has becn utilizing the crude and imper-
feet industries Of savage, half civilized
and old fugy predecessors. into grand
schemes tnat have hghtened labor and
increased the means Of acquiring wealth.
This has been especially the case in
procuring results from the cultivation
OF the SOIL The old wooden grave
Bcrstcher" has given place to the plow Of
the present age; the sickle to the reaper
the fail to other appliances for separat-
ing grain from the straw, to the horse
and steam power thresher, and innum-
cradle other labor saving machines for
the appliances Of industry that today,
would make agricultural pursuits seem
burlesque. Another evidence Of the
remarkable advance of civilization in
this particular, ls more recently shown
in the great irrigating canals, which
water immense tracts OF land heretofore
only moistened in small patches. In
Kansas, in Colorado, in California, and
even in some parts of Old and New
Mexico ss we'll as in Arizona, the canals
are proving Of almost incalculabls bene-
ht, in reclaiming soil as rich AS any on
the continent, and making it bud and
blossom with beauty and wealth. The
time is not far distant when millions of
acres believed worthless by many people
because il was not deemed accessible
from the rivers and the lakes, will be
among the richest and most productive
farming lands in the country. The new
canals On the Salt and Gils rivers now
in course OF construction and operation,
will more than double the number of
acres OF agricultural land in that section
OF the territory. Not only this, but it
will encourage the construction of other
canals, and in the course OF few years
all the available land Of Arizona will
be brought under a system OF irrigation
and made productive.

TIE Brooklyn Times thinks it is ALT
tie too early yet to pronounce positively
on the result OK General Dyrenforth's
experiments as to ths possibility Of pro-
ducipg ram by explosions in the upper
strata of the atmosphere. 1t is true that
all OF the experiments conducted in the
dry belt Of Texas resulted in heavy rain
showers. and the last experiment was
particularly satisfactory, as, before the
explosions, the barometer was rising
and all the conditions promised dry
weather. But it will take more than
three successful experiments, it will re-
quiss o mass Of consenting testimony
conducted over wide area and under
clearly defined conditions, TO pursuade
the public that it is among the pussi-
bllities OF science TO produce rain when
ever rain is wanted. Butif the thing is
possible it will revolutionize the world
in many respects. 1t Will avert famine
and will reclaim to human uses vast
masses OF territory that for lack Of rain
have remained desert for ages. Such a
victory over the mysterious forces Of
nature would be indeed the crowDing
triumph Of the nineteenth century.

IN STRANGE LANDS.

A TUEIsIAS girl has no chance OF

THE costliest dresses in the world are
worn by the women of Sumatra. They

After the metal is mined and smelted it

IN the jungles of Sumatra is found an
enormous spider which measures three
inches across the body and seven across
the legs. 1t is black in color, with red
and yellow markings. 1t spins a geomet-
rical web about four feet in diameter
between two trees.

and is about two miles wide.

ACCORDING to Bradstreet reciprocity

the failure OF the commercial treaty
negotiated by Minister Romero some
years ago through the neglect Of con-
gress 70 take action to carry its provis-
ions into effect. an attempt to negotiate
another treaty at this time would hard
fy have been made were it not fer the
pssssge Of the reciprocity provisions OF
the last tariff law. Ever since the psss-
age OF that law the Mexican govern
ment has had the negotiation Of O reci
procity treaty il view, and an under
standing was reached with the state
department that the subject would be
taken up this fall The president OF
Mexico has now appointed a plenipoten-
tiary to negotiate a commercial treaty.
Minister Romero, who negotistsd the
commercial treaty some years ago. aud
sao is specially familiar with the ground
covered, will have an important advisory
part n the negotiations.

HERBERT BROWN Manager
THE ALIEN ACT.

In connection with an article which
appeared in this paper recently, Gov.
Ross in his Deming Headlight has the
following reflections to make:
May it not be possible Bro. Tongue
mare, that the very handsome develop
ment OF New Mexico mining interests
during the past FIVE years is in good
degrees the result OF the alien act? Ger
tsinly no such development took pls e
during the forty five years in which
foreigners were allowed TO invest at will
in the territory. Turn the question
ever, Bro, and lock on that side awhile.
We will remark that law is judged
by the influences that 1t exercises,
whether it be for good or for evil. Tbs
alien act has borne its fruits in New
Mexico and Arizona. For the past five
years, foreign capitalists in search OF
profitable investment in mines have
passed through Arizona and New Mex
loo with indifference, ter in these two as
well as other territories, the foreigner is
forbidden from investing in mining
pr operty. This is not the case IN the
states; the territories only are barred
out. Upon the contrary, the writer is
almost tempted to believe that the act
was hurried through congress for the
special benefit OF the Colorado mine
spectators, who foresaw in Arizona and
New Mexico q competing field growing
into Importance. The alien act remov-
ed New Mexico and Arizona mining
property from the foreign market, which,
OF course, increased the value Of mining
property in the adjacent state Of Colo
RADIO.
1t does not require TO be gifted with
extraordinary perception to perceive the
injustice which the alien act inflicts
upon the miners of New Mexico and
Arizona. AS for the progress of New
Mexico, it must date from the passage
o. the Ration mountains by the A., T. &
s. F. railroad and not from ive years
ago. From that time to the present the
growth of the mining industry in the
southwest has been gradual, steady but
slow. II, however, the alien act was so
amended as to permit the miners Of the
southwest the same rights possessed by
those OF the states IN the union, and il
favorable silver legislation follows the
opening Of the approaching session Of
congress, then mining booms, extraordi-
nary activity and rapid progress through
out New Mexico and Arizona may be
expected. The Bullion does not ad-
vocate that the alien act be oblItersted
or snnulled in full, but that it be mod
ifisd in suoh q way that the miners Of
New Mexico should be placed on rsr
with those of fColorsdo.--El Paso Bullion

THE COUNTRY EDITOR.

The country editor deserves a good
deal more consideration than he gener
ally receives. He renders service of sur
passing value, for which he rarely OF
never gets reasonable credit. There is
no other man in the community who
does SO much work for SO little pay, or
who is SO willing to subordinate private
| interest to public necessity and adyant-
age. He lies awake Of nights TO devise
means Of making himself useful 10 his
town. His paper is source OF constant
benefit to its readers as an advocate Of
everything that is calculated to promote
their welfare and prosperity. 1t is out
OF the question for him to acquire
wealth, or even to put aside moderate
surplus fer rainy day. He is content
If he can make living. When he does
more than that the balance goes TO the
improvement of his paper, and SO the
people get the profit after all. He does
not expect just and fair return for his
labor, like men engaged in other kinds
of business. The force of customs and
tradition obliges him to be everybody's
servant in u certain sense, and TO seize
every chance Of assisting other people
In their various enterprises and ambi-
tiors. He must study to please his pa
irons by making himself practical
help TO them. This is the test Of his
ability and the measure of his popular
ity. In short. he is the best existing
illustration of the theory Of recompense
that makes virtue its own reward.
There is another side to the matter,
however. The country editor is not a
prophet without honor to his own To-
cali:y, He wields a decided influence,
and is frequently the controlling spirit in |
controversies Of great pith and mo-
ment. 1t is his province to keep close |
to the people. He kows what they think |
and what they want. His facilities for
convincing and persuading them are of
6 superior order, because be comes in
direct contact with them ami is familiar
with their habits and tendencies. They
read his paper with more interest than
they do the metropolitan journal. The
latter is not apt to speak to them with
q clear comprehension Of their situa-
tion, whereas the former Is really part
Of the system of things to which they
belong. Some of the most effective
work that is done in political campaigns
Is performed by the country editor. He
Is often wiser in his methods and pro-
,esses than his metropolitan brother;
and his audience listens to him with a
ceiling of personal respect and conf
lence. Not only in politics, but in all
matters OF general Importance, the local
press is a power that is felt in most
distinct and irresistible manner. The
contents OF the country papers have
more to do with shaping public senti-
nent than all the books and periodicals.
t is the country editor who keens hIs
niger on the popular pulse in the true
meaning of the term, and is acquainted
With the conditions by which all issues
re ultimately determined. This i'm
,lies that he is not q man to be lightly
egarded, but that he is entitled to gen
rous and greattui treatment at all times
md in all observation-disclosures.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 11-Thomas
Hart, just discharged from San Quintin
prison, where he served term of three
years for arson, said today that on We'd
nesdsy last 15O c0nvicts employed in the
jute mill refused TO work because Of the
poor food given them. The men formed
in line and marched out into the Yard
in an orderly manner, Warden Hale
said he would give them better food and
the men went back to work. Hart says
the conyictS are given only one-fourth
OF pound OF meat per day while the law
requires that they be given a pound
The meat given them, he says, was
nearly always purified and unfit to eat
Regarding the alleged conspiracy to
break out OF prison, for which seven
men are now in solitary confinement,
Hart says it was no conspiracy, but the
officers invented the story To avoid
having the men work on the roads near
San Rafael, as they could rot be spared
