THE building in which the Yuma Times had it's office was complete ly demolished by the flood, and it is said that the material on which that paper was printed went with the building. The Sentinel had to move its plant twice in one week, but succeeded in getting out a pa per on time. St. Johns has some advantages over the towns in the southern portion of the Territory. The ground on which iL is built is too high to be flooded by any or dinary rise, Itwould require some thing like Noah's flood, one reads about in the Bible, to submerge our town.

We clip the following from the Tombstone Prospector: The in habitants of our sister Territory are celebrating their release from bond age The Buzzard employees of the Interior department have been sent home and the goose hangs high. The name of the new man is Leach. and here is what the Sil- yer City Enterprise says of him:
 "Mr. Leach comes here without an instructed bias against our peo- pie, He does not assume that each and every individual in this coun- try is an escaped criminal, who came here with the sole intent and purpose of preying upon the gov ernment by fraudulently acquiring title to public lands despoiling the land of its timber in direct violation of law, He has met our citizens as one gentleman should meet an other, giving them credit for other than evil motives in settling and civilizing these far western wilds. He does not prejudge and proceed upon the hypothesis that every set tier has acquired his title by per jury and perversion of the law. Nor does he assert that every stick of scrub growth cut by the rancher for the fire in his hearth, the miner for his hoist or the reduction works for their shelter is violation of the laws for the protection of the timber growth ol the country. To prove that his services aye valuable, he does not find it necessary to en- ploy the scum of our population to distort facts, Chat honest men may be driven from properties, the titles to which were honestly and legally obtained, nor promise to the same scum his influence and aid in placing them Tn possession of that property in remuneration for their perverted evidence"

TIE Northwestern Live Stock Journal has the following in regard to the prospects for the cattle in dustry this spring: Sufficient mois- ture has fallen in the northern range country since the beginning of the year to insure a reasonably good growth of grass in the larger part of the open country, and with the usual amount of rainfall during the spring months, the whole region north of the Arkansas will have an abundance of feed. This fact will stimulate purchases of southern steer stock and the promise is of quite liberal trading during the months of March and April.

We are advised that some of the hired men who went with the Bar bacomari cattle on the trail to Cal fornia, wrote to their friends from Yuma that no wells are needed on the trail between that point and Tucson. They write. however, that in order to make the trail to Cali fornia complete success, the cat tlemen will have to make arrange ments to ferry cattle across the Col orado river at Yuma. They say that whenever this is done, they don't believe the Southern Pacific can ever afford to haul stock that are going to pasture in California as cheaply as men can drive them there, who have been over the pres ent trail with large herd and know just how to handle their cattle Southwestern Stockman.

He informs us that the recent heavy rains did no damage in his section butwer welcomed by the cattlemen and young grass will soon b. penti- lul. Parties in search Of feeders were in his locality. J. NJ. Holt of Montana, purchased from theSanPe- lro CattleCompany all their threes, fours and up, and five hundred head of yearlings, at the rate of So for yearlings, $l1 for twos and $l4 for threes and up. The purchase was for April delivery and shipment will be made from Benson or this point. Mr. Hubbard was also Ill the vicinity of Benson looking for feeders forKansas pastures, offering $I5 for threes and up, likewise for April delivery, It is the opinion of cattlemen that purchasing thus early for future delivery indicates that there will be a brisk demand, for cattle oI this sort, and at higher prices than are now being offered and cattle are being held for such advance which is most certain to come. Mir. Vaughan is in core spendence with Kansas buyers who are anxious for good Arizona cat tle The day is surely dawnIng.- Wilcox Stockman.

THE Two Republics reads the fol- lowing lines of common sense to a Mexican paper which has been try ing to stir up a feeling against the United States: "It is folly for a Mexican journalist to quote history forty years old in order to illustrate the present attitude of the United States toward Mexico. If there was a time when the two republics were at war, there has been an epoch since when the United States proved itself indeed friend to Mexico in fact her only friend in position to help her."

None such have existed between different races in any age or coun- try so far as history records. The time has come for a change.
