To PROVIDE for 'Children's Home" at the Columbian Exposition an effort
 is now being made by the Board of Lady Managers. It must be done by contributions. The cause is good one, the idea philanthropic, the end to be attained of great comfort and ben eft to the children and the people on that occasion. Mrs. Geo. Hoxwortb hands us a circular letter which an nounces that the building proposed will cost about s20, 900, and that prob ably s15,0O0 more will be necessary for fitting up and maintenance. The idea is that the Home !" shall contain all that will contribute to the comfort and happiness of children and young people and exhibit "he newest and most vital thought concerning the we'll being of children both in the home aud at school; tLeir proper diet and cloth ing considered from the scientific and hygienic standpoint; their literature, games and amusements and all that may conduce to the natural and happy development of the physical, moral and mental natures of the men and women of the future" Thus visitors with children can have them tcnderly and carefully cared for and instructed for any length of time on the grounds during the Exposition, while the chil- drcn under nurses and teachers will be taken out to see the various exhibits, and all possible instruction given there on such occasions. Arizona's portion of the funds necessary for the develop ment of this splendid idea into an actual, living fact is but nineteen dol lars, and the lady commissioner of this county, Mrs. Geo. Hoxworth, will re- ccive such contributions as our citizens may see fit to give, and everyone should be willing to give little to such an enterprise. The ladies of Flagstaff should bc especially Interested. !

A Big Reservoir.

A company has been organized to construct the biggest reservoir in the world. It is to be built in central Arizona. The site taken is Box can yon, 400 yards below the junction of Tonto creek and Salt river. The height of the dam will be 200 feet, and the backwater will extend 16 miles to the Sierra Ancha mountains, making the capacity of the reservoir, according to the report of the county surveyor, 103, ,05S, ,0I0,S0 cubic feet of water. Owing to the abundance of lime rock, timber and other building material on the ground, the cost of building is not expected to exceed million and a half dollars. The new reservoir will have capacity to irrigate all the lands of the Gila, Verde and Salt val leys, from the point where the water Is taken out, to the Colorado river at Yuma. The enterprise is backed by New York capital.

Utes and Navajos Would Give Up
 Their Mountains for Plains.
 G. A. Jackson, a we'll known pros pector and packer of southern Cobra do, writes to the Denver News from Ute mountain, by way of Mancos, offering the following suggestion about the proposed settlement of the Ute and Navajo land titles:
 This isolated group" he writes, ais in the same geological belt and mineral zone that leads north from the Zuni mountains on the south, its north ern trend taking in the Tuuicha, Car rizo and Chusco, and intersecting the San Juan group in the La Plata noun tains on the north Should the com mission now at work conduct their negotiations m the right channel, and intelligently lay before the Navajos a i, proposition from the government to swap grass lands adjoining their pres ent reservation on the west for the mountainous part of the east half of their reserve, it would not only be favorably considered, but on that basis all of the supposed metal bearing area could be opened to settlement by the whites within a very short time but not by purchase.
 "They will not sell any portion of their very scanty and restricted graz ing lands, and the commission is but throwing away their time and the gov ernment's money in trying to get any portion of this already too small reser- vation by purchase. These Navajos have great deal of stock-too much foraging within our own boundary lines, and this winter they have had to move part of their sheep north of the Rio Juan into the Ute lands and pay rent to the Utes for the privilege 0i grazing. The Navajos have great many sheep, goats and horses, and al now accommodating not few cattle. Grass lands is what they want and need more than anything else, and if the government will offer them the lands to the north of their western boundary line for their mountainous lands the offer will be accepted, but they vii not sell single foot of their territory. y

sheep shearing by Machinery.

An interesting exhibition was held at the warehouse of Mir. l.. A. Watkins, at Denver, on the 9th inst, when two sheep shearing machines, manufactured by Bergen X Ball, of Sheffield, Eng land, were tried upon variety of sheep, ranging from the most wrinkled Merino eve to thoroughbred Shropshire. In every case the work done was first class and astonished most of the spec tators, who were representative sheep men from New Mexico, Colorado and Wyoming. Mir, J. D. Woodruff, a large sheep owner of Lander, Wyo.. kindly assisted the exhibition by shear ing several, to satisfy himself of the practical utility of the machine. New CT having seen the machine before, he could not be called an expert. but the first sheep was sheared in twelve min utes, and better job was never seen.
 Professor Quick, of the agricultural college at Fort Collins, also sheared some, and expressed himself as very much pleased with the easy and clean way the machine did the work. Mir. Watkins had received a cablegram from the manufacturers requesting him to postpone the exhibition, as they had shipped twenty-five improved machines recently, but the work done with the two on exhibition was sufficient to de- monstrate that in the near future they will be generally used ou all large ranches.
 It is next to impossible to cut the sheep and fully a pound more wool is taken of than by hand, from heavy shearing sheep.

Alsop's Fall.

James J. Alsop is young English
 man who will always cherish sad recol- lections of trip to the sheep ranches in the Chilli neighborhood, says the Albuquerque Citizen. MT. Alsop is from the far effete east, and is agent for the Fernoline chemical company's sheep dip. He visited William Me Intosh's ranch last Sunday, and inter- ested that gentleman into purchasing the dip in large quantities, Monday he enjoyed the Inequalities of Mac, and after supper he started to walk across the country for few miles to another sheep ranch. He was unac- quainted with the many gulches and canyons that lay in his path, and at about II o'clock, the night quite dark, he stepped over into gulch twenty feet deep, and laid there unconscious until 1 o'clock the next morning. On getting up hs found that the left ear was hanging from that side of his head by thin piece of flesh, and the side of the face badly bruised. He bound the injuries with his handkerchief and con- tinued his walk to the ranch, where he secured horse and rodo into the city. Dr. Hopo put a dozen stitches in the ear, plastored his face with the ncces- sary medicines, and the gentleman is content to rest quietly at the San Felipe until his injuries are entirely healed. For the time being " sheep dip' will have drag on the market

A Card,

Ireprcsent the Mutual Life Insurance Co. of New York, the largest, oldest and best insurance company in the United Statest. am writing the best forms ot endowment and life policies at as low rates as any travelling agent can possibly write them, and can offer advantages that they cannot. The argument that you can buy in the East or of travelling men cheaper than in Flagstaff-a very narrow argument even if true--does not apply to life insurance, for the rates, like the price of postage stamps, are the same throughout the country.
 My home is in Coconino county; l spend my money here and am striving to help build up the country, and l believe that my bid for the local life insurance business is entitled to more consideration than that of travelling agents who stop in town long enough to get all they can out of it and then depart to spend their profits elsewhere.
 Very respectfully,
 J. II, HosKINs.

THE cattle quarantine of Wyoming affects the cattle interests of Arizona, and the Northwestern Live Stock Journal, of Cheyenne, has the follow ing to say on the subject: There is no objection anywhere to the enforcement of the law in the matter of disease bearing cattle from the south, or from thy other section. AS executive of the 'tate it is clearly Mir. Barber's duty to see that there is no infraction of the law in any direction. The point the Journal makes is that the governor has 10 right, legally or morally. to inter- )ret the law one way for citizen of Wyoming and another way for citizens If other states. When Governor Bar Der can establish his theory that splcnic lever is germinatcd in the bills of lad ing accompanying cattle instead of in the low lands of the south, he may hope for recognition as clear-headed, conscientious executive. Until that time, every honest man who believes in treating his neighbors fairly (and all honest men are built that way), will look with suspicion on proclama. ton that admits As cattle for ranching in Wyoming, while denying B the right of way, over United States lands, to his cattle, bought out of the same herd and pasture, and coming under the same healthful conditions of those be, longing to A, simply because they hap. pen to be billed for Montana. Inter. state commerce laws will stand nc such interpretation. If southern cat. tie cannot be safely turned on the ranges, bar them out entirely. If they are safe as the property of A, they are safe as the property of B. The bill-of. lading theory is false and rotten, and in the minds of fair, unprejudiced peo. pie leads to suspicion of personal motives behind it.

G. Gloger, Druggist, Watertown, Wis. This is the opinion of a man who keeps drug store, sells all medicines, comes in direct contact with the patients and their families, and knows better than anyone else how remedies sell, and what true merit they have. He hears of all the failures and successes, and can therefore judge II know of no medicine for Coughs, Sore Throat, or Hoarseness that had done such ef-
 fective work ill my Coughs, family as Boschee's .-.. German Syrup. Last So'e 'o' winter a lady called Hoarseness, at my store, who was
 suffering from very severe cold. She could hardly talk, and I told her about German Syrup and that few doses would give re- lief; but she had no confidence in patent medicines. I told her to take a bottle, and if the results were not satisfactory Iwould make no charge for it. A few days after she called and paid for it, saying that she would never be without it in future as a few doses had given her relief" o
