Another resource for Arizona cat

Another resource for Arizona cat tlemen is open. Two gentlemen named Mathews yesterday (22nd) arrived from Salinas, Cal. They say rains have been plentiful there, and that pasture is good. They al- so say they have plenty of pasture and wish to stock it with Arizona feeders. These they can put in prime order, say by April. They expect to get 1900 head, of which Maish & Driscoll will furnish a trainload. The first shipment leaves in about a week.-Citizen.

Will Grow Anywhere.

The late Prof. WIG. Klee, of the
 experiment grounds of State Uni
 versity, at Berkley, Cal, wrote : Abundant testimony exists to show that the olive tree will thrive throughout the larger part of Cali fornia. It will grow in soil too dry even for a grapevine and too rocky for any other fruit tree; the hills and mountain slopes not fit for the pasture of even a goat can be made to produce olives; precisely such will produce the fruit much earlier than the rich valleys. It has often been said that the olive is the poor mans tree. That oil and pickles of the finest quality can be pro- duced in this state cannot be ques- iioned, as the Eltwood Copper of Santa Barbara, has taken the prize at the Paris Worlds Fair. At the Experiment grounds of the Univer- sity, at Berkley, we have received through Mir. Pondorf's importation, two valuable varieties, the Nevadil- To. Blanco and the ManzanillO, both early in the season."

About 1887 horseshoe was found under the toe of the glacier Theo- dul, in Switzerland, which led geol- ogist to the idea that this pass, 3,322 meters high, was formerly not imbedded in ice. This has been further confirmed by recent find of coins bearing the likenesses of Augustus and Diocletian.-Popu- lar Science News.

Dr. Colin, regimental physician in the French army, has published the results of his investigations in- to the effects of regular marching in disciplined bodies upon soldiers. The regularity of the step causes the indefinite repetition of a shock of the bone and brain, infinitely more deleterious than an irregular walk, and to this regular repetition of the shock of the same parts of the body is due the peculiar aches, pains and illnesses of the troops. In one-day march, he says, this shock is repeated 10000 times, and often the strongest men, who can walk the same distance without diff fculty when not in line, succumb to the strains in two or three days. Dr. Collins preventive is a rubber heel in all military boots. This heel has been tried at his instance in the French infantry, he says, and the result has been found to be great relief to the soldiers. The ex- periments with the rubber heel are still in progress Boston Tran script.

beef shippers, or car companies thet
use a combination of salt and ice for
cooling purposes, that on and after
that da'e they will pay mileage only
at the rate of one fourth of a cent per
mile to the owners of the cars instead
Of one cent per a per mile as hereto
fore. A prominent railway official Is
reported in a recent copy of the Chicago
Tribune as describing the situation as
follows:
The small shippers and capitalists
have found it exceedingly burdensome
for a long time to contend against the
large concerns who not only furnish
cars for their own legitimate business,
but on account Of finding it very
profitable have undertaken themselves
to %supplant the legitimate business of
the railway companies by furnishing
cars to the other shippers that had not
the capital or desire to go into the car
supply business; and they ever went
to the extent of rebating to shippers a
portion of the car mileage in order to
secure their CO operation and to issue
continual use of the cart and conse-
quently large revenues therAtrOm.
To such an extent has this system
developed within a short space Of time
that the railway companies now find
themselves / n a pretty tight box, and
the owners of these cars absolutely
undertake to control the business, ana
dictate TO shippers whom they have
got to use their cars, what routes they
shall ship by.
This certainly is building up the
most extravaganza and dangerous mo
nOpOly that has been recently inaugu-
rated, and it is serious reflection upon
railway managers that they allowed
themselves to be put into such a posi-
ton as TO be dictated to in this way.
But the worst of it is, at the same time
that these ~sO-called private" cars are
being run the railway companies have
their sidlngs filed with their own roll
ing stock, for which they have paid
out good money and which are kept
Idle the greater part Of the Year, while
they are paying out an enormous per
centage Of tt cir revenues for a hire,
to the detriment of the stockholders.
One would think that railway COM
panies, that is those that take any
pride in managing their w affairs,
would eQualiZe the preference that the
owners of the cars get by either reduc-
ing their rates or allowing a percent
age in the shape Of car hire at so much
per mile to whoever would use the
railway companies cars, and thus put
the smaller shippers on as good a foot.
ing as the gigantic lnonopolies that
own their own cars.
The Journal has all along maintained
that the so called beef trust exists
mainly by the 6 C and favor of the
railroads, and that one of their strong
positions has been the use they are al
lowed to make of their refrigerator
cars. We are glad TO see that the evil
has become SO large that the railroads
themselves have been compelled to
unite with the general public in sup
pressing this monopoly. 1t is a long
lane that has no turn.

A DANGEROUS MONOPOLY.

1t has been we'll known for a long
time that one Of the means by which
the Chicago and other packers have
been enabled to lord it over butchers
and consumers as we'll as stock grow
ers, has been the rebates allowed them
by the railroads for the use of their
refrigerator cars. This rate has been
usually one cent per car per mile,
though In some cases N and quarter
cents have been paid which amounts
to a practical rebate of from $18 to $50
per a when shipping to Eastern
points. The packers have become so
exorbitant in their demands, and so
oppressive In their Nominations that
they have been recently leasing their
cars to other parties at private rates,
thus preventing the railroads from US
ing their own refrigeratOrs In their
own legitimate business, and the com
panies now find themselves with long
lines of re~frigerators standing idle on
the tracks while hauling the retrige
rators Of the packing houses filled with
goods of other customers. 1t is seldom
that an abuse becomes est ibllshed by
the connivance of a railroad or other
corporation that it does not In turn
rend those who laid its foundations by
violating sound business principles.
Some Of the railroads have determined
TO endure the encroachments OF the
packers no longer, and on the first day
Of this ninth the Chicago & Grand
Trunk Railway took the bull by the
horns and gave notice to the dressed

There Is . demand for a comprehensive and
authoritative book which shall represent the
farmer, and set forth his condition, the inhu-
snces surrounding him, and plans and prospects
for the future. This book has been written by
Hon. W. A. PETER, who was elected to the
United States Senate from Kansas to succeed
Senator Ingalls,. The title Is Tn FARNuR's
SIDE, and this indicates the purpose of the work.
In the earlier chapters, Senator PETER de-
ScribeS the condition Of the farmer in variouA
parts of the country, and compares it with tia
condition of men in other calIings. He carefully
examines the cost of labor, of living, the priees
of crops, taxes, mortgages, and rates of interest.
gives elaborate tables showing the increass
of wealth in railroads, manufactures, banking,
and other forms of business, and he compares
this with the earnings of the farmer, and AlDe
wags-worken in general. In q clear, forcibIo
style, with abundant citations of facts and fig
ureS, the author tells how the farmer reached
his present unsatisfactory condition. Then fol-
lowe an elaborate discussion of The Way out"
which is the fullest and most authoritative pres
entation of the aims and VieWR of the Farmer
Alliance that has been published, including fun
discussions of the currency, tie questions Of
interest and mortgages, railroads, the sale Of
crops, and other matters of vital consequence.
This book is the only one which attempts 70
cover the whole ground, and it il unnecessary
to emphasize itR value. 1t is a compendium Of
the facts, figures, and suggestions which the
farmer ought to have at hand.
THE FARNEE' SIDE has Just been issued,
and makes = handsome and substantial book
of $50 pages. We have arranged with the pub
iShera for it, sale to our readers at the pub
liAAOn' price. The book may b obtained At

MINISTER EGAN Is HERE.

Good Feeling Of the Chileans Toward the
United States-Some Political Talk.
Minister Egan is at the Arlington. He called
at the White House and the State Department
today. He says that his visit to this country is
not for politics and that he does not know that
he is to take any part in the campaign. He
came to bring the $4,000 indemnity for the
Baltimore sailors and the draft Of a treaty for
the arbitration Of claims. There is a perfect
restoration Of good feeling toward the United
States in Chile, he says, and on his departure he
was shown every possible courtesy and honor
by the Chilean government. He was offered .
special train to the seacoast. Flowers were
sent him and the most prominent people called
to pay their respects. The Chileans, be says,
are greatly interested in the reciprocity idea,
and he thinks they are disposed to enter into .
reciprocity treaty with the United States.
Speaking Of politics here, be said that he had
been authorltatively informed in New York that
Mr.. Blaine would take the stump and make
some speeches for Harrison and Reid in addi-
ton to what he has done in his letter. Mr..
Egan said that he believed the bulk of the Irish
vote would be cast for Harrison this fall.
