punalo Bill PARTY IN Denver.

The Buffalo Bill party are now il
Denver, and the Times of the 14th ha
the following regarding the trip:
"Thcy proceeded by train to Flag
staff Arizona, and were theie met by
cow boy escort, so horses, three wagons
and two buckboards, and at once be,
gan to penetrate the wilds of the leasl
known section of the United States
Their route took them by the old Nor
mon trail to the San Francisco noun
tains, which they assembled to the
height of IL, 500 feet, and from thence
to the Grand canyon of the Colorado
by way of the John Hance trail, the
only decent on the south side of the
great gorge. From the edge of the
precipice they could plainly see on the
opposite side their objective point, see
the scouts sent out to meet them and
their signals, but while the distance
was only II miles across, dctour of
800 miles had to be made at loss of
time of IA days in order to attain it,
After exploring the canyon until
thoroughly satiated with It's sp!endors
and magnilicence, thoy skirted the
Colorado Grande at Lees ferry, skirted
the edges of the Moqui aud Navajo
reservations and entered into this
promised land under the protection of
Elder Dan Siegmiler, and President
Woolly of the Kanab stake. Their
progress was a triumphal one, the peo-
pie vieing with one another in lavish
ing hospitality upon them, and a most
pleasing feature Of the reception was
the attendance of 20 COW boys, who
acted as body guard until the larger
settlements were reached and passed.
As matter of course, game was
plentiful and the larder was always
supplied with venison and all other
luxuries that the country afforded.
All the members of the party express
ed themselves as being delighted with
their experience, and declare that such
trip has never been paralloled, either
in the amount of pleasure secured or
magnificent scenery enjoyed. The
English officers are especially well
pleased with their trip, and derived no
little satisfaction from the fact that
a greater portion of the expedition re-
turned TO Flagstaff and civilization,
after arriving at the Grand canyon,
rather than endure the hardships they
all knew awaited them If the itinerary
was carried out.

Miss HELEN GoULD's Inheritance

Miss HELEN GoULD's Inheritance
makes her probably with one excep-
ton, the richest young and unmarried
woman in America. The fortune OF
Miss Garrett, daughter of the late pres
ident of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road, is larger than Miss Gould's, but
part of Miss Carrots fortune has
been made by her own business sagaci-
". Mr.. Gould did not follow the ex-
ample of most of the other creators of
great fortunes in this city by giving
the bulk of his estSie to the sons and a
comparatively moderate portion of it
to the daughters. Miss Gould is
abundantly competent to take care Of
her Interests, for size ilhcrits some Of
her fathers business quality, although
in disposition she suggests her mother.
She Is now richer than any of the
daughters of William II. Vanderbilt,
and very much richer than any of the
hstor girls.

THERE is one candidate who was
defeated at the polls on election day
who is going TO contest, and he was q
candidate for sheriff in Pinal county
The Florence Tribune says: The con-
test before the court for the Office of
sheriff Of Pinal county has commenced
On the 18th Geo. L. Truman, or his
attorneys loaded up legal shotgun,
called complaint, full to the muzzle
with charges of fraud and fired it of
with bang, atte:ing its contents
all over the county. On very slight
evidence, OF none at all, large num-
Der of reputable citizens Of Pinal coun-
ty are accused Of crimes which would
upon proof, land them in the peniten-
tiary. The Boards of election officers
in several precincts are accused of
counting votes for l.. X. Drais which
they knew, upon the face Of the ballot
should have counted for Truman. 1t
would appear that Mr.. Truman will
have to prove these charges or stand q
suit for SANDER. II is singular that
the only precincts in which fraud was
committed are those in which Drais
had majority. The only part of the
complaint which will probably give
the contestant any standing in court is
that portion relating to Sacaton, and
that ia somewhat diaphanous.

The Farmer and Politics.

The prosperity of farmer to-day
depends more on the methods he EN-
ploys than ON governmental rule.
Take seeds for an example: Many
farmers who are alive to their own
interests in other things are careless in
buying seeds, They seem to think
that q seed is seed and there it ends.
If there was more knowledge about
seeds and greater care exercised in
their selection, there would be richer
crops and better returns.
Realizing this d. M. Ferry & Co, /,
the famous seed firm OF Detroit, Mich.
have embodied in their Illustrated
Annual for 1898, much valuable infor-
nation about seeds and their selectian.
1t contains the knowledge CLEANED from
many years practical experience in the
seed business, and the newes and best
things about gardens and gardening.
Such book issued by firm of un-
questioned reliability is of the highest
value to every one who plants seed.
Although the cost of printingAnd en-
beliishing it with beautiful illustrations
has been great, it is sent free to any
one making application to the above
firm.

In tho United States court this morn
ing the case of the United States VS.. J.
w. Eddy ct al. was dismissed. This
makes the ninth and last of the cele-
bratcd timber cases Instituted by ex-
United States Attorney Owen T.
Rouse, under Cleveland's administra-
ton. The cases against the citizens of
Prescott were worked up by 6. b. Bev-
ans, a special agent of Clevelaad's adj
ministration, and those from Flagstaff
were worked up by Special Agent Ma
son. 1t was apparent to everybody
except the special agents and Attor-
ney Rouse, from the first that there
was no foundation for the suits. 1t
has been matter OF great expense and
much annoyance to the parties against
whom the suits were instituted, but
source of revenue TO the special agents
and to the United States Attorney

ing the whole 1888 miles in the Atchi-

an increase of 1921, ,i27 in gross and

TaE grand jury after nsestigatiug
the case of l.. p. Nash who killed an
Indian at Fort Apache, few weeks
since, failed to return an Indictment,
1t is probable that the grand jury was
satisfied that there could 5e no con-
viction, as the general verdict of the
public is that Nash acted only in self
defense. Nash was held in $500 bonds
to appear before another grand jury at
some future time when the charge will
be again ignored. The grand jury has
been dismissed and there is no time to
cet another for this term of court.

The Senate conference of Republic
cans was strongly against the bill for
the admission of Arizona and New
Mexico says the Prospector The
latter territory, it was argued, con-
tanned too illiterate population to
become a state. As to Arizona, it was
argued that the territory had not
shown the degree of ability and ex-
perience that would warrant Congress
in making a state of it. Her Finances
have been badly managed and her
debt has increased. Until some inn
provemeut can be shown in that re-
spect, it was held that Arizona's ad-
mission would not DO eXpedient. II
would seem that wo might as well
hang up our statehood cap until a year
hence, unless some heroic effort is
made Ly both Republicans and Demo-
Gratis of this territory to influence the
Senate to act at once, and favOrably
upon our request for admission. Would
it be out of the way for Governor Muir
ply to call a meeting to be held at
Phenix to express our sentimcntsP
Let leading Republicans and Demo
Gratis come together at once in such a
way and make demand for recOgn:-
ton. and the good work will be ac-
comnlishnd

FIODDS md FORESTS.

Every wear tie lower Mississippi Valley i
mcnacad with high water and disastrous floods
This season the danger has been increased by
the latcncss and extraordinary volume of the
rainfall. The rains instead of being distributed
through the month Of April have been CON
ccntrated in long early May storm and there
has been high water from the sources OF the
Mississippi and the Missouri and their tribu-
tarcs to the cmbanhmcntS and lcvccs Of LouiSi-
ana Notwithstanding the marked improve
mcnt in the lcvcc system during recent years
the security of plantations and river towns is
now impcrillcd and although there have not
yet been any serious breaks, and the cmbank-
mcnts are reported to be holding out well, dis
astrOus results are apprchcDdcd III many pOr-
tions Of the lower Mississippi Valley. Even if
cities and towns escape the floods which would
be caused by the destruction of the cmbank
mcnts. thousands of acres ordinarily under till
age have already been overlooked and with
the certainty that there will be high water in
the rivers for several weeks to come planta-
ton work will be impracticablc for long time
and heavy losses will be involved.
There are two safeguards. or systems of pre-
cautions, which are rendered necessary by the
recurrence Of high wafer every spring. One is
the multiplication of establishments and the i'm
provcmcnt Of the levccs required for con
trolling the swollen waters q the rivers. The
necessity for these measures and for increased
expenditures for engineering works scicntitica
" designed and constructed is apparent. In
the Southwest only one opinion is entertained
on this subject but there is marked reluctance
on the part Of the public to admit that any
thing is TO be done at the hcadwatcrs of the
rivers and tributaries. Entertainments and
lcvccs are not the only safeguards for the pre-
vention of foods and high water. The prcscr-
walton and restoration of forests wcnld tend 10
contribute very much to the security Of the
Mississippi Valley, but these are precautions
which are generally neglected. One of the
functions of a forest is to hold back the water
supply Of great rivers The woodland soil acts
like a sponge when the spring rains occur. II
remains in state of saturation and the water
oozcs slowly out Of it to feed the springs
brooks and rivulets which empty into the main
streams The rapid conversion Of woodland
into farms and the sensclcsS and wanton de-
structon OF forests in the upper waters Of all
the great Western rivers have ntcrfcrcd with
Natures own method of Withholding and regu-
lating the spring floods. After the heavy rains
of April and May the rivers are Immediately
filled to hgh-watcr mark, and the Mississippi,
swollen by floods in every one of It's chief
tributaries, is trimming full long before it
empties into the Gulf. The problems of for
estry are as practical, if legislators and munic-
ipal councils would only examine and study
them, as the plans OF levee-engineers The
restoration OF forest tracts in regions useless
