A Winslow dispatch of March 29

A Winslow dispatch of March 29 to the Albuquerque Citizen says;
 Messrs. Cornice, Rabbit and Ack- CT, of Flagstaff, arrived here this morning to confer with the people of this place on the question of Winslow being joined to Coconino county. The law having been pass ed requiring a two-third vote to change the location of a county seat, practically defeats for all time the possibility of Winslow being made the county seat of Apache county. This condition unites the former factions and petition for transfer to Coconino county is be- ing almost universally signed, If this union is consummated 1t will probably make Coconino strongly democratic and place within its bor- ders two railroad division towns of prominence-Winslow and Will liams-with the county capital, Flagstaff, between them. It would reduce the expense of the trip to the present county seat of Apache county, St. Johns, to Winslow peo- pie at least three-fourths and give Holbrook a ghost of a chance at least of securing the prize of county capitalship. The gentlemen from Flagstaff were appointed as com mittee of investigation by mass

! Lieut., Hummer, of the Tenth in.
 'antry, successor to Major Shipley
 as Ma ,jo Indian agent, in this l week from Defiance, proceeding di
 rectly to Wingate to look after the disposition of supplies for his agency headquarters. Thursday he was in the city on his way back to Defiance when he was met and brief lyintervlewed by Cleaner reporter. Lieut.. .Plummerreports preparations in progress for large government improvements this summer in the Navajo country, and the life of the agent is becoming more and more a busy one.
 A $50,OO0 school house is to be erected on the San Juan and in the same neighborhood an immense system of irrigation ditehes is to be constructed for the purpose of en- couraging agriculture among the Indians. These improvements will involve a vast amount of labor, and as the agent is to be charged with the experimenting of the entire works, as we'll as the routine duties of the agency. he will certainly have his hands full. As means of meet ing successfully these multiplied and conflicting tasks, Lieut.. Plum mer has applied for clerk to relieve him of part of the business of the post, and as he has already cut down tine cost of his department by dispensing with the services of the schosl superintendent, his applica- tion will in all probability be grant ed. With ouch assistance as com potent clerk can render, Lieutenant Hummer will be able to fulfill the duties imposed upon him very sat. lsfactorily, and will be enabled to cope successfully with the malcon- tent Indians who are constantly straying off the reservation. It is this. .Sneasy element that most needs the surveillance of an agent, and Lieut.. Runners determination to bring them to their proper bearings is sufficient index to the sound ness of his Indian policy.-Gallup Cleaner.

Dan Hatz, who has given the Canaigre or tannin plant some study, says it belongs to the Rumex family. To many the plant is known as wild rhubarb, and is found in rich sandy bottom land in Skull valley, Verde, Agua Fria and other valleys, growing in some places as thick as if it was planted. Last summer Mir. Hatz received an order for seeds and tubers of this plant from one of the principal seed com. panies of Eport, Germany.-Pros pector.

There was an elopement i'll the Chickasaw Nation the other day. A white man enticed away the wife of an Indian and they went to Sherman Texas. The wronged husband fol- lowed them, and when he met his wifes seducer everybody expected that blood would flow, built did not. The Indian went up to the white man and handed him $40, which he said belonged to the woman, and took his departure. When asked why he did not kill the man who had robbed him of his wife, he re- piled that he was not fool enough to kill a man for the sake of a woman whom he could no longer respect. Here is a lesson Tn honor that many a white man might profit by, This Indian felt that his honor forbade him to retain the property of the woman who had wronged him, or to stain his hands with the blood of paramour.-Ex.

Jose Otero, Mexican rancher who lives near the Rincons, was in town today on business. He was very much excited and said that while driving past an old ruined house before daylight yesterday morning he plainly saw the ghost of an Indian standing on one of the crumbling walls. It beckoned to him and then vanished into thin air. Jose did not state where he bought his whisky.-Citizen.

The Meat Market

When considering what the future of the meat market is going to belt is only necessary to recall the num- Der of dispatches that are read in the newspaper announcing the es- tablishment of dressed beef and packing plants all over the country, to conclude that persons with money and business sagacity see that the future of the beef business is full of promise. Philadelphia is to have a huge plant, Waco, Texas, is favor ed by a Chicago firm with a two hundred and fifty thousand dollar establishment. Kansas City will have great New York organization, and the city of Syracuse, N, Y., an- nounces new packing house. These cities are by no means the only ones where such enterprise is gaining way. They are merely put forth as illustrations of the confidence felt by capital in widely separated DOT
 tions of the country. If the astute business men interested in these ventures are correct in their view of their enterprises, success will be felt by those who are interested in the production of beef, and all classes of them, including the rangemen, are warranted in feeling that the time for them to realize a reward in good prices has come. This opinion is still further strengthened by the cat tie census just completed by the de- partment of Agriculture. There is a decrease shown in the number of stock cattle, and it is of such pro- portions as will have a marked ef- feet on the prices the coming year. Montana Live Stock Journal

The recent rise in the Gila river was one of the most sudden ever noticed. The flood came down in a wave from five to seven feet high. At the coun,y line the water rose in half an hour so as to make an almost impossible stream. Not much damage has been reported At the South Gila canal camp the pile driver outfit, consisting of en- zine, boiler, derrick and pump was carrid down stream with the flood and had not been recovered at last accounts. The water has since sub- sided and yesterday was at a stand still. The Gila flowing into the Colorado here, made the water almost undrinkable for the time, from some cause.-Yuma Times.
