The tramp evil on the coast has
assumed such magnitude that the
Southern Pacific railroad company
has at last resolved upon heroic
measures. The armed hordes of
vagrants chased from town to town
by sheriffs, constables and police,
have so hampered the railroad in
it's traffic that the company has de-
termined upon the employment OF
heavily armed Pinkertonian mer-
cenaries who will defend trains and
railroad property at all hazards
against the rowing bands of tramps.
Not only will it do this for it's self
protection, but it has also been de.
cided to petition for congressional
action with view of securing mea-
sures that will deal in decisive
manner with the eviL-Daily En-
terprise.

Arizona's Resources.

Without drawing any compari-
sons, odious or otherwise, between
Iowa and Arizona, we may suggest
that wnen Mr.. Hepburn OF the
former State opposed the admission
Of Arizona as State he spoke IRON
the depths of profound and Ia
mentable ignorance or drew a
heavy draft on his imagination for
his facts. Mr.. Hepburn evidently
has not got over his schoolboy ideas
of the Great American Desert, and
believes he has finally located it
and run it to earth in Arizona.
The fact is, as every intelligent
person ought to know, that there
vast tracts of land in the valleys OF
Arizona which, when irrigated, will
become fully as productive as any
portion of the earth's surface and
which, we may be sure, will not be
chilled by the SHOWS of an Iowa
winter. nor blown out of existence
by cyclones and blizzards. Tofsay
that land is valupless because 1t has
never been used for. agricultural
purposes is idle and foolish, and it
is equally silly to assert that arid
land is valueess if it lie SO that it
can be irrigated at reasonable
price.
1t may seem an absurdity to Mr..
Hepburn that people from Iowa
should go to Arizona, but it is no
more absurd than that people from
the Eastern and Middle States
should go to Iowa, as they have
been doing for years. Arizona has
agricultural, horticultural and min
eral resources winch await only
men and money to develop, and it
need not surprise Mr.. Hepburn if
some of his own constituents find
their way into the country which
he enormously supposed to be an
American Sahara.
Arizona has already acquired no
small reputation for early fruits Of
various kinds, and the more en-
thusiastic citizens there declare
that within a very few years they
will supply the East with all it's
early fruit. This, perhaps, is sub
iect to some discornt for enthusi-
asm, but it is certain that while
Mr.. Hepburn is 'shoveling the snow
away to get from his house to his
barn--if he be farmer-the Ari-
zona fruit-grower in favored locali-
ties will be picking ripe fruit, and
packing it for shipment to the
Eastern market. The gentleman
from Iowa must find some better
argument than the desert argument
to arge against the admission of
Arizona.-S. F. Chronicle.

said that this is critical year in the de-
veiopment of the hop industry in this
county. The soil and climate have been
found TO be admirably adapted for hops.
Thus far they have proved the most pro-
f;aole of all crops. Mr.. Dobson. Of the
John Dobson Hop Company, says his peo-
pie have averaged II cents per pound for
their product in five years. Mr.. Dohson
thinks that if this is an average year the
acreage will be doubled next season. He
believes that within i've years the rich
Chehalis and Newaukum valleys tributary
to this city will be the center Of the biggest
hop industry in the state.
The plans for the new building at the
reform school are now in the hands Of the
architect. The crowded condition Of the
school makes it necessary to furnish addi-
tional quarters as soon as possible. so this
building will be completed by the LIST Of
