M. G.. Samaniego, ie from the
round--ups, says that this year he
sees fifty head Of stock where =
few years ago we're 500 He says
the late stock losses were awful.
So depressed was the cattle bust
ness last spring that he had an OPP
portunity to buy brand OF stock
all complete, ranch, corrals, every
thing, for $4.75 a head. Owing to
illness he could not visit the ranch
at the time. Meanwhile rains
came on, grass grew, and cattle
stopped dying. Now the cattle are
worth IS more than they were Of
fersd for. The cattle arc not now
for sale.-Citizen.

In retiring from the land Office,
Mr.. Brown carries with him the
thanks of every n IN in Southern
Arizona who had any business du-
ring the last four years in the land
office. No officer ever served the
people of Arizona more satisfactor-
lily than Herbert Brown. He'd
make strong race for governor.
Honest as the day is long, one of
the plain people, old timers would
jump political fences all over Ari-
zona to flock to his support. Ora

The effect of the South Carolina
liquor law has been to greatly re-
duce the traffic in Intoxicating
liquors. When the law went into
effect on the first of July last, there
were 887 retail, and ID wholesale
dealers in the STATE. employing
about five thousand men. Now
there are only forty dispensaries.
The sales of three of these in the
city of Columbia anpnnted in Au-
gust to three thousand nine hun
dred and forty-three dollars as
against sales by thirty eight saloons
under the old law amounting tc
thirty-eight thousand dollars. Es-
timating the sales In the state at
large at the same average, there
was a reduction in the amount O.
liquor sold in the state in single
month of over eight hundred thou
sand dollars. --Leslies. y

Land of the Southwest.

The Irrigation Age says Arizona
and New Mexico are emerging from
the shadows.
The sunlight of prosperity and
territorial advancement are light
ing up the hills and valleys of the
southwest and today there is every
indication that these territories are
about ready for the responsibilities
of self government. Irrigation has
of late years been the most potent
factor in the upbuilling of these
territories. The grand possibilities
for success. both from q financial
and agricultural standpoint, have
invited capital and immigration,
land reclamation is in full swing all
over these sections of the broad
southwest.
Arizona is fortunate in her natu
raj conditions for irrigation progress
Much has been done and much re-
mains to be done in the work of
bringing water to the thirsty soil.
Today there are 500 miles of canals
exclusive of laterals, delivering
water to the land, reclaiming an
area of nearly 100000 acres of
land. It is safe to say that the
present water development Is ca
pable of reclaiming fully five times
that amount of land, and if this
were accomplished it would be but
the beginning. Sufficient water
could be impounded in the territory
of Arizona to render fertile 20,-.
100000 acres of land. The water.
is there, the land Is there ana crops
would be certainty; but the capi-
tai to be invested is wanting. Give
Arizona the public lands now lying
within her borders and she will
receive stimulus of growth and
prosperity such as is difficult of
comprehension.
There is a future and brilliant
one for these two territories of the
southwest. Irrigation is the key
to the situation. Irrigation will
yet make these lsnds as fruitful as
they were in prehistoric times.

Martin Maier's well-known dog,
'sCarlo," has mysteriously disap-
peared. When last seen he was
passing over the an't-I-leave-her
foot bridge, going west. Carlo was
cut out for small deg, but for
years his sole drink was beer and
his food dry crackers. He kept
full on beer all the time, until he
became so bloated that his body
was almost as broad as long, and
his little dog legs were entirely too
weak to support his big dog body,
and he posed as horrible example
of the beer habit to the balance OF
the canine race. He was a COM
mon drunk and drank like dog,
and no self-respecting. dog would

AN ESSAY on PANTS.

US by boy of Kansas who reads our adj
vertsements
AN ESSAY ON PANTS.
Pants are made for men, and not men
for pants. Women are made for men
and not for pants. When man pants
for woman and woman pants for
man they are pair of pants. Such pants
don't last. Pants are like molasses they
are thinner in hot weather and thicker in
cold. The man in the moon changes his
pants during the eclipse. Don't you go
to the pantry for pants; you might be
mistaken. Men are often mistaken in
pants. Such mistakes make brooches of
promise. There has been much discussion
as to whether pants is singular or plural.
Seems to us when men wear pants they
are plural, and when they don't wear any
pants it is singular. Men go on a tear in
their pants and it is all right, but when
the pants go on tear it is all wrong.
But Chapman's Pants are all O. X.
