Brazil, Ind, Aug. General Mana
ger Broughton, of the Chicago & East
err Illinois railroad, has arrived in the
city, and ordered the company's divi-
sion shops taken down and loaded pre-
paratory to moving them to Momence
III
A committee of thirty business men
waited upon Mr.. Broughton and re-
uuested that the shops be allowed to re-
main.
He answered that he was simply car
rying out the instruction of the COM
pany; that the city and county authori-
ties had refused the company protec-
ton here and bitterly censured Sheriff
Ringo for appearing on the company
property when appealed to for protec-
ton, wearing the white ribbon, and
when deputies We're asked for he swore
in strikers and the engines were loaded
with oil cans filed with emery etc. He
said the boarding houses and eating
houses had refused to feed the men and
they thought it best to move the shops.
The business men assured the company
of protection and called a law and
order meeting at the opera house to
take steps in the matter. The company
is tearing down the coach house today.
A telegram was received from Presi-
dent Carpenter telling the men to finish
tearing down the building and said
future action depended on future condi-
tons here.
If the shops are moved it is said the
city will sue the company for $4,000
given the road when it was built here
on the promise that the shops would
be maintained here. The lawyers are
searching for the agreement, but it
seems to be lost.

A CLOUD ON THE ESTATE.
ParaIyzing Effects of the Big Stan.
ford SuIf.


San Francisco. Aug. 4.-The Chroni-
Gle says: Although the claim of the
United States against the Leland Stan
ford estate for S15.OOOOOG does not be-
come due until January Is. 1895, there
is every reason to believe that proceed
ings in the state courts to collect the
alleged Indebtedness will be commenc-
ed at a much earlier date.
The suit has put cloud on the title
of every portion of the valuable es-
tate, there to remain until the legality
of the claim has been passed upon by
the courts, or until the time for COM
mencing an action for enforcing its
collection mas passed and the right for
such suit lost.
Mrs. Stanford and her attorneys are
confident that the governments claim
is wholly unfounded and that a judg-
ment in its favor will never be grant
e0. Therefore, the prospect for a
long delay in the settlement and dis
tribution Of the dead senator's estate
is not inviting. and will be prevented,
if such q thing is possible. The Sc
Questration of an amount sufficient to
meet the governments claim would
mean the swallowing up of the entire
estate. and ii will be fought vigorous
ly. The distribution OF the estate can
not take place until all the claims
against it have been settled, and it has
not yet been determined whether there
is sufficient TO meet all claims.

South Park Road Segregated From
the Union Pacific.

Denver, Aug 4-Receiver Frank
Trumbull Of the Unon Pacific, Denver
& Gulf railroad, was this afternoon
appointed receiver of the South Park
road, otherwise known as the Denver,
Leadville & Gunnison branch of the
Union Pacific. The appointment was
made by Judge Hallett under bill of
foreclosure filed in the United States
district court by the American Loan &
Trust company, of Boston, trustee for
the bondholders. Mr.. Trunbulrs bond
was placed at $4,000. The road will
now be operated as part of the Gulf
system, and is absolutely segregated
from the Union Pacific. The separa-
ton of the South Park from the Union
Pacific leaves that road in Colorado
only its Cheyenne branch and the
branch from Denver to La Sale.
The South Park has always been an
expensive road to operate, owing to its
steep grades and snow blockades in
winter and it has not paid expenses
since it was consolidated with the
Union Pacific although previous to
that it made a great deal of money.
Receiver Trumbull arranged for tour
of inspection of the road Immediately
after his appointment.

A Cnre Tor Asthma.
R. B. BRYAN.

There is a weed which grows in Sou thern Arizona and Northern Mexico which is called by the Mexicans talao- che, the curative properties of which are well understood by them. The dried. leaves of the plant are put in a pipe aud smoked like tobacco, and un- doubtedly give great relief in asthma if not elfeciing cure. The plant grows about two feet and a half high with long pointed leaves. It comes up usually after the summer rains and grows plentifully in the mountain canyons. .- Yuma Tines,

ods and success. In letter from his rancho, eighteen miles above Tucson. of date December 6, 1892, which he wrote to my brother, he says: Il raise two crops on all the land l plant. viz: from November to May, hay wheat or barley), average abont q tons per acre-haye never sold any at less than S20 per ton; the ground lies idle until the first of July. and then l plant beans, harvesting in October, from l5O0 to POGO lbs per acre-never have sold q bean less than sS0 per ton. and many at five to six cents pound; plant again in November to hay. and then in June to corn, getting as much as eighty bushels per acre-neyer sold corn for less than two cents per pound. All produce is worth about double here what it is at Phpnix, as freight is over $500 per ton, and Tucson does not produce one-fourth of what she consumes. Hay is worth at harvest here $500 to Sl000 per ton, and six months later $20 to S25.. Mexicans sell as soon as they can and as soon as that is consumed those who hold get double or more. l sold all my hay in a block last year at s20 per ton. can depend upon clearing s5O.OO per acre from the land l cultivate, and can make more in proportion out of small piece, forthe minute you extend beyond what you can personally over- see, your profits begin to decrease, as Mexican labor cannot be depended on.
 ADVICE FOR LARGE OWNERS.
 If you purchase a large piece of land do notattempt to farmit through an agent in the towns, but if you in- sist on making it pay from the start by raising annual crops, put respon- sible married man on it and furnish him with say two Mexicans, and let him handle what he can conveniently and well. and work with the men him. self. Keep this force the year round, and when they are not busy with crops put them to planting trees and vines to improve the balance of the land Grain land will never go high: orchards always into the hundreds, and perhaps into the thousands per acre: in three years your vines will bring you double the profit of your grain lands, besides increasing their value three or four hundred per cent.v
 In conclusion it must be borne in mind that Mir. Hartt is a man of great energy and great resource in emer- gency. and thinks and acts prudeatly and has abundant capital.

 PUMPING By STEAM
 For large areas these appliances, by duplication of devices used on small tracts, would be equally practicable, but it is we'll to see other ways Of sup plying water, and propose to show what has been aud may be done with steam and shall quote facts from the experience of q pioneer bumper in that line. some faur scars ago Mir. Wm. 4. IIarti of Tucson. with the courageof bis convictions, started in to prove that water could be pumped from depths Of from fifty to sixty feet, to proHtably irrigate laud in the upper Santa Cruz valley, about eighteen miles above Tucson. The flow even there is subterrancan except in the rainy season, the ground is thickly covered with mesquite of some size, and the rainfall there is about twelve inches but not seaSonable, and must be largely supplemented by irrigation. The history of his experiments with different kInds of pumps puisometer- Nye-Grecly and other styles would be very interesting but inappropriate here in detail The result of years of patient and expensive tests proved to his satisfaction that economy and clli- ciency in steam pumping for large areas was Go he found in the highest degree hy using duplex compound pumps with condenSers.

 PINPINe AS AN INSURANCE.
 Most people have a mistaken idea in regard Co irrigation by pumping. The popular opinion is that the pump does all the work, when the fact is the rain does most of the work. IN. E. This does not apply to Arizola, with four inches onlyof rainfall anuu- ally F. B. B.l and the pump is more of an insurance wherein if danger threatens you pay the premium by pumping, and are sure Of your crop. When my crops want water they get il within two hours, which is a great advantage over waiting on q ditch company or taking half allowance. If | had water rights under ditch today would not be without a pump as an insurance. provided had a supply of water to pump from. The additional crop obtained soon pays for the plant"
 EFFICIENCY OF FUEL.
 To the district about Arizola fuel is an important item in pumping by steam. since it is scarce and conse- quently expensive and the immedi- ate supply would be soon exhausted. With the discovery of coal in Sonora, Mexico and southern Arizona, and with the completion Of the Prescott x Phmnix railroad. bringing the coal Of Northern Arizona within easy reach. the fuel problem would be sim plihed. In a letter of Mir. Hartts to the citizens of Willcux, Arizona, as to the cost of producing water, &c., he says: .ln actual every day service, as demonstrated on my ranch. cord of well seasoned wood lmesquite weigh Ing about 4500 pounds, will operate my plant for ten hours, producing 1000 gallons Of water per minute ll20,- 000 gallons per hour at an elevation from below Of sixty 60l feet, or ,200,- 000 gallons per day. enough to cover fifteen l5l acres three13l inches deep. If, as some authorities claim, an acre foot tor tho amount of water necessary to cover an acre one foot deep properly applied without loss, tand land properly cultivated will irrigate an acre one year, then cord of mesquite wood tor it's equivalent, a ton of soft coall will pump enough wa ter to irrigate B acres for year. A great deal depends upon the kind of soil, annual rainfall, the crop and the care in using whether such volume of water will do more CT less service. A California miners inch' amounts to q continuous flow of about nine gal Ions per minute, and by the above fig ures it will be seen thata cord of mes quite tor ton of coal will maintain a cpntinuous flow of one miners inch for over ninety-two days of twenty four hours, besides raising it sixty feet high.

GROWING FUEL.

To resident in the north or east, accustomed to the slow growth of trees, the idea of growing ones own fuel would seem prepoSterous. but to those who have seen the extraordin ary annual growths made by such trees as the cottonwood, eucalyptus, poplar and other we'll known rapid growers, in the long season, warm climate and abundant sunshine of Arizona, when well supplied with water, the idea has nothing startling about it. On this subject MT. Hartt says; Good wood at S2 per cord is cheap fuel, and there is no reason why man who is irrigat- ing should ever pay more after the first year or two. A live line fence can be planted of any quick growing wood, suitable for fuel. By cutting off one-half the fence every other winter yog will get from one to three good sized cordwood sticks from every shoot. The trees will only save water that would otherwise eyaporate and be lost, and serve as windbreaks, objects of beauty and shade
