IRRIGATION PROJECTS.

The irrigation question, says the Inter Ocean, will be submitted to the Fifty-fourth congress, and not improb> ably to the last session of the Fifty third. There is danger lest it to be pre- sented by too many persons and in too many forms of application. It may be well for the friends of irrigation to get together and unite upon measure that shall have the support of all Congress men from states in which there are arid lands. It hardly needs to be said that the topic should be discussed outside of party lines
 The public domain, leaving the arid lands out of consideration, now is very limited; in few years there will be DO tillsble land available for homesteads. The area of arid lands still under na- tionsl or state control is great, but arid lands are worthless as homesteads. Not until large outlsys of capital have made them irrigsble can they be made pro- ductive. When made irrigsble they are among the most productive lands. The arid lands also lie largely in regions in which the choicest fruits ripen to per lection when artificial moisture is ap. piled. Irrigated regions are regious of small farms, of populations that enjoy at once the advantages of towns, in that neighbors are near. and of the country in that they are not too near. Irrigated

IMPLEMENTS OF GAMING.
Curious Origin of Playing Cards
 Dice and DominOes.
India and China the Source of These Pe- culiar PIaythings Some of the Games Played by the
 Mongolians.

Who would suppose that playing cards were originally derived from the knuckle bones of sheep? Yet such is the fact. If you do not believe it, ask Stewart Culin, ethnologist, attached to the University of Pennsylvania, who, according to the Washington Star, has made the study of games, from the scientific point of view, his speciality The sO-called knuckle bones are famil- far enough, being used to this day by children in various parts of the world. They are the ankle bones of the sheep, and are four-sided. 1t seems odd to ind that dice in Arabic are called by name which means ankle bones. No body knows how long they were first employed for playing games. One day it occurred to somebody that a cube was better adapted to the purpose. That must have happened in very an- cient times, for the Romans of old had dice which were just like our own, even to the arrangement of the num- bers on the faces-i. c., the six opposite the one, the five opposite the two, and the four opposite the three.
 It will be observed that the sum of any two opposite numbers is always seven. This may have something to do with the fact that seven used to be regarded as a magical number. Of the respect accorded to it there is evidence in many passages of the Bible The most ancient cubical die known dates back to 500 E. C.-that is, twenty-five hundred years ago. It was found at Naucratus, Greek colony in Egypt. The earliest dice were made in pairs, right and left, like knuckle bones, one of which was always from the right leg and the other from the left leg of the animal. Two dice were usually employed, because they were two knuckle bones. Mir. Culin says that dice probably originated in India. From that country they were carried to China, whence they have been dis tributed all over the world. The Chi nese are great gamesters; they invent ed modification of the dice, which is called the domino. Put two dice faces side by side and you have the domino. DominOes are said to have been. uCNAoCO HI bhC NCdA IA~V OA OhC NAA tian era by a Chinese emperor for the amusement of his wives. It is more likely, however, that they merely ob- tained the imperial approval at that date.
 There are twenty-one possible throws with two dice, so twenty-one dOminoes may be regarded as natural dominoes. However the Chinese have doubled up some of the numbers so as to make full set for playing thirty-twO in all. All over eastern Asia the customary outfit of dOminOes is thirtytwO. Our dOminOes, obtained by way of Europe. are only twentv-eight and are modified by the introduction of blanks. The domino game of Europe and America is the match game. It is played in China, but is an unimpOrtant one among the many Chinese games of dominOes- The Chinese domino games are all of them dice games elaborated. DOminOes are also used in Chira. like dice, for for tune telling. That system of divina- tion has an extensive literature of it's own. The Chinese dOminOes all have

RISE TO THE OCCASION.

Just at time when almost every inn
 portspt locality throughout the United States is energetically and laudably en-
 gagged in presenting to the great mass of the people everywhere its varied re- sources and attractions, recountiEg the steps of its progress through the year, and seeking thereby to induce immigra-
 tion and interest capital. the New Years edition of THE CITIZEN will be oppor- tune indeed. We believe that just such
 efforts in this direction as are being
 made by THE CITIZEN in the interests Of Pima county, and particularly her leading cities, cannot but be greatly
 beneficial to our growth and prosperity. And while the tune is Cpportune, the advantages offered through the favora-
 ble comparison with other localities is another reason that urges its presenta- tion with the beginning of the New Year. For there is no one who is at all acquainted with the many attractions and unboupded resources of Pima coun-
 ty, and the splendid opportunities for profitable investment therein, who can justly claim that this bounteously bless ed region could suffer by comparison. Much depends, however, on the lib- eral and general cooperation of the peo- pie in the issuance of such a work as is being prepared for the purpose named. With their Individual support, such an edition as is being published, can and will be equal in every detail to any pub lished elsewhere, and far surpass all pre- vious efforts that have essayed to pro-
 mote our prosperity.
 It therefore devolves upon those who
 have their own and their communIty's welfare at heart to take full advantage of the opportunity thus presented to ad- vertise thoroughly and well. Five thousand copies will be printed, but should the people grasp the importance of the occasion. enter into the spirit of the scheme, and help to disseminate the good news everywhere as they should, the edition can be easily quadrupled. Send iD your orders immediately, stat ing number required. They will be sold in 100 lots at Sl0 and less proportion ately. Help on the good cause!

reglons are areas that approximate tc the suburban condition. Farming by irrigation almost always is diversified farming, so that disaster seldom follows the failure of single crop. The ideal rural condition of the next half century is likely to be that of the owner of an irrigated farm of from twenty to forty acres.
 But in the large outlay demanded for irrigation canals there is danger of the combination of capital for the control of the irrigated lands. To obviate this several plans looking to the establish ment of irrigation works by the states in whose confines arid lands lie have been proposed. Each plan contem plates the cessicn of the United States title to such lands tC the states; some of the plans contemplate national loans to the states for the construction of irrigating canals; others contemplate state sale of psrts of the lands for raising capital to irrigate the residue: but all, as we be- lieve, contemplate such state super vision or ownership as shall prevent cspitalistic monopoly either of the water supply or of the lands benefited by it.
 The problem to be solved is the out lay of capital sufficient for irrigation works, without such interest on the capital as shall raise the price of the irrigated lands beyond the means of the comparatively poor. A late sug- gestion IS that the irrigation work shall be done by the unemployed of the large cities. The project is benevolent, but it may be doubted if skilled mechanics or persons born in cities and unac- customed to the use of spade and shovel and pick will be found to volunteer largely for such work. But no doubt large numbers of Poles, Bohem ians, Italians, and other nationalities who have come hither from agricultural dis tricts of Europe, and who now aggra- vaie the congested cond lion of urban labor, will be found ready to accept good pay for work to which they are accustomed. And specially may this be the case if the wages nre so arranged as to insure small homestead at the exl iration of q term of years. It would be easy to do thIs by holdIng back part of tie waye as payment for irri- gated Ian !, and by thi means two benef icent objects can be accomplished-the furnishing Of present support and the provision of permanent home.

FOUR KINDS OF WOOD.
All Parts of One Tree Now Growing on
 the Elk River. Missouri.

All OHe NOW On
 the Elk River, Missouri.
 Four miles from Pineville, Mo-, on the grounds of J. l.. Parish, is a freak of nature so curious that if l had hot seen it with my own eyes I could scarcly have believed it possible, says a writer in the Kansas City Times. On the bank of Elk river rises large tree that towers high above the neighbor- ing trees. At the ground a solid, but tress trunk appears, from eight to ten feet in diameter. A little higher than a mans head this high trunk divides into four lesser trunks, the two smaller of which are in themselves fair-siZed trees, while the other two are far above the average size. Here comes in the queer part of the story. Of these diver gent trunks the two larger ones are re- spectively an elm and a sycamore while the two smaller ones are an oak and sycamore. Above the union of common trunk each tree, in leaf, branch and bark, is normal to it's type. The trunk itself seems one homo genous whole. would not presume to say that close examination would not show in the bark from different sec tions of the trunk those peculiarities that distinguish the bark of one tree from that of another, but certainly these characteristics do not show on cursory examination, nor are their lines of jointure visible where the four trunks coalesce. I doubt if anyone can point to stranger growth than this two sycamores, an oak and an elm, all growing from one common trunk. This meeting together of four youthful tree trunks as they thicl<ened with age is occasionally seen. but this is an unu- sually fine illustration. Each tree must, however, form its own bark that is to say, no one of them has been wholly enveloped by another. Hence careful investigation ought to dis close slight line where the incurving bark Of each original tree meets.

| Never was more interest shown in 8 city convention, never more enthusiasm and never a larger attendance than was at the republican mass meeting last night. There was not a moment that lacked interest the whole evening through.
 The convention was called to order l by J. M. Ormsby, who made an excellent presiding officer. He reported the absence of Chairman Charles Bowman through illness.
 Dr. Matas made speech at the out set in which were some excellent sugges- tions for the improvement of the city, in the way of pavements, shade, sprink- ling, 8 city market, etc, on lines already i laid out in his articles published in the CITIZEN, which are concluded else- whaIe in the presnt issue. The 6oc- tors remarks were heartily received and that they were endorsed is demon strated by his nomination by acclama- tion and m the face of protests from
 
 favored pledged platform, which was endorsed in remarks by General John son.
 Then began the balloting. Henry Buehman wos unanimously a8d enthu- siastically nominated for mayor. A, Bart Horton nominated Ralph King for councilman at large, on behalf of the youna men. MT. King declined H,,< SoI to ( the approval of Superintendent Noble. General Johnson made forcble speech for Pedro Lopez, endorsing him as a strong man, and man who would re- present the Mexican people on the re- publican ticket. BallOtins followed, with exci:i-g closeness. Mir. Lopez got 80 votes, MT. King79.
 For councilman of the first ward a determined offort was made to nominar. Mir. King but he positively declined, De M8tas was made the unanimous choic- of the convention and though he pro tested, It was to DO avail. The conven. insisted that man who had the welfare of the city so muchiat heart was their choice and they would take no refusel.
 Mir. Freeman made neat speech nominating "big honest Tom Wilson," he got on chair to make his speech, saying it was necessary for hlm to do SO he was going to nominate such big man. MT. Wilson was unanimously nominated.
 c. T. Connell and Jndge Culver were nominated for city recorder. Judge Culver later withdrew.
 Then followed the nomination of Judge Culver for city treasurer. This met with everybodys accord, and Judge Culver WAS nominated.
 Five candidates wese out for the assessorship and tine contest was close one. The candidates were William Reid, I. A. Shedd, John Meyer, Richard Starr and Paul Heermans. The counting started out with MT. Reid in the lead which he held almost to the end of the counting. Towards the end MT. Heer- mans gained, the count showing HeermsDs 67, Reid 63.
 R. E. Paul and Ignacia Calville were the nominees for marshal. Mir. Paul showed considerable lead in the count and MT. Cslvillo withdrew, asking that the nomination be made unanimous.
 Resolutions and platform will be drawn up tomorrow.

CAT KILLS AN EAGLE.
The Bird of Freedom No Match for Its
 Four-EOoted Opponent.


 Persons living at Carbonate, Lawrence county, s. D., the other day witnessed a remarkable struggle between a eat and an eagle, in which the eat was the victor, killing its antagonist. The eat. says the Chicago Herald, is owned by Charles Wiswell. of Carbonate, and has for some time been in the habit of kill ing rabbits, nighthawks, mountain rats and other small game. While watching for the reappearance of a chip munl1 which it had chased into a hole, the eat was bounced upon by full grown eagle of the bald species. Pussy accepted the gage of battle thrown down by the eagle. It was desperate struggle, and although the eat was badly scratched by the eagles talons, it secured decided advantage. For a few moments the air was filled with fur and feathers and the ground was all torn up for many yards around the spot, but pussy in a short time sue ceeded in biting through the neck of the eagle. The struggles of the bird of freedom grew weaker and weaker and soon ceased altogether. Pussy, exhausted by the violent exertions and sore from the wounds inflicted by the eagles talons, rested for moment; then, as calm as though sitting on a rug before the kitchen fire. went carefully about smoothing out its ruff fled fur. The com bat was witnessed by a number of people, everyone of whom expressed desire to buy the cat, but NIT. Wiswen says he would not sell it for the best mine in the Black hills. The eagle measured six feet four inches from tip to tip.

A SPLENDID WORK.

The CITIZEN takes great pleas- ure ID announcing to its readers, and particularly those of Pima county, that it has perfected arrangements by which in January 1st, 1895, a magnificent, com prehensive and elaborate special edition of THE CITIZEN will be issued. It has been thoroughly considered, and the conclusion is emphatic that Pima coun- ty generally is fully ripe for the com plete and free advertising that its vast re- sources and manifold attractions so amply justify; and not only justify, but urgently demand. The spirit of progress and renewed activity that is beginning to emanate from financial, commercial and general sources, concomitant with and resultant from desired political change, should impel those who would bs in the van of prosperity to such et- forts as will rebound to their own bene- fit and that of the community in which as we'll as the pslpable fact that of all times this is one of the best in which to undertake 90 great task, because of the ushering in of the New Year, when changes and new aspirations fit around the chariot wheels of time. THE CITI- ZEN begins the work with full faith in its ability and in the stsunoh and liber- al support Of all Pima county's enter prising, broad minded and progressive business men.
 The New Years edition will contain 8 graphic description ID minute detail, of every industry and characteristic of the county. and will be profusely illus trated. The whole will be bound in ele- Qant covers, and 5000 copies will be printed. The entire work will be com piled under the supervision of Mir. N. W. Macleod, a newspaper man we'll known all over the west, and its literary excellence and general sttrsctiveness are thus assured.
 It is hoped that the business men of Tucson, Nogales and surrounding towns will give th.s important undertaking their b-st and heartfelt support, as the benefits to be derived therefrom. both directly and indirectly, must of necessi- ty help Tucson and Pima county to speedily attain the destined goal of so- cial and commercial supremacy among the choicest regions of the west.
