Magnetic Sand for Cars.

An experiment has recently been
made near Orange, N. j., on the Sub
urban Traction Company, with mag
netic sand from the ore separating
works at Ogden. Edison had on idea
that the sand would have more effect
in preventing slipping of the wheels
than the ordinary sand. The expert
ment was tried during snow storm
on the Eagle Rock liue, where the
grades are excessive and the difficult
ties of operating in snow are enor-
nous. The experiment proved COM
plete success, the sand making per-
feet electrical connection with the
rails and no slip being noted.--Wash-

\ Man Falls 0fY the Colorado Bridge
 and Dies of Injuries Sustained.

About midnight last Saturday a man was discovered grooming and calling for help on a pile of rocks at the north end of the Colorado bridge. 4 short time before he stepped off the bridge, fully twenty feet above, and judging from the appearance of his head he must have struck partially on it. He was picked up and brought to this side and County Physician L. N. Moller summoned. The Doctor had him conveyed to the County hospital and dressed his injuries. The poor fellow was ter ribly hurt and suffered great agony until he died the following after noon at about f o'clock.
 The name given by the unfortu- nate man was Joseph Spears We were informed by an acquaintance of the deceased that hls home is in Cleveland, Ohio, and that his par ents are quite wealthy. It is sad he was in an intoxicated state when he met with the accident which cost him his life.
 Owing to some misunderstood on the part of those who have the burial of the county poor the body was not inferred until Monday morning. AS decomposition had early set in the odor coming from the coffin was something awful.

LABOR DAY PROCLAMATION.
TERRITORY OF ARIZONA, Executive Department


 Executive Department ]
 By an Act of Congress, approved June 18th, 1894, the first Monday in September, being the second day of the month, is designated as a legal holiday, to be known as Labor's day.
 As labor is the handspring of civilization, wealth and happiness, and it's conquests no- where striking as in the development and building us of our Republic, the wisdom of the law recognizing labor IS not only ap- parent but when applied to the people of our Territory who are struggling to develop its various resources and industries, and laboring to establish home in new region, is highly appropriate. Among our courag- eous, busy, industrious population there are few drones, few who cannot justly be classed as laborers; the merchant, the miner, tine mechanic, the lawyer, the farmer, the teacher. the clerk. the divine, the banker and the laborer, and while many earn their bread by the sweat of their face and others by the sweat of their brain, all are no less toilers
 A general observance of the day so wisely set apart by Con- gress will serve to promote a higher appreciation of labor, and the part it is taking in the development and carry ing on of our industries, for the upbuilding of which, all are so earnestly striving. This day should bring labor into a closer relation with other interests, and cultivate the principles of cooperation between "carital and labor, and thus encourage and estab fish wholesome feeling. with d view to more harmonious relations among all the people.
 Now, therefore, I, Louis c. Hughes, Governor of the Territory Of Arizona, do hereby recommend and request that all shops, offices, manufacturing and com mercial industries and other places where labor is employed, suspend operation on that day, that all may have an opportunity to observe the day in manner beftting the spirit which gave it birth, day which to future generations will become as sug- gestIve and inspiring as the religious and patriotic holidays which our people so loyalty and religiously observe.

CALL FOR A CAUCUS.
Irrigation Congress Delegates to
 Meet at Phoenix.

PHOENIX, Ariz., Aug. p, 1895. To the citizens of Arizona:
 The fourth national irrigation congress will meet at Albuquerque Sept, 1920. In it's sessions Ari- zonians without exception should feel the keenest interest, and we ask your cooperation to the end that from Arizona shall go full and energetic delegation of public spirited citizens to place most clearly and emphatically before the congress the needs and desires of the Territory,
 In no other portion of the union has irrigation so broad scope as in Arizona. Here now are being worked out the problems that be- fore many years will be solved, that millions of acres of fertile yet arid land shall be redeemed and shall be filled with every evidence of in- telligent husbandry. In irrigation development lies Arizona's future, and it is essential that in the com ing congress there be active but in- telligent work.
 To the end that unity of action be secured and that definite plans be formulated for the work that lies before us at the congress, 1t has been agreed upon as advisable that a caucus of the qualified Arizona delegates be held at Phoe- nix Sept. 2d. At this caucus Is also cordially invited the attend ance of all representatives of the the press and all irrigation, mining, transportation, manufacturing or commercial enterprises, that the common purpose of Arizona's ad' vancement may best be served.
 It is therefore asked that al delegates be at once appointed Those yet to be chosen within Arizona comprise one delegate each from regularly organized irri gation, agricultural societies, an6 from societies of engineers, irriga ton companies, agricultural col leges and commercial bodies.
 The Territorial delegates a large would be pleased to receive suggestions and expressions o opinions as to the matters tha should be brought to the attention of the congress, and trust tha every section of the Territory ma. be represented at Phoenlx, Sep tember 2nd, 1895.

IMPROVE THE STREETS.

For years the SENTINEL has devoted article after article on the condition of cur public streets, but as yet no heed has been paid to it's pleadings and ex- hortations by our citizens.
 Main street, ike principal thorough fare of our city has received more at tention from the SENTINEL than any other for the reason that the prop erty owners along it can well afford to lay sidewalk in front of their prop erty and also because it can be graded at very small expense. If this is done Yuma will be the possessor of one of the most beautiful streets of any city in the Territory.
 Today it resembles a camels back and is a disgrace to our citizens and an eye sore to everybody who has the welfare of Yuma at heart.
 The experience of ali modern cities and additions thereto has proved that money invested in grading streets and laying sidewalks, prior to sale of lots, yields most satisfactory returns. Where such improvements are made, the whole city plat is desirable prop erty, all lots being easily accessible. The demand spreads over the whole tract, anG the extra price realized for lots is such as to pay a handsome pro- it on the cost of the improvements. The demand is confined to the prop erty nearest the business center; there is a sharp fall in values with every half block from the center, and a few blocks out there IS no demand except at insignificant figures. In the Im- proved townsite the building oper- ations rapidly spread over the whole area; purchasers do not hesitate to erect residences in its most remote corners, and the even spread of such Improvements causes an enhancement of values throughout the town, that IS never realized in the townsite where the street work is saddled on the next generation. The present genera ton will gladly buy the street lm- provements when they buy their lots, and will then more readily assume the burden of other and more costly im- provements.

IT is shown by an analysis of census figures that more than half the men in twenty-eight of the forty-nine States and Territories are engaged in agriculture, and
 that farming is the leading pur- suit in all of them except New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut and New Jersey, where manufactnr- ing and mechanical arts take the lead. There are in the United States 9,6OO,OOO men engaged in agriculture to 9,22O,OOO in other forms of business. The steady growth of this country is sufficient
