On the 10th of January, train of twenty one cars loaded with coal and provisions left Atlanta for Lincoln, Ne braska. This IS due to the efforts of ex- Governor Northen, who was recently in Nebraska, having an extensive ac- qualntance with prominent men m that state. He was quick to see the need of help for the famine-strlken region and appealed to the people of Georgia to send train load of provis- ions. The appeal met with prompt re- sp"nse, and the above mentioned train vas the result. One of the cars was loaded by individual contributions from the directors of the cotton states and International exposition.

FINANCIAL OUTLOOK.

Money is an agreed medium which makes practicable the exchange Of things desired. The producing power of the entire country is behind its legal tender and national bank notes. No paper money has value under competi- tive system that does not promise to deliver some time physical product of labor. The only product ever yet accepted as such basis, has been that acknowledged by the people of time as the best.

There are two hopes in which Pinal county is Indulging, and not without good cause.

Nevertheless some of the desp ndent ones say that it may not go through Florence it 1t is built from Phoenix to Cslabasas. For this fear they give no ground. Florence is like Tucson, willing to guarantee enough for a survey when the road is built, but declining to come down on mere hopes. All the inducements in the world in the way of depot site and grounds, centrally located, will be ten dered the railroad people. The north and south road will bring the heart of the county in touch with the outside world. Getting to Tucson or Phoenix will then be only matter of getting on the cars and paying dollar or two of fare. An outlet will be provided for the crops of the ranches that line almost

At first it was decided among the republicans to settle the contest in caucus, but failing in this it was thrown into the house and all members gwen an opportunity to express their prefer ences. 1hls resulted in the election of Carpenter by one vote. It will be noted that but one Pima county legislator voted for Dr. Wright, namely, Cheno- weth, of Nogslee. The other three stood by the Yuma nominee. Dr.

DEMOCRATIC senators who started out to show the democrats of the house how easy it was to agree upon financial bill made very short trip. They did not agree upon financial bill,-nobody really expected them to-but they split the democratic factions little wider apart than they were before. Indeed, 1t may really be said that they added a new faction to those already existing in the ranks of the party. The democra- tic patty in the senate now consists of the Cleveland men, or cuckoos, who are few in mum Der and small iu influence; the Gormanites, or anti Cleveland men, who have dominated the little that has been dole by the majority of the senate, and David B. Hill, who Is alone in the senate, but wbo is feared because oi his influence in the party outside of congress. With these factions each pulling a different wsv nothing can be done in the senate that does not receive the support of the republicans. It is because of thls fact that business con- tinues to improve, notwithstanding democratic attempts to tinker with the finance, as they did with t! tariff. The business men Cf the country know that the repu blican senators can be depended upon to prevent any dieasterous finan- cial legislation, and hope that they can induce the majority to agree to some tariff amendments that will make the revenues of the government sufficient to meet the expenditures before the session closes.

one of the chief crops, brings S2 to D g ton less than 1t would with railroad,
 due to the expense of hauling. The rail- road will be the salvation or PInal fcoanty.
 Tue other great resource of PInal IS the Butte reservoir. Situated east of Florence about fifteen miles is the site, positively the finest natural site for s reservoir in the whole world. It IS be- tween two huge powders several hun dsed feet high. The maximum width
 between them is 175 feet. The height is greater than would ever be needed. By plecing dam between these buttes water could be backed for twenty miles and cover an area of probably sixty
 square miles to depth of an average of
 twelve or fifteen feet. The dam could
 be located below an elbow iD the pass
 between the buttes, so that the force
 and pressure of the stream above would
 al come against one butte and not
 against the dam. There dam could
 5e erected I75 feet high. This height
 would back the water twenty miles.
 This would bring the water of the Gila s2cvA land of en immense area. It
 would reach over the mesa lands from
 Casa Grande to Mesa and furnish abun-
 dance of water for the same. AS write
 the roar of the river may be heard a
 half mile away with water that Is going to the sea doing no man any good.
 Were the dam in at the Buttes that
 water would now be creeping up the walls and backing and backing. When it would be needed there 1t would be ready for the land, to make green the world here8bouts and cause the land to bring forth in abundance. Another big item of profit from the dam Is that with such fall as 200 feet acquired, which is hIgher than the great Niagra falls, cleo triGty of almost untold power could be generated. This could be utilized for the working of some good ores in that vicinity. In the immediate neigh Dor hood of the Buttes are several good properties, now costly to work owing to scarcity of fuel. Big money could be made working the ores of these proper ties. such 8 lake ss would be found would of course make resort site un- paralleled ID Arizona. In summer it would be pleasant for boating. bathing and fishing, and in winter for duck hunters. A hotel there, however, would be very small issue in comparison with the main features of the proposition. The site has been loca ed by Tempe man named Chandler. He has made surveys and some soundings. What has been thought to be bedrock has been found at depth of forty-five to fifty feet. Perhaps, however, that Is only powders in the river bed Soundings are expensive and before work could be done for bed rock hole would be want ed, bored deep into the real bottom of the Gils. The pass through the Buttes may be Assure and deep to bottom or only the result of erosion of the Gila for scores of centuries. The total out lay required for the project is S2, 100000. This outlay is bard to obtsln during the present depression, but the profita would be enormous. A Scotch sypdi cate are now negotiating for the proJect. They are said to be entirely able to cope with it and are pleased with the outlook. It is expected that they will do some thing with it.

Granite Tribune: The gold mine
in Redwood county is enjoying that
quietude that characterizes most enter
prises of that nature. The excitement
dies of it's own weight and only few
mourn it's decease- those who invest
good dollars for prospective ones. We
have had several booms of like kind
and can't say if they gave this locality
any sudden growth. There may be
gold but the trouble seems to be it re-
qrires too much to develop it. s.
Several small boys waded across the
mad Minnesota river just below the
foot bridge Friday, where we have
seen the water not let than ten feet
deeper than it is now. Fact is the
river has left and few deep holes re-
main to designate the bed where the
stream once pranced along on it's way
to the father:of waters.
Some time last winter Rev. John
Sinclair delivered a sermon at the
Presbyterian church on life in the
lumber camps. The sermon was SO
true to nature that the w. G. T. L. of
this city had copy of the sermon
prepared and sent to Miss Fife
Burgan of Princeton, secretary of the
State w. e. T. U. At the meeting in
Waseca last week Miss. Burgan re-
ported that she read the sermon be-
fore crowd of lumbermen at Still
water some time ago, and they were
so we'll pleased with it that they asked
for it's second reading. Over five
hundred lumbermen we're present at
that reading and nearly all of them
asked for printed copies because the
sermon depicted camp life so accurate
ly. 1t was read again at Waseca and
the State delegates ordered it printed
in tract form for distribution. 1t will
also be published IN the official organ
of the w. G. T. U.
Richard Gerdes was taken to the
St. Peter insane asylum from Fairfax
last Monday. He was committed by
the Renville county authorities. Mr..
Gerdes' commitment is another chap
ter in the history of that unfortunate
man. People will remember his bust
ness failure at Morgan about three
years ago. MIR. Gerdes has practically
been unbalanced ever since that time.
He spent his time between Morton,
Morgan and Fairfax. On one or two
occasions it was thought he was the
victim of delirium tremens, but III,
sudden recovery from these attacks
proved otherwise and they we're but
the commencement signs of the fatal
disease for which he has been sent to
the asylum for treatment. Mr. Gerdes
was a clever, genial person to meet
and his many friends sympathize with
him deeply. He was member of the
Republican county committee at one
time and last year deposited Redwood
county's vote of Fl for Sam Peterson
in the Peterson boiling Senatorial
convention.
