Several important improvements have
been made during the year, and others are
under way. The new iire-proof buildi.g
for sane women, in course of construction
at the time of our last report, has beeit
completed and Is now occupied. The con-
duit, through which steam pipes run from
the boiler house to the building, has also
been finished, and though the expenditure
for this item may seem large, II was not
only necessary, but will ultimately prove n
work of economy by the lesser cost of re-
pears of pipes, and by avoiding the danger
of damage in making excavations for
such repairs. The Mems building for
merly womens) was the first building
erected at Hillside Home after its aC-
QUESTION by the district. 1t had fallen into
bad repair, and the plumbing and steam
fitting We're not such as sanitary officers
would approve. We have made extensive
improvements on 1t during the year. and
1t is now almost ready to be occupied.
The necessity of more farm land has
long been felt by the directors. The dis
trict had for many years been leasing pas
ture for its cattle at II cost of $500 q Year,
and the board felt inclined to increase
the number of horned cattle so as to give
n larger supply of milk for the Home.
We have purchased during the year forty
under contract one hundred additional
acres at the same rate. The price Is low,
the other proposals to sell land contiguous
to our farm approNimating 500 an acre.
The fertility of the farm may be Judged
from the fact that we harvested 200 bush
els of potatoes an acre from II this season.
The Increase In the expenditure for out
| door relief over last year iS accounted for
| by the decisions Of court, rendered early
| In the year, which greatly increased the
class of cases in which outdoor relief may
| be legally given over what was held dur
| ing the year preceding. our system of
| administration of outdoor relief is highly
| commended by the best authority as be-
| ing calculated to prevent fraud upon the
| district, and in no case Is relief granted
until n searching investigation has been
made into the needs of the applicant,

days ago steel rails went up from $22
to $24. The increase 10 the railroad
demand is probably accountable for
the advance in all these lines, and
this increase is largely due to the
prospects for better crops than last
year and to the strong likelihood Of
greater demand for them in Europe.
So far as governmental finances affect
the market at all at presentth iniu-
ence Is good, for they are in better
condition than they we're in at any
previous time since 1899. There is an
improvement, indeed, as compared
with that year, for though the general
cash and gold balances were higher
then than they are now, they were go
ing down, and the coming eonyulsion
was, even 1892, casting its shadow
before. At present the Treasury con-
diton is improving, Notwithstanding
the deficits, and danger, in the near
future at least, can not come from
that source.-Globe. Democrat.

The Frightening Business Prospects.
As the season advances the business
outlook grows brighter. The latest
issue of the "Iron Age says that
''the past week has been one OF the
most stirring in the history of the iron
trade for many years" an advance in
prices occurring along the line, and il
adds that 'the most extraordinary
thing is that the upward tendency has
developed so fast without the power.
ful aid of heavy purchases from the
principal consumers, the railroads. "
The railroads have been buying more
extensively than they did year ago,
but, as that paper further remarks,
"they have not yet taken hold as they
will IL finances get into better shape
and crops do better than the earliest
scare stories would indicate"
Since that forecast was made the
conditions have improved The Gov.
eminent crop report indicates a wheat
yield of about 4OO,OOO,OOO bushels,
but as these estimates are usually far
below the mark and as the rains have
come since the report was made, il is
safe TO figure on a much larger crop
than this. In 1894 the actual yield
turned out to be between $4,000, 900
and 100000 greater than the Gov
eminent forecast, and large margin
for error in the same direction should
be allowed this year Probably AGO..
100000 or 475, 100000 would be
reasonably conservative estimate. The
outlook for corn was never better at
this time than it is now. The acreage
and the present condition would indi-
cate a yield of 10O,0O0,O0O or p
200, 100000 bushels. Estimates on
corn, however, so early in the season
as this can not be made with much
as long spells of drouth in
July or August or frost in the latter
month may come aud disturb all cal
culations made now.

An Old Sailors Housekeeping.

Capt. Cephas did not like woman's
ways, especially her ways of attending
to domestic affairs. He liked to live in
sailor fashion and to keep house in sailor
fashion. In his establishment everything
was shipshape, and everything which
could be slowed away was slowed away,
and, if possible, in bunker. The floors
were holystoned nearly every day, and
the whole house was reprinted about
twice year, little at a time, when
the weather was suitabl for this marine
recreation. Things not in frequent use
were dashed securely to the walls, or
perhaps put out of the way by being
hauled up to the ceiling by means of
blocks and tackle. His cooking was
done sailor fashion, like everything else,
and he never failed to have plum-duff on
Sunday. His well was near his house,
and every morning he dropped into it
lead and line, and noted down the depth
of water. Three times day he entered
into little notebook the state of the
weather, the height of the mercury in
the barometer and thermometer, the di-
rection of the wind and special weather
points when ecessary.-Century Maya

DO NOT CARE FOR PENNIES.

Citizens of Arizona Have No Regard for
Small Change.
Have you ever noticed that men in
Arizona do not pay their bills with
chicken feed or small change? In the
older states when a purchase is made,
exact change is usually rendered, and one
thing certain-a bill is not broken If it
can possibly be avoided. Here in the
West any ordinary little purchase is made
simply by asking for the article, and when
it is passed across the counter piece of
money amply large to cover the cost is
thrown down When change is made,
the customer carelessly drops it into his
pocket, apparently without counting it,
and goes out without once mentioning the
cost of the article. He gets just as good
deal as though he had jeWed the dealer
for half an hour.
This custom of throwing down a larger
piece of money than is necessary is not
done. as a rule. to exhibit the cash, for
in this territory everybody has money.
1t is only to show apparent Indifference,
and is a mark of liberality.
It may be said that pennies have no
abiding place in the West especially in
this territory. Even at the postoff1ce,
where everything is supposed to be legal
tender, pennies, 2-cent and 3-cent pieces
are unknown. Change is made to the
cent by postmasters, but they do 1t with
postage stamps or postal cards. No
where else are odd pennies recognized,
