The Arid Zone,

Visitors to the Columbia Expositio D
 will remember the striking exhibit
 made by the Territory of Arizona.
 There was display of gold, silver. cop per, platinum, onyx, merble snd pre-
 cious stones that fairly outshone all other western productions. Not only 1 these, but the. prod uots of the land of 1 death and desoiation to emigrans and | traveller, where the fercass and mos t l home, is being reclaimed for the uses of civilized man. IL IS under the inteili- gent mastery of modern sciepce, smiling with harvests aod blooming with fruit and flowers. Tbe secret of all this is irrie ation. 4 land of unexampIed fer tiiity, tt needed only the touohatoue of water to mslSe 1t one of the most favor ed regions of the earth, land overflow ing with milk and honey.

FIGHTING PESTS BY STEAM.
How They Carry on the War Against In-
 sects in Australia.

How They Carry on the War Against In-
 sects in Australia.
 The somewhat novel system of em- ploying steam with sulphur vapors and other chemicals for the purpose of de- stroying various kinds of insect pests is turning out quite success, says the Australasian. By tbe pressure of steam the disinfecfing vapors are forced to the very bottom of every hole and crack in the tree, and without any doubt reach the seat of the disease, thereby thoroughly destroying all in- sect life, together with any larvae and eggs which may be at the bottom of the hole. Any loose bar< is also pene- trated, and if the codlin moth grub is there its fate is sealed. It is claimed that mealy bug, red spider and a host of other pests can be eradicated by the same method. The patentee, s. Lowe, has just finished steaming and fumi- gating a number of orange and lemon trees in the northeastern district, the results being highly satisfactory. The government entomologist, in his valu- able book on ''Destructive Insects g refers to the great superiorityef st~aqw power machines fc- ,ne purpose of ds1 stroying insects over those worked by hand.

 and it is expected thss United States
 District Attorney Black will at ono 1 take up toe matter of the violation of the Interstate Commerce law by num- erous railroad off oials and shippers.
 About three weeks ago su bpoenes were issued for between seventy and eighty
 officials of eastern and western roads,
 packers Of meat, shippers of dressed
 beef, manufacturers and wholesale mer- chants, and she upper floors of the
 Man sduook building, where the United States Courts now meet, were thronged this morning with people who had been summoned.

Under the recent Brown decision of the Supreme Court, shippers having in their possession re- duoed rates of shipment are placed be- twsen the devil and the deep sea. They must either surrender whatever iufor- nation they have to the grand jury or stand committed for cont tempt, or per jure themselves and take She chances of going to jail.

 of brain work, and which is supposed
 to indicate the gain or loss of property
 In the vsrlous states and territories, ,sDd
 finally boils the whole discussion down 1 to five lines after he announces that less than half tue assessed property vslua- tiou in the Territory is owned by resi- dents, es follows: "Yetit is the owners
 of this half thst makes the whole valu-
 able, from whose Is bor comes the money
 to pay it's taxes and to settle it's existing
 and increasing debtedness," snd those
 five lines a rank miestste ment of the
 facts as any thinking msn must at. once
 pronounce it, who knows anything of onr assessed property ard where the
 taxes of the Territory come from. Of o an rec -aeid,rt t,v,orare c,y {bo;- vro portion of tue taxes but not Fl! of them; the raiiroade, which he irtimates are worth nothing to the Territory and pay no taxes, pay as much tax or the dollar of valuation es any other property in the Territory. and if they were "with drawn" from the Territory Mir. Repo l would have to "walk cut" in more l senses than one. Then he says, e'tske 1 from it, too, the valuation of such mines se Jerome, as BIsbee, ss Globe, ss Off ton, owned by non resideuts;7 snd yet nan that the taxes those mines pay go far toward maintaining the ex. ,enses of these counties wherein they re located; be further knows, if he ,nows anything, that to take out tue taxes paid by the Southern Pa iio, to some of the counties through which it runs, would be to bankrupt hose counties and the sgme may be aid of the Atlantic S Pacific Take ut these railroads and those mines and he people of the whole Territory would 8 we'll nigh bankrupt. for they are ringing into the Territory and distrib- ting among our people every month, lillions of dollars, and yet MF.
