session of congress to open those lands to settlement.
 The territory to be segregated will comprise all of that portion of the res ervation lying south of a line begin ming alt a point in Goodwin canyon and running to the summit of Mount Trum- bull, thence to point seven miles di- reetly south of the San Carlos agency and continuing on to the San Pedro river. The line will follow the course of the Gila river at a distance of seven miles south therefrom
 We are reliably informed that the value of the coal lands has been clearly established and that the territory to be segregated includes, besides rich and extensive deposits of copper, some gold and silver. It is confidently believed that the bill for the segregation of this tract will pass at this session of con- gress and that the executive order de- claring it open to settlement will be issued before the close of the coming summer.
 The importance of this measure can not be exaggerated. The opening ot this portion of the White Mountain reservation will rebound more than any project that could be suggested tc the development and prosperity oi southeastern Arizona

Congress wastes millions of dollars every year on useless warships, on i'm provements of insignificant streams and now proposes to squander millions more on coast defenses and yet it cuts a pitiful item of $15,OO0 for irrigation inquiry down to $6,0OO. But then ir- rigaition information benefits directly only the west and the government is considered by those now in control as being carried on exclusively for the benefit of the east.

ALFALFA CULTURE.
How It Should Be Extended Through
 out New Mexico.

Albuquerque Democrat: A remark
 able contrast is presented by the Salt River valley about Phoenix when com pared with the Rio Grande valley
 north and south of Albuquerque. All
 winter long we have read in the Phoe- nix newspapers paragraphs relating to the shipments of alfalfa fed cattle to California, while in the Rio Grande
 valley practically no cattle are being fed for the block and barely enough hay is produced for local consumption. It is doubtless true that the extent of irrigable territory in the vicinity of Phoenix is much greater than about Albuquerque, but the fact remains that in this valley the cultivation of alfalfa is not carried on to the degree that conditions warrant Much of the winter beef that is consumed in this city is brought in from Kansas City, and nearly all the cattle slaughtered by our butchers are shipped in from outside feeding points. Our Rio Grande farmers do not seem to appre- ciate the opportunities that are pre- sented ito them At Phoenix hundreds of acres of alfalfa fields are pastured green or cut for hay for cattle feeding.

 Florence Tribune: Tuesday even ing a party consisting of Dr. George w. Ktherton, of the Pennsylvania uni versity; J. B.. Rainier, of Salt Lake; Charles Edward Major, of Phoenix, and Theodore L. Shultz, of Tempe, ar rived in Florence, and this week has been busily engaged inspecting the reservoir site at the Buttes and the Florence canal from one end to the other with a view, it is said, Of pur- chasing the latter.
 It is stated they represent unlimited Mormon and eastern capital and if the purchase is made it is proposed to en- large the canal, build additional stor- age reservoirs and put the plant in first-class condition, SO as to make it capable of furnishing water for at least 100000 acres of land
 The gentlemen above named seem to be we'll pleased with the proposition and that their report will be favorable there is small doubt in which event there will be a boom in this valley such as it has never known. Vel come the day.

Mrs. Johns is a good speaker and broad minded woman and to hear her speak will undoubtedly be very edfying.

 It is expected that Governor Hughes will visit Graham county in company with Mrs. Hughes and Mrs. Johns.

Here is an item from the Tucson Star that even The Republican can endorse: "The man who succeeds best in political life is he who not only does his duty best, but sticks to his friends and shows appreciation and gratitude for services performed. No man long sustains himself in public life who goes back on his friends, and when he once gets out of office he sel- dom gets back again. Now mark this prediction"

INTO TONTO BASIN.
A Practicable Wagon Road Route
 Through the SuperStitions.

Mesa Free Press: Will A. Kimball and MT. Frazier are home from a trip through the mountains to the site of the Hudson reservoir. They were looking for a route over which to con- struct wagon road for freighting supplies and material into Tonto Basin. They found an easy practica- bie route through the mountains by way of Frazier's ranch. They say this is the shortest route to the great res ervoir site and the road would be less expensive to construct.
 A wagon road will have to be con- structed over which to transport the material, but over the line above re- ferred to it can be quickly and cheaply done,

NONE BUT AYERS AT THE
 WORLDS FAIR.

Ayers Sarsaparilla enjoys the ex- traordinary distinction of having been the only blood purifier allowed an ex- hibit at the Worlds Fair, Chicago. Manufacturers of other sarsaparillas sought by every means to obtain a showing of their goods, but they were all turned away under the application of the rule forbidding the entry of patent medicines and nostrums. The decision of the Worlds Fair authori- ties in favor of Ayers Sarsaparilla was in effect as follows: Ayers Sarsapa- rilla is not patent medicine. It does not belong to the list of nostrums. It is here on it's merits"

PaGNIx. MARCH 10. 1896,
WHO HAS BEEN BENEFITED?

Chairman Harrity says the benefits of the Democratic management of af- fairs will make themselves apparent to thinking men before the November e, ,tion comes around.
 An anxious public would like to know where those benefits are hiding themselves now. If anybody what ever has been benefited it is not the people who do the voting, nor is it those who pay the expenses of running the, machinery Some hundred mil lions or so of American money has gone to the man nIfacturers of Great Britain, over and above the amount heretofore sent there for their wares, and the same amount has been taken from American manufacturers at the expense of American labor. By the idleness of American industries the price of products of the soil has been depressed until foreign consumers have been enabled to provide them selves with cheap foodstuffs, enabling them to the better subsist on the paup- CT wages paid for supplying the Ameri- can market with the wares they manu- fracture.
 The bonded debt of the Nation has been increased by the addition of S262,- 100000, which will ultimately cost the people S537, 100000 interest and all, be- fore it is fully, paid-and those who will get the benefit of it are still reach ing for more. A44P at
 Four years of office holding goes to the Democratic party in the way of spells, but all chance of further bene- fits in that direction for a generation to come has been cut off.
 The party that is responsible for all this has been, all along telling the peo- pie that the end of the adverse show ing was insight, but the promises have been fully as delusive as the hopes of those who put 1t in power. Mir. liar rity is fully as far off in his calcula- tions as were those who have been en- gagged in the business of manufactur- ing such illusions all through the past three years.
 There is nothing in it and the peo- pie know it. They have been fooled too many times to be caught now by any repetitions of the story with nc variations whatever Nobody entitled to the consideration of the voter has participated in the benefits that have grown out of. or which can ever come from the disastrous administration oi Democracy.

w. w. DIMOND,

BY the Transit which ar
rived on the 4th inst, we
received 100 Jewel stoves
and ranges Zone large car
load direct from the factory
at Detroit.
This is our third shipment,
and we find that we have
only 4 stoves left from our
previous lot.
The excellence of these
stoves has already been
proved by the large sale, but
we will name three points:
First. Long life from the
heavy high grade of iron
which is the same in the SI2
stove as in the $50 range.
Second. Economy in the
use of fuel.
Third Quick and even
bakers.
We propose leasing these
stoves on the following
terms:
When the stove is deliver
ed one-third of the price is
paid in cash, and the balance
monthly thereafter in five
equal payments.
If before the expiration of
the five months, the lessee
wishes to pay off the balance,
he will be entitled to a dis
count of five per cent. on the
amount unpaid.
If a customer wants to buy
outright, he gets five per
cent. discount on the whole
amount.
Jewel stoves and ranges
can be had only of US.

He Heard il First in HOnOluiu-W hole Thing is

Of Faith.

The Honolulu correspondence Of the
san Francisco Chronicle under date Of
August 20 contains the following:
United States Minister Willis has
resumed the duties of his office. A we'll
defined rumOr has it that his recent visit
10 the United States was for the pur-
pose of comforting with Preside.l
Cleveland on an annexation policy As
a result of the conference it is said
that Willis was empowered 10 enter
into negotiations for either annexation
or a monarchical form of government,
with Kaiulani on the throne, or an Am
erican protectOrate-t the choice of eth
er form of government to be left to a
vote of the people.
Nothing definite will be known re-
garding Cleveland's intentions until the
return of President Dole, who is on the
Island of Maui at present.
AS these rumOrs have been circulated
very freely about town of late, an Ad-
vertiser representative called on Min
lister Willis last evening to inquire
whether or no there was any fOunda-
ton for the story.
Minister Willis gave very prompt
denial, and stated that there was absO-
lutely no truth in the statements made.
Since his return, he said, he had heard
the rumors, and that was the first he
had ever heard of it. There was moth
ing in his instructions or in his talk
with the officials here or in Washington
that touched upon the matter or con-
templated any such action. In closing
his remarks Minister Willis said:
The story is not true, and have no
idea how it started"

NOVELIST'S WIDOW WON.
Mrs. Robert Louis Stevenson Acts
as Her Own Lawyer.

as Her Own Lawyer.
Mrs. Robert Louis Stevenson, widow
of the dead novelist, who sought health
and recreation here some time ago, has
made a record for herself as an attorney
since returning to her home at Apia,
Samoa, says the San Francisco Exam
iner When Mrs. Stevenson left the
island she confided the care of her beau
tiful home at Vailima to one R. T.
Chatfield, the editor of a paper at Apia.
He was to look after the house and
grounds under an arrangement made
with Lloyd Osborne, a son of the
widow She intended to remain away
for a period of four months, but eX-
tended this time to thirteen months.
On her return to Vailima Editor Chat
field presented the lady with a bill of
$500 as caretaker of the property. This
sum she considered excessive and re-
fused to pay. Chatfield brought an act
ion and the case was heard before that
august parsonage, the High Commits
SiOner of Samoa.
Mrs. Stevenson conducted her own
case. She cross examined all the wit
nesses and kept Editor Chatfield with
ing on the anxious seat for three quar-
tiers of an hour. The case ended by the
High Commissioner cutting the claim
of the editor in half, which amount the
defendant paid
