relations of silver and wheat. They now say that the rise in wheat is due to the shortage in supply, and, in doing this, of course must admit that a large supply would produce I fall in price. Everybody knows that there has been an enormous increase in the supply in the past few years and a great decrease in in cost of production and transpor- tatiOn. The fact is that silver has
 nothing to do with it. It is supply and de mand, coupled with cost of
 production and transportation.

pany at seventy cents per diem.
 This will prove of much value to the Territory, for it means profit over and above the cost of main
 taing the prison and the institution will be more than self-sustaining
 The reclaimation to cultivation of 2.200 acres of land comprised in the prison farm with water rights attached (which will be earned by prison sbor) at once increases the value of the farm from compara- lively nothing to more than $2OO,- GOO. very handsome asset for the Territory The profit of which from its cultivation alone will be greater than the cost of maintain ing the Territoria. prison. In fact conservative estimates have placed the profits of thls farm, under con- viet labor, sufficient to maintain the prison, the insane asylum and the normal school. This is not all, as the completion of this great canal means the reclaimation of nearly, if not altogether of one hundred thousand acres of rich alluvial lands fed by the fat, vitalizing waters of the Colorado river, at once increasing the assess ment roll of Yuma county and the Territory at least $5,OO0.OOO swell ing the farm value of the Terri toriol assessment roll, and the im- provements which will follow and the vast agricultural output will be as much more. Here are some of the results which will come from the construction of the Yuma canal with convict labor. The great work, if not impeded, will be com pleted within the next four years and the present administration will be entitled to and receive the credit, while those who impeded the consummation of the prison contract will hide their heads in shame. This will he the largest canal on the coast when completed. It will result in more benefit to Arizona at all times than any one thing which can at present be con. ceived, and to Senator Ives and Governor McCord will be due the credit. Let the good work proceed that the people may behold Ari. zona's grandest achievement.-Star'

Ills Prayer Answered.

The other day, for some infraction of the rules of the household, little fellow of this town was about to get a whipping. Just ss the father WAS ready to commence operations, the child asked if he could go into the bedroom 8 moment. His father told him that he could. Tiptoeing to the door, the man, with a switch in h!s hand, saw the little fellow kneeling at the bedside and heard him say: "Oh God, if you ever did want to help a little boy, now is your time!" That appeal sufficed. The prayer was an- swered and the whipping postponed.

GRANDEST ACHIEVE
 MENT.

The grand irrigation canal to be constructed by the State of Arizona Improvement Company, and in the construction of which Territorial prison eonvicts will be employed, marks 6 new era for Arizona. Senator Ives, the promoter of this mammoth enterprise, has purchased the machinery and utensils which when placed on the ground will have cost about $75,000. This will satisfy the board of control of the geod faith of the company, and it is understood that the eonvicts will be at once turned over to the com

IMPENDING HORRORS.

Weeks ago, when the mad rush to the Yukon gold fields began, strong warning of the dangers of such enterprise was given in almost every paper in the United States, except the sensational dailies of San Francisco. It was pointed out that the stories of returning miners who had "struch it rich" were evidently much exaggerated; that these fortu- nate ones were a mere fraction of the host that had gone to the Yu- kon the others probably having failed or perished; that placer mines were of all least trustworthy for extended yield and lasting value; that the climate of that region was as rigorous as that of Spitzbergen, and the journey thither comparable with q polar quest; and that an indiscriminate rush thither of in experienced and ill-prepared men would be ominous of greater loss of human life than gain of gold. The warning was given, in the face of the sensational heyday which ac- claimed the finding of new El- dorado and new Earthly Paradise amid the rocks and glaciers of the Arctic wilderness. It was, we be- lieve, needed by many, to the sav- ing of their money, health and lives. To what extent it was un- needed by those made blind and deaf and reasonless by the "auri sacra fames," the ominous tidings of the day reveal.
 Stories of ''great strikes" have now ceased. Instead, we hear of hundreds of fortune-seekers strand ed on mid-trail, unable to go tor- ward CT to get back. At the Yukon itself there are thousands of idle men who have failed to get claims on which to dig for gold, or employ ment from those who are more fortunate. Already supplies of food are running low. The reck- less visionaries who & little while ago were talking of railroads and trolley lines to the Klondyke now find the trail scarcely traversable by dog teams and Indian guides. And winter has not yet set in. In few weeks the passes will be filled with snow, and to get within five hundred miles of the Klondyke will be as difficult as to cross mid Greenland or to explore Franz Josef Land. And there are thou sands of men up there, without houses, without fit clothes, and with food not sufficient for half their number. That, plain and unvarnished, is the actual state et affairs to-day.
 No wonder, then. that the very voices which recently were crying "Ho, for the Klondyke~ are now uttering warnings, when it is too late. and are actually beginning to invoke relief from the results of their own mad vaporings. Relief is already needed. It will soon be needed on an enormous scale. And no relief that can be given will be adequate to the awful need
 Seldom have the materials for wholesale tragedy been more surely gathered and disposed to deadlier advantage than this year on the upper Yukon. All that can be done ir rescue and relief should, of course, be done, just as we should save from drowning the idiot who rocks boat "for fun." But after all is done the name of Klondyke
 will probably become as synony-
 nous with famine, suffering and death as the most sanguine pros
 pectors ever hoped it would be with
 golden fortune.

 WITH Mexican dollars worth only 40 cents, the laboring people of that country, whose wages are nominally one-half the wages in the United States, are in hard lines. The recent fall in silver and de- preciation of the Mexican dollar has caused great suffering to the class of people who were but poorly paid when the dollar was much more valuable thar 1t is at present This depreciation causes a rise in the prices of ali commodities that the laborer there must buy, but the laborer's wages themselves are She last things so affected.

BOY AND BEAST.
:" Trilby" Fowler Has an Adv EN-.
ture With a Kangaroo.

Domiciled in the back yard Of Clar-
ance Crabbe's residence is a kangaroo,
and thereby hangs a tale Likewise
there has been taken into the family
one "Trilby" Fowler, an urchin who
has tempted fate in many ways and
whose smile would make a sliced wa
termelon give UP the ghost. Dame
Rumor hath it that these two have had
a difficulty. You have it here for
what it is worth One day while wan
dering aimlessly around Tril CHANGED
to get within the domain of his lord
ship the kangaroo. What a strange
looking Bird unused Trilby. What
the bird thought is not noted. The
boy with his head wreathed in smiles
advanced toward the kangaroo and
patting him quietly on the head said,
mice doggie.'' The beast seemed to
like it and stood UP and surveyed the
boy with an inquiring stare Then he
kangaroo patted "Trilby," but it was
not on the head. In fact the articles
of male wearing aparrel termed by
Miss Phosa McAllister denominations
came in for the major part of the pat
ting. When they gathered the boy up
on the other side of the street he was
bleeding and breatbless. He claims
now that to make connections with
the business end of a mule is much
more preferable than mixing up with
strange and uncanny beasts that roam
around Honolulu.
