4What is money?P asks g. political
organ The answer is easy. Money is
the god of all civilized nations, says an
exchange. It is a creation of man, des-
tined to prove his everlasting ruin. For
money, man deserts the God of the uni
verse, forsakes his wife and children,
robs his friends and murders his fell
bowman in cold blood. Money wrecks
the brain and makes man a madman;
money controls the destinies of ma
tions; money, destroys good govern
ment; money wrecks society and is in
deed the root of all evil And man,
poor imbecile, gives up the pleasures
of this life to get it, and loses the joys
Of future life by possessing it, and
when he dies he leaves it as legacy to
his loved ones who fight over it's divi-
sion,

The lower house of congress short
time since, after two hours debate.
passed a bill Of considerable impor-
tance to the arid regions of the west,
says the Southwestern Stockman and
Farmer. 1t opens to use and occupa-
ton under the right of way act of
March 8, 1891, all the reservoir sites re-
served by the geological survey. There
are I3S of these sites scattered through
out the arid country, and this act will
enable them to be put to practical use
by individuals or corporations. Two
amendments were attached to the bill,
one of which permits states or terrific
ries to occupy these sites if they choose,
and the other empowers the states and
territories in which they are located to
fix water rates.

The Southwestern Stockman and
Farmer says-~Ali county recorders will
be furnished in few days, with blanks
to be used in the transfer of the cattle
brands now part of their records, to
the territorial brand book. These
transfers will only be made by the per-
sonal application of the owner of the
brands, or his accredited ageIt, who
will certify to the. correctness of the
brand. That the new record will be
absolutely correct, it is urged that the
greatest care be given the making of
the certificate. in order that the brands
and marks be rightly outlined, and the
position of. the brand correctly given.

Arizona stands today just where Cal
ifornia did just before the great boom
which made the Golden State the most
conspicuous point in the union, says
the Tucson Citizen. Arizona is better
prepared to receive a great influx OF
population than California was. She
has all her advantages and more. There
is more land available, better climate
and more water for irrigation purposes
four to one If Arizona will get the
proper move on herself there is no rea-
son in the world why she may not come
to the front and boast of orange groves
ssssas; feet cries YES, sd -eEersS4hing else
which has served to make California
rich and powerful. Now is the time.

A practical woman remarked the other
day that she read the advertisements
in newspaper more closely than any
thing else. "And long ago" she said,
81 Quit buying of those who do not ad-
vertise. It always seams to me that
the merchant who adVertises invites
me to trade with him, while the one
who does not advertise impresses me
with the idea that he doesn't care en-
ough for my trade to ask for it. Then,
too, have found that the merchant
who advertises has fresher goods for
the reason that he sells more"

Better Prices for Cattle.

". A. Braiden, of La Junta, Colorado,
in an interview with a reporter the fore
part of the week said:
The cattle business is better than it
has been for many years, and prices are
advancing all the time. The best part
of it is that there is every prospect for
one Of the greatest booms in the stock
market that las ever been known. The
low prices that prevailed for SO many
years past, and up to within the last
six months, drove many large dealers
out of the business, and tended to kill
off majority of the cattle in the coun-
try. People who were contemplating
going into the business were kept out
by the depression, while many OF those
already IN it, who did not drop it en-
tirely, took no pains to raise any more
than they already had. The inevitable
result has been to reduce very mate
rally the cattle of the country, ana
consequently to raise the prices. An
other active agency in forming the
present good demand is the low price
of corn in Kansas and Nebraska.
Last summer the crops all over those
states and others panned out heauti-
fully, and every farmer had a super
fluffy of grain. The prices for this
stuff being too low to allow of any pro-
fit to the farmers, these people have
clubbed togetherin in great many cases,
and have purchased western cattle,
which they are now feeding, and which
they will unload in the spring at good
prices, thus making something out Of
their otherwise useless crops.
The sheep business is equally as good
as the cattle business, and, like the cat
tie business, is increasing all the time.
In my opinion there is not business
that will pay better in the next five
years than the industry of raising and
dealing in stock.

julius Erickson, noted st. Louis
astrologist who claims to have cast
Cleveland's horoscope four years ago
correctly, will cast McKinley's on the
4th. In case the President lays his
hand on the Bible to take the oath Of
Office before 12:45 p. m., the astrologer
says his policy will be against trusts,
com bines, corporations and monopo-
lies of whatever kind or nature. How
this noted reader OF the future can ar
rive at any such conclusion is beyond
our ken. He has certainly lost sight
of the fact that the President owes his
election to the money and influence of
the very men whom this sage says be
will turn around and knock out of ex-
istence. He also predicts that McKin-
ley will inaugurate an aggressive for
eign policy and that there will be war
before his term of Office expires. John
Sherman, his Secretary of State, stated
short time since, however, that he
would use his utmost endavor to avoid
war. Time viii tell which of the two
we're correct-the astrologer or the Sec
retary of State.
