TRADE WITH ARIZONA.

Just now, when merchants of this city are making such strenuous efforts to secure trade with the "sister Repub- lie" and are rejoicing over the fact that Mexican steamers will stop for freight at local ports, 1t might be pertinent to call attention 10 rich field much nearer at hand and pr0mis- ing much more satisfactory results.
 This felt :sthe Territory of Arizona; how it has escaped the attention of local merchants, to the extent 1t has, is m mystery. Here lies vast field of riches at our very doors, whose new capabilities are every day brought to light, and yet great part of whose trade, which should properly come to this city, is going to other points.
 Some of the progressive local dealers have worked up this field with great profit to themselves, but there is still 8 boundless opportunity for Los An geles merchants. Arizona Is rapidly becoming the most productive mineral region in the world. Irrigation sys- tems are being arranged that will re- claim millions of acres of her fertile, but, at present, arid desert lands. The business of furnishing her with ad- equate machinery and supplies should legitimately come to Los Angeles, as the nearest point in distance and time, and the most economical depot for purchase. As matter of fact, a greater part of this trade now goes to Eastern pc ints, and Los Angeles comes in only on a part of the mining ma- chinery and mills, which the neces- sites of the territory demand. Within the past three weeks at least three quartz mills have been purchased here for points in Arizona.
 Another feature that should not be overlooked is that Arizonians are the best kind of customers, for they have ready cash with which to pay for their purchases. Plenty of capital is pour ing into the mines of the Territory from Eastern centerS, and most of them are proving successful.
 Let our contemplating business men get all the Mexican trade possible, but for their own good and for the benefit of this city, let them not neglect the valuable Territory almost at home, while some Eastern dealers get in ahead of them. Great numbers Of Arizona people spend their summers here, and it would be no difficult mat ter to establish such business relations as should exist between points so closely supplementary to each other.- Los Angeles Evening Express.

YUMA Sun: A most remarkable rose bush is growing in the yard of Col. John W. Darlington, on Second Street and Madison Avenue. It is a very large and beautiful specimen of the Martha Washington variety, and for eleven years there has not been a single day that the bush did not contain full blown flowers. If there is place in the United States where this record has been equaled, where the climate and soil will admit of it, we should like to hear of it. The bush in question has never had any protection other than our sunny southern skies, and for over four thousand days has proven that that is protection suf- 6eient.

THE Tombstone ProSpector savs:

THE Tombstone PToSpector says:
 Phoenix is just now in the throes oi a municipal campaign, which has the effect of bringing out the good and bad qualities of the respective aspirants to honOrs. The contest appears to be between J. c. Adams and Tom Smith for the mayorality, and much recrim- ination is indulged in. Tom Smith is shovn up in anything but an enviabie light, among many other exposes of character being his famous confession, under oath, that he, in collusIon with T. J. Wolfiey and L. c. Hughes, con spired to rob the Territory oi Arizona out Of a considerable amount through 8 printing contract. The confession was made and sworn to for the purpose of unSeating Governor Hughes, which had its effect and the governor was removed. Wolhey inveigled Smith into making the confession and was re- warded for his stand with Citizen Member of the Board of Control, Tom being left to held the empty bag. Un- less the people of Phoenix intend to ignore that time-honored custom of "honor among thieves" MT. Tom Smiths indisputable ecredentials should serve to put him long ways ahead oi his opponent.
 Since the above was published the election in Tucson has been held and Tom Smith has been defeated for mayor.
 Now that ex.Governor Hughes knows who the affidavit men were in the conspiracy to unseat him as Governor and which caused his re- moval, he owes it to himself and friends to prosecute them to the utmost limit of the law.

THE Eye, published at Needle, Cal, on the first instant contained the following truthful article on the navigation ofthe Colorado river: It must not be surmiSed for mo- ment the The Eye places the Colo rado river ou the list of unnavigable streams, for it does not. The river is navigable, and is navigated when there is freight to be transported, for nine months out of every twelve from Ynma to El Dorado canyon, and in some instances as far up as the Virgin river; not by gasoline traps, it is true, but by genuine all wool and-a-yard- wide steamboats, such as the Gila and Mojave. Captains Mellon and Polhamus can navigate the river, and do navigate it, because they know just how to do it, and the concentrated opinion and wisdom of the entire northern part of the state cannot give them a single pointer on it's navigation.

REFERRING to the endorsement of Col. M. H. McCord for governor by the Arizona Press Association, our contemporary, with sanctifed, "I am holIer than thou" air, says: 1'This is not the first time that handful of free pass nends have gathered together and disgraced the decent newspaper men of Ari- 1ona by endorsing the most dis reputable men in public life for official position ." AS the Courier was the only daily paper in the Territory which was not represent ed at the meeting, and as a very large majority ofthe weekly papers ofthe Territory were also represent ed at the above meeting, it would seem that the decent newspaper men of Arizona" according to the Couy;er's estimate, consisted of the editor of that paper and four Or five others. Itis probably too bad that some gentleman who is infalhOie :a judgment, who can not err, and whose motives are sanctihedly pure, can not be appointed press censor of the Territory and that all the rest of the craft be made to do obeisanoe to him and walk in the hath he prepares.

ORCHARD PARASITES.
Valuable Discovery to Fruit Growers
Reported from Missouri

Valuable Discovery to Fruit Growers
Reported from Missouri
The Missouri experiment station has
made extensive experiments with differ
emit methods of killing the wool,y aphiss
Or apple root plant louise, regarded as
one of the worst, if not the worst, enemy
to the apple orchards of the southern
half of Missouri.
The following is brief summary of
the discoveries made:
The limb form of tins insect can be
readily killed by one or two thorough
sprayings with strong kerosene emul-
sion. Apple seedlings, buds. and gratis
should be planted in small trench
filed with finely-powdered tobacco or
tobacco dust and lightly covered with
earth. This Will keep the woolly aphis
away. Apple nursery stock should have
liberal supply of tobacco dust applied
to the roots every spring, in order to
kill the wooliy aphis and prevent ii
from establishing itself there, Itshould
be applied by removing some of the
earth from around the roots, filling the
excavation with tobacco dust. and light
ly covering it with earth Newly cleared
timber land should be cultivated in corn
Or other crop for two years before the
apple trees are set out, in order to Kill
the woolly aphis that may be on the
roots of the wild crab and allied trees
Apple. nursery stock should have 'he
roots cleaned and dipped for a minute
in strong kerosene emulsion, in order to
kill the woolIy aphis that may be there.
In planting apple trees tobacco dust
should be freely used among and over
all the roots, and close around the
trunk, in order to kill and prevent the
wcolly aphis from establishing itself
there. Every spring, as soon as settled
warm weather appears, each tree should
have a liberal supply of tobacco dust
applied to its roots by removing the
earth from around the trunk for dis
tance of two feet and four inches in
depth, evenly filling this with the tobac-
| co dust and covering it with earth. The
| root form of the woolly aphis may be
cheaply and easily killed and kept away
from an apple tree by the liberal use of
| tobacco dust About five or six pounds
of this substance should be applied as
above directed to the roots of every in
| tested tree, and one-half this amount
should be applied in similar manner
each succeeding spring, costing approx
| imately two cents per tree per year

some Hint. About Pruning.

Intelligent horticulturists have al
most given up trying to educate the
public to put away the Ratchet, saw.
shears and to a great extent the prun-
ing knife, and to do all with the finger
and thumb in May and June. In the old
world this knowledge is more diffused.
Writing of orange culture in Italy, one
of our consuls says that there the OBJ
ject aimed at in pruning is to bring the
greatest surface of the tree possible to
the direct action of air and light. The
spherical form is considered best To
keep this form, shoots are pinched off
in June each year. In the early spring
weak and dead wood, and forgotten use
less shoots, are cut out to let the light
and air in among the branches; a sharp
knife must be used.-WesterH Piowman

Exports of American Cheese.

The cheese business in the United
States has not had the attention
and encouragement which it should
have, while our Canadian neigh
bors have given this branch of the
dairy interest a great deal more at
tention. During the last fiscal year
there was exported from Canada sI4,-
253, o02 worth of cheese In the same
period there was exported from the
United States S., 497, $50 worth. 1t was
not because we have had a market at
home for our cheese. but because Cana
dan cheese is better than the American.

abundance of manure that is used the
greater will be the crop. Until the Pal

so; but Palmetto is not only much
earlier, but is also a better yielder and
is more even and regular in its growth,

favorite. Average punches, containing
