The appointment of Ii Hung
Chang as Minister of Foreign Af-
fairs in Peking is regarded in the
English Foreign Office as a dis
agreeable surprise, to say nothing
of it's being personal modification
to Lord Salisbury, for it is another
Specification that Russian influence
in China is still predominant. At
this moment the journals of France
are saying that it serves England
right for not joining herself to
France and Russia in triple
league, while they congratulate the
republic that French engineers and
and material will be used in the
construction of the Imperial arsenal

Representative Allen of Utah,
has secured the passage through
the house of representatives OF his
bill to amend the revised Statutes
as to procedure in acquiring min :
eral land titles The first object
of the bill is to allow affidavits re :
quired under the land laws Of the
United States to be sworn to be-
fore an officer of the government
having legal seal, thus saving loss
and expense caused by requiring
persons to 60 before the register
and receiver of the, land Office for
such a purpose. The second Object
Of the bill is to establish rules of
procedure In contest cases between
claimants Of mineral and agricul-
tural lands. 1t provides that in
case of contests as to the mineral
or agricultural character of the
land, testimony ard proof may be
taken under such notice and regu-
lations as the commissioner of the
general land Office may prescribe,
concluding, '.that wherever the
land is proven to be within a we'll
defined mineral belt, it shall be
deemed prin,a facia evidence Of
the mineral characrer Of the land.

PROFIT IN POULTRY RAIS-
ING.

Let any one that has any doubt
Of there being profit in the poul-
try business buy two or three doz-
en- frst-class pullets, and cockerels
of equal merits, of any of the lead
ing breeds and give them the care
that is necessary to make any prot :
it in any other farm industry, and
they will be wonderfully surprised,
and regret that they did not test
the poultry industry years ago,
said T. H. Smith in an address
before the Kansas farmers institute.
They will find that there is nothing
that will yield as great a profit for
the capital invested. The risk is
so small in comparison to that OF
cattle or hogs, for if bird should
die it does not mean $50 or $40
and it costs so little to raise and
keep one or two hundred fowls on
the farm, to say nothing of what
they will save in grain and other
forage that would be lost without
them. Like other things the more
care and discre ton we use In buy
ing breeding and caring for them
the greater the returns but like
any other industry it will have its
ups and downs, and we will have
to fight our way to knowledge and
success. Is it not the same in ev-
appertaining to the farm ?
The poultry industry, like many
others that are negle ,ted, is nee
essary to make both ends meet in
these hard times, and IS it not a
pleasure to learn that we can add
to our income within ourselves?

The Graham County Bulletin
says: "It is opposed to the removal
of the Territorial prison from
Yuma st this time, for the good
reason that the expense will be too
great to be saddled on the people
of Arizona who are now overbur-
dened with taxes. We hope the
legislature will lay the bill away
for the present. With the coming
of statehood and prosperity the
proposition might be worthy of
consideration. but now it cannot
be afforded"

PRISON REMOVAL.

In addition to the report of the
Superintendent Of The prison, which
Will appear in our next issue, and
which is an exhaustive one, the
Sentinel, without any local feeling,
desires to call attention to these
pertinent facts:
Upon the gu aston of clothing,
in the climate of Yuma, there is no
need to use other than Gotten goods
OF course, striped prison goods cost
a Iittlam.,r. than plain goods, and
there are only two firms in the
United States that sell these. stri-
ped goods, having q monopoly
thereof. The striped goods for the
prison at Yuma cost IA cents per.
yard.
In the climate of Prescott wool
en- goods being necessary it would
cost to furnish these suits fully 70
per cent more per yard. Further,
in Yuma, there is never a nAcessi :.
ty for any heating apparatus. In
Prescott there would be an abso
'ute necessity for such heating ap-
paratus outside the bounds of cru
city. In Yuma, wood is costing
nothing, the same being cut on the
prison farm. In Prescott it would
cost, at least, eight dollars per
cord. Sentinel.
