There seems to be disposition on
 the part of some members of the
 city council to cut the trees down on the streets of West Prescott. \
 strong protest from citizens has
 been filed against such acton.
 "Woodman spare that tree" is very
 applicable in this case. Every tree
 in town should be protected. The
 traffic IS not SO great on the streets
 as to cause any very serious incon- venience to drive around a tree, even If 1t is in the middle of the street. They are not only ornamental, but afford comfortable shade. By all
 means spare the noble trees of the
 forest, and rather than cut them
 down, plant others.
 The wedding which united for
 life Hon. Will c. Barnes and Miss
 Edith Talbot last evening, was one
 of the prettiest and most enjoyable events of the kind in the history of the city. The sumptuous flower decorations at the church and at the residence of MT. and Mrs. Walter Talbot, parents of the bride, was a most notable feature, and rarely ex- celled, either in artistic effect or wealth of the most beautiful flowers of all varieties. Mir. and Mrs. Barnes are deservedly popular and nothing was too good that their hundreds of friends could do to enhance the pleasures of the occasion.-Phenix Herald.
 "Why did we import 100000 doz- an eggs into the United States last yeaTi' asked Secretary Wilson of the agricultural department.

A few came from Japan; but S00,OO0 came from Canada. There IS nothing the matter with the American hen," says the secretary, "but the American farmer needs to be taught the usefulness of raising things which We are obliged to pur. chase abroad. We purchase $iOO.- 0O0,0O0 worth of sugar every year and yet we can produce every pound of sugar we need" The secretary has distributed about five tons of sugar beet seed throughout the country and hopes m this way to demonstrate the feasibility of profit able sugar beet culture.

When I read his (Gambetta's) fiery patriotic phrases, and when you tell us that ho was avant tout un patri- otc, think of Dr. Johnson's brusque saying, Patriotism Is the last ref.
 lgo of Q scoundrel. 1t is hard to practice the plain virtues, but not hard to se grisor dc mots about la patrie. What France wants Is men with a passion for the plain virtues and capable of inspiring this passion in others. His intellectual qualities, his perception of the law of evolu- tion in politics and his suppbsness and adroitness in shaping his course accordingly are far more remarka. ble. They seem to me Italian rather that French. but whenceso- ever they proceed they arc not al. though valuable. what France most needs and cannot supply the place of this.-MAtthew Arnold.

Belgium has adopted the twenty four hour system for marking time.
 For weeks past m the railway sta tions, post offices and government buildings throughout the country, men have been at work repainting the faces of the clocks, and the dials now bear within the old circles of Roman figures another formed of Arabic numerals from l3 to 2I. This will assist novices in translating the afternoon and evening hours into the terms of the new system. The new system is said 10 be unpopular. 4 fact which may not be generally known, is that the Intercolonial railroad. running through New Brunswick and Nova Scotia from Quebec to Halifax, use the twenty four hour time schedule. Trains are scheduled to arrive at a certain town on the line as late in the day as 24:53.

The vein varies ID width from one to two feet, averaging about eighteen inches. He has fifty tons of ore uow on the dump which will average $50 per ton, and which he is arranging to have worked.
 D. B. Gillette has closed the deal for the Gold Note and Surprise mines, near Bumblebee, and will leave shortly for Pines Alto, New Mexico, to look after the big prop erties recently purchased by him there He will inaugurate mining on Q very extensive scale on these properties, as he proposes to sink five double compartment shafts to a depth of 1000 feet each, or an az gregste of nearly q mile. He also intends to put up a mill capable of treating 100 tons of ore per day, to which will be attached concen- trating plant of like capacity. He has fifty men at work now, and the force will be increased just as rapid ly as he rsn make room for them. While the management of the above property will take considerable of his time, Mir.

 The above voices the sentiment which as been time and again repeated in these columns without apparent avail. Since the last ex- eeution for murder committed m this county no less than forty or fifty cold blooded murders have been committed and with few ex- captions every last one of the mur- derers is enjoying his liberty today. Tecknicalities of courts, false senti- ment among jurors, and abuse of the pardoning power, have been the agencies employed to defeat justice.
 Not satisfied with ali of these agencies to sid red handed murder CTS to escape the penalty of their crimes, a democratic legislature enacted law last winter whereby such criminals, it IS said, will escape by the wholesale, from answering to offended justice for the heipousn ss of their deeds.

He attacked the re- publican protective policy in gen sral and the Dingley bill in particu- lar.

One OF the best in formed men here en-
the resources of the county is Editor w.
L. Hill of the Index, who has made spe-
cial study of the county's resources for
many years. He furnishes the following
interesting facts about the soil and re-
sources on which people base their hopes
for the future, and from which they now
earn their living:
''The Salinas Valley, embraced by the
Gabiian Mountains on the northwest and
the Santa Lucia range on the southwest,
opens out on Monterey Bay and extends
southwark 100 miles. with an average
width of ten miles. Its area. therefore, is
about 1000 square miles, or GAO 600 acres of
! land-almost an empire in itself. The
Salinas River flows through the valley.
The San Antonio hills stretch diagonaIly
across the valley about seventy-fve
miles from the mouth of the river and die

gion above being sort of table-iand of
low, rolling hills, while below there. is a
valley gradually opening out until at Sa-
linas City it is twelve or fifteen miles
wide ana as fine section for farming as
any in the Stale. The lands of this valley
may be divided into three classes.
"First-The heavy, rich bottom lands
which will grow almost anything. The
soil is mostly black adobe, and frequently
easily. These lands sometimes produce
over 100 bushels OF barley to the acre, and
of wheat over sixty-five bushels. Average
crop of wheat, thirty-tive bushels; barley,
sixty bushels.
"Second-The table-lands, which are
particularly well adapted to growing
wheat, barley and other cereals, the aver
age yield of wheat being about thirty
bushels, and OF barley about fifty bushels
per acre.
.Third-The uplands. good for the pro-
duction of wheat. barley, oats and rye,
and here also are located some of the finest
dairles in the State. Some of the land is
the best fruit land in California and will
produce oranges. lemons. grapes. peaches.
apricots, almonds, figs, apples. pfums
berries and other fruits common to this
section"
Besides wheat. barley and other cereals
potatoes are extensively cultivated in the
Salinas Valley. and in many localities
they yield Immensely and are very profit
able. The best land for potatoes is the
light. sandy or sediment soil near the
coastor along the rivers. This soil pro-
duces from 100 to 200 sacks an acre, weigh
ing from I25 to 130 pounds sack. Beans
are extensively cultivated, and alfalfa
