FARMERS AND DAIRYN1EN.

The farmers of the valley are in
council today and We're yesterday. The
wonder in this connection is that every
farmer in the valley is not present.
The range of subjects cover much con-
nected with the business and the mat
ter of dairying and caring for dairying
stock which was up today was of gen
eral interest bo.h to the stockman. the
Gairyman and the consumer of dairy
products. In this connection the most
aStonfelhing thing that happened was
the very positive scientific argument
of a gentleman present that diseased
COW could give pure milk. The sub
ject was Pure Water for Cows" The
gentleman started out with the ac-
knJwledgenn, Mt that impure waiter dis
eased the COW, but wound UP with the
argument that the COW gave. pure milk
nevertheless. Why, chen, do we have
a sanitary commission that Immediate
ly slaughters all tubercu.osed COWS?
II the milk of COW does not contain
something of the clements OF that upon
which she feeds and drinks. how is it
that the milk coming from new alfalfa
in the spring sickens the person thar
uses 1T to even a limited extent? II
struck a casual observer and con-
sumer Of dairy products that the
science" of tire argument was TOO
deep for him and that he would like
to know the name OF the dairy run on
the principle that diseased COW gives
pure milk.

WANT TO KNOW.

The following is a sample of the Jet

AID has done its share in maxim

without COMPLAINT and we begin tC

general public and Will no doubt con
tinue the good work, but the time has
come when the picayunis. b. not to say
mean, attitude of those who are vastl!
more interested pecuniarily in the vel
fare of the community than the EER
AID, should cease and a chamber OF
commerce, board of trade, or some
body of aggregated business men and
capital set about this important work
in a generous, systematic way, as i,
deserves. The capital that is now
simply squeezing the last penny out
of the people cold-blooded, ceaselessly
and mercilessly, while the dear pub
lie is expected ito do the work, adver-
tise the country, bring in the settlers
and money to be cornered. and all
that, will finally, by the course pur-
sued, force legislation that will not be
for the best interests of all concerned

capitalized corporations now, viii
make vastly more profitable future
for them and among other things it Is
a duty Incumbent ON them to assist in
a general. liberal and truthful adver
tisement of the resources of this valley
and city. Capital is wanted in ou
chamber of commerce. Those mos.
able to give it all needed assistance
have stood back and allowed the peo
pie of the city and valley with limited
means, some of them earning then
livelihood by days work, to put up
of their hard-earned and needed money
for the dissemination of information
thar would bring settlers to the coun-
trv, while there are in our midst 4
half-dazen moneyed institutions 1ha'
could literally support our chamber OF
commerce and never feel the burden al
all. The situation is very rightfully
attracting the attention of the people
N this community thus being imposed
upon in this special respect, and it ac-
counts for the hesitation ON the par
of the general public to go farther il
maintaining an Institution, the results
of which are simply gobbled up by in
catia ble grasping of the hest effort,
of the community. The following is
the letter above referred to.

What is the use of Colonel Wilson
blowing for free silver and against
Statehood when there is not a hope in
Congress for a thing to be done in that
line till silver men are sufficiently
plentiful there to do something? The
Republicans of Arizona have taken
the only rational course TO secure any
benefit to that cause If it should again
become prominent, and that is to Sc
cure Statehood Immediately that the
