 To all interested in the future well fare of Arizona the question of the ad- equate water supply is of paramount importance, for it must be conceded that the increasing demand upon the present supply threatens agricultural extinction.
 The proposition to cede the arid lands to the states and territories is wrong in theory, because individuals have not got the means to build res .ervoirs nor experiment with artesian wells; hence, with the exception of small part of this class of land, it would for generations remain idle. Such lands might be good enough to advertise in eastern papers, to be sold as some mines are but for practical farming purposes they would remain idle.
 fAera IS way to utilize this vast dolaain, by the aid If, and at no ulti- mate cost to the federal government i; and if those who make our laws would but consider the greatest good to the greatest number, and let the improve ment of Mud creekn rest awhile, and turn their attention to the vast possi- bilities of this rich land now lying idle for want of water, it is possible to formulate a plan to redeem it and put it under cultivation.
 Here, for instance, is tract of one million aares of land suitable for irri- gation and cultivation, adjacent a range-of mountains with an immense water shed, the waters from whicl during rains which come quite regu' larly, run to waste in ancient river beds. Let the government build reser voirs, place the cost upon the land I which is now worth absolutely noth ing, and sell it in small tracts to actua settlers, giving them ten, twenty O even fifty years in which to pay for it
The Florence tribune., 1899-07-22

with interest at say three or four per cent. When the land is all sold the purchasers to own lapd and reservoirs 1; the government has principal and interest and millions of acres are thus reclaimed from desolation.
 This plan is possible and feasible. More, it is practical It would do vastly more for mankind than tirs many schemes worked through by in- terested congressman for tue improve ment of local duck ponds and creeks not large enough for a birch bark canoe, and it is safe to say that unless Uncle Sam comes to our aid it will be many, many moons before any portion of this vast body of waste land is utilized.

Liquid Air at Two Gents a Gallon.
From the San FranOlsco Examiner.l

From the San. Francisco Examiner.l
 An experimental test of liquid air plant built after the designs of Oscar P. Ostergren and Morriz Burger was made recently in New York before many scientists and others interested in the new power.
 One of the principal objects of the experiment. was to demonstrate that it is possible to make liquid air at cost which will render it useful for com mercial purposes, and make it as com mon in every household as heat and light.
 { The capacity of the plant is fifteen hundred gallons day, and during the actual running time of the machinery this average-was kept ups The fluid, looking like pure water, had tenn perature of about 400 degrees below zero and cost a trihe over 5 cents gallon-which is said to bs l5 cents less than any ever made before.
 The first gallon of liquid air ever made cost about $2,5o0 Mfr ostergren de- monstrated to the satisfaction of the experts that it cen now be made for ? cents gallon.
 The machinery comprising his plant is simple, and the only care necessary is to have receptaeles strong enough to sustain very high pressure.
 The air to be- lioueied IS taken through standpips from above the roof of the factory, and after being washed and filtered is compressed until the gauge shows pressure of 200 de- grees. This pressure makes heat, so the compressed air, after being cooled by passing it through coils of pipe inn mersed in water, is permitted to escape into chamber where 1t expands in stantly and turns to liquid, which can be drawn from receiver under the chamber.
 The air which does not liquefy pas ses again through the system and cools the incoming air so that by this circula- ton the temperature is kept below 9l2 degrees, at which temperature com pressed air becomes liquid air. The process can be kept up for an indefinite period.
 The value of liquid air as refriger- ant was shown in several appliances designed for use in an entirely new line. The fluid being chemically pure, l an apparatus has been made to dis i tribute it through hospitals, hotels, private houses and other places so that any desired temperature may be main 1 tained. It can be made cold enough inside house to make hannels 8 necessity, while the outside walls may be blistering from the heat.
 The only obstacle in the way of the extensive use of liquid air is the danger of explosion from heat MT. ostergrer has invented carrier by which tn fluid preserved in the new way is safe and eau be transported anywhere with
 out danger.

One of the pretexts urged as an ex- cuse for subjugating the inhabitants of the Philippine islands is, that they are ignorant and incapable of self-govern- ment. Brig Gen. Charles King, who recently returned from those islands, holds different opinion. In letter to the Milwaukee Journal, he says "the capability of the Filipinos fcrs self-government cannot be doubted, and if given a fair start they could look out for themselves infinitely bet ter than our people imagine" Gen. King has been there-has fought them, and they have taught him to respect them.

second term of President Andrew Jackson system of internal improve ments more or less expensive has been carried out. An annual river and harbor bill carrying fifty or more millions is now passed with as much regularity and with more unaniminity than any other of the great appr opria- tion bills. In the last river and harbor bull there was inserted by the senate an item of "three hundred thousand dollars to begin a system of national irrigation for the arid lands" This the house refused to concur in, and congress in it's last moments was held for more than five hours in deadlock over this item. Senators and represen- tatives from the west yielded and al- lowed this item to go out only after the lsAding men of both senate and house had faithfully promised Shat the next bill should provide for this appropria- tion. In all human probability the next river and harbor bill will contain an appropriation of at least three hundred thousand dollars ito begin system of national irrigation" and when such a system is once begun nothing can stop it except the govern ment in an evil moment is induced to part with it's title to these ands. Every great scheme of internal impr ovement that the government has been induced to foster and carry through has been by getting a small sum inserted in some appropriation bill to make sur veys, estimates of costs, etc., etc. This is the way the Sault Ste. Marie canal, the Sturgeon bay and Lake Michigan canal was started. The government has taken the same course with the Nicaraguan canal-which it will pro- hahly appropriate for at the next session-and it has substantially start ed on a system of national irrigation by appropriating $20,000 to ascertain the cost of one reservoir in each state and territory.
 Every irrigation congress that has ever convened has resolved in favor of national irrigation system and against any scheme for ceding the arid lands to the states and territories. There is no division of sentiment upon this question in any other section of the arid west, except in Arizona. Even in Wyoming, where the authos of tue Cary law, the Hon. Jas. M, Cary, Lives, the people are unanimous against ceasns tho lands. This atetenent was made by Senator Warren e Wyoming on the floor of the senate last March.
 Now let the people of Arizona get in line with the people in other states and territories in thearid belt and all unite in favor of national system Of irri- gation and stop the foolish telk abont eeding the lands to the states and ter ritories and tie government will in the very near future take hold of the mat ter, and when that glad time comes, this now worthless arid belt will be the richest and best par Of the United States. Statehood and national system of irrigation is all Arizona needs to make it one of the grandest political divisions of this grand country. Roth are in the power of congress to give. Let us all work unitedly and harmonioasly to that end.

Indian maize contains kernel in which there is yellow germ. Under chemical treatment this germ yields an oil which, when refined, is a com petitor with cotton seed oil in the sub stitution for olive oil, and which may be vulcanized and made to do duty as rubber. What are called rubber boots and shoes are being made from this imitation rubber at cost far below that of the genuine article.

Harris Fdanklin. president of the
Franklin Live Stock Company, which
now Owls the Hashknife cattle outfit,
md whose brands are probably on more
cattle thaa the brands of any other
cattle company in the north, left for
Texas last week to get prices on cattle
with Il view to making purchases for
shipment to his northern ranges. He
stated that he did not know that he
should make any purchases, but he
thought he would not unless great
concessions were made by the Texas
cattle men from the prices that they
are now asking for their stock. MIR
Franklin is feeding several thousand
head of cattle this winter on farms in
Nebraska and will ship them portl, in
the spring. They are cattle that he
purchased last fall.

In accordance with the terms of d
call sert out a few weeks ago, a large
number of horsemen met at Sturyis
last Saturday. for the purpose Of Or
ganiZing and caring for their property
lays the Sturgis Record. The first
circulars sent out asked an expression
ds to the place of meeting, and Sturgis
vas the almost the unanimous choice.
The Sturgis social club placed its hall
at the disposal of the visitors, and The
meeting was held there.
When called to order Henry Wytten-
bach was elected president, Geo. l
Cox vice-president and John G. Wenke
secretary.
Considerable discussion followed as
to the best method of carrying on the
work. 1t vas decided to Incorporate,
and a committee vas authorized to at
tend to that part Of the business. In
ltiatiOn fee was placed at So so, with
an assessment of , cents per head On
such horses as might be lislsd with the
secretary. This will place the a%ssocia-
tion on a good footing, and leave a sur
plus ia the treasury. Blank applica-
lions for membership have been print
cd, and will BE- sem out all over the
country, as the in~corpOrators desire to
haye DIS strong an organization as pos
sible.
Tie new association does not in any
way conflict with the Western South
Dakota Stock association, the latter
being distinctively d cattlemen's close
corporation, and has done an immense
amount of good in recovering estrays,
and putting Il stop to cattle rushing.
The first Regular meeting will lie

ments will be made for general spring

DriSkill Reports Few Losses.

W. u. Driskill, the Spearfish cattle
man, states that as far as he has been
able to learn the cattle on the ranges
northc"ly from the Hills have been
doing finely this winter, SO far, and he
did not anticipate any losses. He had
heard that the winter was more severe
on cattle in Wyoming as the weather
had been colder and there had been
more stol ms. He was rather expect
ing heavy losses in that region. He
has a large number of cattle on the
range ear Newcastle and he feared
they had suffered quite heavily during
the cold spell of the last few weeks.
He is keeping about 500 head of mixed
cattle on ranches in various parts Of the
country this winter, princi DAILY in the
vicinity OF Minnesota, on the Redwa-
ter, and is feeding them during the
storms. He says that method is very
satisfactory to him aud he believes it
is profitable.

zona and Texas with Il view to buying,
but there is q string attached to these
representatives. Don't buy unless YOU
can get stockers AT a figure that will
allow we northcrners to make a fair
profit" are the instructions. At the
same time, the Texans and Arizpnians
maintain a stiff spine and hold their
prices right up to the prohibilive
figures of 1898, and some have even
tackled on a still higher rate than last
year.
Such appears to be the stockor situa-
at this time and there appears to be no
indication of any radical change in it.
The result will be lighter stocker ship
ments north than ever, and consequent
ly lighter range cattle receipts at all the
eastern markets for 1899. However.
northern catlleneu have been doing
some breeding on their own hook dur
ing the past three or fOur years and
the northwestern range is not as near
free from cattl, as some people imag-
inc. The phenomenally light losses
during the late intense cold period
would Indicate that most Of the cattle
throughout the range states is being
provided with feed and shelter. and
when such a provision has been arrang-
ed cattlemen are in shape to breed.
And breed they will. AS THE STOCK
MAN has urged for the past four or
five years, breeding in the north is the
only solution of the stOcker problem
and this policy seems to have been
taken up by range cattlemen generally
throughout the northwest county,.
