MISS SELDEN'S FROG FARM.
When She Made $1,000 the First Season
Neighbors Quit Laughing.

| Neighbors quit Laughing.
New York Herald:] One of the
sights of Friendship, N. J. is the
frog farm of Miss Mona Selden
Miss Selden was school teacher
in New York few years ago. III
health forced her to resign and
caused her to take up a unique oc
cupation. Miss Selden visited d
market one day and saw dozens oi
frogs legs on sale. She found
they were high priced and immedi
ately got the idea that she could
make money raising frogs.
The country around Friendship
is dotted with marshes and small
ponds that during the spring and
summer are full of frogs Of all
sizes. This land was considered
of little value, and when Miss Sci.
den offered one of the owners So
an acre for twenty acres Of the
wettest and boggiest of it, he jump
ed at the chance to sell.
The first thing Miss Selden did
to her property was to fence it in,
and when her purpose became
known to the neighbors they sat
IN the village sores at night and
cracked jokes at her expense.
1t was late IN the season when
Miss Selden finished the job of fenc.
ing, and she spent the winter in
reading everything she could get
hold Of that told about frogs, and
when she wasn't reading she was
out in barn shooting at a mark
with target rife.
When spring came and the frog
season opened the former school
teacher could hit a bulIseye at
sixty PAGES, and she went to shoot
ing frogs on her preserves and
shipping them to New York. The
first season she cleared $500.
Then those who had laughed at
her went to shooting frogs and
sold them to her, While she ship
ped them to New York at a nice
profit. That was five years ago.
She has since made from $4,000 to
$4,000 q year in the business.

OUGHT TO BE REPEALED.

The Star strongly objects to the
repeal of the immigration Com
law, on the ground that
the commissioners have accomplish
ed so much for the territory. This
is where the Star is somewhat mis-
taken. In nearly every county in
the Territory the immigration
Commissioner is a newspaper man,
who, 1t is true, is able to accomp'
lish more in the direction OF i'm
migration than anyone else. But
on the other hand the newspapers
whose editors are not commits
sioners have sent out just as much
literature and have done just as
much if not more toward building
up the country than the comm's
sioner newspapers.
But one of the greatest coJec
tions to this law is that it provides
what the salary shall be but says
nothing as to what amount shaI
be given in return. According II
Its provisions the COMMISSIONS,
simply does what he sees fit, pre-
sents his bills and draws his sal
ary.
But so far the Board OF Sup
ervisors in Graham county bav
had the good sense to refuse t.
pay this salary.
1t is a law calculated to blee'
the people, receiving nothing II
return, and to subsidlze the pres
OF the Territory to the appointing
power,
We are proud to say that Ora
ham County's Councilman intr
duced the bill.

In G. w. Pittocks weekly letter,

following on Graham County's
mines is found:
In Graham County, at Clifton, is
Che Arizona Copper Company
with large plant and good pro
perties. There is every prospect
of the company almost doubling
its product over that of 1898, and
realizing S2,000,O00 this year,
whereas it was all of 81 100000 in
1898. The company is progressive
and, like the Copper Queen and
United Verde, keep on improving
their facilities.
At Morenci the Detroit Cop
per Company, controlled by the
Copper Queen, will do vastly bet
ter than in 1898 having added con-
siderable machinery in the spring
of 1898, which will show results
in 1899. The introduction of
water by new pipe line will aid
to some extent in operating.

in view of the reprehensible of

That such powers have of late

elusive that those powers have
been vested in most unworthy

to remove the powers, as there
seems to be no hope that such
powers will fall into worthy hands

face of recent history of the dark,

the heads of the hydra which preys

a territory's administration owes
its power and place wholly to the
influence of corporations, and
mainly to non tax.paying corpora

THE ATLANTIC PACIFIC.
From the Gazette

FROM lHe Tazette,
The decision of the Unitet States
supreme court exempting the At
latte and Pacific railroad from
nearly its entire taxation in this
territory is deadly blow TO the
counties of Apache, Navajo, Coco
nino, Yavapai and Mohave, The
decision simply paralyzes a valua'
ton of 81, 100000 in these counties
so that to-day this road pays
virtually nothing for the privilege
of traversing across the territory,
saying naught of the protection
given it by reason of territorial
penal laws and police regulation.
AT a rough estimate, and ii
is reasonably accurate one, this
railroad transacts business with
the nothern portion of the terri
tory to an extent of 100000 an.
nually on cattle alone. From the
town of Holbrook in Navajo coun
ty there is shipped over this road
100000 pounds of wool annually
and from this town are supplied
all of the towns of Navajo, Apach'
and all Of the nothern part o
Gila counties and Fort Apach'
and the Moqui Indian school
Without an absolute transcript
from the books of the corporation
1t is not possible to accurately es
innate the earnings of the roa,
through its business in Arizona
but we believe it safe to approx
mate it at not less than 81 100000
In the face of this the corporatio
taking advantage of technicalit,
in its charter from congress, pul
sues Arizona, and drags the ma
ter INTO the highest court of tn
land, where through strict an
almost penal construction of lega
language it succeeds in securing
decision through which it escape
the payment of any of the burden
of the people from whom it d.
rives its sustenance, its pretectio
and it's life.
;, The question arises, what
Arizona gong TO do about it?
The present Legislature mus
deal with this question, and mus
be dealt with at once.
The Gazette suggests a careful
study of tho Wisconsin plan Q
license fees to railroads. If it ca
be made to apply here then al
railroads in the territory should b
exempted from taxation on tbei
properties and licences issued t
to them to operate.
| The Gazette also suggests tha
the railroad exemption act nigh
be repealed.
These suggestions are given pub
licity at this time because we be
lieve that the matter should b
taken in hand in an earnest man
ner by the legislature, and some
thing, as near as possible right
but at any rate effective, be- don,
to relieve the people of our north
ern counties from the present con
dition of things with reference Il

Old English Custom That Has Not En-.

A custom Of one time prevalent in
England, and still observed IN some

country, is that Of placing an immense
log OF wood-sometimes the root OF O
great tree-iD the wide chimney place.
This is often called tie Yule log, and
it was on Christmas Eve that II was
put on the wide hearth. Around it
would gather the entire family, and
its entrance was the occasion OF O.
great deal Of ceremony. There was
music and rejoicing, while the one an-
thorized to light it was obliged TO have
clean hands.
It was always lighted with brand
left over from the log Of the previous
year, which had been carefully pro-
served for the purpose. A poet sings
of it in this way:
With the last yeeres brand
Light the new block and
For good success in his spending
On your psaltrles play,
That sweet luck may
Come while the log Is attending.
The Yule log was supposed TO be
protection against evil spirits, and it
was considered bad omen IL the fire
went out before the evening Was over.
The family and guests used to seat
themselves in front OF the brightly
burning fire, and many story and
merry jest went round the happy
