Tho underground system. he says. is

To Propagate Roses.

Itis difficult for a novice to suc- ceed in propagating roses. One method which has been recommend ed is as follows: Good cuttings of roses are placed in bottle contain ing water and the bottle is then suspended on the sunny side of a wall and there left. more water be- ing supplied as fast as that in the bottle evaporates. The water be comes warm in the sunshine,- and in a short time the cuttings form each callous, and in less time, and with more certainty, It is claim ed, than in the soil. They are then planted in pots in the ordinary way. Some good hybrid perpetuals have been raised on their own roots in that manner. The experiment. is easily tried and coets little or noth- ing.

For Statehood.

The Washington 1inoes says Gov ernor Murphy is working for the admission of the territory as a state. He will remain in Washington some time and do what he can to persuade congress to take action. He is not sanguine, however, of being able to accomblish much during the brief time left of the present session. Arizona Is prosperous and he thinks entitled to the rights of statehood. It is 9 very rich territory and has a population of more than one hun dred thousand, The people arc in dustrious and very patriotic.
 Why" said he, "Arizona provid- ed the first two hundred volunteers who enlisted for the war. I believe that whether free silver is the do- issue in 1900 or not Arizona will declare for the gold standard "

Great Opening for CHbans.

Probably the world could be searched over without finding a spot with more opportunities open to the natives than Cuba presents at this time. The Cubans are on the ground, they speak the langu- age, they know the customs of the country, and they are acciimated. They live in a land of exhaustless fertility, where frost never comes, and one crop succeeds another in an endless round. Industry has long been prostrated. The rebound
 is now at hand. Looking in any
 direction, the Cuban can see work that needs attention. A countless number of farms desolated by armies need 10 be restored and i'm proved. In the towns and villages that have been running down for years the sound of the mechanics hon'I orc; he liveiv

sanitary campaign. Railroads are
 in poor condition, and other roads
 that should have been built cen
 turies ago must now be planned
 A boom of constructive business
 ought to prevail in Cuba through out it's whole length.
 Under such circumstances the
 Cuban politician may well take a
 back seat. The first imperative need Is to set in motion the wheels of industry. Cuban newspapers should give far more space to busi- ness topics, to the occupations of the people. Heretofore they have dealt almost exclusively with poli- tical affairs. While 1t is true that only a third of the inhabitants of Cuba can read, the number will rapidly increase; and when the matter printed is ofinterest to them they will doubtless hear of it in some way. The fervid style of the 1 Havana editorial should pass away l with the Spanish flag. IL is not worth while to tear passion to tat ters every day in the year. The military representatives of the | United States will put Cuba in good ! shape, and there will be no un- necessary delay about it. for that is not the American fashion. By | placing business above politics at this time the Cubans can help their material affairs and also hasten the arrival of stable government of their own choice.

Once I was young man, and now I am old, and Fve never seen a girl unfaithful to her mother that ever came to be worth one eyed button to her husband. It IS the law of God.

During the next few days there will arrived in Needles a steamer and barge. The steameris of modern construction with a light draft and built of steel. 1t was made in Gin cinnati, Ohio, for the Santa Ana Mining Co.,, who are the owners of considerable placer ground on the Colorado river below Cottonwood Island and about 50 miles above here. It is intended to coal the steamer at Needles for the point above mentioned wherethe company contemplate putting Tn a large plant.
 It is estimated that 1t will take about six weeks to set up the boat and get her in reaedness to launch :. MT. Hugh T. Kemper will have direct charge during this operation, and Is expected here within a day or two.-Eye.

 TIE Yellow River, which has been named the "Sorrow of China" is probably the most destructive stream on the face of the earth. In less than 100 years it has changed it's channel four times, and the point where it empties into the sea has from time 10 time been moved. up and down the coast distance of 300 miles. It runs through vast alluvial plain. and is fed by strems from a great system of mountains in the north. When the snow melting on this range comes at g time of heavy rains, the result IS sure to be terrific flood. It has been estimated that in the past three centuries over 1O.000,0Oo hu- man beings have perished in the Roods of the Yellow River. For destructIveness. both of life and property, this stream is unparal-; leled, and the soubriquet bestowed upon it IS amply justified by its history.

The bsbocomari and other grants are expected to be disposed of in the course of business. More than likely the court will be in session some time. Much interest Is being taken in matters referring to land grants, hence the presence of the court is attracting some at- tent;on -tStar.
