PORTO RICO.

Washington, May P. The Porto Rican bill is net so much discussed now as before its passage. To give the island absolute free trade with the United States Is a comparative ly unimportant matter in itself, but it would establish a dangerous precedent. It would established 6 rule for all possessions recently, or hereafter, acquired Any mistake made now might not be easily rectifed. If Porto Rico is already under the Constitution then the Philippines are so practically. In that case, according to the views held by extreme anti-expansionists, we must incorporate into the body polite 10,OO0,O0O of Malays as citizens of the United States, giving the Philippines one or more terri toriaI governments, and possibly bringing our wage-earneys and farmers into competition with the very cheap, semi-peon labor of the archipelago.
 Congressman Boutelle, of Illinois, well expressed the sentiment of all who are disposed to entertain ra- tional and practical views on this question when he said: "I am op- posed to admitting into citizenship ofthe Unized States any people until they show capacity for bear ing the burdens and responsibilities of our govern ment."

the stock and other information that may be used in a statistical re- port of the live stock interests.
 The enumeratorS who will call on everyone between the 1st and 30th day of June, will in addition to taking names and other statisti- cal matters, take all live stock and and it's relative data, belonging to people whose holdings are less thar 500 head. Thus between the emu merator5 and special agents every head of stock should be accounted for and the census showing should be complete,
 The special agents and the enum- orators are all sworn to secrecy and prohibited from divulging any in formation given them officially, as 1t is secured for statistical purposes only. Itwill not be accessible to assessors or any one else who could use the information to the disad- vantage of the property owner. It is therefore the duty of every per son to make full and complete re- turns of their property and all good citizens who have the welLbeing of
 the territory at heart will dc their
 utmost to aid the special agents
 and the enumeraters in their work,
 so that wien the compilation IS
 completed and the result is made
 known Arizona will have 10 her
 credit valuation III property which
 will be in keeping with her other demands for the rights of statehood. During the past eight months stock
 has been very high and the threat ened drouth owing to light rainfall
 and a small snowfall in tho moun- tains has caused many ranchers of the county to dispose of a large
 portion of the!r herds, in some In-
 stances over fifty per cent preferring
 to avail themselves of the high prices rather than take chances on a possible drouth.
 For this reason this county even at proper enumeration and valu- ation of live stock will not show as large valuation in this industry as in past years. It is therefore especially urged that all stock own CTS will give in accurate returns. The cattlemen themselves are for the most part interested in the work and the taking of tho live stock census this time was first urged by the Cattlemen's National Association and the work is fully endorsed ny them.

DREDGING ON COLORADO.

Districts that are said to rival the rich auriferous gravel beds up on which great dredging machines are at work near Oroville are be-
 ieved to exist along both banks of the Colorado river within territory beginning twelve miles above Yuma and extending up stream about twenty-five miles. Plans are now being made for exploiting and de- veloping the country with steam dredgers.
 Col. T. ". Brooks, an old resid- ent of Yuma, who has recently visited OroviIle, where he went to study the latest dredging methods in vogue there, says ofthe new fields on the Colorado: "There are three districts so far. One, on the Cali fornia side of the river and called the Pot Holes. is about twelve miles long. Another opposite on the Arizona side of the river and per haps fifteen miles long, is known as the Laguna district. The third, on the California side and farthest up stream, is about fifteen miles long and is named the Picacho dis trict. Each of these districts en- braces widened mouths of dry arroyos, or small canyons, that were once tributaries of the river. and also includes sandbars adjacent to the river banks. They are mar velously rich compared to the OrO- vile beds, where the best average yield is not $1 cubic yard. These Colorado deposits vary from 30 cents to SIP cubic yard. The average conservatively stated is $5 in gold from every cubic yard of earth. Their existence was first learned about six months ago, al 1 though the streams coming into the arroyos from the mountains back of them have been known as gold producers for years, and have been dry-washed for the metal for halt 8 century.
 "Six comparies have been or ganized and have secured by pur- chase and by pre-emption 2,000 acres of placer ground. One com pany has already sold 8 half in terest in 2,1O0 acres of it's territory to Corsby, Gardner, Linn & Go. of Colorado Springs, in order to raise
 working capital.
 ''Cur district is the upper one,
 the Picacho. It has one arroyo
 that is about half mile wide and
 three miles long, The idea is to con-
 struct the dredgers OF the Colorado
 river and then bore right in from
 the river into the arroyo, carrying
 pool ot water along with the ma chine for it to work in, just as the thing is done at.Oroville. In ad- dition to the broad arroyos in which : gold has had chance to settle af- ter coming dewn from the noun tains there are sandbars in little way from andparal!el with the river bank. After dredging out a whole . arroyo the machine can blow along one of these bars and enter tht next arroyo and mine that. The
 ease and snccess of this method 0 mining is being emphaticall prover about Oroville, where three mel and $20,O0O or $30,000 dredgel , we have ordered is to handle abou 2,OOO cubic yards of earth ant gravel day; it is not the larges kind used. ."-San Diego Union.

ate early. in the session by Senator JACOB

Considerable historical interest as well as
state pride is attached to the bill. The bill
has been gotten into shape by DR. William
Bullock Clark state geologist, who has had
occasion to investigate the length and regu-
Iarity of the. line while engaged in the
work of the geological survey in the north
eru section of the state. DIR. Clark discov-
cred that the monuments that marked the
line have been destroyed by vandals and
carried away. For a considerable distance
there Is nothing TO indicate the separation
OF Maryland and Pennsylvania, and, in con-
sequence, numerous property complications
tuted. Farmers Of both states owning land
that was formerly bounded by the line have
now no means of determining where their
property ends. and letters from Maryland
farmers in the upper counties have been
sent to DIR. Clark asking information in re-
gard to the matter.

Same Number of Words.
From the Chicago Tribune.
Some one had said something about long
letters and at once half dozen men in the
crowd had stories to tell. When they had
began.
MY story" he said rather significantly,
'is true. II deals with what probably was
the longest letter ever written. I've never
told it before. because-well, because 1t car
ries with 1t an explanation of why I am a
bachelor. You'll have to take my word for
the story. although 1 still have the letter
at home and could show it if 1 wished.
Ten years ago 1 was living in Kansas
City. l never was much on sentiment, but
the girl in the story was not of the ordi
nary sort. Besides, she had a fortune in
her own name and her father had more
money than he could count. didn't love
her for her money, though, and would have
liked her just as well if she had been head
over heels in debt.
"One night l mustered up courage to tell
her that l loved her. Instead of falling on
my neck and expressing surprise, as con-
ventional girls are supposed to do, she
looked me straight in the eyes and said she
knew it. Moreover. she loved me and would
marry me If would make her one prom
Use. That was plain and fair enough. Kan
sas City girls are that way. 1 told her I
would make her a hundred promises and
keep them ALL Then she said she wanted
me to promise that 1 would stop smoking
cigarettes.
Il don't know what prompted me to
tempt my own undoing. but did. l assur-
ed her with all earnestness that I had
never had cigarette between my lips. She
