New Mexico and Montana LsaA, Sat Ohio Ia Doing Very rs-' .,
 We'll e. ra----

To-day the seat of the sheep-rsaring { industry of the union has shifted from the middle west to the plateau region between the Rockies and the Sierras writes Capt J H MeChntock, in Aims lees. Ohio Is still doing very we'll in the business, with nearly a,oo0,Ooo head, but she has dropped from first to fourth in the list of mutton produc- ing states. New Mexico is at the head with more than 4oooeoo, Montana has nearly as many, while Wyoming leads Ohio closely by a few hundred thousand head Idaho closely follows Ohio in rating Oregon, California and Texas each has about 2,50O eco sheen. The Navajo Indians of Arizona are a material factor in the wool market The tribe is wealthy through its fiocks The tribesmen are believed to own lii. tie short of 1000 900 head, the care of the Hacks and the weaving of wool being almost the sole occupation of the 22,OOo Indians. Singular to relate only small part of the Navajo woo! crop is worked up at home into the wonderful blankets that have r, ade the tribal name famous. Only the coarssr and cheaper blankets are now made of the native wool The up-to.date Navajo weaver uses Germantown yarn and Diamond dyes,

THE ELECTRIC LIGHT.

The hewsthat positively an electric light plant will be erected in Bisbee immediately iS indeed good news, and news. of 8 reassnring nature.
 All improvspents are welcomed by she snterprising citizens of town; and no town can, these days, be considered as advanced in the ranks of progressive cities unless its streets, its business housss, and indeed many of it's private dwellings are fitted and illuminated with the electric light,
 The. Bisbse Improvement company is 70 be the immediate cause of giving this boon to Blsbee and 1t will perform it's work in a, thorough manner.
 Bisbee is city, now, that is hardly excesGed in importance in Arizona. Its wealth is updoubted. It's output is a factor in the total production of copper that statistics hold up as an addition to the national wealth,
 It is true that Bisbee, though im- proving in her buildings. and boosting of a rapidly increasing and prosperous population, is one of the worst lighted towns in this region. This lack of safe and sufficient lighting is due not to the want of the. spirit of development in her citizens, but perhaps because of the peculiar position of the town; a po- ,ition that makes 1t costly to supply the city In all parts with this necessary system of lighting
 All this no longer stands in the way, and Bisbee will have complete and sstistactory system of electric light.
 The safety imparted by this method ls'one of its greatest features, and the difference 1t makes to the cost of insur- ance win commend 1t to the property owners.
 As . speculation, surely in this town, with its unusually large number of homes and and its irregular streets the installation of the plant will be sue. cess.
 It is needed here if an electric light system was ever needed anywhere.
 The men behind the scheme are prominent citizens, and the public are ssked to, and eal buy and hold shares, guarantee of the people having a voice in the management of the affairs of the company.
 Every improvement of this nature will be welcomed in Bisbee, and efforts like this, to add to the comfort and safety of her citizens will be appreci- ated, and receive substantial recogni- tion and support.

iafactory though they were, it was bet ter to endure them than the perils to be encountered abroad.
 Next door to the old home of the minister lived a woman who was very fond of Jim and who regretted the cir. cumStances that brought about a change of residence. She wrote letter the other day and addressed it to Jim" This letter was placed by a maid on a hatrack in the hall, along with the other letters delivered at the same time. Jim seemed to know this letter was intended for him. because when a member of the family came downstairs that morning he was found trying to tear open the envelope. Strangely enough, he had never taken such liberty with letter before that time and has not disturbed any letter since.
 Although Jim has lived all his life in the home of minister, he does not always show that humility which would naturally be expected. He likes to make visits, but no other cat is al- lowed on his premises. Next door to Jim's home is house he loves to visit. He will roam all through it and play with the cat which comes there, but the other day when the neighbours cat came, as if to return call, Jim met him at the door, hit him on the side of the head with paw and marched proudly up the stairs, as though he bad done something worthy the pet of . minister's household n,
