A BarkIs on she Range.
From the Kansas City star.l

A Kansas City girl who put a "matri- monial" advertisement in a recent number of the Star is probably still gasping for breath over the following letter which reached her few days ago.
 Liberal, Kan, Nov. 29.-My Dear Young Woman: I had just fininshed rounding up the market reports in. the Star to-day when l caught your brand in the personal column, and as Pm just about the swiftest thing that comes down the pike, I made up my mind right away that you're just the maverick that l want to get my rope on, so if you want to be queen of my heart and 1860 head of the best white face cattle in this neck of the woods, just send the old man line. and we'll be running our herd on the same range quicker'n backing horse can pitch a cowboy into the middle of next week. Before you put your sig. onto that letter you're a-going to write me, just tell me all about yourself-whether you are full blue -blooded or just a common dogie, and if you ride leap ing horn saddle, or have you got onto that new-fangled way some of the city l girls have of riding clothespin fashion. I wouldn't object, exactly, if you dc ride that-a-way, but if you'd just as soon not, I'll get the best buckskiH sidesaddle in the market, with lots oi gingerbred on the tapideros and silver l jinglebobs all over it.
 If you want to know anything about me, justwrite to Kilgore & Hays

The West is unit in desiring the reclamation of its arid lands. Appro- priations for this purpose are demanded not only by reason of the obligation of She Nation to improve its property, but as an offset to the great sums con- tributed by the arid interior for the improvement of the rivers and harbors of the rest of the country. The work of the National Irrigation Association has been mainly propaganda among the merchants and manufacturers of the East for the purpose of arousing them to the importance of opening new markets by irrigation. This propaganda has been remarkably sue cessful.--ESan Francisco Chronicle.

Irrigation has long since passed b

Irrigation has long since passed be- yond the experimental stage. It has even reached the point where little can be done by private capital. Yet vast areasof the public domain remain un- reclaimed in localities where land would have high value if an artif- cial water supply were assured the year around. Without storage reser- voirs they would be barren and use less indefinitely, but once irrigation becomes possible they will be quickly settled and will support much larger population than the same number of acres of land maintain in regions where normal rainfall prevails Philadelphia North American.

ARRIVAL OF MIR. DAVIS.
Prospecting for Bed Rock Will Begin at
 Once.
From the Phoenix Republican,

lfrom the PhoeniX BeplDHcaH.I
 Mr. Arthur P. Davis, hydrographer of the United States geological survey, l arrived here yesterday morning on the train from the north and is reg istered at the Hotel Adams. His com ing has been so frequently referred to of late that it is unnecessary to go in to details as to his mission, which is to inaugurate the work of exploring for bed rock on the various dam sites in the valley and the compilation of other data relating to the water supply.
 He said last evening that he expect, d to leave this morning for the Verde with Mr. Hamilton, who came here day or two ago from Los Angeles. Mir. Heisler, who arrived two or three weeks ago, has made tbe necessary arrange ments for the initial camps and no time will be lost in getting the work started. Other members of the corps are expected daily.
 | thorough and exhaustive exploration of the Verde basin, including the lower dam site just above the Arizona canal head and the possible sites above. The matter of water supply will be care l fully considered and all details in con nection with storage enterprise. The machinery shipped from San Carlos is here and more is en route from Los 1 Angeles.
 ] Mir. Davis will only be here week this time, as it is urgent that after that he spend month in Washington com pleting his report on the isthmian canal enterprises and in consultation with the canal commissioners. He will return here in February or March to view the work accomplished and to further direct it. It is quite possible that before his labors here are com pleted he will examine also the Hudson and Tonto reservoir sites, thongh at l present the work will be entirely 1 within the Verde basin.
 Mir. Davis is great friend of Ari- zona and has given much time and study to tue irrigation possibilities of this region. He is in reality pioneer 1 Arizonan, as his first independent l work in the line of his profession was performed in northern and eastern Arizona seventeen years ago. He talks very entertainingly of the Nicaragua in the tropics. He has prepared an arr ticle for the January Forum on the canal question, which will no doubt be of great interest to all Americans. The climate of the tropics, he says, is not particularly disagreeable except in
 the swampy country, and many places it is exceedingly healthful for those
 who take care of themselves and let liquor alone. He did not have single sick day during the two years he spent
 there on his two visits. Speaking of
 the building of the canals, he says
 there are many Americans who have
 been there from twenty to fifty year,
 waiting for the big enterprise to ma
 terialize and expecting to make theil fortunes when the work was finally
 begun in earnest. The Nicaragua route, though the most expensive, hs
 says, is for many reasons the prefer
 able one for the United States to taks
 hold of.

Regarding Office Holders.

The Globe Democrats Washington correspondent has the following to say about the office holders of Uncle sam:
 When the president formally in- vited his cabinet to remain with him another term, he meant something more. Office holders, great and small, who are giving satisfaction in the dis charge of their duties, are practically included in the invi tation to stay. There are to be no removals except: for good cause. The only changes and appointments which will occur will be those due to vacancies on ac- count of deaths or voluntary resigna- tions. Authority for this statement comes from. the White House. The Presidents policy regarding patronage was announced explicitly and definite ly in response to an inquiry made re- spscting it.. Efficient officials holding commissions for stated teHms will be re-appointed. Those who are serving without fixed, tenure will continue without interruption by the transition of the administration from first to second term. This statement applies not alone to government officials in Washington. It will be the policy to continue postmasters, collectors, dis trict attorneys, judges, marshals and other federal officers through the next term '-

.GtN. CHAFFEt'S CRITICISM
Says Allies Have Forfeited Right
to Reproach Chinese.
SHOW LACK OF DISCRETION.
Natives Are ,flamed by tho Unnece,-
snry Expedition~---P rotracted stay OF
3 the Foreisn Torce, Declared to Have
Been AN Unwise Move.

Manila, June General Chaffee has
arrived here from China, and is the
guest OF General Macarthur General
Chaffee, in talking of the Chinese ques-
ton. said he believed that the allies
had lost all their gains by their pro-
trocted stay. They had forfeited every
right to reproach the Chinese by their
persevering responsiveness, unneces-
sary expeditions, which had indamed
the natives, and their insistence upon
executions, all of which had placed for
eigners in a more unfavorable light in
Chinese eyes than before the Boxer
troubles. Russia's strong influence at
the court has beon improved by her
moderation. General Chaffee went on
to say that settlement of the Chinese
question hinges on satisfactory allot-
ment of the indemnity. He does not
expect definite developments until this
matter assumes tangibility. The en-
tire attention of the Chinese, the Gen
eral said, is directed to obtaining the
evacuation of the province of Chilli by
the foreign troops, and hence they are
willing to accede to all reasonable de-
mands. They earnestly desire to re-
sumo their government. but the ques-
ton of guarantees for indemnities is a
serious one which will require much
patience and forbearance to settle.
Meantime lawlessness is spreading in
the province, as no imperial troops are
allowed there. After the evacuation
by the allies the return OF normal con-
ditioIs will be gradual. Until then
China will have no opportunity to
prove her sincerity 1t is manifestly
impossible for her to do so before nor
NAL conditions are re-established.
In conclusion, General Chaffee said
that the Chinese problem was not yet
solved. He believes that Russia in
tends to maintain her present influence
in North China, but does not intend to
extend it, except in Manchooria.

Freezing Furs-and Moths.

Once upon 4 time woman who mad
cedar chests in which to store her VIM
ter belongings was considered for
tunate being indeed and looked upon
with envy by her sister housewives.
Now cedar chests, camphor and moth
balls are all scorned as old-fashioned
and inadequate by the patrons OF cold
storage warehouses, where furs are
taken care Of and costly draperies,
rugs, etc, are sent for protection from
the moths. The expert furriers say
that heat and not moths is the chief
danger that threatens furs. A months
wear in warm weather is harder on
fine furs than years Of use with the
thermometer at freezing point. Heat
takes the life out of fur and pales the
color, leaving it limp, dull and faded.
In the modern storage house the furs
are kept in rooms where the air is
dry as a bone and the temperature
many degrees below freezing point.
Any daring moth that found it's way.
into this room would be ut once frozen
stiff. Sealskins, skunk and other furs
which have Il furry Odor, however
faint, are not as apt to attract the
moth as are sable, chinchilla and en-
mine. Great attention is paid to the
way the fur is smoothed when gar
ments are laid away by fur-packers.
Each hair has to be in it's proper
place OF a rough, rubbed appearance
will be the result when the garment is
taken out for use. One Of the biggest
furriers in town believes in heroic
treatment as a preventive of moths.
All the furs in his establishment are
kept hanging in cedar closets, and
once a week all year round each gar
ment is taken out and well beaten and
