In the course of a discussion in the
Royal United Service institution OF
london the point was made that the
most dangerous combination in a war
against Great Britain would be that
of Russia and the United States. A
letter from Captain Mahan, of five
years ago, was quoted, in which he
replied to question whether war be-
tween this country and Great Britain
was possible, that terrible as the fact
was, he could not hide from himself
the conviction of it's possibility" The
possibility, even the probability, that
in such a war we should have Russia
as an ally seemed to be assumed by
the speakers in the discussion.

there is great Lamarque rose tree
which has made remarkable growth
since it was planted, more than 25
years ago. It's trunk near the ground
is two feet nine inches in circum-

not much smaller. In 1895 the tree
produced over 1000 blooms.

A certain common informer," who
lived under the Stuarts, died, and left
money and lands to one of the great
city companies for schools and other
charitable purposes. He directed in
his will that his body should be kept
above ground in such way that it
could be seen through glass, and that
the governing body of the company
should, each year, under penalty of
forfeiting the property. visit his tomb
and see the body. This visitation is
still carried out every year.

NERVE WASTE

One of the most hopeful books on nerve weakness ever issued is that en- titled "Nerve Waste," by Dr. Sawyer of San Francisco, now in it's fifth thous- and. This work Of an experienced and reputable physician is in agreeable con- trast to the vast sum of false teaching which prevails on this interesting sub- ject. It abounds in carefully consider, ed and practical advice, and has the two great merits of wisdom and sheer ity.
 It is indOrsed by both the religious and secular press. The Chicago Advance says: "A perusal of the book ard the application of its principles will put health, hope and heart into thousands of lives that are now suffering through nervous impairment.

The following report from the direc- tor of experiment station, IS published as giving a fair resume of the conclu- sions which have heen reached in re- gard to agriculture in this territory:
 One of the most encouraging signs of the times in connections with Arizona is the growth of her agricultural interests These interests by creating settled population and certain sources Of wealth insure the Territory, as a whole against those excessive fluctuations in popula- tion and finance which are so often observed in purely mining communities. Although but a small percentage of the total area of Arizona is under cultivation, yet when the actual amount and prOductiveneSS of these lands is considered, the place of agriculture among the industries of the Territory is very important Arizona has and always will have land in excess of the water supply available for irrigation, without which agriculture can, excepting in rare instances, hardly be considered. Out of about 72, 2,S09 900 acres in the Territory only 5,70OCOO acres are privately owned, of which about 45O,000 acres are under irrigation ditch. For the total amount of land under ditch. there is not sufficient water in all instances to insure crops but in time there can be little doubt that tho storage and development Of water will lead to the successful irrigation of much more than tho area under ditch.
 The future Of agriculture in Arizona is, with out question, more than usually good, and for
The Arizona sentinel., 1901-09-25

the reason that the conditions of soil irrigation and climate combine to produce an uncommon variety and amount of marketable produce. The soil of Arizona as is usual with the soils of arid regions are rich in the elements of fertili ty. requiring only the ever-ncedful water, skill, and industry in their management to secure abundant returns. The fertility of cultivated soils in irrigated regions is further assured by the depoSite of silt brought upon the land with irrigation water. The problems of fertilization which become so serious in humid sections, are therefore of much less importance here and not to be so carefully recl1oned with in connection with the future of our agriculture.
 The most marked advantage in connection with agriculture and horticulture, especially in southern Arizona. is the climate. From January to June the temperature resembles that of spring and early summer in the latitude of Ken lucky. From June to September the climate is of subtropieal fervor, while from September to November there is a second mild season of tem- pcrate weather. The winter season, from Nov embcr to January, though subject to sharp frosts in southern Arizona, is not seriously or even uncomfortably cold.
 Owing to this combination of seasons re- markable variety of crops may be found in the same locality at different times of the year. Strawberries. which flourish in Greenland, may be found on the same land with dates and palms | from Sahara. Alfalfa, the great forage of the arid West, fourishes alongside with wheat, corn, and sorghum, respectively characteristic of Minnesota, Illinois, and Kansas. Oranges, lemons and olives from California may be found in the same neighoorhood with peanuts and sweet potatoes from Virginia. In brief, many of tho leading crops of both temperate and sub tropical countries, which are not affected by too arid atmosphere or by the frosts of winter, | flourish in southern Arizona. In northern Ari. zona, where the temperatures more resemble those of northern Illinois, many of the moro dis tinctfvcly temperate region crops flourish, such as potatoes, apples, and various small fruits.
 When, with this diversity of products is coupled healthful. and for the most Of the year agreeable, climate, it will be seen that agricul tural in Arizona possesses distinct advantages

The following article is extracted from Governor Murphy's annual report to the Secretary of the Interior and is an interesting presentation of facts re- garding some of the mineral resources of Yuma county, and d description of two of the richest gold mines: also something of the Castle Dome lead mines:

There are several other locations besides those conveyed to the King of Arizona

The shaft by which the exposure of the nature of the vein has been made is 20O feet deep and follows the dip of the hanging wall a distance of 40 feet eaSterly and 30 feet westerly. These show a continuity of vein having tho same characters and valncS develop cd by the shaft. The hill rises rapidly both east and west of the shaft so that the height of backs on the lode above the drifts is greater than a the shaft At point about 30 feet west of the shaft and on a level with the collar of the shaft the vein has been croSScut from wall to wall showing it IS feet wide at that point. The ore in the croSScut is of about the same grade as that in the shaft.

Woman Runs the Mill.

About four miles from Plainfield. on
the old Blackford farm at New Market,
the home of several generations of Black
fords, standsa quaint old sawmill that
has done the saving for the countryside
for nearly century. Il has undergone
some changes, making it more modern,
but without enlarging it much. More
modern machinery has been put in, and
the saw is DOW run by steam instead of
water from the little stream that courses
beside it, The engineer is Mrs. David
Blackford, wife of the owner, and, with
the skill hardly expected of one OF her
sex. she keeps the mill going.
During the Winter months Mr.. Black
ford is busy in Central and South America
buying and shipping lumber North, for
firms that be represents. Meanwhile his
wife cares for the business at home. AL
though woman of rather slender pro-
portions. she handles much of the lumber
for the saw. but in case of extra work she
has the assistance of a man and boy. She
looks after the financial part of the busi-
ness, as well. and cares for the farm and
her household duties.

A DESTRUCTIVE STORM.
The Worst Flood in Twenty
Years. Travel Interrupted.

The storm on Saturday night wrought
destr uction in various parts of Pennsyl-
MIA and New York, and, besides many
lives being lost. an immense amount of
damage was done to property. and rail-
road traffic was partially suspended
In New Jersey the worst destruction
was along the Delaware river, and at
Trenton the water was higher than in
twenty years, flooding houses in the
lower part of the city so that the occu-
pants had to move out. The water power
which is back OF the Stale House, aud the
Assanpink creek, running through the
city, overflowed many business cellars
and destroyed considerable property
The Trenton Milling Company, the
Eagle Anvil Works and many other
concerns whose properties are along the
river front were compelled to suspend
business on Monday. The most import
ant damage was in the lower part of
Trenton, where the Pennsylvania Rail-
road is preparing its new moorings for
the new bridge across and its elevated
track on both sides. The washouts and
other distinctions to this preliminary
engineering plan will delay the con-
struction at least three months.
On Monday traffic was delayed on the
Amboy Division as we'll as the New
Division. The washouts and submerg-
ings throughout the entire railroad dis
trict will cost nearly a million dollars

Santa Claus at the Eden Musee.

One OF the most elaborate wax groups
ever made was placed on exhibition at
the Eden Musee, New York last week.
1t occupies one side of the large central
hall and consists Of nearly one hundred
figures. 1t is called Santa Claus in
Distress" and is a charming reminder of
the holiday season. In this group Santa
Claus, while driving over the Polar noun
tains with his reindeers, meets with an
accident which upturns his sleigh load
of presents for New York children. An
army of little Brownies have pounced
upon him and are stealing his presents.
Santa Claus is weeping but the Brownies
are having good time and cutting all
sorts of antics. There are enough pres
ents to fill good sized tree and the
Brownies will get them all. In addition
to this group there will be many holiday
attractions at the Musee. In the winter
garden a new series of moving pictures
will be shown hourly. One series rep
resents in tableaux "Cbristmas Scenes
in Ye Olden Times" The afternoon
and evening concerts will be made up of
Christmas carols and anthems in addi-
ton to classical music.

Strong Argument for Vaccinati on

Death at Sayreville.

Jacob Sbafnecker, who was one of the
first men at Miller's corner, pear Sayre-
vile, to be attacked with smallpox, died
at his bome at O'Clock Tuesday morn
ing. DIR. Selover, who had attended
Shafnecker during his illness, stated that
his death was due to exposure and not to
smallpox, as his condition from the dis
ease was not critical at any time.
1t appears that after Sbafnecker was
attacked he went out of doors several
times and it is also claimed that he has
been out of doors since he was Gonzales
cent, During the last two days his con-
dition had grown critical. He was "a
years old and married. His case has
been pitiabe one throughout. A week
ago his wife gave birth to child and
there was no one willing to go into the
house to attend her.
The body of Shafnecker was buried by
direction of the Board OF Health of
Sayrevllle.
The announcement of the death of Shat
necker created much excitement in
Sayreville, until it was learned that the
attending physician said it was due to
exposure.

Jamesburg's Hopes are Rising.

1t is said our town is likely to have an
other and very big industry located here
in the new year. Our principal men are
now arranging the details as to what they
and the town will do or can offer. The
industry needs certain advantages which
our town possesses over other places. and
it is likely to come anyhow. though our
merchants are meeting their proposals in
generous spirit. The concern is likely
to bring at least 200 employees at once.
and build large factory. We can't say
good thing for our Christmas stocking.
