LABOR.

Labor day brings out a strong Ameri-
can element which is in refreshing con-
trast with the dominant labor of the
group. Without 1t we should he at the
mercy of the Orientals; with it we have
a dependable working class which may
be trusted, withal. to guard the ark of
the American covenant in these islands.
To increase the numbers of those who
celebrate this day is one of the highest
duties OF our craftsmanship. Hawaii
needs all the white skilled labor ii can
support and ought to support all II gets.
The Advertiser, though believing that
the American citizen Is not fit TO be-
come a peasant of the cane fields and
that the hewing OF wood and the draw
Ing of water Is the function of a servile
class, believes with equal tenacity that,
in the skilled trades and mechanic arts,
the American should have the right of

torney Baird has taken a new tack in
the matter of trying cases brought by
sailors against ships officers. After
hearing what the complainants had to
say in the John Lund case he made up
his mind that conviction would be i'm
possible and moved the discharge of
the accused mate. Col. Baird will be
safe in taking this course nine times
out Of ten in the walking delegate pros

experience with the sea-faring class and
having regard for the business of this

The most conspicuous haoles at the
Queens party and the ones most anx-
ious to stoop low and acquire the agile
bend of humility, were the professional
Americans who are engaged in teaching
patriotic habits to the old annexation
party here. Nothing delights one of
these gentry more than to crook the
back under the Royal standard and re-
ceive a condescending nod from the for
mer sovereign. Most of these profess
sional patriots would mortgage their
claim on the Fourth of July for cell
luloid decoration or a chance to carry
the Royal train.

1t does not follow, as a correspondent
thinks, because some of the mates late
ly arraigned on charges of brutality
pleaded guilty, that the charges were
true. The men found 1t more profitable
to plead guilty than to wait and stand
trial. So far as witnesses were con-
cerned the cards were stacked against
the mates and they concluded that 1t
would take too much time to fight.

ful places. They are so well satisfied that their places are not for sale. They have conquered the wilderness, and the rose and honeysuckle now give forth their sweet perfume where only a few years ago nothing but thorny mesquite and cacti could be seen in the land They are satisfied because they have pleasant homes, live well and have made a success in life. This Is accounted for by the fact that they have the best market in all the west at their depot in Duncan. They do not supply Clifton and Morenci with a tenth part of the stuff consumed in those camps, neither will they ever be able to supply them in full, for the camps arepermanent and growing much faster than the produce is increasing. Alfalfa is worth SIP per ton in Duncan, corn Sl.SO and barley sl 10 per 100 pounds. These are much better prices than can be obtained in any other sec tion of either the Gila or Salt River valleys for the reason that all other sec tions of the productive portions of the valleys are situated much further from l the markets. Of course the farmer al ways pays the freight, and the shorter the haul the more there is in it for him.
 Wheat is only grown to limited ex- tent, but is said to be superior ln quality to that grown in any other portion of Arizona One of the great needs of the valley is flour mill. At the present time train loads of flour are annually received in Clifton from Col orado When this flour is produced in the valley the farmer there will pock- ct the difference in the freight, which will be no small profit in addition to that made by the Colorado farmer. All kinds of vegetables do well, but are not grown to any considerable eX- tent. One wonders why some of the up-to-date market gardeners who are scarcely able to live in other sections, do not locate at Duncan and make speciality of vegetables. Ten acres oi land would be enough, and by rota- tion Of crops Tn the same season TOT tune could be reaped from small patch of ground every year.
 The soil is from ten to twenty feet in depth, and of a rich chocolate brown. The waters of the Gila act as a fertilizer. especially during the flood season, when they carry vast amount of decomposed vegetable and mineral matters in solution which is spread out over the surface of the farms, and with every irrigation renewing the strength of the soil.
 Duncan presents the finest field fol

 United States. The alfalfa furnishe:

 Eggs are never less than 20 cents pe'
 dozen, and during the winter months find ready market at from p to 3'
 cents. Chickens for table use are spot cash at S6 per dozen, and turkeys arc worth from & to S2.50 each. c. NJ Hill always keeps few hundre' chickens and turkeys, and says the, ' are but little trouble, and pay bette than anything else on the farm.

THE DUNCAN COUNTRY.

No more favored situation for az riculture can be found in all the fair land of Arizona, than the country in the immediate locality of Duncan. The town Is situated in the fertile val rev uf the yrr.s-, avouV rnio-way pe- tween Lordsb0rg and Clifton. With the finest soil and climate on earth, with an everlasting supply Of pure water. and with the best local market in all the west, there is no telling what the future has in store for this favored section of the far-famed Gila Valley.
 The settlement along the valley ex- tends for probably fifteen miles. There are, perhaps, about two tn ousand peo- pie residing in the valley, though many of them are not engaged in the pursuit of agriculture, but graze their herds of well-graded cattle on the mountains which enclose the valley on all sides. There are about l6, ,000 acres in cultivation in the valley at the pres ent time, but this is only promise of the future.
 Time was when it was thought that only the first valley would ever be cul- tivated, but about three years ago a colony of Mormons settled there, and they are very wizards with water. It was not strong colony, and its mem- bers were not blessed with good teams nor an abundance of means, but what proved to be of far greater importance, they knew the science of irrigation. They went to work and laid out a new irrigating ditch on the west side of the river. They commenced further up than the source of the old ditch, and brought the water out on the second bottom. Then they went to work and built modest homes and good fences and planted their crops. Fortune was wooed by toll, aud the colony prospered and to-day contains between fifty and sixty families, and more are constantly
