It is duty which the govern ment owes, not only to the unfortunate victims, themselves, but to the general public, that all such cases receive early and efficient attention.

The Citizen is a splendid paper. COPPER ERA can't very well get along without it.

Mark A. Smith and Euge ne s. Ives have formed a co-partnership for the practice of law, and will have their office at Tucson. This will be one of the strongest legal firms in the terri tory, as both are pre-eminently able, and well known throughout Arizona. Mark Smith is the present d delegate to congress, position which he has so honorably and ably filled for six terms. Hon. Eugene s. Ives who represented Yuma in the last council and, was hon. ored by that body by being elected its president, is the junior member of that firm. Although prac- tically new conner in the territory, having been here only a few years, has taken a front rank in his profession, and is one of the most prominent dem- ocratic politicians in the territory. Like Mr. Smith, he is clean, able and energetic, consequently the firm is bound to do its full share of the legal business of the territory.

Eugene Caruthers, of Thatcher, Worth this week for the Clifton market. This item should be of par ticular interest to the farmers of the Gila valley. If Texas farmers can make a profit on their hogs and ship them alive to the Clifton market, why can't the Gila farmer make big moIey on alfalfa-fed hogs? Of course he can, for there is no better ''hog country" in the United States than the Gila valley, but our farmers have gotten into the rut of growing only alfalfa hay, and have paid little attention to general products The ERA remarked some weeks ago that the best thing which could happen to the lower Gila valley would be for hay to drop to 8 or S6 per ton, as the farmer would then di- versify, and would not depend on any one crop. The advanced tariff on farm products from the lower valley will have this effect. as it practically closes all markets except Clifton, which can not take all of their fodder product. They must now commence to fatten cattle and grow hogs and chickens. II they will do this within a year they will find that they will be independent of any railroad, and will be more pros- porous than they ever have been.

THE RABBIT IN TRADE.
skins Exported Annually from
Australia to Europe.

Rabbits are small things, but, like
microbes and measles, they play
havoc with men and things when
they get thick and spread over large
areas. They literally eat up things.
New South Wales, Australia, once had
nearly 100,O00,000 sheep. That col
ony now has less than 100000 900. The
droughts of the country have been
bad enough, but the rabbits have been
the worst pest which ever afflicted
the land of the New South Welshmen.
The area really devastated by bunny
is more than 100,000,O0O acres. In one
year there have been killed over 26.-
100000 rabbits, and their skins paid
for by the government under the
rabbit destruction act" Probably
twice as many died on the CRASHES
plains, by poison or from starvation
or thirst in their own warrens within
the fenced-in area or out upon the bare,
broad earth from which they ate
every vestige of grass or leaf which
fed them and the hapless sheep of
the western backplocks along the

ritory. London is opening frozen
rabbit market for the colonies. There
were imported into Great Britain last
year more than 4O,0OO,O00 pounds of
frozen rabbits and more than 100000
900 rabbit skins for fur and spin
users. This is some compensation,
but not enough for the loss of So
100000 sheep in one colony-fully
3O,0O0,0OO of the loss being due direct
" to the devastation of rabbits-and
the financial wreck of the banks of
the country in 1892 when financial in
situations closed their doors with la
bilities at more than SAC, 100000. The
Australian rabbit is becoming the
commercial competitor of the Aus
tralian sheep, both for the grass on
the ranch and for the consumptive
market of the frozen meat trade.

the other.-National Provisioner.

DEALING WITH CRIMES IN
CANADA.

From the Chicago-Times Herald on jan
uary 18th, 1901.
"The citizens of the Dominion of
Canada have just cause to be proud
of their record as law-abiding people.
The annual report of the criminal
statistics of the Dominion, which has
population of over 100000, shows
that there were only twenty-five in
dictments for murder in 1899, of
which only two were left without
final action. Eleven of those indicted
were hanged, nine acquitted and
three confined as insane.
Canada is country of vast proper
tions. Its people are scattered over
wide stretch of territory, making
police surveillance particularly diff
cult and in many districts impossi-
BILE. Yet a city like New York or
Chicago alone furnishes far greater
criminal list every year than the
whole vast stretch of territory from
Quebec to Vancouver.
THE Canadians ascribe their i'm
munity from crime to the prompt
hSoS WIN WINCH punishment 10
melted out to offenders. When a man
is caught red-handed in the act of
robbing another he is not released on
straw bail by some justice of the
peace from the slums, to go out and
repeat the offense. Sharp and sure
justice is meted out to criminals of
all kinds, the result being that when
the guardians of the public peace
succeed in bringing a thug to the bar
they are seldom called upon to hunt
him a second time.
Furthermore there are few court
delays in Canada when a criminal is
brought to book. They have no
Dreyer cases over there. There are
no methods whereby Canadian Grim
inals can have the proceedings stayed
from month to month and from year
to year or after being convicted, APP
peal from one court to another until
witnesses die of old age or opportun-
tiles for corruption can be found.
"Nor does this swift method of
treating with wrong-doers in Canada
leave the innocent unable to proper
ly defend themselves. They have all
the opportunities and privileges that
our own laws extend to them. The
extent to shield the guilty is lacking
that is ALL
The above taken from the editorial
column of the Times-Herald gives
some idea of the immunity from
crime that exists in Canada, and this
is one of the many inducements held
out for Americans to settle in the
district known as Western Canada.
The season of 1901 will see a few sec
tons of the country opened up for
settlement. They are attractive in
every respect. 1t is understood that
one of the best Indian Reserves in
the famous Valley of the Saskat-
chewan will be opened up this year,
! and an invitation is extended to those
| desiring homes to make inquiries.
The price of the land is said to be
nominal. Besides these lands, the
several railway companies have lands
to sell: also the Government. For
particulars write to the Agent of the
Government, whose advertisement
appears elsewhere.
