Owing to the recent storms and
melting snow, the roads through
out this entire section are in bad
condition, while in some places
they are badly washed out and al
most impossible. As a result, a
large amount of road work will, of
necessity, have to be done by the
several road districts the coming

New and Then .

A comparison Of the roll of cities
now with that at the time of our first
census in 1870, discloses some strange
mutations of fortune. In 1870 the
fourth city in the United States was
Charleston, in South Carolina, now
the sixty.eighth. The seventh was
Salem, Massachusetts,, now the one
hundred and tenth. There were only
six cities of over 5000 inhabitants;
not even a village west of the Allie
ghanies had a place on the census roll,
and even in the east there was no
Jersey City, Newark or Washington.

No catastrophe that has happened
in recent years on this coast has cast
such a black cloud of desolation over
the State of Cali fornia, and thrown
its dark shadow to adjoining States, as
that which occurred near the Golden
Gate on Friday last, in the sinking of
the steamer City of Rio Janeiro. When
the great ship ran on the merciless
rock and stove a hole in her bottom
that sent her to a watery grave, she
took with her one hundred and thirty
three precious lives that went cut like
the sniff Of a candle. Captain Ward
of the i'll. fatod vessel, anxious to
shorten as much as possible the three
days time the steamer was overdue,
took the chances, after consulting Pr
lot Jordan, by pushing the steamers
nose into a dense fog bank to save a
few paltry dollars to the steamers own.
,ers, at the expense of a hundred lives
and q million and a half in property.
But the captains ambition cost him
his life, and we will not criticise. The
lesson, however has its awful moral. =

Death of "Uncle Jim. "

While NIT. Wallace and his companion were riding in a bug gy the team became frightened and ran away throwing the com panion of MT, Wallace out of the buggy and afterward himself. MT. Wallace being the teamster when he was thrown from the yehicls caught in the lines and was drug until he lost concious- ness which he never regained.
 The people of St. Johns were sorrewfully surprised to hear of the death of Jim Wallace. MT. Wallace was long a respectable and well liked resident of St. Johns. He spent several years of his life editing the HERALD and during his career in this line he gained a reputation of high esteem with the citizens of this county. We are sorry 10 learn of the death of Uncle Jim" It came to our ears an unexpected blast that shockcd the whole con1muni- ty.But we have nothing but words of praise for MT. Wallace. For kindness and charity he had few equals. He spent 6s long years upon this earth of hard labor and now he passes to the great beyond where peace aud rest pre- vails. He leaves behind no earthly treasures but far better he leaves a reputation that will live for many years and be a credit 70 him.

NO MORE SELF-MADE MEN.
At Least They Must Conceal the Fact If They Are, and Claim
 Hhxk Descent.

From the highest home to the lowegt in America this idea of caste has en- tered, destroying our old, high ideals and making us pretentious and vulgar. writes "An American Mother" of How We Can Lead Simple Life," in
 Ladies' Home Journal. ''The idle rich man covets high social place with a hunger that is both ridiculous and tragic. If he has money enough he buys a titled husband for his daughter. He tries to establish a precedence for himself over his neighbors by claims of high descent. Nor is this apprecia- ton of rank confined to the leisured class in this country. It is universal
 No candidate for office finds it neces- sary now to pose as self-made man or to put his respectable ancestors out of sight. The self-made man is no longer noble ancestors are in such demand that if We do not have them we invent them as we do air brakes or motors. or the popular hero. On the contrary, anything else necessary to our well being and comfort. The rich American finds it as easy to have coat-of-arms and pedigree as to have dress-coat. He seldom goes to Burke or the Her aids college for these things. He plants and grows his own family tree as he does his maple at the front door"

4 Neu Variable stnr.

Mime. Ceraski, of Moscow, has discov- cred in the constellation Cygnus a star of between the eighth and ninth mag nitude which undergoes wonderful va riations in its light. It belongs to the same type of valuable stars as the cele- brated Algol, but its variation is larger. Its period is four days, 13 hours and 4s minutes. When at a minimum it is three magnitudes fainter than when at a maximum; in other words, it period ically loses and then regains so much light that at one time it is 16 times brighter than at another. In stars of this type the changes of light are sup posed to be caused by dark body re- volving around the star and producing eclipses as it comes within our line of sight.-Youth's Companion.

Arizona.

Let Us annex Arizona. Under the decisions of the Supreme Court ii appears to be uncertain whether territory is or Is not an integral part of the United States. This question as to Arizona can be settled by admitting this pro- gressiye and productive territory into the Union as State.
 We-are for Arizona Statehood first, last and all the time. There is no valid reason against Arizona admission. Arizora has sufficient population, ample present resour- ces and grand future.
 The Pacific Coast in general, and Southern California i'll par ticular, has every reason to help Arizona to responsibilities and duties of Statehood.
 The Pacific Coast is weak i'll Congress aud especially weak in the Senate. We have six sena- tors to represent the Pacific sea board, as against thirty on the Atlantic Coast ard eight on the
 
 Gulf of Mexico, or ten counting Florida in both groups. The portion of our country precn1i- nently open to phenomenal grow tn under irrigation is also weak and unappreciated. Arizona will understand, Sy1npathize and pro- mote every interest in Southern California and on the Pacific Coast, and turnout the arid sec ton. The growth and strength of Arizona is the growth and strength of Southern California. We are for Arizona's starof State hood and so are our people. Great State, grand scenery, large natural wealth. glorious future. for the state of Arizona! Saturday Poast, Los Angeles.

PRESIDENT RoosEvELT's first message to Congress was com . pleted this week and read to the Cabinet, which was unanious Tn in approving it. The wording of the message will not, of course
 be made public until it goes to Congress, but there is high authority for saying that upon the general question of reciproci- ty treaties President Roosevelt stands where the late James G. Blaine and the late President Nc Kinley stood--he favors any re- ciprocity that will widen our foreign markets without injuring our home industries or reducing either the pay or the employment of American workingmen. Sen- ator Foraker, just after a confer ence with President Roosevelt, stated the case in a nutshell when he said: We must have no re- ciprocity at the expense of pro- teotion." That is the republican fling.

UNCLE SAM naturally feels his oats" little when he reads an editorial in a London paper ad- vising the British and other European governments to pledge themselves not to infringe on the Monroe doctrine. We could and would make any country that in- fringe upon that doctrine regret 1t, but that would not prevent our appreciation of voluntary pledges not to infringe upon 1t.
