FRIDAY. FEBRUARY Is, 1901.

IT is reported that since the ac
cession of Edward VII to the
throne of England, an envoy
extraordinary will be sent at once
to the South African republics to
negotiate terms of peace. An act
of this kind was not unexpected,
as it was we'll understood that he,
when Prince of Wales, disapproved
of many things being done by Eng
land in the Transvaal. He fully
understood the true inwardness OF
the whole trouble in that country,
and knew that it grew out of the
avariciousness of the English own
ers of the gold mines in those
countries; and in taking steps to
bring about condition of peace,
be is doing an act that all liberty
loving people tho world over VIII
heartily approve and applaud. By
their valor and determined resist
encs to the overthrow of their
country, and the subversion OF
their government, the South Atri-
cans have won the admiration OF
the world; and strong sympathy
for them exists in all the civilized
countries. 1t is to be hoped that
the report is..true, and that peace
may be established between the
Brittons and the Beers that may
be Just and honorable to both.

TIM Bulletin last fall took the
right position in regard to county
division, when it insisted in two
Of its issues that the question ought
TO be, land it would like to see it)
submitted TO vote Of tho people
of the county. This was not only
right as principle Of right, but
was in direct line with the platform
of the national democratic party
adopted at Kansas City, in which
it was laid down as cardinal
principle of the democratic party
that: 1--WE favor direct legislation
wherever the same is practical"
Its position was also in direct line
with the platform of the territorial
democratic party, the platform up
on which Mark Smith, notwith-
standing the efforts of some parts
of Graham county to defeat him,
was elected to congress, and which
indorsed in broad and plain terms
the referendum. Not only was
this position of the Bulletin right
when viewed from party stand
point, but it is right in principle.
The question of county division is
one that effects every citizen and
taxpayer of the county, and each
should have the right and oppor-
tunity to express his wishes in re-
gard to it at the ballot box. There
is no great probability of legisla-
tion in regard to county division
at this term of the legislature; but
if there should be it ought to be in |
line with the doctrines of the ma
tional and territorial democratic
platforms, in both of which that
great, basic principle of a pure re-
public, the referendum, is heartily
endorsed. In later issues of the
Bulletin il seems to have departed
from its position of last fall to
some extent, but it can congratu-
late itself upon the fact that at one
time At least it took a position
purely democratic.

such fragment, l glanced over it.

description pictured itself in my mind.
Then suddenly. as the recognizing of

PASSING OF THE CACTUS.
Irrigation of the Plains of Arizona
Fatal to tho Plant.

Irrigation of the Plains of Arizona
Fatal to tho Plant.
The bringing of water to the arid
wastes of Arizona and the consequent
evolution from desert to garden is
causing the extinction of one of the
strangest plants in the world, says the
New York Sun. At recent session of
the territorial legislature. the cereus
giganteus. the great cactus, better
known as the saguara, and peculiar to
the soil of this territory, was made
the official flower of Arizona. Not
many years will elapse before new
choice will be necessary.
When the first Franciscan Fathers
journeyed north from Mexico into Ari-
zona they carried back reports OF the
great cactus which covered the plains
of the new country, and told about Its
food value to the Indians Now. az
the art of the American has reclaimed,
foot by foot. the former desert, and
the magic water has made orange
peach and apricot orchards and great
fields of alfalfa. the saguara has been
driven out, and only in spots where
water cannot be placed can the odd
plant be found.
On the rocky, gravelly mesas, tho
saguaras, the largest of the cactus
family point their candelabrum-like
arms straight toward the sky, not in
frequently attaining n height of sixty
feet. The body of the saguara. some
times two feet in thickness. is COM
posed of thin pieces of porous wood,
FRA god IN tho form Df COrinthian
column, covered and held together by
the outside fibre of a pale green.
At some distance from the ground
large branches put out. while tho
whole surface is covered with sharp.
prickly thorns. A large. white. some
times purple blossom comes forth
early in the spring and ripens into q
pear-shaped fruit by the last of June.
This fruit. the petahaya. tastes like
a mixture OF raspberry and fig. and Is
highly priced by both Indians and
Mexicans. Part of the fruit is eaten
while ripe, and the rest is dried in tho
sun or boiled down to a jam.
Until the advent of the missionaries
to the Papago Indian tribe, some TWEEN
ty years ago. the gathering of the sa-
guara was the occasion of the greatest
orgy of the year. From the fruit
highly Intoxicating beverage was
made. With this the Indians drank
| themselves into state of frenzied in
| toxication. During the feasts a num-
ber of the braves were frequently
killed.
The saguara is short-lived. although
tradition has given 1t an age measured
by centuries. and usually begins to
decay at the base before attaining its
growth. Moisture is fatal to 1t. and as
soon as 1t receives constant supply
| of water, decay is rapid.

Crime. Confessed During s,eep.

Criminologists say that the greatest
terror that afiiicts the criminal Is sleep
An untold number of crimes have been
confessed by their perpetrators during
sleep.
Many years ago n common lodging
house was the scene of a sleeping GRIM
inals confession. The room was occu-
pied by himself and one other a young
sailor. While the sailor was lying
awake he suddenly heard a curious and
CHASTITY laugh issue from his room
companions lips. The laugh was fol-
lowed by a long and rambling descrip-
ton of a murder he had committed.
horrible in its details. The sailor
crept downstairs and informed the
landlord of what had occurred. The
latter at once summoned policeman.
who recognized the sleeper as the man
wanted for the crime in question. At
the trial which followed he was found
guilty and sentenced to death.
In Prussia the husband of a certain
attractive young woman had vanished
in a mysterious manner from his home
and all attempts to trace his where
abouts failed completely. Meantime a
devoted to the young wife before her
marriage, reappeared on the scene and
paid her assiduous attentions. So sue
cessfully did he press his suit that
within n year of his rivals disappear
ance the woman consented to marry
him, and they were united at the par
ish church.
On the second night following tho
wedding the newly made bride lay
awake, unable to slumber. Presently
there came gurgling cry from tho
sleeping form beside her, and mo-
ment later the man leaped from his
bed and in loud voice proclaimed
that he had killed the missing husband
and had buried the body in nelghbor-
ing wood.
The wife drank in the confession,
and in the morning carried the story
to the police bureau. The place named
by the sleeper was searched and, suro
enough. the body of the vanished man
discovered there.

Photographing Snow scenes.

Many amateur photographers, 1t
may be expected, will endeavor to Sc
cure snow scenes at this season of the
year, and it may save them disappoint-
ment and loss of material to know be-
fore hand that their principal source
of failure would be over-exposure.
Snow scenes are more difficult to rem
der than any other branch of the art,
not excepting portraits. In the latter,
underexposure is most common, but
over-exposure Is almost always pres
ent in the snow pictures sent to us.
The light that is reflected from the
snow Is underestimated, and a stop
half the size that would be used in
ordinary circumstances will be about
right. The point of view should be
chosen SO as to bring some dark OBJ
ject in the foreground, and II the snow
lies smooth 1t should be broken up by
footprints or mounds before exposing
so as to give some light and shade to
what would otherwise be fiat, unin-
teresting picture.

G. o. Shields, president of the
