REPORTERS RAVINGS.

"The opposition to divide Yavapai county has brought out an unfriendly sentiment to the United Verde com pany from certain quarters not com patible with previous expressions of good will and appreciation" ."-Jerome Reporter. The Journal-Miner has not noticed anything of an unfriendly sentiment toward the United Verde company brought out by county divi- sion, further than it affects the latter question. The people of Yavapai county are as friendly to the company as a great industrial institution as they ever were. They are not friendly to any proposition of the company, however, which tends to make it the dominant power in politics and in public questions affecting the inter est of the community. So long as the company confines itself to it's own legitimate business, nothing but a friendly sentiment will be expressed towards it.
 In the same article the Reporter makes another notoriously false as- sertion by saying:
 "This method of attack has been carried to the extent of accusing cer- tain members of the legislature of ac- cepting bribes, and threatening others with political ruin and blackened reputation if they give the measure that honest consideration its impor- tance demands"
 The Reporter cannot point to sin gle accusation of any member having been bribed. In as much as the bill for the creation of Clark county has not yet been introduced, man could not we'll demonstrate that he has been bribed, hence, such an accusa- ton could not be made. It seems as though this Clark county business is making the Reporter editor sort of flighty in his head.

COMET GRoTTo AND GRILL RooM.
A New, Up to Date Refreshment h. stitution for Prescott to
 Open Soon.

Messrs. Vanderbelt & Sullivan will open their new Comet Grotto and Grill Rooms in the basement of the Lawler block on Saturday, February Is. Nothing like this institution has ever been attempted in Prescott be- fore, for the refreshment of the inner man.
 The main hall which extends the entire length of the building is com mOdious, we'll lighted and heated and will be supplied with tables where re- treatments, both liquid and solid will be served. In connection with this there will be a lunch counter, from which all kinds of imported and do- nestle cheese, and all kinds of fish will be served. In the rear of this room, but screened from it, will be dining room with eight tables capable of accommodating thirty persons at the same time. Three private club rooms are also provided in connec- tion with this main hall
 The bar is a massive and handsome affair, the finest ever brought to Pres eott, and the other fixtures and fur nishings are in keeping with it, all of them being furnished by the Bruns- wick-Balke company.
 The culinary department is entirely separate from the saloon part, and will be under the management of Victor Benoit. an experienced chef, formerly of Hotel Brewster, San Diego, and of Coronado Beach hotel. The kitchen is marvel in itself, being fitted up in splendid style, with a large range, broiler, etc, and every thing complete for quick service.
 There are three private dining rooms, two of them being suited for small parties and the other regular banquet room capable of accommo- dating a large party. Mir. Benoit proposes to have this branch of the institution always stocked with the choicest and best articles of food that can be procured, while the prices will be reasonable and within the reach of all, making it possible for one to get a good, well cooked meal at the ordniary price charged elsewhere, with the ad- itional advantage of procuring one more elaborate but at a reasonable price.
 As stated, this magnificent place will be thrown open to the public on Saturday, although it will be lighted up and open for inspection of all who wish to see it on Fridry evening.

A. Borders has sold his undertaking business to s. A. Logan and will leave in few days for Albuquerque, N. M., where he will make his future home and engage in the undertaking busi- ness. During the few months Mir. Borders and family have lived in Pres colt they have made host of friends, and in a business capacity he has demonstrated that he was thoroughly up to date in his profession and a most genial, capable and painstaking gentleman, and in all his work gave the best of satisfaction. He leaves Prescott because he believes there is not enough business in that line for two firms. He will take his fine new funeral car and ambulance wagon with him. The Journal Miner, in common with all who have had the pleasure of meeting and knowing Mir. Borders and his estimable family, re- grets to lose them from our midst, but wishes them health and prosperity in their new home.

one way or the other the Courier

been brought up to one of the

given as good as any place in the

We erred only in not letting Bro.
Abbott-the man who admits he

to consult him and hereby offer
an apology for not SO doing. 1t
is too bad that Bro. Abbott's s
ambition could not have been
realized. He would have made a
fine postmaster and then we
would have daily mail twice a
day with special delivery thrown
in.

Story ofa Slave.

10 be bound hand and foot for
years by the chains of disease is the
worst form of slavery. George D,
Williams, of Manchester, Mich, tells
how such slave was made free. He
says: ''My wife has been SO helpless
for five years that she could not turn
over in bed alone. After using two
bottles of Electric Bitters, she is
wonderfully improved and able to do
her own work" This supreme remedy
for female diseases quickly cures
nervousness, sleeplessness, melan-
choly, headache, hackache, faintins
and dizzy spells. This miracle work
ing medicine is a godsend to weak,
sickly, run down people. Every bot
tie guaranteed. Only Soc. Sold by

Senate Bill No. 3.

II the legislators have any
common sense, the bill taxing
peddlers will not pass. What
benefit will the state derive from
it? 1t is only in the short sum-
mer months that peddlers can
travel around the country. Not
to speak about what hardship
for the farmers, as that law will
them touch themsas much as the
peddler. The only man who
corld have any advantage Of the
bill would be the mechants. who
will be glad if it is passed, and
willingly would pay any of the
members of influence to work it
through. Any sensible man can
see through the whole affair, and
and it will be a disgrace for those
members taking active part to
pass any obnoxious law, only
benetiting the store keepers.
The farmers are certainly taxed
enough without putting more
heavy burdens upon their
shoulders.
ONE For SENSE.

manured and in low places, the
yield was far ahead of other por-
f;o,,c . ~ %h~ a.p1s A.,

!yleld was 1ar ahead OF other pOr-
tions of the field. Aud now as
to reasons for results I suppose
every farmer may run q little ex.
pertinent station Of his own and
when he finds out things that will
benefit the whole community, he
ought to tell of them. Dakota is
~ great land for the raising of all
kinds of root crops. and especi.
ally that of potatoes. These
things are generally know, but
to be successful during u year OF
general drouth is more than car
be expected in any country. 1t
will be noticed first of all that
there was a great difference as
to the yield in the kind of seed
planted, but the others also yield
ed large returns. The following
points may be worth consider.
ing: The summer fallow and
humus of decaying manure held
the moisture. The early drag.
ging served the same purpose.
The early planting gave the
vigorous grower time to get long
roots before the drouth. The
large pieces furnished the young
plants little cisterns to draw from
potates being two thirds water.
By the method of planting used,
the young plants neither had te
struggle up to sunlight and air
from a hard deep bed, nor were
they dried out by being too near
the surface. And lastly to cult.
vate when the soil is so dry or
top seems a waste of time and
energy, but it is said to bring uI
moisture from below.
H A. B.
As we are persuaded that the
Courier has at heart (f it has 8
heart) the good of the entire com
munity;; and as whoever helps
the farmer helps every one else
let others speak who have found
success in this OF any other line
of agriculture. For instance
who has found oats that yield
better than the White Russian;
Does fax exhaust the soil worse
than wheat? IF SO, what is best
to be done?
Yours very sincerely,
HENRY A. BEMIs
