ARIZONA FAR MS
The Census Bureau Tells About the Territory 5
 Agricultural Development.

The statistics on farms and farming which were collected for the last cen sus are finally being given to the pub lie. The first series of bulletins ou farm areas, values and products were issued by director Merriam short time ago. They contain much valua- ble data on the territory, which no doubt will be of interest to the peo- pie of this section.
 According to the report there are 5,SO0 farms in Arizona, covering ,935, 237 acres. Of this vast acreage but 254. .52l acres are improved. The total value of land, improvements and live stock is placed at $29, ,9O6,S77 which, by the way, means an increase of l6l.9 per cent in the past ten years. The value of the live stock alone is estima- ted at $l5, ,45S,7l7 or 51.7 per cent of the whole. The crops for the year 1899 were worth $2, 47S, 29S, and the valua- tion of farm products, including ami malS, IS placed at S6, ,967 ,079.
 The Arizona report devotes consid- erable space to the subject of irriga- uon. The territory has made some rapid strides in this line during the last ten years. The reclamation of thousands of acres of arid lands and the successful culture of forage, cer- calls, vegetables, fruits and other crops can be laid directly to our study of the irrigation problem. In the space of ten years 545 miles of canals and ditches have been constructed in the territory at a cost of Sl, LOS, ,465.
 In 1890 there were but 65, ,S2l acres of land, outside of reservations, under cultivation in A riZOna. In 1900 there were 1855, 396 acres under irrigation, or an increase of 119,575 acres in ten years. The bulletin estimates the value of each irrigated acre at $50, | which would indicate total value of | $3,5S9, 250 for all land under irrigation. | There are 4,2l0 out of 5,S00 farms in | Arizona being irrigated.

President Mitchell is receiving con. gratulationS on all sides because of the conservatism he displayed and the good advice he gave at the miners conference at Indianapolis. He ad- vlsed against general strike to in- clude the soft coal miners, because such step would involve the break ing of cOntracts-a d proceeding which, he said, could not but reflect diSas- trously upon the whole body of min CTS. Mir. Mitchell also declared that sympathetic strikes always failed, and for these reasons he limited his de- mandS upon the miners at work to q substantial money assessment for the benefit of those on strike. This levy IS expected to produce about $250,0O0 a week-a large sum, but only half the amount needed to support the idle men.-Public Opinion.

Poisoning the System,

It is through the bowels that the body IS cleansed of impurities. Constipation keeps these poisons in the system, caus- ing headache, dullness and melancholia at first, then unslghtly eruptions and finally serious illness unless a remedy is applied. DeWitt's Little Early Ris- CTS prevent this trouble by stimulating the liver and promote easy, healthy ac- ton of the bowels. These little pills do not act violently but by strengthen ing the bowels enable them to perform their own work. Never gripe or distress. Globe Drug Store, Roberts X Peterson.

Where the Line Must Be Drawn.

If these monopOliSts keep on, said the alarmist, ''they will own every thing"
 No they won 't.n answered MT. Di. OgeneS DiggS, with the complacency which always comes over him when he has something disagreeable to cOmmu- ncate they'll always allow us little ambitious fellows to own enough to provide the assessor a basis for a tax levy. w Washington Star.

To Remove SnnerfuOns Hair

Electricity is said to be the very best
agent for the removal of surperfiuous
hair, but the process is long, expensive
and troublesome when treatment OF
the arms is desired. as every hair must
be killed" separately.
However. there are simple remedies
that one may apply oneself, say the
druggists. One of these is a plaster
stick depilatory, made of pitch and
rosin. 1t tears the hair out by the
roots. and although the growth may
return. it is said that an application
to each renewed growth will eventually
kill the roots. so that the trouble dis
appears Those who have tried it say
that the remedy is not as heroic as il
appears, the plaster softening the hairs
and opening the pores of the skin, SO
that the growth is easily pulled out.
The trifing irritation sometimes pro
duced is quickly allayed by the appli-
cation of cold cream or almond oil.

There was an interesting discussion
among the committeeman over bin Of
Thomas Rossiter for $3.50 for printing
election tickets in 1899. The Department
Of Elections, as then constituted, declined
TO approve the bill, and the present de-
partmcnt declined for the reason that ir
knew nothing about IT,
IL was urged by the Department Of
/ Elections that Rossiter bid for furnishing
$1,000 ballots for the city election and the
price was Sli9 for the lot There were
10 be- twelve changes in the tickets. but
Rossiter objected TO the way in which
the tickets were divided and charged the
department $3.50 for the work. When the
original bids were received one printer
bid S275 and another 1926 for the work.
The department. contends that there
was no extra work attached to the print
ing of the tickets.
