GIANT SNOW MUsHROoMs.

Vaughan Cornish. F. r. G. s.. who
has recently made journey across
Canada and British Columbia to study
there the surface forms of snow, de-
scribes 4 in Pearson's Magazine. the
great snow mushrooms that he dis
covered in the upper valleys Of the
Selkirk mountains. Mushrooms of
great variety in shape and size, he
says, are produced by the large flakes
OF sticky snow falling on the fiat tops
Of tree stumps. Some of the mush-
rooms have long stems-I noticed one
on tree trunk % feet in height-oth-
ing above the snow on the ground.
Mushrooms on short stalks always
have hollows beneath them-into
which . may easily fall-for their
caps shelter the ground beneath from
its proper share of snow. The mush-
room that formed on the 25-foot trunk
measured IL feet 6 inches In diameter.
The diameter OF the tree itself at the
top was but four feet. so that the snow
projected beyond the trunk for four
feet three inches. Its depth was about
the same as the depth OF snow on the
ground-some Ave feet. On short
tree trunk. having diameter Of two
feet. the snow cap measured nine feet
across and four feet in thickness. In
years OF exceptionally heavy snowfall,
such as that Of 1899. mushroom caps
Weighing as much as two tons would
be found upon the largest stumps.-

Were l TO withdraw my opposition TO the bill for

it is doubly sad. Mr.. Scott had

Ing or word OF farewell. His
aged wife is prostrated with grief.
Mr.. Scott was about eighty years
of age. He came here from Mis-
souri, some four years ago, Besides
his wife he leaves FIVE daughters,

their sudden bereavement.

Republicanlsm

William Mckinley once gave a def
inition OF the republican party. He
said: you do not have to guess what
the republican party will do. The
whole world Knows its purposes. 1t has
embodied them in law and executed
them in administration" For more
than fifty years it has been the party
OF sturdy American principles, pro-
grcssive and conservative, accomplish
ing what it advocates and advocating
what best represents the ideals OF the
most progressive people of the whole
world. One characteristic of the par
ty is that IL Is never influenced by hys-
terical impulses, bit resists that ten

stands it in the assault OF its oppo-
nents

COUNTY PLATFORM.

The republicans of Graham county,
in convention assembled, pause on the
threshold of their proceedings to pro-
foundly deplore the tragic death OF
William Mckinley, whose memory
they cherish as sacred heritage that
is forever enshrined in the hearts OF
his countrymen.
He died like a christian gentleman
and we thank him for the lesson he
has taught.
We here take occasion to s:renuously
denounce all anarchists
"Who are neither men nor women;
"They are ghouls.
We most cheerfully endorse the ad-
ministration OF President Roosevelt,
and we recognize in him)a true friend
of the west by his earnest support Of
such measures as>r>e reclamation oi
the arid lands and the construction
OF the isthmian canal.
We believe that the future progress
and prosperity of Arizona depend upon
the conservation of its water resOur-
ces and the preservation OF its forests
We therefore favor an adequate ap.
preparation 10 be made by the next
legislature to be used in corporation
Will SO'Si w hHN
purpose of selecting suitable sites fol
storage reservoirs and dams.
We favor the establishment OF al
agricultural college for Arizona, ant
we instruct our legislative candidates
to employ all fair and honorable mean;
to have the same located in Graham
county.
We emphatically condemn all in
trigues and conspiracies meant to OBJ
struct the functions of our courts, anC
to aid the guilty to escape the conse
auences of their crimes, thereby caus
ing great expense to the county, u
we'll as its dishonor.
All of our officers should act in har
mony, and should give mutual aid anC
support to one another in all matter
affecting the county polity. A public
office is q public trust to be exercised
for the benefit of the whole commu
nifty aud not for a political party.
We believe in the gospel of goot

No Tariff Tinkering.

President Roosevelt's Cincinnati
speech is regarded as fair enuncia-
tion of the principles upon which the
republican congressional campaign
will be conducted. The trusts cannot
be regulated by changing tariff sched-
ules. They can be regulated by con-
stitutional amendment, by publicity
and by congressional legislation. The
tariff can be revised il found to foster
any monopoly, but the turmoil OF a
general revision would harm business
men and wage-earners. The alterna-
tive way OF revising the tariff is by
the plan OF reciprocities with other
countries.
