WANT THEIR MONEYS WORTH.
l have said the Swiss are rich. They
have plenty Of money to spend for
what they want, but they must have
their moneys worth. This our export
ers should consider In figuring upon the
trade Of the country. They should re-
member that they will have to sell bet
ter goods and cheaper goods than are
now In the market to get the trade, for
they will have to displace the goods
now used. They should send CONNER
clal travellers here. There are thou
sands Of drummers now on the Swiss
reads from Germany, Belgium and
England, but comparatively few from
the United States. Licenses are re-
quired for commercial travellers, and OF
$4,000 such recently issued none were
credited TO the United States. The
drummer should speak German or
French. but he can get along with
English. The railway fares are low and
hotels are cheap, so that good man
ought to be easily able 70 earn his sal

A LAND OF VINEYARDS.

In travelling from Geneva 10 Berne I
skirted the north side Of the lake CO.
ing through the rich orchards and vine-
yards which cover its shores. The land
is well titled, the farms are divided by
hedges and the hills are 80 terraced
with stone walls that every patch OF
them is used Every vineyard has a
sort Of doll house In It about the size
Of a large store box. This Is intended
for the men who guard the ripe grapes
from birds and other twoegged thieves.
As In France. the vines are tied to
stakes. Each vine has its own stake
and 1t Is trimmed down to stub every

THE THRIFTY SWISS.
The Swiss are among the thriftlest of
all the Caucassians. They believe in
making everything pay its own way,
and every man here has profession or
business. Just as in the United States.
There art but few millionaires, and very
few paupers, but many who have
money invested In stocks, bonds and
mortgages Indeed, millions of dollars
worth of American securities are held
by the Swiss, and steady stream of
foreign money pours into Switzerland

THE ASSESSORS OFFICE
Legislature Will B. Asked to Make
 Provision for This County.

In the report of tEc late grand jury upon the county offices it was suggest ed that the office of assessor needed more help for the proper assessment of the property of the county and it was pointed out that on account of the lack Of such help the assessor had to accept Vhe valuations made by his predecessor and that in the course of time by such an arrangement there would cease U Eo any relation between the real value Of property and it's valuation for tax able purposes. It has been supposed by some that that suggestion of the grand jury was a reflection upon the board of supervisors for not allowing the assessor all the assistance he re quired in his work. This is not what was meant by the report. As a matter Cf fact the office has always been al- lowed all the help needed in the office for clerical work.
 IL is the law of the territory that is 2t fault The same provision is made for the assessment of the county that is made for the assessment of the smallest county in the territory. Be side the greater wealth of the county the class of property here requires more of the time of the assessor.
 It is likely that the next legislature will be asked to pass a law designed for the assessment of this county The law in California will be probably taken as the model. In that state each county is allowed as many actual as- sesscrs Us it has millions of valuation.

NOVEMBER WEATHER
The Present Beautiful Storm and
 Those of Other Years.

The storm Thursday continued all day yesterday making the second typi- cal rainy day known in these parts for years. It frequently rains hard here for a part of a day and is frequently sloppy and cloudy all day but fails to rain much. Yesterday and the day be- fore, though, were the kind of days they could be proud or even up in the sound" country.
 There was little rain in the early morning yesterday but in the middle of the forenoon it began again and there were occasional heavy rains all day. Though the precipitation was not so continuous as the day before the total probably equalcd it. There is little indication yet that the storm is over but there is no "kicking." u may rain just as long as it wants to. This valley can't have too much of a good thing.
 The storm makes timely compari- son of the November weather this year with that of past years. The figures given below were secured yesterday from the weather bureau office. Tn re- gard to rainfall it is learned that on no single November day since 1895 when the bureau was established here has the rain fall equaled that of yesterday and only in 1900 did the precipita ton or the whole month equal it. With yesterdays rain added, this November precipitation breaks the record Fol lowing are the ngures for the total rainfall Of the month: In 's5. .S9: in '96. .64; in '97. .OO: in '9S. l.O1: in '99. .55 in 1900. 1.73: in 1901. .O1. The rain fall from 5:3O Thursday morning to the same hour Friday morning vas 1.21 The nearest approach to so large a rain in November was on the 17th and 18th in 1900 when the fall was 1.O6. The next largest rain was on the 18th and 26th in 1898 when the fall was .95. In me matter of temperature for the first twenty days of November the fol- lowing figures were secured. as the mean for that part of the month, drop ping the fractions 1895. 59 degrees. 'S6 e degrees; '97, G1 degrees; '9S 61 degrees; go, 63 degrees; 1900, 65 de- grees;; 19C1. C. degrees; 1902. GA degrees.
 The normal mean temperature. taken by the bureau as a basis for estimates of departure, either excess or minus is for the month of November 59 degrees. II will be noted that in every year since 1895 the departure has been an cx-
 
 cess showing that the mean normal is really higher than the bureau now works from or credits the valley with. This normal of course was determined years ago from records then available and will no doubt be revised by later figures thus making our Novean Der climate warmer on the average than ! it is now credited with being.
 Returning again to the present storm it wGs reported here yesterday that the snow fall in Prescott had aggregated fifteen inches and in Flagstaff two feet It showed as far south as Kirk land, perhaps farther. A big rain was reported from the Globe country day before yesterday and there is no doubt but that the storm is general ell over Arizona. There was good head or water going over the Arizona dam yes terday but at last report there had been no raise in the river at Tempe.

Governor Brodie returned to the city yesterday morning from his tour of the southern part of the territory with the senate subcommittee on territories. While no member of the committee gave an expression that might indicate what the report of the committee will be the governor is hopeful that the ad- mission of Arizona will be recommend ed. It is certain that the members of the committee were pleasantly sur prised by what they saw here Their journey through the territory from the time they left the Santa Fe Pacific road on the north until they left Bis bee was a succession of surprises.

Where Prosperity Halls From.

Those cheerful philosophers who feel % sure that prosperity is going to con ti1uc because the prices Of stocks are SO well maintained in Wall street will do well to look a little farther than the lower end Of Manhattan island when taking their observations.
 It is a fact which many persons seem to forget that all the material wealth comes out of the ground The pathetic stories from the large cities cCnnectc1 with the fresh air aids have told more than once or little children who had never seen green grass and who had no idea of the open country until given these outings. There are 6rown-UP people of abundant wealth who are equally ignorant of what the country is in it's relation to general business interests. They assume that when stocks go up ten points the coun- try is richer thereby and that when q great syndicate takes $50. COG coo worth O.: property and Capitalizes it at S500,- 0OO,OOO this paper performance has created S45OO0O.OOO Of new wealth.
 They buy and sell and go speculating through life o1 this sort of assumption and do not stop to think that it is only as the iron and coal are dug up and as the sunshine and the rain bring the grain to the harvest that anything is added to what already is. If we should find at the end of the season that the early droughts and the later floods that have been so prevalent have resulted in a serious crippling of the crops. if investigation demonstrates that We have consumed more than we have produced, then no amount of booming can keep prices up. As yet it is early to determine as to this We have an immense agricultural territory and the flood destroying everything in one valley may bring needed moisture to thousands of square miles of other fields and prove vastly more beneficial than injurious. It is the destructive flood we hear of rather than the fructi- lying showers.
 But meanwhile it is well to bear in mind that while spectators can grow
