CELIA COUNTY LEADS IN POLIT-
 ICAL REFORM.

The Bisbee Review in an editorial under the above caption, says "The democratic central committee iu Gila county has taken the lead in deciding to hold a primary election, instead of a delegate convention, for the nomina- ton of candidates on the democratic ticket. The action should be applaud ed by the people of the entire territory.
 "rhe adoption of the primary elect ion system of nomination means the curtailment of the power of political machines, which should be desirable at all times"
 After quoting what the SILVER BELT said editorially on this subject last week, the Review concludes us follows:
 "The BELT is right. There can be no objection to the primaries and none will be urged by anybody who is will iug to trust their chances to the ex pressed will of voters.
 By the primary system one of the good results will be to shut out the po- litical trickster who never shows up as A candidate until the day of the conven- tion. All who desire plac con the party ticket will be forced into the open and compelled to exhibit himself to the public estimation before he receives any endorsement. Every candidate will be forced to lay hisrecord, good or bad, on the altar of public inspection, where the party voters will have the oppor- tunity to approve its virtues and con. demu its iniquities.
 "It is to be hoped that every demo- cratic committee in Arizona will follow the example of Gila county by the adoption of the primary plan for the selection of the county tickets and for every other purpose of securiDga party expression. Such a course will promote harmony and do away with charges of fraud and trickery, so common after every delegate convention, where nom- nations are often controlled by few men,"

Immediately after the enactment of the national irrigation law, the SILVER BELT expressed the opinion that the operation of the law would be slow and the resulting benefits to Arizona long deferred. This view is confirmed by no less an authority than Frederick Haynes Newell, chief of the division of hydrograpby of the geological sur vey, upon whom the administration of the law practically devolves. Mir. New ell declares tliat the reclamation of the arid lands of the United States IS the work of century, and at best it will be two or three years before the actual work of construction will be begun in any locality. The first work to be done IS the surveying of proposed sites and the taking of observations by govern ment engineers who are to report in detail. Parties of this character are now working Tn California, Oregon, Washington, Montana, Utah, Nevada, Idaho, Arizona and Colorado. When reports have been received the data will be forwarded to Washington as rapidly as collected, and there it will be classified, the merits of each propo. sitlon compared with those of other locations, and the conclusions of the experts presented to the secretary of the interior. The work which will be begun first will doubtless be on the site which presents the best prospects Of good results and shows the most natural advantages.

In fairness to all candidntea N

In fairness to all candidates who's, announcements appear in the SILvEI BELT previous to August 23rd, the date of the democratic primaries, VIC will omit any expression of opinion ol the qualifications of the several aspir. ants for office. However, we have decided to give to each one the priyil. ege of using space of fifteen lines in a single issue of this paper, in which they can make individual appeals to the party voters for support. If state- ments exceed fifteen lines, the excess will be charged for at our regular rate for reading notices.

OUANDARY AT THE ALTAR.

An elderly minister is fond Of tell
ing OF a "break" he once made at a
double wedding Of two sisters. 1t
was arranged that. the two couples
should be married with one ceremony,
the two brides responding at the same
time and the two bridegrOOms doing
the same. There had not been any
previous rehearsals, as the minister
had come along distance and had
reached the church but few minutes
before the time for the ceremony.
All went we'll until it came time for
the minister to say, "And now pro-
nounce you man and wife"
1t suddenly became obvious to the
minister that the usual formula would
not do in the case OF two men and two
wives, and he could not think OF any
way OF making imam" and "wife"
plural in the sentence. In his desper-
alton and confusion he lifted his
hands and said sOlemnly:
"And now l pronounce you, one and
all, husband and wifew
A minister whose first parish was
in the backwoods of the West some
years ago says that he once married
very seedy-looking bridegroom to a
buxom girl of perhaps twenty years.
The ceremony was performed in the
log.cabin home of the brides parents,
and there were many guests present.
When the bridegroom repeated the
words, "With all my worldly goods,
thee endow," a tall, lank fellow with
huge tobacco-cud in his bullying
cheek drawled out nasally:

WHY DO BIRDS MIGRATE?
REASONS WHICH ARE SAID TO 90 BACK
TO THE ICE AGE.
Woman's Home Companion.

Woman's Home Companion.
Speaking Of birds coming back from
the south, let me explain, so far as I
can, where they have been, why they
went, and why they take the trouble
to come all the way back again. Many
thousands Of years ago birds didn't
migrate at all. There was no occa-
sion for them to do so. All the north.
ern countries, even Greenland and the
most northern parts Of Europe, we're
warm the year round, and the birds
and other animals which lived there
found everything they needed close at
hand. Gradually there began period
known as the ''ice PERIOD" when
large part of the northern countries
became extremely cold, and were
buried under the ice. The birds
which lived in these countries could
not stand the severe change, so the
sensible ones all went south, and
made the best of it. But they never
quite forgot their northern homes,
and long after, when the great ice cap
melted away, and when the northern
countries became warm again, the de-
'cendants of the birds, which were
driven out by the cold, went hack to
their own country. There they found
plenty OF food, so they stayed and
made their nest and laid their eggs.
But, alas. the climate was no longer
as it used to be-mild and warm the
whole year round. 1t was divided in
to seasons, and the warm summer was
followed by cold winter. They had
scarcely reared their young before
they found that the air was beginning
to get cold again, so as soon as the lit.
tie ones were strong enough to stand
the long journey they all flew away tc
the south. But they never forget
where their real homes are. Every
spring there comes over them a great
longing to go back and make their
nest where they themselves were
born. They cannot resist that long
ing No matter where they may be-
down In the gulf stream, in the West
India Islands, or perhaps thousands
of miles away in the southern part of
South America-back they come by
tens of thousands, and by millions,
to their old homes 10 the north.

BILL NYE AS A DAIRYMAN.

When was young and used to roam
around over the country, gathering
watermelons 10 the light Of the moon,
l used to think l could milk anybOdy's
cow, but don't think so now. l do
not milk the COW unless the sign is
right, and it hasn't been right for
good many years. The last COW l tried
to milk was a common COW, born in
obscurity; kind OF self-made cow. l
remember her brow was low, but she
wore her tail high and was naughty
oh, so naughty.
l made common place remark to
her, one that is used 10 the very best
society; said: $50" and she "Soed."
Thep I told her to "Hist"-and she
"Histed." But l thought she overdid
it. She put too much expression in it.
Just then heard something crash
through window of the barn and fall
with a thud, sickening thud, on the
outside. The neighbors came to see
what it was that caused the noise.
They found that had done 1t In get
ting through the window.
asked the neighbors II the barn
was still standing. They said is was.
Then l asked If the COW was injured
much. They said she seem quite
robust. Then l requested them to 60

they could get my plug hat off OF her

A STORY OF TALMAGE.

The late DR.. Talmage was on one
occasion in the company of some theo-
logical students, says the Philadel-
phia Times. They, fresh from the
study of church history, were laughing
together over the old scholastic Ques-
tiOn:
"How many angels are supported
on the point ola neeele?"
They were surprised when DR.. Tai
mage turned to them and said:
"Well, how many do you think?"
AS no one answered he went on,
with decision:
"Well, III tell you-fve."
And he justified his answer with
the following story:
One very stormy night he was com.
ing home late, and he noticed a light
in the window OF room where he
knew poor woman lived whose hus.
band was at sea. He wondered what
kept her up so late, and he went tt
see. He found her hard at work sew
ing by her lamp, while her five ros,
children were sound asleep beside
her.
"There," said DR., Talmage, twas
needle supporting five angels"

wHEN We TURN OUR OFFICE KEF

The day brings cares 10 you and me,
As both Of us quite often find,
So when we turn our office key
We ought to leave them oil behind.
For II they vex us all day long,
Our minds distract, our hands made
thin,
We do ourselves cruel wrong
Unless we simply lock them In.
Or II they do not harm rs much,
When we are strong and day is bright.
They at our very vitals clutch :
When we are tired and worn at night
Fen when the hour for rest draws near,
HThe time for quiet, peaceful sleep,

Or ghostlike round our pillows creep.
Then since they love not You nor me,
+ And we can meier their favor win,
Nights when we turn the Office key
We better safely lock them in.
