Timber Damaged by Insects.

Dr. A. D. Hopkins has just re- turned to Washington, D. C., from an extended trip to Arizo- ma, southern California, northern Idaho, the Puget Sound country and the Black Hills, where he made investigations of the dam age done timber by the insect pests. In the Black Hills about 600 million board feet of yellow pine has been killed by the pine destroying beetle. Dr. Hopkins recently returned a report on the best methods of lessening the damage, in which he recon mended to the department of the interior that all live trees infest- ed with beetles should be cut in the winter and their bark re- moved, a process which kills the insects. This recommendation has been adopted. Dr. Hopkins is in charge of forest insect in vestigation of the division of en- tomology, department of agri- culture, cooperating with the bureau of forestry.

It Satisfied Lincoln.

Among Lincoln's callers one morning in '62 was a stranger seeking both personal and off cial assistance from the presi- dent, and who brought with him some letters lauding his loyalty that bore the signature of 8 for mer governor of Maryland. Lin coin received the stranger with some warmth, that was not chilled even when one of the at taches, who had overheard the conversation, interrupted to ex- plain that the signature must have been forged for the reason that the Marylander mentioned had been dead several years. The stranger showed guilt in ev- cry feature, but Lincoln suffused with that pity for the luckless that was ever his, cheerily ob- served:
 "Oh! never mind that-never mind it! This is far more inter- esting! I would rather get a let ter from dead man than from a live one any day"-Philadelphia Times.

THE LAND QUESTION

It is time for the landless to begin to study the land question.
 It can be done better now than at any later period. Land every where is becoming dearer. Many think it dear already. Many thought it dear ten years ago, or twenty years ago, and on that account refused to buy a home, preferring to wait until land be- came cheaper. Now they see their error, for it takes from three to ten times as much money to buy an acre as it did a few years ago. As an investment for actual use land is as cheap now as it ever was. AS much clnar profit can now be made

Couldn't Recall.

A Chicago woman tells the following story of her newest grandson. The youngster was being dressed for his first visit to Sunday school.
 "Now, Johnny boy, when they ask you who made you, you are to say God Remember now. ''
 "All right, mamma" said the young hopeful, and was led of by his nurse.
 "Now, Johnny, who made you?" asked the teacher.
 Johnny stood up, wiggling with delight. "Why-er-, "the small face began to look doubt ful; "eh-er-please, sir, man. ma told me, but I've forgotten what the gentlemen's name is. y

The Southern Pacific is exper- imentlng with new style of To- comotive tender. It is combi- nation oil and water tank with a capacity of $500 gallons of oil and 7O00 gallons of water. This is enough for a travel of 300 miles with an ordinary train. The new combination tanks will be of particular advantage in the desert country, where the water is usually bad for steam boilers besides being particularly expensive and hard to get. The new tender is as long as the To- comotive it follows and a trifle over half as high.

from land costing $50 per acre as could have been made from
 the same land when it was with out a purchaser at $5 per acre. Times have changed, customs have changed and methods have changed, and improved imple- mentS enable man to cultivate twice or three times as much land as he could a few years ago, and prices for farm products are higher. Thirty years ago farm CT was considered a prodigy of success if he cleared more than 5 per cent per annum on his in- vestment. Now many farmers clear 20 to 30 per cent and some make much more than this. Re suits of good farming considered, lana Is cheaper now than It ever was, even if it cost five times as much per acre. People are be- ginning to realize these facts, and as result there is an ever increasing demand for land for farming. Agricultural education and agricultural inventions make farming now the most attractive business known for men of nor nal instincts. and just such men are on farms or looking for farms, the former having a large advantage oyer the latter because they have the start of them. Now is a good time to buy farms and the Southwest is the best country in which to buy them.- Farm and Ranch.

Senator Hale, in an interview with regard to the tariff, ex pressed the belief that nothing would be done, either at the coming session or by the fifty eighth congress.
 Neither this winter nor the next, nor the winter thereafter, , said he, unless congress loses its head, will any revision of the tariff be made. The results ot the Dingley tariff act have been so generally happy that it is diff ffcult to understand the cry which is set up in certain quar- ters, not by people generally, in favor of revision.
 "The Dingley act has given the people of the United States more revenue, more business, more trade and more prosperity than any bill ever enacted. The people understand this, and the late elections show that, with certain exceptions, entire con- tent exists under the present conditions. It would be the height of folly now to try to dis turb these conditions.
 "Free traders, including al most all democratic leaders, and uneasy, weak-kneed republicans, who are bowling for revision and reciprocity would do we'll to take notice of what will happen, provided they get their way. It is absolutely safe to say that no tariff revision can take place ex- cept at the end of the long ses- sion, after a bitter and protract- ed fight, which in itself, will dis turb nearly all and destroy some of our industries.

Thanksgiving was generally observed this year by all classes of people, in Yuma as elsewhere. The past year has witnessed an immense growth of business and trade throughout the country, and there is no nook or corner of this broad land but what has felt the benign influence of the gen. eral good times. Here, we have more to be thankful for than mere commercial and industrial advancement-in our life-grow- ing, healthful climate, our sun shine and balmy atmosphere, which cannot be equaled else where on earth.
