ONLY A FEW LEFT,

The Lordsburg Liberal says that the
democratic party in the territory is
going fast, Following the conversion
of James Fielder comes the announce
ment that DR.. .'earce, of Albuquerque,
had abandoned the old party, and now
the New Mexican says that j. H. Crist
has been appointed postmaster at Mo
nero, Rio ArriDa county. 1t will be re-
membered that Crist was the chief
push of the democratic party during
Thornton's administration. He was
editor of the party organ at Santa Fe
and district attorney. He it was who
convicted the Borregos just to spite
Tom Catron. With Pat Garrett holding
down the co~llectorship at Ell Paso and
Crist far enough into the party to be
appointed postmaster it will be seen
that the rush has started in good
shape. If 1t continues like this the
democratic territorial convention of
1904 will consist of Ex-Governor Ross
and Harvey Whitehill, who will have
to draw cuts to see which of them will
receive the nomination as delegate to
congress-this, of course, providing
Delegate Rodey does not make a state
of us before that time, in which case
these two will have to be the candi-
dates for senators.

n ARID LANDS,

The plans for retaining the arid
lands of the west through irrigation,
suggested by President Roosevelt and
Secretary Hitchcock, have directed
public attention to the extent to which
the once sterile wastes have been
transformed by this process into pro-
ductive areas and the amount of arid
soil that is yet to be reclaimed.
1t is estimated that one-third of the
whole United States, exclusive of AL
aska and outlying possessions, consists
Of vacant public lands. This vast area
under proper irrigation and good man.
agement is capable of sustaining a
large population. AS much of this area
has a rich soil it's utilization is one Of
the most important economic ques-
tons before the people, and congress
must soon give it consideration.
Writing in the current Worlds Work
Robert T. Hill of the United States
geological survey calls attention to
some instances of the marvellous trans
formation of the desert into emerald
Gases by irrigation. The hopeless
looking soil of the desert, when artific-
tally watered, when watered, is appar-
emily more fertile than that region
where rainfall is abundant. Proof of
this may be seen in the wheat fields of
Utah, the great cotton farm of Goa
hula, the alfalfa valleys of the Rio
Grande and the orchards of Califor-
mia.
Frederick Haynes Newell, who has
been engaged for many years in con-
Quoting investigation of the extent to
which arid regions "a be reclaimed
by irrigation and has written an e.
haustive book upon the subject, de-
clares that enough land can be re-
claimed in this way to provide food
and homes for a population greater
than that of our whole country today

THE BEEF

Apparently there is no beef trust, in
the sense that there is a steel or a
sugar trust, but the beef combine is
operating in great part upon the same
principles as these. If reliable news
papers of the east are correctly in
formed the combination which has
caused so great an advance in the
prices of beef centers its interests in
Kansas City, and to each member of it
is allotted a certain territory in which
he has entire control of the business.
Hence there is no competition, and of
course no reduction of prices; on the

Quincy, Mass, has been a prohibit

that period the population has more

COL. BRoD,E.
Sketch of the Life of a Gallant Rouoh
Rider,

Rider.
Col. Brodie has a very interesting
history. He "a graduated from West
Point in 1870, and promoted to a sec
ond ~lieutenancy in the same year. He
served on the frontier duty up to 1877.
when he resigned from the service.
In 1871, he was especially commend
ed for ~gallantry in action with the
A%paches, and was recommended for
brevet by General Cook, for his SER
vices against the same tribe in the
winter of 1928. When the Span
ish American war broke out he or
ganized the Arizona quota of the
First United States cavalry, famil-
iarly known as the Rough Riders. He
organized, drilled and equipped the
first squadron of the regiment at San
Antonio, Texas, in May, 1898. He was
wounded in the action at Los Quasi
mas, Cuba, on June "a, his forearm
shattered by a Mauser bullet. In this
engagement he was in command of
the lett flank. In August he was
made lieutenant-colonel of his regi-
ment. He was especially commended
by Generals Shafter, Wheeler, Young
and Wood and Col. Roosevelt.
After Brodie left the regular army
he worked for a time as a day laborer
in the mines of Arizona. His climb to
the top, however, was rapid, and a few
years later he was put in charge of
the great Walnut Grove dam, on the
Hassayampa river, north of Wicken-
burg.
In 1884, when the dam was about
completed, an immense flood washed
it out, causing the loss of eighty lives
and damaging property worth mil
lions of dollars, in the valley below.
Brodie's promised wife was the sole
survivor of her family, who were
camped below the dam. She escaped
by climbing a cliff and a few months
later became Mrs. BrOdie,

contrary, they all the time tend to ad-
vance toward the top notch. 1t is
stated that the trade of this combine
amounts to $500, 000, 900 annually, and
it is no very wild estimate that its
profits reach 800. 900 900 a year. This
combination for the atrocious purpose
of making meat unnaturally dear to
consumers is said not to be within the
purview of the law for the regulation
of trusts. Its business is not done
from a single office and the price lists
that are distributed over the country
slightly differ one from another.

In Scotland $4,000 people have sign

that ito allow such a title to be as

ian about her New York trip. He sent
her a check last week for $1OO for the

the sick whom others don't remember
meant Mary Linden going home in the
day coach instead of the parlor car,
and Lucy Craig, giving up pair of
kid gloves to afford the lilies. That is
the sort of thing love to see my girls
do. 1t could scarcely have meant a
bit of self-denial to Honor"
81 have great hopes for Honor" said
Miss Mary, cheerily.
Every girl at the round table glanced
curiously at Honor when she took her
seat. Her face was flushed rosily. It
may have been the effect of her walk
in the bracing spring air, but to Miss
Mary's keen eye it came from some
thing in the heart of the girl. The old
listlessness was gone, new purpose
and enthusiasm shone in the dark
eyes. Honor was one of the quiet girls
of the school; tonight she seemed
more silent than usual
The constant stream of chatter dealt
with the visit to the hospital and the
people there, and tears came into girl
ish eyes as they told pitiful stories of
the sick. Then the chatter leaped to

too far distant were wild with delight
at the thought of seeing fathers and
mothers and brothers and sisters.

neighbor, roguish Mollie Cable, rallied
her on being tongue-tied.
In the Lady Lindsay school there is
a half-hour every evening after tea
when the principal is to be found in

door. Honor was the first to claim her
tonight, and the old lady led her to
the large chair by the window. The
girl did not sit down, she stood over a
vase of daffodils, touching them with
tender fingers. She turned when the
principal spoke to her and burst into
an agony of tears. Tie old lady rose
and drew her to a low chair beside her
own, and the girl hid her face in the

LIFTING THE KING.
Features of an Old Saxon Coronation
Custom That Has Fallen
Into Disuse.

One of the picturesque English cor
onation ceremonies which have been
discontinued is that of lifting the
king. In the old days, says the Lon
don Tattler, the monarch always
slept at the palace of Westminster on
the night before the coronation. The
regalia, which areestill, technically
speaking, in possession of the dean
and chapter of Westminster, were
brought by them to Westminster hall
in preparation for the ceremony.
These were arranged on long table,
the crown, the scepter, the spurs, and
so on. The king, when he descended
from the palace to Westminster hall,
was lifted by his mobiles on marble
chair, which, by the way, persisted in
the ruins of the houses of parliament
when they were burned 60 or 20 years
ago.
The lifting of the king into this
chair was survival of the old Saxon
custom of carrying the king on his
shield. When the monarch was seat
ed in the chair he at once directed by
pointing his finger which of his mobiles
should carry the various parts of the
regalia to the abbey, and the process
sion began
