Bronze Grass Pays.

]. A. Martin, who lives near town, and
j. s. Wymore of Gurdane brought a
bundle of bronze grass to town Tuesday
which was grown on Al Horsman's place
in the Potts country, near Gurdane. The
grass was six feet in length and Mr.. Mar
tin stated that much of 1t on Mr.. Hors-
mans meadow could be tied in a knot
over a good sized horses back. 1t will
yield three or four tons to the acre. Mr..
Horseman has several acres which he
sowed last year. 1t has grown on dry
soil. much of which is rocky, without ir-
rigation. Cattle and horses like it and
Mr.. Horseman considers 1t very valuable
grass for hay and pasturage in the noun

IRRIGATION PROBLEM.
Department OF Agriculture Issues Book Des'
cribing Work Done.

The San Francisco Chronicle tells of
the progress of irrigation and of the
widespread application of the system.
The Chronicle says
Only those who regularly see the irri-
cation bulletins and reports of the De-
partment of Agriculture and the agricul-
tural colleges can realize how rapidly in
terest in irrigation is spreading. The
Department has just issued a second vol
ume describing the work done in 1900 in
Studies of the duty of water-that is, the
amount required under different circum-
stances. to produce crops-methods OF
measurement in distribution. loss by
seepage or evaporation f7om bitches, res
ervoirs and fields, the amount and char
acter of silt deposited, and similar pro-
blems. The work described in this vol
ume covers twelve States and territories.
Besides the work done directly by the
department the agricultural colleges of
many of the States are constantly at
work on similar problems.
These studies disclose that in many
and perhaps most cases the majority of
the water entering the bitches is lost;
that enormous preventable damage is
done by escaping water or overirrigation,
and that as a rule those who buy water
by volume from ditch companies honestly
intending to make good delivery seldom
get what they pay for The work of the
department In discovering these evils
and deyising methods for remedying them
is destined. within the next quarter of a
century, to enormously increase the pro-
ductive power of our land in all parts of
the United States.
1t has already become evident that in
the next generation irrigation will be
practiced in all parts OF the United
States where water is available. Money
Is being more rapidly invested in irriga-
ton works in Louisiana and Texas than
In any of the arid States This is due to
the development of the rice industry in
those States. In New Jersey irrigation
certain to extend to all parts of this and
all other countries where any form OF
Intensive agriculture Is carried on. In
the arid States, where irrigation is the
main reliance and irrigation merely an
auxiliary, and possibly wherever reli-
able underground supply of water can be
obtained near the surface. pumping will
q probably be found most economical. The
fsroblems of irrigation are therefore ceas-
ing to be local in their charcter. and COM
Ing to be recognized as of Importance to
the whole country.

SCHMITZ AND FITZ.
San Francisco's Mayor and the Pngilest Dis
cuss the Late Fight.

A San Francisco dispatch says that
Wednesday Robert Fitzsimmons called on
Mayor Schmitz and assured the latter
that he had not faxed in the championship
battle between himself and Jeffries. The
city's chief executive, after gazing on
Fitz's countenance said: "Mr. Fitzim-
mons, your face is too honest for a man
who would fake Fitz turned red and
then the tears welled to his eyes as he
thanked the Mayor for his kind opinion.
The Mayor further stated that the con-
test was the best he had ever seen but
reiterated that the fighting did not suit
him. Fitzimmons explained at length
how his hands were crippled from punch
ing Jeffries, and told how the champion
landed a blow over his breast that pre-
vented him from continuing the battle.
The Mayor listened to all Fitz had to say
and. in parting with the Cornishman said
that in his opinion Bob certainly did not
fake as he was too Straightforward a
man to willingly lend himself to such
a crooked act Mayor Schmitz afterward
said that he had accorded Fitz an in
terview out of courtesy, but would not
make any investigation of the charges,
as they were immaterial The Mayor
stated he had washed his hands of the
entire matter.

BISBEE'S BACK STEPS
The Trail to Chihuahua Hill a Hard
 One to Travel.

Bisbee, Ariz., December 14.-(Special Correspondence of The Republicanj.- Bisbee has a pair of stairs with rec ord. They are designed to unable the inebriated perambulator along Brewery gulch to elevate himself over the 2O- foot retaining wall near the Review office. while on his way to Chihuahua hill. Every night some belated home soer takes a header off those stairs to the damage of tine top end of his spinal column and the consternation Of the inmates of a rag-topped photograph gallery below. About a week ago an cid timer known by the covenient tide O.; McGinty went down to tthe bottom of the wall and the coroner's jury said he died from the effects of diving from the "old drinks cinch." Day before yesterday Bill Harris mistook it for the schutes and spattered the dark san dy loam benath with arteriaI gore and smoking tobacco. Bill wasn't wabbly but the stairs were. They belong to JCe Muheim. Often have his hilarious neighbors enjoined him to put railings on those steps, build an elevator or put up a hoist. but the obdurate Joseph simply reminded them that they were his steps and if they wanted to rope Ihelil III they could do so. Finally the froliceome population of Chihuahua nil peutioned the city council to rail In those stairs. but the undertaken was man of means and defeated the meae- ure. The coroner also was opposed U any innovations in that line Finally the bibulous population Of the hill mus tered a majority and the city council had to yield. so the steps were mar roWed down and the two rails are so close together that the belated Chi huahuan can hold on with both hands at once. Even yet the coroner and the undertaken can be seen proving around the foot O. those stairs every morning about daylight. just through the force ot habit. So another pioneer landmark is practically obliterated. so Tar as public interest is concerned.

The quarterly conference of the Maricopa stake. which convened In the tabernacle Saturday and Sunday last. was well attended especially the Sun day services. ct which the house was filled to overhowing, there being many strangers present.
 The meetings were addressed by Apostle Hyrum NJ. Smith. Prest T. Golden Kimball of the quorum or sev- enty.

 Prest. C. R. flakes and the different bishops of wards and presidents of stake associations gave in their re- ports, which were very satisfactory. The subjects treated by the visitors were mainly addressed to the young people, and were along the line Of put- ity and spiritual and intellectual de- velopment. All of the visitors are ex- ceptionally strong speakers and the people who attended received a treat.
 Sunday afternoon the general au- thorities of the church were sustained, and the vacancy in the stake presiden- cy caused by the death of Prest. Henry Rogers was filled, W. J.
