PACKARD FOR PRESIDENT

There are many democrats through
 cut Arizona who have expressed the
 hope than Hon. B. A. Packard of Co
 chise county, will be elected as pres ident of the legislative council when it convenes next week. The election of no other member of that body to
 the honorable and responsible posi- ton of president. would attract great CT applause from the democratic party
 and people generally of this territory.
 MT Packard is not only a pioneer citizen of Arizona, but he has, as we'll much experience in legislative work
 having already represented Cochise
 twice in the council He is a man of honor and the courage to maintain his position in a straightforward. open manner: he hates technicalities and deceit in business or politics; he is well acquainted with every industrial condition in Arizona; his home is in
 Bisbee. the largest mining city in the
 territory, and for many years he has been one of the largest cattle owners Of the southwest. h MT. Packard the people have the utmost confidence; economical in his personal affairs he has always stood firm for the applica- tion of that rule in all public affairs. An uncompromising democrat and al
 ways upholding the banner of democ- racy, he has no use for demagoguery and believes in straightforward and open handed business at all times.
 A man of high character and large
 property interests, he will be safe in directing legislation to the best inter-
 ests of all MT. Packard has not yet consented to stand for the high posi-
 tion of president of the council, but his many influential friends through
 out the territory hope that he will do so. He has only to say the word and
 the prize will be his, unless present indications are very deceptive.

It is proposed, in the consolidation scheme, that Santa Fe is to be and re- main the capitol of the new state for ten years, and New Mexico with its 7,0OO republican majority sees an op- portunity to gobble up politically its democratic sister Arizona will never submit to any such arrangement with out a vigorous protest.
 No doubt the editor of the Santa Fe New Mexican sees a splendid op- portunity to deliver Arizona into the hands of the republican party in the merger proposition and it looks very much now as if the New Mexico dele gation in Washington, D. C., had decided on this line of action.

CONSISTENCY A JEWEL

The alleged gold washed from gravel taken from an Indianapolis sewer is doubtless the crystallized sparks from Beveridge's Websterian intellect seeking a fit channel for more mature development. The only loose gold in Indiana is that corraIled by the use of coupon scissors and statesmen of Beveridge's calibre."- Douglas Dispatch.
 There is little to be gained by the territorial press in throwing mud at the senate subcommittee on territories. If anything were needed to convince those gentlemen that the stand they have taken in opposition to the admis- sion of New Mexico and Arizona into the union is fully warranted by the facts, it is the incorporate and sense less abuse of three members of that committee by squirt-gun ink-slingers and irresponsible windjammers. Muz- gle the by i crossroads press. and it
 
 gress can be convinced that Arizona is peopled by high standard of citi- iZeDship and eminentiy entitled to the priceless raiment of statehood."- [ Douglas Dispatch.
 The above clippings are taken from the editorial page of the Douglas Dis. patch of its issue of January 10th. In the first paragraph Bro. Dorr turns over the gentlemen from Indiana in true characteristic style such as he deserves, but alas. in another para graph he brands himself as a squirt gun ink-slinger" and again an ire sponsible wind-jammer." We have al ways had a good opinion of Dorr ana it grieves us some to see him abuse himself in this manner.

to the candidacy of Limantour for the presidency and sustaining that he is not a citizen of the republic, have come to the conclusion that this dec laration, coming as it does, from the official organ, leaves no doubt as to who has been chosen by President Diaz to succeed him.
 It is further stated by those famil- far with the political situation in our sister republic, that Limantour is not favorite with the masses. That he is not looked by the army and it is feared tha. his succession of Diaz will be followed by a serious revolution.

HALF A LOAF

A new and unforeseen danger has arisen in connection with the statehood bill now pending before the senate. It has appeared in the shape of a mer- ger which proposes to consolidate Ari- zona and New Mexico as one state and with Santa Fe as the capital to grant the people of these two terri tories the privilege of statehood. That this proposition is looked upon with favor by the New Mexicans has been apparent for several days past. While nominally, they occupy the po- sition of being opposed to any consol- idation, they are gradually coming around to the idea that a half loaf" is better than no loaf at all. while to the average Arizonan it appears that New Mexico, under the proposed ar rangement, would carry of the whole bakery.
 Listen to this sweet tone of resig- nation in an article in the Santa Fe New Mexican, in reply to an editorial in the Colorado Springs Gazette, ad- vising New Mexico and Arizona to re- main as territories indefinitely rather than be admitted to the union as one state The Santa Fe paper says:
 This argument is all right from the Beveridge standpoint, but it is not so plausible from the territorial point of view Coloradoans have forgotten the ignominy and the hardships that a ter ritorial form of government implies After waiting fifty years for statehood New Mexico is ready to make almost any sacrifice to gain full citizenship for it's people If New Mexico and Arizona are each fit for statehood united they are certainly also fit tC be admitted as states. There are some advantages in union that canno be denied and one strong state is bet ter than two weak states. CitizenshiI is so great a privilege, so desirable an acquisition. that New Mexico ant Arizona may lend an ear to the uniol propoistion providing it is demon strated that otherwise neither of tn two territories will be given state hood Of course, separate statehOo is preferable, but if that is impossibI to attain, then statehood as one stat may be acceptable though it would il volve some sacrifice on part of each { the two territories"
 From the view point of the Arizo ans the advantages of such a unio are all on the side of New Mexic

Alfalfa Soil Germs.

1t has been found that when Illi-
nois soil is seeded to alfalfa It will
produce good crops of that plant only
When the soil is inoculated with germs
that produce nodules on the roots. The
Illinois station, in a recent communi-
cation to this paper, says:
We furnish this soil in grain bags
delivered to the railroad freight house
OF Champaign or Urbana for fifty cents
a hundred pounds to cover cost of col
lecting, drayage, and bags. Remit
lance is best made by postofice money
order or Chicago bank draft. Personal
checks are not accepted.
Orders should be placed at least two
or three weeks before the soil is
wanted, as weather conditions may
make 1t impossible to collect the soil
promptly and get it in suitable con-
dition for shipping. We advise using
at least 100 pounds of infected soil
to the acre. Definite trials on large
areas have shown that this amount is
suincient to produce a very satisfac-
tory incubation. The soil should be
scattered over the field with some de-
gree OF uniformity; but it is not like
seeding grain and it is not absolutely
essential that every square yard in
the field should receive its due portion
OF infected SOIL Some care should
be taken in spreading it over the high
er places in the field, but if places
3 should be missed on sloping land or on
lower lying lands the bacteria will
soon be carried over them by surface
drainage waters; indeed, If all the
water sheds in the field Chat is, all
ridges and high places are well in
oculated, the entire field will ultimate
ly become infected, the bacteria be-
ing carried by soil washing; but the
Infection is more rapid, of course, if
the infected soil is spread over the
entire field with some degree OF uni
formfty when it is first applied. If
possible the soil should be applied
at about the time the alfalfa seed is
sowed and then narrowed in with the
seed; but 1t may be applied month
or two before sowing the alfalfa or at
any time afterward and it is not alb
solutely necessary that it be narrowed
In, although that is advisable. If ap-
piled to a field where the alfalfa is
already year or two old, the in
tected soil may be mixed with the soil
of the field by narrowing or disking
(the disks being set straight SO as not
to cut off the alfalfa roots) prefer
ably early in the spring or after a cut
ting has been made. The infected
soil may be applied in any way to get
it over the f1eld,-as by hand Throw
ing it from the wagon), with an end
gate seeder, if the soil is dry enough
and sufficiently well pulverized, or
in any other way which may be found
convenient.

This building is given a logical
location on the lower level of the cliff
and Its design is severe and simple.
Its location shows 1t to be a continue,
ton of the cliff on whose brow IL

the rocks from the cliff itself, rising
from the river to form a base for the
buildings above. The plans of the
building itself show one of the finest
riding halls in the world.
The extension of the cadet barracks
is one of the important questions with
which the firm had to deal In this case
there have been added to the old build
ing seven divisions, one at the south
east corner of the old. four at the
southeast corner of the area and two
at the southwest corner of the old.
These seven divisions will provide for
80 men each.

central administrative building of the

built around an inner court 100 feet
square, three stories high, with a
tower 50x50 feet and $50 feet high, or
eight stories. This will be very elab-

stories will be devoted to a military
museum, and the upper stores to the
necessary offices.

1t is hoped to have the plans pre-
pared during the fall and winter, so
that the work of building and recon-
strucling may begin in April Then,
too, the firm is determined to keep
within the appropriation at all haz-
ards.
Not only has the work devolved
upon the firm of providing plans and
locations for the proposed new build
lngs, but there went with it the at
tendant feature of making the land
scape harmonic with the new loca-
tons. This was a big feature of the
work, and from the plans presented

notified Of its success In securing one
of the largest outside contracts ever
awarded by the government, the
working plans will soon be begun.
This firm has made a speciality of
gothic work, especially in the draw
ing of church plans, and from the
fact that the present style of build
ings at West Point are along gothic
lines the new plans carry the same
idea throughout. This is not meant
to be construed that the lines will be
hard and fast as pertaining to col
legiate, ecclesiastical or domestic
gothic, but essentially a military
gothic, simple, massive and powerful.
The plans submitted in competition
were simply temporary ones, but con-
tanned all the details as to elevation,
location and Typographical effect,
while the thesis gave more III the
detail as suggested by the architects.

present, but long way into the
future, to be the ones from which
the changes would be made. A Bos-

THE LENGTH OF LIFE.
Longevity Of Man Increasing, says an
Austrian physician.

Austrian Physician.
Medical men are discussing a lecture
by Professor Pfiuger, of the Univer-
sity Of Bonn, on longevity, in which he
asserts that the average length of
human life is steadily increasing, says
the Indiana Medical Journal He
maintains that one-third of all the
deaths registered in Munich are due to
heart disease, brough on by the i'm
moderate use Of beer, and that tobac-
co also claims a large pencentage of
the victims. Among forty centenarl-
ans who have come under his notice
there was only one smoker, while
nearly all professed to a moderate use
of alcohol. What Professor Phuger
most seriously warns people against
is the thought and fear of death. The
mind must be occupied, he says, in
order to secure longevity. Hard-work
ing men who retire rarely live much
longer.
The German census statistics show
that in 1871 the centenarians mum
bered lat men and 287 women, but in
1900 only five men and thirty women
The above press report is of interest
AS is well known in Munich the con
sumption of beer per capita is greater
than elsewhere in the world and the
percentage of heart disease is higher
Beer has a worse influence on the
heart than either wine or whisky
Tobacco is better borne by adults and
the aged than by youth. No child
should be allowed to smoke before the
age OF twenty-one. Wine has been
said to be the milk of old age; il
should not be used until past the noon
OF life. That the German census
shows a reduction of old men since the
war with France is natural. The age

NEW WEST POINT.
More Than Five Million Dollars Is Be Spent by the
Government In Improvements at the Military

10 those best conversant with the

that the young soldiers at West Point
are not suitably housed; that In order
to keep the reputation of the old

stood, as the best In the world, a
radical change must necessarily come.
With the great improvements at An

for the army end of the nations pro-
tectors. Accordingly, by an act of
