comes the nearest to what we all i'm agine the divine love to be. The love of husband for his wife when it endures the storm and stress which mark the period of mutual adapta tion, is wonderfully beautiful; yet it had its birth in passion, and the mem ories of its early years remain to keep it very human. The love that is given to a father or mother is strong and deep and lasting; yet it lacks the eXaltation and supreme emotion which are necessary to the love that has no flaw. The love of a father for his son is intense and overmastering, yet there is touch of personal pride, of almost conscious egOism, in it, which renders it not wholly unselfish and serene. But the love of a father for the girl child who has been born to him is more than any other love on earth, in its purity, its unalter- able cOnstancy, its power of self sac rifice, its profound delight, and its infinite tenderness. HI. T. Peck in the February Cosmopolitan.

MUST RETIRE EARLY.

Mexico, with its five hundred thou sand population cannot be called a wide open town, in the language of the sporting fraternity. At nine o'clock at night things are dead and at twelve the policeman holds the roost. We have no all night restaur- ants, no all night saloons, no places of whatever nature that are permitted to remain open after a stipulated hour. A fraternal government steps in and says when people should go to bed or go to jail. This all seems very strange to the gilded youth and "old boys coming down from the States or from the shores of Europe who are used to spend the better part of their lives after respectable people have begun to snoIe. It is a condi tion of affairs that probably does not exist in any other capital or large city of the world and it has its advan- tages. s.-City of Mexico Anglo-Ameri can

 In our immediate district prospects for the year have been materially i'm proved by-copious rainfall. The rain came at opportune time and Southern California has been immeasurably Jenefitied. The hay cro. IS surcJ and with rain early in March grain crop will be large. Beet planting has already begun at Chino. 4 large acreage is expected to insure a long campaign this season for all the fac tories.
 Orange crop is in good condition. The fruit is of superior size. the yield unless unfavorable conditions arise. will reach. if not exceed. 20. 600 car loads. Market at present is dull Cold weather of east has caused accu- mutation of fruit. Growers are firm in their ideas of high prices and pack CTS are not buying much fruit and just now shipments are light for this season of the year. Packers who bought heavily in January have in most cases made serious losses.
 Deciduous fruit trees and vines are developing finely: Early peaches are budding in some sections.
 Bean market is slow at present. Eastern shipments have been heavy.
 Renewed activity is reported from all Southern California oil fields. Consumption is drawing heavily upon stocks and further advance in price of crude oil is expected.

GRAND CANYON
 LITERATURE
True History of Naming Bright Anqel River Gig One of Mayor
 POweIl's Party.
Other Interesting Information Con. corning the Canyon and Names
 of Points in 1t.

It may be of interest to some of after which the Bright Angel trail is named received its name In 1869. when Major J. W. Powell made his first trip through the canyon. and while their boats were floating along. they came to a stream that was spout ing muddy, black, water. It was so dirty that the Colorado seemed clear to it. One of the party spoke up and said that is a dirty devil, and it was so named by Major Powell. Some distance further down the river the party came to stream just the re-
 verse from the other, with clear,
 bright and sparkling water. Another one of the party spoke to the first speaker saying: If that stream back there was Dirty Devil, this is sure a named it, and the stream is still known by that name. The Utah side of the canyon is higher than the Ari- zona side. To one standing on the rim of the canyon and looking east every thing seems to be level on this side of the canyon. The Utah side is also more interesting. While nature on the Arizona side has covered herself with trees, brush and grass, onsthe other side she is stll in the rough, still new Here and there are several extinct volcanoes that look as if they had cooled but yesterday. One can follow the different lava streams as they whisk their way through the hills as easy as stream of water. Where the flow went over a bluff t1e vol canic glass still hangs there. 1t has not yet broken away. This section is between Shibert (unmentionable) spring and the Kibab smooth on top mountains. Major Powell named sev- eral of these buttes, the largest of whose crater was seventy feet deep, fom the lip, and was named Mount Emma, if l remember rightly. after his wife. One was called Mt. Seneca Rowland after one of the men killed by the Indians. Charles Peak, after myself, and others whose name l have now forgotten. Where a large lava flow broke the rim and made it rough, was the only place we found to get down in the canyon without hard work and considerable danger That section where the gorge is the deepest, where the river cuts through the end of the Kibab moU utaiBs. is the Grand canyon. Other sections were called Wreck. Marble, Horse shoe, etc., etc. C. A. B.

RUSSIA'S AMBITION.

Europe is becoming alarmed over the designs of Russia. It is believed that the czar has under contemplation an attempt to carry out long cher ished desire to obtain possession of Constantinople The willy czar seems to think that the time is now ripe for the realization of this ambition. The Sultan of Turkey seems to realize the fact, as we'll as the rest of Europe. which accounts for the mobilization of troops now going on by him.
 The recent understanding in re- gard to Macedonia, on the part of some of the powers is looked upon as the entering wedge in the matter.
 The Pall Mall Gazette, in a recent issue sounds the following note of warning:
 ''There have been many false alarms, but this spring trouble will come. The one convincing sign to be found in the circumstances of Count Ignatieff's tour of the Balkans in com memoration of Russian victories was not a sufficient motive for his speeches. These were of a sort calcu- lated to make mischief He did moi improvise those speeches or make them on his own responsibility. That is not the Russian way. It follows that in fomenting trouble he was car rying out the settled policy of the Russian foreign office. It is reason able to infer that the trouble he made publicly was not all the trouble he made.
 ''What one has to remember is that Macedonia is always ready to rise whenever she sees a chance of foreign assistance, but the leaders know per fectly well that without foreign assis- tance their case is hopeless. Bulga rian assistance is not enough. The Turks are quite capable of stopping the Bulgarians without bringing a single man from Asia Minor. This fact is we'll known in Macedonia. Bull garia and Russia. There will be no serious rising in Macedonia until Russia gives the word. If Russia gives the word it will be because she is sure of free hand without inter ference from the other powers. Has Russia a free hand? At present every thing depends on the answer to that question, and it is believed it can be answered in the affirmative. .''

William J. Bryan was invited to at tend Jackson day dinner to be given by the Chicago lriquois club, on March l6th, the anniversary this year falling on Sunday. Grover Cleve- lands name headed the list and Bry- ans was second. When he learned that Cleveland had been invited Bryan's appetite for Jackson day food either political, mental or other kind failed him entirely and he said: ''I will not attend any banquet to which Grover Cleveland is invited. What need is there of inviting any one else to banquet at which Cleveland is to be present, " he asked, and he request ed friend to have his name stricken off the list.

A FALSE TELEGRAM .

The attention of the Journal Miner has just been called to a telegram from Prescott published in the Phenix Democrat of the 7th inst. in which the following paragraph occurs:
 ''The Journal Miner in an editorial this evening astounded its readers by advocating the unification of Arizona and New Mexico as one state and as serts that the people of Arizona. aside from few designing politicians, are in favor of such measure.
 The telegram goes on to say that ''the citizens of this city are indig nant at this outrage and Editor Mar tin is being severely criticised by the leaders of both political parties. ''
 Now the Journal Miner never used the language attributed to it as above and as to any indignation, no less than a dozen citizens have expressed to Editor Martin their appreciation of what was said in the editorial referred to while only one has taken issue with it to the editor personally. That in dignation must have been of the very suppressed sort. as there was no ont ward show made of it. and the editors left ear has not even been afflicted with that burning sensation which il is alleged is produced by parties speaking ill of one.
 The Journal Miner has its particular friends @ who are always looking for an opportunity to find fault with it. just as every newspaper has. and where the occasion is not furnished. they are ready to place their own COZ struction on its language. This CO., terie of citizens were probably. indig- nant.
 There has been no occasion for any misunderstanding of the Journal Miners position. on this question, and that is to exhaust every means available for admission as a single state, and resort to the scheme of an- nexation of New Mexico only last resort. It does not believe that ther' is any show to secure the admission of both territories as one state. shoulo the other proposition fail. Regard less of what the sentiment of this ter ritOry may be. the fact remains in cont. OVertible that the reason ii ha- the solid support of democratic mem bers of the senate is that it would be democratic state. Annex Nev Meixco to Arizona and admit them as one state and it would be republican and every last democratic senator would vote against it.
 All the indignation and all the cen sure that can be imposed cannot change these conditions and facts.
 Our old time friend John Dunbar who edits the Democrat now seems to have had his feathers undulv ruffie6 by the false statement in the aforesaid telegram too as he unburdens his pon derous mind on the subject as fol lows:

The enactment of a new poll tax law. under the guise and name of a school tax seems 10 meet with univer- sal approval. The clamor for the re- peal of the old poll tax law was very largely demagogic and came from par ties wanting to carry favor with vot- CTS rather than from voters them- selves. It is true that large num- Der of voters preferred losing their votes rather than to pay this tax. Payment of poll tax as a condition of voting Is a law as old as the gov ernment itself Different states have adopted different methods of collect them a condition is that before man can vote he must secure a receipt from the poll tax collector. This is notably the case in Pennsylvania. a state which gives the largest republi- can majority of any state in the union. and it is also the condition which exists in Texas. the banner democratic state. So it can be seen it is not a question of partisanship but a question of business. It does seem that there should not be found a man in all this vast republic 10 en- toys and appreciates the advantages and protection of the government who is so notably lacking in patriotism and national pride as to refuse or even object to the payment of tax to as sis. in the support and maintenance of the public schools.

Fort Whipple has had its water pipe troubles along with the balance of the community. Thursday night the water main leading from the reservoir burst and let every drop of water out of the reservoir and leaving the post with a genuine water famine on its hands. It was necessary to haul all the water used until the bursted sec tion could be taken out and replaced by a new one.
 The old pipes are nearly worthless at best, and one of the first improve ments that will be made on the post when the work of rebuilding begins, will be the installation of an entirely new water and sewer system. The water supplied to the post has come up to and even surpassed all that was promised or expected of it when the post was being examined for rehabilita- tiOn. During the stay of about one year at this place there has not been

A recent telegram from Washington says that on this account he has been practically deposed as Speaker Of the House of Representa- tives, and up to the close of this ses- sion of congress be will be permitted only to exercise the nominal powers of that high official It has been definitely arranged that from now oD Henderson will not be called into leg islative conferences, nor will he be called to the White House to confer with the president regarding many i'm pOrtanU pieces of legislation that must be attended to before this congress adjourns. Such conferences will be held exclusively with Representative Cannon. who, it k assured. will be speaker of the house in the fifty-eighth congress. and he is today complete master of the house, without having been elected speaker.

THE INVASION OF CANADA.

Ter years ago there were over 2,OC1. 900 Canadians i'll the United States. Long before the next ten years are over there will be quite 1000, 900 Americans in Canada.
 There is no check to the influx of farmers from the northwestern states. 1t is estimated that the emigrants to Canada this year will number 75,000 at least. half of them Americans. Dur ing the financial year recently ended they numbered 6S, GOO.
 This new development in the awak ening of what an American consul picturesquely described as "The sleep ing empire beyond" is leading to new problems, commercial and political. The farmers who are selling their lands in the Dakotas, Iowa, Nebraska and other northwestern states are not going to Canada as temporary resi- dents; they are going to stay, and in a few years the provinces of Mani toba, Alberta and Assiniboia will be largely inhabited by Americans.
 Canada has poured out her wealth in developing her railways, in advanc- ing agriculture, in improving inland navigation, in building canals and deepening river channels, and was be- ginning to despair of attracting i'm Iigran's $ in such numbers as would develop her magnificent domain. Now prosperity has come with rush, and the American farmers are only the forerunners of a greater invasion.
 The American capitalists already powerful in Ontario and Nova Scotia, in building up Canadian manufactur- CTS. will soon invade the northwestern provinces. where rich minerals remain Between the Red river and the Rockies there are 65, 900 miles of coal bearing strata-a potential harvest richer than the prairies can yield-awaiting American enterprise.
 Perhaps Englishmen will also be at tracted to the growing northwest, but the Americans will certainly get the start. rt.-London Express.
