INSTRUCTED TO STRIKE.

An alleged special to a Prescott
paper yesterday, from Denver, said
1.-The time of the meeting of the West
ern Federation of Miners today and
nearly all of yesterday was occupied
with the discussion of the proposed
cut in wages and time of hours in Ar
iona. The Mine Operators Associa-
ton yesterday notified the meeting
that on June l. the time the eight
hour law goes into effect in Arizona,
wages of miners would be cut from p
to 30 cents per day
The reading of the above sounds
very much as though some one had
been imposing on the aforesaid paper.
Just why the Arizona mine owners
should send any sort of telegram tC
a convention of men composed almost
exclusively of people from outside Of
Arizona is a singular thing in itself
Why the alleged telegram from then
should convey the information thai
the wages of miners would be cut
from p to 30 cents per day" is still
more astonishing. The Journal Miner
is informed that the schedule of wage.
adopted by the Yavapat county mine
operators to take effect June l. is {
substantial increase per hour over the
present rate. 1t is further informed
that the scale is higher than the Colo
RADIO scale paid to miners. The afore
said telegram also states that tn,
meeting instructed the Arizona del
egates to wire their respective union.
not to accept the cut most singu
air proceeding also as if the unions il

Guilty that confronts the national ir-

we approach a vast expenditure of
public money, and vast area of pub
lie land is about to be opened up and
rendered valuable, the cupidity of
people who are seeking private specu-

is exaggerated and intensified. " There
are lots of patriotic and progressive
citizens to be found in every COM

CHARACTERS
California Pioneer Visits
Pioneer of Arizona.

G. W Boggs left on this morning S
train for California after five days
visit here with his brother 7. W.
Boggs of Big Bug. This visit was the
first time that the two brothers had
met in fifty years They went, with
their parents to California in 1916,
and were members of the original
Bonner party of historical fame, a
portion of which met with such a dis
astrous experience i'll the Sierra Ne
vada mountains. The party, it will
be remembered, separated, one branch
getting to its destination with but
slight mishap, while of SO in the other
branch of the party, less than twenty
lived to reach their journeys end
The Boggs family belonged to the
branch which reached their destina-
ton in safety. This was before the
discovery of gold in California and
before it was admitted as a state
After residing there for few years
T. W. Boggs and a brother went to
Nevada, living there for nine years
and then came to Arizona. where the
former has lived ever since, the
brother afterwards moving to New
Mexico, where ne still resides. Since
the time the two brothers babe good
bye to their brother. G. W. ,Boggs, in
Stockton, in 1853, until few days
since they had not seen each other.
&. ". Boggs has beenson a visit to
Chicago and on his return journey
stopped in New Mexico to visit his
brother there and then stopped in
Prescott to visit the brother who was
one of the pioneers of the earliest
days of Arizona.
When it is known that the mother
of these men was grand daughter of
Daniel Boone, it is not to be wondered
at that they pushed out to the far west
and have ever since remained on the
frontier until civilization crowded
around them on all sides. leaving no
frontier for them to escape to. One
of the brothers was a member of the
Fremont party. and was intimately
associated with Kit Carson for a num-
Der of years in his explorations and
experiences in the Rocky Mountain
regions.

mediate trial or the benefit of release
bond or surety. Many railroad men
have been thrown into Mexican jails
and kept there for months ON account
of the accidental killing of some one
without any blame of the employees
or the company. All this has been
stopped by an order from President
Diaz who has directed that such cases
be treated much like unto the prac
tice in the United States. There will
be no more imprisonments without
positive proof of criminal negligence

A SAVAGE INDICTMENT.

From a two column editorial on
Grover Cleveland's candidacy, in the
Louisville Courier Journal, we take
the following savagely truthful ex-
cerpt. which is fair sample of the
whole:
THAT Mr.. Cleveland is strong.
dominant character, goes without say
ing. He is steady, self confident
man. with large capacity for work,
and with an inordinate love of power.
which he often exercises with brutal
reconsideration. In the common
affairs of administration he was indie
fatlgable and dutifuI But. as a party
leader he lacks all the essential ele-
ments of true leadership: familiar
knowledge of great public questions /:
fidelity to his public utterances; the
sense of obligation and comradeship
among his immediate adherents and
supporters. Tact and temper are as
Greek to him. Coarse of fibre. coarse
of habit, coarse of moral nature. he
knows but two ways of reaching his
objective point, the one to force it,
the other to buy it. With all his pro
fessions of civic virtue the patronage
was never more distorted to serve
political ends than during his second
administration. Long before the split
of 1896 he was at war With nearly
every democratic senator. All of them
could not have been wrong. he only
right.
The key note of Mr.. Cleveland's
character is unrelenting, unsparing
selfishness. Hence his refusal to elm
mate himself from the chances of a
nomination by the national demo-
cratic convention of 1896, though in
decently quick. later on, to decline a
sacrificiaI nomination which might
have been thrust upon him by the
succeeding gold bug indianapolis con-
vention.

There has been talk of such an enter
prise periodically for number of
years and it now seems to have taken
definite shape During the recent
visit of Senator Clark to Jerome word
was given out that the road was as

rome he was accompanied as far as

P. and P. railroad and the two were
met at Ash Fork by President Ripley
of the Santa Fe While nothing Off
cial was given out as to the nature of
this conference it was rumored that
the extension of the Arizona Central
rail road was one of the subjects dis
cussed The Flagstaff Sun in speak
ing of the proposed extension of this
road says:
1.-The bill that was passed by con
gress on February -, 1903, granting
the Central ArizonaSrailway the right
of way through the San Francisco for
est reserve for railroad purposes etc.
has developed the fact that surely in
the near future, there will be rail
road built from Flagstaff to Jerome,
reaching the latter place by way OF
Clear Creek. and then southwark to
Globe. 1t also looks very much as ii
line will be built from Flagstaff to
Santa Rosa, n NJ, making a direct
connection from that place to Globe
via Flagstaff. which will naturally
make Flagstaff a railroad center. In

session of congress it was stipulated
that plat of the survey of the rail
road should be made and filed within

TO GROW OHIO NSETS.

Those who desire Il grow their own
onion sets will be interested in the follow
ing directions from the Oregon expert
ment station for the growing of same.
Many market gardeners and others grow
their own sets, because they can produce
them cheaply, and then they will always
know that they have what they want.
The manner of producing onions for
sets is the following: The soil should
be of an inferior quality, such as has
been run out by constant cropping. but
should be of such texture as to permit of
good cultivation; that is. it should be
easy to work-a poor sandy loan would
be preferable The important thing is 10
keep the sets from becoming too large,
and In order to overcome this. il is advis-
able to SOW fifty-five to sixty opunds of
seed to the acre.
The seed may be sown as late as the
last week in May or the first week in
June. Sowing the seed so thick causes
the seedlings to be so crowded that it
prevents their making very large
growth In sowing the seed a rather
wide drill should be made so that the
seed may be spread out sufficiently. II
the sets should grow too large these
should be picked out and sold for pick
ling purposes. To prevent the sets from
becoming too large, they may be pulled
up and harvested when large enough As
a rule. harvesting may be done the early
part of August. thus giving ample tins
for drying well before fall rains set in.
taking care TO house them when perfectly
dry. The sets may be three-fourths inch

NEW VEGETABLES.

The department OF agriculture is max
ing experiments with many new vege-
tables, which are expected to prove useful
in this country, if the people can be per-
suaded to grow them, says the Saturday
Evening Post. Its explorers are fetchlnn
them from various parts of the world, es-
pecially from Mexico, which is known 10
possess many food plants that would be
of much value if introduced into the
United States.
Among the available Mexican vegeta-
bles are various kinds Of peppers and
several species Of tomatoes. which are I'M
known to us For example there is the
'husk tomato which IS about the size
of a horse chestnut, and is contained In
q sort Of detachable rind that If removed
whe nthe fruit is ripe. as preliminary
to cooking IT, 1t is not good raw, but is
said TO be excellent when stewed or fried.
The Mexicans preserve it as a sweet
pickle.
Then there is a brand new kind of GU
cumber, which is quite an oddly In its
way, inasmuch as 1t explodes with loud
report when ripe. throwing its red seeds
to a distance It's chief use is as e medi-
cine, but the vine on which it grows is so
handsome as 10 be desirable for gardens.
More valuable is a giant okra. obtained
from Europe, which has pods five or six
times the ordinary size. Soon, doubtless,
It will be commonly grown in the this
country and will be obtainable in our
markets 1t has a delightful flavor.
Another European vegetable which I'm
Gle Sam wants to introduce is the tuber
of a plant that looks a good deal like a
marsh grass. 1t is only about as big as
a hazel nut and when eaten raw resem-
bles a eocoanut in flavor. This is called
"chervil." and may be cooked in a variety
OF ways. The plant is kind of sedge.
Special attention is being paid to the
cultivation of new pot herbs on the ex-
pertinent farm which the government
maintains near Washington. and the seeds
of the best of these. whe ma sufficient
supply has been obtained will be DISTRICT
uted to farmers and gardeners. Notable
among them is a plant from India called
'baseli," which bears fruit that looks like
little blackberries. 1t is a vine, has pink
blossoms resembling those of the arbutus
and said to be delicious.
1t is always difficult to persuade people
to eat new things. a fact Of which the
common tomato, which a generation ago
was considered poisonous in New Eng
land affords familiar illustration. New
ertheless every new vegetable is an i'm
portant addition to our happiness and
welfare, and even a novelty in the way
of a pot herb is a contribution not to be

favored plate of soup or dish of stew.
