EDISON LOOKS AHEAD
Sees the Extinction Of the Horse, the Oru6 Store and Disease VIII Bene-
 Ut the Human Family.

The extinction of the horse and drug store are some of the things the future hasin store for us, according to prophe- cies uttered by Thomas A. Edison, the great inventor.
 Some of the great problems of the new year he regards as how to fight bacteria, to get electricity direct from the coal and more extended applica- tion of electricity to manufacturing.
 He promises to have his new storage battery on the market this month, and declares it will solve the traction prob lem and that it's introduction will mean that the horse will have to go. He continued:
 The wireless telegraph I expect to see perfected for commercial purposes, if not fully so in 1903, at least ad- vanced toward that end. The right kind of man is working at it-a prac- tical man, an earnest man-and have confidence in him.
 As to the objection that messages may be tapped, that's as far as the Objectors can see now. That may be true tonight: tomorrow it may be different.
 "I'am not interested in the flying machine. I could never see any com mercial use for it. have never had time to read much about it.
 I expect to see electricity supplant steam as motive power. In fifteen years electricity will he the railway motive power. Ninteen hundred and three will advance it in that direction.
 Medicine is played out. Every new discovery of bacteria shows us all the more cOnvincingly that we have been wrong and that the million tons of stuff that we have taken was all useless.
 "The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will instruct his pa tient in the care of the human frame, in diet and the cause and prvention of disease. Surgery, diet, antiseptics, these three are vital things of the fu- ture in the preservation of the health of humanity"

The United Verde sme,ter ,d,s.

The U. V. smelter is again shut down on account of shortage of coke the shortage being caused by the Santa Fe's inability to deliver the coke over it's lines. This is the second shut down of the United Verde during the past two months from the same cause, and coming as it does so soon after the complete suspension of work at that mine for three months, it works an extra hardship on the workingmen and merchants of Jerome. There is nothing new to report about the fire in the mine. They are still forcing gas onto the fire and so long as they con- tinue to do this, nothing of an encour- aging nature can be gathered from the situation here. The low price of cop per, fire in the mine and a continued shortage in the supply of coal and coke is hard proposition to face. But we are promised by those who are thoroughly acquainted with the situ- ation, that when these difficulties are overcome, Jerome will stand out prom inently as one of the most prosperous mining camps in the southwest. This, it is predicted, will be within the next three months, and it is earnestly hoped the prophecy will prove true. e.-Jerome News.

 The Auditorium was crowded last night with people to witness the nov ing picture show of Beaty Bros.. It is very seldom that company receives the fiattering reception accorded these entertainers, and there was no com plaint to offer when the last picture was flashed on the canvas.
 The photograph concert opened krst, and was entertaining to all who heard it. There was but short wait befo'e the pictures appeared. In them the,e was so many good things that it oIld be impossible to specialize. The whole entertainment was very cle'rerly produced and gave universal satisfaction.

 Mrs. Johanna Soderholm of Fergus Falls, Minn., fell and dislocated her shoulder. She had a surgeon get it back in place as soon as possible, but it was quite sore and pained her very much. Her son mentioned that he had seen Chamberlain's Pain Balm adver- tised for sprains and soreness, and she asked him to buy her bottle which he did. It very quickly relieved her and enabled her to sleep which she had not done for several days. The son was so much pleased with the re- lief it gave his mother that he has since recommended it to many others. For sale by Pioneer Drug Store.
 Three Thewssnd Dollar Fire st Mccsbc.
 The hotel building at McCabe, own ed by Ed Wager, was totally destroyed by fire early New Years morning, says the Prescott Courier. It is esti- mated that the loss will be fully 5000, with no insurance, owing to the fact that since September 10th no policies have been issued by any company on any building used for a hotel or saloon purposes. This is not Mir. Wager's first loss by fire at McCabe, another being destroyed about year ago. It is thought the origin of these fires was of incendiary nature.
 The peculiar cough which indicates croup, is usually we'll known to the mother of croupy children. No time should be lost in the treatment of it, and for this purpose no medicine has received more universal approval than Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Do not waste valuable time in experiment. ing with untried remedies, no matter how highly they may be recommended, but give this medicine as directed and all symptoms of croup will quickly disappear.

or grains, hence are less valuable TO
the horticulturist and the farmer than
those which have been brought into
subsection through the instrumentslity
OF human arts. For the mo.t perfect
fruits. flowers and grains one has to go
to Italy and Morocco, to Egypt and
California lands that are made pro-
ductive BY irrigation and painstaking
cultivation.
II the records made by strawberry
growers and orchardists in the course
OF this article seem astonishing at
their prodigality to oar readers in Mis-
souri, and Michigan. in Kentucky and
New York they mus, attribute the re.
suits to superiority of climate and to
= system Of irrigation that awakens
the potentialities Of the soil to an ex-
tent unknown in those communities
which rely upon the natural precipita-
tion Of moisture for the growth and de-
vel,.pment Of their vegetation.
With view OF gathering statistics,
to be tabuiated in the course OF the
current summer for the purpose Of
directing the attention OF non-residents
to the adaptabiIity Of the Arkansas
valley for fruit growing, the writer
spent day among the ranchmen OF
Four Mile and Fruitmere last week,
and was afforded the utmost apportuni-
~ for the prosecution OF his investiga-
tions which were confined principally
to gathering data in regard To the late
strawberry crop, which received .
large accretion from those places.
Fruit growers on this side of the
river contend that their soil is betssr.
adapted TO the growth and propagation
of Strawberries than the land on
Lincoln Park. but that is thing apart
anil is matter which it is not our
province to discuss. Both seem to us
to be first-class for this purpose and in
each locality some phenomenal yields
are chronicied in spite Of the heavy
frosts which visited the valley while
the plants were in the zenith Of their
bloom.
A remarkable thing in connection
With the strawberry crop this year was
the length OF the season the berries
we're in market. one dealer reporting
having purchased them from home
growers for 4 period of forty-eight
days. This fact was due TO the excep-
tionsl humidity Of the month Of Juae,
the rainfall during that time being for
greater than usual. In some instances
rsnchers assert that their crops of ber-
ries was materially injured by the wet
weather. although the uncommon
length of the season probably more
than compensated the growers as a
body for the losses sustained in indi-
vidual cases from the cause mentioned.

Growing Seeds For Market.

The matter of growing garden seeds
for market is one, which, in our opinion,
is not given the attention it deserves
by the people of the Arkansas valley.
The climate and soil here appears to be
specially adaptable for the successful
prosecution OF this industry, which
has assumed large proportions in some
sections of the country, particularly in
New England and the Middle states
where the conditions for enterprises of
this kind are far less favorable than
here. Experience has shown that
seeds grown under irrigation possess
an unusual degree of reliability and
they are therefore in constant demand
At good prices. Although something
has been done along the line indicated
the industry as still in its infancy, and
is capable of almost infinite expansion,
the success thus far attained warrant
ing belief in its future. The variety
Of vegetable and garden seeds now
grown here are of necessity limited, as
it is an industry that cannot be
established At once, but the number
will undoubtedly be increased from
year to year until Colorado seed cata-
logues will contain as complete an N.
sortment Of everything for the gar
den" a. the Lists of the most famous
seed growers in the country.
