The change in condition throughout was accomplished by large govern mental expenditure, a progressive people and extended railroad facilities promoted and maintained by the Frisco System, operating as it does, nearly 700 miles of railway in the i'm mediate Mississippi valley, less than 300 miles distant from St. Louis.

Business Talk to Advertisers.

The Journal Miner is not giveu to puffing itself but a suggestion to ad- vertisers at the present time is not out of place. The suggestion is made to business men who advertise for business purposes and not for charity's sake, or fer PeIsonal req sons. The Journal Miner knows whereof it speaks when it says that it has the largest list of subscribers of any paper published in Prescott and is willing to submit proofs of this fact Advertising merit is based en- tirely upon circulation and the busi- ness man who advertises for results appreciates this.
 The man who wants to make a big display for the least possible outlay of money, of course will not be at tracted by this announcement and while the Journal Miner solicits ad- vertising solely Sits merits it wants a reasonable living price for the same.

Under Sheriff Sias Skips.

"Jim' Sias, who has occupied the position of under sheriff for Sheriff Roberts for the past year or so, has been missing ever since Sunday, July 24. File was seen around town on the above date and Sheriff Roberts re- ceived word that he was seen in Ash Fork on the evening of that day.
 Nothing was given out in re- gard to it until after the last is sue of the weekly was published, as it was thought he might return. An in vestigation of the sheriff's books showed an apparent shortage in his accounts and Sheriff Roberts employ ed c. A. Peter, of the Bank of Ari- zona to 90 through the books and make a thorough examination of them, The Courier says that it has been informed that Sias was former ly a democrat, intimatlng that he had changed his politics. He has certain ly shown strog democratic symptoms recently. He did not add any to the popularity of the sheriff's office dur ing the period he was here, and his departure has created no interest in the community beyond the lit Ie sen- sation caused by his reported defal- cation and the further fact that he left a wife and two children un- provided for.
 All doubts in reference to Sias' absconding wc~e dispelled on Friday when Sheriff Roberts received by ex- press from him, from Fl Paso, his badge of office and his keys The To- cation of the place from which they were sent plainly indicated bis pur- pose also of crossing over into Mex ico, where he may imagine himself secure from arrest. This is the second time that Sias has deserted his family, his wife surprising him in Prescott a couple of years ago. just at time when he was eXecting to marry a very estimable young lady here, having until her arrival posed as an un- married man.

FERTILE VALLEY OF
 THE MISSISSIPPI.

While it is true Oklahoma, Indian Territory and Texas invite the home seeker and others in search of a profitable investment and business competency, there is another field along the Frisco System quite recent ly opened to those interested in a personal betterment of fnacial re- sources.
 On June 1st, the line of railroad heretofore known as the St. Louis. Memphsi x Southeastern (now Frisco System, was extended to St. Louis. thus making a territory in Missouri and Arkansas, along the west bank of the Mississippi river accessible by way of St. Louis.
 The present service consists of pas senger train leaving Union Station 7:l0 a. m. daily, for Cape Girardeau, LuXora, Charlottesville and inter- mediate points to Memphis, also the Cape Girardeau accommodation (daily), leaving Union Station 1 20 p. m.

AGRICULTURAL POSSIBILITIES.
Alaska Offers Promising Fields for
 Energetic Young Farmers.

Prof. True in his report on the
 government agricultural stations in
 Alaska shows clearly that farming for
 hay, grain and garden truck has gone
 beyond the experimental stage in
 nearly every section of the country
 where it has been tried.
 At Copper Center last year on the
 government farm managed by Mir.
 Neal, oats and barley of fine quality, aud in abundant crops were brought
 to perfection on soil that had never
 been previously cultivated. Grain scattered by feeding horses in winter may be found growing luxuriantIy in summer along the trail, though it was scattered on the snow. Grass is a natural product of the Copper River valley, where it grows in abundance wherever a suitable clearing exists, and under cultivation yields enor- mously. Cattle lost along the Copper river in the fall have been found the following summer in the best of con- dition. All of this goes to show that farming can be made a success in Alaska, and those who are early en- gagged in the business will find it par ticularly remunerative, and the market constantly increasing.
 Under present conditions hundreds of men are going through Valdez to the interior every year with pack or sled horses and are forced to take with them from three to four months feed for their horses, and experience has shown that it costs at least Is cents per poGnd to land this feed on the Copper river, and no one would haul in a supply If it could be secured on the river.
 The advent of a railroad and the consequent opening of the numerous mining properties, employing, as they hundreds of men the year round, would provide a still larger market for farm produce, and at very -emuneratiye prices. The Valdez Prospector says there is no place in he States affording so many oppor- 5unities to the farmer as does Alaska, | but he must be a farmer and not a ready to rush off to every reported strike.

{, Only few days ago the democratic leaders and the democratic press were branding the republican platform, adopted at Chicago, as platform of "cowardly evasion" They cackled over these words and played upon them for all they were worth-and more. "Cowardly evasion" was the keynote of every democratic criticism. And now, in their own cowardly evasion of the money question in their platform, what a beautiful chance they have given the republi- cans to put it back at them and ever lastingly ruD it in. We just want to see the democrat that can muster up the courage hereafter to throw up "cowardly evasion" to the republi- cans. You fellows who have been handling the "cowardIy evasion" billy, don't you feel like you had just heaved a little heave and fallen over in it?

Mir. Democrat, think of this. In nominating Parker for president, Mir.

Despite its deadly effect on horses and cattle analyses of the loco plant have failed to reveal poisonous or injurious principle. In fact, it has about the same feeding value as alfalfa. In spite of its apparent rich ness, experience shows that animals will practically starve to death on loco. There appears to be some sub stance to the plant, which the chem ists have been unable to find, that injures the brain cells, or else there is an absence of something in the plant which is essential to the proper nutrition of the brain.

TO PAY COLOMBIA
NATION MAY BE REIMBURSED
FOR THE TERRlToRYIT ITsHAs
LOST.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 29.-The
correspondent for the Chicago Inter
Ocean last night sent the following to
his paper:
"The intimation conveyed in these
dispatches several weeks ago that Co
lonlbia may be compensated for her
loss Of territory consequent upon the
revolt of Panams can be repeated at
this time. Negotiations are in prog
ress between Colombia and represent
tatives of the new Panama Canal COM
pany and the government of Panama
looking to the payment of money
consideration to Colombia. The Uni
ted States government is asking an i'm
portant share in the negotiations and
doing all that is possible to bring about
the deal. 1t is not impossible that 1t
will be accomplished.
ut will be observed that within the
past few weeks there has been COM
plete suspension of hostile moves by
Colombia against Panama. No war
like move has come from the isthmian
region for some time.
"The cessation of Colonbia's bellig-
erent preparation is due primarily to
the promptness of this government in
sending ships and marines to the 18TH
mus to prevent hostilities"

NO FIGHT IN

DIFFERENCE OVER TARIFF WILL
NOT ENTER STATE LEG
lsLATURE.
NO CHANCE FOR QUARREL
No Test Measures Have Been Intro.
duced and Probably None Will Be-
Legislators Are in Des Moines For
Business, and Expect No Trouble.

DeS Molnes, Jan. eff there is a
politician or any other person in the
state simbued with the idea that there
is going to be any factional row in
the legislature this winter he will find
himself sadly mistaken. A careful in
squiry among members of both factions
has developed one or two conclusions
which should be patent to every OBJ
server:
First-That neither side will indulge
in an unseemly row during this ses-
sion.
Second-That there will be no gen.
teral primary law enactment.
There is no occasion for connecting
the two propositions, but the latitude
Of the legislature on both sides seems
SO plain and obvious, right now, while
it is SO dim and feeting as to other
matters. that they are mentioned to-
gether though they bear no kinship.
Stand Patters Not in Fighting Mood.
There have been murmurs from the
very day that the session convened
that the stand pat element would make
an effort to have a fight with the other
fellows. There never has been any
thing to warrant it and the stand pat
element of the legislature has said and
done nothing but to take it's medi-
cine. 1t had no quarrel with the COM
mittee assignments, none with the or
ganization of the house, has none with
any part of the program which the
other fellows have devised and will
make no fight on any subject during
the session. Its members have been
quiescent all through the session SO
far and there is every reason to say
that they will make no disturbance
sdnring the REMAND Ter of the time. ALI
Irumors and murmurs relative to-, a
fight to come are without any founda-
tion, for there is no disposition any
where on the stand pat side to resist
any proposition the other side makes.
There being no disposition to resist of
course there can be no fight.
No Test Question.
No test question has arisen and none
will be allowed to, in all probability
That one side has been all powerful
in organizing the assembly is no sign
that it has the larger number of mem
bers of the legislature.
The stand pat element hasn't a
thing in the world against Governor
Cummins as governor and personally
They are here to do business as legis-
lators, and their difference with him
on the tariff question is not regarded
as any excuse for organizing fight ir
the assembly where the business o1
the people ought to be done without
regard to politics. There is no dispo-
sition to oppose his propositions OF
those of his friends, and the result will
be that there will be no fight in the
Thirtieth general assembly.
