Austin, Texas. dispatch: The federal

At the time OF the arrest the men

When the Republicans of Arizona get through fighting among them selves. they invariably begin on the Mormons. few discontented Apa- che county Republicans thought they saw too much harmony between the Mormons and the Democrats, and in obedience to the commands of the territorial Republican bosses a war has been inaugurated against these people The records of the Arizona courts show that the most law abid- ing citizens within her confines are the Mormons. and it further discloses that where these people reside con- tentment and prosperity prevail. Green fields. happy homes, and sobrie, ty mark the pathway of the Arizona Mormons. and all the persecution that the administration can bring to bear cannot mar or destroy the unity and prosperity of these citizens.-Enter- prise.

NO MORE CHINESE
 LAsORERs NEEDED.

The acticn of the Chamber of Com merce of the city Of Portland in asking for a new Chinese exclusion treaty which will permit se,O0O Chi nese laBorers to come to America ev- cry year during the next decade will certainly not meet with the approval of the country and it is to be hoped that President Roosevelt will not re- ceive it favorably
 This country is not in need of any more Chinese labor and it would be far better to lose the trade of Chinese merchants than so flood this country again with this cheap and abhorent class Of all classes of labor there is nole so objectionable as the Chi nese ooolie. He viii live on 10 to 15 cents a day where the average laborer in this country will require five times as much to sustain him. The Chinese in this country have proved 10 be more objectionable than any other class of foreigners and by the law excluding them the country Is gradually being rid of them and to now open the door and invite S0.O0O a year would soon flood the country with them.
 A Chinaman will spend nothing n the country except for barely enough food to keep his miserable body to- gether; what he earns above that he will return to China Such labor is not wanted in this country and we do not believe that the people will ever consent to any change in the present law excluding the Chinese coolie. They are now practically out of the country and they should be kept out.

WOULD REDUCE RANGER FORCE.

Once more the question is being discussed as to the advisability of reducing the Ranger force of the ter ritory one half, and thus not only cut the expense of the service in two, but also cut the force down to the work 1t was originally intended to perform.
 The Ranger force as it was original ly intended. is undoubtedly one of the best institutions the territory has ever possessed, but the times have improved until it does not now sesm necessary to maintain so large a force, and with the press and the people both anxious for the change it seems probable that Gov. Kibbey will soon turn his personal attention to the matter and regulate it ss the condi tions warrant
 We have always been strong ad- mirers of the ranger force and Mo renci has had the opportunity of know ing the worth of its support, but we believe the case should be a most UT gent one to call them in from the hills

ARIZONA RANGE cONDITlCNS.

The future of the public range is a matter that largely concerns every range cattleman in the southwest. The subject has been receiving much at tention and thought of late and the following extract on the subject. from the biennial report of the live stock sanitary board of Arizona, will not be without interest:
 What will be the future Of the range in Arizona? The whole area of the territory comprises about 75.OOO GOO acres, less , per cent of which is sus- ceptible of being reclaimed by irri- gation within a cost not exceeding what would be its market value after reclamation had been accomplished. The remaining 95 per cent is a cattle range the ownership of which is at present vested principally in the Unit ed States government. Obviously. any plan which will cause these lands to be made more productive will be wei comed by the people of the territory At present the use of these lands as 2 public range for cattle is unrestrict- ed by law, and no rental is required by the government. It has been sug- gested that these lands be leased by the people engaged in the live stock industry in large tracts. and for suf- ficiently long terms, to admit of their improvement by iuclosing under fence and re-seeding them to such grasses and forage plants as will grow there on; and the development of water by wells. impounding reservoirs, or other Wise for domestic use and the water Ing of stock. There is no incentive ct present for the individual cattle own er to expend money in this way, for the reason that he may not enjoy the exclusive benefits of his investment. The Improvement of his range would only invite others io bring additional cattle to his range. Surely the ieas- ing or homesteading of the range in reasonably large areas would give an opportunity for improvement, but 1t should only be applicable to such lands as are practically irreclaimable by irrigation; and the monoply by large companies should be carefully guarded against Greater productive ness would mean more people. better and more permanent homes. more as sessable property and a lower rate of taxation.
 The propagation of such forage plants and grasses as will grow upon the arid lands and furnish food for cattle is matter of deep interest to the people of this territory. In his relation it is appropriate to mention the spineless cactus. recently produc- ed by Professor Burbank. If this plant is all that is hoped for. it means that the productiveness of the arid lands may be increased a hundred fold.

DESERT WHEAT.

Robert Gauss. a son of Carl Gauss.
 the eminent German mathematician.
 is conducting a series of experiments
 in artificial selection of wheat for cul-
 tivation in the arid regions. in which
 the department of agriculture has be
 come interested.
 The idea that Gauss has been try
 ing to develop is that by systematic selection of the most perfect grains of wheat produced with the smallest
 amount of moisture. a type may ulti-
 mately be obtained which can be profitably and successfully grown in the so-called arid regions under the natural conditions existing therein.
 It is an attempt at Q practical ap- plication of the Darwinian theory of natural selection and the survival of the fittest and the adaptation of vege- table as well as animal life to its en- yironments.
 That the agricultural department has taken up these experiments. with a disposition to aid the scientist. has been cause for a good deal of ridicule for the effort, being but a further ef- fort to discredit the work of that de- partment of the government, in which it is alleged. large sums of money are expended without definite results But the department will be wasting no money in aiding experiments of this nature.
 The field of natural selection and adaptation in plant life is practically unlimited. The experiments Gauss is making toward the production of grain of wheat which will sprout and mature in the arid wastes of the coun- try. should they be successful, will add immensely to the food productive power of not only our own country, but the world at large. We know of what value it would be to Arizona, to those sections which cannot be put under irrigation now and which proba- bly, never can be put under irrigation. 1 Such wheat would be of vast value not only to the western states. but to portions of India. north and cen tral Africa, and the wastes of central Asia.
 There should be no disposition to ridicule these experiments impossible as success may seem at first glance. rt s- th-o.,,,L ,o-oF,-f artfFfrsoq cala1- ton that most of the vegetable and animal products used by man for his and employed by him in his service, have been obtained. The theory on which Gauss has been work ing for some years seems to be sound, ] for even in the cultivation of ordinary wheat, grain selection for seeding purposes is recognized as the. only wise way to a successful crop by all intelligent farmers. If a particular kind of wheat is found more suitable for cultivation in the Dakotas than in Missouri, and if the grain best adapt ed to Missouri soil and climate is not the same as that which it has been found will make the best crop in Ore gon, why it is not reasonable to ex- pect some measure of success in se- lecting a grain which will grow with even less moisture and in a different soil from any of these sections?
