ESTATE OF 5000 ACRES
CherrydaIe Stock Farm the
Home of the Percheron.
Evolution From Sheep Range to Pro-
duction of Best Strain of Horse
Flesh to Be Seen.

The writer had the privilege OF spend
ing Saturday and Sunday at Cherrydale
Stock Farm. Phil Cox K Sons are the
owners Of this magnificent Inheritance.
The principal home buildings fill large
space in what is known as Alkall flat,
which stretches from Hay on the o. X. 4
n. to within seven miles OF COliaX, but III
reality it is a beautiful valley, from a
quarter to half mile in width, with
gently slOping and lOw-iying hills guard
ing it on either side A sparkling stream,
fed by numerous springs along its
course, affords an ample supply OF water
for both man and beast the entire year.
This charming spot in nature, where
contentment reigns and the flowers
bloom and the lark pipes it's sweet song,
might be compared TO the beautiful val
ley of Rasselas, that wonderful creation
of the mind of DR.. Johnson. This par
ticular spot ID three miles from Hay and
"a miles by road from Colfax.
The Cox estate covers an extent OF
5000 acres. 1t runs four miles north
and south and three mites east and
west, extending to the Snake river, the
nearest point being 21a miles. This land
is oil fenced with barbed wire, and is not
exclusively a stock farm, although that
is the main feature, but diversified farm

One hundred and forty head of horses,
mostly thoroughbred PerchprOns, reg

ed 400 head OF hogs, big and little, a
cross of the Poland China and the Jersey
red ; over $50 chickens, producing II
dozen eggs a day; % stands OF bees,
which thrive and produce as clear and
sweet tasting honey as ever came from
Southern California, besides work horses
and milk cows are to be seen. We turn
to look at the orchard, planted IA years
ago, containing 400 trees, and are soon
made acquainted with the fact that this
is great fruit belt. The extreme heat
Of the Snake river section is avoided as
well as the more biting cold and frOsts
that are likely to prevail few miles
farther north and east. Eleven acres
are set out to Bing cherries, with one
long row to peach trees, containing HOO
trees, which are now in bloom and form
a sight worth going miles to see. Six
hundred acres are sOWn to wheat and
barley and 400 acres is ready to be
planted to corn. The latter crop is for
the hogs, and they are allowed to har-
vest the crop themselves. To alfalfa 30
acres is devoted, which grows and thrives
without irrigatian, two crops being cut
each season.
Mr.. Cox settled on this land in 1880.
At that time the country was one vast
stock range, it belonging to everybody
and nobody, a sort OF no mans land, it
being considered of little value except as
a stock range. Cherrydale Farm may
be said to be the evolution from a sheep
hearder's range to that OF the most

AN APPEAL TO LAWYERS
Judge Suggests Higher Stand
ard of Ethics.
Supreme Court Justice Brewer Asks
Legal Profession to Decline
Dishonest Work.

New York, April 22.-United States
supreme court Justice David j. Brewer
pleaded for higher standard Of ethics
IN the legal profession in an address be-
fore the Ethical Culture society in Car
negie hall yesterday. Justice Brewer, in
beginning his remarks, said that no pro-
tessiOn was SO often and so wrongfully
attacked as was the legal profession,
and then be added:
''ls it strange that there should be so
much criticism of the bar? We must re-
member that the wisdom of the law.
maker can never keep pace with the
ingenuity of trained minds seeking to
evade legal limitations. The old saying
that holes may be found in every law
means simply that an ingenious lawyer
can often find either in the statute itself
or in the mode of enforcement some way
to escape from its penalties. 1t is this
which prOvOkes the frequent remarks
that the law so seldom reaches the rich,
Tor the rich can pay for the brainiest,
and the brainiest can most certainly and
quickly discover the means of evasion
As against this | appeal for a higher
standard OF ethics. | appeal to every
lawyer to put his heart alongside his
head, to mix his conscience with his
brains. Let him have the courage to
say to bis client: 1t may be legal but
il is dishonest and | will have nothing
to do with it, Is this asking too much
OF the prOfessiOD?"

very little of these lands at that time,
considering them worthless except for
range purposes, and were on the point
at one time Of turning them back to the
government.
The Cox home on this magnificent
estate is one Of comfort, mingled with
luxury. A large two story house, hard
finished, with baths and all modern con

WILL DIG A NEW WELL
Water Supply at EIberton to
Be Further Tested.
Gravity System Preferred if Supply
is Sufficient We Have River
Water as Dernier Resort.

1t will be seen by referring to the city
council proceedings published elsewhere
that the water committee il instructed
to dig another well at ElbertOn. Work
will begin at once. The new we'll will
cost less than $500, hence there will be
no delays in advertising, etc. Ii the
scheme works as expected several other
wells will be sunk, enough to give an
adequate supply of water for all pur-
poses. If it fails some other plan will
have to be worked out. The question
has been asked, Why not dig wells nearer
home the ground here ia full of water?
This NAV be true, but the city has eX-
pended $50, 900 in putting in gravity
system from ElbertOn, while from wells
here il would require the pumping sta
tiOn to be constantly at work to keep
the reservoir filled. The water from Ell
berton until lately has been sufficient to
supply all demands of the purest spring
water for all purpOses-dOmestic,s street
sprinkling, lawn and garden cultivation,
as we'll as for use in case of fire. Of
late, however, the supply has somewhat
lessened, although the causes leading up
to it are not fully known. The digging
of a new well may give results.
OF course, it must not be understood
that COlfax ia short Of water. 1t is the
quality, not the quantity Of water that
troubles Us We always have the two
branches Of the Palouse river to draw
from az a dernier resort. That is Just
as good for putting out fire or for
g rect sprinkling as any other water, but
it is unfit for domestic purposes and
must not be used any longer than neces-
slry. The mayor and the common
furnish the city with pure water in the
shortest time nOasible

Establish Wheat Laboratory

Washington, April 20.-In the inter
est of eastern Washington wheat raisers.
Senator Piles is endeavoring to induce
the government to establish wheat
laboratory on Puget sound. He hopes
to succeed and TO get an appropriation
tor the purpose next year. European
buyers of American grains have been
complaining Of the variation in grades
which makes exports from this country
less valuable TO them, although the Pa
cIhc coast states send the most nearly
uniform grades. The establishment OF a
laboratory, however, will operate to
benefit the coast producers. Portland
wants the laboratory and will make an
effort to get it there, instead of at Puget
sound.

PIucky Young Ladies
 Secure Concession

What pioneers have passed up as waste land and what enterprising male real estate agents in this section have overlooked, two women from St. Joseph, Missouri, have secured. The women are Helen kimber and Miss Nellie Howard, who have amassed a comfortable fortune from real estate transactions. They were in Tucson yesterday and left yesterday afternoon for Sono:a
 The Tucson Citizen says that they have secured a concession from the Mexican government which includes 2,OOO, 900 acres oi mineral, timber and agricultural lands. With keen busi- ness foresight they realized the future values of these lands would be great. They have had the concession but a few months but nevertheless they have already made sufficient leases to more than pay for the expenses incurred in securing the concession.
 It is stated that the young ladies are interested in a railroad which is planned to connect with one of the Sonora lines now in course Of cons iruotioH.
