In every newspaper we pick up we are sure to find gush about the man behind the counter and the man behind the gun; the man behind the buzz saw and the man behind the son; the man behind the times and the man behind the rents; the man behind the plowshare and the man behind the fence; the man behind the whistle and the man behind the cars; the man behind the kodac and the man behind the bars; the man be- hind his whiskers, the man behind his fists, and everything behind has entered on the list.

the discussion on this subject (tax on cattle in reserves) which was to have taken place at this weeks meeting was postponed until next week.
 The president reported that he had had a conference with Mir. H. T. Herr of the Duquesne Mining & Reduction Company relative to the matter of improving the Du- quesne road, and that MT. Herr had expressed his appreciation of the kindness of the Nogales mer- chants and others in contributing to the fund, but that as other methods of transportation had been decided upon, he thought that it would not be necessary to further widen the Duquesne road. and suggested that subscribers to the fund be reimbursed to the amounts which they contributed to the special fund for that purpose. Doubtless this matter of getting back their money will deal stag gering blow to our merchants, but as it will be tempered by the joy of the prospect of the speedy con struction of the Duquesne Railroad to Nogales, they will doubtless be able to bear up under the affiiction.
 After discussion concerning ar engagements for the annual meet ing and banquet of the board on the first Tuesday in August the board adjourned.

The report also showed that there had been received during the month four letters of inquiry and thirteen general letters, and that during the same time forty three letters and 1534 pieces of literature had been sent out, by mail; and that 192 pieces of liter ature had been distributed by ex- press and in other ways during the same period.
 The secretary reported that he had received valuable pamphlets on dry farming and kindred sub- jects from the Agricultural Depart ment, and was instructed by the Board to send out information on these subjects to the farmers of the county.

MINING LAW CHANGES.
Recomend stions Expected to be Re- ported Upon Shortly by Minister of Fomento.

Mexico City.-The mining cham Der of Mexico expects to shortly hold a special meeting at which every member will be present, for the purpose of presenting the decis- ion of the department of fomento with regard to the proposed re- forms to the mining law as sub- mitted by Lie. Jose Luis Requena, Lie. Rodolfo Reyes, Lie. Manuel Ortega Espinosa and by Neg. Ed uardo Martinez Baca and Joaquin Ramos.
 Vice President Jose Luis Reque- na of the mining chamber stated yesterday that the proposed re- forms of the mining law were sub mitted to the department of fo- mento through acting minister AL dasoro, who afterwards referred the matter to the present minister of fomento, Lie. Olegario Molina, who now has the project under study.
 When the mining chamber was organized about one and half years ago, the very important subject of denunciations of coal lands and oil fields within private property was discussed, and Lies. Requena and Reyes presented study to the gov ernment, with an exhaustive eview abounding with important details, which the government referred to the academy of jurisprudence for decision.
 That subject and many others not less important constitute the reforms introduced by the members of the committe on revision to the new law which is now under study in the fomento department and as these reforms vitally affect the min ing industry throughout the repub- I lie, the decision of Minister Molina Is anxiously expected

ner. The secret of success lies Tn the fact that the dry farmer must never stop work. In the older fields of the East and the South there are periods of indolence which follow the "laying by" time, or the harvest, and the farmer may turn his thoughts to barbecues, fishing excursions, or simply go lie out under the trees and follow Riley's plan of "seein' just how lazy he can be-"
 Not so with the sturdy man who goes to conquer the land of the West. Even as eternal vigilance is the acknowledged price of peace. so is tireless industry the price of his prosperity. The minute a few drops of rain fall he is out in his field with disk harrow to stir the soil and powder it so fine that the moisture may not rise again. He stirs 1t this way year before he plants his seeds. He stirs it while the seeds are sprouting until he is in danger of injuring the germinat- ing plant, and ceases only when the plants are large enough to make a protecting shade for the soil. The minute the crop is cut he does not sit idle and think of his profits on that crop. Instead he follows the harvester that same day with sub-soil blows and has his land all ready for the next planting, letting it lie fallow until then.
 Modern invention has come to the aid of the dry farmer. Giant machines minimize time and labor for him. Across the broken, virgin soil of the prairie 30-horse power engine passes, dragging in its wake an aggregation of agricul- tural machinery that includes twelve inches blows, two iron rol- lers, two clod crushers, two seed drills and other necessary things. It leaves behind it a stretch of brown, pulverized soil in which the seeds lie hidden for the com ing crop.
 This giant prepares and seeds thirty-fve acres of land in work ing day of ten hours at a cost of about 90 cts. per acre. By the old method the time would have been many days, and with horses as motive power, would have cost $5 per acre.
 The ordinary farmer on the 1 plains plants forty quarts of wheat to the acre and has a return of anywhere from nothing to twenty bushels. The dry farmer plants twelve quarts of wheat. practices care, intelligence and endless cul- tivation, and has a return of from thirty-fve to tifty-six bushels per acre. It is claimed by advocates of dry farming that these methods in Kansas would have raised her 1905 yield of twelve and a half bushels an acre to thirty-seven. They also claim that one per cent of the money spent on irrigation, if expended in the teaching of dry farming, would mean the reclama- tion of 500,000 acres of desert land. The dry farmers do not disapprove of irrigation.

DRY FARMING.
Intelligent Application of the System
 Proves a Great Success.

From the Canadian border on tbe north to the Rio Grande on tbe south, and from the Rocky Mountains westward almost to the sea. lies that great strip of land known to geographers as Arid America. Twelve hundred miles long and thirteen hundred miles wide, it comprises an area equal to about one-third of that continental United States, exclusive of Alaska. Here lie vast domains of public lands, 600,000,000 acres in all, be- side railroad grants and school lands, and 70,000,000 acres are known as desert land.
 Yet in this desert country there lie, so scientists and practical farm CTS tell us, the possibilities for fulfilling the old Biblical prophecy that "the waste places may be made glad and that the desert will blos- som as the rose" writes Fledric J. Haskin in the Pittsburg Dispatch. It will need no miracle to prove this, and little outside influence to bring it about. It will mean only a scientific use of the material nat ure already has at hand. This method by which the desert land is to be redeemed is known as ''dry farming" and its principle is the very simple one of conserv- ing every particle of moisture that falls during the year, not in large reservoirs nor in expensive concrete dams, but in the soil itself. A year before the crop is to be planted the farm land is plowed deeply by special machinery. Strong disk blows not only pulverizing the sub- soil, but packing it into firm bed through which the conserved water may not sink, and through which the excessive salts which usually lie four or five feet below the sur face may not rise by evaporation to burn and blight vegetation.
 On this sub-soil the surface is pulverized to such a fneness by special machinery that 1t seems 1t must have been done by the fin gers. This makes a mulch through which the rain and melted snow may percolate to rest on the packed sub-soil beneath, but through which no moisture can rise. It demon- strates the physical law of capillary attraction, for moisture most easily rises through moist channels, just as oil rises more quickly in lamp wick which has been saturated with oil than it does in a dry wick. Lecturers in demonstrating their theory have represented the damp sub soil with a lump of loaf sugar sprinkled over with powder ed sugar. When the lump is wet the powder is dry.
 The pioneer dry farmer of Amer lea and of the world, for that mat ter, was H. w. Campbell of Lincoln. Nebraska. Over twenty years ago he evolved this theory, and having the courage of his convictions put 1t into practice. From the James to the Arkansas river he has tried 1t on all former waste places, and has made good. Others have fol- lowed in the wake of the Spanish bayonet, the yucca, greasewood and sagebrush, and these are fast giv-
