 According to the call of the eXecu- tive committee of the territory. the del egates to the Tucson convention must be selected in one or two ways:
 O) By electing delegates by pri- mary election to a convention; this convention to name delegates to Tue son; @ By electing delegates to the Tucson convention by direct primaries.
 II it is impossible for you to attend this meeting, signify your wishes on the enclosed blank and it will be voted accordingly.
 Yours very truly,
 By order of F.. A. FOLSOM,
 R. A. KIRK, Secretary.
 This official call was not only re- ceived by each member of the commit tee, but was commented on and eX- plained in the county papers. notably the Douglas Daily Dispatch, so that every member of the committee was fully informed before coming in to at tend the meeting. and the chairman and secretary were most certainly ad- vised as early as March 9th, the date of this call. In fact, there was ap- parently every intention of following the call of the executive committee un- til the very day of the meeting. on which date there were present in Bis bee three high territorial officials. and it is common report that as a result of their activity the majority of the committee suffered from lack of mem ory as to ever having been advised of the action of the executive committee, and proceeded to disregard and ignore the same, although before any action was taken l myself read the territorial call in full to the committee then and there assembled. and fully informed them on all points. In passing, it will be noted that only 2S members. less than one-half of the whole committee were present in person at this meeting and that the delegation as chosen is entirely made up of members of the central committee. with the exception of J. E. Morrison It is generally un- derstoOd here that trade was made whereby the self-appointed delegation is to support the governor in every way, regardless of the wishes of the republicans of Cochise county, and in return are to have the naming of one of the two delegates to Chicago. the man selectied said to be Hoval A.

PROPOSED FOUNDING
 OF AN ITALIAN COLONY
Banker Morosino of New York Out lines the Plan of a Settlement in This Valley.

Prosper Bordone yesterday received a letter from M. Morosino the cele- brated Italian banker of New York making inquiry about land in this vicinity on which to establish an Ital- ian colony. MT Morosino states that he is acting for a syndicate composed of Italian bankers, capitalists and philanthOpists of this county and Italy.
 The plans Of the syndicate had al ready been pretty well studied out and in a general way il is desired to found a colony on the lines of the colony at Cuckamunga, California That colony however has not quite met with the expectations of the founders and MT Morosino believes that the conditions here are more favorable.
 The enterprise is partly philanthropic and partly for profit. It is proposed to purchase 2000 acres of land one of half of which is to be converted into a great vineyard and the other half to be cut into homes for the colonists The land must be cheap and MT. Morosino recommends that it be pur- chased for the government He is familiar with the values of irrigated lands in the valley which are beyond the reach of the syndicate. It is there fore proposed to secure raw land as conveniently situated as possible on which crops may be raised partly by dry farming and partly by irrigation by means of pumping plants of which there is to be one to every ten-acre tract.
 Mir. Bordone is requested to forward information regarding such land as is described whereupon an agent of the syndicate will be sent on to Phoenix ot investigate and close the transaction it possible.
 Signor r. Corte then Italian consul general at Denver visited Phoenix about two years ago and was struck by the advantages which he believed this region opened to Italian colonies. The conditions here he said were sim liar to those in many parts of Italy except in the matter of congestion of population. He said that one of the duties of Italian consuls was to make a study of conditions within their va riOus jurisdictions with reference to- suitability for Italian colonies and he said that he would report the result of his observations here to his govern ment.

AND WE THOUGHT WE HAD A
 NAVY.

Our battleships are out of date Says Mir. Henry Reuterdahl; our gunners never could shoot
 straight;
 We might as well have none at all Their armor is too light and low. Their turrets death traps only; Some day they'll all to fragments blow And leave us sad and lonely" And should they ever chance to meet Some real ships in battle. Why Henry says our poor old fleet Would run like frightened cattle. But say. Hen. what strange cause took
 hence
 That erstwhile Spanish nation? Was it the hand of Providence. Or was it gravitation? O Henry go and soak your head, And then go buy a book Entitled "U. s. History" And OCT it's glorious pages look. But even Henry Reuterdahl Would be entirely satisfied, And others just as critical, With milk and cream from the Val
 ley Pride.

Tho Apple Orchard.

The ideal orchard is made from
trees which have been transplanted
two or three times. They are first set
foot apart in the row. These rows
may be six feet apart. Here they
are cultivated. During this time the
ground for the orchard is prepared
by deep and thorough cultivation.
Pruning should be done annually.
The fruit should be severely thinned
from the start. Color, texture and
flavor are affected by fertilizers, of
which potash is of the first import
ance. Choice apples are in demand,
but growing them is work for spec
ialist. Unproductive trees may be
made to bear by root and top prun-
ing if they are thrifty, but IL they
are weak they may be ruined. n
The relative merits Of clean Gull
ture and sod mulch received consid-
cradle attention and resulted in a
spirited controversy. 1t was gener-
ally conceded that cultivated or
chard is the more productive, but a
sod mulch saves labor and expense
The fruit on exhibition from sod or
chards was smaller, but more highly
colored and Grmer.
