There is more catarrh in this sec tion of the country than all other di- seases put together, and until the last few years it was supposed to be in- curable. For great many years doc. tors pronounced it q local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by con stantly failing to cure with local treat ment, finally pronunced it incurable Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment So it is that Halls Catarrh Cure, manu factured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,, Tole- do, O., is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoon full. It acts directly on the blood ani mucuous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address F. J.

ArizOnd'S Midsummer Contribution to Los
 Angeles

The Los Angeles Examiner estimates that Arizonan's will, the present season, contribute to that city's hotels, restaurants and resorts generally, $1 ,0O0, 0O0. The Examiners estimate is very conservative, we should say; in all probability they will contrib ute two or three times that amount, and will continue to do so each recurring season until the completion of the San Diego and Yuma railroad, when the greater part of the human tide will verge to the "Bay and Cli- mate" city to the southward.
 Speaking of the present rush to Eos Angeles John $. Mitchell, manager of the Hollenbeck hotel, is quoted thus:
 While there are some here all the year round," said MT. Mitchell, "they now are coming daily in ever-increasing numbers and when the Elks' grand lodge is held, they will be here by the hundreds.
 "So far as the general season is concerned there never are fewer than 5C00 in the season, and this year that number prom ises to be greatly increased. All parts of the territory and all lines of business will be repre-. scented.
 "When one considers that, ac- cording to M. c. Zumwalt, sec retary of the Tulare board of trade, now a guest in this hotel, that city does an annual business of $1,O00,OO0 with Arizona, he readily can see what Arizona friendship means to Angelenos."

Irrigation in Arizona.

Reports from all oyer the ter
 ritory would indicate that an ir- rigation boom was on. Thous- ands of acres of arid land will be
 reclaimed in the next five years and hundred thousand settlers will make Arizona their home. All that the desert areas require in this sunny land is water and capital is now coming forward to develop the life giving fluid. The cacti aud mesquite are giv- ing way to fields of golden corn, gram, wheat and alfalfa, while the eastern markets are being supplied with melons, fruits and vegetables, the first of the sea- son. Richest of waste areas in the territory are the lands of the great Sulphur Springs valley. It is only 8 question of short time when an artesian flow will be encountered and Courtland, now a progressive and growing mining camp, will be tine queeu city of a great agricultural dis trict and have a population of 50, ,OOO.-Courtland Arizonan.

Fly Grandmother's Garden.

In one corner was a tangle of sweet briar, or eglantine, thorny and forbidding to the touch, yet nevertheless q delight all the year round. In spring and early summer the tender leaves, wet
 with the dew and the rain, sent forth spicy odors that seemed to be the very breath of awaken ing life. Later it was clothed as with a garment by hundreds of blossoms, frail circlets of exqui- site pink petals with golden stamens at the center. In the autumn, behold! each blossom had become a gem, a seed vessel of ruby hue outshining the red dest leaves in brilliancy.
 Edgings of box were set along the borders. The popularity of box has Waned since then, but with it's compact growth and it's small, firm, shining leaves, it is still satisfactory plant. When vigorous and well cared for it has has clean, slightly bitter odor, the fragrance of eternity Dr. Holmes calls it. ''This," he says, is one ef the odors which carry us out time into the abyss es of the unbeginning past"
 One of the borders had also an edging of the striped or ribbon grass-a diminutive species of bamboo, and another of moss pink, a lowly heath-like plant, literally covered in early spring with mass of deep pink bloom.
 In our garden, according to the custom of the time, four beds were given to herbs useful in cooking or for simple household remedies. There was balm, soft and comfortable in aspect as in name; sage, with pretty, blue green leaves and ragged blue blossoms, thoroughwort or bone set, used for colds, and as spring tonic, wormwood, penny royal and saffron, the latter al- ways associated in my mind with measles. One bed was filled with small herbs, such as chiyes, mint, thyme, summer savory and pars- ley; another with something that was called por-marjoram, probably sweet marjoram. Over this bed, in the blossoming sea son, the bees and the butterflies hovered continually.-Mary M. Bray ln Atlantic.

American Beef
 for Great Britain

Once again has American beef made good with Great Britain. The Armour office at Chicago received a cable from the British government June 21 which con- prised an order for 1000, 900 pounds of corned beef, to be de- livered some time in the middle fall or October. This is the secs ond enormous order that Armour ! & Company have received from Johnny Bull since the beef scan- dal four years ago.
 The first order came in Febru. ary, when the British govern. ment bought 3 5000, 900 pounds of the corned beef for the army.
 This means much, not only for the American beef packers, c ts tie raisers and canneries in gen. eral, but for the Armour Com pany itself. It is no easy matter to bridge a breach between two such powers as England and America with nothing but corned beef and restore good will and confidence. That the British government has again accepted American corned beef is the highest recommendation that can possibly be bestowed upon Amer. ican beef packers.
 During the past year repre- sentatives of the British governs ment have made visits to the Armour plants and their reports were not only favorable but highly complimentary. Since the beef scandal four years ago, American cOrned beef was looked upon with suspicion in all the English colonies, scathing circu- lars being sent out in regard to it.
 The last order from Armour to Great Britain will amount to something like $120, ,Oo0.
