Prescott Gamblers Fined.

Barney Smith, chairman of the Yavapai county board of supervisors, and Ben Belcher, mem Der of the Prescott city council, were fined S20O each a few days ago by Associate Jus tice E. M. Doe for having vio- lated the antigan bling law by running faro games in the Pal ace saloon, owned by them in that city.
 Sidney Birch, charged with a similar offense, was also fined $200. Birch plead guilty to the charge, while Smith and Belcher both stood trial and were con- victed by jury. W. R. Stone, another offender who plead guilty, was fined $l50.

ARIZONA FREIGHT RATES
 REDUCED

R. $. Stubbs, general passen- ger and freight agent for the Southern Pacific Company in Arizona, has issued a circular announcing a big cut in freight rates over the company's lines in Arizona and New Mexico, to become effective January 6, 1910,
 The new rates are based, it is said, upon those now prevailing on the western division between Yuma and Los Angeles. The general average reduction in the rates on all classes of freight handled by the road will amount to about 26 per cent. No reduc- tions have been made west of Yuma and none has been made east of El Paso. The new sched- ule, which is the result of the showing made in the earnings of the road between El Paso and Yuma, will apply only between those points.
 While the new schedule of rates, announced yesterday, shows only the principal points affected by it, local rates to New Mexico and Arizona points will also be reduced to a correspond ing basis.
 As illustrations of this, the rate on first-class freight between Tucson and Yuma will be reduc- ed from S1.79 to $1.37. On fifth class freight it will be reduced from $1.03 to 75 cents. On class "C'' it will be reduced from 7l to fl cents. This class consists of fruits and vegetables in car lots. These rates are based on the loo pounds.

TWO KINDS OF SCHOLARS

The old school bell chimes out "come," and as we look forth and see the groups of boys and girls on their way to school we note some whose elastic step and cheerful faces are highly indica- tive of the soul and mind, and all such will prove blessing to themselves, their teachers and their school. Their actions show their anxiety for work. Their lessons will be perfectly prepar- ed; their recitations we'll given, and they will attain to that round on the ladder of fame and learn ing called success. They will master all knotty problems. not only in school but in life. They will not require punishing in or der to teach them the necessity of getting their lessons. They study because they love to; are industrious and energetic from principle; their life will be a success.
 Following comes another group of boys whose tagging steps and sullen faces show that the sound of the bell grated harshly upon their ears. These boys, or most of them, at least, will prove un ruly, unkind, and, unlike the other class named, will take but little interest in their work, and at the end of the year, in spite of a teachers earnest efforts in their behalf, will be but little farther advanced than in the be- ginning.
 We need not say what the re- suit is pretty sure to be in the latter case, but to these boys parents we wish to say, try to cultivate in their minds a love for the school and school work. See to it that they are ill school every day; that their report cards show a good grade or know why such is not the case. In other words, see if you can't control your boys and not de- pend upon the teacher to do it.

ing the past year and on which It is expected to expend at least S5, 900, coo, is that which propos- es to reclaim thousands of acres in Yuma and Maricopa counties along the route of the Southern Pacific railroad, with it's western terminus at Mohawk, fifty miles east of Yuma, and it's eastern terminus near GiIa Bend, in Mar icopa county. The capital for this undertaking will be supplied by European capitalists, among whom are the Rothschilds, and ample financial backing is thus assured,
 "Water and canal rights have been secured, daasites on the Gila river selected and plans mapped out for the beginning of operations in the near future. It is proposed to take up the abandoned South Gila canal pro- feet, which bad .s its inception about fifteen years ago, but fail ed owing to faulty engineering calculations with reference to the reservoir sites. Under the stimulus offered by this old pro- feet thousands of acres were settled and patented. Much of this land has since been sold for taxes, while some of it has been held by the owners in the hope that some such enterprise as that on the eve of consummation would eventually be brought to pass. There are yet thousands of acres subject to entry under the Carey act, which will afford Opportunities to settlers to secure valuable tracts of land by filing and purchasing a waser right, the arable land ca pabfe o8 being brought under this project extending to the Mexican line.
 Allied with this project IS one having a focal point at Gila City, twenty miles east of Yuma, where @ dam will be built and water diverted east and south. Filings to cover the initial steps of this project have already been made"

ALFALFA

The back bone of agriculture in Yuma valley at the present time is alfalfa. It Is a crop that improves the land and can be plowed up at any time, leaving the soil in better condition than it was before planting. Through the action of nodule- forming bac- teria on it's roots, alfalfa has the power of drawing nitrogen from the abundant supply in the at mosphere and transforming it so that it can be used by other crops. Since the other elements necessary for plant growth are found in abundance in Yuma valley soils, a crop rotation that inclues alfalfa will maintain al
 most indefinitely a high state of soil fertility and also supply the organic matter in which desert soils are generally deficient. Commercial fertilizers will never be necessary in Yuma valley. Alfalfa will give a satisfactory cutting of hay in less than three months after the planting of the seed. Seven or eight cuttings, or 8 total average of ten tons per acre, are harvested annually from fields that receive proper attention. A common practice with farmers is to take off one or two cuttings of hay, then a crop of alfalfa seed, followed by three or four more crops of hay in one season. Alfalfa yields normally 45O pounds of seed per acre which sells for an avera ge of 12 cents per pound. One acre provides sufficient pasture and hay to maintain a dairy COW or beef steer. During the past six years baled alfalfa hay has av- eraged S13 per ton on the local market, and the demand exceed ing the supply. With the set ting of the valley and a result ing increase in alfalfa production the price of alfalfa hay will drop to it's feeding value for stock, which in this region is SS to $1O per ton in the stack. Even at this price alfalfa is an exceed ingly profitable crop. Unlike many crops, it can be grown sac- cessfully by the amateur farmer while he is familiarizing himself with irrigation methods and learning how to grow more spe- cialized crops.

Encouraging news comes from the Panama canal. The cost it is now definitely known will be, in round numbers, three hundred and seventy five millions of dol lars, and it is stated that in four years and six months vessels will pass from ocean to ocean. The excavation could be completed in two years, but it will take longer than that time to build the immense dam and locks. Vessels of large tonnage are al- ready using parts of the canal.
