horses or mules pulling the blows of the farmers.
 Now the buffalo have gone, the range cattle have gone and the hunters have gone. while in their place comes a great herd of steam monsters, splitting fire and smoke, and, in their wrath, tear ing up the sod in all directions. It is cheaper to feed blow power on coal and gasoline than on hay and oats-at least that's what the machinery man and the traction farmer say.
 As the big paRting engine stalks ma jestically over the prairie, dragging its dozen 14-inch blows, its harrows, its crushers and its drills, the decaying bones of it's predecessors are daily turned up to bleach in the sun. The romance of the past is being crushed out. while the only signs of mourning are in the 16-foot strips of black, gradually widening and widening as the monster steadily pursues its way up and down the furrows, from road allowance to road allowance.
 In that fertile section of southern Alberta lying contiguous to the Bow river in the valley of the same name, known as the irrigation blocl,' it is conservatively estimated that over one hundred thousand acres will, this sea son, be broken. That the farmer fav- ors the employment of modern steam machinery in breaking and cultivating his land is demonstrated by the in- creasing number of steam and gasoline engines shipped into the province The demand for steam traction is so much in excess of the supply that in many cases the machinery houses have had to return deposits already accepted on orders, on account of the inability of the manufacturers to keep pace with requirements for new engines.
 A careful comparison of the cultiva- tion now going on in the irrigation block of steam blows with the old horse team methods, leds to the result that the former. when running smoothly breaks four times the amount of ground at nearly two fifths the cost Many claim more.
 Contractors are breaking land for farmers in the block at rates ranging from S350 per acre to S400; last sea son this rate was $500, but with the demand that has come with increased the price has risen cores There are few, if any, pow CT plants contracting for this. work, most of them having all they can do to attend their own work.
 On a big 2,500-acre farm in a district which I recently visited ,here every thing modern in the way of farm ma chinery is employed, I found the fol- lowing plant:
 g h. D. steam engine.
 l 9 h. D. steam engine.
 l 12-gang 14-inch modern ploy.
 } 16-inch disc harrOws.
 3 20-disc drills.
 heavy, wooden drag packers.
 1 22-wheel roller or crusher.
 A number of binders, various sized blows, etc, etc.
 A 215 h. p. gasoline engine works tho pump.
 Eight men were employed on the farm and twelve horses. Thirteen hundred acres have this season been put under crop, oats, wheat and flax.
 We couldn't operate this big farm, said the manager, unless we pos sessed this plant; there wouldn't be time to break all the land within the season As it is. I work two traction engines steadily, one breaking and the

the case of present occupants and holders of leases of school lands provision should be made in the con stitution for their reimbursement for the actual value of the Improvements thereon and appurtenances there to, to be ascertained by an impartial appraisement whenever said lands shall be sold as may be provided by law.
 Provision should be made in the constitution to prevent and prohibit combinations and cOnSpiracieS in the form of trusts or otherwise in re- straint of trade or commerce within the state.
 In conclusion we favor the framing of a constitution for the state of Arizona, which shall be truly pro- gressive, simple in expression, easy of common understanding. broad enough to protect all classes of so- ciety elastic enough to meet new conditions as they may hereafter arise, and which may be amended by a majority vote of the people.

TALKING TO THE CHILD.

Mrs \ talks to little Madge just as Mir. x talks to their dog" said a r;tIe girl of a neighboring family. And il was indeed true Mrs. x Is a very wcll-mcaning woman and would be greatly surprised If she should hear the foregoing statement She has simply unconsciously ac- quired harsh tone of voice in dealing with her children. This is altogether unnecessary and is not as many mothers seem to think. a mark of good discipline. The mother whose manner is quiet but firm is generally a much more successful disciplinarian than the harsh voiced mother who issues her commands in a dictatorial manner. It is flabby indecision. sometimes mistaken for kindness, which spells them.

PROGRESSIVE" FRAUD

"Ah. wot's de use" Just as The Republicans censor of the Arizona Gazette's fake telegraph believes he has the Gazette going toward de- cency and honesty with its buncoed subscribers, it breaks back. and the work has to be done all over again. Last night in the course of its praycrful preparation for the holy Sabbath the Gazette committed an extraordinary fraud. The enormity of this crime against the Gazette readers does not lie in the volume of stolen, fake, embalmed telegraph, but in the brazenness of the effort which must be construed1t be an assault upon the intelligence of the Gazette reader.
