STORY or YAvAPAI
 TOLD IN EARTH
(Ffom Medn nesdAy,s Daily

| al
 A large and varied bulk of statis. tehl and descriptive information re. garding the agricultural resource. of favapai appears in the current nun. Der of "Tbe Earth" the Santa Fe magazine devoted 10 the Southwest.
 While the issue is largely given up to th's industry in Msricopa county, the space given Yavapai exceeds five pages. Editor vandegrift was SO pleased with the outlook for the farming industry here, during his re- cent trip, that he has written secre. tary Fraser, promising to visit this county again in April, or during the early part of May, when he will be able to devote a longer time 10 inter views with the growers on the ground.
 Yavapai is represented in this nun. bcr with fifteen splendid reproduction halftones, from photographs of Edwin Baer. Harry Heap in the leading article on Yayapai tells of new pros pcrity coming to the Verde Valley and diseourses upon the fertility of the soils of other famous Yavapai valley areas His article is an ex. haustive one and contains specific reference 10 the ranches of D. NJ. wynkoop, &. g. Reed, D. W. Thomas, Joe Matli and others.
 From Secretary Fraser's pen, arti. rles appear on Lonesome and Big Chino valleys. with special reference 10 the proposed irrigation project near Prescott. The climate of Yava- pai county is discussed technically in an article by John W. Finn, United States cooperative weather observer. NJ. C. Harris writes entertainingly on the number of scenic wonders avail able by side.,rips from Ash Fork, and calls especial attention to the cheap rate which can be procured by holders of transcontinsntal tickets for this detour.
 The true history of the Aztec bean, which was given him in Phoenix by Miss Sharlot Han, is written for the first time by MT. Fraser; also a short article on the celebrated Haskell orchard from which may be grasped the financial reward to the hortieui- turist in Yavarai.
 MT. vandegrift deyotes some space to the city of Prescott, which he lauds as the beautiful resort Of the Southwest, par excellence. Phases of agrieultnral life in the Salt River Valley are described by Harry weleh, James S. Day, W F. Woodruff and W. s. Mcconnell.
 Mir. vandegrift, through the Bind offices of Paul r. Hastings has prom jsea 10 the Prescott Chamber of Com meree l500 copies of this issue, free. As it contains exactly the material re ouired to answer inquiries, it is de- ,irable that citizens of yavapai wish ing 10 aequaiut their friends with its resources, apply st the office or write giviup addresses of their friends to whom "The Earth" for February may be cent.

Some time ago Mr.. Carnegie test1-
fed before a congressional commit
tee that the steel trust no longer
needed a protective tariff, 1t was
construed to mean that without the
tariff the steel trust could destroy
all smaller steel makers.
In point OF fact the old man told
a simple truth, but did not explain
the facts. When he began making
steel it was crude work. They made
better steel across the sea and sold
it so cheap that had there been no
tariff Mr.. Carnegie would have gone
to the wall. Then, as now, the great
feature was labor. Bpt one Of his
laborers suggested a machine TO him
which would enable him t" dispense
with many laborers, He accepted
the suggestion. made the machine
and il worked like a charm. The
great Homestead lockout came be-
cause through the introduction OF
new machinery the men working in
one department could make three
times what they had made before,
and when asked to reduce their
wages, so as to only clear what they
did before the machinery was put in,
though those wages were princely.
they refused. Hence the lockout.
The workers can today do with their
machinery and 100 men what 2OOO
men could have done when Carnegie
began. And unless in the protected
Krupp works there is nothing in
Great Britain or i'll continental
Europe to compare with what the
steel combine is doing-Salt Lake

a denial of the situation, the people

Los Angeles refuses to recognize

on Sunday. The new law states that
there will be no distribution OF mail
on Sunday, that there will be no

special delivery mail will receive
attention. The result is that the

Fell 80 Feet: Unhurt.

Rockford, Ia, Feb. 23.-Plunging
downward fifty feet from the side of
an eighty foot standpipe, striking
full on 2x4 timber, when some 20
feet from the earth, caroming OFF and
being saved from terrible death by
his feet becoming entangled in
rope, dangling down the side of the
lofty reservoir; and then suspended
in mid air for some minutes before
workmen rescued him, was the ex-
perience of man in the town of
Rockford yesterday.
Gus Neubert together with four
fellow workmen had been sent by
Chicago company to repair the stand
pipe, which furnishes the pressure for
the entire town Of Rockford, receiv-
ing such instructions from the au-
thorities of Rockford, when examin-
alton disclosed that the reservoir was
in bad shape. He started to climb to
the top and had reached the so foot
mark when his feet slipped and the
foregoing accident occurred. This is
one of those instances which defies
any explanation, and gives credence
to the theory of fate.

Dog Saves Child From Drowning.

John, the little four year old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred King, was
probaly saved from drowning by a
collie dog after the child had broken
through the ice on the river between
East Water and State streets south
Sunday afternoon several children
were playing on the bank of the
river, where they had been sliding
down hill on their sleds. firing OF
the sport they went out upon the ice
Little John got a small box and went
to the open water to float it, and
as he neared the edge the ice gave
way and he was thrown into the
river, where the swift running water
was up to his neck. AS he was seen
to go down, the collie dog who was
playing with the children, and who
is owned by f. NJ. Downing, rushed
to the spot and would have gone in
after the child, but the little fellow
grabbed the long hair of the dog and
hung on until Mr.. Ingersoll, who
lives close by, heard the calls of the
other children, and went to the res
cue. The faithful dog, as soon as
the child caught hold of him, stood
perfectly still, seeming to know that
help would arrive to take he little
victim from his perilous position. II
was certainly narrow escape, and
when John grows up he will have
a good dog story to tell.-Waverly

readers we said nothing about the

weak, is thought to be out of danger.
His condition, however, is such that
under even the most favorable cir
cumstances, it will be several months
before he is able to resume his judi
cial duties. The judge is in his 18th
year and the matter of age being the
only thing agains. him, his heart
action being good and other condi-
tions of the case being favorable for
a safe and speedy convalescense.-

A DecOrahian's Suggestion.

Des Moines, Ia, Feb. 24.-It re-
manned for an Iowa man, real live
progressive Iowa man, to shake the
Kansas from an old and bad habit,
long ago abandoned in Iowa. The
man was Dr. NJ. Nelson Voldeng,
superintendent of the Iowa state hos
pital at Cherokee. When he address
ed conference of institution heads
at Topeka he called attention to
what he said was the one discordant
note he had heard there-the fact
that the street car which carried
him to the state hospital bore the
sign asylum" He stated that for
years the hospitals had been seeking
to get away from that name, and in
Iowa they have completely done so.
The conference thereupon adopted a
resolution requesting the street rail-
way company to change the sign on
the car and abandon the word "asy-
lum" forever.

That the fight between the Gin

all delegates who favored the Chica-
go rates were denied seats, was
made evident when John Sullivan of

by the action of Camp No. AS, the

ing the action of the head camp and
withdrawing their three delegates

of the three delegates is Daniel E.
