By advertisement iu this paper, E will be seen that the making of proposals for furnishing cer. tain Indian supplies at the Verde reservation will soon be in order. This Is saying something, but not sufficient and, for the sake of the producers or our Territory, as we'll ss that of the contract. ors, we most earnestly advise the latter indlyldu. als to put In their proposals at fair living prices prices which will justify them In doing the fair thing by the producer, the freghter and every. body else who has labored, or will labor, to pro- duce, transport and furnish the needed supplies Government Is amply able to pay fair prices for everything It may purchase here, and there Is but one inducement 10 call out low bids tbat is, to beat New Mexican contractors, thing that must be done, aye, even at a sacrifice, as Arizonans are now in condition to cope with the low bidding individuals of our sister Territory. This, on ac count of no il feeling against New Mexico or her citizens, but for the very good reason that Ari. zonans must, hereafter transact all tho business of their own Territory.

Messrs. Editors "A short time Since a
number of citizens petitioned Council to
abnte the nuisance of steam whistles
sounding during the night and early in
the morning. The petition was treated
rs summary as an old fashioned aboli.
ton document. ! send you an article
from the New York Post on the subject :
"The town of Atoona,ln Pennsylvania,
deserves distinction. Its citizens have
throttled the steam whistle, to their own
self satisfaction, we hope, but certainly,
If the testimony of a newspaper cores
pendent Is to be Believed, to the " com
fort of visitors" The means by which
this wonderful deliverance was effected
Is described as city ordinance" but 1t
must have been stancher piece Of metal
than any In the armory of our city legis-
lators. Moreover, Altoona Is not, as some
might think, a small place, whose single
railroad is run BY horse power. On the
contrary, II Is nourishing town Of about
six thousand inhabitants, situated on the
Pennsylvania Central Railroad, and the
seat of extensive machine shops belonging
~ the railroad company. Hence we ai(
not surprised to learn that there Is "wil
derness of tracks " in Altoona, on which
engines, trains and cars are almost con
stantly in motion.
But II this can he done In a green tree
what can be done with II dry ont
steam whistles, or At least the screech
ings Of steam whistles can be driven from
Altoona, why not from New York lii
said that the railroad people of Altoona
do their work as Will without these de
moniac Accomplishments as with them
and If the report be true, that settles tn
question. The only satisfactory plea for tn
employment of locomotive steam whistle
in large town is the one of necessity; Blu
we are inclined to think that that
merely nominal one. The psychology
cal history of human being, suhjecte
during the hours Of conscious existenc
to the distraction aud immoral intluenc
of steam whistling, has never bee
written, and perhaps never will be. BIZ
If the full effects of this, In nine cases OF
of ten, unnecessary practice could .
portrayed and made public, we are yer
certain that steam whistling in larp
towns would he suppressed forthwith,
, not by the citizens, then by the railroa
companies, to prevent all the poop
from moving to Altoona"
