yressional wisdom to Territories which

gressional wisdom to Territories whicl
are not allowed voice in the coming
; presidential election. The voters q
: Arizona before they pass judgment up
on Mr.. Stevens, would do well to con
slider this subject in all its bearings
Especially the action of the last Con
gress towards Territorial delegates.
the people of Arizona choose to re
elect the Hon. Hiram S. Stevens, the
will have no cause to repent their &C
ton in the premises. Everybody know
it takes the best part of delegate
term for him to make himself famIlia
with the mOdus operandi of pulling
the political wires of Washington
None will attempt TO deny that tn,
Hon. Il. c. Mccormick, who repre-
scented us for six years did good ser
vice for the Territory, and that his las
years in Congress were the most ad
vantageOus TO the country and his con
stituents. l will now ask: Why was
Mr.. Mccormick of more service dur
ing his last years IN Congress. Simply
because he was returned the second
and third time. The first years in Con
gress he was able to make himself IA
miliar with its workings, and conse
quently during the succeeding years
he was prepared through past expe
rience, to take, as it were, advantage
of the situation Judging from the
past, | know of no better argument for
the present, why Mr.. Stevens should
he reelected, than my deductions
drawn from the successes of our for.
mer Delegate mentioned above. To
sum up, the people of Arizona will do
well to look to their own interests next
November, and in so doing they will
re-elect the Hon Hiram 5. Stevens TO
represent us for another term at Wash
ington.
Last Wednesday, the 23d instant, Mr.
Ed. F. Bowers in company with Mr..
William WilkersOn, paid this section
visit, and | believe it was their first.
Both gentlemen were really astOnished
in more ways than one What aston
ished them most is the large amount
of small grain growing in the valley.
Mr. Bowers and Mr.. Wilkerson, both
practical farmers, admit they never
saw finer barley or wheat grown in the
Sacramento valley than is grown here.
Joseph b. Holding has barley growing
that will thrash 5000 or $500 pounds to
the acre. 1t is NV opinion there is no
place west OF the Rocky mountains
better adapted to the growing of small
grain than Round valley. Mr.. Barnes
is registering the qualified voters of
this section and Mr.. WIlkerson, our
county recorder, came along for recre-
alton. Both gentlemen are candidates
for Office, the former for sheriff and the
latter for county recorder.
l will in future letter give your
readers a few statistics pertaining to
these parts: number of pounds of bar
ley, wheat, corn, etc; also the number
of acres under cultivation, besides
our other various resources.
Mr.. Mllligan's saw-mill is looked for
daily from the Rio Grande. The ma
chinery was purchased in st. Louis
1t will be a great blessing to the peo-
pie when he gets it in running order,
rs there is considerable demand for
lumber here just now. 1t is the inten-
ton of all the ranchmen to put up
plank fences around their respective
farms during the coming Winter and
Spring; in this connection l will say
the people here expect their represen-
tatives to tryand secure fence law for
this portion of Yavapai at the next
session of the Legislature,
More goods en- route to this place
for Mr. Springer's Branch House at
Springerville." Mr.. Springer claims
to be the original "Old Business " and
says: Il talk business, mean bust
ness, do business, and if any one has
business to come up and do their bust
ness, then go about their business, and
give some one else a show 80 talk bus
mess and 20 do business also" To
judge from the above, "bizness is biz
ness sure enough and no mistake.
