The Los Angeles papers are doing all that good papers should do to secure the trade of this Territory for tho business men of their town and the producers of their county. We wish them luck in their efforts, but fear they will not he as successful as they desire to be. Their main hope for aid to secure said trade is pretty well rooted in the rail- road that is now approaching us. The Ex- press believes that the Railroad Company will favor its city; advises its merchants to import from New York, direct, and taking certain things for granted, boldly asserts, m guarded way, of course, that under such circumstances. it will be to our interest to purchase all the goods we may need from Los An-eenos. AriZonans would not object to this, provided they could do better, or even as well, as they could do by going to San Francisco. But, won't II be aS 1t was m California and Nevada after the railroad had reached those States from the Eastt Chicago then undersold Frisco and Frisco will be ant to underSell Los Angeles. True, we must continue to purchase Los Angeles oranges and other fruits, until such time as we raise fruits of our own. As for flour, we can raise wheat and make 1t at home. Even Californians underrate our farming and man. uiacturing abilities. as they will soon dis cover Los Angeles can have good foundries and supply our mill men with machinery, and this matter she ought to attend to. Her press and people have always stood by us and we do not forget them for if, but they must secure more direct railroad communi- cation with that portion of Arizona north of the Gila river before counting a great deal upon having a large trade with this section of the Territory, A railroad to some point on the Colorado, at or near the Needles would give them big purchase upon our trade and travel.
