WARS IN a NAME" - We an
nounce last Saturday that the town
site surveyed and located near the jack
rabbit mipe was called Royal City"
This name did not seem to suit some
parties in Phoebe, who forthwith COM
menced to argue the policy of calling
anything Royal" in these free Ameri-
can States--it was something unheard
Of. Another party thought it ought to
be named rabbit City" on account of
its vicinity to the Jackrabbit mine.
Other names were suggested, but the
locators having made up their minds
that it should be called Royal City,"
intend to stick to it, and Royal City"
is its name. We will state for the bene-
fit of the parties who object TO this name
that the locators OF the new townsite in
Bristol District are all members of the
Royal Arch Chapter of Free fMasons,
from which society the new townslte
derives its name.
