PROBABLY the happiest little country
in the world is the Island of Cyprus
which was ceded by Turkey to England
as a part of the late war treaty. 1t Is
stated that real estate has doubled III
value since it became known that the
Island was transferred to England. No
greater compliment could be paid to
the stability of "a government than this.
It illustrates the difference between the
government of England and that of
Turkey. Every citizen Of the Island
can now go to work with absolute as
surance that what he accumulates is
under the protection of a government
with both the will and the power to pro
tect his property as we'll as himself. A
railroad is already in process of con-
struction, and "a man can, belong to a
Christian church without il danger of
being murdered. tt.. :"

ACCORDING to the address of Mr.. l..
?. Perkins before the Free Canal AS
ISOLATION held at Buffalo last week, the
Erie canal has not been much Of an
elephant on the hands of the state OF
New York, andthe time has come when
the empire state can well afford to make
the canal free to commerce. MIR. Fer
llins stated that the construction Of the
old Erie canal was authorized by. the
legislature of New Y ork, April Is. 1917.
Operations were commenced July of
that year, and the canal was completed
and opened on the Goth of October,
1926. Its estimated, cost was s., 1925, 73S,
while the actual cost was s., 145, 7S9,
This expenditure ofmoney had never
been felt by the people of the state.
After Huntington teno Years the bush
ness had so ar increased that it1had to
be enlarged. Authority for this purpose
was obtained from the legislature May,
1885. The enlargm ent was commenced IN
ugust, 1886, sand it was completed in
September, 1862 Tine estimated cost
of this work was $2S; 400, 1858, while the
actual expenditure of this work twas $332-
0OS, SOL. The length Of the canal after
the enlargement was $500 miles. 1.-The
average annual cost Of repair per mile
was only $4OO. THE state received for
tolls, from the year 1S21'to September,
1866, inclusive,o the aggregate sum OF
1913, 493,l19. during, the same period
the cost of repairs was $21 O36, 517, the
net profit being So, 907 sol. Certainly
this a good showing, and is q strong
argument in favor of the principles of
the Free Canal. Association. This as
ISOLATION has recently been organized
and is composed mainly Of merchants
and business men Of Buffalo and and
New York CityLls The association is or
ganized for the purpose of securing
such state legislation as will make the
Erie Canal free. 1t is argued that the
advantages to accrue the city and state
of New York by the increase of trade
would amply repay the state for the
cost of maintaining free canaland this
is doubtless true AS it would reduce the
cost of shipping the produce of the west
to rate that would turn an immense
quantity Of grain that now goes to
Philadelphia and Baltimore back in
the old channel through the state ol
New York. OF course the producerslo l
the west would be greatly bepeftted by
the free canal as it would, place the
cost of transportation at the lowest
figure to be reached by q through water
route. .s59l5.nf5A3 ce91bfE Yiirol

WANT TO SEcEDE.-Some of the resident living and owning property on the west sid, of Granite Creek, are talking of getting up petition to the Mayor and Village Council asking that the west line of the Village cor poration extend no further than the middle channel of Granite Creek. This they cen sider but fair aud honest, since they of tho west side are called upon to pay their quota of taxes and in return derIve no benefit what ever from the Village Government.
 No disturbances of the peace ever occur on that side, no night watchman ever crosses the creek to watch property at night, not dollar has ever been expended on the streets on that side, everything they have ever asked of the Council has been promptly denied as unnecessary, and yet they are ex- pescted to continue to pay taxes cheerfully and feel that they have been properly treated.
 At the last meeting they asked for foot walk across the disagreeable sandy crussing of Gurley street, where it is difficult for ladies to pass, even in the day time at any season, and in times of high water, which have occurred and likely to occur again, is entirely impossible, but the Council declared it was not needed and laid it aside.
 In view of all these things, the residents of West Prescott, think the best thing they can do is tn ask to be left oGt of the Tax collectors beat as we'll as that of the Night watchman, Marshal, Fire and Street Con- missioner.
 We are assured that the Bank of Arizoaa has not offered less than S5 cents on the dollar for Territorial Warrants; even the latest is sue, which no one expects to see paid under a year, or year and half
 The Yuma Sentinel is away of when it attempts to injure the bank by setting afoat damaging rumors and insinuations. The people, who are likely to have business with a bank, know that if the vouchers in ques- ton were worth more, they would find sale in San Francisco or Los Angeles, where they have few banks, and which are some what nearer to Yuma in point of time than Prescott.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN.

This is getting to be very popular head ing for advertisements, and as the Enter prise contains an advertisement signed bs Edmund G.

 We are authorized to state on behalf of C, c. Bean. that he will bet F.. G. Peck ten thousand dollars. and put up the money with the Bank of Arizona, that the fifty thousand shares of stock issued 10 Mary M Bean, by the Peck Mining Company, and which she has voted, as stock holder in the Peck Mining Company, and on which she received dividends, is as valid as the twenty five thousand shares issued to F.. G. Peck by the Peck Mining Company, or is as good and valid as any share of stock issued to any body. This is a good chance to gamble if anybody is on it.
