Party and "Tafy" for Tucson

e%f v -%ifA N.ttf aeA q Gs9Dsfs
 !. It is generally conceded that th, . Prescott Miner is the boss Republican paper of Arizona. The grave subject O party organization has been frequent
 ly wrcstlcd with by it, and it has fin . ally reached a conclusion which it ask. the other papers to present to thcii
 readers Here is the proposition:
 That there be formed a Republican
 Club in each election precinct of th,
 Territory where twenty or more Re ] publican voters may be found. The organization may consist of a Simpl, ] pledge by those who sign the roll O . the club, that the subscribers adhcr, to the principles of the republican party and will support is regularly
 nominated candidate for office. TC guard against Uufairness it is adviSa ] ble that the residence and occupation of each subscriber be appended Co hi. name. Let club meetings be called throughout the Territory for the first
 Monday of January, lSSJ, at : o'clock . ?. m. for the purpose of eiectjug dele gates to a Republican county couven
 ;ion, 70 be held at the county seat ot Inc several counties on the first Mon . day of February, l~S), at 1 one o'clock |p. m., one delegate to be allotted t' each twenty voters on the club roll ! These county conventions when as [ 'semblcd, can provide for completing l the Republican organization in theii respective counties, and can elect del c-utcs Co Territorial convention tI
 be held at Tucson n the first Monday of March, 1880, at 70 o'clock a. m i One delegate 10 the Territorial con venliOu may be allotted to each JO vol |crs on the club rolls of the county and one for the county al large. The l Territorial convention may complete ihe organization of the party, and Il
 advisable. elect delegates to the Ma
 lional convention which will probably assemble about May next.
 The Miner wants an expression O opinion from the Republican or Inde pendent press, and here is that of Tn . CITIZEN for the present: We have
 heard of no general demand among
 the people in this section for party or
 ranization. They are giving their al
 tention about entirely to legitimate
 business which includes the proper
 and thorough development of the lanC
 and mines. However we present thi
 pubhc with the Miners plan and de
 sire for party organization, and If l should have the effect of melting th' Republicans to organize, and thel take hold of the matter in dead ear nest. THE CITIZEN may "jine in;" bu this paper is not in the whooping up business. IL is not going to urge th people to add party to their other la ] bors. It will not coax them in th' i premises. If they do not lead off witt 1. that spirit and purpose which clearl'
 indicates that they continue 10 freel. and even zcalously lead in the work this paper will let partisan affairs drii {, along with just as little concern as an. one can imagine.
 - The gracious offer to hold the tirs Territorial convention in Tucson is aC
 cepted as good enough taiiy," but a ' present we hear of no demand for sue
 splendid liberality on the part of ou D Prescott " brethren

UnRsIcOne RAmor.

Itis rumored, says The Miner that
 The Twelfth Infantry is to leave Arizona and take the place of the Eighth. ordered from California to Colorado. and that the Ninth, coloved, will fill the place of the Twelfth, now stationed in Arizona. We don't want any change.
 TIE CITIZEN is opposed to any change that will take Gen. 0. B. Will COX from command in Arizona. He i~ the first commander this Territory ever had who uses the force at his com mand with an earnest purpose to dc the largest possible amount of service for the people of the whole Territory He has not used the power and pat ronage of the Department for selfish purposes, and as a consequence he has the hearty good will and support oi the people in all parts. If the. regi ments must be exchanged, let General Wilcox remain in command. We however, seriously doubt the rumor, a. the Ninth Is q cavalry regiment anC would not be chan gcd with infantry

The Pabhc land comm,ss,on n Ar,zona

lOu- A. L. bflJJOn, Of this COmml-- sion, arrived in Tucson last Thursday. and was at once received by Major C.
 C, Snitfen, whose guest he was while
 here. He remained until Sunday
 morning, when he left for Casa Grande
 by prlvate conveyance, expecting to reach San Francisco Wednesday. No
 other member of the Commission came to Arizona, although it was in
 the programme that Commissioner Williamson and Hon. Clarence King
 would.
 That the Territory should not be
 wholly left out of the Commissions personal observation AIr. Britton made
 the hurried trip he did He says, and
 truly, too, that after collecting such Q
 a mass of testimony and personally
 examining such vast areas of country,
 embracing mineral veins and deposits, | agricultural, pasturage and timber lands under conditions similar to those | of Arizona, it seemed almost unncces- sary Co spend much time here. How ever, the Commission desired to make some personal investigation, and espe-
 cially in relation to private laud
 claims, and MT. Britton gave this
 branch earnest attention, and went
 away gratiied that he made the visit. He is a lawyer by profession, twenty | five years ago. was officially con nected with the General Land Office,
 has since confined his practice largely to land cases, and while here mani
 fcsted a purpose to rightly acquaint himself with the points of difference
 in the laws, local and general, as well las customs and usagcs bearing upon ! inc various grades of land within this Territory.
 Judged from his uuerances, the Commission will be wholly, ifnotqJtte unanimous, in recommending many and important changes in the laws re- lating 10 title to the several grades of land, and also in the method of their execution. Among these changes will be the repeal of the pre-emption and homestead laws and tLe consolidation
 of their best provisions into new law sweep away all provisions by which contests for title to mines are trans
 ferred 10 courts for settlement, and re- QuiTe mining claimants to do as other
 land claimants do, make their loca- tions and proceed to patent wholly
 under United States laws and in the land offices, and thus do away in flu ture with the multitude of confusing local laws: enlarge the area of mlnIng claims and give claimants what falls
 within vertical side lines and no more
 reduce the price and enlarge the amount of the pasturdge land that one
 man can buy, etc. AS to timber land, ! the Commission i, decided in the cor- rect opinion that the only way to pro tect aud economize the timber is to sell it 10 private parties, but in just what amounts, at what price and some other details are not fully determined. MT. Britton thinks a law ought 10 he enacted compelling possessors of pri-
 vate land claims to present their title ! papers for adjudication within a given ! period, and a failure to comply should
 work forfeiture.
 The Commission expects to reach ] Washington by November 20 and pre- pare and submit its work and recon
 mendations to Congress early in De cemJer.

Egvo,jg7 Corn IT the Foothills.

The Placer Herald of Oct. 11th, pub fishes the experience of Henry Adams, of Clipper Gap, in that county, in rais ing Egyptian corn: "I planted two acres. and in soil that l did not con -ider my best by far. IL turned out far beyond my expectations, and l am convinced that this soil and climate i. well adapted for it. This corn is fan superior to any other for meal and makes a very palatablc dish cooked like rice. For poultry feed il has nC equal. It will yield 100 per cent. pei acre more than yellow corn and with less irrigation. 1 have not quite com plcd harvesting mine. but judging from what I have harvested il will turn out at least a ton and a half per acre. Unlike the fodder of other corn which is considered of not much valu, in California. this makes a good feed and double the amount that any othei would make The stalks are finer with more Icaf and do not dry out lik, other kinds Bulletin.
