 In our last issue. in speaking of the want of the people of PhGnix 'or 8 railroad, we predicted that the building of one to that town would ruin 1t. and gave our req sons for so hinkiDg. Judge Hancock, one If the early settlers of that pl zee and u most enterprising aad public spirit I'd citizen, in a communication t.. this paper takes issue with us, on the poirt above referred to. q d say: both barley and wh at are cheaper '.ere to-day than they are in L IS An les. and parties are in town now figuring to buy barley for the south Tn market, even with tweniy-ei Int and one-half miles of wagon ans portation between us and the rail- road. Sc far from the railroad hurt ing us, it has helped Us in every way. There has never been time -Ince the -ailro d cached Maricopa,
 hat grain has not commanded a bet ter price here than 1t did in the cor responding munih of any of +he pre- vious rhree years, and it commands a price that affords the farmers a od pr..fi'. There has never been a day si. ce the railroad reached 1 Msricopa that PhPnix has Eoi felt it's influence for gooi n Its prog ress and improvement has steadily increased. Its p,o,pe ity t'-iay is greater than ever befor. here are more carpenter masous anu labor CTS at WnIk. ad ing to and increasing the number Of it's buildings and lIn- proving old ones, than ever heforr. We have larger crop in the valley than we ever had before, with a .ir prospect for better prices thar we nave had before for five years. and if we had railroad from Pueuix to Maricopa, barley would be wnr h moro than t is now, an,l we could l find a market in the souihe'n DOT tion of the Territory for sev. r.ll il.on- sand tons of hay at prices that would make our farms's rich.'-[Silver Bet.
