Prof. Hclps Account of the Invention

Was the invention OF the telephone the

ment for that purpose, or was it discovery

study OF two distinct lines of thought, which
finally blended in one, producing the tele-
phone. ! had for II long time studied the
subject of speech and the organs by which it
is produced, as had my father before me, and
in doing so, conceived the idea OF producing
artificial sounds by certain system. l

of Scotland, you know, and while studying
electricity in the woods there, and on regain

officials of the Boston schools to introduce a
new system of teaching the deaf. 1t was
nothing less than teaching them to speak.

deaf the use of the mouth and the organs oil

For upward of eighteen months
the mining business in Arizona has
lain completely dormant and not a
sound has disturbed the Profound
ness of its quiet save the click
of the lonely prospector's pick here
and there among silent mountains
The stamp has stood idle, the fires
were out IN the smelters.
To-day all this has changed and
renewed energy is visible all over
the Territory. Earnest, honest min>
ing has taken the place of mining
speculation and mini ng peculation &.
Men no longer buy any hole in the
ground that a man with a pick on
his shoulder says is the "biggest
thing in the world" A reasonable
amount of development must show
itself. No mine sells that cannot
show that there is something in it to
justify the expenditure of money IN
obtaining possession of it. A green~
horn may possibly besuckcd in once
in a while, but the experience of the
country generally has had q zalutary
effect and greenhorns are scarce,
much to the credit of the mining
business, as is also the fact that
sharks in that line are rapidly CONF
ing to grief. The local press could
make itself power in preventing
swindling mining operations if it
would and the experience of the
past ought to indicate to the press
what its duty is in the premises,
The press must either allow the
country to be set back years and
development retarded by people he
ing swindled or it must put its foot
down on every disreputable opera,
tion of which it becomes cognizant.
Aside from duty if money were a
consideration In the matter is it not
evident that the most money is IN
building up the business of the
country, in doubling, tripling and
quadrupling our business and popu-
lation?

IN THE very general interest now
manifested in the valley in trees
planting there should be some a.ten>
ton given to ornamental and shade
trees.
The cottonwood is a swift grower
ard gives the much needed shade
sooner perhaps than any other tree,
but its general meanness coupled with
the fact that nothing else can grow
in its immediate vicinity are matters
that at an early day will compel its
entire destruction, except, perhaps,
where grown for wood. Land will
ere long be too valuable in this sec~
tion of country to raise cottonwood
trees upon. 1t will be needed for
fruit and grain.
For purposes of shade and orna-
ment there is perhaps no tree
grown in the valley that SO nearly
fills the bill as the Pepper Tree, so
called.
1t is a neat, trim and rapid grower
when properly trained and when
"headed in" makes a dense shade
and is evergreen. 1t is almost abso-
lutely free from bugs, worms. cotton,
etc, which make the cottonwood so
and is more So
ciable inclined, occupying no more
land than other trees of it's size.
1t can readily be trained high for
shade CT low for ornament and |
grows as naturally here in the VAL
ley as does the cottonwood and re,
1uires less water.
The ash is another beautiful tree
hat makes fine shade but is decidu-
ous and much slower grower than
.hc pepper tree.

SCARCE a day passes that we do
not hear moro or less talk of our
necessity for railroad commnnics-
tion with the outside world. The
necessity is making itself felt so ser
iously and constantly that from force
of circumstances a break will be
made in some direction by some~
body before a very great while. The
Southern Pacific people have re-
peatedly said that they will put on
ahe rolling stock if we will go ahead
and build the road. 1t seems to US
that there are enough men with
large business interests and owning
teams enough 10 grade the road
from Phoenix to Maricopa, under
sauch pRoposition as Mr.. F. NJ. Fow-
Ter, has already made viz, to grade
five miles of the road at his own ex-
pense if parties will put the road
into operation.
The plan for the grading to be
dome in this way is perfectly feasi>
bic and we believe that force enough
can be put on the road from this
county to do the principal part of
the grading inside of a month from
the time it is commenced. When
once the matter is seriously started
we doubt not that help could be
found.
The Arizona Canal Company ought
to be largely interested in this mat
ter and we hope that 1t is sufficient
ly interested to take hold of the mat
ter with its customary energy and
enterprise, and build the road, or at
last grade it when we doubt not the
grade could be disposed Of to parties
who would put cars upen it. A gen.
eral uprising" on the railroad
question is in order. Our citizens
can put in work and feed better
than they can put in money, and
they can never make more paying
investment Of either one of them
than in opening out our valley tc
the general markets of the county.
We reiterate that it is a feasible
plan for our people who have teams
and those who have not but hav'
muscle and money to unite them fo
. time in grading a road to Marico
pa. They will never be used to 1
greater advantage or put into an.
business that will bring quicker ant
great returns.
A railroad into this valley wouIt
double our population within the
next eighteen months, and thereby
double the volume of our business
II this valley wishes to have "livel,
times" let it begin The construction
Of a railroad.

WE are in receipt of sheet con-
tainlng 4 large number Of endorse
ments BY various papers of the coun>
try Of one Chas. P Button, who is a
candidate for sergeant-at>arms Of
the next lower house of congress.
Mr.. Button has probably been To-
cal celebrity, as we don't remember
OF ever having heard of him before
However, we judge he wants na-
tional reputation as once having
been q candidate for sergeant-at-
arms of the lower house of congress.
At least we knew of no other use for
-his cirnular of recommendations
The people of this backwoods coun-
try are yet under the impression that
the members of the two branches OF
congress choose their sergeant>at-
arms for themselves, and that the
people aud press at large have very
little to do or say in the matter.
However. If we can do. Mr. Button
any good. we recommend that he be
