THOSE BILLS


 Delegate Oury must have busted hlm- self during the past season to write five bills: but with one exception they are not needed. The bill to test t1e Possi- bilitles of striking artesian water, If sufficient amount ot money is asked for to test various localities lD tle Ter ritorv. would be a useful bllL The blI providing for the election oi sovarno-' if it includes all other Territorial officers. and was made Co apply to all the Territories SD that there would be @ possibility of securing its passage. would also be @ useful and needed bl.i; but in inc shape Mir Ouu presented it it amounts to nothing. His bill to transfer the Indian Bu-resu 10 fine ha7 department promises nothing even fl h. could secure it. passage. The bill for the admission. of Arizona es State iI o-r opinion Is premature. It Ar. C1rs had asked for something which wEs actually needed and the people desired something that he can stand up and fight for. he mighs succeed, and theres. do honor to himself and justice to hi. constituency.
 The United States needs Q pubE building in Tucson. Itis now payin1 out about S5.530 annually ia rents fa the various offices .ocatei here. VI have here, a United' States oI-tou house, a postofice, United States Ian. office, office of the Surveyor General United States District Attorue and UniJeI States Mashll io ArizoEa, in all six distinct offices, wL-c should all be iu one govern ment building to cost not less lhsu SlU 600. If MT. OUry wants to Vor.. and d something for bis constituents that tle would appreciate, he can do no bette than to introduce @ bill for the erecI7 of Unitei States custom house, court house, postoliice, etc., all provided l- under the same roof bt IIczol. Or there is any other point in ths ls-lt1r that can show better claims for such building let it go there. We have h-0 enough bills on paper. not one of WGc stands the least show Of ever being Lssr Of again. Now los tle friends of Nh Oury spur him up to introduce g r1a live bill. one that wall serve the Ju-e States a good purpose, us well as tl Territory. and then le, us all join il al help secure its passage. It can ha don by work. Los Angeles is booked for similar building, yet that town cannc begin to show the necessity for such building that Tucson can.

WE learn from the Phenix Gazette that a proposition is on foot in that place to build a telegraph line to the Quijotoa district, and that Sl,000 has already been subscribed for the pur- pose. It is estimated that S10,0O0 will be necessary to build the line. The Bonanza Camp seems to be in favor with all points inst now, and all seem desirous 10 reach it by road, and reads will no doubt be built from various points on the Southern Pacific. The new camp will furnish a good market for Maricopa and Pinal counties, but as telegraph line is already being built from Tucson, it is not likely another
 will be built from Phenlx. But the field is free for all, and if the Phenicians think they need a line of their own, they certainly have the right to build it.

LET US REASON TOGETHER.

THE CITIZEN is glad to know that at ! t there are a few of our leading citi- ? ns who are getting their eyes opened t the true situation, and have come to ts conclusion that towns don't grow, lt are built; that opportunities ,lecteI may never be presented again d that the time to strike is when the
 is hot. If the citizens of Tucson I'll now unite on all questions Of vital ise1est to its future, and work as one rla to build our prospective railroads
