plus water. matter, we think, o great importance.
 He favors encouragement by lagis lation of railroads and especially O. north and south roads, togeth CT with other internal improve mcnts in keeping with ou progress and advancement. Re compense to witnesses in criminal
 ases is urged not only on the ground : of simple justice to the witness, but as safeguard to order and society. Attention is called to the self sacrificing efforts of Hon. F. w. Murphy and Douglas Gray, our Con- missioner and alternate respectively, to the Denver, the Chicago and the Worlds Exposition at New Orleans, and urges an appropriation sufficient to present our exhibit in a manner worthy ot the Territory at the latter place.
 Attention is called to the Univer- sity lands in this section, which were set apart by special act of Congress in 1881 for Territorial University purposes. The local land office at Prescott, however, continued to re- ceive pre-emption and homestead fil- ings upon this land, hence there is at the present time fourteen homestead and preemption settlers upon these University land, the Governor sug- gests the appointment of the superin- tendent of public instruction as uni versal land agent to dispose of these lands for the purposes for which they were intended, and the selection of other lands in lieu of those settled. An exhaustive review is made of our public institutions in their practical workings and proper suggestions made for improvements and reforms.
 The message is in pamphlet form, embracing some 65 pages of neatly printed matter and is a mastcrly analysis of our Territorial affairs. It is credit to our Territory and an honor to our worthy chief executive, Gov. F. A. Tritle.

Shooting at Williams.

WILLIAMS, A. T., Jan. 26.-This place was thrown into excitement by the shooting of Paddy Boggett, a quiet individual by w. J. Pargood, alias Doc., last evening, with proba- ble fatal results. It was caused by a former difficulty between them, when Boggett inflicted severe punishment on Pargood with his fists. The latter knowing himself to be inferior in a pugilistic encounter, determined on shooting the former on the least pro- vocation. This first opportunity hap pened Sunday night, which he took advantage of and shot Boggett fatally in the abdomen. Both parties are we'll known along the line of the road. The bullet went through his bladder, and Dr. Mason says he can not live.

Another Extension,

The presence in Los Angeles of Mir. Mutt, president, and Mir. Smith, su- perintendent of the A. & P. R. R. is pretty thorough evidence, taken in connection with the operations of a large force of men between Daggett and the Cajon Pass, that this city will soon have another transcontinental railway among the many strings to its bow. Our people are prepared to welcome the advent of all agencies of development. They extended the right hand of fellowship to the South ern Pacific; and, as a result, have seen Los Angeles grow with wonder ful rapidity. The transformation of town of II,ooo inhabitants into city of 33,ooo is one of the miracles of the last four years. New railway connections mean growth and wealth, and Angelenos understand the story too we'll to make it necessary that we should repeat the lesson in detail. The building of railway through the Cajon Pass is of most suspicious sig nihcance to our long suffering neigh bor San Diego. That city cannot fail to benefit by direct communication with the East. All the signs are in dicative of great awakening there, both in town and county, and already there is quite revival of real estate values in both. San BerLardino will also shake off her lethargy and keep step to the march of progress. We rejoice in this. The prosperity of one portion of California rebounds to the benefit of all. Though it began to grow last, the increase of wealth and population in the southern end of the State will be much greater than any thing ever chronicled in the northern and central counties. In time we shall exemplify the old Scriptural axiom that the first shall be last and the last first. It took some time for people to arrive It proper under standing of the value, extent and va riety of the resources of this portion of the State, but it has been reached at last.-Los Angeles Herald.

 Referring briefly to the satisfactory condition ot OUT agricultural ant grazing interest, he explains tho causes for the seeming depression ir mining circles, and leads us to be lieve that the depression is but tempo rary.
 He congratulates us on the advace ment of our people in educational and social matters, contrasting the pes ent quiet condition of affairs with the reign of lawlessness, three years ago
 The message recommends proper memorial to Congress for the better protection of our Mexican border, and recites some instances of lawless. ness to illustrate the necessity of the measures urged.
 Gen. Crook and his Indian policy is eulogized and positive method. recommended for the stamping out O. bigamy and polygamous practices.
 Much space is given to the recom' mendatlon of measures to encourage immigration, which his exceliency treats in concise and practical man ner, and ends by suggesting unity of action upon some given system ol operation.

 By an act of Congress in February, 1881, the Superintendent of Public Instruction was empowered to select seventy-two sections of land in north eastern Yavapai county. "They were at the tune of selection covered with the finest of pine timber in the Territory"

 The register of the local land office in Prescott shows one homestead and thirteen pre-emption filings on these lands. These entries were made af- ter the passage of the act that with drew them from the public domain, but before the local office had re- Ceived any official notice of such withdrawal. While it would appear that the act itself conferrlng upon the Territorial authorities the power to select such lands would have justified the publication of their withdrawal in manner sufficient to protect both the Territory and the settler, it is not now clear upon whom the responsibil- ity falls. As matter of justice, such a transaction between individuals would hold good as to the settler, the other party being responsible for the acts of duly authorized agent. An error may not be malicious, but the result is the same in a transaction that involves dollars and cents. If the general government or Territo- rial authorities nov insist that these settlers shall vacate these lands on the ground of prior right of the ter ritory they simply do it on the prin- ciple of "might makes ris ht," and will do that which the laws of either would not or could not enforce in like transaction between individuals. 1t appears strange, indeed, that these facts should first come to light in public document of this kind, and that our chief executive in his mani fold duties should be first to realize the dangers attending these complica- tions. In reference to this matter the Governors statement is plain and comprehensive to whom all credit is due for putting it properly before the present legislature and the public. Now let justice be done to the poor home-seeker. Let our legislature concede to him by special act the lands already settled upon on pay ment of the regular government price. To secure other lands is, on the part of the Territory, impossible. No ordinary compensation would re- munerate the settler at this late day and to force the abandonment by him of his chosen home is coercion. "Let justice be done though the heavens
