IT WASN'T GosPER, OH NO.
A Western CattIeman Brought
 up short in Chicago.

Many people in Omaha, especially stock owners, will readily recall ex- Secretary Gosper, of Arizona, now quite a prominent figure among western cattlemen. A few days. ago Gosper went to Chicago, and while there young lady advertised in the Tribune for employment as a shorts hand writer and received the follow ing letter:
 PALMER HoUsE, Chicago, Jan, 1O- D. 32 Tribune office: l noticed your advertisement. Am a stranger in the city; have considerable cores pond@ ence; have often thought would engage a shorthand writer, etc., to aid me. How are you situated for doing work evenings? l have DO room suitable or proper for lady and gent to work together in. Please address yours s. w. COOK,
 Care J. J. Gosper, Palmer House.
 P. S.-Are you genial and pleas ant lady?
 The Tribune says that a reporter was sent to MT. Gosper and ques> toned him relative to the MT. Cook, who figures in the letter as so much in need of "genial lady" as short hand clerk. Mir. Gosper was at first surprised at the request, and did not exactly recall the name. When the letter was shown him, however, he said MT. Cook was a perfectly hon orable and reputable man, who had asked to have letters sent to the Palmer House in his care, but as yet no such letters had been received. MT. Gosper was exceedingly sur> prised that the letter should have come into possession of the Tribune, and asked 10 have it given to nina request which unfortunately could not be complied with under the clr- cumstances.
 MT. Gosper also unfortunately re, fused 10 state just who MT. Cook was, whence he came, where he could be found or what he did for a living. In fact, MT. Gosper seemed to know next to nothing about his friend Cook, who has so abused the confidence the thoug ghtless Gosper placed in him.-Omaha Hera Id.

For the first time in it's history as a county, Maricopa possesses in the lower house 6 member who can really be considered as the peer of any of bis colleagues in intellect, industry and ability, in the person of Judge DeForest Porter. While in the past the efforts Of legislative delegations from Maricopa have been chiefly directed 10 preserving that County intact, headed by Judge Porter the present delegation has been aggressive and active in de- manding for their constituency legN islation of a beneficial character. and so far have been more successful than any other single delegation. Yel, in the face of these facts, the Phoenix Gazette has seen fit to in> augurate a warfare of petty perse- cution agaInst Hon. DeForest Porter and devotes what lime and talent it's obscure editor possesses in personall- ties as untruthful as they ale un> called for. No member in either House has labored more earnestly and with more success than MT. Porter to benefit his constituency, and the uncalled for abuse which the Gazette IS indulging in against him shows a spirit on the part of that journal so mean and contempti- ble as to demand condemnation from every right thinking man.-Miner.

We predict that enc of these days, and before long, too. there will be serious trouble concerning this matter.

 UNION PACIFIC sHoRTENs ITS LINE.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. Hon motion of Thompson bill passed the house to>day of good deal of interest. It amends the Union Pacific bill so far as to allow the construction Of road from Sioux City westwardly, via the Nio5rara valley to Granger, Wyom- ing, on the Unlon Pacific railroad west of the tooth meridian. He object of this is to cut off the beud made in the eastern portion of the
 Union Pacific, and It will it IS said shorten the distance from Chicago to Sun Francisco 250 miles. The bill has not yet passed the Senate, but it probably swill. It does not grant any land to the company to build the road. but does make the road when bnilt a section of the Union Pacific. So far as relates to prorating the exchange of freight cars, etc., it is understood that the company is ready to begin the build ing of the road at once.

THE Tucson papers, we are glad to see, are waking up to the imports ance of having railroad communica- tion with Phenlx. Both the Citizen and Star are now urging that Pima should make a move in this matter Here is what the Citizen says:
 "Now let us, instead of trying to build road to Globe, join forces with Pinal and Maricopa and secure the building of the road to Phenix at once. A brahch can afterwards be built to Globe, leaving the main line at a point fifteen or eighteen miles northwest of this place, which will be but very little out of a direct lin 10 Globe. Thls Reflection will not delay the building of the road to Globe, while it will secure the road to Florence and Phenix at once. Our people, so far as we can learn, are in favor of the change be- ing made, as it taps country that we are deslrous of reaching without delay, while there is little hope of securing the building of a road to Globe for some time to come, Let us do what we can do now. The road to Phoenix is one of the best that we could have. It can be built if we go to work for It now. Let us not throw away any more chances, but go to work and so shape matters that the road may be built.''

A correspondent of the PhenIx HERALD, who seems to represent the interest of the taxpayers of Marico- pa county. hts the nall on the head when he asks that taxpayers only should be allowed to vote to create q county debt. In discussing the proposition of voting bonds for a railroad he says: "It the question is to be left to a vote let the tax roll of 1884, be the poll list at the cleo ton, and only those who are on it have vote" The suggestion should be coined into law. A man who pays no taxes has nc right to vote 8 tax on others who will have the tax to pay. There IS no justlce in such things and it is time the laws were so amended that taxpayers only be competent to create debt.-Cittssn.

During the terrible dullness last summer skeptics said that Arizona had been knocked out of the bullion producing rtng; but they were of wrong, as usual, for according tothe annual statement made by Wells, Fargo & Co. of tue shipments of treasurer made from the Pacific coast states and territories, including Mex ico and British Columbia. in the shipment of gold bullion Arizona ranks ninth with $36O, 791; in gold dust she ranks sixth with $1O0,0OO ; in silver bullion fourth on the list with $3,1S9,62S. She occupies the same position as a producer of ores and base bullion, her output being $3 ,455,960- The total amount of treasure shipped by this company last year was $7,O56, ,379, and will probably reach fourteen or fifteen reillions for the present year.-Epi- taph.
