 The Maricopa mails get in on time now, the passage of the rivers being made by the ferry ] The Board Of Supervisors made
 good selection for Clerk when they
 chose MT. J. L. B. Alexander. It is sufficiently cold in the Rio Grande valley to freeze a man to death, which it did near Albu-
 querque.
 McCartY and Russell, the burglar

 Justice Wood, to await the action or
 the Grand Jury.
 Morgan R. Wise Is circulating

 The community will regret to learn that the Rev. S. P. Davis, of the Baptist Church, and his estima- ble lady contemplate removal from Phenix at an early day. They will go to Oregon City, Oregon, where they have friends and where the Rev Davis hopes to find better field Of opeI aliens. l. occurs to us that the Baptist Church should make an -ex- tra effort to retain Nr Davis and lady here. Their social qualities and hls abilities as minister can not be readily replaced.
 It i, pretty well settled that Gen. H. G. Rollins will be speaker ef the Legislative Assembly. The con- test is narrowed down between the General and Judge Porter. but the fact that Maricopa will ask some great favors of the next Legislature will prompt them to give Pima the speakership- General Rollins will make an able presiding officer, and hls experience as a member of the Council of the Eleventh Legislative assembly will eminently fit him for that responsible positlon.- Citizen
 Mr. Eugene Estabrook and family will leave to>morrow for Phoenix, with the intention of making their future home in that beautiful little city. We regret that MT. Esta- brooks business interests necessitate this change of esidence. He Is one of the best citizens we have ever had here. Mrs. Estabrook is an estim> able lady and her absence will be keenly felt by her many friends in this valley. The good wishes this community will attend them wherever they may ga-Fl0rence

Trott offered for the return ut> terly refused.
 A move is being made'among our ( business men for much needed im> on the Maricopa road. That portion of it between Phoenix and the river is, doubtless, the worst ' pIece of road in ihe Territory, at , .Imes, and is utterly impossible for g Oaded teams and vet over that | q
