We CALL the attention of prop
erty holders in the town of St.
Johns to the fact that the land has
been surveyed and plats made in
duplicate thereof, by J. T. Hogue,
surveyor. We do not know wheth-
er Mr.. Hogue has been paid or not,
for his workout he should be paid
in accordance with his contract, for
he has executed the requirements
of it in a manner highly creditable
to him. We advise the owners of
lots, however, to be cautious en-
ough to investigate the validity of
the deeds to be given them, and see
if the title thus conveyed, is any
better than a squatter's right, be-
fore they go down in their pockets
again.

Odds and Ends.

l see it is proposed to allow Ice
land a prominent placei in the Cen
tennial of the Constitution" cele-
bration to be held next year. Why
not give Ireland the same promi-
nerce? We know that Lief Erick-
son an Icelander, discovered Amer
lea in the tenth century, and colo
nized what is now called Massa-
chusetts, Iceland, whose people
were originally Scandinavians, was
then a fourishing Republic. There
are grounds for believing, however,
that the Irish had already planted
Colonies on this continent. In the
Icelandic Sagas mention is made
of white race OF people found
there, and the country now COM
prising Virginia and Carolina is
expressly called Great Ireland. The
Tuscarora Indians of Carolina were
supposed to have Irish blood in
their veins, and their language
shows traces Of a Celtic derivation.
The story goes that Owen Chape-
laine, when captured by these In
dians in 1869, saved his scalp by
addressing them in Gaelic! BY all
means let Ireland be represented.
\ Welch prince, Madoc, is known
to have reached the coast of Vir-

named. Columbus lived and died

THE Albuquerque Citizen of the
18th instant, says: "St. johns is a
Mormon town, 60 miles from no
where, and that the HERALD repre-
sents the people of that town in
their animosity toward the rail
road" 1t further says that "the
railroad raised the devil with the
Mormons in Salt Lake, and that
railroads are promoters Of civiliza-
ton and not relished by backwoodS
Mormon settlements" 1t again
says ut is sustainer Of railroads
and an encourager of new ones.
Then musically winds up by say
ing 'its editor has no pass over the
road, and is not a representative Of
any corporation"
Yes, Mr.. Citizen, some of Us are
Americans, some Mormons, and
some MeXicanS. What the Rail
roads did in Utah we do not know.
They may have civilized the pao-
pie there and they may not. Iudg-
ing from the condition Of New
Mexico, we should say not. If SEN
ator Henderson is correct. sixty
per cent of the population of New
Mexico, are unable to- read and
write-stlll it IS penetrated by five
or six railroad lines. Thus if rail
roads are civilizers," they have most
disastrously failed in their mission
in New Mexico. We do not doubt
but the Citizen has profited by rail-
roads, but not in their capacity as
promoters of civilization.
The Citizen cannot make any
average-minded man believe a cor
poration, railroad or otherwise, de-
serves the good will of the people
or the press, that refuses to pay its
just pro rata of taxes, and by this
refusal, causing an excessive bur-

a GREAT part Of the HOlbrool

A GREAT part Of the Holbrook
Standard, paper which has its
conception in Flagstaff and its
birth in Holbrook, is taken up with
glowing description Of the latter
place. Parties seeking the invest
ment of $1,000 or $4,000 are in
vited and are assured of handsome
returns. 1t boasts of immense coal
fields, pine forests, placer diggings
and shady grove of cotton wood
trees.
1t is claimed to possess all that
is essential to the health and hap
piness of the invalid. The best of
hygiene prevails. Cloudy days are
unknown fogs, cyclones, billiards.,
sand storms and sun strokes. In
fact. all the wraths of God, except
floods Invalids ell route to Cal
ifornia are advised to stop over
there, to quaff and drink of this ex-
hilirating fountain of life.
The Standard further says Hol-
brook, in the near future, is to be
the great metropolis of the south
west, and to be the greatest Of rail
road centers. TO all Of this we will
say, sand sand! !! The most i'm
portant factor you have-the one
you have the most of aud the least
to say about. Now, Mr.. Standard,

A Southern newspaper remarks
that ''the pivotal States do not ia
vor free trade"
No State and nobody favors free
trade. A majority of the States
and of the people do favor a freer
trade.
There is no pivotal State except
New York. Upon its thirty-six
votes the Presidential election will
turn. The last Republican Presi-
dent was New Yorker, and so is
the present Democratic Executive.
The last two Secretaries of the
Treasury were from this State, as is
the present incumbent Of that Office.
All these officials were or are earn
estly in favor of that measure Of
tariff reform which it pleases mo-
nopoly mOuihpieces to stigmatize
as free trade"
Did not President Arthur and
Secretaries Folger, McCulloch and
Manning understand the sentiment
of New York? Were they not de-
voted to the interests and the peo-
pie Of their State?
The latest official declarations of
the sentiment of the majority party
in this pivotal State came from the
Democratic State Convention at
Saratoga and from the President in
his message. The Convention de-
manded-and upon this platform
the State was carried-that "Fedc-
raj taxation be straightway reduced
by sum not less than $1C0,O00,000
IL year" And it declared that the
taxes to be first reduced or altogeth-
er removed are those on imported
raw Materials" and those which
increase tie cost to our wage-earn-
crs of the common lie :essaries of
life"
This was reiterated and elaEo-
rated by the President. II is the
Democracy of the pivotal State
New York World.

We publish the following letter
from Gen. Jos. Wheeler, a member
Of the House Committee on Public
Lands, which will explain itself:
WAsHINGToN, Feb. 8, 1888.
EDITOR HERALD-A sub-commit-
tee on Public Lands, consisting OF
Messrs. Holman, of Indiana Stone,
of Missouri, and Payson, Of Hi
nois, have prepared and submitted
to the whole Committee bill which
proposes to make extreme changes
in tie laws governing the disposal
and occupation OF the public lands
The proposed law provides that
all public lands chiefly valuable for
deposits of coal, or other minerals,
shall he disposed Of at not less
than ten dollars per acre.
The proposed law also provides
that public lands chiefly valuable
for timber, shall not be sold. but
the timber thereon shall be apprais-
ed and sold at not less than the APP
praised value, but not less than ten
dollars per acre.
Feeling convinced that the pro-
posed legislation would take all the
public mineral and timber lands in
the south out of the market during
the present generation, and thereby
retard our development, am siren
uously opposing the bill, and shall
endesvor to prevent final action by
the Committee until [ can hear
from the people.
AS substitute for the proposed
measure | am striving to secure an.
amendment which will bring all
public lands of every description,
whether mineral, timber, or other,
under the operation of the Home
stead laws.
am anxious in this matter, to
promote the best interests of the
people of the southwest, and can
only hope to succeed in this by be-
ing definitely informed what the
people regard as theirbest interests.
To assist me in obtaining this

WE respectfully call the atten-
ton Of Colonel Bcvans, Special
Agent of the General Land office,
etc, etc, TO the following, which
we have clipped from the Las We
gas Stock Grower: The special
agent who has been a destroyil. g
vandal to the settlers Of the west
should recognize the fact that the
land department Of the govern
ment is not now run on gall, hate
and general turp;tude Mr.. Villas,
the new secretary Of the interior de-
partment, considers that the settlers
should be protected, not squelched.
1t will take u long course of heroic
and manly conduct on the part Of
the secretary of the interior to Off
set the lamentable doings Of his
predecessor. The first effort in the
reforms promised should be the
withdrawal of the special agents
from the southwest. Their unin-
telligent and more than useless
work has cost the government hun
dreds of thousands of dollars; it
has grievously wronged and fnan-
cially injured hundreds of strug-
Cling settlers, and has brought
about a deep-seated hatred Of gov
ernmental methods in land inves-
legations on the part of all the peo-
pie here"

definite information, will you be so
kind as to ask those of your read
ers who have studied and thought
upon the subject, to let me know
what, in their opinion, will be the
effect of the proposed legislation.
The Committee is now disposed
to make some concession in the
line of my views, and it will be
great assistance to me to be pos
sessed Of a thorough knowledge of
the wishes of the people.
JOSEPH WHEELER.
We are Of the opinion that the
changes proposed above would
make it possible for capitalists to
get control of all mineral and TIM
Der lands now unoccupied, and add
so much to the cost Of fuel and
lumber that the poor people would
be unable to make any improve
ments and a fire would become a
luxury that some could lily afford
to indulge. Would it not be well
f2r some of our citizens to take
hold of the matter, and make known
to Congressman Wheeler their ideas
as to the effect of the proposed
change, in the shape Of petitions,
protests or private letters.
