THE RAILROAD.

The Arizona and Southeastern Rail- road, now building between Fairbank and Bisbee, has run against snag in its progress up the San Pedro. The ranch men along that classic stream do not propose to accept song in lieu of having their ditches and fields cut in twain and crops destroyed-and they are right. It is said that under the new law con. demnation of the right of way can only be made by decree ot the Court, hence the building of that portion of the road will be delayed for some time. While of course the owners of the proposed road know their own business best, the EPITAPH still clings to the opinion that a mistake has been made in not build
 ing through Tombstone. The prelimi- nary survey by the latter route, as shown by the numbered stakes to Forests ranch, at the mouth of Bisbee canyon, gives the total distance to Bisbee at 38. 5 miles, while the location selected, around the south end of the Mule noun tains is exactly 36.4 miles. Surely the business of Tombstone ought to be worth the difference in the cost of the road. But as the matter is settled, the only satisfaction the people of this city can have is to say in after times, "I told you so," when the builders of the road will regret their course.

There is a decided feeling both in New Mexico and Arizona that the ter ri,orial board of assessors should not rate cattle for taxation this year higher than $Io head. Il his is just and equitable. The stockmen everywhere demand this rate and nothing higher. It is really the full value of the cattle as they are now selling. A vigorous and telling protest will be heard from the range if the assessors monkey with an unjust valuation this year of grace Stock Grower.

 "Of course," remarked Miss Rawhide of Tombstone, "I can easily understand how it is that the best society of New York does not comprise more than 4oc souls. Now, in Tombstone there are a great many cultured people who care very little for fashionable gayeties, and rarely go out. don't suppose that we ourselves have more than Iso who live up to the necessary requirements and demands of fashionable life, and who really get into refined society with bott feet"
