Judge w. C.

He gives is ss his opinion that New Mex leo is republican. and consequently that if the proposedsta,e were admitted into the Union it would increase the Repub- lican strength in both branches of Con- sress.

The school census taken in this terri tory develops some remarkably curous features. According to the census taken in this county there are only i,sS9 school children, while Maricopa claims ,,so6. There are only 3o4 children listed m Prescott, while Flag.taf sends in s4o names in this county and Phe- nix in Maricopa county comes te the front with I.oss. h Flags,a6 against the s&o children enrolled by the census marshal this year the teachsrs' reports for the last year show that the total nun Der attending school during the year vas only Ios or considerably less than one half, while Phenix makes a still poorer showing, there being ITS out of the I,osS who did not attend school las, year. In explanation of this the Her. aid states that the Phenix district ena- braces all the territory not covered by
  the other thirty-three districts. This H very large portion of the county and include: :many Mexican children. The same is claimed to be the case in this county. viz, that all the territory not in- cluded in the boundaries of other dis ricts belongs to Prescott district number I. but for some reason or other the cen sus was not taken in this way. the result beieg that several hundred children prob ably in the county are nor enumerated Tn the census. Another result will be, assuming this to be fact, that for the next two years Yavapai county will not receive her just pro rata of territorial school money.
