IT SHOULD BE BUILT

When proposition comes up for a new road, railroad or wagon road, in Ar izona, everybody should lend their es- sistance to secure it, for there is no one thing that will benefit the people more than good wagon roads Hundreds mines in this Territory could be work ed with profit and advantage could the ore be hauled out over good road. movement is now on foot to have wa gon road built south from Casa Grande as far as the Vekol and Monarch coun try. for the benefit of the mills that are now ready for operation or are about to be built in that vicinity. Pinal county can well afford to build this road, as it will no dout be the means of adding thousands of dollars to her assessment roll. The Vekol, the Monarch, the Col den West and the Silver Reef mills are all on the ground and will be in active operation before the road can be built, so there should be no time lost by the board of supervisors. Concerning this the Florence Enterprise says:
 "The board of supervisors is to be pc titioned to extend county road further south in the mining country below Casa Grande. The interest of the section in question demand better transportation facilities than now exist in the circuitous and sometimes impossible roads, and are entitled to the benefits of the discre- tionary powers of the board of supervi- sors in this matter Good roads are es- sential to the prosperity of the county -and they should be provided through out all portions where the interests of the people require them. Money ex- pended in building roads is invested wisely, for their assistance in the de- velopment of the natural resources of the country will augment Its prosperity far beyond the small sums necessary to be expended in their construction.
 There is already good road leading directly south from Casa Grande about 16 miles. It is desired that this road be continued sixteen miles further to the Pima county line at the halfway house. This. will accommodate all the mining camps from the Silver Reef, Jack Rabbit, GriZaba, Vekol and other pointr, and
 also several growing camps in Pima county, the trade of which will be brought into this county at Casa Grande. Private enterprise will provide a we'll
 near the dry well, about 21 miles from
 Casa Grande,, and from this point
 another road should be constructed a short distance to intersect the old Cop peropolis road, the Monarch and Golden
 West Camps and ou southward through
 the Sheridan pass to other important
 mining camps in that direction.

THE FEAST.
An Army of Workmen Now on the Ground.

The reporter walked down to Levin's Park, being attracted by the noise of hammer and saw ringing from that place throughout the valley He was. surprised to see what had already been. done in the way of preparation. The grand pavilion presents an attractive appearance, the posts at the ends, sides and down the center being covered with national bunting. The pavilion has
 been enlafged, being now about 60 by 125 feet.
 The feast this year in Tucson will surpass all others, as Messrs. Levin and Geesaman have spared no expense in securing attractions that will be en- tirely new to the people of Tucson. It was through the untiring efforts of MT. Levin that the bull fighters were induc- ed to come to Tucson, and this alone ! will bring hundreds of people to Tue son. who of course will visit the feast while here.
 All the old attractions will be present. T @ platform and seat has been put up for the celebrated San Xavier Raw Hide Band. which has played regularly every year for so long. This band is composed of Papago Indians, and it is said that
 one Indian belonging to it has played l for every feast since 1864.
 A large force of men are now at work
 erecting frames which will be covered
 with canvass and used as saloons,
 restaurants and stands of every imagin-
 able kind. The main booth has already been fitted up for the occasion, and is
 decorated handsomely already. This is
 now kept by MT. Dave Childs as saloon,
 and when the feast opens he will have the privilege of supplying all gaming
 tables with drinks of all kinds and | cigars.
 There will be two or three bands in
 attendance every night and perfect
 order will be maintained by special
 force of police. New attractions will
 be provided every night, greased pigs
 caught and grease poles climbed; sack 1 racing will be one of the fun provoking 2 | features. Celebrated Yaqui dancers
 will be here from Sonora during the entire time. Admission to the grounds
 will be free, and the fun will continue
 day and night.

THE Tucson CITIZEN is doing yoeman service in obtaining an expression of public opinion on the question of hold ing a constitutional convention, and the overwhelming majority opposed to it as shown through its columns, should have weight with the Governor, and furnish him sufficient excuse for refusing to call the convention. Some argue that as the act providing for convention to frame State constitution was passed by the legislature and duly approved by Zulick, Governor Wolfey has no re- course, but must comply with the law, notwithstanding the passage of the act is acknowledged to have been a great blunder, and contended by some as ob- tained through fraudulent representa- tions, and will entail very heavy and needless expense upon the Territory. But in opposition to this view it may be cited that we have many fool laws on our statute books, which are ignored be- cause .impracticable and inexpedient, and opposed by the more intelligent and conservative class of citizens who mould public opinion. Should the Governor feel warranted in disregarding the con- vention act, he may rest assured that he

Mat.

One half of 9 cent bot tie of this remedy cured him of bloody Aux, after he has tried other medicines without benefit MT. McCabe is per fectly safe in making this offer, as this remedy has never been known to fail in any case of collie, cholera morbus, dysen- tery, diarrhoea or bloody Aux when the plain printed directions were followed.

FIGURES THAT LIE.

There has been an especial effort on the part of the last retiring Governor and the 10th legislative assembly to greatly magnify the population and wealth of Arizona, and with that object in view they have addressed themselves to the Federal government, and ex-Gov- ernor Zulicks report to the Secretary of theInterior and the statehood msmor- ial passed by the last legislature are now being used to hoodwink the Federal power and electors of the Territory into the belief that Arizona is qualified to take upon herself the obligation of state hood.
 The U. S. census report gives the pop rlation of Arizona in 1880, at 40,440, and our late executive, Zulick, who seems to be somewhat of a lightning calculator, has swelled the estimate to S2,096 in 1sS2. .eAn increase in population of 42- 536, ormone thans10s per cent. in two years partakes somewhat of marvellous boom, and those who were residents of c- the Territory during that period will wonder if they were hibernating, not to have realized or taken advantage of the s, unexampled prosperity then prevailing. .e Zulick further maintains that the in crease in population since has been con .stantly going on, and the late legislative sE memorial, reckless of truth, declares that s-s Arizona has 100000 people resident 1 within her boundaries.
 The two years from 1880 to 1882 were undoubtedly the most prosperous which Arizona has experienced, and the in- crease in the vote for delegate to Con- gress from 1,701 in 1880 to Il ,262in 1882 .. is proof of healthy growth in popula tion. but it is also shown by similar evi- dence that since 1882 the Territory as regards population has been at stand 2 still. and between 1882 and 1886 actually a declined. as in the latter year the vote was but 19,S27, and in 1889 had in 2 creased to Il, ,63s, or 274snore than that i of 1882. A close estimate of the popula- tien in 1882 is 55,OO0, and it has not in creased materially since.
 - Zulick admits that the assessed value j of property in Arizona, for 1888, was about S26o00,oo0, but adds that ''tht < assessment rolls do not represent more ] z than, ,one-third of the cash value of the ara taxable property which will aggregate S75,000O0O." The legislative memoria adopts the latter estimate without quail
 
 !fication, conveying the impression tha @ s75,0o0,Ooo was the actual assessed value last year, whereas the Auditors repor
 places it at s25,OO0,OO0. Neithe, 9 Zuicks assertion that property is ass saessed for only one-third its actual valu'
 bear investigation. Cattle, which com
 prise large part of the taxable property ofthe Territory, were last year assessed
 at their full value and in many case
 above it, and other classes of propert.
 with few exceptions bore their just pro
 portion of taxes. Advocates of state
 hood have weak case indeed HheI
 they are compelled to resort to sucl flag rant exaggeration in order to give i
 the semblance of plausibility.-Silve

r. THE best evidence of the prosperity - growth and general good condition of town and county is the quality and evi- dent prosperity of its newspapers. There is more in this statement than casual readers are probably willing to admit, but if they will stop and consider mo- ment they will admit the force of our statement. The character of a newspaper presented to the stranger, is the one he P judges the community by. But it is impossible for any man to publish first class journal unless it be liberally patron ized We do not mean by this that every man in the city and county should contribute in acharitable way to its sup port; not by any means. When a newspaper adopts the plan of get ting something for nothing, a spe- cies of blackmailing, its usefulness is gone and its stability impaired. But what we insist upon is that news paper should receive the patronage of the city and county in winch it is pub lished. For instance, we know it is a fact that many of our people contend that they can get job printing done at lower rates in California and the East than in Tucson. The same argument if good. holds good when applied to the very men complaining, that articles such as they deal in can be purchased at cheaper rate in California and in the East than from them, but we con- tend that it would be wrong to pursue t practice of purchasing in these places, ignoring our merchants; every dollar sent away from this place retards its progress just so much. So far as printing is con cerned, we say enphatically that the prices charged in this city are no higher, all things considered, than in the East. We challenge comparison, and we do not think it fair, or good business, to avoid patronizing home printing offices. -.S1Fhere is no class or style of work that the CITIZEN office is not prepared to do. Our workmen are equal to any on the Pacific coast. There was a time when 1t was necessary to send away for print Q ing, but such is not the case now.

Such a state of affairs, to the uninformed would hardly indicate that this paper is published in city that is built on and surrounded by many miles of the fraud uient Peralta grant, but it is also true The harmony that has always existed with this pair has often been a subject of remark, but it continues to exist.
