Governor wolaey,s Report,

WASHINGTON. Oct 2l.-Louis Wolf
lev. governor OF Arizona, to-day submitted
his annual report to the secretary of the
interior. Concerning Mormons, the gov-
ernor says:
Arizona had a law DISTINGUISHING all
who practised, taught or encouraged
polygamy. The first legislative act signed
by my law predecessors was the repeal of
that act. / request and urge congress TO
repeal the act and re establish the above
territorial law. Politically the Mor.nons
seem to have adopted a plan OF sending
colonies or stakes" to surrounding terri
tories in sufficient numbers to form the
balance of power between the two politi-
cal parties. They are willing to trade
with either, but remain true only so long
as the interests of the church are best
served. Church is their Jaw and all other
law is subservient to the orders of the
church. The Mormons in this territory
number about 5000.
The total taxable property of the terri
tory is given at $26, SIS, 692; the total ter
%ritorial indebtedness 1852, 600, and the
total territorial. county and city indebted
ness about 81, 900, 9l9. The governor re
quests that congress be asked to pass a
necessary act allowing the territory to is
sue long time bonds. say fifty year bonds.
He savs he is assured these could be no.
gotiated at probably 4 per cent. The
acreage of the land entries for the year
aggregate 500, 1913 acres. The governor
urges that the Atlantic 4 Pacific railroad
lands be surveyed. as failure so to do vir-
tuslly wilhdIaws from settlement 4 half
of the entire belt OF land one hundred
miles wide by the full width of the terri
tory. except a small portion now SUR
veyed.
The governor says: Except the ship
ment OF ore, Arizona canno be said to
nave any export Not that
she is without articles to export, but for
the reason that railroad transportation
rates are too high TO permit. We need"
north and south railroads to connect with
the west transcontinental railroads"
Agriculture is in a fairly prosperous
condition. Stock raising is one of The
leading industries, and while the price of
beef has steadily declined, the increase in
numbers has been so great the assessable
value of aqRregate herds is well sustained.
Mining has had a healthy growth dur
ing the last year aud the mineral products
for the year 1883 are given as follows:
Copper, 81. 1877, 300 pounds; gold, $780,
600; silver, 81, 800. 600. With better rail-
road facilities the governor thinks the
mineral output would be greatly in
creased. The school system in Arizona.
the governor says, is an excellent one and
is being literally and fairly carried out.

STRIKE or N


AT II am. last Monday all th
Knights of Labor operatives fo
the mills at Moss Point, ScrantOI
and West Pascagoula, consistini
/, of some three hundred or NOR,
men, struck and suspended WORK
About an equal number Of steve
dores and baymen yer also calle(
in. but returned 10 work Wednes
day morning 10 load what lumber
they have o. can procure, having
had some understanding or mis-
understanding with their brother
Knights.
1t is said that the knights desir-
ed that a days labor in the mills
be reduced from eleven TO ten
hours, weekly payments, but the
real grievance seems to be that the
mill p%roplietors would receive no
communications or confer with The
Knights Of Labor as an Organiza-
ton, and express their determina-
ton not to recognize them at all.
Since the strike only one OF The
mills have been running, though
the L n. DAIMLER Lumber COmpa-
ny have been dong some saving
by men not belonging to the
Knights. 1t is rumored that the
Knights propose to prevent the
mills beng run at all, and that
speeches calculated to fire senti-
ment and forceab!e resistance are
being made at the meetings Of the
knights. This fact, if true, adds
to The gloom of the prospect. If
these w0rkmen, already naturally
in an inf1amable state of mind, are
led and Influenced by incendiary
spirits it is unfortunate for them
and may make trouble for The
community. We hope, however,
that the cooler heads among them
will WELD a stronger influence in
favor of law and order. The hands
now at work at the DantzIer Lum-
Der Company's mills are all white
men, and express the intention of
continuing work.
We are not fully informed of the
preparation of the Knights for con.
the strike, but the mill
p%roprlet0rs say they have agreed
among themselves not to Weld,
and that they are fully prepared
close their mills for an indefinite
lime. That they will not recog-
lize the Knights for any purpose.
It is evident, therefore, that the
knights have a hard fight before
hem. The mill operatives proba-
bly, averaged 81 per day, which Tor
