THE Signal Service thermometer re- corded a max mum tempera ture on Thursday of 106 do grees. This was reached for few hours only during the hottest part of the day, the night following being pleasantly cool and refreshing, as indeed is every night in this country. It is a misfortune that our local office is not provided with wet-bulb thermometer to record the sensible temperature, or humidity of the atmosphere. It is believed that difference of fully twenty degrees will be found to exist in this climate with such an instrument, owing to the exceeding dryness of the atmosphere. Thus it will be seen that registration of 106 degrees would give the same relative temperature here that S6 de- grees does in the humid atmosphere of the east-a fact that explains our comparative immunity from the op- preston that such high temperature implies in the east

.e---.s . WHtFEvER personal animosities and | oickt rings may exist amongst the resi- | dents of Phenix, and they are many, when any measure of public interest comes up they join hands in their ei- forts to further it 10 a practical com pletion. This nice discrimination be- tween public and private interests is a feature worthy of emulation in every town in the territory. By it's practi- cal workings the many valuable enter prises that build up commercial cen ters are secured and indirectly through them all private interests prosper, The influence exerted by the cooper ative efforts of community is really wonderful, and as one industry after another is secured thereby, its con certed power for good increases. The formation of local organization un- der the character of a Board of Trade, cordially countonanced by the har- mo. bas co-Cl era ion Cf |; e e pie, would signalize the beginning of an era of prosperity such as but few If our people dream of. By mapping out line of successive enterprises and concentrating their efforts to the accomplishment of each in turn, a great deal can be done to change the present quiet condition of our town into one of bustling activity and pros perity. The people of Phenix are zealously laboring for additional rail road facilities and by their activity they will secure connections that our own geographical condition should command. They keep constantly be- fore railroad men the advantages of a connection with the Salt river valley while for lack of repreS en a ion those ot our own grand valley are unknown to them. There is scarcely a doubt that one or more railroads can be SC |
 cured through this valley if proper representations are made in the righ direction, and if we fail to secure then 1t will be the result of our own mactiv ity. There are many industrial enter prises that we can likewise secure through the harmonious efforts of ou
 people, and we urge upon them tn, necessity of organizing for the goot work in this direction. There is plent, of idle money available for every legit innate enterprise of remunerativ' character, that can be secured for in
 vestment here if the attention of capi
 talists is directed to this promising
 field; it will not come without solicit
 ation and we may wait in solitude un
 til doomsday for it unless we make al
 effort tc interest it in our opportuni
 ties. We again urge upon our citizen
 the necessity of at once organizing fo
 a progressive effort in behalf of ou
 town and valley. Let all personal di
 ferences be temporarily set aside fo
 the public good and after awhile ther
 will be too much individual prosper ity to leave time to indulge in persor , alities amongst our citizens.

TIE Supreme Court has overruled the decision of Judge Porter in the mandamus case of the Asylum com missioners against Governor Wolhey, holding that he has discretionary power in signing warrants. This is a complete upset to some of the recent political calculations and indicates that decisions in the contests between the appointees of the late lamented and those of the present governor may cause the latter to smile

THERE seems to be a great diversity ol opinion throughout the Territory as to the propriety ot calling an election the coming fall for delegates to a con stitutiondl convention, as provided by an act of the Fifteenth Legislative Assembly, but we have seen little or no argument presented in support of the positions assumed by the press upon either side of the question. There are many points bearing upon this subject to be considered in arriving at satisfactory conclusion, which should be discussed in a fair and dispassionate manner before decisive step is taken. In the first place, does necessity ex- ist for framing a state constitution at this timeH The population of our Territory does not exceed sixty thous- and, large percentage of which con tributes little or nothing in the way of taxes. Under our present system with its expenses partly assumed by the general government, the territorial in- debtedness is constantly increasing and the utmost economy in public ex- penditures is an imperative necessity to preserve an approximate financial equilibrium. The expense of q con stitutional convention, with it's incl dent election and ultimate submission of the result to the people, will involve an outlay of fifty or sixty thousand dollars, and what do we receive in re- turnH Nothing but an unserviceable document that possesses no force oi value whatever until Congress sees fit to endow it with life If it should be rejected by the people the expense of the experiment will not be at all abated. At & proper time in the flu ture authority will be given the peo pie of Arizona to frame a constitution and become a state in the usual man ner, and any undue haste upon oul part will not bring about the desired result any sooner than suits the pleas ure of Congress. But little fault ear be found with our present govern ment. Politicians will meet with dis appointments under state govern ment as readily as under the terri torial system and just as much dissat isfaction will exist. To be sure W, will secure larger representation il Con ,ress and thereby fiatter the am bitions of some of our aspiring states men, but this is scarcely fitting com pensation for the additional burden the chan e will lay upon the shoul ders of the taxpayers. Under th, most favorable circumstances this i all we can hope to gain and it canno be secured any sooner by the forcin process involved in this movement. II our candid opinion, if the governo can find a reasonable excuse for nc issuing the election proclamation ie quired by the law, we believe his aC ton will be sustained by the people a heartily as it will be condemned b the professional politicians.

The following, from the pen of one of the most practical and sensible of political economists, is worth place in the mind of every producer. es- peciaHy the farmer. her iculturalist, stockman and miner. It is the secret of success in the business of proiuc- tion. He says:
 "The bugbear of overproduction is one that is always looming up like an object seen through fog and mag nified by the dense medium. Indus trial history is full of examples of new uses found for commodities cheapeneI by more effective processes of produc- ton or manufacture. And cheap food and clothing quickly give rise to in creased consumption, and always re- suit in capitalized cheapness of other products. So that a farmer should never consider as worth entert aiming the question Of reducing the quantity of his produce because the prices are low. The real question at issue is how le can lessen the cost and so get as mtch money and perhaps better profit from smaller area than be- fore"

A Ghostly Guard.

A rumor is current in Athens, Ga.t to the effect that there is rock in Clarke county, about six miles from town, ubon which no man dares to tread. The SUI Ter stitious say that about twenty or twenty five years ago an old gentleman burieH coffee pot full of gold at the foot of this rock and has since died. and when a man passes that way his ghost appears and drives him of. Parties passing near the place have been run more than a mile by this invisible ghost. They say tht at when they come near the place, ev en though it be perfectly still day, noise can be heard like terrible cyclone, and the tall pines which surround the rock begin to bow and many of them fall to the ground. One Sunday two gentle men from Athens, who heard the rumoTs and doubted them, visited the rock with the intention of proving the reports to be false, but they did not stop long. They climbed to the top of the rock, when they became astonished by hearing a terrible crash. Hardly before they knew 1t large pine tdmbled to the ground right at their feet. While an examina- tion of the tree was being made, which was twisted from the ground, another fully as large came down with crash. The explorers" then skipped out."- IndianaDOliS Sum-
