WORLDS FAIR SUGGESTIONS.

NORHU p F hhN pONpGoAiOANys
 The action of the Chamber of Com merce to secure proper legislation and find out the sense of the people in diff ferent parts of the Territory in the rnat- ter of an Arizona exhibit at the Worlds Fair, has been so far very well encour,' aged.
 In answer to the circular letter issued by that body some time ago communi- cations have been received from Pres colt, Flagstaff, Yuma and other points. A letter from Prescott gives assurance of the hearty co6peration of the people up there.
 In Flagstaff citizens meeting was held and committee of three composed of J. F. Daggs, James A. Vail and G. w. Stewart was appointed and will t'e in Phoenix during the session of the Legis- lature to represent that section. The meeting was an enthusiastic one, and the Flagstaff people believe in liberal policy.
 J. w. Darlington, of the Yuma Seati- nel, suggests that Territorial Conven- tion for the consideration of thequestion of representation at the Worlds Colum- bian Exposition, and convention composed of representative of each newspaper of the Territory, which is in- tended to meet for the organization of a Territorial Press Association, meet in Phoenix during the session of the Legis- lature. This will have the effect to stimulate the proper spirit in any of the papers which might be luke-warnl on the proposition and result in the spread ing throughout the Territory of proper interest in the matter. Other letters from different districts favor liberal appropriation and all think that there had better be no representation than to have only half one.
 A suggestion is made by Hon. J. II. Teviston, of Cochise County, that the Board of Supervisors of each county make an appropriation to add to the amount appropriated them out of the amount apportioned by the Legislature. In a communication from Charles D. Poston, Statistical Agent of the Depart ment of Agriculture for Arizona, a plan is'offered, which is that the Legislative Assembly be memorialized to authorize an issue of bonds to the amount of sl00,' 900, payable in twenty years, with inter est at per cent per annum, to provide means to defray the expenses of the Arizona exhibit at the Worlds Fair ir Chicago, and that the expenditure bt distributed pro rata among the ter counties comprising the Territory through one assistant commissioner from each county.
 At a meeting of the Beekeepers' Asso citation yesterday afternoon, the question came up and a resolution was passed endorsing the suggestion that conven ton should be called.
 General interest is felt by everybody and all who have given an opinion are in favor of liberal appropriation, fol the future of Arizona unquestionably depends largely upon the advertising that is given to her resources and capa bilities. The Worlds Fair offers an op portunity for this advertisement, fol people from every part of the glob' will see and marvel at the fact that ther, is in the heart of a western desert a spo where the semi-tropic and citrus fruit can be raised in quantities to suppl! foreign markets as well as the domestic and where not one thousandth part O the lands susceptible to this cultivation have been reclaimed from the Govern ment.
 The mining and agricultural resource will also receive proper attention ant wonderful results can not but inure t the benefit of the Territory from proper representation.
