father came from the Office, and for the

Territorial.

Assessor Henry Buchanan has just re-
turned from Trip through the country,
visiting Harshaw, Crittenden. Huachuca
country, La Noria and Pantano.
At Crittenden all is rather quiet.
Stock and feed there are generally fairly
good, but could be better.
Harshaw is lively and has prospects
for more business soon. The mine and
mill belonging to Jas. Finley have been
again leased 20 his forme- miners, and
they will commence mining and milling
IN about a week. The Trench nine,
owned by Chas. Marsden, is working and
furnishing employment for . miners.
Hauling from the mine is let by con-
tract. At the Mowry a new extension is
said by mining men there to be bonan-
IA. This mine EN- lloys 20 mer. The
ore is splendid for smelling purposes
and finds ready market.
AT Washington Camp the mine owned
by the Westinghouse Co. is not at pres
emit working Some fine new buildings
are erecting there.
From the mining region the man who
is more dreaded than an army OF ordi-
nary representatives of the law, though
peaceful enough appearing, headed for
the stock growing country particularly in
the vicinity of La Noria and Lochiel was
never more bright. The stock are
sturdy and fat, and re gaining, feed be-
ing high. The fancy breeds belonging to
Colin Cameron are highly spoken OF by
Mr.. Buchanan. No sales are reported
from that portion of Pima, and the cat
tie men first throuh there would find
fine beef
In the Huachuca mountains this year
cattle are fully as good as in the Lochiel
vicinity. The feed is high, and sufficient
for the large herds of stock roaming
through that region. There is no danger
of the mountains having more stock
than there is fe d for, as occurred last
year. Water is plentiful.
At Babacon.ari and in the vicinity OF
the Empire ranch a similar report Of
good feed and good stock is made.
Jose Andrade is building largo cor
raj and buildings for a horse ranch,
where he will train stock, about 20 miles
southeast of town. HIS ranch in Har-
shaw canyon did not allow him needed
room.

No doubt to the CITIZEN il seems i'm
possible that there should be other than
a .mercenary motive in the kindness
shown Mr.. Walker by those who attempt
ed to protect him: but there are people
who are actuated by higher motives
than greed and Rvarice.--Star.
We regret TO say that such is our be.
lief in the present case. Nor are We
alone in this. Phe Florence Enterprise
published at the home OF John and
Lucien Walker, boldly charcterizes the
motives Of the Star as OF the most merce-
nary kind. The milk OF human kindness
that flows in the direction Of John
Walkers gold is ignobly base. We care
not from whence 1t may come. Lucien
and William Walker and their unfortun-
ate brother John, have the sympathy Of
this entire community.

According to the Los Angeles Times

According to the Los Angeles Times
the United States governmet is about
to undertake some remarkable expert
ments for the purpose Of ascertainlng
whether rainfall can be procured by ar
tificial means. In the Fiftieth Congress
Senator Farwell, Of Illinois, was instru-
mental in having $4,000 set apart for
such purpose, and in the last Congress
he succeeded in having 81 600 additional
added to further this interesting expert
ment. Among scientists this much
mooted question of whether rain can be
produced by conclusion has given rise
to arguments both for and against the
theory. The latter part Of this month
or early In June will witness the begin
ming Ct q series Of experiments which
cannot fail to be of absorbing interest to
the whole country, and especially TO
those western states wherein vast areas
OF territoty are barren for want Of nat
ural irrigation.

TIE newspapers OF Arizona have at

THE newspapers OF Arizona have at
one time or another given their reasons
for or against statehood. Now, We will
recognize the fact, says the Mohaye
Miner, that a state government would
cost our people much more than under
the present form. Then, why do you
wish to change it? you will ask, and our
reply is that We do not wish to make the
change to increase the governing ex-
pense but to increase the taxable prop
erty Of our glorious territory. AS
state we can induce immigration to aid
in developing our resources. The mere
fact of our holding constitutional con-
yention will be heralded broadcast over
the whole United States and our won
derful resources discussed. We are now
known as the country OF the horned
toad and Gila monster, while We have a
finer soil and more equitable climate
than any other state or territory on the
Pacific coast. Eastern people must be ed
ncsted to the fact that Arizona is not
barren desert; in fact it is far less 30
than is California, country known to
the eastern mind as one remove from
Paradise-s land flowing with milk and
honey. AS state We can make sp-
preparations for artesisn wells, storage
reservoirs and other necessary means OF
retaining lands now worthless, but
which with water could be made to rival
the vale of Vslambrozia, Our methods
OF assessing and collecting taxes could
be 30 much improved on that in place of
the tax roll of the territory footing up
twenty-five million dollars, it could be
increased to nearer one hundred million.
Under our present congressional law,
our poor Old territory is tied hand and
foot, as is every county within its Dor
ders, because We are an infant in swad-
ding clothes, and OF necessity must be
under the espionage OF congress. LIS
there anything to induce man OF means
to immigrate to land under the direct
control Of the federal government, and
the whole paraphernaliao Of the territorial
management is placed in the hands OF
some old, WORE out ward politician! Give
ue a state government, with right to
elect our own covering officers; with a
right to make laws suitable for this To-
cality without the chaperonage Of Uucle
Sam, and our country will grow and
spread like green bay tree under q
genial summer sun.

Changing Defeat to Victory.

The genius of Sheridan at Winchester
changed defeat to victory. So when
feeble a0versaries in the shape OF in

gress Of that obstinate and malignant
foe, malaria, Hostetter's Stomach Bit

Chills and fever, dumb ague, bilious re

To take a course Of the great prepare

They Went Swimming.

4 Tucson man had bit Of experience
which was funny for all concerned, with
one exception, and particularly for the
spectators.
A certain young woman in the city in
addition 10 being rather attractive is
daring to more than an ordinary degree.
A challenge generally means an accept
anoe with her, but when the Tucson
man aforesaid dared her to swim in Sill
yer Lake, it was almost too much. Not
quite, however, for an hour later they
were in bis buggy and soon after in snug
bathing suIts-his was very snug, as ha
weighs 225-and enjoying the limp
GOODNESS of the babbling waters. The
water was Of the best temperature, AID
they we're enjoying Silver Lake to its
utmost, never noticing that carrysll
way approaching far down the road
from Tucson, Their aquatic sports OF
splashing water and throwing mud were
in furious progress as the rig drew up,
right alongside the lake. In il was just
one woman, WHO evidently took an in
terest in the 225 FOUNDER, and she was
very, very angry. She jumped down,
gesticuIating at a lively rate and keeping
time with her tongue. The young
nymph came in for the major portion
of her dissertation, though the words
had as little effect on that person AZ the
water on the proverbisl duck, for which
Just then she had fellow feeling. She
laughed, gave back some opinions Of her
own, and continued eplsshing.
After her speech, Madam on the bank
returned to Tucson. Having little fancy
for q csrryall as q vehicle. she unhitched
the carriage in which the aquatic pair
had arrived, rendered them her parting
blessing, headed for Tucson and left
them to get back - best they could.

FOREST PARK INSPECTED

by Now Haven Omc1als to Get Points
For Home Use.
% Yesterdays Springfield Republican says:
New Haven has just spent 5000, 900 in buy
ing sites for parks, and the Elm City OFF,
cials are getting all the information they
can as to laying them out. Hence Mayor
Sargent, chairman ex- officio of the park
board, and II. T. Blake, a commissioner,
came up from New Haven yesterday and
spent the greater part of the afternoon en-
joying the beauties of Forest park and its
prospective Pecowsic addition. They were
accompanied by Professor Northrop of
Clinton, Conn, the well known promoter
of forestry and landscape gardening inter
ests, who speaks fondly of E. ID. Barney as
"my old boy" referring to Mr.. Barney's
boyhood spent near Mr.. Northrop's home.
The party dined at the Massasoit, where
Acting MayorMurphy Rev. DR.. Buckingham
and delegation were waiting. The party
took special car to Forest park, the
Springfield citizens on board including
Park Commissioners D. J. Marsh, j. E.
Taylor, E. 81. Barney and o. n. Greenleaf,
besides John Olmstead, James Kirkham,
Justin Sackett, b. s. Lee and TreasurerA.
| E. Smith of the street railway company.
Frantic efforts were made to stop the
car by people waiting to ride to the park,
as the party bowled along toward the
South end. There carriages were waiting,
and escorted by Mr.. Marsh the party drove
first over the Dickinson addition to the
park. ALI dismounted on the knoll over
| looking the Barney place and surveyed the
| possibilities which nature has provided in
beauty OF landscape, natural ravines, woods
! and winding stream. The next stop was
| at the pavilion, where children were romp-
ing about. Mayor Sargent could not help
| expressing the wish that New Ravens East
| Rock grounds were as accessible, especially
to poor people. He was surprised to see 30
many women and children spending a week
day afternoon about the park. Then the car
riages drove to the Barney place and all
admired the exquisite lotus towers in
bloom on the artificial ponds. The climax
was reached on the promontory south of
Mr.. Barney's residence, which commands
such beautiful view of the river and city.
Turning homeward, the visitors were tax
en- through the Mcknight district. The
visitors took liberal notes, and exchanged
views. 1t seems that New Haven has
bought nine parks, including West Rock
with its historic Judges Cave. There are
four seaside parks, including one suburb
an ground down the harbof Annual ap-
| preparations are expected from the city
and town government of New Haven for
| their maintenance.
