An Appeal to Women Writers.

Mr. James Payne, in England, be-
moans the thoughtlessnesso of the strange
ladies who write IL him without letting
him know whether they are single Ot
married. For it seems that these ladies
are offended when he wrongly addresses
them as either Mrs" or Miss" To
this wall from the English writer might
be added one from the American re-
viewer, who would often be glad to
know whether the Mary Smith, whose
new novel has come into his hands, is
a spinster or not. If he reviews her
work at any length he may wish to refer
to the author by name.
To speak Of her simply as Mary Smith
implies greater familiarity than the case
seems to warrant. If he speaks of her as
Mrs. Smith, he may provoke her anger
if she happens to be unmarried, or If she
is married she may be equally dis
pleased at being called Miss Smith.
Under either condition the reviewer
may gain for himself a reputation for
inaccuracy. Cannot author and pub

some indication of the truth?-Helen

G2EECXE,

Many people ron tie east n passing
through Cur territory by the Southern
Pacific route are impressed with the
mistaken idea that the country IS IN
inviting as an agricultural region; that
il cannot be productive, or otherwise it
would be utilized to a much greater ex-
tent in the production Of crops; and in
short. it is pronounced "desert," where
even the rugged jack rabbit finds it
hard to pull through. 1T must be con-
fessed that the unimproved condition
OF the country gives rise to such
thoughts in the minds of many fairly
Intelligent and honest people, who hail
from districts so radically different in
the nature of climate and soil, that
they are in no mood to accept the ex-
plantations that our people are prepared
TO make, showing that by the applica-
tion of water and fair GUILTY. alton, no
country on the face Of thu globe can
excel southern Arizona in either the
variety. the quantity, or the quality of
its products. A few weeks ago we were
a passenger from Yuma to this
city, and during the passage heard
many uncomplimentary remarks made
by fellow passengers, who wondered
what people could do IN this country &c
keep from starving to death. We had
little to say in reply, but eventually VIC
reached Maricopa where considerable

improvement has been made within the
past two years. The surface, which is
very level, had been cleared Of the
sage and mesquite, and few small fields
cultivated. In short the desert appear
ance had been removed few miles away,
and there looked to be a chance to live.
1t is hard TO believe such a change
could come over anyone regarding this
subject in so short time as was noticed
in the case of some who had talked
most freely about "barrel Arizona"
They expressed themselves as quite
willing to locate here if they could get
such land to settle upon, when in real
ity We had been passing a very similar
country for at least hundred miles.
All needed was the application of well
directed industry to show what the soil
was capable of producing. 1t is just
such demonstrations-ob lessons we
might call them that will dispel error
IN reference to Arizena's latent re-
sources. 1t is just what the CITIZEN
has always claimed: our territory will
not remain in the back ground many
more years. Such improvements as the
Casa Grande people and some near Tue
son and elsewhere along the S. p. Ry. |
are making, forces the conviction on the !
travellers that if Arizona is not para
disc it Is at least 10 fault of its soil and |
climate and that it is one of the most in
viting spots for the homeseeker in our
broad country.

Arizona Kicker: We learn that a gen.

we feel it our duty to utter a few words

Remain sober during business hours.
Don't be to anxious TO pick up a quar-
rel in order to show off. Have a back
room where the boys can sit down and
discuss financial questions. If any of
our people want $50 for sixty days don't
demand that the whole town shall in
d-rse. Make your rate of interest a
reasonable one. Treat every faro bank
alike, and show up IN one saloon as
often as another. By paying attention
to the customs and characteristics
of our people, you will do a rushing bus
