We propose, as n piece OF Interest Ing mat.

ranged alphabetically at each post office,

In order that we may make as good show.

will cali attention to any errors which may
exist as to the dates opposite their names,
and we would feel further kratified if every
subscriber would pay up before We make the
publlcation-this last request being as much
in behalf of the credit Of the list as for our
own profit.
In order that all may have an opportunit,

The Proposed Extra Session.

Unless it be necessary to fill the vacancy oc-
casIoned by the death Of the late Chief JUS
tIce, it Is said that the Governor is opposed to
calling Of an extra session Of the Legislature.
It is also denied that the Attorney-Gene
has given opinion favorable to the re-conven-
ing of the Legislature.
1t isa fact beyond question that the election
Of new Judge would not be Of much advah-
tage now. He could not help the Associate
Justices to decide the dockets which he did
not hear.
AS the Associate Justices will, therefore,
either have to do all the work themselves, or
in order to get assistance from the new Judge
must be put to the great trouble Of giving all
the cases new hearing. it is fair to presume
that neither OF the Associate Justices will
want help, which is SO dearly got Tho idea
OF infiicting such calamity on Judges who
have worked as faithfully as have our Asso'
ciate Justices, must be fearful TO contemplate.

Who Ought 10 be Elected Chief Jus'
tfce?

We make no pretcnse to authority on such
matters, and know not what is precedent In
cases of this kind, but 1t seems to us that IL
would be eminentIy wise and proper
Flrst-To elect the Chief Justice from one or
the Associate Justices.
Second-Elect one Of the Circuit Judges 10
the vacancy occasioned by the promotion OF
the Associate Justice 10 Chief Justice.
Third-Then elect a suitable man to fill the
vacancy on the Circuit Bench.
Reasons for doing So
First-It would show proper respect TO se-
nIor officers, ehd would save them the possi-
BILE humiliation OF having Junior judge
placed over them.
Second-The elevation of either Associate
Justice would be deserved compliment, or
just recognition of his past services.
Third-The plan Of promotion. as suggest
ed would crafty at least three persons and
displease nobody, viz: the Associate Justice
the Circuit Judge, and the"person who might
be elevated TO the Circuit Bench.

We also need law which will hang the

their houses. and then 60 of, TO let the build

We need law which would declare vacant

to protect themselves from the assaults o.
lynchers.

Ganc in london.

The London shops are just now glut- ted with wild fowl. There has never been such an abundance In the case of phaasants the supplyi normal andpretty regular. So many are wanted each day, and so many ;re forthcoming-like fowls or turkeys. Their production, destruc- ton and supply in the London market is So obedient to commercial rule that rheasants have scarcely the dignity of game. They are merely brightly plu- ma-ad poultry, sold with their feathers on. But the caso is otherwise with wooicock, snipc and teal. This present rlrntifuluess is q sign of the severe weather, and their cheapness is due p.-Iy to their plantifulness. But that does not explain it altogether. The poor things are cheap because in many in- stances their CarcassCs arc almost skel- Cyns.
 D.sides these We have ptarmigan and partridge. The ptarmigan are not so rlat,iul as in former winters. Sweden ..l Norway rather oyerdid the supply. l. seems now to be the turn for part .r-a. There is the familiar bird of our c&u stubblc and turnip fields. It keeps ttsrrice and its place. But the French w.Iidge-the red legged variety--are coming freely into market, and Russia is aauding Us over thousands of braces, which, after theezpense and risk of long carriage. can he sold at two-thirds the pylee of our own birds.-Pall Mall Ga ya.r4

Mnliouaires in Great Britain.

Thirty-one persons who died last year left above e2J0,CO0 of personality. No doubt in most of these cases the testa. tovs wero not born with this amount. If, therefore, we multiply thirty-one by twenty we shall have (Ou a somewhat high ystimate) the number of persons now living iu Great Britain who have more than e2j0, 900. If we add to these C!O another C2O for those whose realty and personality together exceed G25O, ,OOO, w. arrive at the fact that there are not above l.240 persons in the United King dom who have more than this sum. l Was dining with some people last week, several of whom might have been able to give a correct answer to tue query, how many persons worth more than l!jo, COG were now living in Great Brit ain Their guesses were hopelessly wrong, ranging between 10000 and 2j,- UOo. And vet, as matter of fact, there are probably fewer than my estimate, for l ought, suspect, to multiply by a lower figure than twenty.-LOndon Truth.

Call for A Half Cent.

The half cent has become a necessity in American trade, and the American Newsdealers' association will petition congress toestablish Q half cent coinage. On one cent papers the dealers profit is only half q cent, and in many instances foe half cent is lost because there is no coin of this value. An appreciable loss arises from this source in the course of a year. It is a favorite way in marking retail goods of all kinds to rate them in such a way that the half cent comes in. and in every case goes to the dealer.
 This odd cent in a large establishment certainly amounts to several dollars daily, which the buyers lose and the seller gains for want of one-half cent coin. The infnitesimal divisions of in du,try and retail supplied long ago made these small coins 8 necessity in Europe. A neutiIne is fifth of cent, Switaer' lud has a ccutime piece, Belgium @ two cnutimo piece; Germany has the pfennig, equal to one-fourth of Q cent.-Age of Steel

Tho Lorcd Flower.

It will be busy spring when we fail 10 call your attention to the primrose, anI there is a very good reason why the m..o annual suggestion in this news raper should not be omitted. Many, oh, SO many people love the primrose. To them probably it has its own sugges- lions, and particularly to English born people, whose poet made it famous, but vet even the youth seem to love the sturdy little flower, and they certainly never saw it by the rivers bank when they were boys and girls. Of course a man loves his youth time, and he is justified in it. If a primrose makes him think of laying his bare toes in the Gmpid waters of the stream in the drowsy day when he was only 10 or 12, and had world before him, why, let him love it on forever, till he dies,
 In that event, once each year, at least, when he sees the flower, he will be boy again, and that will do him no harm, if he were a good boy and loved the fields. If you doubt this sentiment you need to watch people who are glad when the primroses come into the stores. Most of them enkindle. Some matronly looking danes take it mp tenderly and kiss it and say, "Bless the dear" Hey, Mar ina, here's the little mon-the little prim- rose, said another. And it is so sturdy in its uprightness and so open faced q plant that you may forgive a sigh for vanished days as you watch the good folks and their solicitude for the flower that suggests so much.

@ THE ARIZONA SUGAR COMPANY o

The capisa stock of the company is one hundred thousand U00,0O0) shares of ten (Slo) dollars each.
 One-half of the capital stock will be sold in the Territory of Arizona, payable in land adapted to the cultivation of sugar beets, sugarcane sorghum and sac charine products at the market price.
 The other half will be sold for cash, at not less than par, for the purpose Of pur- chasing, importing and erecting machin- cry adapted to manufacturing domestic sugar.
 The fifty thousand shares reserved for the farmers can be paid for at any time within five years from the date of the organization in land or its saccharine productions, such as sugar beets, sugar cane, sorghum, etc., etc., and the sub scribers will be entitled to draw divi- dend pro rata on payments made.
 The fifty thousand cash shares must be fully paid on delivery, and will be entitled to a full dividend semi-annually.
 It is reasonably expected that the company can declare a dividend of 20 per cent per annum on current business, and have some land left.
 After the capital stock shall have been disposed of and one-half fully paid in cash, the company will be authorized to issue equal to one-half of the capital stock, bonds secured by mortgage, upon all the property of the company, pay able in twenty years, with interest at the rate of percentum per annum, payable semi-annually, for the purpose of devoting the proceeds to the purchase of land, and for no other purpose; pio- vided, always, that these bonds cannot be issued nor a mortgage on the prop erty executed without the approval ot a majority of the shareholders.
 The Government of the United States offers to pay bounty of two cents per pound or 40 dollars per ton on domestic manufactured sugar, and to admit free of duty, until the first day of July, 1892, all machinery required for its manu- fracture.
 The Territorial Legislature, at its last session, passed an act exempting all land used in the cultivation of sugar beets. as well as the plant and machin- cry employed in the manufacture of do- nestle sugar, from taxation for ten years.
 We imported from foreign countries during the last fiscal year, sugar, mo- lasses, candy and confectionery to the value of s1Ol ,293, 1926, or sent away up- wards of one hundred million dollars, which can be retained at home by en- couraging the manufacture of domestic sugar.
 The average yield of saccharine matter from sugar beets in France is only per cent, in Germany 10 per cent.
 In California the average yield is 15 per cent.
 Iels confidently believed that the soil and sun of Arizona will yield much larger polarization from sugar beets than France, Germany, California, or any other country; and if these premises arc correct, the profits will exceed that of any other sugar factory in the United States

Six and Nine Months Ahead.

Worl; is now being pushed on the next Christmas numbers of the maga- zines and periodicals.

No body upset5 the conventional order of things more than the magazine men, The April magazines are now printed, tAe numbers for the early summer months are being made up" or ar- ranged six months ahead of time. The reason that the Christmas pictures are being made is that Christmas work, be. ing very particular and heavy in qual' fly, practically goes on all the year. New York Sun.
Arizona republican., 1891-09-19

The farmers who may subscribe to the stock of the company will have vital and personal interest in the production of sugar beets.
 Farmers and capitalists can estimate the chances of loss and gain as well as the directors of the company, but it may be promised that agricultural land free from taxation forms safe investment, and that machinery which can be inn ported free of duty and enjoys immu- nity from taxation, is only subject to loss by fire, which can be covered by insurance.
 Land in Arizona will produce at least twenty tons of sugar beets per acre, twice annually.
 The market price will depend upon the quantity of saccharine.
 Sugar beets require neither bagging nor storage; but afe cash at he mill, and the company might even be able to ad- vance money on unencumbered land de- voted to their cultivation.
 It is a matter of consequence in some parts of Arizona that sugar beets ex- tract alkal from the soil better than any other production.
 After supplying the home market in Arizona with sugar, molasses, confec- tions, etc., transportation is the most serious question, and the smaller bulk the production of the country can be reduced into the better for the producer.
 Sugar will bear transportation better than hay, grain, or ores.
 A sugar mill at some railway depot with capacity of 100 tons per day, at $5 per ton for sugar beets, would be a great benefit to the farmers and mer- chants of Arizona.
 The cooperative system of offering the farmers one-half of the capital stock payable in the productions required for the mill has worked well in Germany and France, and in fact the cooperative system in every country is the out growth of civilization.
 The farmers interest in the company will, be guarantee to the nonresident shareholders of viglant watchfulness over the management, and by united ef- fort staple production may be intro duced in Arizona which will enliven the source of all permanent prosperity AGRICULTURE.
 It is not to be overlooked that after the aaccharine matter is extracted from sugar beets the residium forms excellent food for sheep, cattle, hogs, poultry, etc., and nothing that comes from the soil is wasted.
 The cultivation of sugar beets may be carried on by the least intelligent labor. Indians, Mexicans, children may all be employed in transplanting the beets and gathering the crop. Only the mill re- quires intelligent labor.
 Sugar industries are being started in many States of the Union less adapted by nature to the growth of saccharine products than Arizona, and an effort on the part of the residents may encourage assistance from abroad.
