Is ARIZONA ready. for .Statehoodi We believe not Our opinion is based on the fact that the territory, and nearly every county are, heavily in debt, that our annual expenses as a State will reach $l28,0OO if no more and that constitutional convention will cost us at least S5OO0O. The general government at the present time pays the salaries of the Governor, Secretary. our Supreme Judges and the expenses. of the legislature, which will fall upon us to pay, as soon as we becosne state. To sum up the whole expense at the end of the first year of our statehood and we. cannot see how it will amount to less than S225. 900. Again we have less than 60,O0O hapu- latlon. Statehood is an expensive luxury. Before. we go further in the matter let us stop and look the facts over very carefully. What are we to gain by incuring all this expensel Let us first get out of debt, or provide a way to do so and then go for statehood. Let not, the ,lQ0l politicians, who want to be U. $. Senators all of whom believe that they are competent, to fill the position, lead us astray in this important and vital matter.-Yuma Sentinel, :.

CoCONINO COUNTY.

The bill introduced by Hon. John c. Herndon, to create the county of Coco .nino has, passed both. houses. of the Legislature, and will no ,doubt receive Governor, Irwin's approval within day or twos The division of, Yaxapai county means great deal to the resi- dents of that portion comprising the new county. They no longer haze to travel l5S miles to the county seat to transact business and attend court. ;The circumstances heretofore. existing have been a source of great expense land annoyance to our people. When court was in session no, one knew what minute he or, she would be called to Prescott, as juror or a witness in some case or other. Although we had one-third of the taxable property of the county, we never received any ben eft of the. road. fund, and our. high ways have been neglected, Itis hoped that our county officials will do:all in their power to repair benafcial roads in this county, as this; is a very inn portant factor in our future prosperity.
 We have county with substantial resources, resources that time will i'm prove. The lumber in Cerests are vet in their infancy, and the cattle and wool interests will increase as time rolls on. We also have the finest building stone in the United States and the quarrying industry will some day be one that Coconinof will be ia nous for. Our agricultural possibili ties have been tested and we are capa- hle ofraiSing almost all the necessaries of life, more than we can consume with che present population We are shipping today thousands of pounds, of potatoes, both-ea and west, and they are of the, finest quality. Beets, car- rots, cabbage, onions, corn, beans, etc., can also be raised, in abundance. All kinds of grain grow and mature in these mountains to perfection, and if we had a grist mill in this section we could manufacture all our own flour. Men who have had experience in wheat raising clam. that as good wheat is grown here as in Dakota or Minnesota
 We have everything to make this a prosperous and wealthy county, and we predict that ten years from now Coconino county, will have as large representation in the State Legislature as any county in Arizona ic-t
 In few days we will know who are to be the officers who will represent us in our settlement with Yavapai county and be they who they may, we hope and expect them to make an honest and just settlement for Ghe best interest of the taxpayers, Yavapai county as Is well known has been run by gang of political trieksters, and been run deeply in debt with no bene- fit to tha .psoplo. Let us not follow the footsteps four mother county in this respect, but let every man. who is a resident of Coconino county make it his duty. to be- a,t:$wateh dog of the treasury" and see to it that no unnec- essary expense is incurred in the man. agement of our county affairs. r

FThe talk

Says the Tucson Citizen: ''The talk of abolishing the office of Superin- tendent of Public Instruction Is wrong
 The office could not be administered ivy the Superintendent. of the Normal >cAool or the Secretary of the Territo- " With any satisfaction, without. those pIlties securing some competent per son iu their stead during the time which they would be required to visit the various portions of the territory
 Thus the actual expense would hardly be diminished and such arrangement could not possibly give the, same amount of satisfaction as would one ~hich compels the entire, time of an individual. The fact that the most good possible has not resulted from the rfiiee of late is no argument in favor of its aboiishment. Every Territory. ..nI otatv iu the Union maintains this position and for Arizona to do away N. itn 1t would. be to confessedly take a .5ep back ward.

 A celebrated stockman from abroad discussing this country with one of our citizens claimed that 1t is the best stock country on the continent. That the losses from severe weather is prac
 tically nothing. His statements are undoubtedly correct. Yves see accounts of heavy losses of stock in New Mex leo and other localities this winter. New Mexico is less favored than this region from the fact that they are un
 able to drop down into lower attitudes during, the. severe winter, weather, Here the sheep men can move out into snowless regions within twenty-four to forty-eight hours. No better. grass region exists than the San Francisco qnd Mogollon mountain country.

Logan and Sam Ward.

General Logan used to tell an in
teresting anecdote about Sam Ward.
said an old timer the other evening to
New Haven Register man. Ward,
you know, always II ade it a habit i'll
giving one of his entertainments to
have specially. This specially was
always something decidedly unique.
1t was either wonderful haunch Of
venison, remarkable roat of beef, an
exquisitely carved piece of frozen cream,
or some rare old wine. Ward was a
splendid story teller, and his manner,
as everybody who knew him knows,
was simply charming.
well, one evening General Logan was
present at one of Wards suppers. After
the wine was produced Ward went to
the sideboard and produced a queer look
ing flask containing pint of liquid. He
placed the glass before him and called
the attention of the company to its pc
cular shape and color. He then recited
a most romantic tale. The flask and
whisky were over 200 years old. They
were the property of French king, who
presented the flask filled with the royal
whisky to personal friend, who had
carefully treasured it and handed it
down from generation to generation UNI
til Mr.. Ward in some strangely FORUM
ate way had secured possession of it.
Ward was at least 10 minutes telling his
story, and when he concluded every body
was much impressed. The flask was
passed around and diminutive glasses
were set before the guests, each of
whom took a small nip. AS they drank
it down lips were smacked apprecia-
lively, heads were nodded significantly,
and every one declared it the finest by
far he had ever drank.
"Now, General Logan was just little
skeptical as to Wards story. 1t was al
together too romantic to go down with
the practical general, and he made it a
point the very next day to make some
inquiries. The answers to the first in
dicated that he was on the right track,
and he was referred to a neighboring
drug store where Ward frequently
bought some liquor. He dropped into
the drug store and engaged in converse
ton with the clerk, whom he knew, and
finally asked: by the way, did Sam
Ward get any whisky here yesterdayT
"'Oh, yes,' replied the druggist. Ward
got pint of the best whisky we have.
He brought around a queer looking
flask, which he had us fill up"

Families in Heligoland.

The omen in Heligoland ar, 90 er-
ally speaking, small and gracefully
formed and present remarkable con-
trast to their tall and strapping mates
The female loveliness is unfortunately
somewhat transient. no doubt owing in
large measure to the inferior fare and
rough work with the nets. No idea of
female suffrage is ever likely to enter
a Heligolander's head. His idea of the
relation of the sexes is the old one that
the man is the head of the wife and that
women, take them as you like, are an
inferior order; they are kind and courte-
Gus to their women in all respects, but
there is no doubt who is lord and bread
winner. The palriarchal system has
scarcely died out
Each lusty, broad s!lcu dered son,
though he may have passed his 21st
birthday, is required to give all or
nearly all his earnings to his father SO
long as lie lives in his fathers house.
When he marries and takes up house for
himself then only does the patria pro.
testas come to an end. Heligolanders
as Il rule marry young; there are more
women than men, and it IS not difficult
to find mate. housekeeping 5 not an
expensive job, and there is plenty of
money to be earned if a man is intclli-
gent and industrious. 1t may he some
tine before the young husband has n
boat of his own. for boat costs Sl25
obey are all built on the island), but he
can always hire one, paying for its hire
about 35 per cent of the payment he
himself charges.
