BETWEEN OURSELVES.

heavy grain product of the Salt River
Valley will not have as good a market
as last year. Last winter, to be sure,
many points in the territory, as well as
in Sonora, as far south as Guaymas,
were supplied with beef, barley and al
falfa. In most of these places wild hay
has been harvested, successful crops
raised and little else will be required.
1t will be well to wait while, however,
before borrowing trouble. The season
is young; the country is growing and
the Salt River Valley products will
neither go begging or be unprofitably
sold.
The Kelley Institute, which removed
yesterday, has beautiful new home in
the Redewill estate on Van Buren,
street. 1t covers about ~ acres of
land with plenty of fruit and shade
trees. The house is comfortably fur
nished. A piano and billiard tables
will be at the disposal of the patients.
A lease has been taken for but one year
but will probably be renewed for a
much longer term. Kelley patients
from all parts. of the country, who may
be suffering from physical troubles in
connection with the drink and tobacco
habits, may find a sanitarium in
Phoenix.

Visitors fresh from the large cities of
the east and manufacturing centers,
who may be asked to pay trifing per
cent. more for merchandise in Phoenix
than they could buy the same article
for at home, will partially understand
the situation when they are informed
that one dry goods house paid freight
upon single car last week of over 5000 !;
and furniture house of over $500. The
item Of freight should be classed with
death and taxes, only more 30.

People who come here to live tenn
porarily or permanently owe it to them
selves and the city not to send away for
their needs. Phoenix already has rep
utation which is envied by other cities
all over the territory for the public
spirit of her citizens and it is by the lat
ter that she has thriven. Let US help
one another and patronize each other,
and 1t will inevitably come round to re-
dound to our individual interests.

Jimmie Van Allen, of Van Allen Cha
teau, Newport, the man who thinks he
looks ike the Prince of Wales and whom
Cleveland has Just appointed minister
to Italy as a reward for the $4,000
which he furnished the Democratic
campaign fund, has scarcely cham
pion in this part of the country. A re-
mark made by the English minister at
Washington is pertinent to this case.
He said he could understand how his
government should send Englishmen to
represent it upon the continent, but
could not understand why the United
States should do so.

Editor Bagg of Tom bstone was in the
city yesterday on his way to attend the
quarterly meeting of the prison COM
mission at Yuma. In view of the fact
that the majority of the recommends
lions of the board at its last meeting re-
garding purchasing ONYX and other
material for the prisoners to work with
have been ignored and as there is still q
breach between it and Supt. Gates over
the question as to whether the latter
may or may not discharge his guards,
the proceedings should be interesting

Few people are aware that our court
stenographer, Mr.. Weed. is recognized
by the Official Stenographer, the ma
tional organ OF the craft, as being the
third fastest short hand writer in the
country. His record is 252 words g
minute, which seems incredible.
