BETWEEN OURSELVES.

The last issue of Frank Leslis's
article upon Utah and Mormon life,
made doubly attractive by full page
of excellent illustrations. 1t was con-
tributed by Mr.. Herbert Haywood, a
gentlemen of rare journalistic talent,
who is at present in this city. 1t is not
unlikely that some of his Impressions of
Arizona life, illustrated by views, will
will shortly appear in that widely cir
culated weekly. His engaging person-
atty as we'll as the Importance of his
visit have already secured for Mr.. Hey
wood and his accomplished wife, by
whom he is accompanied. marked at
ton from persons of prominence.

We would like to have the Judges and
attorneys, who have been in attendance
upon the supreme court, with us al
ways. They have made things lively in
many places since the opening of the
session couple of weeks ago. Some of
the gentlemen have been accompanied
by their wives and nearly all have been
the object of considerable social atten
ton. They have been wined and feted
and have responded by entertaing their
hosts with many bit of anecdote and
sparkle of wit. The foremost members
of the Arizona bar are jovial and social,
as we'll as remarkable for the high or
der of their professional attainments.
They will favorably compare with any
set of attorneys of the train-robbing, de-
generate east.
One of our ex-governors remarked a
few days ago: "What a splendid run
for congress Judge Wright would
makeW His infinite wit, excellent
fancy and ability as raconteur would
make him q tower of strength on the
stump. He carried Colorado and was
elected sttorney-general when the race
was supposed to be forlorn hope.
A gentleman from Los Angeles said:
From my point of view Arizona will
lead the country in three things-rais-
ing cattle, horses and hogs. You have
the country for alfalfa, the climate in
which to grow them rapidly and the
area required. 1t Will not be many
years before even California will come
to Arizona to buy much of her stock.
Twenty years ago around Los Angeles
hundreds of heads were grazing. The
same country is now cut into large and
small ranches and the soil devoted to
raising fruit. You will soon realize the
need Of improving the quality of your
stock and will then begin to understand
the possibilities of the business.

The two representatives of THE RE-
PUBLICAN who have been travelling for
the paper, one in northern and one
in southern Arizona, returned last
week. In spite of the general hard
times their trips were eminently sat
isfactory to the office and the lists of
Subscribers largely augmented. The
REPUBLICAN is very popn, in the east
ern part of the territory, especially in
the Upper ella valley, where the pros
porous agriculturists appreciate fresh
general news rather than sectional con-
troversy.
Globe was voted the model mining
camp of the territory. There was
scarcely an evidence of hard times
there. Paper money was abundant, it
alone having been disbursed upon the
last pay day. The mum Der of men en-
ployed, as well as the out put of the
copper company is much greater than
at this time last year.

The pre-railroad days are always the
palmiest. At least such seems to have
| been history in Arizona towns. So long
as 1t was difficult to reach a certain
community, prosperity dwelt among its
residents. In small way this illus
trates the principle of the advisab ility
OF restrictions upon foreign immigra-
ton.
Many of the people of Prescott, while
they appreciate the great benefit which
Phoenix and the Salt River valley will
derive from the completion of the north
and south road, consider their own bet
terment will be comparatively slight.
There are no cheap restaurants north of
Phoenix. Good prices are secured by
store keepers for all kinds of merchan-
disc. There seems to be fear that
with the increase OF supplies there will
be a corresponding general drop in
prices OF labor as well as OF goods.
