place him and all his family, present and prospective, on the rolls. Yayapai was large county then, embracing all of the territory north of the Gila, in this valley, and including Clifton which was then booming. Many hun dreds of Mexicans from the Rio Gran de, who were teaming into Clifton in '76 helped to swell the number of peo- pie who were supposed to constitute the population of the county which was struggling to recover the capital prize. The result was that Yavapai county held the balance of power in the next Legislature and in 1877, after sundry injunction proceedings, the capital was returned to Prescott, where it remained until 1889 when it was removed to Phoenix.
 R. c. Mccormick, Slippery Dick" as he was commonly called, was one of the brightest men who figured in Ar izona politics during the early days. After serving as Secretary and Cover nor he was elected three times to Con- gress, defeating Hon. F. R. Brady, then sheriff of Pima county; once, EK- Atty. General, John A. Rush, of Pres- colt and elected once without Oppos- ition. His first wife died at Prescots and while he was a member of Con- gress he married the daughter of Senator Allen c. Thurman of Ohie. He was first Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for a short time during the Hayes administration since which time he has not been known in pol itics.
 The first bill for the admission of Arizona as a state was, l believe in- troduced in Congress by Hon. Gran vile II. Oury in 1882 since which time almost every delegate has made futile efforts to accomplish that end. From the present signs of the times it seems that some few of the earliest settlers who have long and earnestly hoped that they would live to see Arizona a state may yet be rewarded for their patient waiting. But few of those who assisted in planting the civil gov ernment in Arizona are living on this anniversary of the territory's birth. Thirty long and eyentful years have thrown their shadows on the past since the flag or the Republic was raised at Navajo Springs. Most of those who were in Arizona then have passed over the range crossed the divide and are out of sight, but the work was well done and the memories of their achiev- ments will be as enduring as the ever lasting hills, for,
 The good they have done shall never fade Though the work be wrought and the wages
 paid.
 And the weary forms of the lahorers laid
 All peacefully under the daisies.

At the Kansas City stock yards there were recently sold sixty grade three year-old Hereford 'teers for beef, which at s5.6O per hundred brought SlO4.40 a head; and thirty two-year-olds that brought sS5.l3 per head. These facts are commended breeders who are rais- ing steers which command one and one-half to two cents per pound, and at three years old weigh about l,OO0 pounds. The grade Herefords will reach l,6OO to l,sO0 on less food than the scrub will consume to bring it to 1000.

ed Surveyor General. In August fol- lowing Gov. Gurlcy died and John \. Goodwin was appointed Governor and W. r. Turner of Iowa made Chief Jus tice. Governor Goodwin has been suc- ceeded as Governor by A. P. K. Stafford, John P. Hoyt, John c. Fremont, F. A. Tritle, c. Meyer Zulick, Louis Wolhey, John N. Irwin, N. o. Murphy, and L. c. Hughes.
 The officers who organized the terri tory left Leayenworth on the 18th of September and were escorted by three companies of soldiers to Fort Union, New Mexico, and from that point to Santa F'e company of Missouri cav airy was the escort. At Albuquerque thirty men of the First New Mexican Volunteers were added to the escort, and at Fort Wingate a detachment of California infantry under Sergeant Mccormick joined them, all under the command of Lieut.. Col. J. Francis co Chavez, who conducted the party safely to Fort Whipple, where they arrived on the l6th of January, having been nearly four months in making journey which can now be accomplish ed in three days. Col. Chavez is now a prominent lawyer of New Mexico, has served two terms as delegate to Congress, and has been president of the senate of the Territory several times.
 The capital of the territory remain ed at Prescott several years and was then located at Tucson by legislation brought about as believed by Governor Mccormick who was anxious to be elected delegate and formed combi- nation with the Southern counties. After its removal from Prescott the location of the capital became an im- portant factor in almost every Legis- lature and was conducive of much sec tional feeling and it was said that questionable and corrupting influences were often used to carry it back to Prescott or return it to Tucson. In 1875 the Legislature passed an act re- auiring census of the territory to be taken before the next election and an apportionment of members of the Leg islature to be made by the governor on the basis of that census. The people of Prescott saw their opportunity and well did they improve it. The census takers were appointed by the Boards of Supervisors and the Yayapai Board appointed John H. Behan, eX-sherl1, and at that time one of the most ac- tive and assidious workers in Arizona, to take the census in that county. The return was simply immense and 1t seemed that there were more people in that county then than there have been since. The census bill was so drawn that the marshal was allowed much latitude and he could meet any prospector or wsyfaIing man who had been iu the territory all night and

Ed. w. Futile of Stafford was a mem- Der Of that Legislature, representing Yuma county. The Legislature was in session until some time in Noyem- Der and adopted code of laws pre- pared by Associate Justice w. T. How ell formerly of Michigan, and common ly known as the Howell code. The Legislature divided the immense ter rtory into four counties, called after friendly tribes of Indians, to wit Yuma, Pima, Mojave and Yavapai. Since those days Maricopa. Pinal, Apache, Gila, Graham. COchise and C0r0ninu have been added each of which possesses more territory and natural resources than some of the eastern states.
 On ihe 18th of July lsi3. an election was held for Delegate tn Congress, and Charles D pIStau. of keatueky. then Superintendent Of Indian Affairs, was elected and served one term and ha, been succeeded by John N. Good win, Coles Bashford, Richard McCor- mick, Hiram Stevens, John C. Camp bell, C. II. Oury, c. c. Bean and Mark A. Smith. Col. Posten is now living in Phoenix, an old and honored citizen loyal to Arizona to whose interests the best years of his long and event ful life has been devoted.
 The country known as Arizona, pre- vious to the Gadsden teaty. was part of the Mexican state of Sonora, and was acquired by our government in ls- B by purchase of the Republic of Mex leo. Long after the acquisition of the territory embraced in the Gadsden purchase, the American citizens-and they were very few in number sought to convince congress of the necessity of a territorial organization and in lS- 57 Senator Wm. M. Gwin, of California who was formerly U. s. Marshall of Mississippi, introduced in the Senate a bill "To Organize the Territory of Arizona and for other purposes" It was proposed in the bill to divide a section of country, as large as an east ern empire and embracing more than the Gadsden purchase. into four coun- ties to be called Jefferson, Washington, Jackson and Buchanan. Mir. Gwin's bill found no favor in the eyes of Con gresS and was decidedly defeated. In 1859 Senator Jefferson Davis of Miss issippi introduced a bill iii the Senate "To provide temporary government for the territory of Arizona, and to create the office of Surveyor General therein which met the same fate.
 Arizona in those days was a part of New Mexico and Santa Fe was the nearest court house to Yuma. In 1861 MT. Watts, Delegate in Congress from New Mexico offered bill in the House of Representatives gro provide tenn porary government for the territory of Arizona and on the Sth day of May 1862 it was passed by -he House and in 1863, with some amendments, passed the Senate and receiving the approval of President Lincoln became a law. In March the President appointed the following territorial officers:
 John A. Curly, of Ohio. Governor; Richard C. Mccormick of New York, Secretary John \. Goodwin of Maine Chief Justice: J. r. Allyre of Connec- ticut. Associate Justice; John Titus of Pennsylvania, US District Attorney; Milton E.
