That Petition.

The VOICE this week publishes the
petition for the denomination Of J.
W. Mclaughlin. signed by teachers
of Sumner county. The teachers
seem to think they were badly treat
ed, but they were not delegates to
the convention, a great many Of them
not voters. We think Il petition from
school boards and parents of children
who attend the schools would have
been more prOper-and nearly all the
delegates present were Of this cla:s
and voted instead Of petitiOning.
We realize the personal attachment
the teachers must have for Mr.. Nc
Laughlin, for he has been one Of the
best supekntendents the county ever
employed. Logic will never take the
place Of independent action, hence
We do not attempt to show the logic
discerning contradiction. The voters
voted, and whatever our preference
we must accept the wisdom Of the
majority. Mr.. Mclaughlin did not
expect nor desire denomination, and
he accepts gracefully the will Of the
convention, and will work earnestly
for the election OF Mrs. Clayton. The
political buncOmbe Of the republican
papers has nothing to do with the
case. The POpuliSt party is composed
Of men, and proposes to elect some OF
its men to OffiCe-but we are not in
business solely for that purpose. We
contend for a great principle which
must be enacted more in general state
and national legislation than in COun-
ty affairs. We have more good men
than enough to I'll all the offices of
the land-men who are not working
for mere personal recognition, but
for the great principle of cO-Opera-
tiOn and economy that will benefit
the most ignorant, poor and weak as
well as the learned, wealthy and
strong. II Mr.. Mclaughlin had been
nominated he would have been elected
as it is-Mrs. Clayton will be
elected. Mr.. Mclaughlin being
brOad-minded man of right cOnvic.
tiOns, is not so selfish as to consider
the woe or veal OF the cause depend
ent upon any particular man. He
can work in the ranks, and will.

FLAGSTAFF.

The town is beautifully situated about seven miles southeast of the San
 Francisco peaks on the Colorado Pla teau. It is on the main line of the Atlantic & Pacific railroad, Santa Fe Route) 344 miles west of Albuquerque and S34 miles from San Francisco. The business of tho railroad at tbis point is larger than at any other sta tion on tho road between Los Angeles and Albuquerque. It is also the ini- tial point of the Central Arizona rail road, which is intended so run to Ben son via Globe, and which will pass through fine timber and agricultural section, as yet undeveloped
 The magnificent pine forests of the county form one of the leading re. sources of Flagstaff. A conservative estimate by competent authorities places the stumpage at not less than 5000, 100000 feet. Since the first saw-mill was established here in 1882, the average annual cut has teen about l3,000, 900 feet. Yet 50 munifcently has nature endowed the country sur rounding Flagstaff with this staple that the amount cut only serves to impress the observing with It's insig- nificance as compared with the appar- ontly inexhaustible supply yet standing in primeral dignity and pride.
 The Arizona Lumber and Timber Company have here one of the finest plants in the country, and produce five times as much lumber as all other mills of the Territory combined. They dispense through their employees about S300,000 annually. which sum in it's entireity is direct revenue to Flag staff.

1891, part of the original mother county of Yavapai. Approaching the needs of the country around Flagstaff the legislature of that year passed ar amicable act of separation, dividing the area into two almost equally sized counties. Coconino's portion of about l5,000 square miles includes the major portion of the Grand Canyon of the Col orado of Arizona, extending north tc the line of Utah.
 About two million acres of this ex panse is covered with a dense growth of fine pine timber; naturally, therefore, numbering is one of the principal in. dustries. Cattle are reared by the thousand, and sheep in numbers almost beyond computation graze on the yer dant slopes. Farming of late has be- come an important factor in the devel- opment of the county's resources. There are many beautiful mountain valleys where farms of fifty to hundred acres have already been established, and the extension of the county's cultivated area is being pushed by intelligent farmers from the Eastern States.
 Within the county of Coconino, of which Flagstaff is the county seat, are about 2,750,000 acres of fertile farm ing land susceptible of cultivation without irrigation. Of this vast area not more than ten thousand acres are under cultivation. Almost in the cen ter of this garden land Flagstaff is located. It is to her markets that the patrons of husbandry must look for their supplies, and this is the gateway through which their products flow into 'the markets of the world"
 The soil for the most part is a rich loan, containing the clements of sus tenance on winch cereals and potatoes best thrive. In an average season the yield of potatoes Is from five to six tons per acre. Grain haryests are as abundant as in the rich fields of Kan sac and Illinois. The fruits of Oak Greek and those raised by the settlers in the rich region around Tuba City arc equal in size and flavor to the picked specimens which grace the hor- ticultural fairs of renowned fruit-grow- ing sections
 Of such land as is above described there is still quantity equal in area to the State of Massachusetts open to settlement under the homestead laws. It is safe to predict that within a few years there will not be within Cocenino county ten square miles of land having any agricultural value under the owner ship of the government. Resulting from this, community of the utmost dosirability will develop, of which Flagstaff will be the trade center and supply point.
