Chris Evans Caught.

FIsALn, Feb. 19.-Bandit Chris. Evans and his friend Morrell are now in Jail at this place. Word got out that the two men were in the house of Mrs Brighton. Officers surrounded the house, with half the town at | distance. The statement that Morrell was capt. ured is disputed. It is claimed that the man with Evans is named Enlow. When Evans found the house was sur rounded, he sent his youngest boy out with note to the officers, saying that if the crowd would go away he would surrender The officers then drove the crowd away and Evans came out unarmed and ssood on the porch while tho officers went forward and shook hands with him. There were no shots exchanged and no fight. Itis said tlat Evans, who had been hiding in the mountains, came nome to see his fam fly, as he appears to have strongiilial feeling. He said he fared feapfully hard in the mountains, being for two days at time without food or fire. Morrell, he says, is entirely broken down.

A NUMBER of ndemocratic papers assure their readers that Penn sylvania will elect the democratic can didate for congressman at large, in the coming special election, and they will probably keep claiming that state as democratic until after the election which will bury the free trade party under au avalanche of protective votes cast by the workmen that the present democratic administration has placed in a starving condition.

A Hint to Office seekers.

To THE SUN:
 The editor of the Democrat seems to think that Il mans political belief should not be a bar to asking vote from man whose industry he seeks to destroy. All right, Bro. Jones, if you can make soft talk win the votes of the Wilson bill in this county we have no objections, but we are going to have free silver, protection on cattle, wool and hides, or revolution in politics No set of dcmagogucs can hold the vote of Arizona together on any other pro- gram.
 This fight is.on, and the local poli- ticiun who goes around asking for q vote or an endorsement for an office, without having been as much as friend ly 70 the individuals business, is either ignorant, has no conscience, or is in- linitcly dishonest, or Is q combination of all these clements. A preacher of free trade is no friend financially to any body in Coconino county.

CAN women vote for members of congress under the constitution? Rep rcscntative Pence, of Colorado, says they can, and he has introduced I bill providing that the right of citizens of the United States of either sex, above the age of 2l years, to register and to vote for such representatives shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex. Mr. Pence contends that women have always had constitutional right to vote for congressman and that they have been unfairly denied the privilege, and the delegates to the twcnty-ninth annual convention of the National Womau's Suffrage association, now in session in Washington. endorse the contention and propose to lend their aid towards getting the bill acted upon by congress at this session. The house judiciary committee only the other day turned down bill introduced by Rep resenative Bell, of Colorado, providing for a woman suffrage amendment to the constitution, but that committee will not get a whack at Mr. Fences bill, which will go to the committee on the election of president and yice-prcsi- dent and representatives in congress

A SOMEWHAT striking presentation ot


 A SOMEWHAT striking presentation of the claims of Arizona to statehood, says Bradstreet's, mainly on the grounds of magnitude and productivity was made before the senate committee on territories this week by Mr. w. F. Jones, one of the district attorneys of the territory, He said in the course of his argument that the area of Ari- zona was so great that a line drawn due north from Chesapeake bay across Pennsylvania and New York to Lake Ontario, including all the American territory lying east of that line. would not equal the area of the territory, which, he said, was larger than Penn sylvauia, New York and Maryland combined; larger than the three states of Illinois, Indiana and West Virginia; larger than Ohio, Michigan and Mary

 REPRESENTATIVE GLANDS bill for the coinage of the seignioragc in the treas ury has had majoriy in its favor from the first, but the minority, composed of democrats and republicans under the leadership of eX-Speaker Reed have sturdily fought it all the week, Mir. Reed at ouc time causing Mir. Bland to lose his temper to such an extent that inc authority of the Sergeant-at-arms had to be invoked to restore order. It has been to certain extent revival of the silver fight of the extra session. It is not the present bill that the anti silver men really oppose. It is their fear that it's passage will soon be fol- lowed by a bill for the free coinage of silver, that makes them fight. Mir. Bland has such bill now in the hands of the coinage committee, of which he is chairman.

THE indications are that large
area of this valley will be planted
to fruit trees this year. There are
many of the deciduous fruits that
make phenomenal success here,
and people are becoming convinced
that there is large profit in fruit
raising. The apricot is favorite
fruit and all varieties of that lus-
cious fruit do extremely well. The
Royal and Moorpark are the stan
dard for canning, drying and ship
ping. The only trouble found with
the Royal is that il overbears The
Moorpark is a steady and liberal
bearer here, and is reckoned the
very choicest variety. A large
acreage will be planted to the
almond, the cultivation of which
has now passed the experimental
stage. With rich soil, generous
and genial climate, and compet-
ing railroad, the future Of the fruit
raising industry is most promising.

CONSIDERING that the destruction
of a large percentage of the mag
nifcent forests of California has
contributed In large measure to
rendering the climate Of that state
much more irregular and severe
than it was in the old days, it seems
little strange that Congressman
Bowers should inveigh against the
reservation by the Government of
large areas of the forests of the
country. 1t is well known by every
man who knows anything about
the meteorological conditions of a
country and the causes which con-
troll these conditions that forests
exert a powerful influence upon
climate. If the immense forests
of this territory are allowed to be
destroyed Arizona's rain gauges
may be banished and her ther-
mometers extended at both ehds.

One noticeable feature of the
oranges raised in the Salt River
valley, is, that they are much
sweeter than those produced in
Southern California, and have finer
citrus flavor. A gentleman having
had large experience in Southern
California remarked to us recently
that the oranges of the Salt River
valley were sweeter and much bet
ter favored even when just begin
ming to color, than is the Oalifor-
MIA orange, until it gets fully ripe.
1t is being fully demonstrated that
there are localities i'll this great
valley which will produce an orange
of the finest grade.

The report Of the Governor of

IHE report of the Governor of
Arizona to tue Secretary of the In
terror is before US ami is replete
with information regarding the re-
sources and capabilities of The sun
kissed land. To those who have
sbeen accustomed to think of All
zona as a land of deserts and saw
ages, it will prove little less than
revelation, In his iuLro Iuctory he
ays: "rhe increase in population,
the advancement on moral, educa-
tional and social lines, the general
health OF the people, and the ab-
sence of distress, SO prevalent in
other sections of the country, have
been such as to inspire a spirit of
generous gratitude. The popula-
ton OF the territory is given as
10000. (esclusive of Indians not
ia ,cd), an increase of 5000 during
the last year. The taxable proper
tv as reported by the Territorial
Board OF Equalization, is $o7, ,O6l,-
9H.96." He dwelis at length upon
tho reclamation Of the arid lands
I'D recommends an amendment to
the Gary arid land bill that it's pro
visions may apply to the territories;
that the Salt River and Gila Bend
Indian reservations be set part for
allotment at once to Indian gradu :
ates OF industrial schools. An in
c~eased appropriation for the ter
ritorial militia is recommended
with view to strengthening the
same on account of the withdrawal
of the q. s. troops. Referring to
the return of the Chiricahua Indi-
ans to Arizona, he strongly pro-
tests and urges a reconsideration Of
that proposition. In regard to
public education in the territory
he says; "The liberal provisions of
our school law has laid the foun-
|
dation for thorough and progress
sive school system and the high
salaries paid our teachers have at
tracted experienced instructors
from almost every state in the un-
ion. The assessed valuation of
school property is given as $4O5,-
446, ,32 and the expense of main
tanning the schools last year $l76,-
O4O.O2. Take it all in all Gov.
Hughes has issued the most com
plete and comprehensive report
ever compiled by an executive of
the territory and one which will do
much good on account of the rccu-
rate and reliable information
contained therein.
