WANTS STATEHOOD.

Arizona wants to be a state. She is knocking already at the door of the capitol, and the probability is that she will be quickly admitted and become the forty-ffth state. What has she to show? She has 77,000 people, ,an assessed valuation of over $27,000,000 ($350 to each), 579,000 acres under cultivation, 750,000 more in process of recla- nation by means of irrigation, 10,- 100000 more capable of cultivation, 40,000,000 acres of grazing lands, 8,O0O,OOO to 10,000,000 feet of stand ing lumber, yearly mining products worth $12,000,000 and 37,000 In dians who have lost all love for fighting. Whati is more she bas a governor, Hughes by name). who dares to say. in an official report, that the liquor business is a crime against humanity, and ought to be abolished by congress in that ter ritory, Arizona has. under his ad- ninistration, reduced the number of saloons thirty-seveu, and whole sale houses three and as an accom- paniment has for the second time in the last seventeen years reduced her indebtedness instead of adding to it.

ARIZONA, while receiving & fair share of advertising in the over crowded east, has not made that great effort which should be made to bring to the attention of thous- ands of people our matchleSs re sources which are so susceptible of development. Other states with much less to offer have made greater offort and secured more i'm migrations than we. There are many plans which could be carried out with greater or less success, but which is best for us, as a public tu follow, we will not attempt to say just now. The thought has occur red to us, however, that in our eff forts to attract attention of the peo- pie to America's Italy, petty jeal- ousies sometimes stand in the way, and the efforts made are only half hearted. If this is true, such feel ing must be removed before we can expect to be rewarded by that sue cess which should attend our eff forts.-S. w. Stockman.
 Unfortunately, for Arizona, and her prospects for immigration and settlement, there is a whole lot of truth in the above statement or SUD- position, as to the half hearted eff forts of the people to attract immi- grants. Right herein Apache coun- ty, there are people, good citizens at that, who would sooner throw cold water on any proposition, looking to the encouragement of immigration, than to aid or foster it, by the very slightest effort, not from any wilful motive, or desire to retard progress, but through q thonghtless economy, an economy that would save @ few dollars, at the expense of the entire commu- nity.

Are You Married?

Nature intended that all human beings should mate as soon as thoy reached the age of maturity, but un- fortunately society, custom and sur roundings have willed it otherwise. However, should nature have it's course, some communities are so small that it IS impossible te mato it's young people satisfactorily, and they are forced to pass down the river of life forgotten and alone. A happy thought was the formation of the Affinity Publishing Company, of Scranton, Pa. They are issuing 8 high class matrimonial journal which is widely endorsed. It's ob- ject is to bring kindred souls to- gether by means of correspondence, and no doubt the result will be a number of happy marriages. Sam pie copies of the journal can be ob- tained for ten cents by addressing AFFINITY, Scranton, Pa.

LET LIGHT EXTEND.
Rapid Growth of New Country
 Under Advertising.

In 1893 the territorial legislature of Oklahoma appropriated $1O0,O00 for advertising the resources of that section, and since that date $125,- 900 more has been expended in the same line. As 8 result the popula- ton of Oklahoma has been increased in the meantime from 80,000 to 227,- 1000 inhabitants. If it pays to ad- vertise the resources of country like Oklahoma. where they have nothing that is not in common with all their neighbors in the rain belt, how many more fold it should pay here in the land of perpetual sun shine, where the rarest fruits are the earliest in the country, where the country teens with herds of fat cattle and the mountains are filled to overhowing with the pre- cious metals.
 Arizona is the fairsst of the sub divisions in the west, and the people here should make mighty effort to let these facts go abroad, rather than keep the light of intelligence hidden. With little effort Arizona mighty be made to advance with an even more rapid tread than has her ambitious sister, Oklahoma, where the men of means go down deep in- to their pockets to say, "Come and share with us the beautiful gifts of nature. ."-Gazette.

TIE celebrated Durrant trial ID San Francisco is having rest for a week, on account of the sickness of Durrants' lawyer, Duprey. To the student of human nature, this man. Durrant. must be study. ln- nocent or guilty, he is an enigma, if guilty. he is one of the most ut terIy depraved human beings lever read or heard of, viewed in that light, he is not human, but a mon- strosity. Who? with such a crime charged against him, could go through what Durrant has, and es- cape unscathed Who, could un- dergo the surveillance of the past six months, that has attended bis every moment? Asleep or awake the sleuth hounds of the law, have been lowering about, ready to bounce upon hlm at the least sus- picious movement. His every look hls every mood; is noted hourly. by those tireless watch dogs, hem med in by the law. Confined in his cell, he defies them all, not the quiver of muscle; not the tremor Of an eye-lid, betokens the .least concern on his part-and now to cap the climax, the papers state, that, during his confinement, he has taken on flesh, in fact he has gain ed some twenty pounds in weight. What manner of man IS this, who thus defes. not only human laws but laws of nature? On the other side of the argument, let us sup pose him innocent of this awful crime, and this position IS even more difficult to sustain than tc suppose him guilty, for he might be of so depraved a nature that his guilt would have no effect on his conscience, and be might thus thrive and grow sleek with the guilt of Cain upon him. But to suppose him innocent, "there's the rub, living in a prison. consorting with criminMs, eating, drinking and sleeping with this horrible accusa. ton resting upon him, growing fat under such circumstances in the shadow of the gibbet. There's ar anomoly for you. How will you analyzc him? If guilty he is g mon
 ster, and innocent; well, what il he? Not human surely.
