THE CLEVER TENOR COMING.

]. w. Smith, the popular and cele-
brated tenor, is filling an engagement
with the Gonzalez Opera Company,
which comes to the Grand Opera House
for two solid weeks, commencing Mon
day night. The Company is playing at
Cincinnati this week and in speaking
of the performance of "Mascotte" the
Inquirer says in part: "Mr. ]. w. Smith
played the role of Frederick in an easy,
graceful manner. He sang every note
with a full, rich tone, which won for
him several encores after each solo. He
will have an opportunity during the
week to display his fine voice TO much
better advantage. His singing yester-
day showed plainly what he is capable
of doing, and the impression made on
the majority of his auditors was that
he is a little too good for popular
and the engagement here should be a
profitable one. Seats at the box Of

During the week there have been no
changes in the standing of the different
clubs in the Musee tournament, and in
fact there have been very few cham
pionship contests. Interest is tagging,
on account of the warm weather, and
the outdoor attractions. 1t is likely
that when the season is finished, there
will be many unplayed games, which
will be contested only in cases where
the standing of club may be affected.

in better way. In this irrigated
section all the water that comes
from the river is utilized. During
the rainy season each stream and
wash is swollen many times its
natural size. All the animal and
mineral matter on the hillsides and
in the valleys are carried into the
river bed-to be swept down
through the irrigating canals aud
spread over the land. At this
season the water contains so much
sediment as to make it unfit for
any other use. Every stream car.
ries a load of animal matter in
solution or IN a mineral form which
is left upon the farms as the water
slowly finds its way over the cul
tivated ground. Thus nature fur
nlshes natural fertilization to the
irrigated farm. No matter how
much rain falls the soil is never
enriched thereby. In country
dependent upon rain, the success
sion of crops gradually saps thu
life from the ground and unles
carefully fertilized the farm cease
to be productive. The irrigated
farm is independent of these con
ditlons. The farmer need but il
rigate his land and the necessity
for fertilizers is forever disposed
of. In the valleys of Arizona ar
found the exact conditions under
which the highes ancient civiliza
ton of both the old world and th,
new, developed its greatness.
Numerous claims are set up by
our farmers that the sediment o
our streams is detrimental to tn
soil, but this is not correct theory
as careful investigation will de
monstrate.
With the advantages Of the nine
teenth century progression in agri
cultural implements and methods
why then should not Arizona out
rival the rest Of the world il
those material features which unit
to make the perfection of clvitiza
tion?

To all whom it may concern

Whereas under an act of the Legislative AS
cembly of the Territory of Arizona, entitled
Elections" approved March 8th, 1887 it is pro.
| vided that there shall be held throughout the
| Territory, upon the Tuesday after the first Mon
day in November A. d. 1888, and every two
years thereafter, an election for members of the
| Legislative Assembly, and such other officers
as may be required by law shall be chosen at
such elections.
And whereas it is further provided in said
Act that at least thirty days before each general
election the Governor must issue an Election
Proclamation, under the great seal of the Ter
ritory, and transmit copies thereof to the Clerks
of the Boards of Supervisors of the counties in
which such elections are to be held Such pro-
clamatiol. to contain statement of the time of
the election and the offices to be filed and the
offer of a reward'in the form prescribed by said
Act.
Now therefore, l, Benjamin ]. Franklin, Gov

joined upon me do hereby order general cleo
ton to be held on the Tuesday after the first
Monday in November A. D. 1896, and the Offices

A dispatch dated Washington
d. G. Oct. 28tb, says:
Cover nor B. j. Franklin of Ari-
zona, who left Phoenix last week,
reached Washington yesterday and
to-day spent several hours at the
interior department in consulta.
ton with Secretary Francis. The
Governor was the Secretary's guest
at luncheon. Governor Franklin
completed his annual report short
time before leaving for the capital.
He brought it with him IN order
to make any explanation of its
contents which the secretary Of the
interior might desire.
Mr.. Francis is now engaged upon
the construction of his own report,
which will include those of the
territorial governors. 1t will be a
voluminous affair, and naturally
he is anxious to make it as COM
prehensIve as possible.
Governor Franklin's report is
certain to attract attention anew
to the resources of Arizona. Sec
retary Francis said to a friend
this evening that he was very much
impressed with the statements set
iGorth in it. Like many other
citizens of these United States the
secretary had but an imperfect
idea of the advantages to be found
in the great southwestern territory,
The Governors report is pro,
fusely Illustrated, which will
make it more valuable than il
otherwise would have been. Pic,
lures go a long way in government
circles. The governor starts out
with the assertion that the people
Of Arizona are in favor Of state,
hood. Several pages are devoted
to this subject, but the governor
of course, does not endorse the
Republican view that statehood
would surely follow Republican
success in the Nation and the ter
ritory.
He shows that the total mining
output Of the territory for the last
year was S13,97S, 1868. OF this
amount gold aggregated $4,000
exclusive of about 100000 taker
Q by prospectors and placer miners
The total increase for the year il
100000.
, The total product of gold, silver
and copper IN Arizona for tht
twenty years ended June 80 las
aggregated 1927, ,166,016. The cat
tie shipments from the territory
from January l, 1894, to June 80
1896, reached 595,378 head. The
f territorial board of returns show
that the value Of taxable property
= has gained a half million dollars
during the year and conservative
men claim the actual valuation tc
, be s9O,O0O,00O.
These are the chef points touch
ed upon in the report, which is ez
haustive. The governor will re
turn to Arizona in a few days.

aggregate s4.400, and that $1,000
worth of school furniture has been
purchased.

violating any of the provisions of Title Part

ACCORDING to the assessment
rolls Of the several counties, Ora
ham county ranks first in number
of cattle, having returned to the
assessor S5,091, Cochise comes
third with 51,686; Pima county
fourth with 51,41S; Gila fifth with
50,905, Pinal county is credited
with only 24,154. These figures
are believed to represent only
about a third of the actual num-
bers. Taking the returns as they
stand, these five counties, COM
prising about one fourth the area
of Arizona, contain about two
thirds of the cattle in the territory.
1t is estimated that the total num-
Der Of cattle in the boundries OF
Arizona is not less than one and a
quarter million head; having
value of ten and quarter million

THERE is some discussion going
on through various papers regard
ing the advisability of introducing
agriculture into the curriculum of
the country public schools. If
competent teachers can be
secured it would seem that
the idea is very practical one.
The study of agriculture in the
country schools could be made
exceedingly interesting and many
an object lesson given that wodld
prove Of great benefit. The dis
cussion, while confined principally
to the eastern and middle states,
could be extended to the arid west
with benefit, as it is a recognized
fact that the different conditions

THE IMPROVEMENT CLUB.

Now that the election is over all
persons should center their
energies in the upbuilding Of the
town in which they live. The i'm
provement clubs should be re-
vived. The club of Stafford will
be called together Immediately.
More substantial improvements
were made on our streets last
winter, though the influence o.
Of this club than was ever done be.
fore in three times that length OF
time, and the same is true of the
improvement clubs of Pima and
Thatcher.
One year of life in a clean at
tractive iowa is worth more than
five years in a dirty, neglected
town, with its streets overrun W th
brush and weeds.
When the clubs reconvene this
winter, their influence should be
brought to bear on property
owners TO improve their individu-
al property as well as the streets.
To build good fences and other
wise make their property a.
tractive.
Aside from the Improvement o.
the town these clubs, rightly con-
Quoted, are productive of a vast
