 Year Ago.


 To day, March l2, is the first natal day for the :. F., r. X r. railroad, as one year ago traffic begun aud the people of Pheni1 reioteed. They were not alone in their hllarity as all Arizona was here aud thousands from the outside world.
 Wonderful changes Lave been wrought during the past year. largely due to increased railway facilities, and not a man at this end Of the line regrets lts advent, unless 1t be the freighter who formerly carried the inland traffic.
 Our people have nothing but the kindest feeling for Frank Murphy and the hustling men who built the line and the same spirit IS enter tained toward the entire compile ment of the efficient officials and employees of the road, who are al- ways courteous, kind and accom- modating Especially has this been true of the jolly, good natured Geo. NJ. Sargent, general freight and pas senger agent, and Ira r. Smith, com mercial agent located at Phenix.
 May the little road always pros per, yet continue to deal as fairly when it is strong as it has during the first year of its existence. The line has paid from the beginning and so much development, both mining and1agrIcultursl. is under way along fha lima that if xrili a,nfinua s, ,l l, so at largely increased ratio dur ing the coming year.-PheniH Ga zette.
