Weekly Crop Bulletin.

The following IS the weekly bulletin of the Arizona section of the clm ste and crop service of the weather bureau for the week ending May 25, 1897:
 Both the maximum and minimum tempera- lures hay. steadily increased during the week so slowly as to be scarceIy perceptible, and the mean temperature continues slightly below the normal in all sections of the territory. Light frosts occurred in Coconino, Yavapai, Navajo 10 and Apache counties. but no inj jlry resulted. The continued cool nights, however, retard somewhat the growth of corn and cane in the agricultural districts of Navajo and Apache counties and of garden truck in other localities With the exception of very light showers, which were insufficient to be of material benefit. in northern Yavapai and southern Coconino coun- ties, no rain fell in the territory during the week.
 All reports indicate an ample supply of water in irrigating canals and ditches, but some com panies have resumed enforcement of the usual regulation to prevent wastage, by rotation of the water supply among the different canals
 In Salt river valley, few farmers have begun cutting wheat. The strawberry crop has about all been marketed. The few apricots of the early varieties that escaped the March freeze are ripe and coming to market Oranges have fal- len from the trees until notwithstanding the increased size and age ofthe trees and orchards the crop will not exceed that of last year.

 This attorney general is more of 8 pettifogger than even we had supposed and that is saying good deal-if it is true, as the Phoenix papers of the 23d inst announce, he has ''gone to Navajo and Apache counties for the purpose Of instituting proceedings against those counties te compel them to levy tax for the maintenance of the Normal school. University and Re- form School" AS the counties ment- toned have never refused to levy taxes for the maintenance of those institu- tions, and as the time for levying taxes for 1897 has not yet arrived, no action against the supervisors of those coun- ties can be maintained.
 HSlf-a-dozen counties, including GlIa, will in all probability, refuse to make the special levies, under the acts of 1897. to meet the expenses for costly improvement to the Normal School and University. These taxes, which it is sought to filch from the pockets of the people, are not for maintenance, and It is idle for the attorney general or any one else to assert that they are for cur rent or necessary expenses. The legis- lature has no power to impose them nor have the county supervisors right to make the levy, for if they do they are guilty of an illegal act.
 The attorney generals threats are mere buncombe and will frighten mo- boiy

Wilson IS trying to make capital out of a water contract made by J. A. Flem- ing with the territory of Arizona whereby Mir. Fleming agrees to deliver water to the reform school at Flagstaff for twenty cents a thousand gollons. If Wilson, and his coterie of strikers consult the records they will ascertain that a thousands gallons of water. de- livered to consumers in Flagstaff today, costs six dollars and five cents. Yet these saintIy individuals shriek fraud. because MT. McCord as & member of the board of control, entered into a contract whereby the territory was to get it's water for twenty cents per thou sand gallons or a saving of $5.S5 on every one thousand gallons of water used. The people of Flagstaff pay twenty-five cents for forty-two gallon barrel of water at present and it is to be regretted that MT. Fleming failed to construct his pipe line and thereby re- duce this awful water charge.

1t is Shameful.
Republican,


 They say ct the Governors office that Attorney General Wilson has gone to Washington on 'busIness of the terri tory" This business is explained to be the filing the Supreme Court of the United States of the transcript in the prison contract case in which the territory has taken an appeal from the Supreme Court of Arizona. It is un- necessary that the transcript should be presented in person. Wilson has gone to Washington at the expense of the territory and with Governor Franklin S consent Co work against the conffrma- ton of Col. MeCord. That is the long and the short of it.
 There IS an amusing side to this per formance. Wilson really believes that he possesses the power to destroy Me Cord. h imagination We see the peo-

 | Apache county threatens rebellion Through It's representive in the late territorial assembly Apache county de- cIared that the extayagance of the leg islature was driving her people to des- peration and might drive them out of the territory. This declaration was made by Representative Smith in the course of debate upon the normal school building appropriation, The speakers voice quave-ed when he con- templated Apache cOunty's resistance ously piled ny day by day by the un. thinking legislature, But that bill was passed and many other bills. all cal culated to force the Apache taxpayer to dig little deeper into his pocket than he had ever delved before. Gila county sent word that it would make no attempt to meet it's share of the tax provided for by the legislature beyond what it had been accustomed to pay. Gila county thought better oft after. ward and lately in reply to an ultima tum by Attorney general Wilson, the district attorney of that county wrote him that he need not apply the pres- sure, the supervisors wauld make the necessary levy.
 The counties of Mohave, Navajo and Apache were next xtreported to be stand Ing out. The Attorney general wrote them twisting them to come in. He has not heard from Mohave and Navajo but he received letter from the dis trict attorney af Apache saying that the board of supervisors. strongly en- trenched behind the Harrison act, bade defiance to territorial authority and re- fused to pay further tribute to the nor nal school, the territorial university or the reform school.

Electric Bitters.

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited for any season, but perhaps more general ly needed when the languid, exhausted feling prevails, when the liver is torpid and sluggish and the need of tonic and alterative is felt. 4 prompt use of this medicine has often averted long and perhaps fatal bilious fevers. No medicine will assist more surely in coun- teracting and freeing the system from the maIarial poison. Headache, lndi- gestion, Constipation, Dizziness yield to Electric Bitters, 50c. and $l .O0 per bottle at St Johns Drug Co.'S Drug Store.

she is very versatile. She won a great
