Arizona's All Right.

Every day we run across something complimentary to Arizona. The fol- lowing is from d Los Angeles exchange which is well posted on things territo- rial; Arizona is having one of the most prosperous seasons in lhc history of the territory. The rains have been abundant and much of the county is as green as Southern California in Febru- ary. The stochmcn are naming their own prices. Good stock is scarce and buyers from California and east of the Rockies are numerous. Considerable mining is being done. Arizona is one of the best customers our merchants have. and the prosperity of the sun kissed territory il, d home affair for Us"

A Call for Mr. Wilson.

It would seem that Mr. Wilson's troubles have but commenced. The republican press and the electors of Yavapai have him on the grid-iron and propose frying him to frazzle. The Phoenix Herald says he should rise and explain his action on the YGvapai county bonds in which he approved these bonds, claiming them valid, if he propose, lo make the validity of those bonds a republican responsibility, as he seems inclined. He has evidently for gotten that he is one of the original men who declared those bonds valid.

SOME MISTAKE ABOUT THIS.
Rumor in Santa Fe That Flagstaff Is to Lose
 Its Observatory.

ts SbserVa'ory
 The Santa Fe New Mexican says that Prof Andrew F.. Douglas, acting su servatory at Flagstaff, arrived from Arizona on his way to the Omaha eX- position. Washington and Boston. He drove around town on tour of inspec- ton. and thereby hangs Il tale. That paper goes on to state that the profes- SOP visited Fort Marcy and the situa tion suited him. for the reason that a movement was on foot to remove the observatory from Flagstaff to Santa Fe, the purposes for which the observatory was established. In the first place his is nOr government observatory at all, as we understand it.. It is not even un der governm enu supervision. Prof. A. F.. Douglas i- not acting United States superintendent of the observatory at Flagstaff. but has had charge of the observatory here since its establish ment, and to his business tact and en- ergy much of ils success is due, espe- cially the past year during the ill., ness of Mir. Lowell, who has now fully recovered. The observatory is the personal property of Mr. Percival Lowell. who established it in 1893. and selectedFlagstafff for its location because of its being the most available point for scientific research. IL is not likely that Mir. Lowell will consent to the re- mOval of the observatory from place where the air is purer, the stars shine brighter and the surrounding country more attractive to the scientist than any other portion of Uncle Sam's vast domain 10 d deserted military camp in the sand-swcpt region of Santa Fe, where there is nothing to observe but a dried up stream, Old Badly and a decaying democratic legislature.

ABOUT VALENTINES.

What tender recollectioDs cling to the
st Valentine days o. childhood, when
those dainty missives, secretly dispatch
ed to the girl or boy schoolmate, wrought
such happiness for the recipients and
aroused curiosity to heights of wavering
uncertainty. How one mentally conned
the list of friends of the opposite sex in
the effort to discover the sender of the
valentine; how easy it was to think that
the sender was the sweetheart Of those
early, care-free days; how delicious the
thought that it was from that sweetheart !;
how torturing the uncertainty of it all.
Valentines mean as much to the children
Of to-day as they did to those who are
children no longer. Let them enjoy the
day dedicated to st Valentine. Let them
buy their valentines at the Postoffice
News Store, in che Arcade at Bridgeport,
where the assortment quite surpasses any
in the city, and where all the newest fan
cies Of the makers Of valentines can be
seen. That no child may be overlooked,
parents should see to the sending of some
dainty little love message to their child
rem. Such little money will bring such
q world OF happiness to the children,
when expended for valentines at the
Postoffice News Store.

We have not seen the question of the
crazy rush for the Klonkike country
more ably and sensibly treated than by
country newspaper man in Massa-
chusetts, the editor of the Am
herst Record. He sensiblY remarks:
There are many reasons to believe that
the coming spring will witness a tide of
immigration toward the Klondike coun.
try that will far surpass the living stream
that flowed toward California in 40. The
craze apparently has not abated one iots
since thousands started last fall upon the
journey, literally taking their lives in
their hands that they might be early in

my masters, and nothing so quickens

aver is Ia every human brain as tales of
golden fortune impedded in the rocks
and sands Of some country far away.
But, Oh, the folly of it! Here are hun
dreds and thousands of young men, men
of middle age, men whose hair is heavily
frosted by the hands of time, leaving
wives and children, leaving useful occu-

livelihood, selling all that they have,
