Arizona republican., 1898-01-24


 Glendale, Ariz., Jan. 22.-tSpecial correspondence of The Republican.)- Enshrined among her broad vineyards o Nthe alfalfa belt, greets the "only real daily in Arizona" with a burst of buoolic min nstrelsy from her peaceful flockc and herds -bountiful natures never ending pastoral sym phony. If we can't have a newspaper of our own, we can at least hitch our wagon to the star of Phoenician pro gress and receive part of the benefit and some reflected glory. We presume that a newspapers circulation, like confidence, is a plant of slow growth, but if merit and enterprise are ap- preciated on these terrestial shores, The Republicans circulation will in crease by leaps and bounds. In point of newsiness, practical value and all- around vitality-qualities thsa make paper of greatest value to the com munity-it h6lds position of serene, unquestioned eminence

From al lreports the grain acreage this year will be smaller than last.

 Rev. M. Haisted, recent arrival, is now conducting church services at | Peoria. He is a pleasant gentleman and is said to be an able preacher. Several of our poultrymen expect | to exhibit at the pet stock and poul- l try show at Phoenix on the 25th 1 instant
 Now that peace has spr ad her white wings over the warning camps in the water dispute, the country will have 1 chance to grow. Everybody seems satisfied with the outcome despi the the mystery that surrounds it. In l such case as this, when no vital 1 principle was involved, a comprom' 'se was decidedly the best solution Ex- tended litigation would have been 1 fatal tothe country and capital alike 1 A dog fight is lots of fun-but net i for the dogs.
 Glendale is the gairer by the loss of one bright particular star Of cheekdom and some other locality is the loser. Monday night Harry For syth, young man who has been stop !. ping in the neighborhood for some time, left for parts unknown with a saddle belonging to F. N. Mills and a number of unpaid bills.
