 "The Enterprisen is the name of a new democratic weekly established at Phoenix last week by MT. s. j..
 Darby.
 Delegate Smith has succeeded in passing through the house an appropri- ation of twenty thousand dollars for preliminary work on the Florence butte reservoir.
 The Jerome Reporter of last week gives forth this feeling roar: If the parties that stole the wood from this office do not return the same, their names will be published. We believe Tn protecting home industry, but are too busy getting out a great news paper to watch our wood pile with a shot gun.'
 c. M. Funston is again in the news paper business and at the head of the Coconino Sun which, under his magic touch, reappears in magazine shape and contains 32 pages, all clearly printed and replete with that inter- esting variety of reading, which only a newspaper man born and raised in a printing office, can get up. The Sun will be republican in politics.
 Graham Guardian: John Parks, Jr. returned from the coal fields on We'd nesday last and reports that the survey segregating the coal fields will be completed by tomorrow night. The surveyors have been greatly delayed in their work during the recent storms. When the first snow fell the party was encamped on the top of Mount Trumbull, where they were compelled to remain for six days on | account of deep snow.
 St. Johns Herald: The bonds of Arizona stand high in the investment world. A recently published report of the standing of the New York Life Insurance company gave list of the stocks and bonds it owned and their | real or market value. On the list was Arizona funding bonds, payable in | 1922 bearing per cent interest, and | their marked value was given as Sl02, | being at ? per cent premium. Bonds | of thePrussian government were listed | at 97 cents on the dollar. Russian | bonds at 97. Cuban bonds at IT and | Servian bonds at 63.
 Yuma Sun: The Yuma Valley Union Land and Water Company is progressing rapidly in the construc- tion of it's ditch, it having been finish ed to point five miles below town. It will be extended two or three miles further. Arrangements have been made for the purchase of pumping plant of large capacity, which it is expected will be on the ground in short while. The promoters of the enterprise are determined to push it to successful termination, and are making rapid strides in that direc- tion.
 Arizona Republican; There is an affair brewing in Phoenix which may assume an international importance since it affects the Mexican consulate or residency. For some time the con sul, Seiior Navarro, has occupied a house in the eastern part of the city belonging to a man named Martin House. For the past two or three months Mir House has been trying to remove the consulate without offering any valid excuse, and he has been re- fusing to accept the rental which the consul has monthly rendered him. Now he is threatening to begin eject

do not stay. The men OF the other classes
remain. In a generation or so they marry
Argentine girls and become Argentines,
and out of the whole Is being evolved the
Argentine type of the future.
The People of the Argentine.
These Argentine people are not like the
South Americans OF the west coast. They
have no strain of Indian blood running
through them They are OF almost pure
European extraction. They are not Span
fish nor French. not Italians, not Anglo
Saxon. They are evolving a combination
OF all of these. with the Latin strain pre-
dominating, just as In America we are
forming a type with the Anglo-Saxon
strain In great aScendency. ] think, how
ever that our type is far superior 10 any
that can be produced here
The change IN the Argentine goes on
very rapidly. At the beginning of this CEN
fury the old families were Spanish and
Portuguese. Since then they have been
tntermarrying with the English. Scotch.
Germans and Americans and Italians. You
can see this In the names OF the distin-
guished Argantines. Admiral Brown. one
OF their famous naval officers. was of En-
glish extraction. The Livingston family.

the towns have more or less electric Lights
many have good streets and there are ex

specialists in the treatment Of the ear quickly
