THE STORY OF ARIZONA.
The Boston Journals Opinion Of the
 Territory and Its People.

A recent issue of the Boston Jour nal devotes four columns to the oalI River valley and that part of the ter rEbnry lying along the $. F. F. & F. Phoenix, it's surroundings, resources and future are clearly discussed, anu inc writer observes:
 Arizona has unjustly been made fhe target of jest and ridicule. This fact in itself has operated against the best interests of the territory. ms has been largely the outgrowth or lg- norance and thOughtlessness. But It's effect has been, none the less, lnJurl- ous If the people who so readily eonsign defeated political candidates sp the Salt River valley only under stood that this particular section or Arizona is one of the brightest ana most productive districts in all this western country, and that, in many ways. it is a little paradise as com uared with many of New England $ most charming spots.
 Of the transition from the desert 10 paradise. the Journal correspondent continues: However, as l came out of southwestern Texas and over stretch of desert country, bordered. in the far distance, by barren mountains. was we'll prepared to find the Salt River valley and the towns along 1t all that a distorted imagination-dis sorted by ridicule and misrepresa anta- 5ion-had pictured it. What was my srfrorise, then, when after pulling out of Maricopa, a little station on the Southern Pacific road a few mil9s south of Phoenix, and at the entrance tu this valley, to find myself coming 1apidly into a land of sunshine and green fields, ahounding richly in fruit and cereals, with the hillsides covered with herds of sleek cattle, and thrifty raach buildings dotting the valley aere and there It was like coming from darkness into light and 1t gave g, n1s a revelation that was unique and pleasing.
 The city of PhoeDix--the beautiful capital city of the territory-the south ezn terminus of the line, is the center Of a population that is progressive and energetic This city, although closely located to the rich minera' districts, can no longer be called dis tinctfvefy a mining point Of coursa very much in the way of mining sup plies is still shipped from Phoenix to the copper and gold fields, and very much also in the way of ores still continues to come there. But the bus fness interests of Phoenix are new largely of a different character. It has really come to be a city that possesses more of the eastern atmos- phere than perhaps any other place in this graaa territory of Arizona. Its streets are broad and clean; it's busi- ness men enterprising and alive to inc modern methods of doing busi- ness; it's people, very generally, are possessed of culture and refinement"

The Future of Corn.

A Fort Worth dispatch in the Dallas
News says: Efforts are being made in
Europe. as well as in America, to
create for corn, that cheap and whole
some food, a demand that shall make it
worth the farmers time and attention
to raise. The Drovers' Telegram of
Kansas City says that "befOre many
zled to know what to do with q small
crop will, it is hoped, find a lucrative
market for all he can raise. An inter-
national exposition is now pro-
posed devoted exclusively to corn

from, enabling people Of foreign coun-

more extended use will result in. cheap

ing qualities, but if economists and
dealers succeed in' raising its value In
the eyes of the people, not only will
farmers profit thereby, but the poor
will shortly find variety of whole

reach.' At the recent convention of
the Adventists held in Fort Worth and
which sclosed last Saturday, pro-
minent elder stated that In the COM
missary of the encsmpment there were
over twenty different varieties of food
all manufactured from corn. The
Adventists are not, as q rule, meat
eaters or fish eaters and they confine
themselves mainly to farinaceous foods
and some kinds that they prepare from
corn are of the most appetizing charac-
ter. That there is future for corn
and that it will be put to many more
uses as q food product than at present
there is no doubt. The corn growing
states of the future will be the money

AT FORT WORTH.
Fight Over Temporary Chairman
shin.

FORT WORTH, August 16.-[Special
correspondence OF the HERALD. The
gathering here for the convention
shows two things very plainly. One is
that the personnel of republican state
conventions is gaining each session in
quality and another is that Mckinley
prosperity is felt all over the great
state of Texas. The first class hotels
are running over full, although no re-
very few of those here are seeking
cheap quarters at the expense of COM
fort or convenience.
The interest now centers upon the
temporary chsirmanship. Mcdonald
has. given up the race which will likely
make clear sailing for Henry Ferguson
who is being pushed by Congressman
Hawley for the place. Some of the
delegates feel that now is a good time
to declare for white men only to be
put forward for such places and are
pushing Hon. Charles Ogden for the
place. In fact Mcdonald seeing that
he is beaten is pushing Ogden, hoping
to be made chairman of the credentials
committee. Mcdonald has been as a
milestone around Chairman Green g
neck and while the big railroad man
had almost the unanimous support OF
the delegates as they arrived the be-
lief that he was bolstering Mcdonald
caused manyImutinous remarks.
The feeling between Hawley's and
Green's friends is not ss cordial as
the party interests demand but no
doubt with the determinations of the
convention all chickering's will cease.
Ferguson support of Hawley is essen
tisl to his success in the coming race
and the latter has tried in every way
to forward the formers ambitions. He
believes that the delegates from the
other part of the state should assist in
his race to that extent and it looks at
present as if they will do it.

About the Gila Valley. Globe
 and Northern Right of Way
THE INCIASS CHE CONSGNT
The Road to be Built Across
 San Carlos Reservation
The ApaChes Were Put in Good Humor by Big Feast ana Dance the Night Before. Conditions Of The sgreeme

San Carlos, Ariz., Feb. S.-(Special.) ) One of the most important, as well as the largest, Indian conferences ever held in Arizona came off here today. The matter brought before the Apache Indians was the proposition whether they would give their consent for the Gila Valley, Globe & Northern rail- road to pass through their reservation from Geronimo, the present northe n terminus of the line, to the town of Globe, the center of the noted copper mining district of Gila county.
 The laws passed by congress grant ing the right of way to the railroad company carried a provision requir- ing the company to secure the consent of the Indians before entering the res ervatlon to begin the construction work. Since the passage of the act there has been much opposition to the road manifested by influential chiefs, and fabulous prices for the right of
 way have been suggested. However since the appointment of Lieutenant
 Rice of the Seventh cavalry as agent of the reservation, he, in accordance with suggestions from the Indian bu- reau, has used his influence with the chiefs and Indians to be reasonable in their demands, and today after fully explaining the law and reading the instructions from Washington it was
 found that the Indians were practi- l cably unanimous in favor of giving their consent for the building of the road through their domain to Globe the matter of consent in favor of the railroad company on the amount to b:
 paid to the Indians being discussed by the agent
 The principal chiefs and the repre-. sentatives of the railroad late tonight
 agreed upon the amount which the railroad will have to pay. It will be
 between s7,0OO and $1O,OOO to the In. dians as a tribe, with additional pay ! ment for any damage done to culti
 vated lands, ditches, fences and roads Last night 1,500 Indians were feaste:
 by the railroad people, and a grand Apache Indian dance was kept9up al night. President William Garland
 and Vice-President B. A. Cutter o1 the Gila Valley, Globe & Northern
 railroad were present, also William
 Hood, chief engineer of the Southe-r Pacific company, who had accompa
 nied President Garland to Globe to ex ! anime the terminal service of the de pot grounds.

TRAINED DOGS FOR ALASKA.
Arrival of Carload at Vancouver From
 Newfoundland.

Washington, Feb. S.-United States Consul Dudley, at Vancouver, B. C., reports to the state department that a carload of 100 trained dogs arrived there few days ago from Newfound- land for shipment to Skaguay, Alaska, where they are to be sold for use in hauling miners outfits to the gold fields in the valley of the Yukon. He says the dogs have been trained to the work of hauling sledges in New foundland, they are accustomed to a very cold climate, and it is believed they will render exceptionally good service in the Yukon region. They appear to be tractable, and pull to- gether in manner that must be very satisfactory to their owners. From persons who have returned from the north it is learned that dogs com mand very high price at Skaguay and Dyea. The Newfoundlands are much heavier than the native dogs of Alaska and the British Northwest territory. The consul says if they are able to en- dure the climate and the conditions of service there, they will prove ex- tremely useful to the persons who are moving forward in such evidently in- creasing numbers to the valley ot the Yukon.

COUSINS WANT TO MARRY.
They are Forced to Go to Nebraska to
 Get the License.

Kansas City, Feb. S.-Charles s. Burger and Nellie F. Burger, first cou- sins, ran away from their home at Breckenridge, Mo-, and came to this city yesterday morning for the pur- pose of getting married. They went to Kansas City, Kansas, where they made application before Probate Judge Herr Upon learning that they were first cousins, the license was re- fused and the disappointed lovers left the court house. It is thought that they boarded an evening train for Ne braska, where they expected to get married.
 Young Burger is "A years of age. His cousin is three years his junior and very pretty young woman. They were well dressed and when the would-be groom asked for a license he showed a large roll of bank notes and told the judge expenses cut no figure. He did not hesitate to say they were first cousins and was great ly surprised when a license was re-
 
 away from home because they could not get married there and had gone to Kansas under the impression that blood relationship was no bar to mar riage there. Burger, after being re- fused the license, was inclined to be- come confidential and intimated that if the judge could pave the way so that they might enter wedlock he would be handsomely compensated for his trouble.
 Judge Herr told them that it would be impossible for them to get married in Kansas. Burger then asked if there was any state in the Union where they could get married. He was told that the laws of Nebraska did not prohibit first cousins from marrying. The young man turned to the prospective bride and asked her if they should go there. 'I reckon we had better" was the reply.

ST. LOUIS MAN BUNCOED.
Herman Schroeder Taken In on the
 Old Time Three Card Monte.

Kansas City, Feb. S.-Herman Schroeder, who was on his way to the Klondyke gold fields, reported to the police yesterday that he was buncoed out of $500 on an incoming Burlington train in the early morning. The time honored three card monte game did the work and the two sharks who got the money left the train at Randolph, on the other side of the river.
 Schroeder claimed to have recently inherited $2,1O0 from his fathers es- tate. With this money and a friend he decided to go to the Klondyke. They left St. Louis Monday night. When Schroeder arose yesterday morning on the train he went into the smoking car. There he saw one man winning money from another by the use of three cards. The St. Louis man grew interested and offered to pick the winning card for $500. He lost and refused to bet again. When Ran dolph was reached, the St. Louisan went back to tell his friend of his bad luck and the bunco men escaped.
