" t that would have importance anywhere and under any conditions. It is the gate city of the southwest. Through her portals pass all the trade of north west Mexico, imports and export. The flags of foreign consuls are flying there. It is the headquarters of the collector of customs for the district of Arizona, and to the outside world by far the most important city in Arizona. The development of this section is not con fined to Nogales alone, but the whole community is coming to the front, and even now in these hard times they are building wagon roads from adjacent towns into Nogales both on the Amer ican and Mexican side. The business men of this section are energetic, liberal aud far-seeing, but all their in- dustry, all their trade, all their real estate, aud in fact all values and busi- ness is kept back and hampered by being so far away from the county seat. The burden of taxation put upon our people in mileage, of sheriff's fees, etc. to say nothing of the private expense of all litigation by reason of parties and witnesses having to go so far to the county seat, is more than any people or trade can bear. It is blight to all our industries and to our growth and prosperity.
 All business is hampered and em- barrassed. Upon nearly all trades and business transactions the burden is inn posed-that the parties go lS5 miles to the county seat to close their bargains.
 There is no way to enforce or collect any small claim without losing money; for d man to bring suit he must go l35 miles to get to tue county seat, take his witnesses and sometimes wait days and weeks before his case is called. How can city or community do business when it is subject to such burdens as these? These opposed to this bill may say that the same items of expense are incurred by all men that got county within the new county is more than sufficient to support the new county desired, and if economy be exercised, to reduce the rate oi taxation.
 It has been published and repub- lished in THE OASIS, Border Vidette and other papers showing the re- sources and liabilities of Pima county and the conditions that will exist in both counties in the event of the division of Pima county, so that it is unnecessary to take up time in going over this again.
 It has been stated that Nogales is strongly in favor of division, and why shouldn't she be?
 Nogales pays over sl0,OO0 in taxes. A conservative estimate made by an experienced business man, puts 1t that Nogales business men pay out over sl0,000 more by having to go to Tue son on business before the courts aud in the county offices.
 Add to this an equal amount for loss of time-a conservative estimate-and division will save Nogales alone sum equal to two. thirds of the revenue the proposed new codnty now pays into the county of Pima. And the rest of the new county would save in time aud distance the other one-thrd. And as to the county seat The seat Of govern ment, whether of nation, state or county, if located with reference to the convenience of the inhabitants Of the region governed should be located as nearly as possible at the center of

advanced suggesting a change of any kind in the condition of public affairs. affecting either state or nation or any political subdivision, which met unani- nous approval by all persons it affected. Objections to any proposition should be considered at their real value. Are they actuated by individual self inter- est? Are they such as should influence fair, reasoning men to abandon ad- vocacy of the proposition? Objections to county division by parties living outside the proposed new county must be from selfish, individual interest, and as such can have very little weight or influence with this body. Those who signed petitions in favor of county division represent over S5 per cent of the taxable property and over 90 per cent of the bona fide citizens aud taxpayers of the proposed new county.
 It is said that few of the heavy tax payers protest against division. Here comes question: Is the comfort and convenience of a citizen who pays small tax to be of less considera tiOn than those of person who pays a larger tax? After division the heaviest taxpayer will not pay cent more of taxes than he now pays. Is it because he has more wealth that his wishes should be considered before those of his less wealthy neighbor? l believe in giving the wishes of the poor man as much consideration as those of the rich man, and whether the petitions be few or many, and whatever may De the con- dition or circumstances of the peti- tioner, the facts and arguments pre- sented by them are of equal weight and are consequently entitled to equal influence. One protest was made because the county seat may not, after the division, be placed to suit few individuals, and as to the Orc Blanco and Arivaca district, l wrote to parties asking how many in those districts were in favor of county division, and the answer l received was a petition signed by fifty citizens from there praying for divisions They also sent statement saving that eighty-6ye per cent of all the citizens they met signed the petition. Since that time 1 have received other petitions from the same place
 The fact that portion of the land embraced in the boundaries of the proposed new county is in dispute as land grants, does not enter falrly into the question of the propriety of the division, because to whOmsoever it may belong, however the title to the land in dispute may be ultimately determined, the land itself is subject to taxation.
 I am now paying, and have for years, paid taxes on land claimed by the Camou party, and the title to which is now matter of litigation in the United States land court.
 This bill has been presented in other houses in this territory. There is a principle lying underneath it that can not be killed. It will keep on coming up until it is passed, because it is founded on justice, reason and right.
 The people of my whole section, of both and all parties, rise up as one man and ask this legislative assembly to emancipate them, aud l believe that this honora ble body will pass this bill.

her throat. Mrs. Weaver then ran away
and went 10 the courthouse, leaving her
two children-one a boy 3 years old and

Sheriff Gill was justified i'm killing Wea-
yer. and only saved his life by so doing.

tisement in a paper which met the eye

Mr.. w. c. Gin has been Sheriff Of Ches-
ter6eld for many years. He was one Of
