|, ARIZONA is today the least advertised section of the United States, regardless os the fact that we have one of the most naturally favored sections of our fair land. Where there is one favorable i'm pressts0 sent out there are several un- favorable ones to offset the effect. Where there is some personal motive behind the effort at publicity the effect can not be for the best. What we need Badly is a medium. from an entirely ,disinterested sourcei, representing ne particular section, as against others, but giving. publicity to Arizona's resources SEallsRinds, in an unbiased and unprei- udiced manner. Such a medium would be of great good to Arizona, and would be sought after by peo pie desiring to inform themselves.-South Western Stockman.

But it is 90 in every rtne of industry. There will always be more failures than successes, from the very nature of things, else woula we eventually rise above humanity.

Thus far there seems to be no family quarrel and the property for the. most part is willed to the immediate family of the deceased. However the experience of. other families of dead San Francisco milliOnaires has educated the public to expect that,in due course of time the usual number of contract wives, mattresses and alleged children will put in their claims for recognition.

WHEN 1T APPEARS THAT A PER-
SON HAS MADE a WILL WHICH
CANNOT BE FOUND AFTER HIS
DEATH. THE PRESUMPTION IS
THAT He DESTROYED IT WITH
THE INTENTION TO REVOKE IT.
COURTS OF EQUITY WILL NOT
SET UP LOST PAPERS, UNLESS
IT APPEARS CLEARLY THAT IT
SHOULD BE DONE.
DECLARATIONS OF A TIsSTAToR
AS TO HIS WILL, IT'S DESTRUC-
TON, &C. ARE OF GREAT
WEIGHT 1t ADMITTED AS EVI-
DENCE. OBJECTIONS TO THEIR
ADMISSION CANNOT BE FIRST
MADE IN THE APPELLATE
COURT.
This was suit in equity to set up the
Will of Samuel Shacklett, deceased.
which. 1t was alleged, he had made and
afterwards destroyed when he was
mentally incaDacitated to revoke it.
The court says:
Where it appears that q person has
made will which cannot be found
after his death, the presumption is that
II was destroyed by the tcstator amino
revocandi. This Is especially true
whcfc the will is traced to his posses
sion and never traced out OF it,
rms Presumption, however, is only
prlml facie, and may be rebuttnd; but
me burden is upon those who seek to
establish such an instrument to assign
ana prove some other causes for it's
disappearance. The cause assigned in
THIS case is that the testator destroyed
his VIII i'll the last year of his life and
nj Il time when he was mentally incap-
able of revoking it. Docs the evidence
show this?
lThc court then goes into Il consid-
Grafton of the evidence and concludes: !
IN the court below both sides relied
upon the declarations or the tcstator
Neither side objected to such evidence
1t is too late now to raise the question
OF their admissibility for the first time
in this court. The only question we
have to deal with is their weight and
value. The declarations of IL testator,
after he has made his will, as to its
continued existence, It's contents or it's
revocation where the will cannot be
found after his death, is recognized
under certain circumstances as entitled
10 great weight not only by judges who
think such evidence admissible, but
also by those who reject II. 1t is not
sufficient In q case like this to show
that the Will may have been in cxis-
tence after the testator's mind had be-
come so impaired that he could not re-
woke ii: but it must appear that it was
In existence after that time. Courts OF
equity do not set un lost papers except
where 1t is clearly shown that 1t should
be done
We are of opinion that the record
does not show that Samuel Shacklett
was mentally incompetent to revoke his
Will when he destroyed it. and that the
Circuit Court erred in SO holding. Re
