. GROWING SENTIMENT
That Arizona Should Be Represented
 al Omaha.

Interest in an Arizona, or at 1east in a Salt River valley exhibit at the Omaha exposition, to counteract the evil of the propclssd Indian and cactus exhibit, continues to grow. Superin- tendent NIcCowan of the Indian Sch3ol desires to correct a misunderstanding regarding this projected display It has not been ordered by the Indian bu- reau, but has been requested by the exposition managers with the consent of the commissioner. MT. McCCwan strongly urges the preparation of an Arizona exhibit of the minerals and agricultural products of the territory. He repeats his offer to take charge of such a display without any expense to the territory and to disseminate all the literature he may be provided with. ''I would dc this,'' said he, mot because I ann stationed in the terri tory, but because I am an Arizonian. I came here ten years ago, in advance of a large majority of the people who reside here now. I am interested in the territory and I am sure that an exhibit of its resources will be of su- preme advantage just now. There is not much time to lose iE getting up an exhibit, for I eXpec: to leave for Omaha about July 1.''
 Governcr (Murphy.> who returned yesterday morning from the wes:, was seen regarding the project of taking the Indians and cactus to Omaha. He said he did not think it was wise to perpetuate the already prevalent east ern idea of Arizona. The Indian eX- hibit as an incident only of a general Arizona exhibit, he thought. might not be bad feature It would show the advancement made by the Indians un- der the fostering care of the govern ment and would also convince the peo- pie of the east that the Indians of to- day ter not blcodthirsty savages TOT any longer a menace to settlers.
 But" said he this opportunity of making known our resources to the world should not be neglected. I urged without avail upon the Twentieth leg islature the importance Of making pro- vision for a display Of territorial pro- ducts, not only at Omaha, but also at the Paris exposition. Since the legis- 1ature neglected to make such provis- ion it rests with the chambers Of commerce and ctEer commercial. bod eis of the various towns of Arizona to do it''
 There should be an exhibit by all means" said Secretary Akers. Con corning the Indian and cactus display, I think the Indians cannot do the ter ritory any harm, but the cactus cer- tainly cannot dc it any good. Let the Indians go, but let US have another ex- hfbit to piece aloEgs ide them. Let us send ore from dhn greatest copper mine in the world. Let us send along oranges of a kind ID ore luscious than any others in the world and which get ripe six weeks ahead of those of

THE GOVERNORS RETURN
He Believes Phoenix and San Diego
 Will Be Connected by Rail.

Governor Murphy returned yester> l day morning from q visit oa two weeks at Los Angeles and San Francisco. Ha was present at the San Pedro harbOr ceremonies which he thinks was the celebIation of the beginning of a new commercial era in southern Cali forn;a. The state, the governor says, has not recovered from the i'll effects of three years of drouth, though ill tho northern part there has been plenty uf rain this season and the crops and ranges are looking well. h, the south ern part though, the drouth has not been wholly broken The peGpIe though are hopeful again and the stata is rapidly resuming it's old-ti1ne ap pearance Cf prosperity.
 There is general impression" said the governor, that Governor Gage following the precedent by Gov e-nor Stone of Pennsylvania. will ap- point D. M. Burns United States sea- ator. I met Governor Gage, but the matter Of the senatorship was not brought up. There is a great deal Of objection to BIrns throughout the state, but on the other hand, he is strongly supported, reckoning among his supporters many of the best men of Calif0rr,a"
 A thing that was again fo1cibly i'm pressed upon Governor Murphy On this visit, is the need of direct railroad communication between PhoeriX and San Diego. "I beiieve" said he, ''it will be established. With the DuiId- ing of the Nicaragua canal and the establishment of the new Pacific steamship lire now in operation. I think the commerce Of the countrv will make San Diego the terminus ol another transcOntinental railroad. It would greatly shorten the distance be tween New York and Hong Kong and other oriental points. But if Phoenix and San Diego are not connected by the extension of some trarsc0n ti- mental line I believe a local line may be built between them"
 The governor received a telegram yesterday morning from his brother, President F. NJ Murphy CT the s. F., P. G P saying that he would aIrive lp Prescott yesterday afternoon. He accordingly went north last night to meet him.

 The transfer of the archives will re- lieve the staff of the French embassy from an exceptionally heavy amount of work covering the last ten months. M Thiebaut, the first secretary has gone to Paris for a rest, practically broke down by the day and night work over long and complicated cipher cables throughout the peace negotia- tions. The other oncials. NM Taigny and Boeufve, have had their full share Of this extra work, which hGs been far more arduous and trying, partic,l- lariy during critical junctu- es, than the regular business of the embassy. The officials have heen honored Wit,3 decorations from the Spanish govern ment, and it is expacted that they will share With the ambassador in any honor which this government de- teTnines to bestow in recognition of the enbazsy's part in the peace ne gotiations.

THE CATTLE BUSINESS
Unusually Quiet in Pima County fer
 This Season of the Year.

The buyers and the raisers could not get together this season and the re- suit is very few saI-s and little money circulating. Spring business is re- ported as unusually quiet and c0ucc- tionS are exceedingly SEW. IL looks as though the cattiemen had made a mistake in holding fcr last years prices. It is now too I3ta and those who neither contracted to sell nOr are able to ship north and feed must take chances on the market for next seascn, take chances on natural and accidental losses, Icse the use Of their money, pay interest, pay taxes, run on credit and liv6 generally, a worrying, hand-to- mouth existence. It was a serious problem to solve and the ,Qositi1q taken has affected not only those di- rsctIy engaged in the business, but the entire community.
 "A twenty dollar piece walking the range is n,ct like that double-eagle discounting bills, stopping interest and purchasing goods for spot cash. When the ordinary cattleman of limited holdings asks for credit it msans usually six months or a years time. The merchant must figure on this and charge accordingly. If an annual sale of stock is not made then both must suffer. Unless a downright conspiT- acy is c0ncccted by the cattle buyers to beat the raisers then is it a grave mistake to fail to sell every year. There is no more use for holding live stock until hair forms on the teeth than there is tc hang on to perishable crops until they rot. There is no ar- gEment and no excuse in pursuing a different course. Speculation, gam bling on the future, alone prompts the refusal to s5ll below an arbitrary, self made price. If you cannot win on market prices, you had better quit the game. Your decisiCn ito take chances" is unjust to the merchants with whcrn you deal. The credit you get is a big accommodation even though you pay big price for it. The chances are you would rct be able 10 secure credit on any terms did you ex- press your determinatiCn-when ask ing for tito hold your stock for a high markct or bust. It is short sighted policy for ycIrse,f as wei, in the directions hinted. You must pay interest, taxes and discounts for rather high prices because If long eredist-all on the same capital.
 Of course we r-fer net here to the big dealers who can either hold for speculative purposes or can ship to northern pastures to fatten for a cash market at any date, as several are new doing from thls county. We speak to those scores Of smaller stock raisers who are the mainstay, after all, of the county's business. Here they must trade and deal here fStrIeeIa and sweat, here take their medicine sweet or bitter Their decision, we repeat, mean45 much tC the entire com. munity as well as to themselves. Therefore it is vital that they use good sound Judgment. Individual action. individual opinion avails 1itt'e, if any thing. There is need or organization for intelligent gatering of data, for

any other section in the United States. We should also sand a wide variety of agricultural products and complete in- formation about the greatest body Of irrigated land on the western ccnti- nent. If we get up a display of this kind we can much more than offset the Indian and cactus shC1W.'
 J. Ernest Walker: I always have said that if the people here spent one fourth as much money in sending out literature and advertising this place as they G0 for carnivalS the returns would be greater. You can hardly find any printed matter in town which per tains to eur own place. I get com munications fIiGm the east constantly from people who want to learn some thing about this country and I must confess that it is difficult for me to get anything for them to read. This exposition affords an excellent OpEcr- tunity for us to advertise our valley and it should not be missed.
 Dr. H. V Clymer: If the manage mens Of the Indian part Of the expOsi- ticn is managed rightly I cannot see how ary harm would come. In the first pIaca if representative Indians are taken, it will show the people how the government is transforming the savage into 2 civilized Indian. The contrast between the Indian taken off the reservation and one from the In dian school would be ts-mething east arners could marvel over. But there should be a civilized exhibit in con nection with the Indian and cactus display The Indians would d. a great daa; toward attracting visitors to tha Arizona department and they would not leave the Arizona 4jecti0D without first examining our products.
 Aaron Goldberg: There is no doubt a gcod civilized display at the Omaha exposition would 60 much to advertise this sectisn and bring people here nemt winter I think it would be well for this county to be represented by a distinct exhibit and if the other counties care to contribute, Arizona wi-uls be able to present a credita1le display.
 Ban L. Bear: It was the aggressive policy and eternal vigilance of the pao- De of Los Angeles which built up the country. A little of the same spirit manifested here is what we need. Yes, that's a good scheme, the exposition at Omaha. and. hope there is as much done in the way of getting uD good exhibit Of our resoU-F.ets as will Ea in mastering a force of wild Indians and snakes.
 George H. N Luhrs: If they're gO ing to put Indians, snakes and Cac,i on exhibition at the exposition I think it advisable that there should be gCGd exhibit Of our products as wall. We u-anF tO sh-rv Tha De0nIe what we have here. Everybody knows we have h. dians and cacd. They can read that anywhere It's time they should learn 5amething about the tame feature of this section.

 MT. Rhodes in his speech discour- aged gambling in South African shares, saving that the revenues would balance the expenditures with in two years He regretted that the government had not guaranteed the pe-to-Cairo railway, but the trans continental telegraph, thanks to the German people and the German en- peror, would be completed in three years. MT. Rhodes announced the is sue of a further e3,0O0,000 of capital to extend the railway 750 miles, to the northern limit Of Rhodesia.
 He said of the German emperor: whatever ne may have thought oE certain little incidents which have re- suited u1satisfactorily to me, he is thoroughly 'broad-minded man"
 MT. Rhodes warned the Little Englanders" that the outlook for the next election was that the radicals and tories would be one in regard to England's expansion and the benefit of expansion to the mother country.
