MARTINS FERRY,

The present garbage system, which
was inaugurated by the Health Board
about six weeks ago, has up to the
present time proved failure in many
respects and from appearances will
prove so completely, unless improved
upon greatly before many weeks. The
ward system so far is a stranger to the
collector of the garbage. The only
thing worked Systematically is the COL
lecting of the money from the residents
for the collecting of the garbarge In
stances are shown where people have
paid for it six weeks ago and it is yet
to be collected. Some places it has
been collected once. One wagon can
not do the work and do it properly by
collecting twice a week unless the COL
Letting is worked in a systematic way
and the man who has the contracts for
it devotes his entire time and interest
to the work. The collecting of money
from families for the work is another
thing that does not appear exactly
right. There are very few if any towns
that conduct such work on the same
plan. There should be fund created
for the purpose of paying the collector
for the work. 1t it so other places and
could be here.
The collecting of the garbage is a
good idea and is an aid to the cleanli-
ness and healthfulness of the town, but
unless some improvement is made
upon what is nothing more than a
farce now the business will prove a
complete failure in short time

FREIGHT WRECK ON w. & L. E.

Yesterday morning about o'clock a
freight wreck occurred at Patton
Run, three miles north of this place
on the Wheeling and Lake Erie road
in which two box cars were badly
damaged. The train was coming
south at lively rate of speed, when
the car next to the engine left the track
because of a broken fiange, bringing the
train to sudden stop. The first car
was thrown on its side nearly cross
ways of the track, and the second one
had one end slowed in. No one with
the exception of one brakeman. who
jumped from the third car, was injur-
ed, and he had his back badly sprain
ed. A force of men were put at work
Immediately clearing the track and re-
laying the part torn up. The accident
happened at a very unfortunate time,
as the three train loads of excursionists
from Massilon had to be transferred.
There was something like 1000 people
on them and it took some time TO get
them to their journeys end.

STATEHOOD.

Every citizen of Arizona should be
on the watah for opportunities of ad-
vocatirg statehood for the territory
Keep the subject before the legislators
and before the people. Arizona has
shown her patriotism by quick and gal
liant response to every call of the gov-
eminent. Her flag was the first to be
unfurled ON Cuban sell. She has her
heroes and has given her martyrs.
Her future is bright with promise The
country is just beginning to realize
that she has vast agricultural posi-
bilities and that as a producer Of met
ais and minerals she stands in the first
rank.
These facts should be kept before
the people. The work OF our citizens
during the next few months may de-
eide the question as to our admission
as a state You can write to congress
men or other influential friends in the
east presenting and urging the claims
of the Treasure Territory.
The board of trade might issue a
pamphlet in adVscacy of statehood.
But the board of trade has it's cwn
plans and cannot do everything it is
asked tic do-else it might as we'll lave
a dozen presidents instead OF enc.

PH9NIx. SEPTEMBER "a. 1899.

Every one is hoping just Now that
Carnival Commissioner Clark Will be
able to secure satisfactory rates from
the railroads in furtherance of the
proposed autumn carnival. The i'm
portance of this enterprise at the
opening Of the busy season here can
hardly overestimated. 1t will bring
desirable transient population to PhCe-
nix, the most of which will remain all
winter. The effect on business will be
most statutory. The advertising of u
substantial and permanent character
which the Salt River valley would thus
obtain would soon add thousands of
dollars to the taxable wealth of Mari
eopa county. A permanent carnival
association should be formed here I'M
der the guidance of the board Of trade.
The Phoenix autumn carnival could be
made as famous and as much antici-
pated as the flower festivals of Cali
fornia or the Mardi Gras of New Or

THE FAULT FINDER

"A few days ago a Phoenix neWSpa-
per, half anticipated the contents Of
the pamphlet to be issued by the board
of trade. Curiosity was expressed
regarding the inducements that would
be held out to intending settlers. 1t
was stated that the commercial field
was crowded, the professional ladder
! was filled from the bottom to the top
and that many farmers were getting
poorer every year. Four men out CT
every five without thinking will ac-
cept this statement as true, but on de-
liberation they must conclude that 1t
Is no trusr than 1T was five years ago
when none of these fields We're
so well occupied as they are now
Many new lawyers have. come in since
then and built up good practices, while
many of the old ones are still hanging
on by their eyebrows. Several new COM
meroial enterprises have succeeded
while soma tof those of long standing
have collapsed or are still vegetating.
Farmers are getting rich on lands on
which their predecessors were slowly
starving to death five years ago. Some
are even making money on land which
was an uncultivated desert then.
This is not matter Of conditions
but Of men, fer some men are apt, if
not born to succeed, while others will
fai amid tie most favorable sur
roundings. The object of the board of
trade is, as l understand it, to invite
successful men here to either crowd
out the unsuccessful or to carve sue
cess out Of still uncccupied fields The
success of amy man is helpful to thei
whole community and every failure is
n h
competents is always full. 1t was well
filled in Phoenix a quarter of a cen
fury ago. But it is folly tol suppose
that all of the opportunities in this
community have been exhausted As
a matter Of fact, comparatively few CT
them have been seized upon l have
no doubt that within ten years pro-
fesSional men now unknown here will
be making fortunes in Phoenix; that
farmers who are now plodding in the
New England states and the middle
west will be getting rich in the Salt
River valley, and that now unheard of
successful commercial enterprises will
be established. In the meantime those
ranchmen, doctors, lawyers and mer-
chants now here will prosper if they
deserve to prosper and the whole com
munity will be better off than ever.

THE MASS MEETING.

Tomorrow night a mass meeting will
be held at the court house to discuss
ways and means fer admitting the out
lying additions into the city limits.
This question has already been handled
extensively by the Phoenix press and
The Republican car. add little to its
previous arguments in favor of expan-
sion. It is generally believed that a
majority of the residents of the addi-
tions desire to cCme in, not only to
swell the population of the city, but to
enjoy the many advantages Of cor
porate citizenship as we'll The only
opposition is from the larger property
owners CT the additions who fear that
their taxes will be increased by an
nexa1ion. Such action is un-patriotic
and in time will entail greater cost
than increased taxes, upon the obsti-
nate ones. A city of the size and i'm
portance CT Phoenix, which is unable
TO get more than a third of
her population under the city
government is mot going TO
long make a favorable showing to out
siders. The next census will expose
the skeleton in our closet. No prep
erty owner, large or small, can af-
ford it. The meeting Monday night
is for the purpose of talking this mat
ter over. We urge a full attendance
and hope that an agreement will be
reached that will be satisfactory to all.
