 E. A. Tovrea is making himself plen- tiful around his old haunts in Phoenix this week. He left Saturday morning and will return today.

 There is a rUmor to the effect that the Southern Pacific will make an ad- dition to the passenger service Of the road by putting on two more trains. There are now two passenger trains a day each way between New Orleans and Houston and Los Angeles and San Francisco, leaving but one train each way between Los Anegeles and HOus- 
 Nos. r, IS. 19 and 20. The officials of the road did not confirm this rumOr, but there seems to be good ground for it, owing to the preparations which are going on in that direction. This will give Tucson four passenger trains a day and with that many on the road some of them will have to pass through this city in the daytime. IL is said that Collis P. HuntingtOn's trip over the road was to ascertain the adVisa- biIity of this eparture.-Tucson Citi- zen.
 For the benefit of those who seem to know as little about the laws Of the territory as they do about political ex- porting of official records and success 1 ful politics, the Star would call atten- tiOn to the law governing the cIassii- | cation of counties. Section 3 of the | law classifying counties reads: The capitalized assessed valuation fixed dur ing any year shall establish the cIassi- l ficatiOn of the county for the succeed ing year, beginning January 1, and the compensation or officers shall be fixed for such succeeding year. The law is plain, direct and positive, that the of the respective counties shall be established January l. for the succeeding year. This cannot be done at any other time or by anybody else, f save the supervisors, unless the Iegis- lature so directs. The legislature did not so direct Pima county is today. under the law, q frst-lass county. It will continue to be 9 first-lass county because, even with it's reduced terri tory, it has over $3,OOO,00O of assess able valuation. t will go over $3,- POO 000 this year without d0Ubt.-Tuc- son Star.
