Barney Smith came back from the
carnival at Phoenix with a small dele
CATION who were called back by bust
ness before they We're more than half
| through with the fun. Barney says
that every one estimates the present
carnival population of the city at at
least 10000; that the streets are one
mass of people. He also states-but
this the readers of the Prospect must
take with a grain of salt-that Tom
Shultz, our chief, had him put in the
lunatic asylum and that he, after q
short talk with DR.. Miller, turned the
tables on Tom, and the doctor let him
out and put Tom in in his place. The
doctor assured him that he could cure
his patient in one day, and send him
back safe and sound.-Prescott Pros

People of Phoenix are pulling to-
! gether most commercially in the mat
/ ter of securing statehood for Arizona.
/ There is no question as to our terri
| torys qualifications for the response
bilities required for entering the gal
| axy Of states. We should have been
admitted long ago. Had we been ad-
mitted in 1892 there is little doubt that
! our advancement in population and
wealth would have been very much
! greater than has been the case. There
| is therefore no good reason why we
/ should be held in territorial vassalage
any longer. and for such reasons the
| Citizen endorses the broad views of the
/ Phoenix papers, which regardless Of
! political views stand shoulder to Shout
der in demanding this right.-Tucson
| Citizen.
! The Courier reporter talked with an
old time Arizona wood choppt:. and
/ hGuler yesterday who said that the
I Arizona blue-jay devoted much of its
( time to forestry. and that these birds
had planted thousands of the trees
/ now growing all over Arizona. He
/ says these birds have a habit Of hurry
/ ing small seed in the ground with their
! beaks and that they frequent pinyon
! trees and bury large numbers Of the
small pine nuts in the ground many of
which sprout and grow into trees. He
+ was walking through the pines with
an eastern gentleman a short time ago
when one of these birds flew from a
tree to the ground, stuck its bill in the
earth and quickly flew away. When
told what had happened the eastern
man was skeptical, but the two went
to the spot and with a knife blade dug
out a sound pine nut from a depth of
about an inch and a half. Thus, it will
be seen, that nature has plans Of her
own for forest perpetuation.-Presc
Courier.
