incorporation of Wins!ow.

A petition to the Board of
Supervisors, praying that v ms
low be declared an incorporated
town has been in circulation for
a week or more, and has received
the endorsement of more than
two-thirds of the property hold
ers of the town. After the re
quisite number Of signatures had
been obtained, a meeting of the
citizens was held and the follow
ing named gentlemen were Sc
lected to serve as councilmen
for one year: T. j. Hesser, E. A.
Sawyer, G. A. Wolff, F. T. La
Prade, G. L. Finn, A. T. Dema-
rest and w. R. Campbell.
When the petition has been
granted by the Board, the coun-
Gil will proceed to organize by
electing one of their number
mayor, selecting a clerk and
such other municipal officers as
they may deem necessary for the
proper management of munich
pal affairs, fix their salaries,
make an estimate Of the prOba-
BILE cost of the city government
for the year, levy a tax rate on
all property, and such other
things as devolve upon them un-
der the law.
1t will, of course, raise the
rate of taxation on all property
within the city limits. The
extent of the raise can only be
approximated, until the city
government is organized, sala-
ries fixed and incidental expen-
ses estimated.
The advisability of the move
ment is a mooted question. Some
claim the advantages to be de
rived will more than balance the
cost, while others claim exactly
the reverse. But that there are
some advantages that go with
incorporation goes without say
ing. The town authorities can
contract for a more efficient wa
ter service; can put in fire plugs
which will lessen the rate of in
surance and give greater protec-
tion to property; streets will be
cleaned and kept clean; side
walks will be laid; street cross
ings made and other much need
ed improvements inaugurated.
1t may be that our little city
will soon be lighted by electric
ity, the power furnished from
the round house. In short Wins
low may be putting on city airs
before another Christmas rolls
around.
Of course these things will
cost considerable, but will not
the improvements enhance the
value of property in a greater
ratio than the improvements will
cost? AS in all other expert
ments of this character, time
alone can solve the problem.

The reception the senators re
ceived in Phoenix upon their ar
rival is ample proof of the stand
ing of the Murphy-Adams gang
in this city. There were two
United States senators, the land
commissioner of the United
States and Col. AinsWorth-a1l
men of high character, yet when
these men arrived in Phoenix,
there were at the depot to vel
come them, ten small boys who
followed the Indian band, and
four citizens. Yet, under ordi-
nary circumstances, at least one
thousand representative citizens
would have been there to meet
these gentlemen. But the entire
matter was in the hands of a
couple of "Washington" Jack
leg reporters, Murphy and
Adams, and the citizens of the
Salt River valley openly rebuked
them by not coming near. It is
deplorable at this time when
Arizona is asking for statehood,
that such scum should foist it.
self upon the people. Yet the
official position gives such indi-
viduals entire to places where or
dinarily, the watch dogs would
be turned loose upon them
