From the present concensus OF
opinion there ia good reason to believe
hat the next Arizona legislature will
create at least four new counties,
G aham, Coch;se. Maricopa and Yavi :
PAL will each contribute one each.
Yuma, Maricopa and far off Western
Pima contribute a fifth, From TIC
original Pima county four n.w coun :
ties have been created, Piual, part OF
Gila, Graham, Cochise and Santa
Cruz, all prosperous counties. A, d
yet Pima is robust, thrifty and enjoys
a full measure of prosperity. Now lot
some of the other old counties en-
courage their outlying settlements to
set up housekeeping for themselves.
1t will prove profitable as source Of
economy for the old counties, and " III

A HORRIBLE CRIME.

Last Monday, @. A. Young was
arrested on a charge Of rape and incest
and locked up. He had hearing be-
fore Justice J. II. Pomeroy last We'd
nesday and pleaded guilty to having
had improper relations with his 10
year old daughter Katie for the past
three years. He was bound over te
the grand jury.
During the examination it also de-
velopcd that the eldest son was equal
ly guilty, and warrant has been is
sued for his arrest, but he took the
evening train for Tucson, and nc
doubt is in Old Mexico by this tipe.
Young is about 45 years of age, is
a degenerate, and reminds one con-
sidorahIy of brute. He is possessed
of very low degree Of intelligence,
and is very illiterate.
The community was intensely dis
gusted and had it not been law abid-
ing, it is doubtful if the prisoner would
have escaped lynching. He is now
in the county Jail awaiting the action

essentially practical article on 1.-THE
Breakfast Hour" in the course OF
which she says: "A teacher in one OF
the large city schools says that if any
of her pupils complain of headache
during the morning, or are peevish
and hard to get along with, the first
question she asks is if proper break,
fast has been eaten. If she finds it
has not, she sends the pupil for a
luncheon. She also advises the moth.
ers of her pupils that when a child
shows little disposition fer breakfast
the mother should see that it is sup
piled with a luncheon to carry tc
school to eat at the recess period. ]
don't know how many housekeepers
/ have heard say that the meal they
most dreaded was breakfast. They
knew what to have for dinner, and
could get up dainty tea or appetiz.
ing luncheon, but they never knew
what to get for breakfast. 1 ALWAYS
think these housekeepers either must
have very little originality or must be
too indolent or Indifferent to think
things out. There may be Just as
much variety in the breakfast as il,
any other meal" " X ~
