ORNAMENT THE PLAZA.

T. ID. Rampsey, representing the
Southern Nursery company, of Win

several days taking orders for his firm

month of November. this year. While
here lie took orders for a great num-

and to grow thus without irrigation.
He interviewed our county officials
with a view to obtaining an order for
sufficient trees to 90 around the court
house plaza, the number required being
about 100, at Il cost of between 50 and

NO POLITICS INVOLVED.

Homer Mcneil, a democrat, was
elected to the city council in PheniX
from the strongest republican ward in
the city at the election which took
place Tuesday That imperI;,.istic re
publican convention has killed the sin
gle standard one-lunged goose of Phe-
nix for some time to come.-Courier.
The PheniX Enterprise. one of the
staunchest democratic papers in Ari-
IONA, says that politics cut no figure
whatever in the recent city election
in that city. 1t says that the only
question involved was the much agi-
ated water question, and that Sanders
and Mcneil, both democrats. We're
elected on account of the position they
occupied on this question and has no
political significance whatever. Peo-
pie can judge whether the Enterprise
published in Phenix, or the Courier,
published in Prescott, is the better in
formed ON this subject.
The exact wording of the Enterprise
IN the subject is as follows:
1.-The election in the Second and
Fourth wards yesterday resulted in the
selection of the democratic nominees,
Mcneil and Sanders, although the bat

AN INVALID ILLINOIS LAW.

Some time since the Illinois legisla-
trIre passed Il law compelling all rail
road trains in that state to make Il
stop at all county seat towns. This
applied especially TO limited trains
The Big -Four violated the law by re-
fusing to stop its limited train at
HilIsboro and Il test case was brought
The Illinois courts, including the SUI
preme court of the state. sustained
the validity of the law when it was
appealed TO the supreme court of the
United States. which has just handed
down decision declaring the law
unconstitutional, inasmuch as it is a
direct and unnecessary burden on in
terstate commerce. As a result of this
decision faster time viii now be adopt

grow considerably before being SEIZED

AN UNNECESSARY RESOLUTION.

The wisdom is doubted of the action
of the republican convention in PheniX
in adopting a resolution favoring the
grazing of sheep on the forest reserves.
This is neither political or territor-
iaI question. but a sectional one. Men
of all parties around Flagstaff and
Williams seem to favor it, while those
of all parties in the Salt River valley
are opposed to it. In the other coun-
ties of the territory, or at least iIls a
majority of them, it is a matter of
comparative Indifference. as they are
not affected by it. The question VIII
never be settled, either, by any polit,cai
party. The question of the preserva
| ton of our forests is conceded by ii
to be very important one, in fac
an absolute necessity. The only ques
ton to be decided is to adopt sucl
rules. regulations and restrictions as
will accomplish this end and ut the
same time not infringe on the rights
of individuals or communities, or per-
haps the better way of stating it would
be: not to curtail the privileges here
tofore exercised by private individuals
TO greater degree than is absolutely
necessary.
These forest reserves are under the
control of the general government. the
land and all that is on it being the
property of the government. The
disposition of the department is to con-
cede privileges heretofore enjoyed by
stockmen: provided. it is found that
the exercise of such privileges does
not thwart the purpose of the govern
ment in establishing these forest re
serves Several other states and terri
tories are affected by the same ques-
ton and no ipse diXit of any political
party will decide it 1t is not a wise
act for any political party to express
| itself as in favor or against a propO-
sitiOn of this nature. over which the
territory has no jurisdiction and can
not acquire jurisdiction. The govern
ment at Washington will be governed
solely by what it deems the best inter
ests of the government. and not any
expressions of approval or disapproval
of any political party.

FRENCH's NEW WAREHOUSE.

Mention WAS made iii these columns
few days since of the purchase by
Il. d. French of three lots near the de
pot, on which he proposed to erect a
large three-rOom warehouse. Mr.
French. after due consideration of the
proposition, yesterday purchased three
more lots and will put double the size
of his warehouse and will make six
large rooms instead of three Mr.
French viii occupy one of them for
his own goods. while he has already
rented two of them and says he will
have no difficulty in renting the others.
There is a good well of water in the
property, which greatly adds to its
value
The building which he intends to
erect will be of tufa from Kirkland
valley with q structural iron roof, and
it will be absolutely fire proof and will
be the only fire proof warehouse in
the territory. 1t will be built so that
cars will be run right in front of the
doors for loading and unloading.

There is only one way to cure deaf

intlamed condition of the mucous lin

this tube gets infamed. you have a

and when it is entirely closed deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in

FOR NAVAL INCREASE.
Project Is Now Under Way For Big
 Addition

New York, Oct PA vaster pro- gram for Il naval increase than has ever before been contemplated on tins side of the Atlantic is now under con
 sideration by the board of construc- ton, says q Washington dispatch to the Tribune, and if approved by the president, as 1t is expected to be. it is to be urged upon congress at the coming session.
 The project involves the construc- l tion of not less than forty warships, including various special types not hitherto built for naval purposes. The board of rear admiralS, which has taken up the subject under especial directions from Secretary Long. is | arailing itself of the highest expert opinions ill the service. in order that its report will not be open to unfav- orable criticism among naval officers. 1t being the expressed intentions of the navy department to discourage any
 opposition to q line of policy when
 once adopted.
 Tie program will include no less than six ships ''Of the heaviest armor l and most destructive ordnance. with
 the highest practical speed and great est attainable radius of action upon
 displacement of about 15.000 tons.'
 combining the most desirable features oI llue ol Dltllt SIllDS Illl cfulSpfS.
 At least twenty gunboatS are proposed,
 of light draught, with large rapid fire
 batteries and accommodation to give
 comfort to officers and crews station ed in the tropics.
 Provision is made for an increase
 in the torpedo tiotilla by ten new yes
 sels. including new type of torpedo
 cruiser on the lines of existing tor
 pedo boat, destroyers. which can ac-
 company fleet of battleships across
 the ocean. Several of the other new
 vessels in this category are to be sub
 marine, if success attends the i'm
 proved Holland boats now under con-
 tract. The program will also include
 three armed collieries of a capacity
 enabling each of them to deliver
 10000 tons of coal to Manila Guam
 or Pago-Pago. A large unarmed ship
 which is recommended is q floating
 machine shop of about G,OOO tons dis placement for duty in repairing naval
 vessels at great distances from gov l ernment yards. especially in the Philippines. Her design grows out of the experience with the Vulcan at Guantanamo, when that vessel ob- viated the necessity of withdrawing half the fleet from the Santiago blockade.

MUNICIPAL STREET RAILWAY
Bill To Be Introduced By Chicago
 Railway Commission.

Chicago. Oct 27.-The Chronicle says: The bills which the municipal stret railway commission proposes to introduce at the coming session of the state legislature as the result of scy- eraI months exhaustive study of the traction situation, are practically cOin- Dleted.
 The first measure will be on con ferring upon the city authorities the specific right to own and operate street railways. Under its provisions the city will be empowered to negotiate for the purchase of the present street railway plants within the city limits or as an alternative to build an entire ly new system. The money for this purpose is to be raised by the issuance of bonds after the question has been submitted to a vote of the people.
 The second measure provides for municipal ownership of cOmprehen- sive system of down town subways. and like the other bill, makes an af1ir- native popular vote necessary.
