ARIZONA.

Very few people comprehened what rapid and large advances have been made by Arizona during the last ten years. Even the residents of the territory themselves may well be astonished at the showing they are able to make, for it is not until the cumulative facts are pres en,ed that the actual condition Is realized
 The customary, persistent and righteous campaign for statehood which is being waged by the people of Arizona this winter has served to bring out some remarkable statis, tics. The taxable property of the tefritory has increased 267 per cent during thelast ten years. Last year the total valuation of Arizona prop erty increased $1,l50,0o0 over thr year before; today it is estimated to be $32, ,500,000. It is asserted. too, that assessments are the lowest of any of the western states.
 The property assessed in the ter ritory consists of -3,730,000 acres oi land, 45.O0O horses, stores and build ines worth $4,27O,OO0, and sheep hogs, cattle and other domestic animals, assessed at $5,263,OOO Only the toughest estimate may bt made of the value of the mines o the erfitory, but they are set dowr unoficially as worth about $780, 100000. While there are 72, ,5OO,- GOO acres of land in Arizona. oni about 5,000,000 acres are arabic but even this is a greater arabl' area than is cmbraced within clever states in the Union. The net bond ed and floating indebtedness of tht territory on July i, 1899, was $94S, 166, and of this $100,000 is ntv debt assumed by Arizona for tht building of a new capitol at Phoe. nix.
 Irrigation has made tremendous progress in Arizona. Over 3O00,OO( acres in Maricopa county alone have been redeemed with fresh water from the Salt river. Over 20,OCC acres were redeemed by new irri- gation system from the Colorado river last year. The same company is now at work, at an expense o Se0O,000, to bring water from the Colorado 10 lands in Mohave and Yuma counties, which will ado l5O.OO0 acres to the arahle lands ot Arizona. Other companies are tack ing the Gila river in Pinal county, the Verde in Yavapai county and the Little Coloradoin Navajo county. These plans carried out will add 250,000,000 acres more to the arabic lands of the territory. The soil of these irrigated lands is said to be as mellow and fertile as any in America.
 Last July Governor Murphy re- ported the white population of Arizona to be 100000 It is now estimated to be ll5,000. This is a growth of 56,OGO since 1890. The population is intelligent and law abiding. The Arizona Kicker dayS are past. In short, Arizona is splendidly equipped for statehood and the promotion should be delay ed no longer.-L. 4. Herald.

The chamber or commerce hf 5 decided not to sanction the land grant bill asked for by former Mayor Carlson, and if the member of congress from this district does not support the bill it is not prob able that it wlll be adopted by congress. But is the matter to drop there? The Sun hopes not. It is hoped @ new plan will be adopted by which all San Diego county can secure some benefit from that desert land.

The total population in 1890, with
which the aggregate population of
the present census should be compar
ed was 63. .069, ,756, Taking that as
basis, there has been gain in popula-
tion of 13, ,225, ,464 during the last ten
years, representing an increase of
almost 21 per cent.
The announcement Of the popula-
tion by States made at the census
office brings the question of appor-
tionment prominently into view. 1t
has for some time been assumed that
the basis of the next apportionment
would be about 200,0 to congress
sional district, instead of 173, 901 as at
House of 377 members, and an electo-
raj college of 467, instead of 357 rep
resentatives and Az electors as now.
The population of Vermont is 343, ,641,
against 332, ,422 in 1890. This is a gain
of II, 1,219. The population in 1880 was
335, ,286; 1870, $50, SOL; 1860, 315.O98;
1850, 314, 12o; 1910; 291, ,94s. The popu-
lation of the other New England
states is as follows: Maine, 694, 1866;
New Hampshire, Al 1,5SS; Massachu-
setts, 2,805,346; Rhode Island, %, ,536;
Connecticut, 9O8, ,355. The population
of New York state is 1858, ,OO9, against
1897, 1858 in 1890 The number Of Indi-
ans in the state not taxed is All.

Attempts to raid the statutes of the
state in the interest of liquor selling,
or to screen violators of law from
punishment, may be looked for all
along the line. The efforts to secure
the repeal or annulling of the laws
requiring the approval of States at
torney's bills for service by judges of
supreme court, and making the pos
session of a United States license
prima facie evidence in the case of a
person charged with selling, are in
the interest of violators of law and
oughtto fail, as they undoubtedly will.
The scheme to amend the rules in
the matter of yea and nay vote
was another of the same kind, de-
signed to make lit possible and easy
for members to escape publicity in
voting and evade responsibility for
their votes on questions pertaining to
the regulation of the liquor traffic.
The devices of the enemy will not end
with these futile efforts. The sup
porters of the prohibitory law will
need to keep both eyes wide open
for ''the ready trick and fable' of a
cunning ard we'll organized oppos-
itlon.-Montpelier Journal.
