 zOna in a Year
Recommendations Made By the Gov ernor Looking to Further Growth of Territorial Prosperity. Irrigation Aid.

Washington, Dec. 5.-The annual re- port of the governor of Arizona to the secretary of the interior has just been made public. It is an exhaustive doc ument, dealing with all the subjects in the territory in a thorough manner. Governor Murphy thinks the census should be 1O5,OOO instead of 1O2,O 900, as reported by the census office.

Railroad construction dur ing the past year amounted to seventy four miles.
 Throughout a greater portion of the year the territory has suffered because of the drought, but notwithstanding this handicap, the farmers have en- joyed prosperity and good crops. Last year, he says, was the most prosper ous for miners in the history of the territory. Mention is made of the vast forests and the excellence of the graz ing country. The public schools are in a fourishing condition, nearly 21,OOO children being enrolled. The follow ing recommendations are made:
 mat A1lZOna De duiullISI 44ieO I4iN union as a state.

WORKERS OF THE COUNTRY
The American Federation of Labor
 Meets Today.

Louisville. Ky. Dec. 1.-The largest congress of labor leaders ever held in the United States, as far as the num- bers represented and the interests in volved are concerned, will begin in Louisville tomorrow with the opening of the twentieth annual convention of the Ame1icAn Federation of Labor. Nearly one million organized laboring men and women. representing all sec tions of the country and the greatest variety of trades and occupations, are sending their representatives. More than eighty large National and inter- national trades unions will be repre-
 scented, some of them by four or five delegates. Most of them are labor leaders of National reputation. Among them are John B. Lennon, of the tai lors'; Max Morris, of he salesmen's; Thomas J. Kidd. of the wood-wOrkers'
 James Duncan, of the stone cuuters5 P. J. McGuire. of the carpenters, and John Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers. Two delegates from the or ganized labor of Great Britain and Ireland will also be present. They are John Weir and Peter Curran, the lat ter one of she foremost labor leaders of Great Britain, and the head of the General Federation of Trades and La bor unions, which was organized in England less than two years ago, and now numbers upwards Of 100000 or ganized workers. The British dele gates will have no vote in the conven- tion, but are expected to assist by their advice and to carry back to England a report of the progress of organized labor in the United States.
 The convention will be called to order in Music hall at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning by President Samuel Com pers. Among the delegates already here there is not the least talk of oppo- sition to the reelection of President Gnmpers, and the able leader who has been at the helm of affairs in the Fed eration for so many yeans, with the exception Of the brief term of office en- joyed by John Mcbride, will be re- turned without a dissenting vote. The convention will probably continue ten days, and 8 number of important ques- tions will come up for settlement. The Hotel and Restaurant Employees In ternational alliance and the Barten- ders' International league of America will ask for the obliteration of saloon employment agencies. The shoe work CTS will ask the federation to indorse the stamp of the Boot and Shoe Work CTS union as the only recognized shoe label.

dence, but only apply ing to labor and capital the same governmental power that is placed over all other citizens
 "A strike is a crime against society, just as much as a mob that takes a victim out of the custody of the law and infiicts summary vengeance upon him. So, likewise, is a lockout to enforce a demand of capital against la Dor. Suppose a person, having the GUS tody of another, attempts to starve that person into obedience of some de- Inand. How long Go you think it would be tolerated if found out? Not for a single moment. And so q lock out to bring worlImen to accept a less than a living wage, is starvation on a larger scale. and organized soci- ety should not permit it. Again. so- ciety hangs a man that stops another on a public highway and takes his money. but it permits organized labor to commit a greater crime in the boy cott.' Under this ban, not only is the individual held up and his property sought to. be taken from him. but even the innocent one, who would furnish him with the necessaries of life. is sim i!arly injured; and yet we claim to live In a civilized and Christian land. Gen tleTnen of this convention, should such things be possible under any form of government. much less under one claiming, as we do. to set a standard that the whole world should take for their guidance?
 ''Is it not about time for us to vim dicate that claim, and before attempt ing to Chrisianize heather lands. do more missionary work here at home? The South is starting on an industri career which can make her supreme in the industrial world. but before she may hope to reach that supremacy. she must take such action as will secure her industrial peace''

A PORTLAND PAY DAY
Six Robbers Rewarded For an Exhi-
 bition of Nerve.

Portland, Or, Dee. 5.-Six masked men held up the office of the Western Lumber company this evening, secur- ing $6.OOO, and escaped in the darkness. The robbery occurred at o'clock, when dozen msn were in the vicinity of the mill, which is located at Front and Seventeenth streets. Four of the highwaymen guarded the two en- erances to the office, while the other two entered with drawn revolvers and ordered the four clerks in the office to hold up their hands.
 The money was in envelopes, ready to be paid out to mill hands, this be- ing the weekly pay day. One robber quickly threw the money into sack, while the other kept the mill men oov- cred with two revolvers. They both backed out of the office, locked the doors, and the six men made their es- cape before the alarm could be given.

A FOSSIL GREEK FIND
Discovery of Big Coal Deposit Nol th-
 east of Phoenix.

pr. H. A. Hughes returned yester- day morning from a trip of several days duration to Fossil creek. about twenty-five miles east of the Verde river, near Mcdowell It was not a pleasure trip, though it was by no means an unpleasant one. but the Vlslt was strictly a business enterprise and was undertaken to establish the value of an alleged outcropping of coal.
 The doctor was told some time ago of the existence of a good vein of ccal Tn that neighborhood, so, as soon pos sible, he took some men with him and set out to find it. He says he had lit tie difficulty in finding the vein, which is of liberal thickness, and was pleased to find that it is hard coal of super for quality. He left his men there to make further explorations and fully expects a good report from them.
 NThe value of this coal deposit will, of course, depend greatly on quantity to be had. as the location is probably sixty miles from a railroad. It would require an immense deposit to war rant building a railroad to it, for over land freighting will he very expen- sive.
 However, if these obstacles are found to be easily overcome, the find will be better than the discovery of a gold mine.
 The fuel question is an important one and it's consideration enters largely into the calculations of the promoters of almost every new enterprise pro jected in this part of the territory. Wood is getting scarce; litt,e has been dors toward promoting the growth of trees which are valuable for wood.
 If a large coal supply can be devel- oped anywhere within a reasonable distance from Phoenix, its value will be incalculable.

She was operating fruit arian colony" in Florida and carrying on an establishment hera, performing cures by means of her occult power. She was run out of New Orleans by the police.

 The returned muleteers say they en- countered her and Jackson in Cape Town, where she was asserting that she had great powers of occultism and hyp- notism. Dis de Bar ou'G there called herself Helena and Jackson used the name of Horos. He had dyed his hair a bright golden hue. Dis de Bar was advising those who consulted her for their health to to her colony in F'loriGa. They had opened the College of Occult Sciences at Cape Town.

The provision is as follows: That no of ficer or private soldier shall sell in- toxicating drinks of any kind, as bar tender or otherwise in any army post or on any army transport, or in any encampment CT fort or any premises used for military purposes by the United States and the secretary of war is hereby directed to issue such a. general order as may be necessary to carry the provisions of this section in to full force and effect,

The New Book of MY. George Wharton
 James.

G. Wharton James "In and Around the best story of that greatest of na- lures wonders ever written. The work
 issued by Little Brown & Company, Of Boston, handsomely bound and handsomely printed, has latsly been issued. It is made up of ob- servations by MT James him self in the course of several years residence on the rim of iilhe can yon and of informa tion he gathered from the works of earlier explorers.
 No one man has ever been able to adequately describe the canyon, and no one will likely ever be able to do 1t, but no one has come so near doing it as MT. James. The book is freely il- lustrated from photographic views of the boldest features. In this connec- tion MT. James devotes a chapter to the photography of the canyon and says of a Phoenician; "A photographer who has met with admirable success Is MT. A. F. Messinger Of Phoenix. Ariz He has spent considerable time and energy at Bass Camp, Havasupaf Point and has a number of fine sub jects from all the salient outlook points. With a persistent energy that would have daunted and discouraged most men he labored day after day on the rim and plateaus below with his large 20X24 outfit making gigantic panOramas twenty inches high and eight feet in length" The author con- tinueS a lengthy description of the ad- ventures and achievements of Mr Messinger. Several of the illustrations of the book are made from photo- graphs by MT. Messinger.

HE OBEYED ORDERS
Juan Enos is an Indian Who Can Be
 Relied Upon.

Juan Enos was in town yesterday from the Pima village this side of Lehi. His mission was to confer with the wild Injun" committee of the car nival association, as he is under con- tract to deliver something less than Q regiment of long haired, highly deco rated braves here next Monday morn ing. clothed in gee strings and war paint and armed with bows and ar rows. Juan is a member of the reser- valuion police force. wears a blue coat with brass buttons and talks pretty good English. He is a good Indian g said a deputy sheriff who has known him for years, and he has never dis graced his uniform" The Phoenix man then related a little incident that occurred a few years ago, soon after Juan had donned his blue coat.
 A number of Indians were engaged in a drunken carousal on the reser- vation and one of them who was known to be a leader, was wanted by the agert, who thought by punishing him the disturbance would cease. He told Juan to go and bring him fn to the agency. Juan left but in the course of a few hours he returned and reported, "Injun no come, him heap drunk"
 Go and get him." the agent re- piled, "alive if possible. but get him."
 Juan again absented himself for time and when he returned he re- ported: 'Injun here now"
 "Where?" asked the agent.
 "Out there,'' said Juan, pointing to his horse and when the agent went out to see he found the corpse of the re- calc!trari5 buck strapped on Juan's Tony bahind his saddle.
