Petunias.

1t has been but a few years since
petunias were worth very much as or
namental flowers, though their strong
hold on life gave them place in
many a door-yard where they would
not otherwise have been known
Now the newer varieties come in
white and shades of red that are daz-
zlingly bright and a great many of the
plants will produce very sweetly per-
fumed flowers.
They begin to blossom in June,
when planted in the open ground very
early in the spring and continue to
blossom until frost kills them in the
fall. The seeds are very minute and
the best way to start them is to SOW
the seed in a box in the house in
March and transplant them as soon as
danger from frost is over They are
easy to transplant as cabbages and
blossom profusely even in quiet thin
soil A fve-cent paper of seeds will
furnish enough plants for half a dozen
flower gardens and no flowers returns
more for the cost of production

TAXES ARE NOW DUE.
Notifications of Indebtedness
 Sent Out

Each taxpayer has been presented with souvenir of prosperity by Tax Collector Seribner. This little me- mento is in the shape of 6 notification that taxes are now due and payable st the ratio of s3.20 per s1Oo, the second lowest tax rate Of any county in Arizona. This rate will remain unchanged up to the third Monday in December when, if the county tress- urer shall have not been consulted. five per cent will be added.
 While this rate is sufficiently high to jar the financial sensibiliiies Of the average taxpayer, one can compli- ment himself that his donation ts- ward the msintsnanoe of the county is not greater, when he remembers that the tax rate was sl .05 higher last year than this. The general taxpayer will appreciate this reduction. Those seeking homes, those who contem- plate embarking in business, usually ccusult the tax levy; light taxation is an incentive ts capital. ts men who want to build homes-is brings men into the county who will swell the assessment rsll ard in propor- ton 10 the increase of wealth n like proportion will the rate of taxation be reduced. No good citizen ob- jccts to paying his just proportion of taxation. Those who are called upon ts contribute most largely should do 90 uDgrudgingly. The pro rata is in proportion to the euccess that has at tended his business affairs. There are no f.vorites with the tsx collector. There are no favoIites with the board Of supervisors, wbs act as the com mercial agent ot the public. The tax rate is sufficient only to tide the county oyer, aud there are few who will hesitsse about meeting the mod est demand.

When the railroad frsm Fairbanks to College Peak shsll have been com pleted Tombstone will be on the main line of the Fl Paso and Southwestern railroad. The distance thus ssved will be of immessursbls benefit ts the company Transportation facilities are now based upon the short hauls i; especially is this true when perish- able goods and live stock are to be transported. and the passenger traffic invariably takes the shorter ronte.
 This line will be the scenic route Of the west. passing as it does through mountain and vale, spanning gorges and carrying the tourist through the most picturesque section of the west. ,rsyersiug en entrsncipg landscape its entire length. whose beauty is exceed cd only by the superb climate and the eIhiliarsting ozone that ladens the atmosphere and permestes the ex hsus.ed frame of the health seeker and gives him renewed lease on fife.
