GREAT FORESTS OF ARIZONA
Largest unbroken Area of Pine Tim,srS In
the United States

Few Of those who travel through the
territory by rail realize the extent of
The Arizona forests. Following is from
the report of Governor Murphy.
Arizona has the largest unbroken
pine forest in the United States cover
ing an area of over 600 square miles.
This timber is usually found at an alti
tude of $3.50 to 1000 feet. The total
quantity OF pine timber fit for 81 wing
purposes within the boundaries Of the
territory amounts to 100000 900 feet.
which can supply the needs of popu-
Gus state for more than Il century. The
principal forest area is in Conconino
county and borders the grand canon of
the Colorado. although ella. Apache
ard Yavapai counties have c0n~idcra-
hlc timber In the M"sollon mountains

her suitable for the manufacture of
farm implements. wagons. etc, aud for

THE government has created some
large forest reserves in northern AriZ"-

from spolation and to prevent d"Struc-

Sailor Poets Wanted.

An English literary writer says that
the time is fully ripe for the advent
of a sailor poet and the marine en-
gineer poet. Whether they write in
terms OF rhyme or no care not. A
virgin field awaits them, noble in
heritance, maturing for ages. They
can, If they come. utterly refute the
false and foolish prattle OF the arm
chair philosophers and prove tr.um-
phantly that SO far from the romance
and poetry Of the sea being dead, it
has hardly yet been given any ade-

Journalism Of Today ~ Viewed By q
0rAAt Edieor

Great Editor.
We have outKrown the age Of great
editors in the sense In which they were
accepted half q century ago. not be-
cause there are no longer great editors
among us. but because they have SO
largely multiplied as to efface individ-
uality. The towering lords Of the Jour-
nalistic forest are as great and grand
today as ever in the past. but host
of their fellows has grown up with
them, and the resistless logic OF their
advent has made the journalism OF to-
day absolutely impersonal. This change
has come because the rapidly-widen-
ing field Of journalism has summoned
large proportion Of the best intellects
OF the country into its service, and the
editorial writer has ceased to be tho
newspaper. Half century ago the
newspaper was luxury; today it Is
universal necessity. Our wonderful
progress in railways. in the telegraph
and in the journalistic mechanism
that leads the mechanism OF the world
In progress, with a free school at every
CROSS roads, has made the newspaper
multiply into countless millions. and
it is today the greatest Of the great
public educators. 1t has lfrger Glen
tele than the school, the <ollege and
the pulpit combined, and iD1>ead OF
reaching only few Of the .ncre culti-
waited and fortunate classes it how en-
ters almost every home and Is read by
every class and condition Of our S0.-
900, ,OG0 of people. The successful editor
today may be guiltless Of leaders or
paragraphs for his duties are much
more important than the writing OF
editorials. He has every class and
condition of culture at his command.
He successfully summons the Presi-
dent of the republic holding the high
est civil trust in the world. to enrich
his columns. Cabinet ministers, seua-
tors, Representatives and the most cul-
tured teachers in literature, art and
science are subject to his call, and the
pulpit, the bar and every other profes-
sion profTers the genius Of the land to
the editor. All these are journeymen
in the journalism OF today. while kings
and potentates OF the old world are
often more than willing to be heard
through the American newspapers.

of the front of the waist. No more is it
brought down to a deep point, but the
point, while decided, is inclined to be
shallow. Occasionally there is no point
at all, but a rounding effect.
The point is produced not so much by
pulling down the material in front as by
Shortening the back. The waist or belt is
pulled up a little in the middle of the
back, and the back is made rounding and
broader. The front Is then pressed low
and thus the point Is secured.
