FRANCE has sent the Turkish minis ter out. The French minister left Con- stantinople last week. Yet this does not necessarily mean war. The Turk is talking compromise, and he is trying to enlist some of the big nations on his side. At the present moment, however, the Turk has fewer friends than he has had at any time since the battle of Navarino, thee-quarters of a century ago. Unlike the situation at that time, England, France and Russia are not leagued against Turkey now, but there is a disposition to let the Sultan fight his own battles, which is ominOus for him. England has lost some of her old affection for Turkey, and this puts the sultan's government in a condition of isolation which is not splendid. There are indications that some of her oppressed peoples are alive to Turkeys peril. Risings are reported among the sultan's Christian subjects here and there which would undoubtedly reach large proportions if war with France should take place.

A PETITION to the postoffice depart ment is being circulated among PhOe- nix business houses for the establish ment of mail route from Mcdowell to TOntO. If the prayer of the petition is ever granted by the department it will be the starting of gOodly portion of the Tonto Basin trade to Phoenix mar kets. The board of trade is now work ing with a Tonto road proposition. Phoenix Enterprise.
 Flagstaff is the most accessible mar ket to the Tonto Basin country, and the business men of this town should get together and petition for the estab- lishment of mail route from here to the Basin. The fact that there is "egu- lar heavy freighting between here and Tonto Basin shows that Flagstaff is the natural outlet for that country. It should be an easy matter to show the department the advantages of a mail route from Flagstaff to the Basin.

SPEAKING of the misrepresentation printed in the Eastern papers in regard to Arizona, the Bsbee Review says: In case any stranger should be led by this and other similar publications to believe that Arizona is really desert, it may be mentioned that the United States census for 1900 shows that there are in Arizona 5.SO9 farms, with a total acreage of l,935,327 acres, of which 254, ,52l acres are improved. Quite q fertile desert this, when it is consid. cred that only within the past twenty years has there been any attempt made in Arizona to cultivate the soil on businesslike scale.

FROM the figures sent out by the census bureau we may form some idea of the tastes of the people. Appetite seems to have place, as there are 30,OO0 gristmills in the country. These mills grind for people at home and abroad. But thirst takes it's place ahead of appetite. While there are 3O,OO0 gristmils there are 10000 brew cries. While eating and drinking peo- pie must read; there are 23 9l6 printing establishments ia the United States, over ore-third of the number having been established within the past ten years.
