GOVERNOR MURPHYS RETURN.
Interviewed m Regard to Statehood, WhiPple Barracks and Other Ques-
 tions of Public Interest.

Governor \. O. Murphy arrived in Prescott on Saturday evenings train, en route to Phenix from his trip east. Learning that his father was in very feeble health he stopped of in Pres colt to visit him, and also to circulate for day among his many friends here.
 He was asked by Journal-Miner reporter as to his opinion of Arizona $ chances for admission, when he re piled that he does not consider there is any chance whatever, at this ses- sion.
 ''In the first place there is very strong opposition in the east" he said, ''to the admission of Arizona and the other territories, under any conditions. In the next place the l fact that the territories gave a demo- cratic majority, hence not in poli- tical harmony with the administra- ton, has great influence with many senators and congressman against it. In the third place, congress is now overwhelmed with business, and even if majority of both houses were favorable to it, it is doubtful if it could be reached this session.
 Tt looks" he continued, "as if some important appropriations would have to be passed over for want of time to consider them"
 What Is your opinion, governor, of the possibilities of re-establishing Whipple barracks as a military post" '" was asked.
 ''It really looks more favorable now than at any time since the post was abandoned" he replied. During my visit in Washington I made a per sonal request of the secretary of war that another examination be made under the new conditions, furnished by the enlargement of Prescott's water works system. The request was granted and general Merriam, department commander, was directed personally to make the examination, and. as you are aware, he has already performed the service. The question of re-establishing the post will de- pend almost solely upon his recom- mendation. The secretary is heartily in favor of it and the opposition which has heretofore existed from certain quarters, which is not neces- sary to mention, while not entirely withdrawn, is practically inactive. If the army reorganization bill passes, and it is sure to do so, additional ac- commodations for troops will be re- quired, while the returning soldiers from the Philippine islands will also require to be cared for until mustered out"
 You have no doubt heard of the move to divide Yavapai county" sug- gested the scribe to his excellency. What do you think of it?'
 The suggestion brought a broad and suggestive smile to his face as he admitted that he had heard of it, but had not seen the boundary lines as they had been prepared. After all, it may be that the Clark county advo- cates are not really in earnest" he suggested.
 The governor is in excellent health, and left for Phenix on last nights traiu, where he will prepare this week for the meeting of the legislature, which cOnvenes next Monday.

RECEPTION TO GEN. MERRIAM.
Opera House Filled With Citizens tC to Receive Our Distinguished
 Guest.

The committee having in charge the decorating and preparation of the opera house for the reception of Gene ral Merriam and his aid, Lieutenant Salzman, of the Ninth cavalry, did their work well, as the hall last night presented a very pretty scene, draped as it was with the national colors.
 The stage was especially beautiful, being set with potted plants, while flags and bunting beautilied the walls and rugs, couches, easy chairs, etc., all combined to make a very cozy scene.
 The reception booth, at the right of the hall, was in charge of Mir. and Mrs. E. B. Gage, Mir. and Mrs. Henry | Goldwater. Mir. and Mrs. H. Kinsley, Mir. and Mrs. A. W. Edwards, Mrs. J. c. Herndon, Mrs. F. A. Tritle and J. H. Emmert, and as the guests ar rived they were presented to the general, who seemed in the best of spirits and warmly greeted each one, remembering many whom he met on his former visit here.
 The reception lasted till about l0:30 o'clock, when dancing began and con tinued till about ? o'clock.
 The music for the occasion was furnished by Mrs. w. A. Cline and orchestra, which was guarantee of its excellence.
 4 large punch bowl was stationed at the corner of the hall, next to the entrance to the stage, and was a happy feature of the evening. The champagne punch, which was pre- pared by Ben Belcher, was pronounc- ed to be par excellence and was i'm mensely enjoyed by those who par took of it.
 In conversation the. general ex- pressed himself as delighted with the large and warm hearted reception given him, and assured our citizens that Prescott would always have a large place in his heart and that it would give him the greatest pleasure to do all in his power at any time for her interests.
 It might not be out of place in this connection to say that during the gen erals visit to Del Rio to inspect the the new water supply, he made tests both of the quality and quantity of water to be used for Prescott's future supply, and found them most satis- factory indeed, and 50 expressed him. self. According to his calculations there will be three times the amount of water available there that will be needed for our purposes, and 1t Is of thevery bestquality, so that that objec- ton to the regarrisoning of Whipple has been removed, and as heretofore that has been the principle thing that has stood in the way, there can be no longer any question but the desired end will soon be reached.
 General Merriam spont yesterday the buildings at the fort, and left fer the aor.a ihis morning in company with |. B. Gage and W. A. Drake, in a,r. L-.-es pIivate car at tached to ta, ,e-;iar passenger. There can be 1n ..o:..j but the visit here of these distinguished gentlemen has done a great deai of good for our city.

as this territory clings to the tail of the democratic mule just So long will we remain a territory and it matters little what M. Quad or any other writer dishes up for eastern people to read. But as a state, wearing the robes of dignity, and having a star of its own on the flag, Arizona would moi attract such ridicule and would at once become a respected sister" Tucson Citizen.

CLARK COUNTY TALK.

It Is well known that H. J. Allen is a public spirited man. He is the pIime mover in the question of county division, and it is stated that he is backed by large fund to secure the proposed new county of Clark. The difficulty experienced in raising the revenue required to run the various county and the territorial govern ments, even with a high rate of taxa tion, has been a subject of great so- icitude on the part of many citizens, and probably to none more than to MT. Allen, and in order to obviate this largely, the question of a tax on the net proceeds of mines is again talked of and is not only being received with greater favor than ever before by the public generally, but is meeting with less opposition than heretofore, it be ing even suggested that as a condi- tion of the creation of Clark county. the Phoenix mule market may not be as closely watched the present winter as 1t was two years ago.
 Another public necessity for the protection of miners, and which has been agitated considerably. which if is also stated may be used as a rider to Clark county, is that of a territorial mine inspector, such as a number of states have. Mir. Allen has had a life long experience in the mining busi- ness and no one in the territory would be more struck in regard to the utility of such an office than he. Out of ap parent disasters often come great blessings and the proposed Clark county may not, after all, be an un mixed evil.

WHY WE'RE NOT A STATE

Ihe prime cause of Arizona's fail. ure to obtain proper recognition by the sisterhOod of states Is the nro.
 line opportunities afforded the yari. ous grades of liars who have used the territory as subject. The east. ern liar uses Arizona as theme and writes to make his friends think him brave and not afraid to mingle with the wild and unruly people of NJ Quad's imagination. The California liar tells his yarns to keep peonIe from stopping of en route to the Pa cltlc slope. The mining liar uses his Prevaricative ability to catch suckers and the political liar works his exag- geratlon machinery to corral votes Then we have the common. everyday lar, who would not recognize +bo truth with label on it. These indi- vlduals will have to be hung or other wise suppressed before Arizona cap hope for realization of her ripbts Pima Paragon"
 The Citizen does not believe that because M. Quad" has written col umns of Arizona Kicker articles Arlzona remains territory: that if he had not written these articles Arizona would today be state. His articles are so exaggerated that any person With brains reads them simply for the humor they contain. and not to believe them or gain instructions If IS not such articles that the Paragon refers to that has held Arizona hack There are other causes.

COUNTY DIVISION SCHEME.

Mir. H. J. Allen, of Jerome, is work ing up scheme to divide Yavapai county and to take therefrom the major portion of the taxable property of the county, outside of Prescott and form county to be named Clark county.
 Mir. Allen has had blue print map of his proposed new county made. It has its starting point on the Maricopa county line at point near Columbia and follows the Giia and Salt river meridian line to a point few miles north of Prescott, whence it diverges in westerly direction taking in Will Hanson valley. Thence it runs in a northerly direction intersecting the Coconino county southern line, just northwest of Crookton.
 For the benefit of those who may not be familiar with the location of the meridian line, it may be stated that it runs due north and south, be- ing about six miles east of the eastern limits of Prescott. A division of the county by this line it will be seen will take in all the principal mining sec tions of the county and the greater portion of it that contains possibili- ties for the future development of tax able property.
 NIT. Allen is very generous in his division-that is, generous to Clark county. He very generously also asks the people of Prescott to kindly consent to division on the lines he has prepared and make amicable arrange ments for the carving process. If they will do this Mir. Allen says there will be no fight, but if they refuse to accede to the demands then he prom ises one of the most bitter fights i'm aginable.
 Of course division on the lines sug- gested would mean bankruptcy not only to the old county but to the in dividuals themselves who reside in it, and the only thing for our citizens to do is to prepare for the contest.
 Mir. Aliens experience with the legislature two years ago, and the ex- perience of Mir. Clark in Montana, no doubt leads them to believe that their object can be easily accomplished, be- ing only question of price,
 The foundation for county division was laid in the political conventions last fall, when each party, in order to obtain the vote of Jerome, gave it a representative on the legislative ticket. This was well known at the time as a scheme on the part of Je- nome to secure two members of the legislature from that place. It mis- carried, however, as the democrats placed a candidate on their ticket whose unpopulaity caused his de feat.

FAYORS COUNTY DIVISION.

With an amicable arrangement be- tween the people of Jerome and Pres colt, mutually beneficial division of Yavapai county can be made. That will be much better, for both sections than to fight it out Enterprise.
 It is certainly very kind on the part of the Enterprise to take such a friendly interest in the division of this county. "The ''amicable" ar engagement offered for division, is the same as a highwayman offers his vic tim.
