II. ID. COburn'S Latest Report Gives
Details of the 1901 Allen County
Crops
There has been no lack of trumpet
blowing that the world might know
that Allen county has datural gas and
brick shale and ctm mt ingredients.
The factories have O,rn lauded and
justly, but the com parative hush which
represents the shouting about Allen
county crops could easily give one the
impression that nothing is raised
hereabL uts. In fact the story is be-
lieved in some places that ground
under which gas is found is or some-
how infected by the mineral that it is
not productive. And yet, while never
having become apoplectic telling of
our farming resources, this old county
is pretty steady, average commu-
nifty.
The report of the State Board of
Agriculture for the quarter ending
December 1901 and edited by f.. ID.
Coburn, gives crop and produce sta
tistics of every county in the State.
And old Allen has Il pretty good show

City Council Meeting
The Tucson citizen., 1902-12-06
THE CITY ELECTION.

The voters of Tucson will be called
upon next Monday to elect officers of
the municipality for the ensuing two
years.
The city is deeply in debt and the
limit of taxation has been reached. The
conduct OF municipal affairs during the
past two years has been marked by ex-
travagance, mismanagement and gem
eral incompetency. In some cases the
salaries of officers have been more than
doubled, and the contracts let for mu.
nicipal improvements have been much
more profitable for the contractor than
for the taxpayer. A change is neces-
sary in the interest of the public well
fare.
The revenues derived from the sale of
water to consumers have been applied
to the extension of mains to benefit pri-
vate property. This is a rank in njustice.
The cost of the extension of water mains
should be betrayed by a special tax
levied on those benefited by the i'm
provement. The consumers of water

EX-GOVERNOR MURPHy'S VISIT

Ex-Governor N. 0. Murphy of Phoe-
nix and Prescott spent yesterday in
Tucson campaigning for the Republican
municipal ticket. The Ex-Governor is
very busy man. His time is valuable.
During the recent Territorial campaign
he could not find time to make speech
for his party's candidate for Delegate to
Congress. But he did manage to find
time to devote a whole day to the mp-
nicipal campaign in Tucson. This is
very fattering to the Republicans of the
old pueblo.
Ex-Governor Murphy is not only an
able man, but very far-seeing citizen.
He does not habitually do things for
nothing. He keeps one eye always, and
sometimes two-as the late Sam Hall
would say--on the main chance. When
Mr.. Murphy was Arizona's Delegate to
Congress he saddled $1,000 in fraudu.
ent bonds on the Taxpayers OF Pima
lcounty. Every body in Tucson is tamil
lar with the Pima Narrow Guage bonds.
They constitute eteal pure and simple,
and Oakes Murphy is responsible for
saddling them on the county. Arrange.
ments are now being made in accord
ance with An order OF court for the pay
ment of the interest on these fraudulent
bonds. Murphy is watching the opera
tion. He wants to have his friends in
Office to assist in the collection of the
plunder. This is why Ex-Governor
Murphy is exerting himself for the
election of the Republican ticket in
Tucson.
What do the people of Tucson think
about it? Are they anxious to oblige
the man who saddled the fraudulent
Pima Narrow Guage bonds on the COM
munity? Do the people feel disposed to
90 out of their way to help him fortify
his machinery for collecting the interest
on the bond eteal? If they do, they
should elect the Repabl city ticket.
That was what Murphy was here for.

against persistent interruption, which
is as hard in it's way as the speed nuis-
ance.
This is of course, one of the conse-
quences, of the complexity of the life
we lead as compared with that led by
our fathers. They had a chance to
think; we have none. Nearly every
reader of these lines who has reached
middle life can remember the persons
of mature years who most impressed
their minds in childhood. These were
serious, thoughtful men and women
who when they had anything of
Importance to do, would sit down
quietly and think it all out before be-
ginning work ON it. Why? Because
in that day every person had few
hours to himself when he could use
his mental faculties consecutively ON
the subject before him. 1t is consec-
utive-not disjointed and spasmodic-
thought that counts.
Those were the days when letters
were written. Husband and wife
brother and sister, father and mother
friend and friend, if separated, wrote
not often, perhaps, but abundantly'
Their letters amounted to something,
because they contained more than a
line or two of commonplace as a mere
reminder that the writer's were alive;
they breathed the personality, the in
dividual spirit, of the authors, and had
human interest in consequence.
What happens now? The busy man
begins the day with an attempt to read
his morning paper, which is interrupt
ed by breakfast Breakfast is inter
rupted by the arrival of a special de-
! livery letter asking him to meet bus
mess associate at a certain place at 8
Their interview is interrupted, in its
turn, by telephone message from the
| Office saying that notary is waiting
there with an instrument for him to
sign. His reading of the instrument
is interrupted by a message inQuiring
whether he can lunch at the club
When he opens his mail, he is inter
rupted at every important stage by
calls from persons whose business is
urgent, but who have to catch the
train, or meet an engagement, or make
a bank deposit, and, therefore, can not
wait. His lunch is interrupted by two
or three club members-good fellows
all, of course-who wish to say some
thin to him very privately about the
way the assay has placed the condition
of certain mine.
And so it goes. Is it wonderful
that when day and evening have run
their gauntlet he finds his letter to
his brother still unwritten, and has
only strength enough left to scribble
on a postal card: yours came last
Wednesday, Glad to hear that AL
ice is better. How's the baby?"
Interruption is as serious a foe to
the human race in these days as
hurry.

A VICE OF THE ERA.

In a recent address, Bishop Doane of
the Episcopal diocese of Albany, ex
pressed his judgment that one of the
crying evils of modern life is the mad
desire for speed. 1t is manifested in
fast horses, fast vehicles, fast machi-
merry, a rushing way of doing every
thing.
We entirely agree with the bishop lin
his condemnation of this apotheosis of
hurry. We should be far from salts
fed to lapse back into the snails era
of a century ago, but we can not help
thinking that in getting away from it
we have gone few steps too far
The whirr and slam and hustle of the
life of today, especially in cities, is
wearing on the nerves of everybody, ;,
including both the persons who hurry
and those who only observe and suffer
from thu hurry of others.
Rut the craze for getting there and
getting there first" is only one of the
distressing incidents of existence in
our generation. A part of the wear
and tear at least, even if not the whole
may be avoided by studious self-con-
troll, keeping out of the way of harras-
sing sights and sounds, and practicing
the habit of Counting ten" before, ev-
cry speech and act, ones self, whether
ones contemporaries do or not. We
have no means Of defending ourselves

These men are strong, intelligent,
progressive and capable. They repre-
sent all that is best in the city. They
are pledged to reform. If they are
elected members of the City Council. it
matters not who will be Mayor, they
will keep the affairs of the city in good
order, they will stop jobbing, they will
scrutinize contracts, they will compel a
reduction in water rates, they will en-
deavor to adjust the tangled finances OF
the city without further burdening the
taxpayers.
When city warrants are being peddled
at discount of Is per cent, it is time
for the citizens to rub their eyes and
wake up. Put competent men in office,
and wind up the existing era of extrav'
agance and incompetency.

THE TRAITORS At HOME.

Dispatches from Washington give
the information that Arizona people
are secretly opposing Statehood in tel
egrams and letters addressed to United
States Senators. Who are these peo-
pie?
This is a free country and people
have a right to peaceably urge the
adoption of any form of government
that suits them. They have perfect
right to prefer the Territorial form to
Statehood They can even agitate
for the establishment of kingdom or
an empire, without violating law. The
people have the high authority of the
Declaration of independence, that if
they are dissatisfied with their govern
ment it is their right ''to alter or to
abolish it, and institute a new govern
ment, laying it's foundation on such
principles and organizing it's powers
in such form, as to them shall seem
luoSI llhcly W eneCI IAe1I SdAeIJ anu
happiness
But the citizen should act in the
open. When he adopts secrecy his
conduct smells of conspiracy, treach-
try or treason. If any man in Arizo-
ma is opposed to Statehood he has a
right to object to the measure now
pending in the Senate, but he should
do it publicly. When he adopts Sc
cret methods of attacking the desires
of the great majority of his fellow cit
izens, he assumes the attitude of the
secret assassin, the midnight conspir-
ator, the reasonable plotter, the
treacherous copperhead. The Sc
crecy of his action marks him as an
enemy of his people.
Who are the men who have sent the
messages to Washington opposing
Statehood? Delegate Smith promises
that he will make public their names
in the future. Mr. Smith would rend-
er a great public service if he would
endeavor to make known their names
at this time. The people want to
know them. Their neighbors want to
beware of them. The community
wants to mark them. Arizona is
anxious to brand them. They are
unpatriotic marplots unfit to associate
with men who aspire to freedom and
the right of self government. Ari-
zona will know how to deal with
them when she finds them out.
''Oh. for tongue to curse the slave,
| Whose treason, like a deadly blight
| Comes DER the councils of the brave,
And blasts them in their hour of
might!
May life's unblessed cup for him
Be drugged with treacheries to the
brim-
With hopes, that but allure to fly!
With joys that vanish while he sips
Like Dead-Sea fruits, that tempt tho
eye,
But turn to ashes on the lips!
His country's curse, his children s
shame.
Outcast of virtue, peace and fame,
May he, at last, with lips of flame,
On the parched desert thirsting die
While lakes that shone in mockery nigh
Are fading off, untouched, untasted,
Like the once glorious hopes he
blasted!
And when from earth his spirit flies.

was no particular ailment. Then he found
that his fingers were getting stiff and it
was with difficulty that he could move
and soon from the elbows down the flesh
hardened until the arms were useless. The
skin was drawn tight and his hands be-
came like marble. The prick of a needle
was not felt, neither did blood flow from
cut. The flesh was nearly white with
a marble cast.
Four years ago his feet and lower limbs
began to harden in the same way The
skin on his face was drawn and he FREE
quently said he felt he was gradually
turning to stone.
Years ago he was an inveterate smoker
and he always thought this was the cause
of his trouble.

The victim got very little sleep. He did
not seem to need it. Weeks passed at a.

During the day his attention was occu-

up and read. He ate as little as he slept
Seldom was he hungry, and he went for
