WILL EXAMINE OFFICE.

Statesman Rowe is doing valiant service for Secretary Stodard, as against working. for the interests of the tax payers of the territory, in his efforts to prevent the fees received from filing articles of incorporation going into the treasury, instead of en- riching a single individual. He in vol1ed the gag rule to prevent the minority report of the committee be- ing read, and his actions throughout have been in direct opposition to the democratic platform. Mir. Rowe is a democrat, and the question of his vio- lation of democratic pledges. is a subject for his own conscience. and the party he represents, although the entire territory has a direct interest in the matter If the s50, 900 or more received from these fees could be turned into the territorial treasury every year it would make a snug lit tie sum to relieve tax payers of.
 The legislature does not seem in clined to be willing to blindly follow the leadership of Mr Rowe on this subject though. as immediately upon his gagging the minority of the com mittee from reading its report, the following resolution was adopted:
 Resolved, That the speaker of this house appoint committee, of five members of this house. of which the speaker shall be the chairman, to examine the report of Isaac T. Stod- dard, secretary of the territory. trans mitted to this house by the Governor, relative to the fees collected by said secretary in connection with the ar ticles of incorporation filed in his office and to examine and investigate the office of said secretary of the ter ritory in respect to all fees collected by him under authority of any act of the territory of Arizona, and that in the discharge of such duty. the said committee is hereby empowered to send for books, papers and persons, and administer oaths and examine witnesses under oath. and report the result of such examination and inves- tigation to this house,
 Speaker Powers then appointed the following committee: 0'Connell, St. Charles. Williams and Cowan. It is said when the committee was announced, Secretary Stoddard, who was on the floor of the house, made an uncom- plimentary remark concerning the committee.

At Mondays session of the lower house of the legislature a resolution vas adopted renouhciug and deuounc- ing the action of the council in fav- bring admission under union of the Arizona and New Mexico as single state. The resolution fairly bristled ,ith sentiment and repudiated in toto ne expression of the council resolu- ton. Of course these two conflicting resolutions. telegraphed to congress. will only tend to lessen the chances of statehood under any conditions. The eight hour bill as amended in the council was also passed by the house and will now go to the governor

An article appeared on Saturday in the Journal Miner in reference to the fire department troubles, which some has construed as reflection on the old city council. although the lan- guage is not capable of such con -iruction. Speaking of the depart ment Mayor Burmister says that the fire department never made a demand or a request on the city council which was not granted. New hose was pur- chased and all the apparatus asked for granted.

 HEAD OF LIST
Some Interesting Statistics Cleaned From Report of POstOffice
 Auditor.
1t Shows Where the Center of Terri. toriaI Progress and Prosperity
 Are Located.

One of the surest methods to deter mine the volume of business trans acted by city or town or to estimate the position it occupies in the public thought is by the business that is transacted through the postOtfice. In this respect the report of the auditor of the postoffice department at Wash ingtOn, on the amount of business transacted by the three largest offices in Arizona, which has just been re- ceived by Postmaster A. l.. Smith, of Prescott, is very gratifying.
 The figures are as follows: Beginning July, 1, 1900, and ending July 1, 1902, the gross receipts for the office at Phe- nix were: For 1901. S24, ,6}9 ST; for 1902, s26, S64. 8, or a gain of 9 per cent. For Tucson, during the same period the receipts were: For 1901, SIG, CT. O1; for 1902, SIS, 700. 19, or a gain of F per cent. At Prescott, the receipts were: For 1901, SIP, 097. 68; for 1902, s14, 529. l5, or gain of 20 per cent. These gains are for the fiscal year, but the gain for Prescott for the calendar year of 1902 makes even far better showing than that for the fiscal year, owing to the great progress that this section has made during the past eight or ten months. The calender years business by quarters as follows:
 For the year 1901, first quarter showed receipts amounting to S297S. or; second quarter, s3S24. 20; third quar- ter, s3O94. 55. fourth quarter. s3542. S6. amounting in all to s12, 732. 6S.
 For the calender year 1902 the re- ceipts were: First quarter s3760. SS; second quarter, slSOs. 96; third quar- ter. S4l42 24, fourth quarter, si692. B, making a total of 516. 664 If. gain of S393l. 7G, or nearly 31 per cent.
 Shold this gain keep up two or three years more Prescott will be second if not first on the list in Arizona. As il is the figures are very significant, and shows beyond the question of doubt that Prescott and the surrounding country is going ahead with greater strides than any other section in the southwest.

PREsCOTrs' FIRE DEPARTMENT.

PRESCOTTS' FIRE DEPARTMENT. Mayor Burke has addressed the fol lowing communication to the chief of the fire department in Prescott. which will explain itself:
 "Chief of the Prescott Fire Depart ment, City.
 Dear Sir: Will you kindly request the foremen of the hose companies and also the foremen of the hook and ladder company under your jurisdic- ton to furnish through your office for file and record in this office a com plete list of tLeir present respective equipment. And also a memorandum of the requirements of the respective companies to more fully equip for efficient work in case of necessity.
 Very respectively,
 Dennis A. Burke.
 Mayor
 The fire department of this city has been sadly neglected for the past two years, it being impossible to get the companies together or to get any thing for the men to work with. The matter has reached point of almost criminal neglect as the property in- terests of the city cannot be properly protected with a demoraliZed fire de .lrtment which has no equipments for Gghting fire. and the first thing any body knows. if something is not done. the insurance companies will be talk ing the matter up and are liable tC raise the insurance rates.
 The action of the mayor is along the right line and should be followed up by vigorous action on the part of all who have any authority to help improve the fire department. No in stitution in the city is more deserving of the undivided support and help of every citizen and official than the fire department. and the men who risk their lives to save the property of others should be given every consid eration possible. The Journal Miner hopes the mayor and council will work in harmony in this matter and act at once.
