GOD DID NOT FORGET ARIZONA,

1 God did not forget Arizona. She is not all desert, strangely fascinating as <hese cacti plains are, but she has ev. cry plant from torrid fern to Arctic lichen. and almost every wild animal of the continent. What with the great Colorado river, the grandest of Grand Canyons. beautiful San Francisco mountains, the Coconino forests, ruins of dead nations older than history; living Indians who are still Indians she has extreme variety of wonders, climate and products.
 Though the bad man of Arizona" still exists. he is rarely presented to tourists, and instead an advanced civ ilization and a blossoming desert pre- sent themselves. Water has wrought this change Aside from mining, the leading pursuits are agriculture and stock raising. One cannot help notic- ing on every hand the contrast-or- chards and deserts side by side. The treeless desert, sometimes favored with clumps of cacti. then the irriga- tion ditch, and by its side the bloom. i ing orchard.
 The Toltecs of old irrigated here but it is safe to say that they never dreamed of the great system of today
 and what Arizona may in future ac
 complish by way of making barren land fruitful, we can only dream

THE CITY OFFICERS.

The city election held on Tuesday resulted in the election of Lewis Hunt and E. Cord. These men were elected to fill the vacancies caused by the resignation of J. J. Bowen and A w. Kindred. The city council is now made up as follows: Peter Johnson, Lewis Hunt, John Taylor, Ed Scott, c. c. Warner, E G. Ord and Jas. Muir head Mayor.
 The political completion of the council is decidedly republican, but so far city elections and matters affecting the interest of the city, have been de- cided without regard to political lines. This is as it should be. Politics should have no place in our municipal affairs Republicans and Democrats, alike, are striving for the best govern ment and sanitary regulation of the city, through the means of incorpora- tion, and the attainment of this pur- pose is more important to our people 
 when each party will go before the peo- pie on platform, pledging certain improvements and innovations in the conduct of the city government, and party lines based on such platforms would probably be tightly drawn.
 A municipal form of government is business proposition, and to gain the best results, should be so considered
 The summer months are now ap. preaching and during June July and August the new council should direct their best efforts toward keeping the town clean. The health officers should be extra vigilant and crusade against foul smelling privys com. menced at once.
 l Bisbee's population is larger today than ever before and the council should take it upon themselves to protect these people from the scourge of typhoid fever SO far as lies in their power.

OFFICIAL TANGlE AT FL PASO.

There is a tangle between the off cials of the port of customs and the Fl Paso electric railway, over a ruling which was received from acting Commissioner General of Immigration Frank H. Larned, on section one of zhe act of March 3, 1908, which pro Vides that a head tax of S2 must be paid for every alien or immigrant en tering the United States, unless he be citizen of the United States, Mex leo, Cuba or Canada.
 The law was at first thought to be applicable only to steamship and rail way lines entering this country. The matter was taken up with the immi grafton officials in Washington some weeks ago by Collector Garrett. of Fl Paso, at the request of the attor, neys of the Fl Paso electric railway She firm of Clark, Fall, Franklin & Hawkins.
 The question was threshed out by the officials of the Washington immi. grafton office for construction of the term immigrant and the term alien. Also to see whether the law held within its meaning every form of transportation into the United States rom foreign contiguous country.
 A letter which came to Port Collec. .lor Garret day before yesterday, stat ing that the terms allen and immi- grant were synonymous in the mean ing of the law and that the law was meant to cover all forms of transpor- tatton from foreign country, whether by sea or land, by wagon or car.
 A question had also been propound- ed as to whether the law applied to all classes of aliens, consule included. The answer came back, The exemp- iions prescribed within the text of the law in section one are the only ones which can be exempted from its pro visions. Ccnsuls can not be excepted from the provisions of section one of The act of March 3, 1903, and must pay the head tax as though they were on a par with all other aliens and immi- grants"
 As a result street cars between Jnarez and Fl Paso are being stopped and immigrants and aliens taken and questioned as to names and ad dresses These names are presented 10 Post Collector Garret, who in turr presents bill for $2.O0 per head fol alien citizens, who are carried in by the cars of the electric railway com pany-
