SENATOR AsHURsT of Coconino has thrown a mantle over the skel- eton that is supposed to abide in Secretary Stoddard's office. Mir. Ashurst has introduced a bill in the council providing for a fran chise tax of $1O for each and every set of incorporation articles filed in the office of the territorial secre- tary, the same to be turned into the general fund. It is estimated that the revenues thus acquired will, if the bill becomes law, gregate between $15,OOO and $1S,- GOO annually. The NEWS hopes that MT. Ashurst's bill will become il law, as it is q meritorious exac- tion. not hurtful to the perus. of the secretary, and will have ten dency to check the constant expose of the fin dubious sums being rolled into Mr. Stoddard's private vault, Il continuance of which might drive others to seek similar position.

of itself is pretty good salary. We agree with Editor Bird of the Nogales Oasis, that the low prices atwhich articles are published in Phoenix are not due to the secre- tary's machinations, but to the in- ability of the press to maintain a living scale. The maximum price allowed by law for publishing arti
 cles of incorporation is three dol lars per inch; yet by their greed the Phoenix papers have cut the price to the munificent sum of $7.5O and $15 for each set of articles.

THE majority of the citizens and taxpayers of Williams appreciate greatly the action taken by the town council, last Saturday even ing, when permits were refused for the erection of tents and frame buildings on the burned district. It was not the intention or desire to prohibit anyone from engaging in. business as soon as suitable brick or stone buildings shall have been erected; but to allow the cree ton of tents and shacks would be

"An Old Traveller" Held Up.

Last weeks Coconino Sun pub- lishea letter from "An Old Trav- eler." Its writer complains that certain articles on the Cliff Dwell CTS, which have appeared, make him tired, and he says:
 ''The Cliff Dwellers were nothing more than low-bred Mexicans. At Silver City, N. M., they have bored holes into. the hill-sides like squir- rels, and stuck smoke-stacks out, and are living there today with their families"
 Americans of necessity have lived in dug-outs, but Indians and Mex jeans never do so. They prefer to erect their tepees and hogans, or their houses, of adobe. In Silver City the Mexicans have substantial rock and adobe houses, often heater than the homes of their American associates, and, to speak of them as he does, leads one to infer that the Suns correspondent never was in Silver City, N. M.
 Any one who has ever seen the cliff dwellings. abodes uninhabited during the memory or traditions of the oldest Indian, would not for a moment assert they were once the homes of Mexicans.

residence In a cold climate. As soon
