Well Said, w ell Said.

Thomas Benton Murdoch, in the FL
dorado Republican, says OF the won
dcrful West:
Eliminate Western brains and
money from Wall street and New York
would-collapse in day. Take from
ern energy and enterprise that goes to
make it great city, and grass would
grow in its streets. Remove from the
literary field Western writer's and its
newspapers and magazines would be as
stupid as last years almanac. Ban
ish the Western preachers from the
East and the entire Atlantic coas t
would forget God in year. Call off
the Western professors from their COL
leges and their institutions of learning
would be marked for decay. Stop the
Western food supply and the East would
starve. Take from the army the
Western soldiers and it would be no
more effective in time of war, than
Madam Jarley'S wax works. Call out
the navy every Western man and half
OF Uncle Sans oil tubs would go to
the bottom for lack of brains to keep
them ailoat. Remove from Washing
the honesty, intelligence and patriot
ism of the West, and the government
would lapse into imSecility-into in
nocuous desuetude. Take from the
shops and the factories Western Drawn
and brains and they would become tle
habitations OF bats and owls. And
yet the East is forever reviling the
West for everything coarse and COM
mon and unmannerly. The West can
get along without the East, while the
East could not exist a day without the
West, and it is time for the only really
God-fearing, Golden Rule respecting,
flag loving, patriotic people of the
country TO Systematically snub the
snobocratic imbecility of the East, up
on every possible occasion-for its
brainless mpu1ence-for its puritani-
cal Pecksnifiianism-for its insane
jeaiously of the West and everything
Western-for its impudent, insolent
and persistent lying about Western
people.--Murdock in Western Pub

the races were over they concluded to

Messrs. Yaeger and Jochem returned

NacO May Become Main Port of
Entry.

In Nogalcs there is now Il decided
fear that the main port Of entry may
be noycd from that place to NacO in
the near future says the Bisbee Miner.
The FL Paso & Southwestern is re-
ported to be principal advocate of
Naco, while the Southern Pacific is
fighting hard for Nogalcs to retain the
Office.
ON the Mexican side OF the line at
Naco is the support OF cn;ry which
makes IL an Important point in the iu-
dustrial life Of Sonora.
All it needs now is the main port of
entry ON the American side OF the line
to make city next in size to FL Paso.
Collector Of Customs Edwin X Bakee
Of the port at Nogales, is reported to
bc taking II leading part in the fight
to get the port moved to Naco.
1t is stated that ne had an official out
from Washington Il few weeks ago to
look into the matter.
Collector Baker holds that Naco,
which is now Il snb-por, Of entry into
Sonora and the Canancas, is of more
Importance than the main port Of
Nogalcs.
In substantia,ing this claim, he says
that at Naco last year the average pas
sage of cars through the customs house
was something over forty per day as
against less than half that number
through Nogales.
He says further that the business is
almost as great as that which passes
through the port OF FL Paso.
The Canauca camp is now the head
az the Sonora river navigation and
there is good wagon road To those
camps bclov, consequently much OF
the stun used in the lower Sonora
camps is now transported via the
Cananea and iaqui river road.
The Mining Scientific Press peril
neutly remarks: "An uutimely divi-
dcnd is often forced from Il company's
directors in opposition to their judg-
mcnt and wishes by impatient stock
holders, who can not understand why
money in the treasury could not be
better used in insuring or creating
conditions that would enable the COM
pany to pay bigger and moro perma-
ncnt dividends later on. The best
way to prevent dissatisfaction or sus-
picion Is to be frank. Few stockhold-
ers will want 10 adopt a suicidal policy
il they can be shown that the best in
terests of the corporation can be bet
ter served by betterment OF the com
pany's property than skinning the
treasury in an effort to satisfy the un-
thinking by declaring dividend out
Of money that could be we'll employed
in development and improvement"

THE HASSAYAMPA.

! The following poem, taken from the
| New York Sun, was written by An
drew Downing. of Phoenix, who fire.
queutly contributes original poems to
the columns of the Phoenix Repub-
! lican:
There's a legend, centuries old,
! BY the early Spaniards told,
| OF sparkling stream that lies
Under Arizona skies.
| Hassayampa is Its name,
And the title to its fame,
Is wondrous quality
Known today from sea to sea,
Those who drink its waters bright
Red man, white man, boOr or knight,
Girls or women, boys or men
Never tell the truth again.
Though the story sounds, 'twould seem,
Like an Opium-eater's dream,
| am soberly inclined
In it much of truth to find.
BY its premise | account
For a very large amount
OF the lying that is done
Every day beneath the sun.
When the banners and the band
Lead the speaker to the stand
Politician sleek as grcese-
He proceeds 'to speak his piece
And the while we cheer or chafe,
Shows us, If we would be safe,
He must be our guiding lamp
He is full OF Hassayamp!
When Wanting veteran tells
How hundred battle bells
Saw the deeds he's noted for
How his valOr closed the war,
We are silent, yet we think
He mas quaffed the fateful drink;
Naught can his delusion cure
He's a Hassayamper sure!
When a woman seems to guage
With such skill her age
That the net result appears
Short about dozen years,
| suspect, now and then
Just the same as do the men
She, minimizing, let's her lip
Take :. Hassayampa dip.
