Julius Caesar, bidding for popular

proceedings of the Roman senate to
be published daily by trained writer's,
who were called tabularli, being what
we today style reporters. These re-
porters were probably only rapid wri-
tiers, using the ordinary characters.
The reports were revised and edited
before their exposure to the public
eye, and were then circulated even in
the distant provinces-just the same
as the Congressional Record is now
sent to the constituents of members of
our congress. Prior to this time the an
nails of the great lawmakers were
written on tablets and placed in q
room of the pontiff, where they were
accessible to the public. The people
had to go to the newspapers and il
was not delivered at their homes as
now. This room of the pontiff was a
general reading room, reminding one
of the periodical room of the congress

DEATH OF GEORGE U. COLLINS
One OF the Pioneers OF the Valley Sue.
cumbs to an Attack Of Pneumonia.

Hon. George L. Collins. whose prob
ably fatal Illness was announced In The
Republican yesterday morning, died dit
10 O'Clock last night. There had been
for days really little hope of his recov-
cry from an attack of pneumonia which
set in week ago. Mr.. Collins was
sixty eight years of age. He leaves
three sons. Lewis W., Willard E. and
Rolla A. Collins, all of Phoenix. The
arrangements for the funeral will be
announced today.
Mr. Collins was a native of Maine.
He came to the Pacific coast in 1850
and to the Salt River valley in 1875.
He has resided here ever since and came
TO be one of the foremost farmers in
the valley and was prominent in most
of the undertakings for the upbuilding
of this part of the territory. Mr.. Col
Inns had for a long time taken an act
i've part in the democratic politics of
the county and at the time of his death
was a member of the territorial legis
lature.
MI. Collins was married in Santa
Cruz, Cal, in 1861, and his wife died
seven years ago. Mr.. Collins was a

dents to decide, for they had the ma
terial for making them and paper and
parchment for printing. and then, as
now, there was a heavy growing de-
mand for reading matter. 1t was not
until the material for writing changed
that there was much progress in the
matter of spreading the news. The De-
dialogue was written upon tablets of
stone; the Athenian record, now known
as the Parian Chronicle, was engrav-
ed upon tablets Of marble, and next
we find inscriptions en- thin plates Of
metal and on the broad leaves OF GER
tain plants, on sheets formed of woven
texture from the bark of trees and on
the skins of animals. These heavy and
cumbrous volumes were as difficult
to handle as the iron money imposed
upon the Spartans.
THE Assyrians came nearer to the
printing press than did the Egyptians.
for they discovered and practiced a
method of rapidly multiplying their
writings, using engraved seals, consist
ing of cylinders, from which any num-
Der of impressions could be made. Nat
urally intellectual advancement was
rapid, with the Introduction of 'circu-
lating documents. books and papers,
for the reading class was then only the
wealthy, even In the best days of Ro-
man civilization. The assembled intel
lect heard the news at the Olympian
games and in the Athenian theater.
"C1cero's shorthand reporters were
the beginning of the stenographic art,
without which we could not get along
very we'll in this age of newspapering.
Cicero's plan called only for the taking
down and copying of the proceedings
of the senate by educated slaves. and
these copies were sent out Cicero
worked on the same plan of gaining
popularity as do the statesmen who
send out the Congressional Record

he was PROFESSIONALLY pretty
shrewd politician. 1t is gratifying.

ent day to know that we are not slaves

work, but one of our profession will

NEW RURAL ROUTE
The Whole Country West OF the City
is Now Covered.

The new rural route No. was ush-
cred in yesterday with Hal Bennett in
charge 1t was really more than the
starting of a new route. 1t involved
the extension of the service on all the
routes west of the city. 1t includes Ill
the territory south of the Yuma road
to the river and seven miles west Of
the city.
This route has been in contempla
ton for a long time and at one time
it was thought that the order for its
establishment would be made. 1t turn
ed out though that when the petition
was sent to the department there had
been 4 change in the rules of the de-
partment by which il appeared that
there were not enough patrons in the
proposed district. There was more
than were required for the whole
country proposed to be served by all
the western routes but not quite
enough for this particular territory.
Postmaster MClintock did not let
the matter rest there and it was soon
found that more than the requir ed
number of patrons could be obtained.
They were obtained and an inspector
was sent on from Washington to verify
the signatures. He went over the dis
trict and found that there were even
more persons who would avail them
selves of the advantages of the rural
delivery than had signed the last petit
ton.

The published account of the i'll
ness OF the late Marcel Dugas was
somewhat in error. Near two weeks
ago. having been seized with q cold,
and symptoms Of heart trouble, and
fearing the latter might become acute,
he quit his solitary camp on Gold Hill
and came to Houck's station to be
rear help if needed. Part of the time
he spent with Major Gates near Sierra
Alta, twelve miles north CT here. Mon
day at noon he came to my tent look
ing very bad, and l invited him to
lie down. But after a few minutes
sleep he awoke strangling. and / got
him up and to breathing. Against my
wish he insisted on getting out into
the air and walked 20 the store. where
he spent the afternoon in comparative
comfort. The night following il was
seen that he was suffering of pneu-
monia and Nose Houck and another
were up all night with him. After the
stage left on Tuesday morning he eX-
pressed desire to go to his relatives
in Phoenix, and Mr.. Houck sent him,
as comfortably as could be done. The
recital CT his death was correct. But
he was not drinking at all except light
wine or beer, the barkeeper at Houck's
saloon refusing to sell him or let any
one buy whiskey for him, and at his
own request he was kept on a moder-
ate use of wine or beer.
Mr.. Dugas had for some years been
in charge of the rich mining property
of Col bravo of the quarteermaster' s
department at Governors Island. New
York harbor. He had adjoining Col
Dravo's, two or more claims of his
