build her into commonwealth the
peer of the greatest in our country.
When our commercial Importance
equals our natural greatness we
shall lay down or quill and rest.
Till then we shall go on, by the
grace of the loyal citizens of the
Territory, telling of the sacrifices,
struggles, yea romances in the lives
of some Of those pioneers who have
careered their checkered courses
through the troublous times, the
dangerous periods and rough places
in Arizona's history. They are the
pathfnders and history-makers of
the great plateau section OF the
nation.
The vastness OF our natural re-
sources, the bracingness of our at
mosphere. the clearness of our sun
shine, the richness of our mines,
the hospitableness of our people,
the progress of our educational in
stitutions, the patriotism of our
inhabitants, the trueness OF our
friendship, and the wisdom OF our
statesmen, are the themes on which
we shall write till our mission is
fulfilled.
With honesty, and fearlessness
of purpose, we go on with our task
of keeping Central Arizona before
the public. Will our friends rally
to our aid. Every name on our
mailing list means more advertis'
ing for the section. Our present
subscribers could we'll afford to
help US out by asking their friends
to subscribe for the paper, and it
would not be a heavy burden for
many of them to send the paper to
a few friends during the year. This
would be as good as carrying out
the suggestion of writing letter
each day for year or of ten letters
a day for the thirty days wasted.
Friends, will you not make the
coming year banner one for the
great Central Arizona Mining Belt? ?
Let the outside world know what
you have and you will find a mar
ket for it. You can not do q bet
ter thing than to send away few
subscriptions to the paper to your
friends east Or west, north or south.
Will you not help us to place
the News Herald on such stand
ard as to increase it's power and in
huence? No ins stitution can WELD
influence of much value without
liberal patronage. 1t is q part of
the duty of good citizens to push
forward their own section. Let us
all fill the new year with a record
of duty we'll performed

BIRTHDAY GREETING

This issue or the NeWS-EefalQ
marks the beginning of u new vol
urne. For the past eight mopthE
the present management of the
paper has labored to give the peo-
pie of this rich mining section
good local paper. We have been
glad to receive the encouragement
OF our friends and the friends of
the community as shown by their
patronage. Our thanks are due
and are hereby rendered to each
and every one who has loaned his
support to us. While this support
has been liberal in many instances,
yet there are others in which it has
been very meager. But, whether
the support has been great or small,
it has been cheerful and with the
feeling that the paper is doing a
good work for the community.
Hence it matters not whether the
support be big or little which we
have received, it has been gratefully
received.
This is the beginning of the new
calendar year, as well as the Begin
ing of our new volume. Assess
ment work on mining claims is
now about done. The people of
the section who are not actively
developing their mines on exten-
sive scales will find time for the
next year to undertake new enter
prises. The progress of every COM
munity or section of the country
depends in great measure on the
activity of it's inhabitants in inter-
esting new capital in its resources.
If one half the wasted time of the
country was used in advertising its
merits and opportunities vast
difference would soon be noticeable.
There are few men who do not
waste several days each year. We
think we should be considered con-
servative if We say that men aver
age losing a month a man each
year, Now suppose that all that
wasted time were put in trying to
attract the attention of the people
of other States to this section OF
the country. Within q radius of
thirty-five miles of Martinez there
is population of close to 50OOI
people. And in view of the fact
that a great deal of this population
is laboring men without families,
there are at least one-half that
number of adults. If each of these
2500 grown up people would write
ten letters a day to people they
know in other sections of the coun-
try, for a period of month, that
would mean a total of 100000 let
ters. And if these letters were
sent to the friends of the people
here, they would have weight, and
would in three years result in the
doubling of our population and
perhaps more. The postage on
these 300 letters would amonnt to
$500 year for each person, less
than 2 cents a day. This would |
be no great burden to any one, and |
would result in the Improvement of |
the business Of the community to
such an extent that all would be
benefited.
Shall we start the new year right
and begin our good work =? Let US
all consider that all the rest of
mankind have the right to live,
and that we should all be willing
to help along any cause that is be-
ing carried on in the interest of
progress and honesty.
This paper hopes to bring men
and money to Arizona to develop
our untold resources, and to help

FORGOT HIS WHEEL
In His Haste to Get to Phoenix. An
 Officer Kept 1t Until His Return.

Mention was made yesterday regard ing the arrest of Orlando Douglas for disturbance of the peace. When he found out there was a warrant issued for him he made haste to get tc PhOe- nix and in order to avoid detection. he walked the bridge and got on the train there. For the same eason he got off at the park while the train was yet in motion and the fall he got came near leaving him there.
 When he got to Phoenix he discovered that In his haste he had forgotten his wheel and the only way he could get it again was to return to Tempe. This he did, and Officer Sigala captured him. He stood trial and the wheel is in court as a guarantee of the intention of the offender to pay his fine. There was nothing serious about the matter and Douglas regards the whole affa r as a rather good joke on himself.

CUsA's PROMISING FUTURE.

The Cuban government should feel well satisfied over its success in nego- tiating a $35, 900, 900 loan at 90 cents on the dollar in these times. The war disturbance has not improved the mar ket for such a loan. But the relations Cuba holds with the United States give it a stability which assured the sue cess of such an undertaking.
 The United States naval stations in Cuba and the recipro city treaty have greatly helped the island government There is a great deal of American money invested ,on the island, and the amount is increasing all the time. The only thing Necessary to assure Cuba all the capital required for it's develop ment is a certainty of continued good government and freedom from revolu- tions.
 The completion of the railway to Santiago will make 1t difficult for a revolution to gain any headway. The education of the children, which is be- ing carried on more extensively than in other so-called Spanish-American re- publics, will tend to check the attempts at revolution. Prosperity, which is as- sured by the reciprocity treaty, will leave no cause for internal dissensions. Altogether Cuba's future seems as- sured, largely because of its close re- lations with the United States.
 It, was very fortunate for the island that it secured such an able and fair minded man as Mir Palma for presi- dent. Before the time arrives for the

THE SOLAR MOTOR.
One in Course of Erection as an Ex-
 pertinent South of Town.

The Solar Motor company, of Boston. now has a force of men under the charge of J. M. Bruns engaged in the construction of a solar motor at the wells near the racetrack, one mile south and a. quarter of a mile west of town. This is the same company and MT. Bruns is the same man that had charge of the one that was put up on the Chandler ranch near Mesa some time ago. This one, however, met with an accident and was never given a fair trial to prove its worth in the Salt River valley. These same machines have given satisfaction elsewhere and as there is no place where the sun shines with greater regularity than here, there seems to be no reason why it should not be a decided success.
 The location was chosen on account of the fact that there is am excellent well here that was sunk for the pur- pose of supplying the Bartlett-Heard ranch with water, but for some reason or other the project was abandoned be- fore more than one well was completed. It is. therefore, a first class place for tse motor, as it will furnish a good test of the practicability of it when finished.

 Though it is very large, the whole affair is extremely simple. It consists of a short front support and a high rear support. Between these two sup ports the reflector is suspended on piv- ots in such T manner that it can be turned up or down and sideways, this, of course, being necessary in order that it may follow the sun and thus be in it's direct rays all the time.
 The reflector is composed of many sections of glass, similar in nature to ordinary looking glass. These are put

A C0LLAPSING SCAFFOLD
A Chicago Workwan Killed in the
 Post Office Building.

Chicago, ,Feb.26.-One man was killed, another probably fatally injured and a score of other workmen were barely saved from being crushed beneath a large scaffold, which collapsed this af- ternoon in the center of the new post office building. The scaffold was built from the main floor of the building. directly beneath its dome to the tenth floor, a distance of 161 feet. Thirty five men were working about the dome at the time of the accident and for a time it was thought nearly half this number had been killed by falling timber, but all escaped with the ex- ception of two plasterers, James By ron and Barney Mcbride, who were standing on the portion of the scaffold which collapsed.
 Byron. who was working in the cen- ter of the scaffold when it gave way fell to the main floor of the building and was instantly killed.
 Mcbride, who was working with By ron, also fell with the scaffolding, but he caught one of the floors as he fel and thus saved his life although h, was severely injured.

ELI HORN.

Eli Horn, the armless school teacher. of Talladega county, is a shining ex- ample of perseverance,. When, after an explosion in which he lost both arms Horn appeared to have also lost his livelihood, owing to the hidebound rule' of the state department of education prohibiting assistance being given a teacher during an examination, regret was expressed by the Register that a teacher who had evidently won the good will of his community and the encomiums of the department should suffer such a check in his career. Since that time MT. Horn has found artificial means of supplying the defect in the loss of his hands, and has earned an- other certificate after personally writ ing the answers to the questions con- tained in the legal examination.-Mo- bile Register
