 The Review takes the letter of Col onel Wilson for what the writer evil denly means to convey, that he is not 10 beseonsidered in the running for Delegate to Congress this fall.
 There is something in the letter that savors of disappointment. It appears that the present Delegate to Congress has had all the politics that he thinks is coming 10 him, and really discour- ages the bright young minds in the Territory from taking up politics for a living. Hark to thisa a

DOUGLAS AND INCORPORATION.

Douglas is at present wrestling with the question of incorporation of that place, and judging from the tone of the local press it is very much live issue. There are several issues in volved, but the question was brought to a head 8 few days ago in an effort to remove or close several disreputa- ble dead falls in the Red Light dis trict.
 Incorporation at Douglas would Of fer several advantages that at present are a serious drawback. Douglas is laid out as Q city. and its population is sufficient to warrant city form of gov. ernment. There are questions of public improvement continually aris- ing which. for the best interests of the community. demand prompt and vigorous remedy. Without a city form of government these expenses are borne by very few, and the labor fl raising sufficient funds for any man ner of public improvement becomes al a-duous task.

Irrigation water is now ample for all purposes. ana the soil is generally well saturated. Cloudiness and humid air have added to the fa' vorabieness of the conditions by check. ing evaporation. As a result of the favorable conditions crops. where not killed by the previous drouth. have made decided improvement. This i'm
