An Able and Concise State Document, in Which Public Questions Are Re-
 viewed and Discussed.

cause more than one state pursues the policy of creating on easy terms cor. porations which are never operated within that state at all, but in other states whose laws they ignore. The national government alone can deal adequately with these great corpora. tions.
 On the question of forest reserves he says:
 Although the wisdom of creating forest reserves is nearly everywhere heartily recognized, yet in a few local ities there has been misunderstanding and complaint. The following state ment is therefore desirable:
 The forest reserve policy can be successful only when it has the full support of the people of the west. It can not safely, and should not in any case be imposed upon them against their will. But neither can we accept the views of those whose only interest in the forest is temporary; who are anxious to reap what they have not sown and then move away, leaving desolation behind them. On the con- trary, it is everywhere and always the interest of the permanent settler and the permanent business man, the man with a stake in the country, which must be considered and which must decide.
 In connection with the work of the forest reserves 1 desire again to urge upon the congress the importance of authorizing the president to set aside certain portions of these reserves or other public lands as game refuges for the preservation of the bison, the wapiti, and other large beasts once so abundant in our woods and mountains and on our great plains, and now tending toward extinction.
 Pen sions, Indians, urges economy in public printing, favors a national quarantine law, the encouragement of our merchant marine, recommends re- vision of naturalization laws, recon mends law directed against bribery and corruption in federal elections, liberal laws for the Hawaiians and Porto Ricans, favors a second Hague conference, a continuance of upbuild- ing the American navy, and on the tariff question promises to communi- cate later.

In order that the country people
 may participate in the pig fire sale
 now beiLg conducted by the New York store this enterpTising house has ar
 ranged to run excursion trains into
 Prescott over the Prescott & Eastern
 railroad next Monday morning, De- cember 12th. The first section of this excursion will leave Mayer at S:15 a.
 m. arriving in Prescott at 9:45. The second section will leave Poland at
 II :05 a. m. and arrive in Prescott at 1 50 D. m. Tickets will be one fare for the round trip and are good re-
 turning on all regular trains until
 Wednesday, Dec. 14th. This gives shoppers two full days in which to make purchases and as this big sale comes at time when people are figur- ing on how to make one dollar do ser vice for two in the purchase of holi- day presents, a great opportunity is afforded to buy big lot of goods for little money. The big sale now on at the New York store and the remark able values to be had in all depart ments of this mammoth stock are the result of a fire which threatened the destruction of the store some days since, full account of which was given in the Journal l-Miner. The Prescott
 fire fighters did such splendid ana heroic work on this blaze that they hot only saved the main stock and the big Bank of Arizona building, but really prevented much loss except from smoke and water. The insurance companies quickly and cbeerfully set tied theIloss and MT. Blumberg pro- prietor of the New York store at once to dispose of the entire stock before buying any new goods.
 This was no doubt a wise conclu- sion, as it has been the especial pride of this store to carry only high grade goods, carefully purchased at first hands and they could not afford to have any erroneous opinion, in regard | to the character of their stock, find place in the minds of their custom CTS.
 Mir. Blumberg has lived here for good many years, has built up very | large business, owns a fine home and | expects to spend the remainder of his life in this city. Furthermore, he ex-

The business of the United States court was all cleared up for the term and the trial jury was discharged.
 The first case called was that against S. c. Miller and his attorneys entered a plea of guilty for him and waived time and sentenced to pay fine ofS50. The charge against him was a misde- meanor, cutting wood on government land.
 Holbert, the man whose bond was ordered forfeited, and for whom a de- putty sheriff was sent to Quartsite was represented by his attorneys when his case was called, and it being a misde- meanor case they were permitted to enter plea of guilty for him, and he was sentenced to pay a fine of $50 and a term of one day in jail. It was fur ther ordered that the order declaring his bond forfeited should be set aside on the completion of his sentence.
 In the case of the United States against Lyman and Guy Bennett, the case was dismissed as to the latter and judgment rendered against Lyman Bennett. The charge was illegal fene- ing of public lands and defendant was allowed thirty days to remove the faDoe

was not the ordinary advance man,
 but was here to secure information as to ways and means of corraling some of the camels which the government imported from Arabia and turned loose here good many years ago. George Scholefield sold him a horse and ke left for the Bayless ranch with the ir- tention of outfitting there in the line of both men and animals and pursuing his quest. There is a good deal Of doubt expressed as to whether tEe average horse could catch a camel oa reasonably level ground and the ques- tion also arose as to whether he could legally take the animals even by offer iEg to pay for them.''
 For the benefit of those who do net recognize the identity of the man, 1t may be said that he was formerly a forest ranger under Forest Supervisor F. R. Stewart, his district being ii the Bradshaw mountains. He was also proprietor of the Mountiaineer hotel at Grown King for brief period. MT.

be given his liberty under a nominal
 bond. On the other hand, Mir. Storm has been the idol of democracy in Ya- vapai and was entrusted with the sacr ed duty of protecting the financial welfare of all people thereof, and that he has failed to do so is palpably an evident fact. Therefore, under the circumstances prevailing between the two men, the raising of a bond of S100, 900 for Storm would have been as just and as equitable as the placing of 1000 bond on Averill.
 The grand jury that investigated the treasury matter has been proven to be an unprejudiced and unbiased body, and their investigation of the case was conducted on these lines solely.
 The above paper has a motive. It is to throw even handed justice aside, and it would in its coarse and under handed methods have the public dis sipate any belief but it's own in the tace of the notorious fact that Jim Storm has practically admitted that he is guilty.
 Judge Sloan has been attacked once before on vital questions coming be- fore him in his decisions from the bench, and if the Herald would like to know the outcome of a newspaper controversy with this fair man, we re- fer him to the criminal record of the Yuma penitentiary for more definite information on pinhead assertions from the crafty fraternity.

TO THROTTLE THE
 ENDS OF JUSTICE

Averill, charged with murder, is placed under bond of B, GOO, while Storm who never harmed hair in a mans head, is placed under bond of S10,000. Verify, life is valued accord ing to a much lower standard than money. There was time it was worth more than 8, COG. Herald.
 The journalistic parasite again is wheezing. The above rot is but in keeping with the scurrilous tactics that that sheet has adopted ever since the Storm robbery disgraced the fair name of this county. It would now endeavor to impugn the motives of as just and fair man as has ever graced the bench of Arizona, and on the other hand it sneakingly and cowardly at tempts to mould public opinion in favor of a man who stands openly con- victed of crime without parallel in the history of this territory. From the beginning of this treasury question up to the present time, the Herald has publicly branded true citizenship of Yavapai county as at a discount, and in its fulsome and idiotic defense of a man who is guilty until proven inno- cent, it resorts to the cowardiy avenue of throwing its columns into a biased avenue and would assail the integrity of judge to carry its polluted belief to a station that is unwarranted and unjustifable. The question of the bail above referred to is untenable. Averill is poor man, a common every day miner, and it is an open question in view of the fact that the jury that tried him for murder disagreed for thirty six hours, and refused Ito con- vict him, whether he is guilty or not. In view of this circumstance he should

A REMARKABLE
ACHIEVEMENT

The arrival at Honolulu of the -Asiat-
ic Squadron on Dec. Is from Yokoha-
ma must be ranked as a remarkable
achievement. The orders under which
Admiral Evans was directed to proceed
to Honolulu contemplated the arrival
of the various vessels of the fleet on
the fifteenth or sixteenth of the pres
ent month! and, Notwithstanding the
distance. some 3,700 knots, and the
vicissitudes of the sea, these seven
warships reached Honolulu almost ex-
actly according to the program laid out
by the Navy Department. The per-
fora ance of the battleships Kentucky.
Oregon and Wisconsin is said to have
been without parallel in naval expert
ence the distance covered having been
exceeded by few vessels of any consid-
cradle displacement in our Navy or in
that of any other nation.-Arny and

STREET TREES.
tine Official and Commercial Record.


We hope the new Road Supervisor,
Mr.. H. c. Vida, will not let the Wal
kiki road tree proposition drop out of
sight
That driveway is now eighty feet
wide, giving ample room for line of
trees down the center of the street.
This position seems advisable by rea-
son of the fact that there are electric
and telephone wires on both sides of
the street, and if trees are planted at
the sides, just as they arrive at an age
when they will begin to be beautiful,
along will come a lot of licensed van
dals who will hack and mutilate them
into scrawny and unsightly stumps
A center row of trees is frequent and
beautiful method of road ornamental
ton practiced in both Europe and the
United States.
A row of Poinciana Regias, set well
apart, alternating with Royal Palms,
extending from King street to Kapio-
lani Park, would make sight that
would become world-famous. Both of
the trees in question grow we'll in shat
locality, and both are tropical in APP
pearance. The latter point IS most
vital, as what is needed here, from an
ornamental standpoint, is vegetation
of a typical southern character-some-
thing that is new to people of the
North.
Not in the whole city of Honolulu
has there ever been any systematic
street tree planting.
Many Road Supervisors have come
and gone in Honolulu. Some have
been good and some bad, but it re-
mains for the future TO develop Road
Supervisor who will perpetuate his
memory for generations by creating a
street tree system.
Mr. Vida has rare opportunity.
