LUTHER GREEN ON WILD GOOSE CHASE.

Over in Graham county the Board of Supervisors have appointed Luther Green as commissioner to have charge of the exhibit of that county at the territorial fair. It seems, however, that when MT. Green accepted the ap- pointment he was laboring under the delusive impression that he was to set his expenses out of the territorial fa.s board. It is strange that MT. Green could live m Arizona so long and know so little of Phoenix as to expect that anybody in any other county than Maricopa could get money for any purpose after it passed once into the hands of those who inhabit and live in the shadow of the capitol building in Phoenix.
 It is true that the last legislature appropriated S1O,000 for the promotion of territorial fair, but the legislature had not been adjourned before the Phoenecians had organized fair asso- ciation and absorbed the money, and now it will not be possible for Ora ham or any other county than Marico- pa to get a single kopec of that ten thou. to assist in an exhibit at the fair If Commissioner Green, of Graham county, or any other commissioner from any other county in the territory need funds they will have to pass the hat among the miners of their respec- tive counties. This will be in accord ance with the policy of Car Kibbey, who has marked the miners as the es- pecial prey of all other industries of the territory.
 We are surprised at Luther Green. of Graham, who ought to have known better than to expect to get his fin gers on any of that territorial fair ap- propriaton; that little sum was one of the regular biennial Jokers slipped through by the Phoenix alfalfa eaters.
