AN ERA OF INDEPENDENCE

i Ample room is there on this North
American continent for the three in.
dependent republics of Canada, the
United States and Mexico; already they
find commercial intimacy possible with
entire political separateness. Time will
but bring them into closer touch, and
in their social and commercial near
ness they will illustrate the higher fed
eralism possible to nations living in
fraternal relations on a single CONT
tinental empire under one overlord.
The delusion of mere bigness'' dies
hard, but die it will. Across the At
lantic one sees signs of a movement
distinctly tionalistic-Norway sets
up for herself, and Hungary bides her
times to become wholly a distinct ma
ton. Here in the New World the
augury is good for the continued inde-
pendence of existing nations. We see
no indications of the coalescence of the
Latin-American countries. - Mexican
Herald.

One will be carrier to be known as carrier No 6 and his terri tory will be north of the postoffice. in cluding the Simms and Brill additions. Fred Hoover has been appointed to this position.

 MOHAVE'S DEVELOPME - Hon.Patsy F. Collins, of Mohave coun- ty, arrived in the city yesterday morn ing and spent the day visiting friends. He is enroute to the mining congress which shortly convenes at Fl Paso and to which meeting he is a delegate from Mohave. MT. Collins spent tn. greater part of the summer on the coast and his health, which was for a great part of the time poor, is now much improved. MohaVe county, he says, is destined to be one of thu greatest mining sections of the coub- try and every month new properties are being opened that show remarks.- ble deposits. MT. Collins also brought the good news that many visitors would visit Phoenix during the meet ing of the territorial fair. He himself will return by way of this city from Fl Paso and remain during the all important event.
 WHY THE TAX IS HIGHER-A good many property owners wonder when they come to pay their taxes why it takes more money this year than it did last. They had forgotten that the last legislature provided $15, coo for protection in this county against flood waters; that makes a difference of twelve cents in the rate. Then this county is one of the bene- ficiaries of the legislative act provid ing for manual training in the schools. That makes a further difference of six cents. More money was demanded this year for the schools than was paid last year, so that there is an increase of eight cents in that direction. Fi nally, on account of the storms of last winter more than average improve ment of the roads was required, and for this purpose the road tax rate was raised four cents. Of the thirty cents increase, eighteen came through legis- lative enactment.
