L.auds Arizona

Col. Lee Orandall has been telling the Washington Post d lot of good things about Arizona and said when he migrated to the territory it was the best move he ever made.
 'l only wish l had arrived there twenty years ago instead of ten, D said Colonel Crandall, flor there ism | the isligheSt shade of doubt that in a few more years Arizona is going to be one of the richest states in the Union. It's mineral resources are enormous and they are as yet in the first stages of development. The stories of the fortunes that are being taken out of the new mining camps in tn C territory are not fictitious and new crop of Arizona. made milliouaires will shortly join the ranks of plu. tocracy.
 "All we need now is for congress to give us independent and separate statehood, and this we ask, not as a boon, but as an act of justice. It would have been a gigantic blunder had the bill passed congress last win ter making one state out of Arizona and New Mexico. Rather than. this let us remain territory indefinitely ?

THE FOREST SERVICE
Increased Pay Proposed. What Is
 Required of Forest Rangers

There is a marked improvement in the methods of the forest service over the old system, including an increase of pay for reliable and competent men.
 When the service has been fully re- organized the titles and pay of em' ployes will be as follows
 Foiest supervisor, .slSO0 to $2500 per year.
 Deputy forest supervisor, $500 to $l70O per year.
 Forest ranger, $l2oo to s14OO per year.
 Deputy forest ranger, 5000 to $llOO per year.
 Assistant forest ranger, $500 to $500 per year.
 Forest rangers now receive from s72O to $l0S0 year, or s6O to $9o per month.
 The United States civil service com. mission will soon hold examinations for the position of forest ranger at one or more points in the territory; due notice will be given of the place and date later. Many additional rangers will be required for the new forest re- serve soon to be established and for numerous vacancies now existing on reserves.
 The examinations will be along prac- tical lines, intended to bring out the training, experience and general qual- ifications of applicants. The chief object in view is to obtain men thor oughly fitted for the work in hand, and especially men familiar with the general condition of the locality in which they seek to be employed. Sue cess in these examinations will depend very much more on the applicants ability to do the ordinary work of a forest ranger, and do it well, than upon any theoretical knowledge he may have obtained. No man of good character and ability, and a sound body, who has had actual experience in the timber or on the range of the west need hesitate to try the examin- ation.
 In order that those men best fitted for the work may be present and con- pete it is extremely desirable that wide publicity be given to the coming examination.
 The law now provides that forest rangers must be chosen, when practic- able, from residents of the state or territory in which the forest reserve on which they seek employment is To- cated.
 What is desired are good sound able bodied men, capable of enduring hard ships and performing severe labor un. der trying conditions. from 2l to A years of age. Invalids seeking light, out-of-door employment need not ap- ply.
 Applications for examination should be made to the United States civil service commission, Washington, D. O. Further information concerning same may be secured from F.S. Breen, forest supervisor, Flagstaff, Arizona.

Jury Law Changed

In the matter of calling another grand jury to investigate some new cases coming up since the regular grand jury was discharged, it devel oped that this could not be done as formerly, by simple order of the court for another venire. The late legislature changed the law in this re. gard, making it necessary for a ten days notice to be given, and jurors to be drawn in the same manner as the regular panel.-Yuma Sentinel.

ject abandoned. The manager of the ship says he has to give up the pier and therefore cannot continue the en- terprise, which, however, has been wholly successful as far as conditions on the ship are concerned. He says nothing about the financial results, but a natural inference is that the scheme hasn't paid. The price for board was very low. The girls are disconsolate at losing such home, es- pecially as the season of summer heat and cool sea breezes is near at hand.
 The mammoth steamship D Minnesota of the Great Northern cOmpanyS fleet has recently broken all trans Pacific records, making voyage from YokO- hama to Seattle in thirteen days, ,twen- ty-one hours and i've minutes. That gives some idea of the size of the Pa citic in comparison with the Atlantic, for which the record is about one half of the newly established best time for crossing the Pacific. From Boston to Liverpool is 2S2O miles, while from San Francisco to Yokohama is 4564. There are, however, no ships on the Pacific to compare in speed with those Ope- rated in the express service acrC ss the Atlantic ocean.
