THE POST OFFICES
 OF THIS TERRITORY
Comparison of Them With Those of
 New Mexico.

The annual report of the auditor for the post-office department has just been issued, showing a resume of the business of the respective post-offices throughout the country for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1905. A compar- ison of the figures, showing the busi- ness of the third-clas offices in Ari- zona with figures for the same class of offices during the preceding year shows that the gain in general postal receipts made by Arizona during the year ending June 30, 1905, was $9.972, the total business of the third class offices during the last year being $176,S27.
 A similar inspection of New Mexi- cc's third-class returns shows d much smaller total business, though the population Of the territory is approxi- mately three times that of Arizona. The total receipts of New MeXico's third class offices were $125,714. But her gain in business during the year was within $500 of as much as Arizo- mas gain and amounted to s9,744. Dur ing the year the office at Springer, N. NJ, dropped out of the third class, and

SECRF EARY OF INFERIOR
 REFERS 10 CONGRESS
Recommendation of Governor Kib.
 bey With Regard to Statehood.

The report of the secretary of the interior to congress has been made public The part of the report relat- of the report of Governor Klbbey. from which the following in relation to statehood is quoted:
 "The solution of the situation is easy, in consonance with every princi- pie of justice. If Arizona possesses the qualities necessary to the estab lishment and maintenance of a state government she should be admitted. If she does not, then sine should not be admitted and her right should be held in abeyance until she does ac- quire them; and the question ought not to be determined by the question other territories, or any of them, any more than in 1850 the admission of California should have been made to depend upon the organization of the territories of New Mexico and Utah. If, again, it seems to congress that the welfare of the nation would be better promoted by the jointure of New Mex ico and Arizona, and the creation of one state out of the two territories, the simplest and the only just plan is to provide for procuring the assent of the two peoples, if they in fact do assent If either dissents, no interest of the nation will be jeopardized.
 Arizona would be inhabited by statehood, and want it earnestly and
Arizona republican., 1905-12-10

strive for it zealously. If they did not want it, then Arizona would not make a good state for the Union. But they want statehood for that common wealth which they have built up, in which their hopes are bound. They want it as their reward for their con- quest of the desert, their searching of the mountains and disclosing the fab ulous wealth of her mines. They want it for the protection and for the fos- tering of all her varied industries. As all their hopes, their ambition, and their pride are bound up in that state, they insist that they should be its de- signer and it's builder.
 "The people of Arizona have had to contend and must yet contend against peculiar difficulties. To the denzen of the older states the conditions are an omalous. Climate and climatic condi- tions are so radically different from those found in almost every other part of the Union that different methods of warfare must be adopted In the at tempted conquest of the desert
 "Whatever of glory may be in the final conquest, whatever of happiness it may bring to her people, should by right belong to them. The notion of Greater Arizona with the elimination of Arizona does not appeal to her peo- pie. For years Arizona has asked to be admitted to the Union, and will continue to ask. And she does not be- lieve that a just nation will exercise a power to punish her for her temerity in asking for :ler own"
 Commenting on the subject, Secre- tary Hitchcock says
 "The question of the admission oi the territory, either independently as state or coupled with the territory of New Mexico, is one wholly within the. Jurisdiction of congress, and this de-i partment can do no more than direct your attention to the views of the gov, ernor in the premises

the office at Benson, Ariz., crept into the third class.
 Of the Arizona offices, Tucson had the largest total increase in receipts; Globe was the next in order; then Douglas, and Phoenix fourth in total amount of increase. The largest ratio of increase was Globe, of whose $S,- 394 receipts $2,173 was increase during the year. It is noticed, too, that there was a difference of only $19 between the receipts of the Phoenix and the Albuquerque post-offices during the year.

A Subscriber for Nearly Fifty
Years.

Probably the oldest subscriber
of the CITIZEN in point of con-
tinued service is DR.. Henry NJ.
Petit, now of CarrolltOn, Mis-
souri,, who has been upon its
books since 1855.
DR.. Petit was born in Cum Der
land, Maryland. At that time
his father, who was civil engi-
neer. was engaged in building
the National Road, but after the
death of her husband Mrs. Petit
came to Frederick to live with
her mother. the late Mrs. William
NJ. Beall, who had been left
widow the same week. Thus the
subject of this sketch became one
of the Frederick boys and re-
ceived his education in the old
Frederick College
In 1855 he went to Philadelphia
to study pharmacy lin which pro-
fession he has been almost con
tinuOusly engaged), also studying
medicine at his leisure. and which
he finished at Richmond, Vir
ginia. He was Hospital Steward
in the Confederate Army station
ed at Hammond Grove Hospital.
AT the close of the war he was on
duty as Acting Assistant Surgeon
at Pettigrew Hospital, Raleigh.
North Carolina, and was one of
the last Confederate officers in
the service, having with one
other determined to remain in the
army as long as there were any
Southern soldiers to attend.
In 1868 on account of his health
he went to Missouri and tried
farming in Carroll County for
while. Here he found health
but no money, and not liking the
practice of medicine returned to
his first profession in a labora-
tory in LeavenwOrth, and later
in junction City, Kansas, and in
1876 went to Carrullton, Missouri,
where he has been in business
ever since.
DR.. Petit when in this city
stops with his sister, Mrs. Belle
Matthews, Second street, where
he is always home to his many
friends.

Catoctin and Pen Mar Electric
Railroad Project.

A meeting was held in VOLTS
Vile on Wednesday evening in
the interest of the proposed cleo
trio line from WOlfsville to High
field and then on to Pen Mar a
total distance of 81 miles.
AS the road, if built, will be of
value to the Wabash Railroad as
a feeder of the Western Maryland,
now owned by the Wabash, a
committee was appointed to con
fer with the Wabash officials and
solicit aid for the enterprise. 1t
is understood that the Wabash
officials are disposed to give sub
stantial help toward the construc-
ton of the road.
The route has been surveyed
and it is stated that the road can
be built with no grade in excess
of per cent.
Nearly the entirt right of way
has been offered free of charge by
owners of the land along the
route. and there have been liberal
offers of subscriptions to the stock
of the company.

Since more boys than girls are born
In the countries of western Europe, the
proportion being 1,040 to 1850 boys to
every 1000 girls. how can we account
for the fact that there are more women
than men in these countries? To this
question NJ. de Varigny, French sci
enlist, replies at length in leading
Paris paper "Since there are more
women, although more men are born"
he says, I'VE must conclude that more
men die than women because they are
not as healthy. There is no other so
luton, and moreover, all the obtaina-
BILE facts point in the same direction.
More boys are born than girls, yet
there are almost always more girls
alive than boys. Many persons think
that the principal reason why more
men die than women is because they
lead Incorporate lives; but, though
there may be some truth in this. it can
not be the sole solution of the prob
lem, as the mortality among males Is
greatest during their Early year, be-
fore they know wha> Ilce or intemper-
ance means"
