 SlOnary.

The Los Angeles Times an- nounces that it will issue, in ac- cordance with its custom, spec ial Mid-winter number on January Ist, next. The edition will be bigger and handsomer than ever before, containing more than I6o pages, in magazine form,, profuse- ly illustrated. All the descriptive matter is from the pens of experts and the sheets are sure to contain vast fund of authentic matter about Southern California.
 The Times, in issuing these numbers, certainly spares no ex- pense in truthfully showing what great and glorious country it is in which we dwell. No single medium can accomplish more for the good of the land than by dis seminating broadcast over the country splendid newspaper pub lications, such as the Times all ways produces. Citizens of the southwest can aid in the good work by sending copies of the forthcoming paper to friends and acquaintances at distance who are hungry for some information about Los Angeles and Southern California. The price announced is. ten cents per copy.

 wholly due, as we have shown, to acts of the federal government, the people of Coconino county feel that in simple justice some provi- sion should be made by congress to alleviate the situation. At least it would seem that an appropri- ation should be made for the pur- pose of paying off the bond C d indebtedness of the county. Even should that relief be granted, the future contains promise of little if any more than a protracted strug- gle against insolvency. And this is not in any sense an appeal for charity; it is a plea for equity, and 1t is made upon the theory that congress should at least be willing to provide for a part of the ex- pense consequent upon its legiila- ton in behalf of the pubic at large. It cannot be right that an i'm poveris h d Arizona county should be required to provide the ways and means of carrying out federal legislation designed to ben eft nonresident citizens, or the nation at large.
 10. It will be conceded that the situation oI the county is serious enough under the present status of Arizona as a territory. But should the measure now pending before congress looking toward the admis- sion of Arizona and New Mexico as one state become a law, tax ation must be increased to meet the changed conditions and larger eXpens of state government. Unless the statehood bill sh al l carry some such relief as we have suggested, the passage of tn at measure will prove to be to this county almost the last straw" lacking even the poor hope that a straw is said to afford drowning man.
 The people of Coconino county therefore earnestly request tha t you, as their representative in con- gress, employ every honorable means to secure an appropriation for our relief of at least such sum as will pay off our bonded indebt- edness, and particularly that the statehood bill shall carry such pro- vision.
