Flagstaff. Past and Present.

In the yestertime of some eight cen years the writer, while sojourn- ing through the original home of the jack rabbit and kindred quadru- peds, had the privilege of stepping off the train at Flagstaff, then a municipal child in swaddling clothes. The impression upon the minute brain of the scribe was any thing but favorable, in so far as the makeup of the city was concerned. True, the gentry were hospitable and demonstrated their hospitality in ways that would make the Bill Nye Chinaman look more "pecu- liar" But with all that the scribe spent pleasant week in the viii lage. The Cliff Dwellers" were dwelling, the man with the ax was hewing yet the place was in its infancy from an industrial stand point.
 Fancy the surprise os the writer when he arrived some few days ago and noted the radical change. brick houses have been erected, the wheels of progress are ever ir motion, the days of the "hair oil Pete" are a thing of the past, schools and churches have been erected, municipal government instituted, industry has become in dustrial, every business is fairy represented and the child of yestcr day has become a stalwart athlete
 Flagstaff has future. This fact cannot be denied. Men of brains are drifting Flagstaffward, and they are being well compensated for their labor. It would require the brain of a Jules Verne to DOT tray the future of the city, since it is a fact the folks of the place love, laugh and labor.

If the thousands of dollars which have been sent out of Prescott, says the Courier, in years past to pay for comparatively worthless write-ups in foreign papers had been used in assisting a struggling home press, a thousandfold more benefit would have been derived. This is an ab- solute fact. People abroad look to a home press for the information about any section of country. A blind badger is wise enough to know this.
