TRIBUTE FROM A FRIEND

To the memory of Engineer H. M. Seagondollar:
 "The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee; but the Lord shall be unto thee an everlasting light and thy God thy glory"- Isaiah 6O:19.
 Yes, dear brother, you have been honored with that knowledge of eternal love that gives to His chil- dren the unfading light. Seems to me 1 can see you walking in that land where no darkness comes and where peace and love alone are felt, where the waters are never chilly, and where the fruits and flowers never decay nor fade; but you would like to speak out to the dear ones left behind; you would like to tell them how perfectly happy you are, and ask them why they will not seek out and live sthe beautiful truths of this life; why they will not turn to the Father now and trust Him in all things, and realize that now is the day of salvation that all can live happy on earth; that health, happiness and pros perity are ours now for the claim ing; that God is indeed love; that when we love all and hate none we have brought heaven to earth; that we have fulfilled the law, and not subject to it's punishments. But it seems to me that you are lowering closest to the man who is suffering most from the seeming sacrifice you were called upon to make-the man whom the world condemns for the wreck in which you gave up the body; you would like to talk to him and tell him that God has honored him, also, in giving him a useful lesson; that you do not condemn him, but give him both love and sympathy; that he should not con. demn himself nor dispair of future success in this life, but that the les son he was given should point out to him that beautiful road wherein no sun or moon is needed to light us on our way; that if it only serves to turn him to the Father, that you will gladly join the millions oi angel voices in the heavenly choil in songs of praise and thanksgiving to God for the sacrifice of the body
 We all loved you, Doc" and vii miss your smiling face from oul midst; but still we rejoice in youl new found glory, and repeat witt loving faith, Thy will, oh, God and not ours, be done."

The Grand Canyon of Arizona

The Grand Canyon of Arizona There is but one Grand Canyon in the world
 Sublime, magnificent, wonderful, Which the sea in-its might up hurled,
 A great chasm, deep and awful. Painted in gorgeous colors by nature, No man on earth can describe; A tremendous, appalling Assure. Out of which great mountains rise. And wonderful formations to behold Castles, temples, domes, towers, Of surpassing beauty that cannot be told,
 Painted in colors of all the flowers. The Colorado river runs through this chasm-
 Wild, danger ous, and of great size, Which looks from above like an atom That you see in wonder and sur
 prise. A world in itself lying at your feet, Some heights and depths too great
 for man to tread; Its awe-inspiring grandeur makes one weep,
 In this wild country God made
 his masterpiece.

THE DEBTS OF THE
 TWO TERRITORIES

NA aSL ido OSSh oiN' spoken in connection with the state hood debate of the comparative in debtedness of Arizona and New Mexico. The joint statehood papers of the latter territory have indefi- nitely pointed to the fact that thei, territorial indebtedness is some- what less than ours, and they have declined to be drawn into a discus sion of their county indebtedness at all. Two Arizona papers per sistently set forth that our indebt edness is much greater than that of New Mexico.
 The Republican has hitherto not regarded this matter as of the most immediate importance, there being so many more weighty reasons why there should be no jointure of the two territories. However, we will now present the indebtedness of the territories. The figures are not only from an authoritative source, but they are the latest obtaina ble. They are taken from "The Commercial and Financial Chronicle" of New York for May.
 The territorial indebtedness of Arizona is $3, ,a71, from which is to be deducted $2,O75. .OOO. the funded indebtedness of counties, municipalities and school districts This separation of the debt of Ari- zona is made only for purposes oi comparison with the debt of New Mexico, which is in a different shape, no part of the county in. debtedness having been funded.
 The debt of New Mexico by towns. school districts and counties is as follows: Albuquerque, $116, GOO; Las Vegas, $67, ,OOO; Roswell $39 300; Santa Fe school district $2S,OOO; Bernalillo county, 1862, 600; Chavez, 5000; Colfax, $79, GOO; Grant. $22S,OOO; Guadalupe $35,00O; Mora, $9O,OOO; Otero 57,OOO; San Miguel, $46S.OOO Santa Fe, 1,151 ,OOO; Sierra, $55.. GOO; Socorro, 700; Taos, $50, GOO; Valencia .$97 300. Total, $3, 176,5OO.
 It is noticeable that the indebt edness of many of the counties is g high per cent of the total valuation In most of the counties it is not less than 10 per cent. In Santa Fe county it reaches the astounding height of 66s per cent. There the indebtedness is $1.115, ,OOO; the val. uation $1,75O,OOO.
 To the county indebtedness o New Mexico is to be added the ter. ritorial indebtedness which has beer kept so prominently before us o $S53,OOO, leaving a grand total o $4,O29,OOO, as against the $3.115, GOO of Arizona. From the indebt. edness of New Mexico there is te be deducted sinking fund of abou $SOOOO, and from the debt of Ari zona there is to be deducted a casf balance in the treasury of about tn, same amount. 1bus the indebted ness of New Mexico by this show ing exceeds that of Arizona b, about $S0O.OOO.

DuI IillS IS loV bCdiIN dil. hOiV are two other classes of New Mexico indebtedness of which the Commer- cial and Financial Chronicle could take no cognizance, and to which the joint statehood papers have made vaguest possible allusion.
 One of these classes is made up of the railroad bonds of several of the counties. said to aggregate about $9OO,OOO. The other class consists of the SO called militia warrants" issued in an unknown amount. Conjectures have reached IS high as $3,OOO.OOO, and recently a New Mexican paper admitted as 4 matter of no consequence that militia warrants had been issued to the amount of something more than one million dollars.
 There seems to be no way of as certaining even approximately the amount of this indebtedness, but if joint statehood should prevail the amount would be known to a cent by the time of the sitting of the first legislature.
 The joint statehood papers have met reference to these railroad bonds and militia warrants with the assurance that they are invalid and dead and that the statehood bill could not breathe life into them. We know as a fact that men who are not ignorant of the law think otherwise, since last fall when the passage of the Hamilton bill seemed probable. the traffic in these old knocked out bonds became act i've and the holders of them were identified as among the most earn est advocates of jointure.
 It is stated that there was at the same time as overwhelming of an cient and dusty records in search for those long. despised militia war rants.
 The friends of jointure pretend to believe that the following clause of the statehood bill precludes the as sumption by the new state of any county indebtedness: That the debts and liabilities of said terri tory of Arizona and of said territory of New Mexico shall be assumed by said state." Their view is that the clause relates only to territorial indebtedness" If that had been the intent of the bill it would have been set forth in those two words It will be observed that whenever the name of either of the territories is used in the bill it takes the form of "The Territory of Arizona," or ''The Territory of New Mexico"
 The clause undoubtedly provides for the cleaning up and the consol- idation of all the indebtedness and liabilities of the two territories and not merely the territorial indebt- edness" of the two territories. But whatever the intent of the law in that matter, it is almost absolutely certain that such a construction of it would prevail. if not at the or ganization of the state, as soon after as legislature could enact that idea into a statute. The counties which groan under the weight oi this indebtedness are the ones which would supply the majority in the legislature Phoenix Republican.
