 THE RAILROADS Phoenix has 1 had no mail from California since ! Sunday morning over either railroad ] system, but it is expected that mail { and passengers will arrive over both ! lines this morning. The local NJ. G, P ] nf ] Southern Pacific line was opened and ] that trains began moving yesterday ! afternoon at o'clock. The Santa Fe ] agent was also advised that trains
 were again running regularly on the ! Santa Fe line. As there are four or five ! trains each way, each day on each road and the roads have been tied up ! for two or three days one can easily ] imagine how rapidly traffic will con- | gest. There were more people no
 doubt at Needles and vicinity yester- ] day and between Indio and Yuma than
 either one of those desert areas has
 seen before in many a day.
 HELPING ARIZONA-The Pacific | Monthly is doing much good for Ari- zOna by the publication of numerous l articles concerning the natural re- | sources of the territory and their de-
 velopment Among the frequent con-
 tributors to this Journal is Elmer White who spent much time here last 1 winter and who is just now in charge l of the offices of J. Ernest Walker in 1 Los Angeles. MT. White. in addition to his regular duties still finds time
 for literary work in which he has been l engaged a large part of his life. In ! the August number of the Pacific l Monthly he has an article on "Arizo- ma: Natural and Acquired Advan- | tages.'. That the magazine has been appreciated here is evidenced by the fact that not a copy is left on the news stands and those who desire them now will have to place special orders. | Mir Whites treatment of his subject is l in tablet" form. That is it is con- densed. He does not attempt to go into a long argument on any subject but states the facts and if there are in- | terested disbelievers, there is time | enough later to present the proof He dwells on the wonderful mineral re- 1 sources of the territory. north and | south. showing how slightly the land
 has thus far been scratched for the precious metals. Particular attention
 is paid to the wonderful productivity
 of the soil of the agricultural valleys
 and to the immense area available for
 farming. While the proportion of val
 ley land to rocky or mountain land is !, small the valleys nevertheless have a
 larger area than many eastern states
 Much attention is paid to the citizen
 ship of the territory, to the school 5 systems, to irrigation, to numbering in- ! terests and to politics, to the extent ? that he sets forth the fact that the \ people are almost unanimously oppos- ed to joint statehood. Concluding, MT White says: No thought is indulgeC
 or attempt made to lead one to believe
 that Arizona is better than other goot
 sections of the United States, but un-
 prejudiced observation with desire anC
 purpose to obtain facts and leau
 truths, should impress any person tha
 this territory is not only misunder
