Running a Newspaper.

About once a week or oftener some cheerful friend of OUTS re
 marks: Well, your paper is cut now and 1 suppose you can take it easy for few days" Of course we can. We take things every day, and we don't care whether they are easy or other wise. This thing of running a newspaper is all picnic and pie. The business goes on in an auto matic way. It does this because it cannot do any other way. When bills are due money drops off the trees, and subscribers have been known to tear the shirts off each others backs en-
 deavoring to get into the office first to deposit their mite. The editor fights the advertisers of with club. If he didn't use the big stick the forms would stick over the bed of the press in vain efforts to accommodate the ad- vertisers with space. And 1t is no trick to set the news. Every
 body with a news item rushes down to the office the day before press day and hands in copy. All the news editor has to do is to sit back in his easy chair and smile at the line of people wait ing their turn to tell what they know. The cempositors hypno
 tize the copy, shake it few times over the cases and the type rattles into proper position faster than an interest bearing note natures at the bank. Now the foreman makes a few. passes with his makeup rule, speaks the magic word, the forms are down and the paper ready for the public. Then the editor finds time to go over to the bank and deposit some more money. That's all there is to it. It's d great snap. Yon ought to get into the business. It's fine. Occur d'Alene Journal.

STANDARDS PROFITS
 SSOO.OOO.OOO.

The governments prosecution of the Standard Oil Company is progressing steadily. It has thus far revealed the fact that the Standard Oil Company has made profits of $500, COG, GOO in the last twenty five years; that it has frequently violated the law and the mandates of the state supreme courts; that John D. Rockefeller owns one-fourth of the stock and that his hold
 ings are worth S109, eco, GOO; that his incume amounts to over S2l a minute; that the Standard Oil Company of Indiana, a sort of legal fiction but actually part of the real Standard Oil Com
 pany, which Judge Landis fined S29,000, 1000, has been making a profit of 1000 per cent a year. The governments suit prays the dissolution of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey, the real company which owns all the little companies s-little by com harrison. The suit is being con- ducted under the Sherman anti trust law, which was d law when Grover Cleveland was last pres
 ident. But then it is always the policy of the democratic party to talk about things, not to do them. It remained for Theodore Roosevelt, acting on the legal advice of William H. Taft and Charles J. ~Bonaparte, to under take to break up by legal pro. cess this great law breaking mo- nopoly. The democrats are re- nsarkable 'trust busters" but it is only during their campaigns.

of sufficient importance to find a place on the map were Hardy vile, near Fort Mohave, Call vile, further up the river, Au brey, at the junction of Bill Will Hams Fork with the Colorado river, La Paz, further down the river, now marked only by few adobe ruins, Castle Dome, a lit tie further down, Arizona City, which is now the city of Yuma, Gila City, a few miles up the river, Prescott, Wickenberg, and Weaver, near the latter place, Pima, near the present Gila crossing south of Phoenix, Tue son and TGbac, on the Santa Cruz, the Heintzelman mine little to the southwest of the Papago country and the Mowry mine down near the present No gales. Many other settlements, however, are described in the letter which is optimistic in tone dwelling on the wonderful pos abilities of the mining sections and almost every town named was slated for 8 prosperous future.
 Gila City, twenty miles uptbe Gila river from Yuma, was laid out in 1858, after the discovery of gold at that point. It may be said that historic town is still laying out town lots which are probably available at the buyers price. La Paz is referred to as the business center of western Arizona and, the letter says, has some stores that would not do discredit to California.

Attorney General Bonapart,

Attorney General Bonaparte will recommend in his next an- nual report some changes in the law which he believes will make the Sherman antitrust law more inteligible and less difficult of enforcement. The presidentwi doubtless embody the attorney generals recommendations in the next annual message to congress.
 It is an abstruse subject and one that puzzles the best Ia wyers, so that if the attorney general has solved the chief difficulties he will nave done his country and his party an incalculable service.

PAST RECALLED BY OLD PRINT
 OFI.ONG AGO.

Phoenix Sept. 28.-Secretary Cowgirl, of the board of trade, is busy giving the board room a general overhauling, digging up the dirt and garbage that has ac- eumulated during the summer, and getting things in order for the rearrapging of the display as soon as the new show frames are ready. In doing this work he has come across a number of old curios, at least two of which are interesting and worth pre- serving.
 One of them is an old litho- graph stone on which is en- graved a letter head for the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce. It is the block from which a great many years ago, was run the stationery for the organiza ton.
 Another and more interesting curio IS a pamphlet of about twenty-five pages entitled "Ari- zona, It's Resources and Pros pects." It is a reprint from a letter to the editor of the New York Tribune published in that newspaper June 26, 1865. The writer was Richard c. McCor- mack, the first secretary of the territory of Arizona. The pam phlet was printed the same year by D. Van Nostrand, No. 192 Broadway, New York. This is probably the oldest publication in the city on the subject of Arl- zona's resources, the initial effort perhaps to authoritatively call attention in print to the great nndeveloped wealth of the terri tory. The cover is illustrated with the old territorial seal showing a miner in the fore ground and range of mountains behind.
 The publication shows tine en- terprising nature of the Tribune management in those days for it begins, "I have the pleasure of responding to your request" in dicating that the Tribune had requested Mccormick to write the letter. A map accompany ing shows that at that time the southern corner of Nevada, that portion lying south of the west ern extension of Arizona'S pres ent northern boundary, was then a part of Arizona. The territory then had but four coun ties, Mohave, Yuma, Pima and Yavapai of which the latter was by far the largest. The map shows five forts: MOhave on the upper Colorado river, Fort Yuma, Fort Whipple, Fort Bowie now abandoned, and Fort Good win, named after the first gov ernor who reached the territory, no doubt. The latter was on the upper Giia river and was abandoned long ago. The only tuwus in Arizona that were then
