Gov. Kibbey in his message has the following to say regarding the Normal school at Flagstaff
 The Northern Arizona Normal School, at Flagstaff, although it is not so extensive as that at Tempe, is complete in all respects. And there as at Tempe, the results are entirely creditable. The institution is especially convenient to the nor thern sections of the Territory, and have no doubt it will have your friendly consideration.
 Since 1901, when the first gradu- ations took place, there have been 42 graduates from the institution. The present enrolment in the normal deparment is 53. with an average daily attendance of 45.
 Six teachers are employed.
 During the last fiscal year the expenditures for main tenance amounted to $l3. .978.64; in the year previous, SIP. 9O6.42. The present tax levy for the Northern Arizona Normal is Az cents on each $l00; cents being for maintenance, and F cents for the dormitory.

J. P. Shonts, chairman of the Isthmus canal commission has resigned that position and ac- cepted the presidency of a New York railroad. The position O being at the head of the canal com mission is not one that will induce a competent man to stay with the place.

Last week at the National wool growers convention at Salt Lake E.. s. Gosney addressed the convention advocating the establishing of a journal devoted to the interest of the wool growing and kindred in dustries. The suggestion is worthy of the attention of those interested in wool growing as a newspaper, such as Mir. Gosney has in mind, would be a power in the interests of all wool growers.

The newspapers have been calling public attention for years past to the fact that the amount which the general government pays to the railroads of the country for carrying the mails is out of all proportion
 to the service rendered. and they have proved it by the roads them- selves, by showing from their rec ords that they render a greater ser vice to the express companies for a mere fraction of what they charge the government. The public "kick"
 on this point has at last become so vigorous that congress can no long, CT ignore it, and a bill has been introduced to make a general re- duction of ten per cent. But that would do so little toward fighting the wrong complained of that many people believe it would be better in the end to let the present robbery go on than make pretense of stop ping it with such a trifling reduc-
 tion as ten per cent. when it ought to be fifty. Albuquerque Journal.
