A FINE BUT ESSENTIAL POINT.

A FINE BUT ESSENTIAL POINT.
 A gentleman of an observant turn of mind who has lately completed tour of the east. discovered flaw in the advertisements of Phoenix and tho Salt River valley generally. The flaw curiousIy consists in d neglect by the advertisements to exploit one peculiar disadvantage under %inch the best part of the territory labors.
 Much has been written and well>and tru.hfuuy written Of the marvellous wealth or Arizona mountains and the almost magical rroductNeness of its valleys but outsiders have been only casually warned in a general descrip- tion that these things can be seen only by those who come especially to look for them.
 It is unfortunate that little to the advantage of Arizona can be seen from the windows of cars on either of the great transcuutinentaI lines. The i'm pressfon acquired by the overwhelm- ing bulk of travellers is that they are passing through desert waste relicv- ed only by wild mountalns and giant cactus. The passing view c2rrooo- rates the worst they have heard Of Arizona. They see nothing in the living scenery to support what they may have read in magazine or folder of the fertile salt River valley and the mines. the greatest wealth producers of the continent All the evidence at hand favors the Arizona Kicker and the AlkaI ulo stories rather than the carefully prepared and accurate state ments of boards of trades
 It is true that many travellers know that these statements are true; they know that the rich valleys and the great mines are here but far from ,he great tr.uscoutnental lines. Hut for every ,rarelo~ who knows this, there are many hundreds who do not.
 The comparative isolation of the best of Arizona from the main lines of travel should be made as prominent as possible m all advertisements of the res3urccs of the territory. We do not mean that there has ever been any attempt at cancealment of this un- fortunate condition. In fact all liter aturc in the interest oc this valley as well as in tho interest of the big min inG towns has been quite explicit in its directions as to the location of what is worth seeing in the territory, but these directions We believe have never been Fiven sufficient prominence to catch and hold the attention of the casual rcs-d-r. The casual reader. the possible investor, is always infinitely more numerous than the Interested render and tho intending investor

 Mir William Randolph Hearst has always been given credit for having his name printed in his own n-wspa- per more times than any other man that ever lived. but this seems to have been an injustice to Editor Bryan of the Commoner According to figures submitted to the house of representa- ti1cs by Congressman Rodcrberg Of Illinois. Mir. P~vans name appeared l35 times in the issue of his paper of F'gbruarg 2>th. and los times in the issue of March 9th.
