An Ancient Map of "ArizOnid."

Whether or not those who have
beeI. accustomed to call or spell it
"Arizonan' have been convinced of
the error of their WAYS, the discussion
of that matter has not been without
good result. James c.. Goodwin of
Tempe became so interested in the
subject that he resurreCted an old
map which had been in his possession
for years. He took it to the capital
and presented it to the governor. who
had the fact of the presentation and
the name of Mr.. Goodwin printed on
it. and it will henceforth adorn the
walls of the executive chamber.
The map was published in 1888 by
Johnson, just fifty years ago. 1t is a
map of North America, embracing
the outlying islands. but the greatest
attraction is giver to the United
States as the United States then was.
1t is also county map of the states.
The map is in excellent state of
preservation and but for the date on
it and the manner in which it repre-
sents this country as having been
divided it would seem to have been
issued at later date.
Arzonia that is the way it was
spelled them embraced d strip of ter
ritory bounded on the south by the
present international line. 1t was
bounded on the east by its present
line to a point nearly as far north as
the thirteenth parallel, from which
the northern boundary ran west about
as far as Casa Grande. whence 1t
turned north to point nearly Oh the
thirty-frst parallel and then west to
the Salt river. 1t then followed the
Salt and Gila rivers to the present
western boundary.
The overland stage line is marked,
but there are no towns or settlements.
The location of the Indian tribes is
designated, but many of them are un-
familiar. There was no Colorado
then and no Nevada. New Mexico
overhung "Arizonia" on the north
and east, and Utah from California
to Kansas. The territory OF Nebraska
occupied the whole north central
part of the country.-Republica

ROastf the Americans as Pig Nation.
he Mexican Herald saws:

The Mexican Herald says:
"A cipher letter from an avOwed
Mexican revolutinist, Ricardo Flores
Mag0n, still in prison in Los Angeles,
To his brother Enrique, at Ell PasO,
fell into the hands of the authorities
at the time of the recent arrests at
El Pdso. The interesting document
has been forwarded to Mexico City
and there translated. The plan was
to incite thousands of factory hands
near the city of Oriziba to destroy
the big cotton mills and capture the
city OF Oriziba.
Speaking of American Intervention
in case the revolution succeeded, the
letter translated reads:
1--WE thought much over possible
'rringo' invasion owing to the revolu
ton. 1t must be remembered it has
been decided not to circulate a revolu-
tlonarv manifesto, for DiaZ may pre- =
p ire himself and we may not be able
to catch him unpre pared. AS regards
Roosevelt, it is even said be will not
send troops to the frontier. We miss
realization of part of the plan of
not being d BILE to smuggle comrades
from the nation such as various groups
in Texas. But that is not all. With
the American people organized work
men are not so susceptible to agita-
tion. Only unions at Ell Paso took
action. Beyond this exception and
Pasadena there has been nothing Of
a systematic sort such as d formal
campaign in ou.- favor"
Here and there from time to time
paragraphs appeared in labor and
socialist papers, but there has been
no real campaign in our favor in
spite of the fact that the conclusion
Of both governments is ilagrant.
The Americans are incapable of
feeling enthusiasm or Indignation.
This is really d republic of pigs
Sometime the gringos will have to
attack US. So if it be when the peo-
pie are in rebellion against Diaz. it
will prec ipitate the fall of the dicta-
tor because people see that Roose-
welt is clearly allied with DiaZ to en-
slave us to lose our autonomy"
