 ON SPECIAL EDITION
The Homeseekers' Number is in Great Demand and the Business Men Give it Their Approval.

Yesterday was another day of rush ing around at the postcffice by reason of the mailing of hundreds of copies of the big Homeseekers Edition of The Republican. It was likewise another day of congratulation for The Repub- lican by callers at the office and by scores on the street who came in con tact with representatives of the paper. There is still ample supply of the pa pers on sale at the news stands and at The Republican office. though they are going rapidly. It. is desired that all be sold and sent out as quickly as possi- ble. The cost of getting out the paper is now "all in as it were and if this valley is to have the greatest benefit every copy should be put in circulation at the earliest possible moment. The postage is only two cents on the three Homeseekers' sections of the paper which contains the matter of special interest to the eastern reader, or three cents for the entire paper
 So many pleasing things were said of the paper yesterday by so many good citizens it is desirable to add few more expressions to those published the day before. It there is any citizen who has not yet seen a copy these remarks ought surely to remind him he should do so at Unce:
 John J. Sweeney of the First National Bank of Arizona said of the Homeseek- CTS Edition that it was the best thing of the kind that had ever been issued in Arizona and he hoped tha the peo- pie would now do their part and see that it was given the widest possible distribution. He said that there had never before been such an opportunity to inform strangers of the magnificent resources of the valley. MT. Sweeney said he hoped that such an edition would be issued once a year at least. He would impress upon those who ob- tain copies of the paper not 10 allow them to lay around their offices but To forward them to persons residing in distant states He said that noth- ing in the way of an advertisement of the valley could take the place of such editions. The very many advertise ments in the paper would pe of great interest to those contemplating a change of residence They can see by such advertisements more or the busi ness of the community than could be told them in columns of reading mat ter.
 Said H. J. McClung of the Phoenix National Bank: T have not had a chance yet to go over the Homeseek- CTS Edition of The Republican care fully but I have seen enough to con vince me that it will be a most help ful aid to the upbuilding of the com munity. The name of it has been ap- propriately chosen. IL is a Home seekers Edition. intended for the hOmeseeker and furnishes him with all the information regarding tnis country that he needs to know and prepares him to come to make an intelligent personal investigation. In fact. except to satisfy himself he need not make the investigation.
 Tt was a great paper" said Dick Gerard of the Gerard-Jones Dry Goods company Tt cannot fail to bring re- suits which will be beneficial alike to the homeseelter and the Salt River valley"
 T. II. Landis. general agent. Ran doiph Lines. said: T wish to congrat- ulate The Republican on the fine spe cial edition issued Wednesday morn ing. This edition is in splendid con- trast to the efforts of another news paper in ihe city that is trying to make it appear that conditions are such that i: would be dangerous to invest in ! business enterprises in Phoenix. The Republican in it's good work is only holding it's place at the head of the column I am still believer in five acres. a COW. twelve chickens and in- dependence"
 Secretary Cowgirl of the board of trade. said: The special edition is a wonder IL would do a town the size of Los Angeles great credit and I don't see how The Republican could afford to get out such paper. What inn pressed me most was the reliability of every article published. Every writer dealt with subject with which he was familiar and an authority upon. l have examined many special editions but l
