Douglas is perhaps, the most metro- politsn young city in the Southwest. Her excellent facilities for genera improvement have been fully utilized by the public .pifted people of the young metropolis, until the people enjoy perhaps the most excellent electric light, street railway, water, fire and other services Of any town Tn the territory.
 Just recently the postoffice. which has been cooped up in stuffy little old place on G avenue, has been moved to Tenth street into a new and coni- modious building, where sn abundance of room and light is commanded, con- stituting one of the finest offices in Arizona.
 In moving the postoftice, Postmaster Caldwell, who by the ~ay was former Tombstone resident, lost couple of the girls, the money order fairy and one of the general delivery angels, but two-bit ad in the PRosPEcToR restored them to the force, and now the sedate young lady behind the money order book, the girl with the perpetual smile at the general delivery portbole do not look as though they had been lost in the shuttle.
 About year ego they tried to un- hook Postmaster Caiwell from his little job, but he held on like a cock r ach foundering in La Pages glue and he is there yet.
 He has given complete satisfaction and the employees are the most irresist- .hic, sg-ecat!e. c&c;c.: asG -eI!-con ducted corps of lady assistants in the land.

The county seat removal matter will sh rtly be up be- fore the board of su pervisors. Perhaps no more serious re- sponsibiIity ever devolved on that Lody in the history of Cochise county. That the board fully realizes the gravi- ty of the situation is distinct ly understood.
 Now, d multitude of ques- tions will confront them. Before the board has deliber- ated, before it has entertained the petition its champions and its opponents an hour, 1t will realize that like the mira ge in the Sahara, when you reach the question, it is just as far away as ever. linen complications multiply. Very soon, they will discover that form is one thing, while fact, legality and equity are vastly different.
 The proposition has been thoroughly canvassed, the ad- vocates, pro and con of coun- ty seat removal are crouchlng in their corners, but the brand of public disapproval has been thoroughly placed on the forehead of this fatherless this croupy and contemptible waif, the county seat re emOvai movement and in consider ing the whole problem, iht board, must bear in mind the solid interests Cf the solid majority throughout the length and breadth of theil deliberations. All eyes are on the board of supervisors Let them act slowly, deliber- ately, discreetly and with g view to protecting the interes' of all which means that the document be tabled forever.

cupy the house after some alterations
have been made.
The fact that there We're few sales re-
ported does not accurately illustrate the
activity OF the week. Brokers have been
very busy. and number of large deals

W. Beau, vice president Of Moore &
Hill. Inc, thinks that the real estate,
building and loan situation never was
in a healthier condition.

builder was offered during the week as
much OF $4,000 and other builders have
had no difficulty in getting large loans
