 The democrats of Cochise county have placed on their ticket two gen tlemen as candidates for supervisor who will be a credit to the party and the county when they take their places on the board Both these gen tlemen are trained business men and have a thorough knowledge of the conditions :n the county. W. M. Adamson of Douglas has been tried in similar position and proved his worth. MT. Adamson was mayor or Douglas and it is due to him more than to any other man the splendid condition of our ciCy government to- day Ii was Mr. Adamson who planned the street Improvement; it was Adam son who planned the improvement of our fire department which resulted in the great saving to the property owners in the matter of insurance, With tke lowest tax rate known in any city in the territory. under tht administration of Mayor Adamson the city of Douglas iistanced every ott CT city in the matter of public I'm provement NIT. Adamson is conceded to be the very best supervisor timber in this county; he IS careful and ex act in all his calculations and he dem onstrated in the city government c Douglas that he measured every prop osition from business standpoint. Il is conceded that Me Adamson will be elected and the people of the county are to be congratulated on having the opportunity of securing such a well qualified man for the position.
 John Rock of Tombstone :c busi. ness man of many years training. He  has never sought cffice or politica preferment and consented to accept the position of supervisor only at the earnest solicitation of many friends in various sections of the county. Mir Rock resides at the county seat and this fact will be an important consid- eration in his favor as candidate for supervisor He will al all times be in Tombstone and accessible to those who may have matters coming before the board concerning which they would like to make personal expla- nation at times when the board is not in session, thereby saving them anotn- CT trip to the county seat. Mir. Rock is in every way qualified for the po- sition of supervisor and his election will insure to Cochise cou4ty one of the very best members who ever sit on the board.

stand for the best that their respec- tive parties advocate, and in charac- ter and intellect they are high types of American citizenship. Really, MT. Taft is not appearing in the light of his true worth. because he is in the shadow of another man He would appeal much more to the American people if he were not the Presidents candidate and if the President would let him fight his own bettle. We could almos; wish that he might be emboldened to tell Mr. Roosevelt to mind his own affairs.
 But that is aside The meeting Of the candidates has injected little of the element of neighborly kindness into the campaign. las caused them to be more regardfil of each other and has reminded th people that we are quite certain 'o have a President who will personally measure up to the best traditions of the office

GROWTH OF FORESTRY.

FOHEo NY.
 The year book of the department of agriculture. recently issued. has some interesting information concerning the development Of forestry in the United States during the past ten years. In the year book the statement is made that in the rast decade from an almost unknown science forestry in the United States has advanced to a useful. growing profession.
 There are now throughout the coun- try 400 trained foresters, whereas ten years ago there were scarce a dozen. and in that time there have been es- tabllshed numbers of forestry schools which rank with tue pest in Europe where the necessity of scientific re- forestization was long ago recognized. Ten years ago these European stu dents of forestry knew more about the forest trees of America than was known here at home. But this has all been changed. The preservation ana culture of forests in America has come to be recognized in it's true inn portance. The go. ernment has been active in the matter, and following the lead and example thereby set, num- bers of individual properties have been replanted in trees until the for est area of the United States has grown surprisingly. The government also has increaseS Is forest reserves thereby preventing the complete de nuding of the hillsides, which once seemed inevitable
 The planting of trees is a matter which should be of direct interest to every land owner. It has been proved conclusiyely that Te forests control the rainfall, and nat the hilIsides bare of the trees which were native there become a perpetual menace by the excessive rains at one time and the lack of rain at another. And not only on the hillsides do the trees aid in the distribution of the rainfall: it is rule that apples to any wooded section Every land owner should plant trees. There are trees adapt able to each soil, no matter what it's character, and besides being of great value in the matter os control of rain fall, they Beautify th.s country as noth- ing else can. The argument. however, which will probably have the greatest aibcal is that the planting of trees Is profitable investment. Once planted they require no care and if selected with due consideration as to soil and climate, in very few years the re turns in the marketing of the timber crop, whether it, be for fence post frewocd, paper pulp or lumber. will have proven the good business judg ment Of the investment

Send Ralph Cameron to congress. cry the republicans. Then you win have a representative in Washington friendly with the powers that be. Yes, we would have representative friendly with the republicans who have denied justice to Arizona in the past and who tried to steal from our people their political heritage. Does anyone believe that Ralph Cameron would have stood Tor Arizona in the statehood fight while the republican delegate from New .dexico was falling down at the feet of Roosevelt ana Cannon?

BEN GOODRICH GIVES WARNING.

In a speech at Bisbee Hon. Ben Goodrich, democratic candidate for the council. called attention of demo crats to the great necessity for dem ocratic success in Arizona this year. MT. Goodrich stated that there was no further doubt about the passage of the bill for the admission of Arizona as separate state during the short session of congress next winter. Pub lie sentiment has grown so strong in favor of giving justice to the people of the remaining territories that the republicans dare rot withhold It longer.
 The warning sounded by Mir. Good rich concerned the matter of United States senators froIl Arizona Should the republicans secure a majority in the next legislature it is the belief of Mr Goodrich U at the republican majority in congress would so fix the Arizona statehood bill that the then sitting legislature, if it was controlled by republicans, woild be given the authority to elect the first senators from Arizona
 We are firmly of tEe belief that this will be the course of. the republicans should they succeed in winning a victory in Arizona Eext month. We are confirmed in this belief because of the plea being Nade to democrats to vote the republican ticket just once"
 Democrats must Eot lose sight of this great danger Of having republl- cans elected to the Cnited States sen ate from this territory. If we want to see Arizona come into statehood and have the foundation Of the new state builded on the principles of the democratic party, a. now upheld by William Jennings B-yan. then demo erats should be more active and loyal now to the party candidates in this territory than ever lefore.

eIssEg,s FIRE LOSS.

The people of Bisbee do not lack the courage to properly meet the great fire calamity of last evening. Many have seen all of their posses sions wiped out, and many are home less for the time being. But those who escaped the scourqe will see to it that TO suffering results from hunger 'or lack of shelter. This morning the best thing we have in the community is the superb manhood and woman hood, strong enough to calmly meet worse blows than this.
 5isbee has not asked for outside help, and will not do so. All that needs to be done will be attended to at horne, and those who are in need of assistance will find it extended to them, without reservation and with out condition.
 That the burned district will soon witness rebuilding on larger and better scale goes without saying. The ashes of the business houses and homes do not mark despair or dis courasement. On the contrary, the efarred timbers only arouse the un. conquerabIe will of the community Courage and charity are the watch words, and these two qualities will overcome all disaster.
