 As we have delicqteIy mentioned before this is no sample issue of the Sun as there are too many things to be done before settling down to good work. but we are sending it out to all good citizens whom we believe should have it; if we don't happen to see you and take the price away from you the first week or two. don't feel hurt. send in your name and tell us you want it.

While intsructing the delegates to the National Republican conven- ton may be very good scheme for a favored few. so far as the inrter- ests of the territory of Arizona are concerned it would be just as well to write polite note advising the convention that Arizona need not be considered. but here's our vote.

To the Public

make our nrSL mOuSSI pop to the fraternity and reading public of Northern Arizona.
 While apologizing to the craft for having fallen by the wayside by getting into the Government ser vice, we hope it won't be necessary to apologize for the Sun. The old itch for a soft pencil and a pad of print paper never deserted during the somewhat extended term: 1t may be our nose for news may have be- come somewhat less keen. but 1t has never been less keen fol the good, redolent old smell of print er's ink.
 The Sun will nominally be Re- publican paper. but we reserve the right to be somewhat independent and do a small lot of thinking asI to rights and wrongs of things our selves. In other words the Sun will inclined to be wide open paper in which ali sides will be given a fair chance to be heard. even though we may not always agree to their opinions. It's one main purpose will be to deal with public affairs as public affairs and not as personal matters: spite work and grudges cant be palmed off on the Sun if we know it.
 It is our purpose to make the Sun shine all over Northern Arizona. and make it shine with few more kilowats of heat. As fast as there ia a demand for larger paper or a more frequent appearance of the Sun. we will move along with the demand and even anticipate it. The many assurances of good will received up to date convinces us that the people of Flagstaff in par ticular and of the North end of the Territory generally want live newspaper and are willing to sup port one if they get one of the right kind.
 It is not going to be possible to make the Sun the paper it should be in one or two months. but as fast as it is possible it will be improved and enlarged.
 have found in the ten years that have lived among the people of Northern Arizona. that they are broad-minded and liberal people as can be found in any country on earth; they are progressive, want the best and usually get it ii it is to be had. There IS nothing too good that can be said for them and they deserve it.
 Flagstaff has splendid opportuni- ties and her people only need to be aroused to do things. That is what the Sun is for and it will fall away ,hort of our expectations if it does not prod up the dear public and make it howl for more prosperity. more business and more public i'm provements.
 We know all about the new broom proposition and do not in- tend to start the Sun on any such plan. It may grow gradually but it is going to stay put when it is put. All we want is to get the facts and we will do the rest; nc matter whether you happen to love the editor real hard or not. give us the facts and if you don't get all that is coming to you. come around and kick--the editor isn't stuck up.
 Including the other buisness in. terests, we hope to make the Sun especially valuable to the different

NOTES AND COMMENTS !

SIGNS OF THE TIMES.

The contest between winter and
spring gives us rain, hail, snow and
sunshine, all il. .one day but we know
Of certainty that the sun will finally
win out. A like contest is going on
between the old and the Dew in our
political life. The issue Of statement
No. l is lining up -our.legislators and
prospective United States senator
and the pros and cons promise a lively
time. 1t is but feature Of the de-
sire of the people for practical self
government on the. lone hand and the
very natural desire Of the party
politician to preserve his lines intact
on the other. Whether it is largely
adopted by the voters and their repre-
sentatives or not one thing is about
as sure as the summers sun and we
may consequently expect TO see an end
to the disgraceful scenes attending
the election of United States senators
which have so often held up legisls-
tiOn and corrupted our political life.
The next leg islature ought to accom-
plish much in the line of popular
self government whoever is elected
to fill the seat OF Senator Fulton.
Many newcomers may be expected to
add their hands and their purses to
the development Of our fruit lands
the coming season. The more the
merrier.
Just a little snow furry. Not
enough to pay for keeping sled.

BUILDING OPERATIONS
AND TIMBER SUPPLY

anu bbocA 49,
stone are not yet used in sufficient
quantities to encourage lumber users
to predict the time when the forests
will not be called upon TO furnish the
principal materials used in building
operations. Notwithstanding the re-
marksble increase in the use OF &C.
meut and other FIRE proof materials,
the last reports Of the building opera
tions in 40 Of the leading cities OF the
United States for the year, collected
by the Geological Survey, show that
SO per cent we're wooden construction.
Even II the remaining Al per cent
of the building were built of brick,
stone aud concrete, vast quantities OF
wood are consumed both in the con-
struction and in the hnish, though in
the latter form, metal is taking the
place Of wood to a very large extent.
The amount of lumber given above
does not take into consideration this
item at all.
While this percentage is representa-
tive of the building industry In the
United States, dealers point out that
il does not include the large quantities
of lumber used for the construction OF
dwellings, stores and other buildings
in the thousands of small cities and
towns scattered over the country and
not included in the 40 cities on which
a reckoning was made. In towns aud
small cities wood is usually the pre-
dominating building material and 1t
is safe to say that II the statistics had
included figures for all places of
whatever size, the percentage OF
wooden construction would have been
much greater. These figures, as
rule, are only for the corporate limits,
and the suburbs of these cities have
each very large amounts to be added.
The cost, also. is relatively higher IN
these cities than in towns nearer the
base of the supply.
In wooden buildings New York
City is at the bottom of the list.
though II leads with slS,0 as the
average cost of buildings, Except at
San Francisco, where abnormal con.
ditions have prevailed since the fire,
Boston shows the greatest increase of
any of the cities in the total cost OF
building operations. The average
cost of buildings is constantly incress
ing, having risen over $500 during the
last three years. The average value
of building is given in the report rs
s2OS5.
Lumber is by far the greatest drain
on the forests, aud the wonderful de-
yelopment of the country during the
past decade has called for the use Of
nearly 10000, 600 900, board feet a
year. The largest quantity ever re-
ported for single year " ws for 1905,
when thirty seven and one-half billion
feet, with mill value of se2i, 151. 1888
was used. Including the. value Of the
lath and shingles used with this
amount, the total value of the wood
used for building is brought up to
fe5s, 798,5iS.
The increasing price Of lumber
and the rapidly increasing use of per-
iected arcproof systems of construc-
.ion should have much to do in hold.
ing down the amount which the
forests are called upon to yield each
rear, but so far these more sub stantial
have not decreased the lum.
