Two New York Girls
 Want Arizona Husbands

Two young women of Schenectady \ |, right n1w, just on the eve oi -tstehood, are trying to convert the government of the Territory of Ari- zona into s matrimonial bureau They nave written high territorial official concern ng delicate matter m which they say i've could help you out as vel ss ourselves.
 IL has been their understanding that there IS a great dem4nd for mar. rIageable women in arizuns; that there are csttlemen .ud miners long ing for hates, when none are to be had except Indian maidens They
 fer to meet this demand or a, least to lessen it ss lar a. two girls n
 They ask the territorial govcrnn ent to bring this matter to the attention nt the right kind of yorng men 70 the md that a correspondence may be es. abolished winch may lead ,o ms-ri mOny.
 The specifications are not nuner. ous or d fficuit. l. s not nece--ary that the young men should possess great wealth or any at all; that 's, nothing is said about that, but heaIis and mustsrher are barred They must be of medium height aud b.iid and smooth-shaved." Dark haired young men gre preferred. The young women give no further description oi themselves than to ssy.that one oi them is twenty and the other twenty two years Of age. One has German name and the other a cognomen which travellers ire9uentl, hear in the viein- ity of Enniskillen, County Fermsn agh, Ireland.
 It has been thought best by tbe territorial government not Co publish the names and addresse. of the young women since that might ultimately cause item embarrassment at hone and might tempt the wrong k nd Of young men of Arizona into idle cor . respondence Of which DO good could come.
 But snch as are really in earnest may apply to the board of control or the live stock sanitary commission for further infOr .nation.

Petitioning Arizona
 Roads for Reductions

Secretary NJ O Bicknell of the Ari zons railway commission is sending to the mann and branch railroads in Arizona petitions, in which are aske notable reductions in the freight rates now m force.
 As an introduction to eleven pages of printed tables, showing the rates the commission thinks each of the railroads should make on freight ship ments. the comm ssion ssys:
 "rhe practice O: publishing srecial live stock rates between certain points is, in itself, unsatisfactory, since it leaves many points unprovid- ed for. resulting in the 'reqnent use of class rates. which for live stock move- meats are excessive.
 Furthermore, without attack ng any particular rate now current, the average rates are high. some are ex- orbitant and no uniform basis is used for example, the beef ca,t @ rate solomon to Bowie, B miles, i: ! , and from Phoenix to Maricops an affiliated line under the same management and control. charge: s25 per car for like distance.
 Similar inconsistencies are found to exist on the line O. single car rier and the com miss on is of th' opinion that the adoption of the dis tance tariff will, in addition to pro- viding rates between all points, pro vide such equitable rates that ther, will be sn immediate growth of tn live stock industry. which is one O the leading industries Cf the terri. tory, and its growth of vital import -uce to the various carriers

EDITORIAL BRIEFS

To get results from any
 great convention, a commun- ity should be represented at that convention by a live del
 egation of intelligent, pro gressive citizens. This ap- plles to the Dry Farming Congress in greater degree than to any political gather ing or one which Is devoted to a movement of lesser scope. The practical benefits from such an assemblage as that which will meet at Billings, Montana, the last week in Oc- tober, are largely the re- suit of the discussions which bring out the exper- fence of men who have forged ahead along 1.-the road to the solution of the problems which that convention considers
 Arizona should be well repre- sented to learn the lesson that will be brought out at that meeting and bring back to us the report of progress in the science of agriculture which will be an inspiration to oui people to continue advancing the develo rment of our com monwealth and our country

conscription of Candidates

The Tucson Citizen tells of
 rather unexpected joker m the election law that has been discovered by several of the primary candidates in the present campaign at Tucson. By its provisions the candl- dade may mt withdraw his name after a petition for him has been signed and filed but, must, willy-nilly, go before the party primary. At first thought this seems an invas- ion of private rights. It is, however, strictly in line with
 he old familiar doctrine, so coyly coquetted with by poli- ticians. that the office should seek the man. Under the new procedure an opportunity is presented for conscriptjng the good citizen whose innate modesty has heretofore stood between him and the public servlce. and for drafting tht business man, whose voice II the public cOuncils is so sadl, needed.

When you can buy a pair of American-made shoes in China or Japan for S2.l0 that would cost you B in any city in this country, what do you think of that Aldrich tariff bill, anyway?
 Zinc is still climbing up- ward, the latest quotation be- ing from 5.70 to 5.90. This is the highest quotation since the slump in the metals two years ago. The zinc mines of this county are sure to get the benefit of much higher prices before the year is out. At the present time no Mexican zinc is coming into the d merican market, on account of the heavy tariff tax imposed.
