THE REPUBLICAN.

On the 21th instant The ArlZona Republican property was bought and paid for by MT. S. W. Higley and MT Sims Ely, both of Phoenix. They took over from the several persons in interest (Dr. George w. Vickers, MT. Frank NJ Murphy. MT. A. w. Ed wards. and MT. Harvey J. Lee) all of the shares of stock of the Arizona Publishing Company, the corporation which owns The Republican.
 The retiring directors-Dr. Vickers. NIT. Edwards. and Mir Lee-are sue ceeded by MT. Higley, MT. Ely, and Mir. Sims Eaton.
 The executive officers from yester- day are: President, MT. Higley; sec retary- treasurer and general manager, MT. Ely; business manager, MT Eaton.
 A change in the ownership of a private business does not necessarily call for a public statement But great newspaper is a public institu- tion in which thousands of people have a daily interest; and as this is the first issue of The Republican under the new owhership it is proper to state the convictions which will guide the management in conducting the paper.
 A newspaper should justify the name. All news should be published without bias, without prejudice, and without distortion-inaccurate infor- nation is always a nuisance. Edi- toriaI comment should be an honest expression of opinion. All persons, high or low, and all business interests. small or great, should be treated with absolute fairness. It is often said that ours is "a government by news papers" There is enough truth in the assertion to make every honest managing editor feel the heavy re- sponsibility of his position. He falls far short of his duty to the public if he permits his paper to become the instrument of unworthy purposes, or to fall to the level of expressing mere personal prejudice. Moreover, it is seldom indeed that the public is benefited in any way, or even interested, by controversy between newspapers, or by criticism of per sons.
 The Republican is taken over by the new owners at the most prosper ous point in the history of the publi- cation. Having an unbroken dividend record of ten years, its business has steadily grown from year to year and is now greater by far than ever before
 As to the future of the paper, it must be one with the future of Phoe- nix. the Salt River Valley, and Ari- zona, for there are few business insti- tutions in this great valley which represent a larger investment or larger payroll than does this paper. And the future is certain. Rapid as is the growth of Phoenix, and amazing as it may seem, and visible as are the many evidences of the future greatness of the city, it is to be doubted whether any but those who are carefully discerning fully antici- pate the growth which is just ahead of Phoenix and of the thriving valley cities of Mesa, Tempe, and Glendale, and the exceedingly rich Buckeye and Arlington districts.
 Always at least a little ahead of the town" as the Republican has often been described with pride by citizens of the community, this paper expects to continue in the vanguard of pro- gress; giving more news and inter esting reading matter than any other paper in Arizona, and standing al

Launee Crozier Hunt Dead.

At Albuquerque, New Mexico, last Monday morning, there died one of the best and noblesJ women that the grand old territory of Arizona ever gave birth to-Launee Crozier Hunt. In the pride of young womanhood she was called by the grim reaper, leaving behind wealth of kindly deeds and noble actions that endeared to her everyone with whom she had come in contact. There was no woman more loved, respected and admired among all the good and noble women of the county than she. Her body was brought to the home of her childhood Tuesday evening last and inferred by the side of her father and brother on the old homestead last Wednesday evening" Friends from all parts of the county attended the last sad rites at the grave, and mingled their tears with those of the bereaved husband, mother, brothers and sisters. The services at the grave were most i'm pressive and were conducted by Rev. Roberts, Of Williams.
 Deceased left two small children, besides husband, mother, brothers and sisters to mourn her loss, and hundreds of warm personal friends. She was born in Mohave county, about twenty nine years ago, and grew to woman hood among the people, being held in warmest love and esteem for the many good qualities of mind and heart.
 May angels wait her soul to its abode in Heaven.

An Indian Murderer.

Last Monday evening, at Chloride, Beecher, a Walapai Indian, fired a shot into the body of Chinaman named Moy Soon, that made of Soon a corpse and Beecher murderer. As near as can be gleaned the facts. of the case is as follows: The Indians had been drinking liquor and the supply running out white man was sent to the nearest saloon for more. The white man not returning, Beecher and his squaw started over town to ascer- tain the cause. As they were passing the restaurant of Soon an altercation took place between the Indian and the Chinaman which resulted in Soon beating the Indian with can opener Beecher went at once to his camp and immediately returned with an old fashioned Winchester rife, and going to the back door of the restaurant shot Soon through the arm and body, causing fatal wound. The stricken man walked to the front of the restau- rant and fell dead on the porch. Just as the shot was fired the Indian was seized by Alfred Donkey, Justice of the Peace at that place, and placed under arrest.
 Moy Soon, the murdered man, was one of the oldest residents of the coun- ty, having come to the county long be- fore the arrival of the railroad. He conducted restaurants in nearly every camp in the county and no broke min- CT ever left his place hungry. He was one of the whitest Chinamen in the territory and all the old timers will regret his dramatic taking off.
 Beecher, the Indian who did the shooting, was raised in the neighbor- hood of Chloride, and has always been considered a dangerous fellow when drinking. Some years ago he was shot and wounded by Henry P. Ewing, while resisting arrest. Of late years he has quieted down and no one thought he would again go on the war path, but there is no telling what an Indian will do when filled with liquor
 District Attorney w. E. Moroney and Miss Fannie Sawyer, stenographer, went out to Chloride Tuesday, where the preliminary examination was held Justice Conkey bound the murderer over without bail and Deputy Sheriff w. F. Ferguson brought the man in Tuesday evening and lodged him in the county jail.

The Mohave County Bulletin is now ready for distribution, and copies may be had on application to the Commis- sioner of Immigration, Kingman. The latter would like to ask at this time the cooperation of every person in the county in distributing the first "boost'' literature of the county, and will be glad to send to anyone copies for mail ing purposes, or personally attend to mailing lists sent in.
 Although the booklet is out, it is not yet paid for. No statement of the cost has been received from the publishers, Rand McNally X Co.,, of Chicago, but from extra data that has been added to the book, the estimated cost of 53:- s will probably be exceeded by l00S. In addition the express and freight charges will bring the total cost to about 100$ more than has been sub s,ribed. The people of the county at large are asked at this time for help in making up this balance. Subscrip- tions may be sent to Commissioner J. H. Rosenberg, Kingman.

Chloride Jack Dead

Last Wednesday H. A. Owens, known all over the Pacific coast as "Chloride Jack" Owens, died at the Sisters Hospital in Prescott, where he had been placed nearly a month ago, his death being due to general debility and dropsy. He was aged about 65 years.
 Owens was one of the original dis cOverers of the great McCracken mine, in the south part of the county, from which he realized about 1OO,OOO$. He was liberal while his money lasted, but eventually it was dissipated, and his declining years found him low in purse and unable to work. He was cared for by friends and his last days made as comfortable as possible. He left wife in San Francisco and son to mourn his loss.
 In the death of Owens the west loses one of it's pioneers, trail buil(e CT that braved the desert heat and the Indian arrow in quest of gold and ad- venture. It was by such men as "Chloride Jack" that the Indian country is now safe habtation for the miner and husbandman. May he rest well under the sod of the glorious territory of his adoption.

The fire alarm was sounded just about noon Wednesday and it was found that the homes of the Mexican railroad section men were on fire. The fire was caused by the explosion of a stove and the poor Mexicans lost all of their possessions. The houses were built of ties and made quite hot fire, but as they stood off by themselves there was no danger of anything else catching. A freight train that was in the yard had to back their train and remain on the track until the fire died down so that they could pass without danger of setting the cars on fire. The houses burned belonged to the rail. road company.
 In the U. s. court, Prescott, last Wednesday, the cause of U. S. against Fred Leonard was called and that de- fendent not answering to his name his bond, in the sum of 500$. was declared forfeited. Leonard was bound over in that sum on a charge of selling liquor to Indians. It is possible that Leon- ard failed to learn of the setting of the court and can purge himself of any intent to create forfeiture of the bond, and that only the cost of the at tachment will be fixed against the bondsmen.

WASHINGTON, Dec Most pros
porous of all years Is the place to which
1909 is entitled in agriculture, declares
the secretary Of agriculture in his thir-
tenth annual report, just made public.
The value of farm products is so incom-
~prehensibly large that it has become
merely a row of figures. For this year
it is So, 760, 000, 900, a gain of $869, 000, 900
over 1908. The value of the products
has nearly doubled in ten years. The
report avs: Eleven years Of agricul-
ture, beginning with a production of
4,417 200, 600 n ending with IS, 760, 000,-
900! A sum of &c. 600. 600, $$s for the Pc
riod. 1t has paid off mortgages, 1t has
established banks, it has made better
homes, 1t has helped to make the farmer
a citizen of the world, and it has pro-
yided him with means for improving his
soil and making 1t more productive"
The most striking fac in the worlds
agriculture is the value OF the corn
crop for 1909, which is about 81. 720 .000,-
600. It nearly equals the value of the
clothing and personal adornments of
76,000,0 900 people, according to the census
of 1900.
Cotton is now the second crop in
value. and this years cotton crop is
easily the most valuable one to the
farmer that has beer produced. With
cotton lint selling at 1871 cents on the
farm November l, and with cotton seed
selling for about SIS per ton, the lint
and seed of this crop are worth about
$3.50, 600. 900 to the farmer.
Third in value is wheat, worth about
$725, 900, 900 at the farm, and this largely
exceeds all previous values.
The hay crop Is valued at $685., 900, 900.
oats at s40o. DOC. 900, potatoes at $212.-
600. 900, and tobacco at nearly s100. O0O.-
900. Beet and zane sugar and molasses
and syrup, from farm and factory, will
reach the total of about $95. 200, 900. The
barley crop is worth 1888. 900, 900. faxseed
s36. 100000 and 1000, 00o, 900 pounds of rice
S25,0 900, 900.

MAINE SENDS ITS FIRST
LOAD OF CHRISTMAS TREES
Twelve Hundred Arrive on Car and Are Stored in South Street
Freight Yards to Await Rest of Big Shipment,
Which Will Be Enough to Supply All.

The first carload of 1000 Christmas
trees arrived in this city from Maine
today. This is an unusually early date

intending the cutting and shipping. The
big lots of trees are bought standing at
so much an acre.
The market men are unanimously Of
the opinion that the supply of trees this
year will be enough to fill all orders,
and consequently cheap. Last Christ
mas the prices were exceedingly high.
The supply ran out days before Christ
mas, and manv dealers who had cedar
trees to be used for outside decorations
sold them for homes at an average price
OF SIPS. This year, they say, the best
tree in the market can be bought for
from 70 cents to 81. The shipments of
holly wreaths and mistletoe will not be-
gin to come into the city until a week
or SO before Christmas.

BROODING OVER LOVE AFFAIR
DRIVES GIRL TO SUICIDE.
Ends Life by Taking Gas on Eve
of Wedding.

ELIZABETH, Dec. 1.-Brooding. it
was said today, over a love affair, led
Miss Nellie Hummer, of 126 Smith
street, t take her life by inhaiing gas
at her home. An ambulance from the
General Hospital was summoned, but
the young woman died before 1t ar
rived. According to friends she was
engaged to be married in the near fu-
ture.
Miss Hummer did not appear at the
breakfast table. Her mother waited
some time and then, becoming worried,
investigated. She found the young
woman lying on her bed with a gas
tube in her mouth.
About two weeks g the girl was
found lying in a semi-copscious condi-
tion upon the porch of her home. A
physician was called, and he found that
she seemed to be suffering from a drug.
No traces of her having used a drug
were found. and an injection of strych-
nine served to bring her back t a
normal condition. The following day
her condition had greatly improved, and
the incident was forgotten.
