 It IS reported that under the new system of dispatching trains by tele- phone the Santa Fe is to cut out many of | the small offices on the Arizona divi- sions. The axe is said to have fallen on McConnico, Wallapai. Crozier, Peach Springs, Nelson, Yampai, and some other small stations that have been carrying from one to two opera tors. At these places trainmen will
  have to take their own orders It is probable that this new order of things may prove disastrous, as many people will misunderstood orders given direct owing to lack of knowledge of the phone.
 The passage of the statehood bill had no appreciable effect on the peo- pie of Kingman, although one and all appeared pleased that the measure had become law. The fact that the election would be deferred to possibly next year created a damper on the as pirations of candidates for county off cers. although this phase of the bill appears to be imperfectly understood. That the statehood bill is a reality is [ the one thing that the people desired a and all the other little kinks will [ themselves out as the years | roll. With statehood will come one [ of the greatest booms that Arizona a has known and our people who have property interests here will be well Q rewarded for their patient wait of i years. o Newspapers in summing up the ben ' efits of statehood advert to the fact that ! the Santa Fe railroad is now volun- tarily paying the sum of I75S per mile of trackage within the territory. and U that under statehood the road will be U taxed at the same rate as that of the II Southern Pacific, which is about H. u 1OOS per mile. The newspapers have overlooked the fact that the tax paid .. by the Santa Fe is not voluntary, con- u gress having passed law compelling U this payment. U Her statehood the i've northern counties of Arizona V, would receive approximately I45, 9OOS. Si instead of 29,OOOS, as at present. The p expense incidental to the installation u 'f state government will be quite r' l savy, but by devising a better meth. 'd of taxation the territory would ir iouble its receipts from all sources cC md make the new burden light. W ''It cured me-, or "It saved the life to If my child '' are tha avDraee;,,- - l Sr
