It has been a good while since we
have had anything on the subject ol
good roads. No doubt because the
roads have been. and are now SC
terribly bad that nothing good car
be- said of them. In the opinion o.

disgrace to any self-respectlng PEG
ple. The idea of inviting settlers t'
come TO a country where the averag
rate of travel in a buggy, during th'
winter. is from two and a hall u

would it not be better to max

risk Of having to call in a surgeo

THE CONSTITUTION

The constitutional convention fin
ished its labors Friday with the
adoption and signing of the consti-
tuition.
The constitution for the new
State of Arizona is the best that has
ever yet been proposed for any
State. 1t has been written directly
for the best interests of the people
of Arizona, and will be acceptable
to everyone, except the corporations.
1t is noticeable fact that all op-
position to the constitution comes
from those. newspapers controlled
by the big corporations.
E. E. Ellinwood, democrat, re-
fused to sign the constitution. Mr.,
Ellinwood was so radical in his views
that the convention was forced to
turn down his propositions, and as
a result Mr.. Ellinwood became dis
gruntled and refused to sign. 1t is
pity that such a man as Ellinwood
was ever elected a delegate, for he

A CHINAMAN ON AMERICA

You cannot civilize these Ameri-
cans. They are beyond redemption.
They will go weeks and months
without touching a mouthful of rice,
but they eat flesh of bullocks and
sheep in enormous quantities. That
is why they smell so badly; they
smell like sheep themselves. Every
day they take a bath to rid them
selves of their disagreeable odors,
but they do not succeed. Nor do
they eat their meat cooked in small
pieces. 1t is carried into the room
in large chunks, often half raw, and
then they cut and slash and tear it
apart They eat with knives and
prongs; it makes a civilized being
perfectly nervous, One fancies him
self in the presence of sword-swal-
lowers. They have no sense of dig
nifty, for they may be found walking
with women. They even sit down
at the same table with women, and
the latter are served first. Yet the
women are to be pitied, too. On
festive occasions, which Americans
call balls, they are dragged around
a room to the accompaniment of
the most hellish music

made it plain that he was not there
in the interests of the people.
The. election for the adoption of
the constitution will be held Feb
ruary 9th.
1t would be good idea if Gov
ernor Sloan would return from
Washington without delay, and do
some work for which he is paid as
governor of the Territory, instead
of trying to poison the minds of
congressman against the constitu-
ton for the new State.

CENSUS OF 1910

According to the census returns
compiled by the Census Bureau,
and now made public, Arizona's S pop
ulation is 204, ,354, an increase of
66.2 per cent. since the census of
1900. During the past ten years
Arizona has added 81 ,423 people to
its, population.
The growth in population of the
whole country has been marvellous.
The increase since 1900 being
16,145,521, or 20.9 per cent. This
does not include the PHILIPPINES, or
other Pacific possessions, or the
Panama zone. The total population
of the United States, with all it's
possessions. is about 101, 100000.
The country is gaining fast in
population, due to natural increase
from births and the great number
of emigrants from foreign lands,
who have come to the republic dur
ing the past ten years.
With the increase of population
has come the increase in business Of
all kinds, better organization of the
workingmen in the trades and other
lines of labor. and a general ad-
vancement of the people for better
ments of all kinds.
% We are a great country and Ari-
zona is the greatest state in the
Union.

ARIZONA PIONEERS HOME
Is Completed and Ready fo,
Occupancy

All indications are that Henry
Rockmark, the contractor who is
building the Arizona Pioneers
Home at Prescott will complete his
contract on schedule time. He
undertook to finish the building by
December 10th of this year, and the
work is practically done, with the
exception of the installation of a
few pillars. The home will be open
for occupancy December 10Th.
The legislature appropriated $685.
600 to build the home, and naturally
a small building had to be erected.
1t was put up in such a way, how
ever that it can be doubled in ca
pacity without destroying it's archi-
tectural beauty. When complete
the present building will accommo-
date forty inmates.

THE MIRACES

Across the painted desert,
Toward the burning skies,
From plains of phantom verdue
Their purple peaks arise.
The mist along their SUBMITS
A scarf Of silver trails,
From cliff to cliff the waters
Fling down their foamy wells.
From Arizona's furnace
Of arid sands and stones,
And dusty cactus gardens
Strewn thick with bleaching bones,
The traveller at sunrise
Beholds their ramparts gay,
And seeks their cooling shadows
To see them fade away.
Ghost mountains of the mesas,
No living foot can climb
Their canyons bright with blossoms
Or lodges dark with thyme.
For there the desert victims,
$50 say the Navajos),
Who die of thirst and hunger.
Alone may find repose.

ARTESIAN WATER
Struck in San Simon Station
at Depth Of Six Hun
dred Feet

Artesian water has been struck
at San Simon station on the Southern
Pacific Railroad. The flow is not
large, but the fact that any water
at all is forced naturally to the sur
face is demonstration of the pres
ence there of artesian water, and as
a consequence there is much ex-
citement in the vicinity.
The well is about 600 feet in
depth, and is the property of the
San Simon Townsite Company. 1t
is situated close to the railroad
track in the town of San Simon,
and perhaps not more than so yards
from the depot.
A few days ago the water rose in
the well to within 8 inches of the
surface. and on boring through an
other thin stratum Of earth the
water was forced to the surface.
The size of the casing is 7 inches.
The soil in the neighborhood of
San Simon is as fertile as that to be
found anywhere; the land is ideally
situated and requires practically
no clearing, and there remains yet
a vast acreage of free government
land subject to homesteading, as
well as large tracts, centrally To-
Gated, that are already filed on,
some of which eventually will be
divided into small tracts and placed
on the market by means of scrip
proceedings or otherwise. With
artesian water in quantity sufficient
for general use for irrigation pur-
poses, the farming industry there
would grow like a mushroom and
that section would be the mecca for
thousands from all portions of the
Union.
Added to these prospects, oil has
been discovered in the same valley
near Bowie, only sixteen miles dis
tant, and there are said to be good
reasons for believing that San
Simon is in the center of a great
oil belt which may eventually rival
those of Texas and California.
1t is no wonder. therefore. that
the people of San Simon and that
portion of the San Simon va,ley are
very optimistic as to the future.

THE LICENSE PROBLEM

Inc COWH cOuHcH Heiu dH OpcH
meeting Monday evening for the
purpose of getting the views of the
business men on the question of
raising sufficient revenue to meet
the expenses of the town for the
coming year.
The deficit in the town funds
caused by the closing of the saloons
has made it necessary for the town
council to readjust the licenses for
the different businesses now carried
on within the Incorporated limits Of
the town, in order to meet this
deficit.
The meeting Monday night was
largely attended and the proposed
increases in. the licenses, prepared
by the council, was discussed.
The schedule proposes raise in
license for every business, with the
view of securing about $1,000. the
amount estimated for the town ex-
penses for the year 1911, for keep
ing up the streets, sprinkling, new
improvements and other incidental
expenses incurred in the admins
tration of the town government.
After the schedule was read,
their was some discussion on the
kind of stock that should be carried
in general merchandise store that
would not interfere with a business
that incurred a great amount of la
Dor or professional skill, such as the
jewelry business. There was also
some discussion on the question of
the sale of drugs by stores other
than the regular drug stores.
On other lines Of business. such
as harness. hardware, cigars and
tobaccos, fruits and candies, paints,
oils, etc., the schedule called for
distinct license where they were
carried in stores in addition to their
regular stock.
1t was evident to the business
men that the town council is trying
to solve the license problem 50 that
it will not become a burden and
that the expense of keeping up the
streets and making the necessary
improvements that must occur from
time to time, should be equally dis
tributed among the different busi-
nesses. q
The question Of property tax
was brought up and also discussed,
but the amount that would be raised
by such tax, under the law, would
not be sufficient to meet expenses,
and it was dropped from further
consideration.
The town council will now go over
the schedule and make such revision |
of the list deemed necessary for
making the licenses just to every |
business, and to put same into force
