 There will be anotber great railroad into Southern California by i9l5- and it wiIl be ,he R"ck Island.
 This a.seItion has the backing of 6 railroad general manager who is in . position to spesk with authority. but for obvious ressons does not wish to be quoted.
 "I have it from one close to the Rock Island management that eur veys have been made from Tucson to San Diego and that an announce ment of the proposed work ~il be made shortly" stated this man. "Tbe packers of the new road are the R id- Moore and Phelps Dodge interests |, controlling the Rock Island and the Fl Psso and Southwestern systems.

A Douglas Taxpayer
 On County Seat Removal
Douglas, Ariz., Jane l, 1913.

Douglas, Ariz, Jane l, 1913. Editor PRosPEcroR
 It strikes me as Douglas taxpayer, c property holder oi both real and personal property, that there is an element in this county seat removal agitation, for that is all it is, simply agitation, that hs, not been considers ed and that i. the man who foots the bills-the man and woman who is on the tax rolls. Who has agitsted this matter? Not ( single taxpayer who pays over ten dollars county tax, with one or two exceptions. but the princi- pal sgitstors arc men who are not even on ihe tax roll for any amount l simply want to state to you that the people of the county who "foos tbe bills" need not be mi.led by the shouting of few men wbo want to profit at the expense of the tax pay ers- this county seat removal matter is not unanimous in Douglas and in three years from now the taxpayers will step in a d have their say. With the county seat here, Douglas would have a nice . Set of blood sucking, life sspping, politicians on tho job! No it is not all one way here.

Arizona Senator

A Washington dispatch says:-
 The first sens ors to testify today at the senate's investigation of the charge that lobby is working against the tsriff bill. declared they knew of no improper infi lences being exerted and of no use of money and had po. themselves attempted to improperly iufiuence other senators. All admit. ted they had talked with msnufac- turers interested in the tariff and had heard arguments aud pro,ests, but all considered such proceedings strictly legitimsts and none considered the men with whom they talked as lobby ists
 Senstor AshnYst of Arizona said however, that man named McMurry has been attempting to improperly influence senators against 6 move ment to cancel certain Indian con- tracts ny which McMurry is to stsnd to receive 8 ,5Oh, coo.

Proper Spirit on
 BorderIand Route

Much space is being devoted by the Arizona press as to the most iesssble, the most desirable route for the Ocean to Ocean Highway. which is sched- uled to pass through Arizona.
 Gentlemen ot the press. you are cn duly nervous and shonld take "quietsr" of grape juice. There is no occasion for beratipg one and the other. All of us look good when re- gsling before the mirror. Of course the PRosPEcToR feelr like eprucing up and acknowledging that we are IT when we are assured that the great highway will be determined along the sc cuthern border of Arizona, entering the state at Fl Paso, coming through Douglas. Bisbee and Tom bs,one and thence on to Tucson. Phoenix and Pacific coast points. But why all this worry? The Borderlsnd Route is acknowledged to be the ideal rosd- way, without advancing any other than natural conditions. but the PRosPECToR is not of 6 jealous dis position, and would favor that the tourists see ALL o: Arizona In this connection we scissor from the ed- itorial columns of the Coconino Sun she following generous and sensible excerpt:
 "The Sun believes that it is mighty poor policy to fight sgsinst any route through Arizona-our frs, fight is te land the main trail through Arizons then build to it. The Grand Csny on is one of the worlds greatest drawing cards for tourists. and knock it ss you may, the route through Arizona will come becsuse of it rather than becsuse O! the fact that e few more people live in southern Arizons than in the north"
 Editor Breen views ths question in c brosd and commendsble spirit, and we are pleased to note that he does not fall into rut that fois.ers hos,il- ity where amicability would best sub- serve the interests of Arizona at large. We want the Ocean to Ocean Highway we are not hiding behind 6 veil we have done nothing for which we are ashamed or for which we should blush. Wv want the people to visit and size us up and determine whether or not Arizona IS not making good.
 Editor Breen of the Coconino Sun hss the proper spirit and the aptitude | Of expression. While he admit. that we are tine big grain On the cob, he is DO, resentful when he aimits that he is . nubbin on the stslk. h ccn- clusion. we will say, while lsudipg our anie and respected eoatsD poIs:y, that he is right in his above outburst of honesty; the erudite gentleman comedies with us that the southern route is we'll chosen. following which we agree, that tourist ~ho visits Arizona and fails to view both Tomb stone on the south and the Grand Canyon on the north may be likenei to the guest who might tske a sand- wich to . banquet.
