 Governor Hunt has appointed
 Hon. Thomas B. Parish of Phoe-
 nix, to be state historian, to fill the vacancy caused by the re- SignatiOn of Miss Sharlot Hall a year ago. It is no discredit to any of those who have previous ly held the position to say that Mir. Parish will more than fill the vacancy, for he is preemi- nently qualified to be state his torian.
