RULES FOR CORRESPONDENTS.

Here are ten rules for country corre- spoudents. They were prepared by an experienced newspaper man. Cut them out and keep them Then try to make your next letter to The Prospector" conform with all the rules:
 l. Do not abbreviate Do not write MT. & Mrs. but MT. and Mrs. and not Mon. or Sat. but Monday or Saturday.
 ?. Leave space between items for cor rections or additions.
 3. Give both initials. Write C. H. Brown instead of MT. Brown or MT. C. H. Brown.
 f. Write important subjects fully. Do not dismiss the death of a well known pioneer in half dozen words, but write something of interest concern ing him II suicide or murder give all the details you can get.
 5. Have verbs agree with subjects. Don't say MT. and Mrs. B. was but Mir. and Mrs. B. were. MT. and Mrs. B. may be one scripturally. But they are two grammaticaiiy.
 6 Don't use nicknames. Use James Brown instead of Jim Brown, Edward instead of Ed,
 :. Give the time in an item. Mir Brown was in Lansing, the house burn ed down, are incomplete. Tell when things happened.
 8. Divide words correctly. Don't divide such words as enough, enough.
 g. Don't send articles refiecting np- on the character of indi, idurls or firms. The newspaper is not looking for libel suits; neither does it care to right your personal wrongs
 10. Write your name and town at top of page. Last but most important rule of all It is most essential that the newspaper knows from whom the news $ received and from what place
 Imp ,rtant suggestion though not a rule: Carefully look over your news after it is published and note what changes had to be made
 While the ten rules given above arr important as relating to written news. yet there is one rule supersedes them all-Teiephone really important mems at once.

TO ADVERTISE RE-
 SOURCES OF COCH|sE

DOUGLAS, March 26-The re- sources of Cochise county will be ad- vertised in an issue of 25,OOO booklets of approximately 40 pages each. filled with descriptions of the various min ing. stock raising and agricultural dis tricts: that is if the supervisors follow the recommendation of Joseph H. Gray. chairman. and Oscar K. C. H.. secretary. Of the Cochise County Im- migration board. The conference was held here yesterday afternoon. Gray having come here for that purpose.
 As models of former booklets, they had before them a recent issue of one of the northern counties of the state. which they deemed too small, and the last booklet issued in Cochise, which they thought was far too elaborate and expensive. In the forty pages they will propose to the board, both felt that with proper conservation the re- sources of ,he county could be iilusfrat- ed and described. mother words both decided in favor of a business write-up rather than su essay.

YUMA AND PHOENIX
 MIX OVER BOROERLAND

Yuma is sore about the way Phoenix is handling the Borderland route. and justly 90 if all accounts are correct.
 Phoenix is trying to straddle the situ. ation. and instead of coming out flat footed for the best route. is trying to play both ends against the middle. IL is well known and positive fact that the Borderland. passing through Fl Paso. Deming. Lordsburg. Douglas, Bisbee. Tombstone. Tucson and on to Phoenix. is the only "all year trans continental motor route" that is open all the year for traffic, and the double cross actions of Phoenix are being re- buked.
 Yuma county. with her S550. .OOO. co road money recently acquired. is about to construct the road direct to Tucson along the line of the Southern Pacific. Yuma with her bridge and big backing h Calisrnia. is apt to put Phoenix on another side line unless she plays fair with the Borderland route. Yuma also calls attention to the fact that Phoenix gave the Borderland route a dap last year when she selected the Needles-Barstow route for the race from Los Angeles. which has been freely admitted both in Phoenix and Los Angeles to have been a bad move. If . race is run this year it will be by way of Yuma. as Los Angeles has de- serted the northern route after having attempted in vain to establish it as the best.
