use of printers ink. Austin Tribune
A clear statement of a fact that is being recognized every
where. A good deal of intervention talk that is going on is super
heated atmosphere, or else done tor political effect. When the
whole United Stites army and the militia is lined up along the
border from California to the Gulf of Mexico, then look out
for intervention, but until that time there is no need to worry

made Mark Smith for vice president, Arizona would make il
almost unanimous.
It is to be hoped the couniy seat removal schemers wil'
not succeed in juggling with this measure in the legislature and
its provisions modified to such an extent that county seats will
not be placed in jeopardy and at the mercy ot real estate
sharks.

Comparatively few people are aware of the agricultural
development that is going on in Arizona, especially in the
southern part of the state; not in the valleys, those narrow but
rich areas where for years it was thought the agricultural ac
tivities of Arizona would be forever confined. A great deal

claimable, to say nothing of what is being done in such stretch
es as the San Simon and Sulphur Spring valleys, where there
was no apparent possibility of securing water for irrigation.
A great enterprise is now in progress along the line of the
Southern Pacific east of Maricopa. Stiil another is going
on farther east. There has been much activity in this county
and large acreages of land that were believed to be worthless
are now being brought under cultivation.
It may be predicted that within the nxt generation agri

the pioneers of the seventies will have seen the unexpected
happen. Tucson Star.
There is now provi-ion in an old statute for an annual

and this money is, ol coure, set aide each vear; so the sum

Politics is full of the unexpected. For instance, you would
have supposed that Massachusetts, the taaditional home of
learning and culure. the seat of
ine country, wouia nave Deen strong tor Wilson, the scholar- in

Texas, many years nearer the frontier to favor the rough and

steadily transferring itself to the west for the last century.
Within a'few weeks active construction work will b'giri
on the Pinal Mutual Irrigation company's canal, thus insuring
the early reclamation of $10,000 acres of land, tributary to
