We acknowledge an invitation to
attend the Arizona Press Associa
tion, which will meet at Phenix on

be there and make the acquaintance

Mr. Mansur of Missouri, who is
member of the house committee to

that bodr has mapped out its re

enabling acts for the admission of
New Mexico and Arizona to stale
hood. That will dispose of them
as far as the committee is concern
ed. As for Utah, we shall report
against statehood but in favor of
autonomy. That is, we shall bring
in a bill to let Utah elect her own
Governor and other territorial offi
cers by vote of the people, but she
will not be allowed representation
in the Senate or House save as at
present by Delegate The United
States courts and laws will remain
unchanged. The committee,! think,
is pretty well agreed on this, but
e will wait to hear a delegation
which will be here in a few days."
There will be an adverse report as
to the admission of Oklahoma.
Speaking of the condition of
stock generall3r in New Mexico, the
Stock Grower says: Throughout
eastern and northeastern New Mex
ico, below the mesns, cattle are in
splendid condition and the range
is better than it has been for years.
Through central and southern New
Mexico the situation is not so fav
orable, owing to last summer's
drouth and the recent heavy snows
in the western central portion of
the territory ; but the losses it is
now almost certain will not be as
great as anticipated earlier in the
season, lor the ground is in such
condition as to assure early grass.
In the northern portion of the ter
ritory, where the snows were very
deep, the loss will be considerable,
but not nearly so much as they
would have been several years ago,
when the only reliance was on the
open range, for now a majority of
the slock raisers are prepared to
feed more or less, and many thou
sands of cattle have thus been saved
this year.

T. S. Bullock has telegraphed the
managers of the Phenix, Prescott

to New York and the transfer will
be made, and in obedience to this
dispatch Messrs, Dicky & Robinson
have gone to New York to close the
trade with Mr, Bullock. When the
contract was awarded to Lantry &

the contractor was to complete his

A. M; Goudey arrived from San
Francisco last Sunday evening, and
spent several days among his manT
friends here. Mr. Goudey is still
in the employ of Lux and Miller, of
that city, as buyer, and the main
object of his visit at this time was
to look over the range country with
a view to purchasing a lot of 3roung
steers for the Nevada ranges of his
compaii3'. He visited other sections
before coming here, but decided that
nowhere else could he do as well as
here, and will return next month to
purchase 2,000 head. He reports a
great shortage in the state of Neva
da, amounting to from 30,000 to 40,-
000 head, and to supply this defi
ciency, southern Arizona will have
to furnish the whole number. Mr.
Goudey returned to California

others below tho line. They were

pounds each. The duty of $10 was
paid on them and the purchaser
gave $2.50 per 100 on foot. This
nets the cattleman $15per head.

was found near the depot evidently
waiting for a freight train just about

TEACHER'S COLUMN"
Importance of Yocal Cnltnre.
There is no more important branch ol
instruction in our public schools than
that which tends to the proper devel
opment of the vocal organs, and to the
correciion of bad habits in tone and
quality of voice. Good reading cannot
be attained, except in rare individual
cases, unless considerable attention is
given to voice culture from the very
lowest grade. At first it maybe a mere
imitation on the part of the child, as
indeed it is, but even in this stage of
the child's progress, the teacher's cor
rect tone and accent, with distinct
enunciation, is a powerful influence for
culture. This fact is especially notice
able m schools composed largely of
children of foreign parentage, who have
heard nothing but their native tongue
at home, and the poorest of broken
English among their playmates. Imi
tation is then the only method which
the teacher can use to correct their
faults in reading and speaking. The
teachers must be to them an example,
a copy, a standard, which they are to
strive to reach.
County School Superixtexdext.
To the Teachers of Apache County.
I am much pleased with the privi
lege we have, of occupying some space
in Tub Herald upon educational mat
ters. Much credit is due our County
Superintendent iu bringing this matter
about, and we will all, no doubt, be
willing to respond cheerfully, so that
an abundance of matter will be con
stantly on hand, with which to fill the
allotted space.
It occurs to me that inasmuch as an
efFort is being made to have Arizona ad
mitted as a state, that our teachers, as
well as others, should prepare for the
changed condition.
We can scarcely expect, in our scat
tered condition and our five and six
months school during the year, to com
pare favorably with the older and
wealthier portions of our coantry; but,
as they all passed through this period
at some time in their history, we can
profit by their experience.
By exchanging ideas, giving short
sketches of our different programmes,
our methods of obtaining and main
taining good order in the school room
our plans of presenting the different
studies to the class, so as to cause the
greatest amount to be retained in the
mind of the pupil how best to develop
the teacher, as well as the pupil, so that
each succeeding year will find them
better able to instruct and improve
those who are placed in their charge.
I am of the opinion that if enough of
the teachers of this county, to make it
interesting, would gather at some point
during the summer vacation, and spend
about one mouth in preparation for the
coming year's work the expenses
would be but nominal that much good
would result therefrom. Almost anvof
our settlements would offer induce
ments to have such a gathering in their
midst. Our County Superintendent
could arrange for an institute, and I
think he would find plenty of material
to carry out his plans, without going to
much expense in importing it.
I would be pleased to hear from my
friends on the last named subject,
Wishing you all success in your labors,
I am yours fraternally,

Twice-a-Wee!c for One Dollar a Year.
The "Twicc-a-Week" edition of The
St. Louis Republic is unquestionably
the best and cheapest National news
ournal published in the United States.
It is issued on Tuesday and Friday of

ing the four winter months each tissue
contains eight pages, making sixteen
pages a week, and no week's issue dur
ing the year is less than fourteen pages
of seven columns each. Five separate
editions are printed, one each for Mis
souri, Illinois, Texas, Arkansas and
Kansas, and a general edition for other
States, containing nothing but details
of important events, of interest every
where. The Republic is the leading
Democratic paper of the country, and
has a Special Tariff Department, edited
by Hon. Wm, L. Wilson, M. C, with
contributions from other distinguished
Democratic leaders. It will be indis
pensable during the great political cam
paign of 1S92. Remember the price,
only one dollar a year for two papers
every week. Sample copies will be sent
