Our Sclio-' 1 ijnsiem.
To those who regard Arizona as I
only a wild and uncultivated do
main it may lie of interest to know
that this territory in matters of
education is a striking example of
the American idea of what consti
tutes civilization and progn ss
The public schools and system of
free education nre equal to any:
! Spate in the Union, (and yet Ari
zona is not a state.)
The schools are maintained by a
direct tax levied on the people at
the r«te of 15 cents on the hundred
dollars. Arizoua has the distinc
tion of paying more money, per
capita fo<- the education of her
children than any other stato or
territory except California and j
Dakota, the rate beingsl2 for each
census child. Not only are these
sighificent facts as based upon the
number of census children, but it is
further of credit to know that Ari
zona pays more per capita for chil
dren in actual attendance at school
than any eastern, northern or
southern state, the amount being
$38.68.
Referring to the foregoing state
ments as respecting the educational
status of Arizona, the bear’ng they
have on admission to statehood is
suggested. In the intelligence o f
its people and in the extent, char
acter and wealth of its resources
are to be found the elements neces
sary to constitute a commonwealth
capable of splendid achievements
and great development. Conversa
tion with her thinking citizens
leads to the conclusion that there
are the most influential considera
tions in determining the question
of becoming a state rather than
politics. Give us, they say, state
hood, and the best energies of a
patriotic people will be aroused to
build up here in this sunkissed
land a commonwealth that shall be
come the home of thousands of the
best citizens of the older states. —
Los Angeles Times.
A very fair index can be hadof
what is going on in the surround -

to tile S. F. P. & P. depot, where
teams are constantly loading from
cars tilled with lumber, coal, sup
plies and all manner of machinery,
not to raenion railroad iron, ties,
etc., stacked up in every direction,
which gangs of men are busy assort
ing and loading on flat cars to be
forwarded to the front. A couple
of big engines can be seen most of
the time moving backwards and
forwards in the yards making up
tra n Jmd transferring freight,—

The Lincoln pu\y went out in

Barrett Po-d, G. A. R., and many
citizens. They expressed them
selves well pleased with our cli

commended the substantial manner
in which the S. F. P. & P is con

The ret ur.ling confidence in
money centers should not be lost
sight of by the people of Arizona,
and every proposition looking to
the investment of capital in our
many dormant industries should be
•neouraged and fostered to the ut
most. There are many people in
the east with surplus money who
are only awaiting an opportunity
ro .nvest it in a safe and legiti
mate enterprise. —Enterprise.

’ From an interview in the Tucson
' 81 r with Territorial Secretary
Brucn, we make the following ex
ei rp :
“Upon the completion of the
new road, the Salt R.v«r valley
will be iu direct communication
with the east, and rates, 1 have »<>
doubt, will be decreased consider
a'»ly. Jf you will rememoer,
Southern California was little
known us a fruit—gro ving sec ion
I till the present excellent railroad
facilities w<-Te at hand. 1 consider
the Salt River valley better adapt
ed to the raising of onng*s, al~
, monds, grapes, etc., than Southern
California. The climatic conditions
in Arizona are more favorable, th *
dryness of the atmosphere and the
bright sunshine, causing fruit in
-h valiiy to ripen at least two
weeks before that in California
does. A man cannot realize this
till he has taken a trip to Mesa.
There, the vineyards look "Vastly
better , than the far-famed vine
yards of Fresno; the orange or
chards than those of sunny River
side and Redlands. The frui%
grown at Mesa seems to be of a
better flavor than the California
article.
“In my opinion, the Salt’ River
valley is destined to become one of
the great fruit-growing centers of
the west. Eastern capitalists are
becoming more and moretinterested
there, and are investing heavily in
enterprises looking to the develop
ment of the varied resources of
that section.”
The recent iow prices received
for fruit have again started the
question of whether fruit growing
pays. It needs but careful inves
tigation to show that it does, pay,
and “pays big,” even in such years
as these. Here is an actual state
ment from a Santa Clara fruit
grower named Booksin, as given
’oy him to the .Willows Journal :
“ Let me give you a few figures,and
these figures are based on the lowest
prices ever received for fruit in
California, viz.: Peaches at 1 cent
per pound, prunes at less than 5
cents per pound, and other fruits
proportionately low. Th»s year I
received a check for $25,000 for
the fruit product of eighty acres of
land divided up as follows: SII,BOO
for the fruit of twenty-nine acres
of prunes; $3,200 for the crop from
six acres of cherries, and the bal
Alice of the $25,000 for the rest of
the eighty acres of assorted fruit.
I was offered $1,200 per acre for
my eighty acres, but I don’t want
to sell it that cheap.”
At the last gathering of the la
dies’ club of Tucson, an address was
delivered by the president upon
mb.n. The Prospector says the
following paragraphs were & part
of it:
“They say man was created 6r»t.
Well, suppose he was: were non
. first experiments always failures?
The only undeceitful thing about
[ him was a rib, and that went to
. make something better.
And then they throw into our
faces about taking an apple. I’ll
, bet $5 that Adam boosted her up
. the tree and then only gave her
the core.
And what did he do when he
was found out? True to his mas
culine instincts he sneaked behind
Eve’s Grecian Bend and said “it
wasn’t me; ’twas her,” and woman
has had to father everything mean
and mother it too.
