“Arizona will be admitted to
statehood before the present'session
of congress adjourns,” said A. C.
Baker, Chief Justice of the Sup re me
; Court of Arizona, at the Occidental
j Hotel last evening. “The pub
| in hod statement that the people of
i Arizona are not in favor of being
j admitted to the union is totally
without foundation. It is the rare
exception where a resident of the
territory is not heartily anxious.for
the senate to pass the bill, and we
ere all confident that us soon as
the tariff bill and a few other
measures that at present seem to
have the right of way can be laid
aside for a day the bill would pass
the senate by as popular a vote as
saw its passage in the house. Then
Arizona will see an era of prosperity
such as it has never experienced
before.”
Judge Baker is very enthusiastic
on the question of the territory’s
welfare and is exerting every ef
fort, in company with the other
prominent men of the territory, to
secure the territory’s admission to
the union.
“Very few people outside of the
territory understand how we are
hampered by the Harrison Act,” he
said. “We are not permitted to
incur an indebtedness beyond 4 per
cent of the assessed valuation of
our property, and as a result we
cannot build bridges or courthouses,
or expend any money for improve
ments. However, a wonderful
progress has been made in the de
velopment of the district about
Tucson recently. The north and
south railroad, as we call it., has
but sixty more miles to cover to
| reach Phoenix, and we expect to
| see the road completed this fall.
Phoenix has already commenced to
feel the effects of the railroad’s ap
proach. There has been an active
stir in the past six weeks, and a
number of mining sales in the dis
trict about Prescott have been re
corded lately. I believe there is
more prospecting beiug done in
Arizona at the present than at any
previous time in the history of the
territory, and many small ledges
that have heretofore b *en ignored
are being grabbed up rapidly.”
Judge Baker says he is intensely
sorry that Arizona made so feeble
an effort to exhibit its resources at
the Midwinter Fair and is confident
that the territory is losing the
greatest opportunity in its history
of advertising itself. “You see, we
were taken in on the World’s
fail. Some $30,000 was subscribed
and it was squandered on an ex
hibit that is not to be compared
with the one we have at the Mid
winter Fair. And that only cost
SI,OOO. But I don’t think it is
too late to improve our exhibit
here. I intend returning to Ari
zona next week, and if [ don’t suc
ceed in alarming the people into a
state of activity, I will be sur
prised at myself. I think we can
get up a good exhibit of raisins,
grapes and oranges by the expendi
ture of $5,000, and I propose to
try it.”—S F. Chronicle. •

It is estimated that over 3,000,

The wool product of the Unite 1
States increased from 1860 to 1870
168.81 percent.; from 1870 to 1880
43.52 per cent.; from 1880 to 1890
18.71 per cent.; from 1890 to 1892
652 per cent. The total increase
from 1850 to 1892 was 387 84 per
cent. Oonsumytion increased same
time 414.98 per cent. The London
board of trade estimates the world s
production between 1860 and 1889
increased 100 per cent. Wages of
219,132 employes of American
woolen' industries amounts to near -
ly 877,000,000 annually.. Their
work quadruples the value of about
830,000,000 worth of wool used.
The representatives of the French
and Scotch syndicates who intend
placing a colony of wine producers
near the mouth of the Colorado
river, have returned to Ynma after
having made a careful survey of the
streams which leave the Colorado
that can be used for irrigating the
great valley of the Colorado west
to the main range of mountains.

The ordinary method of con
struction by which the Spanish
writer places adjectives after nouns
sometimes has a droll effect, if he
chances to adopt English words
into his composition. Thus it cer
tainly sounds odd to read in La
Nacion that the congress of the
United States has finally disposed
of the dangerous Bill Sherman;”
and in II Comercio, of Lima, that
“the American congress committee
has voted for Bill Wilson to kill
Bill McKinley.”—Ex.
A gentleman had invited some
friends to dinner, and as a colored
servant entered the room he acci
dently dropped a platter which
held a turkey. “My friends,” said
the gentleman in the most impres
sive tones, “never in my life have
I witnessed an event so fraught
with disaster in the various nations
of the globe. In this calamity we
see the downfall of Turkey, the
upsetting of Greece, the destruction
of China, and the humiliation of
Africa.”—Ex.
It is extremely doubtful whether
Arizona will have the pleasure of
voting for a Governor this fall. In
fact the conservative ones say there
is no hope any more for statehood
this summer. We are satisfied,
however, that so long as the guber
natorial chair is filled by a Demo
crat, no better man in the party
could he found than Gov. Hughes,
in that party. He goes about
things in away that shows he
means business. —Valley News.

defendant would not sew on this
defendant’s buttons neither would

was cruel and inhuman. —St. Louis
