The boom will begin to boom
when t.he new North and South

The war between Japan and
China, which is now practically
ended, has been remarkable for one
thing, and that is that China never
won * battle on land or sea.
There are now unmistakable
evidences of a revival of business,
at least throughout the territory.
people should put their shoul
ders to the wheel and help along
th9 coming of good times.
Reports from the northern part
of the territory indicate that the
pine-olad hills and mountains up
there are heavily mantled with
the “beautiful,” which fact gives
assurance of au abundance of water
in onr streams; canals and ditches
hekt summer.
The railroad meeting which was
appointed to take place last Satur
day did not materialize, only three
or four persons being present. We
again repeat, if Mesa wants to be
iu the swim when the boom begins
to boom, her citizens must come to
the front with a full measure of
enterprise and public spirit.
Judge Welds Henderskott, the
originator and promoter of the
great Hudson reservoir, is here on
the-ground and is getting together
all the supplies needed to begin
actively the construction of that
gigantic scheme. Bids will be
asked the first week in January for
construction of the great work.
The San Francisco Chronicle
says: The gold reserve is down to
$88,900,310, the Withdrawals since
December Ist amounting to $28,-
576,275. The prospects are that
before the Ist of January next
every dollar of the amount paid in
by the syndicates for the $50,000,-
000 five per cent bonds will be
withdrawn by the same set of men
who only a few days ago were pro
claiming themselves as public bene
factors beoanse they helped streng
then'the gold reserve. This is an
age of humbugs.
The Flagstaff people have shown
their public spirit and enterprise
by extending a good, solid . and
substantial patronage to its news
papers, The Sun has been en
couraged to issue a daily, which
comes to us bright, newsey and
with the rose blush of prosperity
upon its face. > Patronage makes a
newspaper the same as it does a
store or other business, and the
same as good crops and good prices
does a farm. With a public
spirited clientage such as the Sun
has we can predict for it a long
and useful career.

The initial weeks of the coming
season lead us to believe that the
outlook in an agricultural way was
never so bright as it is now.
Abundant crops with a competing
railroad to transport our Urge sur
plus to market, will start pros
perity to pulsating vigorously in
the purses of the farmers and
everybody else. ■
THE FINANCIAL QUESTION.
The above qm>stion is the ab
sorbing topic nowadays throughout
the entire country as well as in
Washington. Almost every mail
has a scheme for the relief of the
country from the financial tight
ness. . Carlisle’s plan meets with
much opposition, and possibly will
not be endorsed by. Congress. The
San Francisco Chronicle makes the
following comments upon a speech
made by Representative Sickels in
advocacy of Carlisle’s scheme:
Representative Sickels, who
seems to take kindly to what are
called the principles of. Carlisle’s
new_ currency scheme, entertained
the House on Friday with refer
ences to the beneficial effects which
would follow the retirement of the
legal tenders and other paper Cur
rency emitted by the Government.
He says two evils threatened the
country, one of which was the
serious drain of gold from the
Treasury as a result of the out
standing legal tenders This
menace, he thinks, could be re
moved by returning to the sound
principles of the days before the
war. To apeak of the sound prin
ciples of finance that prevailed be
fore the war in the United States
is enough to mak? a horse laugh.
What with wildcat hanking, and a
constant menace of the suspension
of specie payments, the buainbss of
the United States was always in a
precarious condition in the years
immediately preceding the war.
But that is neither here nor there.
Instead of invoking history, Sickels
should tell an anxious country how
the banks will manage to maintain
an effective gold reserve if the
proposition to permit them to issue
a hundred dollars . worth of notes
for every thirty dollars of legal
tenders paid in by them carries.
The temptation so take advantage
of such liberal provisions is likely
to prove very great, auJ it would
not be at all surprising if all of the
legal tenders were used for the
purpose of expanding the bank note
circulation, in which event we
would have three dollars worth of
redeemable paper money to every
dollar now in existence in this
country. In that event, where
would the gold necessary, to main
tain an effective reserve come from!
And how long, without such a re
serve, would A great-mass of paper
money issued by private batiks be
kept at. par 1
