CENSUS OF ARIZONA;
The following Bguren relatiae to the
census returns of Arizona have been
made publje:
The dopulation of Arizona is 122,-
212. showing an increase of 62,592,
or 104.9 per cent. The population of
the following places is. Chloride, 466;
Flagstaff, 1,271; G1bhe.1,495; Jerome,
2.861; Mesa, 722; Nogales, 1,761;
Pima, 522; Prescott, 3,559; Solomon
vi lie, 629; Tompa, 829; Thatcher, 644;
IVmibstone, Tucson, 7,531; Win
slowj 1,305; Yuma, 1 402.
If there is a man in Maricopa
county that is worthy of the suffrage
of the people, that man is N. A. Mor
ford. For twenty years through evil
and good report he has stood firmly
for Arizona and the Saft River valley.
His services as citizen and newspaper
publisher have been worth many
thousands of dollars to the county,
And if there is such a thing as grati
tude for services rendered, Mr. Mor
ford is entitled to every vote in the
county. The office di Probate Judge
is an important one 1 , and we do not
believe the people will make the mis
take of entrusting the duties to a
young and inexperienced man. Young
Mr. Langston so far as we know is a
very witty yoiing man but no man old
or young should be elected to so 'im
portant an office as that of Probate
Judge unless he is thoroughly known
which Mr. Langston is not, for he has
lived in our midst but a brief period
of time.—Gazette.
The Tempe NeWs says that the
Town Council has let a contract for
the construction of a good roadway
across the river bottom The work
was commenced this morning and the
mutenal being used is the cement
from the hills jußt north of the bridge.
This cement makes a road almost
equal to a paved street and when it
becomes thoroughly packed it is
almost as solid as a rock. Being laid
on the sand it is scarcely to be ex
pected that the road will withstand
any considerable taise in the river but
the material being so close the cost of
repairing the road will be very small.
The move on the part of the town
council will receive (ffie commendation
of the traveling public antTjyttl add
to Tempe’a already established repu
tation as having the best streets and
roads iu the territory 1 1 -
REPUBLICAN RALLY. *
The Republicans had a grand rally
last night. The Mesa band furnished
good tausic to the waiting crdWd and
kept them in good humor. The train
from Phoenix got in’’ about 8 o'clock
and it brought with it the Indian
hand, the Republican Marching dub
and the county candidates and visi
tors. The speakers and candidates
took the platform and Hon. A. 0
McQueen presided.
* Hon. C. M. Frazier was the first
Bpeuker and he delivered a very able
address, calling attention to the merits
of the county ticket and asking the
support of (;he people for it.
He was followed by Hon. Jerry
Millay, candidate for Councilman,who
gaYe "sOcae very convincing reasons
why every one should vote for Gov.
Murphy for Delegate to Congress.
Jerry is always a pleasing speaker
and on this occasion was at his best
and acquitted himself with credit.
Arthur J. Edwards, candidate for
District Attorney, was the last speaker
and he gave some good reasons why
the tichet should be elected and why
he in particular should receive the of
fice be seeks. He made a'good im
pression, and w6n the good opinion of
all who heard him.
The meeting then adjourned and
the visitors took the train for Phber.ix
CURE FOR SMUT.
The Agricultural Experiment Sta
tion Os the'University has just issued
a bulletin setting forth a cure for
“Stinking Smut," a matter which has
troubled our farmers a good deal. We
quote as fdllows: ’ *
■■ The remedy it simple and easily
applied. Any farmer can, by the ex
penditure of av« ry small amount of
mouey, treat his seed wheat in a man
ner that will insure bis crap agaidst
an attack of this fungus. He needs
for this operation four things: Blue
stone br copper sulphate, a good quan
tity of lime, some large vesSfls which
will hold Mater, such as tubs or bar
rels, and a pl&ce ro spread his wheat
out to dry when lie is through treat
ing it.
The operation is as follows: Oue
pound of copper sulphate is dissolved
in 24 gallons of water. The seed is
soaked ip this solution for* 12 hours,
after which the Lquid is drained off,
and the seed is again soaked for ten
minutes in lime water made by slak
ing one pound of lime in ten gallons
of water. After drying, the wheat
can be sown at any time without any
danger from the effect of smut.
The process tabulated is as follows:
1. Soak seed for 12 hours jn coppor
sulphate solution.
2. Soak s6edfor five or teg minutes
in lime water.
3. Dry the seed.
4. Sow the seed.
No doubt the above will be of value
to the farmers of this valley
The executive committee of the
carnival held a meeting at the board
of trade robtfrs last night, says the
Gazette. S. M. McGowan was elected
chairman of the committee, hut hd
positively refused to sejptfe as direc
tor-general of the carniyol again this
year. The carnival will be held five
day 8, beginning Dec. 4. Donations
amounting to nearly $3,000 have been
voluntarily subscribed. The commit
tee will be out interviewing the busi
ness men early next week.
Primitive man did not at first be
gin his agricultural operations by ir
rigating great valleys and plains. He
commenced, perhaps, with a small
patch of ground And a 'little strain
of water, or planted his siiiopla crpps
on the edge of the'desert, Utilizing the
water of some perehiaj’ spring or
laboriously drew it from a well. Then
Jater he learned to broaden his opera
tions and work in communities, until
finally he undertook great projects and
accomplished engineering feats in
construction of canals, viaduots, and
complete systems which have hardly
since been surpassed by modern capU
tal and ingenuity. - v
