ARIZONA'S GR'JWTH.
Arizona has more than doubl-d its
p pulalion in the past decade. The
census of this year gives the Territory
122 212 inhabitants, against 59 620
in IS9O. Wh«n the census of 1890
was taken the Indians on the reserva
tions were i ot enumerated as inhabi
tants. 'l'here were 28,4b9 aboriginal
wards on these reservations; there are
only 3,055 now. The majority of the
Apaches have during the past decade
been tranferred to Florida and Irdran
T» rntory in the interest of peace
The policy has borne good frnir, Ari
zona has ip consequence, filled up
with settl is. Life and property are
now a* secure there as anywhere in
the country.
The wonderful growth of popula
tion is however, on y one of the
grounds cm which Arizona will fStab
lish its rights to be admitted by con
gress to statehood. A large amount
of capital has been invested there of
late years in mining properties. The
territory is one of the most attractive
mining fields for capital on the Pacific
coast. The climate and geological
formations are specially favorably to
the industry. In undeveloped mineral
wealth Arizona stands peerless in the
west. Gold, silver and copper are the
leading mint ral products. As a cop
per producer it will in a few yeajs
*utra..k every other t.ection of the
country. Although many of the cop
per properties there are still under
going development, they are listed
among the bigg'Sl dividend paying
mines in the Uniied States.
Ooinci lent wish all this mining de
velopment is a gradual unfolding of
agricul ural resources, of which the
territory was not considered a few
years ago to be possessed. Experience
L proving that there are lurge arena
of land in Anzoua which can be'made
highly productive under a proper
sys'em of tillage. These arable lauds
are contributing largely toward the
supnor of 'be present population, and
't is not unreasruablo to assume that
in t’nir* the territo y wiil be self-sup
porting in «he matter of giair., fruits
and live stock. The development of
mineral wraith is giving encourage
ment to agriculture and introducing
artilic-al’y elements which are essen
tial to the latter’s success, but wfiich
na ure h*s scantily provided,—S. F

WILL WORK FOR ARIZONA.
Delegate Wilson says he feels cer
tain that Congress will admit Ari
zona to statehood the next session,and
that he will give it his undivided at
tention, says the Gazette. Col Wil
son is a vigorous, efficient worker, and
if it is possible for any democrat to
accomplish this he will succeed. No
democrat ever elected to congress from
Arizona has worked harder for the
territory than has Delegate Wilson,
and if he should succeed in securing
our admission, after Arizona voting
the democratic ticket, nothing could
hold Col. Wilson from a seat in the
Smate of the (Juiced States.
THEMEnA LIL’ERARY CIRCLE
r • \* X
The Circle met Monday evening at
the home of Mrs. Arthur Johnson.
After roll call and the reading of a
chapter from Rules of Order by the
Secretary, a lecture on “Longfellow’s
Place in Literature*’ was given by
Mrs. Lulu Macdonald, and a lecture
on “The Works of Longfallow,” by
Mrs. Barbara Allen.
Questions on both lectures were
answered by those present \ reci
tation entitled “M»bel” was given by
M'S Gelii Smith, and the Jocaj news
by Mrs. Laura Rappleye. The circle
was then favoied with a song by Miss
Kemp. Next on the program was a
guitar solo by Miss Debbie Alien.
Refreshments w re then served con
sisting ot bread and butter with salad,
cake and hot cocoa, uftwr which Mrs.
Gmruia Vance favored the company
with a recitation entitled “Why He
Didn't Sell the Farm.” Notice wap
given that delegates from the Wo
man's Suffrage Association of Thatcher
will visit Phoenix, and wijl also visi<
friends in Mesa for a few days, during
which time the Literary Circle will
endeavor to make their stay a pleasant
one. The Critic made her report of
the evening’s work, after which the
minutes were read and accepted and
the Circle adjourned for two weeks
to meet at the Relief Hall on Nov.
26th at 7 30 p. m. A number of
visitors were present and all expressed
themselves as well pleased with the
evening's entertainment and the pros
pects of the literary work before it
for the winter, study of Longfel
low being the principal topic.
FEDERAL RECOGNITION.
•* • i
Several of tne Arizona newspapers
suggest the name of N. A. Morford
for federal recognition. He would
make an excellent postmaster,auditor,
or in fact is well qualified for gover
nor. His long service to his party
should demand recognition. The Re
publicans, like the Democrats of Ari
zona, have done little for the veterans
of 'he pi ess. Now that these posi
tior.« are to be filled by republicans
until statehood is secured, the faithful
should receive recognition. — Enter

A NEW #IFLE.
Lieut-Colonel Lemchen, of the
Swedish army, and director of the
shooting school at Rosenberg in
Bwedeu? has invented a new rifle. Its
most distinguishing feature is the
automatic placing of the cartridge in
tin- firing chamber. The small arm is
similar in evejy respect to the Mauser
and carries the same cartridge. The
soldier when using the rifle fills the
magazine with the cartridge and tires.
Directly the rifle has been discharged
instead of the qnhojKr having to with
draw the empty cartridge to place the
next cartridge in position by a sudden
movement of the breech, it is done
• *
automatically. By this means the
soldier has nothing 'o do but continue
discharging his nf}e until he has
emptied the magerine. The rifle is
extremely simple, both in desigu and
operation, and what is more iinpor
t mt, ill*- shock of r< coil is reduced to
a minimum, sihc-3 ibis shock is util
iz’d to place the ne\t cartridge in the
tiring chamber.—Scientific American
IJere we are with something that,
don’t need fixing. Hartwell <fc Hatn
aker will send their agents, M.. and
Mrs. Deacon to Meea City shortly
with a first class, cold blooded busi
ness proposition. We want you to
lose no time in securing one of our
popular coupons. We have issued
coupons before, and you know we are
giving you a strict business proposi
tion. Hartwell dt Hamaker, 29

Sam Elder has been awarded the
contract to build the new amusemen t

The Arizona legislative bodies now
stands as follows: Council, Democrats,

crats now have a chance to make a

busy day at carnival headquarters.

ing in the afternoon beard reports
from rub comum tees and transacted a
considerable amount of business.
Arrangements were made for an
official badge and for the manufacture
of two hundred aud fifty ribbon
badges m the colors, led, white and
green of the carnival. These will be
taken to Los Angeles by Mr. J. W .
Bonham and distributed among the
inembers of the chamber of commerce
of that city. The question of the
scope and extent of the Indian fea
tures of the carnival this year were
thoroughly discussed Chairman Fi
field added to lus committee on In
diana Will Murray and Joe Bush.
He was authorized to obtain an ex*
hibit of Indians, showing the various
characteristics and tribes of the terri
tory. Maricopa, Pima and Apache
basket weavers, Moki pottery makers
and Navajo blanket weavers, will be
among the attractions.
The street fair exhibits, Midway,
five vaudeyille shows, and pageants
will be handled by various sub-com
mittees, and under the immediate
supervision of Mr. Louis W. Buckley,
director-general of the late Stockton,
Riverside, Ven'ura and ot|ier Pacific
Coast street fairs.
The Midway will be composed of a
number of the principal side shows,
such as Bosco, the Australian snake
man, Lunette, the hypnotic wonder,
La Lista, the rival of La Louie Ful

dances, the Coon Town 400 cake
walkers, and jubilee singers, Juno, the
platiscjue poser, the 2Julu village, the
Oriental show, with several camels,
and Little Egypt, the great Oriental

the town, opening cff the main sTeet

front of it, and it will be beautifully
lighted throughout. A small extra
admission will be charged to each of
the side shows of the Midway as is
