On March 15, 1890, under a charter from the Comptroller of the Currency, the Consolidated Bank of Tucson assumed its place among the
National Banks RS The Consolidated National Bank.. Its deposits at that time were about $80,000. On the fifteenth ultimo, by reason of the
expiration of its original charter, a new one extending its existence for another twenty years was received from the Comptroller.
During the twenty years of its existence its line of deposits, as is shown by its last statement, has grown to over $1,100.000. A most flattering
showing, in view of the fact that no interest is paid on deposits. Passing through the panic periods of 1893 and 1907 unscathed, it is pursuing
and will continue to pursue its ultra conservative policy that has contributed so much to its prestige. In the future, as in the past, it will always be found in the van in anything that makes for the upbuilding of Tucson. Marking the second mile-post of its chartered existence, and to
keep pace with the growth of its home, as soon as the necessary legal formalities can be complied with, the clultal stock and surplus of the bank
will each be doubled. giving a capital and surplus of $200,000, thereby doubling the security given the depositor.

SOUVENIR OF TUCSON
ARIZONA, THE NEW STATE
By RICHARD E. SLOAN,
Governor of Arizona
E HAVE EVERY REASON to feel assured thal
an Enabling Act will become a law at this session
of Congress, and we have therefore, a right to expect that Arizona will be admitted to the ful!
rights and privileges of statehood within the rext
fifteen months. What may we expect of the new
State?
When admitted Arizona will probably be the
forty-fifth State in point of population, ranking in
this respect above Delaware, Wyoming and Neva•a. At the present rate of growth in ten years
our population should exceed not only the above
named States, but Rhode Island, Vermont, New
Hampshire, and possibly Montana, Utah and New
Mexico as well. If we may rely upon the experience and history of Southern California, which lias
a similar climate *and products, our wealth should
increase at even a greater rate than our population.
The new State will start off with all needful
public institutions, fairly equipped and in good
running order. It is quite likely that one of the first things that would
have to be done by the new State in the way of improvements would be the
enlargement of the Capital building so as to provide adequate quarters or
the Supreme Court of the State, and additional accommodations for the of-
ficers of the State.
Our new law with respect to good roads is not sufficiently advanced
to demonstrate its usefulness and provision will 'doubtless be made for
continuing this work on a larger scale than is now provided for
We may expect immediately some increase in the burden of taxation
due to the added cost of maintaining the State Government over that of the
Territorial Government. The increase in population and wealth which will
corne to us will doubtless, however, within the near future, more than compensate for the increase in the cost of our government, and bring about
speedily a lesser tax rate. There will doubtless be a tendency to spend money
needlessly and extravagantTy at the first. This, I think, is the history of
most new states. The new state will, in my judgment, do well not to attempt radical departures from existing laws, and the effort should be towards improving and build'ng up existing institutions rather than to make
new experiments or adopt ideas too freely from other states.
5 de Mayo de 1910
ostensible que una de las primeras cosas que habria hacerse en el nuevo
Estado, en la via de mejoras seria la implicaci6n de capitolio para proporcionar oficinas adecuadas â la Corte Suprema del Estado y mayores comodidades 6 los funcionarios del mismo.
Nuestros trabajos respecto â buenos caminos territoriales estarlan suficientemente avanzados para demostrar su utilidad pero indudablenaente se
adoptarfan medidas para continuarles en mayor escala.
Al principio serfa inevitable un aumento en los impuestos debido al costo adicional en sostener el Gobierno del Estado en lugar del Gobierno territorial, pero el desarrillo en poblaci6n y riqueza que obtendriamos seguramente, nos compensarfa poco despues del mayor gasto de nuestro gobierno
dando por resultado una diminuci6n en la cuota de impuestos. Es indudable que habrd primero—una tendencia à gastar dinero innecesaria y pr6dtgamente, aunque esto yo creo que es la historia de todos los Estados nuevos
En mi concepto el reciente Estado haria bien en no atentar â separarse racli•
calmente de las leyes existentes, debiendo todo esfuerzo encaminarse d mejorar y desarrollar las institutcions existentes en lugar de hacer nuevos experimentos O adoptar sin reserva ideas de otros Estados.
Deberia tenerse un gran cuidado é indudablemente se. tendrd en sacar
el mayor provecho de las concesiones de tierras que se hardn al Estado. La
selecci6n de estas tierras sera asunto de sums importancia y el mayor cuidado se dispensard â esta materia.
Nuestra poblaci6n se siente tan orgullosa de sus escuelas que no hay
ternor de que no se mantenga nuestra actual eficiencia sino por el contrario
serdn mejor sostenidas y aumentada su eficacia.
Podemos mirar hacia adelante y considerar la cuestidn de Estado con
orgullo y satisfaccidn de nuestro actual grado de preparaci6n, con grandes
esperanzas y brillantes prospectos de un futuro glorioso como Entidad Suberana de la Union.
.
Great care should be exercised, and undoubtedly will be exercised, in
getting the most out of the grants of land which will be made to the tate.
The selection of these lands will be a matter of great importance and the
utmost care should be exercised in this matter.
Our people take such pride in their schools hat we may have no apprehension that our present efficiency will not be maintained, on the contrary,
they should even be better supported and their efficiency increased.
We can look forward to statehood with pride and satisfaction at our
present state of preparedness with high hopes and bright prospects for a
glorious future as a sovereign State of the Union.
ARIZONA, UN NUEVO ESTADO
Por RICHARD E. SLOAN,
Governador de Arizona
Tenernos todo género de razones para creer seguro que un proyecto de
ley sera sancionado en este peri6do de sesiones del Congreso por el cual
podemos esperar que â Arizona le serdn concedidos los derechos y privilegios de Estado dentro de un periodo de quince meses. Que esperamos nosotros del nuevo Estado?
Cuando sea admitido Arizona sera probablemente el cuadragésimo

THE STATE OF SINALOA
By HON. DIEGO REDO.
Governor of Sinaloa •
INALOA is one of the states of the Republic which
at
present offers greater inducements to business
13:::k e.ce
men for the organization and development of large
;i :
enterprises on account of its exceptional geograph4:Z 0.:
ical I situation and the great variety of its resources.
Bounded on the East by the Sierra Madre, and
on the West by the Gulf of California and the Pacifie ocean, it extends
from the State of Sonora to the Territory of Tepic, some 660 kilometers approximately, its surface having a slope rather varied in altitude, thus affording to immigrants every variety of climate, cold in the high regions,
mild in the middle regions and warm on the plains close to the coast, with
the advantages that naturally follow from their proximity to each other to
insure the preservation of health and the prolongation of life.

Its mining wealth is proverbial. Since the thirteenth century gold and
silver mines have been worked and have not been exhausted to this day;
Panuco, El Tajo and Guadalupe de los Reyes, whose products within late
years exceed $100,000,000 are counted among the many of them. The greater number of mines are found on western slope of the Sierra madre, which
can well be said, without exaggeration, is still unexplored, notwithstanding
the great number of properties bearing precious metals, which have been
dneovered and located by individuals or by companies. At present there are
more than 600 gold, silver, lead, copper and bismuth mines patented, which
are not worked for lack of capital.
Due to the nature of its lands, the variety of climate and the number
of rivers, it is also destined to be an agrultural center of great importance.
Its area is approximately 71,000 square kilometers with eleven declivities, through which as many rivers flow, which on the descent from the
mountain, receive the inflow of many creeks and make fruitful vast areas of
land, which in their greater part are at present uncultivated. The mountainous parts are covered with heavy growth of pine, oak, etc., and rich grazing
lands. The middle section, consisting of a belt of from 20 to 30 1-ilometers
wide, embraces valleys with excellent lands adopted for the establishment
of ranches and forests abounding in ebony, mahogany, mulberry, amapa
atd guayacan, very highly prized in cabinet work, the last which extends
along the coast is the richest in farming lands. The principal haciendas of
the state are located within this belt, among them being such important en-

"Yevabito" and others. By the nature and quality of the products, this zone
has been compared to that which has been so intelligently and successfully
cultivated in California.
On account of being at a long distance from Central Mexico and other
circumstances which it would be useless to mention, the State of Sinaloa
has not been able to this date to develop its natural resources, but the wise
and powerful administration of President Diaz, w.hich our country has created, dignided, enlightened and industrious after exterminating in the country the habits that used to throw the country into revolution and anarchy,
has just given it what it needs for its advancement, a railroad and with :he
acquisition of this element of progress it is now in a condition to reach the
enviable position to which it is entitled and the high degree of civi z lion
and well being that they always bring.
The people of Sinaloa not only reckon on their own efforts, but with
the aid of foreiggners who have come into the State bringing with them
their capital, their experience and their energy. A young State, full of aspira.

ahora sin cultivo. La parte montailosa hdllase cubierta de espesos bosques
de pinos y robles y de riqufsimos pastos; la media, constituida por una faja
de 20 â 30 kil6metros de anchura, encuéntrase llena de valles con excelent.as
tierras apropiadas para el establecimiento de ranchos, y de selvas en que
abundan macleras como el ébeno, la caoba, la mira, la ainapa, el goayacdn,
muy apreciadas en ebanistrfa; la ultima, que se dilata d. lo largo de la costa,
es la mds rica en tierras agrfcolas, la nids extensa. En esta zona se hallan
ubicadas las principales haciendas del Estado, contandose entre .11as negoclos tan importantes como la Hacienda del Aguila, la de Eldorado, La Primavera, Yevabito y ot•as. For la naturaleza y calidad de sus pr6ductos ha
sido comparada esta zona d la que con tanto éxito y tan inteligentemente
cultivan •en California.
A causa de hallarse muy alejado del centro y de otras circunstancias
que serfa prolijo enurnerar, el Estado de Sinaloa no ha podida hasta ahora
desarrollar sus riquezas naturales; pero la sabla y poderosa administraci6n
del Pres. Diaz, que ha creado nuestra patria actual, seria, cuita y laboriosa, después de extirpar en us pueblo los hdbitos que lo arrijaban d la revuelta y la anarqufa, acaba de darle lo que para su adelanto necesita: un
ferrocarril, y con la adquisici6n de este elernento capital de progreso encuéntrase ya en condiciones de alcanzar la envidiable situaci6n enon6mica que le
est& reservada y PI alto grado de civilizacibn y Iii, nestar que aquella trae
siempre consigo.
Para esto no s6lo cuenta el pueblo sinaloense con sus propios esfuerzos,
sino con el contingente de los extranjeros que empiezan â Ilegar al Estado,
trayendo sus capitales, su experiencia y su actividad. Pueblo joven, lien°
de aspiraciones, recibe como el pueblo americano, con los brazos abiertos,

y la amistad que acaban por unir para siempre cualquiera que sea su nacionalidad, é los que combaten juntos y juntos triunfan en la lucha por la vida.
De ello bay quiza en el Tucson, en estos instantes, numerosos y desinteresados testigos.
Actualmente la administraci6n local se ocupa en fomentar por todos los
medios posibles las industrias, especialmente la agrfcola, en la cual descansa
el porvenir de esta regi6n, proeurando llenar en su esfera el programa que
ha permitido al Presidente Diaz apartar al pueblo mexicano de las est6riles

arms, men of good will, fully convinced that in so doing it contributes to the
greatness of the country, holding them to our land with the ties of interest
and the friendship which has united forever those of whatever nationality,
who struggle united and triumph united in the battle of life. There are no
doubt in Tucson at this time many and dinsinterested witnesses.
At present the local administration is engaged in the development by
all means possible of all industries and especially the agricultural industry, upon which the feature of this region rests, by trying to carry out the
program which has permitted President Diaz to withdraw the Mexican people from the fruitless agitations which contributed so much to the retrogression of the Latin American Republics and which in a solemn occasion
and in a masterly manner laid out in four words the motto: "Less Politics
and More Administration."

RAMON CORRAL
VICE-PRESIDENT OF' MEXICO
RAINED in the school of President Diaz, the
?re-1 e-an ple of true citizenship, Ramon Corral,
Vice President of Mexico, is a young man of clear
and righteous ideas, splendidly endowed for all
great enterprises, besides being at heart a progressionist for the good of his country.
If lie ascends to the Presidency it will not be
as an agitator in politics, but to devote all his en. „•ntinne the "rent undertakings of his
predecessor, who has resumed in this famous
phrase a whole program of sage advice: "Less
politics and more administration."
No man is more apt to develop this program
than the Vice President. "Work and Progress" is.
the motto of President Diaz, and Mr. Corral will
follow in his steps, continuing the form of government inaugurated by President Diaz, answering so
fully to the wants of the country, and so cherished
by all.
Ramon Corrar s public life was commenced
in the ranks of the nresc where he courageously
defended the principles of reason and justice. His progressive ideas and
his love for everything noble and elevated, gained for him great popularity
among the citizens of his section who elected him to the Legislature • nf the
State of Sonora, his native State. Later on he was elected to the Federal
Congress and in 1887 the public vote raised him to the office of Lieutenant
Governor of his State, and in this political career he for many years exercised a preponderating and effective influence.
When bis terni as lieutenant governor expirer] he took the position
of General Secretary of the State of Sonora until 1895, when he was elected Constitutional Governor and filled that high office for four years.
On the 15th of December, 1900, Corral was called by the GOvernment of the Federal District, and on January 19, 1903, he assumed the
portfolio of the Interior in the Cabinet of President Diaz, an office that be
has filled with the tact, intelligence and energy that he has always show'
since the commencement of hiss public career.
His government of Sonora was distinguished by a spirit of energetic
initiative, which be showed by his encouragement of a large niimber of at,

ricultural, industrial and mining enterprises in which an immense capital
was in vested, and now constitute important sources of wealth in that
important state. He is a man of arm and steadfast character, a passionate
lover of progress, and his greatest thought is the advancement of his country. He is a warm friend of President Diaz, whose political program he
loyally supports with the strength of conviction. Hesitation and fear are
unknown to him, and his action is always prompt and to the poitit
Mr. Corral is a Republican in politics. He knows that the respect of
the individual rights is the solemn vow demanded by the Republic from
the men raised by public choice to the height of the government platform,
and in whose hands are place(' under a sacred oath the holy trust of the
laws and the inalienable liberties of the citizens.
When a nation desires to be great and possessds the required civic
qualities to attain such an end, it always reaches it. No obstacles are taken into account or tolerated. It wishes and goes ahead. Mexico acted
thus, hardly fifty years ago, while sustaining its titantic wars of reform.
when led by the great Juarez, the founder of the Republic. It had to
make away with three centuries of fanaticism in order to provide itself
with the institutions forming today its political creed. In the heart of each
Mexican there is an altar erected to the immortal memory of the del'verer,
the stainless patriot and the model citizen.
Such is th spirit predominating in the souls of the men of high ideas
that today compdse the government of Mexico, when once for all its destinies are asserted in the New World: and among those men anxious for
progess, for prestige, for grandeur and glory for their country. Vice resident Ramon Corral bas stepped foremost.
When Ramon Corral rises to the first power in the land be will be
inspired by the patriotic and conciliatory policies of President Diaz.
RAMON CORRAL
VICE-PRESIDENTE DE MEXICO
Formado en la escuela del Presidente Diaz, el gran preparador y educador de verdaderos ciudadanos, Ramon Corral, Vice Presidente de México,
es un hombre de claras y rectas ideas dotado espléndiamente para las grandes empresas aparte de ser un Isineero partidario del progreso de su pais.
May 5, 191
Su gobierno en Sonora se distingui6 por un espfritu de vigorosa iniciativa manifestada en el fomento de un gran numero de empresas agricolas,
industriales y mineras, en las cuales se invirti6 un inmenso capital, constituyendo actualmente una fuente de riquesa e tan importante Estado.
Es un hombre de firme é inalterable cardeter, un apasionado amante

un cordial am go del Presidente Diaz cuyo programa politico sostiente lealmente con toda la fuerza de su convicci6n. La excitaci6n y el miedo le sot
desconocidas y su acci6n es siempre pronta y bien dirigida.
El sehor Corral es republicano en polftica sin ser intransigente. Sien
do un dem6crata sincero conoce que el respeto â los derechos individuales
es la solemne protesta que la Republica exige à. los hombres elevados por la
preferencia del public° d las alturas del gobierna, en cuyas manos se ha
colocado bajo sagrada promesa, el santo dep6sito de la ley y las inalienables libertades de los ciudadanos.
Cuando una naci6n desea ser grande y posee las cualidades civicas requeridas para ello, siempre logra alcanzar tab fin. Ningun abstdeulo se

de esta manera hace cincuenta ados, cuando sosteniendo u titdnica guerra
de reforma, gufada por el Gran J'Axez fundador de la Republica, y la democracia, tuvo que hacer â un lado el fanatismo de tres centuries para adquirir las institutciones que forman su credo politico. En el corazfin de
cada mexicano hay un altar erigido â la memoria del libertador, patriota
inmaculado y modelo de ciudadanos.
Tal es el espfritu predominante en los animcks de los hombres de ideas
elevadas que componen actualmente el gobierno de México cuando de una
vez para siempre tiene asegurados sus destinos en el Nuevo Mundo; y entre
estos hombres ansiotos de progreso, de prestigio, de grandeza y de gloria
para su patria el Vice Presidente Ramon Corral ha avanzado entre los primeros.
Cuando Ram6n Corral se eleve d la primera dignidad en el pais estara

Ningun hombre es mas apto para desarrollar este programa que el
Vice Presidente. "Trabajo y Progreso" es el lema del Presidente Diaz, y
el Seftor Corral seguird sus pasos, continuando la forma de gobierno comenzada por el Presidente Diaz, correspondiendo plenamente d. las necesidades del pais y estimado por todos.
La vida publica'de Ram6n Corral di6 principio en el periodismo donde

The idea commends itself to me, with regard to this

At present candidates for Mayor and Councilmen, etc., are selected by
politicians, frequently for political reasons only; and not because the candidate is espetially well qualified by training or experience to fill the position.
In this young, growing community most of our business meu are actively engaged in business; are dependent largely on their individual efforts
success and feel they can not afford to neglect their own affairs to accept
civic duties without adequate compensation. In older eastern communities
there are generally to be found retired business men, or men of independent

The official ticket to be voted at the primary election carries the names
of all candidates arranged alphabetically, and the two names receiving the
highest number of votes for mayor shall be the candidates at the regular
election; twice the number of councilmen to be 'elected receiving the highest number of votes at the primary yshall be the only candidates to go on the
ticket at the regular election. The number of candidates to be elected, receiving the highest number of votes at the regular 'election to be declared
elected. This puts the selection of officials squarely up to the people. Ifthe electors take a proper interest and exercise ordinary intelligence in voting for candidates who, in their opinion are best fitted to fill the several
office, it is probable that a fairly representative body of men will be elected
who, by giving their time and attention to the management of the city's af
fairs, free from political influence, should accomplish good results.
The initiative and referendum features may also be incorporated in this
form of government if desired, which enables the electors to a certain extent
to control the actions of the governing body.
It must be borne in mind, however, that no syistern of government operates automatically, and to obtain the best results, the citizens must interest
tuemselves in civic affairs; not only to the extent of criticizing when mistakes are made, but also expressing approval when affairs go smoothly and
good results are achieved.
If the time ever comes, when in this country, as in older countries, it is
considered an honor to serve the city as Mayor and Councilman and the electors demand that these position); be filled by the most competent men in the
community that day will end most of our municipal troubles.

EL ESTADO DE SONORA
Por S. M. DEL TORO,
Secretario, Consulado Mexicano, Tucson.
Tanto por sus antecedentes historicos y su situaci6n geogrdfica, coma
por sus mutuos intereses, el Estado de Sonora, de la Republica Mexicana,
esta intimamente ligado al Territoria de Arizona.
Habiendo seguido juntas las dos Entidades su carrera en el progreso
por ley natural tienen que estrechar mas cada dia sus relaciones en beneacio reciproco.
Prd.cticamente el desenvolvimiento de Arizona ha contribuido al
desarrollo de Sonora, pues el auge minero del Sur 'del Territorio atrajo
capitales d Sonora, los que han puesto ricas minas en activa explotaci6n.
Sonora, al impulso del sabio plan general del Gobierno Mexicali°, va
hacia un futuro envidiable, teniendo todos los elementos necesarios para
convertirse en un Estado productor de primer orden, tanto en minerfa como
en ganaderfa y agricultura.
Son de todos conocidos los abundantes rendimientos de minas de rama
colonial como las de Quintera, Mulatos y Planchas de Plata, no menos que
de las de reciente exploitacian como Cananea, Nacozari, El Tigre, etc.
Geograficamente Sonora y Arizona son una misma regban. Las grandes zonas de cobre, donde estan las minas de Globe, Clifton, Morenci
Bisbee en Arizona, continuan a través de Cananea, Nacosari, Cieneguita
Santo Nifio. Esta ultima en el Rio Yaqui, se extiende hasta mas alla del
Distrito de Alamos. Esta zona de cobre corre paalela con una regi6n de
ore que se extiende hacia abajo por los Distritos de Magdalena, Ures, Hermosillo y Guaymas, comprendiendo los placesres de Cerro Prieto, Providencia, Calichi, Klondyke, Santo Domingo y La Brima en el Distrito de
Magdalena, Santa Rosalf a en el de Arizpe y San Ricardo, San Francisco,
Santa Elena y Colorado en el de Guaymas. En Cumuripa y Suaqui Grande hay extensos placeres, estando una compailia de Chicago operando con
exito en el ultimo lugar.
Cuando la industria minera esté debidamente desarrollada, Sonora
ocupard un lugar en primera linea en el mundo, cumpliendose los pronasticos del notable inglés Cecil Rhodes. En su territorio se encuentran muY
abundantes yacimientos de plata, plomo, oro, cobre, antimonio, hierro,
cinabrio, grafito y earb6n.
El clima de Sonora es en general muy saludable, variando segun las
alturas. En sus montai:ms es frio, templado en sus pendientes y cdlido en
SUS valles y costas. La extensi6n de su litoral, bafiado por el Golfo de
Cortés es de 860 kil6metros, desde la 'desembocadura del Rio Colorado.
La capital, Hermosillo, esta, situatda d 253 metros de elevaci6n y cuenta
con 11,000 hibtantes. aL fertilidad de su suelo es indiscutible y aunque
la dgricultura esta en su infancia ya produce magnIficos rendimientos. A
Arizona se traen 'de Sonora, tomates, naranjas, cantaloupes, sandias
legumbres de todas clases que son muy apreciadas.
Con la aplicaciin de los métodos modernos de irrigacifin la agricultura
se pondra en breve d una gran altura. En la regi6n del Rio Yaqui, que
nada envidia n la de Egipto, poderosas compaiiias han construido amplios
canales y actualmente bacen la divisi6n de feraces terrenos entre colonos
de distintas nacionalidades habiendo entre ellos un considerable numero
de Americanos: todos estn listos para comezar sus trabajos equipados con
los mas modernos implementos. El Yaqui, donde surgirdn Importantes
ciudades como en la época en que se pob16 el Geste de los Estados Unidos,
sera un verdadero emporio de riqueza.

. Sonora ha sido impulsado de un modo decidido por el Seflor General
Don Luis E. Torres, Gobernador Constitucional del mismo, quien con todo
patriotismo ha empleado sus energfas en darle dos preciosos bienes: paz y
adelanto. La paz, quebrantada frecuentemente por la tribu yaqui, de caracter indomable, es ahora efectiva. Cuantos sacrificios, cuanta constancia, cuanta inteligencia y sobre todo cuanta voluntad se necesita para llevar
d cabo una empresa de esta indole. El General Torres ha sido un luchador
infatigable; primer° derramando su sangre por la autonomfa 'de su patria,
despues exponiendose al peligro para extirpar ese miembro canceroso del cuerpo social de Sonora que se lime rebeldfa Yaqui hasta lograr el sometimiento de los salvajes sanguinarios. El adelanto para Sonora lo ha buscado el
General Torres con su tino y con su dedicaci6n. Al hombre de emp:esa se
le dan facilidades estimulandolo para que invierta su capital en el Estado;
d los elementos sanos de cualquiera procedencia se les dispensa una franca
acogida al grado que luego se asimilan d la vida del pais y deciden abandonar para siempre su hogar primitivo. Los ferrocarriles, la minerfa, las
tierras de cultivo, asi como la instucci6n publica, el embellecimiento de las
poblaciones y el mejoamiento social, todo ha sido visto con previsi6n por el
General Torres.
,
Sus facultades como politico quedan demonstradas con el hecho que
puestro distinguido Vice-Presidente Sr. Ram6n Corral aprendfo al lado del
Sr. General Torres, la dificil ciencia de gobernar que le es par todos reconocida y que demostr6 plenamente cuando asumi6 el gobierno de Sonora
donde tué muy eligiada su administraci6n, sirviéndole de peldado para
escalar puestos mas elevados.
El Sefior General Torres se ha separado temporalmente del Gobierno
del Estado, dejando en su lugar d un hombre de absoluta confianza y
aptitud el, Sr. Vice-Gobernador Don Alberto Cubillas, para tomar el mando
de la Primera Zona Militar, que abarca los Estados de Sonora y Sinaloa
y el Territorio de la Baja California y en este puesto presta inestimables
servicios d su Estado.
Sonora, con sus recursos naturales, su buen gobierno, la hospitalidad
de sus hijos y su proximidad esta. pronto g. aumentar sus cordiales relaciones de comercio y amistad con el Territorio de Arizona y a aceptar su
emulaci6n en el proues°.
The bank deposits of Tucson aggregate $2,250,000. The daily clear-

The relation which this bank has sustained to the
business life of Tucson for the past 20 years has been
most intimate and helpful. The institution has been
a clearing house for the individual, with more money
than he needs for immediate use, and the one who
has a legitimate immediate need and adequate
security.
This bank has helped to keep moving the tides
of Tucson finances in their helpful ebb and flow—the
flood of deposits, the ebb of loans. Business enterprises have succeeded, homes have been built, people
have been given employment—all through its instrumentality. Its operation is conservative—but at all
times practical.

nationalities, there being among them a considerable number of Americans.
All are ready to begin operations equipped with the most modern implements. The Yaqui river, where important cities will be built as it is, happened in the settlement of the west of the United States will be a real em-
porium of wealth.
HE State of Sonora, of the Republic of Mexico,
is closely related to the Territory of Arizona by
historical antecedentes, geographical position
and their mutual interests.
The two commonwealths having pursued
their career of progress, they have by natural
law to bind by stronger ties their relations for
reciprocal benefit ,
-
Practically the development of Arizona has
contributed to the like development of Sonora
as the mining climax in the southern part of the
Territory attracted capital to the State of Sonora which have placed rich mines here in an
active exploitation.
Sonora, with the impulse imparted by the
wise plans of the Mexican government is advancing towards a bright future, having al
the necessary elements to become a producing
State of the first class in mining, agricultural
and stock raising.
The great productions of mines of colonial fame, such as Quintera,
Mulatos, Planchas de Plata as well as those recently discovered and worked as Cananea, Nacozari, El Tigre, etc., are well known to every one.
Geologically Sonora and Arizona are the same region. The great
copper belts where the Globe, Clifton, Morenci and Bisbee in Arizona are
situated, extend through Cananea, Nacozari, Cieneguita and Santo .
The latter on the Yaqui River extends to beyond the Alamos District. This
copper belt runs parallel to a gold bearing region which extends downward through the Magdalena, Ures, Hermosillo and Guaymas Districts,
embracing the placer regions of Cerro Prieto, Povidencia, Calichi, Mondyke, Santo Domingo and La Brisca in the Magdalena District; Santa
Rosalia in Arizpe District and San Ricardo, San Francisco, Santa Elena
and Colorado in the Guaymas District. In Cumuripa and Suaqui Grande
there are extensive placer fields where a Chicago Company is now operating successfully.
When the mining industry is fully developed, Sonora will occupy a
place in the first rank in the world, thus fulfilling the prophesy of the
celebrated Englishman, Cecil Rhodes. Within its territory are found many
regions bearing silver, lead, gold, copper, antimony, iron, cinabar, graphite
and coal.
The climate of Sonora is generally salubrious, varying according to
altitude. It is cold in the mountains, mild in the slopes and warm in the
valleys and the coasts. Its coast line bathed by the Gulf of California is
860 kilometers from the mouth of the Colorado River. Hermosillo, its
capital is situated at an elevation of two hundred and fifty three meters
and has about 11,000 inhabitants. The productiveness of its soil is undisputed and although agriculture is in its infancy it produces, however,
abundant products. Arizona imports from Sonora tomatoes, oranges, cantaloupes, watermelons and vegetables of different classes which are in
great demand.
By means of modern methods in irrigation, agriculture will soon be
placed in a great rank. On the region of the Yaqui River which is no way
inferior to that of Egypt, wealthy companies have constructed great canals
and at present are partitioning those rich lands among colonists of different
iv,„t
In the building of railroads, Sonora has accomplished remarkable progress. It will soon be traversed in all directions by steel parallels that
carry everywhere capital, energ, prosperity and civilization.
A man of geat public spirit has cooperated greatly in the development of railroad construction in Sonora as well as in Arizona: he is
Colonel Epes Randolph, who reckoning on the bright prospects of the Pacific region from the Southern California to the isthmus of Panama has
gladly accepted the franchises from the Mexican government by starting
the establishment of a net work of steel in the neighboring State which will
soon be completed. The principal basis of that plan consists in the construction of the line that puts the city of Seattle in close communication
with the City of Mexico. This line already crosses the States of Sonora and
Sinaloa and will soon cross the Territory of Tepic. When this railroad is
completed, it will put Sonora in contact with the rest of the Mexican Republic and the results coming therefrom will be of great magnitude.
The number of foreign colonists who go to Sonora to acquire a fortune and to contribute to the advancement of the State increases every day
and this is due to the efforts of he government in protecting the interests
and persons and to afford all security in life and property which can be enjoyed in the most civilized nation.
Sonora has advanced firmly through the efforts of General Luis E.
Torres, Governor of the State, who has used his patriotic endeavors in
giving the State the two precious boons: Peace and Progress. Peace
which was frequently broken by the Yaqui tribe, an indomitable race, is
now an assured fact. How many sacrifices, how much constancy, intelligence and above all what a strong will were necessary to carry out successfully an undertaking of such a character. General Torres has been an
Indefatigable fighter, first by the sacrifice of his blood in defense of the
autonomy of his country, afterwards by exposing to the danger in his effort
to eradicate that cancerous member of the social body of Sonora, known
as the Yaqui rebellion until he succeeded in bringing the blood thirsty
savages to terms.
General Torres by means of his tact and his prudence has contributed to the betterment of Sonora. Facilities are given to the men of enterprising spirit so that they may invest their capital in the State, the sane elements of whatever source are given an opporunity so that they may adopt
the life of the country and decide to abandon for ever their
primitive home.
Railroads, mining, agricultural lands as well as public education, the
embellishment of the towns and the social well being, all has been foreseen by General Torres. His value as a political leader is demonstrated by
the fact that our distinguished Vice-President Sefior Ramon Corral
learned at the side of General Torres, the difficult science of
government which
is fully recognized by all and was plainly demonstrated when he assumed
the government of Sonora, where his administration was highly
praises
and served him as a stepping stone to reach higher positions.
General Torres has separated temporarily from the government of
the State leaving in his place a man absolutely reliable and capable, ViceGovernor Sefior Alberto Cubillas, so as to take command of the First Military Zone which embraces the States of Sonora and Sinaloa
and the Territory of Lower California and in such a position he gives inestimable services to his country.
Sonora, with its natural resources. its good government, the hospitality
of its inhabitants and its proximity is ready to increase its
commercial and
friendly relations with the Territory of Arizona and to accept its emulation
in progress.

opinion are the best fitted by training, by learning, by experience, by temperament, and by common sense, to bring about the result he desires.
The work of the convention need not be protracted. Th e right sort
of a constitution is after all, though one of great importance, not a task of
great magnitude. Such a constitution should be a declaration of principles of government rather than of plans for government; a comprehensive
-
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.
There has been less talk among the people in the territory of late of
statehood than for a long time past. This is not because the matter is not
an important and vital one to us, nor is it because the great majority of the
people do not recognize its importance, nor because they are less interested
In securing it; it is because of the uncertainty in the minds of the people
as to the passage by Congress of the statehood bill that has made the necessity for preparation for statehood seemingly of less present importance, and
has suspended for the time being discussion and expression of opinion. For
so many years our people have con fidently expected the speedy realization
of their hopes of statehood only to be disappointed that the feeling is naturally quite general that discussion of the ways and means pertaining to statehood may as well be left until the realization of the hope long deferred
shall have gladdened the sick heart. But were it not for our many disappointments in the past, the fulfillment of this hope would seem to us to be
now assured. Both parties have declared for it in their platforms, the
President is our earnest champion, and according to reliable reports the
leaders in both houses have agreed to the passage of the bill at the present
session. While, therefore, we shall none of us feel any certainty until the
bill is passed, yet the signs are sufficiently propitious for it to be the part
of wisdom to begin to make our preparations for statehood.
First of these preparations, and foremost in importance, is the constitutional convention and the results it shall bring forth. Because our constitution is the foundation upon which the structure of our state is to be
builded in the future, such foundation must be strong and substantial and
capable of sustaining the superstructure, and broad enough to give room for
such additions and alterations as may from time to time be needed to meet
the increasiing growth and development of the building. But not only for
our own needs must our own constitution be wisely framed, but also for the
sake of our good name and fame among our neighbors. Just as the individual desires to be thought well of by his neighbors and fellow men and
to stand high in their esteem, so a state should be jealous of her good name
and fame among her sister states and among the people composing them.
The state of Arizona will be judged by others, and in the near future, in
great measure by her action in two particulars. First, in the kind and character of the constitution she shall adopt, and second, by the calibre, mental and moral, of the senators, of whichever party they may be, whom she
shall send to represent her in the Senate of the United States. According
as we do well or ill in these two important matters so will the judgment
of the rest of the country be determined for or against our claims that we
are an intelligent, enlightened community, qualified for statehood and fit
to take high rank in the sisterhood of states. The election of senators,
though a matter of deep concern to us, is not a matter that demands immediate attention. Not so with the selection of those who shall represent us
in our constitutional convetion. By the provisions of the staehood bill
as it has been reported from the committee on territories to the senate, the
day to be designated by the governor for the election of delegates to the
constitutional convention must be not earlier than sixty and not later than
ninety days after the approval of the bill by the President. This election
of delegates to the constitutional convention must be held, therefore, within
three months after the passage of the bill, and becomes a matter of present
concern to us all. Partisan politics should find no place in the deliberations and actions of the body of men who shall frame our constitution, and
if the right men are sent to represent us, such consideration will have
'no weight as against the plain duty and high privilege accorded them
frame a lasting non-partisan constitution planned on a high
plan of Pro
gressive American ci tizenship. Logically the selection of the delegates
should be made on non-partisan lines. Practically, I presume, the nominations will be made as party nominations, as no nn.,/ind, however desirable,
is likely to be agreed upon, but the good sens of our people, conscious of
the responsibility resting upon them, will nullify any attempt by either
party, if any such there should be, to obla ip any partisnu advantage.
In
most of the counties of the territory th.?, vo;.e is close as between the two
leading parties, and the people have fortunately long since
learned how to
vote a split ticket. In this election, more than ever before, party lines will
be disregarded by the intelligent voter. As between two men, the one in the
estimation of the voter best qualified for the important duty to be performed
by him will be chosen, whether he be Republican or Democrat and with such
a body of men, alive as they will be to the necessities of the occasion and
filled with a sobering sense of the great responsibility that is theirs, it will
make no difference in the result that will be reached whether the
majority
be Democratic or Republican. In no political subdivision of our country
is
there among its citizens greater pride and loyalty to its sorereignty and
its institutions than in Arizona. Nowhere are there to be found
men and
women more patriotic, more thoroughly imbued with the doctrines and
principles of American civilization and citizenship. We are all keenly alive
to the opportunities, privileges and responsibilities that are shortly
to be
ours, and no constitution that is not safe, sane, 'elastic, respectable and that
-
-
outline of essentials rather than a minute specification of details; a superstructure broad and elastic enough to afford a basis for changing conditions
rather than a finished and completed edifice not capable of growth except
by alterations. Just as incorporators of a corporation adopt a charter under which they may proceed to carry on the business for which they are
incorporated, leaving to the directors to be chosen to adopt and formulate
by-laws that shall provide for the specific details of the conduct of the
business, so it is the province of the constituional convention to adopt and
provide or a general scheme of government which shall contain the essentials required for the good government of a state, leaving to the succeeding
legislatures the duty to provide such specific measures as may be necessary
to adopt to carry out the general scheme of government so framed. Howevr wise or salutary thiis or that measure may seem, unless it is an eSsentia i
fundamental requisite or principal of government, it has no place in a constitution. There is only one danger that confronts us and that is that our
nnetitution makers may be led into the error of legislating rather than
of constitution making. If the true functions of the constitutional convention and of the legislature, and the distinction between them, are kept in
mind and observed, we need have litle fear that the constitution that will
be presented for adoption and approval will fall short of our high expectations.

A WORD OF WELCOME
Tucson has as her guests today many of the men who have made Arizona and the West Coast of Mexico what it is today. Some of them hold
high official positions, some are private citizens engaged in developing the
resources of this rich and prosperous section of our continent.
To all of our guests on this occasion of the opening of the Tucson &
West Coast of Mexico railroad, The Tucson Citizen on behalf of the people
of this city extends greeting and welcomes them here. This gathering of
the men of Arizona and the great West Coast has an international significance and should cement the already friendly official, social and commercial
relations existing between the United States and the Republic of Mexico.
Tucson is ambitious to become one of the centers of business for the rich and
vast expanse of country and takes this opportunity of presenting its advantages to its neighbors.
The Tucson Citizen presents to its readers today a souvenir edition
made up largely of contributions from some of the men and women who are
'doing their part in the making of this great western country. For the benefit of our visitors from the Republic of Mexico, this number is printed in
both English and Spanish. Much of the credit for the preparation of the
Spanish section is due to Hon. Arturo M. Elias, Consul of Mexico at Tucson,
and Hon. S. M. del Toro, secretary of the Mexican Consulate at Tucson, who
gave every possible assistance to the editors in arranging the Spanish section of this souvenir.

ARIZONA'S CHANCE
By OWEN WISTER,
Author "The Virginian," Etc.
Presently (and the sooner the better) Arizona will cease her long period of territoryhood, and enter upon her statehood as the forty-seventh
State of the Union. No patriotic American who is tolerably well acquainted
with Arizona's constantly developing resources and the high aims of her best
citizens, their energy and their hopefulness, can be anything but anxious to
see the bill admitting Arizona passed at Washington.
The prospect of this event raises in the breast of every believer in democracy the hope that, in framing her constitution, Arizona will profit by the
experience of her forty-six predecessors. These have blazed a trail which
could be considerably improved. It leads through a number of quicksands
In which the public welfare has been, and is still, frequently sunk. To
name but one instance, an onlooker at our national career would have pretty fair ground for informing us that in breaking away from England and
monarchy, we have merely swapped the divine right of kings for the divine
right of railroads. On the other hand, in our reactionary floundering to
correct this over-balance of corporation power, we have manifested our characteristic American mixture of good intentions, impatience, and crudity;—
the Sherman anti-trust law (for example) being as amateurish and ill-conceived a statute as defaces our books. That is a piece of federal wellmeant incompetence, but it is nothing compared to the foolish and injurious
laws which have been enacted by certain of our state legislatures—forbidding railroads, for instance, to charge a pascenger more than two cents a
mile for carrying him, without inouiring into such matters as the density
of population, or the cost of transportation to the railroad. Americans have
not been sufficiently critical of their institutions that could possibly exist.
This is an unprogressive and dangerous state of mind. For, of course, no
Institutions can remain perfect, but all must keep pace with the nation's
growth. Thus we have lately discovered that in 1910 our postoffice is still
being run by machinery made in 1835. Imagine a railroad which did that
If we have been too uncritical, the great critic whose name is Consequences
has not been idle; and through suffering from Consequencse the American
people are waking up to the fact that their institutions need some overhauling. Galveston has waked up to it, so has Des Moines, and Boston. It is
Ar:zona's great opportunity to start with new machinery and not to continue
an old model of States Government which has proved a failure in many
ways in older states. What should a State government do? Three things
above all: Maintain order, protect property and life, and punish criminals
legally. Most of our State governmentss have constantly failed in one or all
of these things. Kentucky is still ringing with a recent mockery of justice:
in Texas a mol) tore a negro prisoner from the presence of the judge and
jury: during the past vear Pennsylvania has been the scene of repeated
riots, murders, and destruction of property through inability to maintain
order. Enough of such instances could be given to fill this paper, but these
are sufficient to show that our State government machinery is defective
And what is the great defect? It is the dividing and the subdividing of official responsibility until no one remains wholly responsible for anything,
and efficiency is thus destroyed. For without responsibility there can he
no efficiency. Too many officers are elective; the voters cannot possibly
know about all, or even one-half, or one-quarter, of the men they vote for.
Let a host of minor offices be appointive. Let a few highest positions be
elective and highly paid. Let those chosen to these positions have the power
to appoint, promote and dismiss their subordinates. And let these chosen
few be accountable for their actions to the people through the machinery
of the recall. In that way will efficiency be rewarded, deficiency punished,
and men of ability and patriotism be drawn to public service because on
them will fall the responsibility and the glory of good government.
LA OPORTUNIDAD DE ARIZONA
Muy pronto (y mientras mas protno mejor) Arizona terminard en largo
peri6do de su caracter politico como territorio y sera. elevado A Estado figurando como el 47 0 . Estado de la Union. Ningun patriota americano que
esté bien enterado del constante desarrollo de sus elementos y las altas
aspiraciones de sus mejores ciudadanos, con sus energias y sus esperanzas,
dejara de sentire ansioso en que se apruebe la ley que admita a Arizona como
Estado.
La perspectiva de este acontecimiento levanta en el pecho de todo creyente en la democracia la esperanza de que al forrnar su Constituci6n. Arizona se aprovechard de la experiencia de sus cuarenta y sets predecegores.
Estos has marcado el sendero que puede mejorarse considerablemente.
Atraviesa por lugares insegures donde el bienestar publico esta y ha estado
expuesto A zozobrar. Para citar un caso solarnente quien baya fijado la
mirada en nuestra carrera nacional, tendria justificada raz6n para informarnos que al emanciparnos de Inglaterra y de la monarquia, simplemente hemos cambiado el divino derecho de los reyes, por el derecllo divao de los
ferrocarrilles. Por otra parte en nuestras luchas reaccionarias para cor: eOr este exceso de poder de las corporaciones, hemos puesto de m inifiesto
.
May 5, 1910
nuestro caracter americano rnixto de buenos intenciones, impaciencia y mal
concepto. La ley de Sherman por ejemplo es una lev de aficionados y mal
concebida que constituye un barron en nuestros estatutos. Es nna nnestra
de un incompetencia federal bien intencionada, pero no es comparable d
las leYes tontas y perniciosas que han sido iniciadas y aprobadas por algunos
de los legisladores de nuestros Estados, prohibiendo d los ferrocarriles que
cobran mas de dos centavos por railla, sin invetigar sobre la densidad de la
poblaci6n 6 el costo del transporte al ferrocarril.
Los americanos no ban usado de bastante criterio en sus institutciones,
presumiendo que son las mejoras instituciones que puedan existir. Esto es
una condicidn que estorba al progreso y peligrosa en extremo, pues ninguna
instituci6n puede considerarse perfecta, sino que debe seguir los pasos
el progreso de la nacidn. Hemos por ejemplo averiguado que en 1910, nuestro servicio de correos se maneja por métodos de 1835. Imaginese lo que
resultaria si los ferrocarriles hicieran lo mismo! Si hemos sido muy indulgentes en criticar, el gran critico que se llama Consecuencias no he permanecido ocioso. Con los reveses que hemos sufrido de las consecuencias, el
pueblo americano ha despertoda y Ilagado d comprender que estas instituclones necesitan de reformas. Galveston lo ha comprendido asi como Des
Moines y Boston. Ahora es la grande oportunidad para Arizona de comenzar
su obra con nueva maquinaria y no continuar con el modelo viejo de gobierno de Estado que ha fracasado de varios modos en otros Estados.
Que es lo que debe hacer un Gobierno de Estado? Tres cosas sobre
todo; mantener el Orden; proteger las vidas y la propiedad; y castigar
legalmente d los criminales. La mayor parte de nuestros Estados han fracasado constantemente en uno 6 en todos estos objetos. Kentucky todovia
signe en su administraci6n de justicia que es una farsa. En una de las cortes
de California se puso en libertad A un criminal por una sutileza trivial, al
abominable mayo; de su mas famosa ciudad. En Texas durante el invierno
pasado una turba arrebat6 de las manos del Juez y el jurado A un negro.
Durante al ado pasado, el Estado de Pennsylvania ha sido el teatro de repetidos y sangrientos motines, asesinatos y destrucci6n de propierares por la
inhabilida d en montener el Orden. Podia citar bastantes ejemplos que 11enanan este periddico, pero basta con estos para demostrar lo defectuoso de
la maquinaria de nuestro Gobierno de Estado.
Y cual es el gran defecto? Lo es la divisi6n y subdivisi6n de la responsabilidad hasta que nadie es responsablle por nada, y se destruye asi la
eficiencia. Pues donde no hay responsabilidad, no hay eficiencia. Se elijen muchos empleados. Los votantes no tienen pleno conocimiento do to
dos ellos, ni la mitad, ni la cuarta parte de las personas por quienes votan.
Que su numbre un gran numero de empleados; que se elijan A amplesdos de alta categoria y se les pagne bien; que los que sean elejidos tengan
el derecho de nombrar, ascender y remover A las subalternos. Y que los pocos que sean electos se hagan responsables al pueblo en sus actos por medio
del derecho de 'destituci6n. De ese modo se dard mayor valor A la eficiencia y se castigara la deficiencia y sera llamados al servicio public° hombres
de habilidad y patriotismo porque en ebbs recaerd. la responsabilidad y la
gloria de un huen Goblerno.

EXICO has twice struggled with heroism for its independence; at the beginning of the nineteenth cen
tury when Hidalgo and other heroes, gave their
blood to obtain emancipation from the Spanish yoke
and on the second third of the same century, when
it resisted the oonquering hosts of Napoleon III,
when he tried to plant a monarchy in opposition to
the free American democratic principles.
In the year 1861 the Mexican liberal party had
defeated the retrograding party, by enforcing a
constitution which proclaimed religious and political liberty, abolished special privileges and immunities and opened through the emancipation of ideas.
a wider horizon for national aggrandizement.
The reactionary element, deprived of its former
and uncontrasted power, appealed to the aid of the
old monarchies of Europe and succeeded in having
England, France and Spain sign a convention in
London on the 31st of October to send an armed ex-
pedition to demand from the constituted government
unjust claims and to exact satisfactions that were
unwarranted and humiliating.
The national territory was invaded in January 1862 and President
Juarez, Jesiring to save his country from conflict of dire consequences,
sent his Minister Doblado to confer with the agents of the nations in coalition. This renowned diplomat succeeded. A treaty was signed at La
Soledad, Vertm Cruz, on the 19th of the following month of February by
which the three powers agreed to recognize the legitimacy of the government and to fix the bases for the settlement of the Pretended claims. The
French agent Saligny, as false as his emperor, declared the treaty null
and void and his signature worthless and made known the intentions ot
conquest on the part of Imperial France. The commanding officers ot
the English and Spanish expeditions protested against the Napoleonic
attempt, reproached the treachery of Saligny, and withdrew their troops
from the occupied territory, leaving France to assume the esponsibility
cf the undertaking.
The war commenced which should later indicate the French despot's
lack of prestige and later the downfall of his empire, thus bringing the
glorious achievement of the second independence of Mexico.
The distinguished General Ignacio Zaragoza had charge of the defense
of the national honor as commander of the sons of Anahuac who hurriedly rallied to measure their arms, with those who proudly called themselves the first soldiers of the world.
Zaragoza. a military genius and undaunted patriot, selected the City
of Peubla to oppose the invaders; with the Sparatan valor of his soldiers
and with 3,700 men at his disposal, he awaited the dreadful attack of
the legions who brought with them the laurels obtained at Sebastopol and
Solferino.
General Laurences, at the head of 6,000 men admirably organized.
disdaining the petty force opposing him, attempted to take possession of the
provisional or temporary fortress at Puebla, but his four columns were repulsed, a new attack was met with vigorous resistance and a later attack was
resisted with a greater energy in the defense which was transformed into an
active pursuit. The column which took the offensive was commanded by the
I resent President of the Republic, then a young general, Porfirio Diaz, who,
with undaunted courage, charged as an avalanche, compelling the brilliant
invaders to retreat.
Laurences, who had written to Europe stating that he was master of
Mexico, with his 6,000 soldiers, suffered heavy losses in this encounter
and had to retreat towards Vera Cruz; the sun of victory shone brightly
(.n the brows of Zaragoza and his warriors and the national arms, as he
stated in his report, were covered with everlasting glory.
The disaster at Puebla had a depressing effect in France and Napoleon, angered at the defeat, excited French pride to avenge the humiliation; then an expedition composd of 40,000 solclirs was organized, selected

Five years latex, when the emphemeral empire founded by the ambition of the last Napoleon tumbled under the attack of the republican
army and Archduke Maximilian paid with his life for his adventure, the
victors at Queretro remembered vividly the undying faith that they had
in the cause and which they had carried in their hearts since the memorable

which now circles the globe, having buildings in forty different countries,
and property in this country alone amounting to sixty million is looked upon
as almost a necessity by our progressive American cities.
The Young Men's Christian Association in the South west is under the
direction of a Territorial Committee with headquarters in El Paso. This committee supervise and extend the work in Arizona, New Mexico, west Texas,
and Sonora, Mexico. The first building was erected at Las Vegas, New Mex.
ico, five years ago, then followed the work at Bisbee where the Copper
Queen Mining company turned over the $75,000 club house to the association to operate, Douglas followed with a $40,000 building, then El Paso with
a $120,000 plant, last year the College building costing $15,000 was completed at Mesilla Park, N. M. Phoenix is now finishing her $100,000 building, which will be opened this fall. Miami, Arizona, will have a building
this year, the Miami Mining company having appropriated $10,000 for its
erecti,on. The total value of these buildings will amount to $400,000. It
has lleen the policy of the territorial committee to discourage organization
until there is a building in sight. This makes the number of associations
small, but gives a permanency to the work.
The five associations now in operation are serving annually over 3,000
young men and boys in its various departments, classes in bookkeeping,
penmanship, typewriting stenography, assaying, mechanical drawing are
carried on. One association reports over 200 members have taken Spanish.
In the physical department courses in scientific body-building are given by
trained instructors, while athletics and gymnastic games furnish recreation,
and the shower baths and swimming pools are appreciated luxuries. Lectures, debates, Bible classes and men's meetings appeal to the mental and
moral natures of the Young men, while billiards, pool and bowling attract
him socially.
The association furnishing, as it does, opportunity to the young man to
improve himself physically, mentally, morally and socially, is appealing ta
the men of wealth in our country, and large gifts are coming in for buildings.
and equipment. Boston has just raised $500,000, while Chicago has cornpleted her million dollar endoWment fund.

Tucson—the Indians. They founded the San Xavier Mission,
which stands today a monument to their high principle, courage
and religious zeal.
My mission is to the smokers of Tucson. My cigar is the San

men at work—and still I'm behind on orders. It's a cigar which
is made on principle, and every puff behind the first trial is an advertisement for me for the next ten years.

The food problem is divided into two parts: First, get
the food. Second, cook the food
.
If you can satisfactorily solve the first half, we can help
you to an easy answer to the second.
Bake, boil, stew, fry or roast YOUR FOOD—not YOURSELF.
Cook with gas. A thousand Utile heat-giants are lying
dormant in your kitchen, waiting your call. Use them
when you want them. Banish them when you are through
by a twist of the wrist.
The Dollar Problem
Try one of our RESSURRECTION TABLETS for a moribund business—an electric sign.
It draws the dollars to the store using it, because it displays your goods hours longer than your rival can show

La poblaci6n del Territorio se ha ocupado menos a ultimas
la cuestion par Estado, que por largo tiempo anteriormente. Este no es
porque el asunto carezca de vital importancia, para nosotros con especialidtd, tamaco Porque la maYoria del public° desconozca su importancia ni debido A que esté menos interesado en adquiria esto; la causa es la incertidumbre que existe en el dnimo del public° acerca de la aprobaci6n en el
Congreso del proyecto de ley concediendo la ereccidn del Estado, la que ha
hecho parecer de menos importancia actual la necesidad de preparaci6n, suspendiendo las discusiones y la expresidn de la opini6n.
encargados de hacer una constitutei6n permanente sin caracter de partido
Y trazada en un plan elevado de progresista ciudadanfa americana.
L6gicamente la elecci6n de delegados debera, hacerse entre las filas de
los no partidarioS; practicamente y presumo que se hard segun los partidos
porque no hay otro método mas conveniente, pero el buen sentide de nuestro
pueblo, consciente de la responsabilidad que se les confia, nulificarâ todo
atentado de cualquiera parte, si se intentare, para obtener ventajas de parentide. En la maYorta de los Condados del Territorio el voto es casi igual
tre los principales partidos politicos y el pueblo ha aprendido per fortuna,
hace largo tiempo como votar en un boleto dividido. En esta elecci6n con
mayor raz6n que en cualquiera otra anterior la cuestidn de partido debe
ser hecha a un lado poi el votante inteligente. Entre dos hombres debe de
ser escog:do el mejor calificado, segun la estimacidn del votante, para los
importantes deberes que desempedara, sin cuidarse si es republicano 6 demdcrata, y con tal cuerpo de personas atentas a las neeesidades de la oca.si6n y penetradas en el criterio de su gran responsabilidad no hay temor p3r
el resultado que se obtenga ya sea la mayorfa demberata 6 republicans. En
ninguna entidad politica de nuestra naci6n existe mayor orgullo y lealtad
por su soberanfa y sus instituciones que en Arizona. En ninguna parte se
encuentran hombres y mujeres mas patribticos y mas persuadidos de las
doctrinas de la civilizaci6n y ciudadanfa americana.
Estamos todos perfeetamente impuestos de las responsabilidades, privilegios y oportunidades que pronto tendremos y ninguna constitucién que
no sea segugra, sana, flexible, respetable y apreciada por otros, satisracera
nuestro pueblo. Tal constituci6n la obtendremos de la convencifin si cada
votante, conociendo su obligaci6n y sin hacer case de partidos ni de las designaciones de estos, elige entre los delegados. por los que vaya A vota: lus
hombres que segun su opinidn estén mejor dotados por su saber, instritecidn, temperamento y sentido comun para conseguir los resaltados que desea.
A TUCSON HOME.
Ha esperado nuestro pueblo por tantos ados, confiadamente, la inmediata realizacidn de sus esperanzas de obtener la creacidn del Estado, recibiendo luego desengaftos, que el sentimiento general considera prematura
discusi6n de los medios y marieras referentes al gobierno propio hasts, quIP
el logru de la esperanza diferida venga â entusiasmar los col'azones desalentados.
Si no fuera por tantas desilusiones en lo pasado, considearfamos ahora como asegurado el cumplimiento de nuestros deseos.
Ambos partidos se han declarado por el proyecto en sus plataformat
siendo el Presidente nuestro mas ardiente partidario y, de acuerdo con informes fidedignos, los leaders en ambas camaras han convenido en la aprobaciem del proyecto de ley durante el prescrite periodo de sesiones. Por I(
tanto, aunque ninguno de nosotros tenga certidumbre hasta la aprobaci6i
de la ley, hay indicios bastante favorables sobre esto para creer prudent(
comenzar â hacer nuestros preparativos para la condicidn de Estado.
El primer° de estos preparativos y el mas importante, es la convencitin constitucional y sus resultados, supuesto que la constituci6n es el clmiento sobre el cual se construira nuestro Estado en lo futuro. Tal cimiento debe ver fuerte y sustancial capaz de sostener la estructura y bastante
amplio para dar cabida A las alteraciones y adiciones que se necesiten en
cualquiera tiempo para el desarrollo y extensi6n del edificio. Y no solo
para nuestras necesidades debe la constituci6n ser sabiamente formada sine
tambien en obsequio de nuestro buen nombre y reputaci6n entre nuestros
vecinosl Asf como el individuo desea tener buen concepto entre los que lo
rodean de igual manera lin Estado deberfa ser celoso de su buen nombre
entre la entidades hermanas y entre la poblaci6n que los componga. El Estado de Arizona ser a juzgado per otros en un futur° pr6ximo, principalmente por dos particularidades: la primera por el género y caracter de constituci6n que adopte y la segunda por la capacidad intelectual y moral de
los senadores de cualquiera partido â quienes se mandara para que la representen en el Senado de los Estados Unides. Nuestro buen 6 mal tacto en
estas dos importantes materias determinara el juicio del resto del pais sobre si somos 6 no, como pretendemos, una comunidad intellgente é ilustrada
apta para tener Estado y capaz de ocupar un lugar prominente entre la hermandad de Estados.
Aunque el asunto de la elecci6n de senadores nos concierne altamente,
no demanda inmediata atenci6n; no asf la selecci6n de los representantes
en nuestra convenci6n constitucional. De acuerdo con las estipulaciones del
proyecto de ley para la ereccién del Estado, segun ha sido informado por el
comité de territorios en el Senado, la fecha que designe el gobernador para
la elecci6n de los delegados â la convenci6n constitucional, 'deberd ser no anterior â sesenta dias ni posterior â noventa despues de que el proyecto
ley sea sancionado por el Presidente: La elecci6n de delegados â la convenci6n constituctonal debera ser por consiguiente dentro de tres meses despues
de la aprobaci6n de la ley y es por lo mismo asunto de actual importancia
para todos nosotros.
Los partidarios politicos no tendran lugar en las deliberariones y acetones no tendran peso como contrarias al 'deber manifiesto y alto privilegio
del cuerpo colectivo que forma nuestra constituci6n v RI 9. mandan hornbres idoneos d que nos representen tales cons'deraciones concedido a las
El trabajo de la convenci6n no debe ser prolongado. El mejor género
de constitucidn, despues de todo no es una tares de exagerada magnitud
aunque de gran importancia. La constituci6n deberfa ser una declaracién
de principios de gobierno mas bien que un plan para gobernar; un bosquejo
de principios esenciales comprensibles en lugar de una rninuciosa especificacidn de detalles; una estructura bastante amplia y ductil para permitir un
comoro en sus condiciones en vez de un complet° edificio susceptible de
crecimiento solo per medio de alteraciones.
Lo mismo que los organizadores de una corporac:6n adoptan uns carta
6 escritura constitutiva bajo la cual pueden proceder d conducir los negoclos para los cuales se incorporaron, dejando A los directores que sean eleclos, la formaci6n y adopci6n de los estatutos que estipulardn los detalles
para el rnanejo de los negocios. las facultades de una convencidn son las de
tormar un plan general de gobierno que contenga los requis:tos esenciales
para el bnen gobierno de un Estado dejando A las legtslaturas posteriores el
lerecho de expedir las disposiciones necesarias para la adopcidn y prosecusi6n del plan gubernativo formado. Por mas sabla y conveniente que sea
cria medida si no es un requisite 6 principio de gobierno esencial y fundanental, no tiene lugar en la constitucifm. Un solo peligre tenemos
'rente y este es el de que los constituyentes caigan en error de legislar en
lugar de hacer una constittici6n.
Si la distinci6n entre las verdaderas funciones de una convenci6n conltitticional y una legislatnra se tiellen presentes y son observadas poco debemos temer que la constituci6n que se presente para su adepcidn y aprobaei6n defraude nuestras elevadas esperanzas.

HALLEY'S COMET
By PROFESSOR A. E. DOUGLAS.
University of Arizona.
RE we going to run into Halley's comet or is the
comet going to run into us? Is there to be a great
:::k 0 ..!<. '
display of celestial fireworks, or will the collision
li: n ..:•.'126
pass off without our knowing anything about it?
Will poisonous gases enter our atmosphere and kill
us all, and if so, will one of them be nitrous oxide gas,
so that we all die laughing? Is the comet now visible, and if so, where and at what hour?
These are the questions everyone is interested in
and asking. I know, because I have been asked them
all. The last one is best answered first. On the 5th
of May the comet vil be visible in the eastern sky
between 3 and 4 o'clock in the ruornig. Its position will be a little north of the east point and a
little south of the place where the sun rises, with
tail extending upward, but decidedly inclined to
the right. As seen from the city of Tucson it will
be over the lower north slopes of the Rincon mountains. Its height will not be over one-fourth the
angle from the horizon to the point overhead. It
will rival the beautiful planet Venus, which is a
little south of east. Ignorant outsiders might mis
take that planet for the comet itself, but we who celebrate El Cinco
Mayo and the advent of new railroads are so accustomed to fine views of
the stars that we cannot commit that error at the time of our celebration.
The moon is just out of the way, so that the view will be especially favorable. From full moon on the 24th of April to last quarter on May 2d, the
moon has been too bright for the comet to be seen at its best, but from
May 5th to the 12th, there will be no moon in the way and all conditions
Cit It 0 'tV
ea
......,"
„
will be most desirable.
Since the end of March Halley's comet has been coming almost straight
towards us. At that time it was over one hundred and sixty million miles
away. On April 24th it was one hundred million miles distant and by
May 10th will be but forty millions. After that it begins to turn a little
to one side and cuts in between us and the sun, which it crosses on May
18th at about sunset at a distance from us of a mere fourteen million
miles. Since the tail of a comet always points away from the sun, it will
be on that date in the evening that we pass through the tail of this one.
Then is the time to make our wills and get into your cyclone cellars. But
unfortunately, unlike the scorpion, the tail is the harmless part. We can
see it well enough, but nothing on this earth approaches it in thinness
( except perhaps the honesty of a recent explorer). The United States
VVeather Bureau and many astronomical observatories are making extensive
preparations for testing any effect this encounter may have on the earth or
its atmosphere, but the only tear is that the most sensitive inA,i olnEnts
known to modern science will fail utterly to give the least sign that anything unusual is happening. lt is remotelr possible that one eeect might
be visible to us all. The tail of a comet is supposed to lave a considerable
quantity of dust in it, widely scattered out. If some of this should get in
our atmosphere it might change the color of the sky and produce brilliant,
red sunsets, as happened in 1883, after the eruption of Kakatoa. Now the
questions with which we started out are answered.
By the 20th of May the comet will be visible low in the northwestern
sky, with tail leaning to the south. On the following day the bead reaches
its nearest approach to the earth, twelve millions of miles, and that would
be our best view, except for the moon, which conies to the full on the 24th,
and naturally will make other objects appear less brilliant. However, after
the 24th the time of moonrise grows rapidly later and for a few days all conditions will again be favorable. It will then be visible all through the month
of June.
The coming of this comet just at the time of our celebrations is clearly
a sign of the greatest good luck and indicates, without doubt, an era
uninterrupted prosperity until its return seventy-five years hence. And even
then, if it finds everything satisfactory, it will doubtless renew its Pledges
of good times.

la ciudad de Tucson aparecerd sobre las mas pendientes mas bajas de la
sierra del Rincon. Su altura no sera mayor de un cuarto del angulo formado del horizonte al punto sobre la cabeza. Rivalizard en belleza con el planeta venus que estd en poco hacia el Sureste. Algunos de fuera pueden tomar el planeta por el cometa pero nosotros que celebraremos el Cinco de
Mayo y la llegada de nuevos ferrocarriles estamos tan acostumbrados al
hermoso espectdculo de los astros que no podremos cometer ese error al tiempo de nuestra celebratci6n sino que tal vista sera especialmente favorable. Desde la luna llena, el 24 de Abril, hasta el cuarto menguante en
Mayo 2 el brillo de la luna dismunird la radiosidad del cometa, pero del 5
al 12 de Mayo, que no habrd luna de por medio, las condiciones serdn enterameute favorables. El cometa de Halley desde el fin de Marzo se dirige
hacia nosotros casi en linea recta; en ese tiempo estaba mds de ciento sesenta millones de millas distante de la tierra; el 24 de Abril estara unicamente d cien millones de millas de distancia y el 10 de Mayo d cuarenta miRoues. Pasando esta fecha comenzard d desviarse interponiendose entre la
tierra y el sol, cruzando el 18 de Mayo cerea de la puesta del sol d una distancia de nosotros de solo catorce rnillones de millas. Como la cauda de un
cometa siempre est& hacia la parte opuesta el sol, en la floche del citado dia
pasaremos d través de la misma. Entonces sera el tempo de hacer testamento y refugiarse en el lugar mas seguro: desafortunadamente la cola de
un cometa, distinta de la del alacrdn, es la parte mas inofensiva. Nosotros
podremos ver esto bastante bien, pero nada en la tierra se le tsemejard en

cauda de un cometa se cree que contiene una considerable cantidad de polvo

May 5, OW
THE ARIZONA HEALTH LEAGUE
By MRS.
OTTO CROUSE, President.
Tucson, a growing city of increasing fame as a health resort, could
boast of not a single non-sectarian public charity until the Arizona Health
League was organized five years ago as the logical outcome of an imperative
necessity.
The objects, as stated in the constitution, were to be purely philanthropic. "Systematic visiting ot the sick, judiciously assisting those unable
to pay for medical treatment or nursing, and to ameliorate the condition of
health seekers in every practical manner. To print, collect and distribute
literature upon the cause, cure and prevention of tuberculosis. To devise
methods for the protection of the public health, and to guard the community against tubercular and other infection. To enforce such ordinances as
already exist and to procure the enactment of sanitary laws deemed advisable for the health ot the people."
Since its inception hundreds of individuals have benefitted in varying
degrees and many a poor sufferer has risen from a bed of pain to call the
League blessed. This winter a promising start has been made toward a tubercular sanitorium for incipient cases; at present there are accommodations for eight men with sufficient land for expansion as tent houses are
donated.
If our treasury permits next season a central building for reading and
recreation will be erected affording more protection from extrenie weather,
also alleviating the monotonous existence, and infinitely increasing the comfort of the prisoners of hope.
St. Mary's Sanitarium has served as a haven of refuge for our advanced
cases: no one has ever proved too exacting and no disease too revolting for
the exercise of the Sisters of St. .Toseph's charitable forbearance and tender

care. In addition to the regular relief work among destitute consumptives a
gradually increasing number of Tucson families have been piloted through
the troubled waters of life. Widows have been succored, orphans provided
for, unemployed men have secured work and the problems of many non-tubercular sick are solved by the co-opelatou or our eve: willing physicians
and the Whitwell, Rogers and County hospitals.
With the approach of a "greater Tucson," due to increased railroad
facilities, there is a recognized need for a "Day Nursery," where women with
children under school age can leave their infants in safety while earning
their daily bread. This plan to help women, otherwise county charges, to be
self supporting has proved practical in even small villages. Whether the
situation will demand the enlargment of the recently formed "Central Reiief Committee" into a "Board of Associated Charities" remains for the
future to disclose. Perhaps it hinges on the question of whether, with the
broadening of the work of the League to cover practically all cases of illness, increased subscriptions and additional workers will be forthcoming.
There seems no adequate reason why every energetic, broad-minded
woman of philanthropic inclinations should not now affiliate with the present organization, for during the past year almost every form of charity has
been demanded of workers.
The sanitary and educat:onal departments have not been negle^ted:
acldres ..s have been made, literature distributed, school children nterested
through prizes, sanitary calendars issued, cupless drinking fountains pro( ured, reforms instituted through the City Council and matters of hygiene

TUCSON AS A MUSICAL CENTER
By MRS. S. HEINEMAN.
President Saturday Morning Musical Club.
Music has a place in the great universal scheme of things, and its place
is a necessary one, an important one. We are told that there is no other
study that soothes the over-wrought nervous system and acts as a stimulus
to man, woman or child, as music.
It is only of recent date that Tucson has awakened to the fact that in
her midst musicians of very high character and the club feels proud
to know that the pianists here have been pupils of teachers of fame such as
Lechetisky, Godowsky, Carl Faelton of Boston, Herr Becker and others of

phere in our city. The club consists of pianists and vocalists. The meetings
were held at the homes of the members twice 't month, and the club realized
that the work in time would promote musical intercourse in Tuoson.
The public became interested in the work of this club, and evinced a
strong desire to hear their programs. To meet this wish and the growth of
the organization it was decided to branch out, which necessitated seeking
more spacious quarters. The club is now comfortably housed in the Old
Pueblo Club building.
There are sixty-five associate members, twenty-three active members
and twelve students. The programs are arranged the beginning of the season, so the active members are aware of the time they will appear before the
club.
The student section is a most interesting part of this club work. It is
a wonderful opportunity for those who are fortunate enough to be members
of this section. The young ladies devote a great deal of time to the work
allotted them, and the privilege of hearing the programs as rendered by
the active members is an incentive to them.
The club hopes to be able to bring some of the well known artists to
Tucson next ,season, which means a great thing for the club and public at
large, and to be able to accomplish this, it is necessary to secure the co-operation of all the music-loving people of our city.
The club has had a most successful year, and altogether the season hat
been a distinct stimulus to the intellect of the community as well as a musical treat.

teniendo la idea de estudiar las obras de los cldsicos autiguos asi como las
de aquellos de la escuelas moderna, creando asi un ambiente musical en
nuestra ciudad. Es sorprendente la aplicaci6n que demostraron los mlembros y las muchas horas que dedicaron diariamente d este trabajo. El Club
se compone de pianistas y cantantes; las juntas se han tenido en las casas
de los miembros, dos veces al mes, y el club comprende que con el tiempo su
trabajo provocard en Tucson un desarrollo musical.
El publica comenz6 d interesaise en sus trabajos y d. demostrar gran
trabajo que les estâ desiguado, siendo para ellas un incentivo el privilegio
que tienen de oir los programas.
El Club espera poder traer à. Tucson, en la pr6xima estaci6n, algunos
de los artistas mas conocidos lo que significa un acontecimiento para la sociedad. y para el publico tucsonense en general y para poder llevar â cabo
este proyecto es indispensable la cooperaciron de todos los amantes de la musica aqui residentes.

When the Southern Pacifie Company of Mexico was
organized and the building of the line from Guaymas
to Guadalajara was begun, the people of Tucson were
quick to realize the advantageous position of theii
.ity and the necessity of making of it the American terminal of this great
system. The existing line from Tucson to Nogales was a circuitous route
by way of Benson. A line hed already been built from Tucson up the
Santa Cruz valley as far as Twin Buttes and there remained a gap of about
thirty miles of road to be constructed to give Tucson a direct line to Nogales.
The Tucson Chamber of Commerce at once took the matter up with the
Southern Pacifie Company and were advised by that corporation that the
roposed line would ultimately be built, but that it would not pay to construct it for three or four years, when it is expected that the line to Guadalajara will be in operation.
The Chamber of Commerce immediately proposed to pay the interest on
the cost of constr.uction of the line for five years at thirty thousand dollars
per year. The Southern Pacifie Company agreed to build the
line under these conditions and the people of Tucson voted $150,000 in
bonds last August. This bond issue has not been approved by Congress as
yet, but the company, in order to secure tax exemptions, granted by the
Arizona legislature at its last session, went ahead with the construction of
the new line.
Since last summer industrial conditions in Southern Arizona have
improved to such an extent that it seems probable that the new railroad
will pay from the start.
The people of Tucson, who had already, through their enterprise
secured the new road were quick to prepare for an appropriate cele-

Committee on Arrangements, sub-committees were appointed and in a short
time $10,000 had been raised to spend in entertaining the city's guests and
in preparation fcr the celebration.
The new railroad, which has now been completed, really makes Tucson the terminal of the great trunk line building down the West Coast of
Mexico. This line reac hes the border at Nogales and connects with the
Southern Pacifie Company at Tucson, seventy-five miles north, in a direct.
line, from the International boundary. In a few years Tucson confidently'
expects that through passenger trains will be run from San Fran .isco to
the City of Mexico by way of the . Southern Pacifie Company to Tucson and
by way of the Scuthen Pacifie Company of Mexico from Tucson to ti,e. City
of Mexico.
Recently when eastern interests announced that a • railroad would be
Luilt from Port Lobos on the Gulf of California to Sasco, where the smelter

took steps to make their city the terminal of this new tidewater line and

THE CORONADO AND GARCES
NATIONAL FORESTS
By ROBERT J. SELKIRK, Forest Supervisor
N TUCSON are now located the supervisor's offices
of the Coronado and Carces National Forests. In
order to facilitate the administration of these for_t11 1_
I (7
ests the headquarters of the Coronado National Forest were transferred from Benson last spring, and
again last fall the consolidation of the Coronado
and Carces National Forests was affected, with the
transfer also of the headquarters of the latter forest to this city.
A total of a little over 1,610,000 acres are under the administration of this office embraced within the Santa Catalina, Santa Rita, Dragoon, Huachuca, Canille, Patagonia, Tumacacori and Baboquivari ranges. In order to afford prompt attention in
timber sales, grazing matters, etc., to all users of
the forests, the country included is divided into
fourteen districts, each district in charge of an experienced ranger.
One of the most important phases of pe..manent improvement work is at present being .!ar.led
on in these two forests is the improving of springs and watering places. In
the past, in many sections, large areas have been of no value on account of
lack of water. The improvemets will tend to conserve a supply of water
which enables these ranges to be used throuughout the season. Another
fature of improvement work in the grazing line is the construction of drift
fences for the purpose of keeping stock within the area allotted to them,
and this also saves time in rounding up.
In addition to the permanent improvement and other administrative
work experiments at the same time are being carried on in national forests
with the aim of eventually obtaining the highest possible yield of forest material per acre. Forest planting and careful marking of the trees to be cut
I('
May 5, 1910
and those to be left for seed in timber sales have much to do with this as
well as tests which are being made to determine the best possible utilization of every one of the forest products. It is largely owing to the fact
that at present we waste more wood than any other nation that it is estimated, considering the forests of the country as a whole, that we are takin g of the forests each year three times as much as they grow In ',his
connection it is interesting to note that as against an average yearly growth
of 12 cubic feet per acre in the 'hided States the forests in Germany, all of
which are rightly handled, yield each year 48 cubic feet per acre and their
most common trees do not grow naturally as fast as ours. It is certain that
the average annual yield of forests in this country can be made, through
protection from fire and through conservative logging, much larger than
that of the forests of Germany. Our national forest management has already shown that we can practically stop forest fires at a total yearly cost
of one-fifth the value of the standing timber burned each year.
With Arizona's increasingly great development in agriculture, horticulture and mining, her forest growth will become a correspondingly valuable asset in meeting the requirements on forest products which the development in these lines will demand. In this respect Arizona is fortunate in a
good many ways. To the casual traveller it is not generally apparent that
Arizona has some of the finest stands of western yellow pine in the world.
The best grades of this timber compare very favorably on the market with
the famed white pine of the east. A large block of this timber is located in
a long belt extending from Flagstaff through central and eastern Arizona
estimated at 7,000,000 feet, of which over 80 per cent is western yellow
pine. Timber within the national forests may be purchased subject only
to such restrictions as are essential in providing for a present and future
supply to meet local demands, and the regulation of the cut necessary to
e continued forest production. When we come to consider the fact
that the industries in this country which subsist wholly or mainly upon
wood, pay the wages of more than 1,500,000 men and women and that the
industries which use wood wholly or mainly in manufacture represent an
investment of over $2,250,000,000 and yield each year a product worth
$3,000,000,000, the importance of its conservation is strikingly great.
The national forest in Arizona, together with those in New Mexico,
Arkansas, Oklahoma and Florida are under the supervision of the district
forester at Albuquerque, New Mexico,

por
ROBERT J. SELKIRK
Superintendente de [,osques
.
Las oficinas del inspector de los basques nacionales "Coronado" y "Garcés" estan actualmente establecidas en Tucson.
Para facilitar la administracion de estos basques fueron traidas de
Benson las oficinas del "Coronado" en la primavera pasada y con el cambio
a esta ciudad, en el siguuiente otofin, de las oficinas del bosque nacional
"Garcés" se efectuo la union de ambos.
Un total de poco mds de 1,610,000 acres esta, bajo la administracion
de esta oficina. la que abarca los montes de Santa Catalina, Santa Rita, Dragood, Huachuca, Canille, Patagonia, Tumacacori y Baboquivari. Con ely
objeto de atender con prontitud d la venta de maderas, pastos, etc., la region
esta dividida en catorce distritos cada lino al cargo de un experimentado
administrador.
bUna de las mas importantes faces en el trabajo de constante mejoramiento que se estd al presente haciereo en estos basques es la del perfeccionmiento de los manantiales y aguajes. Anteriormente en diferentes partes grandes areas carecian de valor por falta de agua. Las mejoras tienden
d conservar abastecirnientos de agua que permitan su uso en todas las estaclones. Otra de los mejoras en materia de pastos es la construccion de cercas con el fin de guardar el ganado dentro de los limites que tenga asignados y que evita el tiempo empleado en juntarlo.
En adicion â las meporas permanentes y â los trabajos de administraclan se haben experimentos encaminados d obtener el mayor rendimiento
posible de productos forestales por acre. La plantacion y el cuidado en
marcar los drboles que deben ser cortados asf como aquellos destinados
permanecer para la propagacion, siempre que se efectua alguna venta de
madera tiene mucha importancia asf corno las pruebas que me estdn verificando para determinar la mejor utilization posible de cada uno de los productos. Debido â que al presente desperdiciomas mfis maclera que cualquiera otra nacion se estima que, considerando en cunjunto los basques del pals,
estamos quitando cada afio de ellos tres veces mas madere de la que crece.
En relacion con esto es interesante hacer notar que, contra el promedio de
un crecimiento annal de 12 pies cubicos poi acre en los basques de los Estados Unidos, en Alemania donde estfin todos bien cuidados tienen cada afio
lin rendimiento de 48 pies cubicos por acre con la corcunstancia de que sus
drboles en general no crecen naturalmente tan pronto como los nuestros.
Sin embargo el promedio del rendimiento anua Ide basques puede hacerse
n este pals, con la proteccion contra incendios y cortes de madera conservativos, mayor que el de los basques de Alemania. Nuestra direccion de basques nacionales ha demostrado que podemos aficazmente evitar los inceu-
dios d un costo total par afao de una quinta parte del valor de los firboles
que se queman cada afio.
A la vez que Arizona tiene un gran desarrollo crecieute en aggricultUra, horticultura y minerfa el 'crecimiento de sus basques vendra fi tener un
valor correspondiente de manera que los productos forestales tengan eclarion
con los requerimientos que el desarrollo de los otros ramas demanda. En
este respecto Arizona es afortunada de diferentes modos: para el viajero
fortuito no es generalnaente aparente que Arizona tiene lama de producir
pino amarillo del Oeste del de mejor calidad en el mundo. La clase
superior de esta maclera resiste una favorable comparacion con el pino blanco del Este. Un gran bosque de esta maclera se encuentra en la larga faja
que se extiende de Flagstaff d lar parte del centra y del oriente de Arizona
eotimfindose en 7,000,000 M de pies de los cuales un achenta por ciento es
pino amarina del oeste.
La maclera de los basques nacionales puede comprarse sujetandose unicarnente â aquellas restricciones necesarias para atender al abastecimiento
presente y futur° de las necesidades locales y a. las reglas sobre el carte indispensables para asegurar la produccion posterior.
Cuando consideramos el hecho que las industrias en este pals que dependen total o principalmente del usa de maclera pagan los salarias de mas
de 1,500,000 personas, homores y mujeres y que las industrias que usan
principal o totalmente la madera en sus manufacturas representan unua inversion mayor de $2.250,000,000 rindiendo uun producto annal de $3,000,000,000 facilmente podemos deducir que la importancia de su conservacion
es grandisima.
Los basques nacionales en Arizona juntamente con los de Nuevo México, Arkansas, Oklahoma y Florida estfin bajo la inspeccion del inspector

The subjects starred (*), English, mathematics, history and one year

pupil must
supplement the prescribed studies by choosing one additional subject
in
the first year, one in the second, two in the third, and two in the fourth;
those, therefore, who receive the high-school diploma must pursue each
year, four subjects, requiring, each a daily recitation five times a week of
forty-five minutes and must pass satisfactory examinations at the conclusion of every term. The elective subjects may be chosen upon the advice
cf parents or teachers, or at the pleasure of the pupil.

preference. Applicants who have had no successful experience in the actual work of teaching are not considered eligible, although their academic
training may have been good. In the promotin of teachers two things only
are considered—efficiency and length of service.
The territo ial law recognizes the diplomas of
graduates of reputable

required, before being

The elementary course of study for the public schools of Arizona, extending over a period of eight years, is prescribed by the Territorial
Board of Education. The subjects required are: Reading, writing, spelling,
arithmetic, geography, history, civics and physiology. In addition tothese
subjects, music and freehand drawing, prescribed by the district trustees,
are taught throughout the course.
The text-books for the elementary public schools are also chosen bY
the Territorial Board of Education. The time of the present adoption will
expire July 1, 1911, when a new choice will be made. The list of textbooks thus prescribed by law is uniform throughout the Territory, and must
be used in every public school.

various course of study, however, must be approved by the Territorial
Board before they are finally introduced.

ESCUELAS PUBLICAS DE TUCSON
POR EL PROFESOR S. C. NEWSOM
Superintendente de Escuelas
Tucson tiene cinco escuelas de instruccian elemental y una superior,
las que pueden contener de cuatro a quinientos alumnos cada una. Los
edificios que ocupan son todos de ladrillo, de solida construcci6n, estando
bien dotados de los 'libres y aparatos necesarios para la ensefianza elemental.
La nueva escuela superior, complete actualmente en todos sus detalles,
tiene dos atios de uso. El edificio consta de un basamento y de dos pisos,
constituyendo en realidad tres pisos.
Uno de los departamentos mas digno de atenciOn en la escuela superior
es el elegante salan de actes con que cuenta, el que tiene asientos para
mas de ochocientas personas. Este salan esta iluminado con electricidad y
amueblado con escritorios y butacas de teatro, conteniendo un gran escenario para las distracciones literarias y musicales. Con la ayuda del club
musical "Saturday Morning" se compr6, en el periodo escolar pasado, un
gran piano de concierto "Knabe."
En la escuela superior se ensefian las siguiente materias:
Ado Primero.—Ingles, Algebra, Historia Antigua, Latin, Fisiograffa,
Musica y Arte.
Ato Segundo.—Ingles, Algebra, Historia, media y nioderna, Latin,
Alemán, Espadol y Biologfa.
At° Tercero.—Inglés, Geomatria Lineal, Latin, Aleman, Espafiol, Quimica, Tenedurfa de libros, Taquigraffa y mecanografia.
Ado Cuarto.—Inglês, Geomatrfa y trigonometrfa, Historia de los Estados Unidos é instrucci6n cfvica, Latin, Ffsica, Taquiggraffa y mecanograri
A todos alumnos se les exigea las materias marcadas con asterisco, inglés, matematicas, historia y un ad° de ciencia. Para graduarse un alumno debe coma suplemento de los estudios prescriptos elegir un asunto adiclonai en el primer ado, uno en el segundo, dos en el tercero y dos en el
cuarto.
Para recibir el diploma de la escuela superior se deben estudiar cuatro materias cada ad() exigiendose en cada uno, una recitaci6n diarla, cinco
veers a la seniana, de cuarenta y cinco minutos y es necesario pasar un examen satisfactorio a la conclusiOn de cada curso. Las materias pueden
girre por consejo de los padres 6 profesores 6 al gusto del alumna.
Los causas del primera al sexto inclusive, se ensedan siguiendo el niéted) de las escuelas publicas. Cada maestra tiene asignados de cuarenta d
cincuenta discfpulos y enseria todas las materias prescriptas para el curso.
Los emrsos séptimo y octavo se siguen segun el plan de la instituci6n Hay
clac° profesoras dando cada una instrucciOn en dos materas.
El curso elemental de estudios en las escuelas publicas de Arizona,
que se extiende a un periodo de ocho ados, esta prescripto par el Consejo
Territorial de Educaciéen. Las materias sefialadas son: Lectura, escritura,
ortograffa, aritmética, geograffa, historia, instrucciOn civica y fisiologfa.
En adiciOn a estas materias se enseda durante el curso musica y dibujo
natural, sedalados por los inspectores de distrito.
Los libros de texto para las escuelas publicas elementales son tambien
escogidos por el Consejo Territorial de Educaci6n. El término de los adoptados al presente conclura en julio de 1911 y entonces se adoptaran otros.
La lista de los libros de texto, prescripta por la ley es uniforme para todos
el Territorio y su uso es obligatorio para toda escuela publica.
En la selecciOn de textos para las escnelas superiores del Territorto
existe mas libertad, siendo escogidos por cada una de estas escuelas, pero
los diversos estudios necesitan ser aprobados par el Consejo Territorial an.
tes de ser adoptados en definitiva.
En las escuelas publicas de Tucson hay empleados cincuenta y tres
maestros, cinco principales y tres inspectores. El hecbo de que los comisionados consideran las aptitudes del cuerpo educativo constituye uno de los
principales factores en nuestras escuelas; la siguiente disposici6n, adoptada par unanimidad, puede demostrarlo:
"Un'camente los graduados en colegios 'de incuestionable
reputatciOn y que 1 ayan tenido satisfactoria experiencia en la ensefianza de las materias par ellos escogidas se consideran elegibles
empleos en la escuela superior. En el nornbramiento de profesores de curso tendran la preferencia los graduados en escuelas
normales 6 coleg'os. Los solicitantes que no bayan ten!do experiencia satisfactoria en su trabajo actual de ensefianza no se consideran coma elegibles aunque su aprendizaje académie° baya sido
bueno. En la promociOn de profesores solo dos casas deberan
considerarse: aptitud y antiguedad en el servicio."
La ley territorial reconoce los diplomas de los graduados en colegios
'de reputatcian y en escuelas normales de los Estados excusando a los maestros qu los poseen de ser examinados. A los que no tienen certificado y que
bused n empleo se les exige pasar examen La junta examinadora observa
estrictamente la ley que reglamenta la certificacian de profesores y es par lo

,
Muchos maestros que no han tenido éxito en el Este y en los Estados
del Centro piensan que Arizona y otros Estados 'del Oeste no requieren completa aptitud bastante â detenerlos pero sin duda esta ha sido la causa de
muchos desengafios. El cueurpo de profesores que actualmente dirije las
escuelas de Tucson consta en un noventa par ciento de personas graduadas en escuelas normales y colegios y que han tenido buena experiencia antes de obtener sus presentes empleos. La personalidad y conocimientos
profesionales de los maestros tiene capital importancia. Con buena instrucclan, entusiasmo y verda,dero anion par el trabajo ningun obstaculo puede
oponerse al éxito de la catedra. Hay el pr6p6sito de sostener este elevado
nivel insistiendo en estas cualidades, en la creencia de que no hay afro camina para que continue la eficienc:a y buen estado de las escuelas.
Los sueldos de los profesores graduados son de $71.00 'd $90.00 al
mes; los de los profesores de la escuela superior de $1,000.00 a $1,200.00
por ado no pagandose el maximun en el primer ado de servicio.
El periodo escolar en Tucson es de nueve meses incluyndo las vacaclones del Dia de Gracias, Navidad y Die de Arboles y una semana para el
Instituto de profesores del Condado. A los maestros se les paga su sueldo
asignado, tambien durante los dias de fiesta y los del institut°, pern deben

THE TUCSON CITIZEN .
THE SAN XAVIER MISSION
By BISHOP HENRY GRANJON,
Of the Diocese of Arizona and New Mexico.
A.
.... ...

...op..
S THE WESTBOUND trains of the Southern
Pacific, after cautiously clearing the curves
along the San Pedro valley, reach at last the
high mesa and begin to speed away, on a straight
line, towards Tucson, a snow-white pile looms
up suddenly, far away towards the West range,
to the eyes of the wondering observer.. It is the
old Mission of San Xavier del Bac, magnificent and mysterious
in its solitude. There it has stood for centuries, a unique landmark in Arizona's desert. Before the Mayflower dropped anchor under the lee of Plymouth
Rock, the pioneer—monks of the Catholic church, were saying
mass, tilling
the soil and building the church of San Xavier out here in the
wilderness,
a thousand miles from anywhere or anything, except the
wild aborigines
to whom they sought to give the religion of their church.
That ancient and historic pile, through vicissitudes
innumerable,
through decades of abandonment, through years of massacre, of fire and
blood, stands today an invaluable witness of bygone centuries, a solemn
relic of the misty and unknown past, hoary with age, but youthfully radiant
with unfailing splendor.
From an architectural point of view the study of this structure is a revelation to the expert. It is in America the most remarkable example of the
ideal of the early Franciscan Padres. In point of preservation it stands
unique and incomparable among all the old Missions.
Many descriptions of its style have been elaborated in the last few
years. It has been generally pronounced as belonging to the Moorish order. In order to ascertain this point, the Bishop of Arizona consulted, a
year ago, one of the foremost students of Architectural History, John C.
Comes, of Pennsylvania. The inqquiry elicited the following information:
"This style of architecture is now known in history as the Spanish mission style, which has been derived from the Spanish Renaissance in Spain.
During the period of the Renaissance in history, while this style was devel-
May 5, 1910
Now the Spanish Renaissance was transplanted to the Spanish colonies
in the New World by the early settlers, and there again it was modified and
received an impress due to local conditions. As a result we have the type
of Mission buildings, which retain some of the leading features of the early
style, such as the dome, towers, etc., but which was shorn almost entirely
of all ornament, as the workmen and means were not at hand to secure
it."
San Xavier del Bac, for its rich interior decorations, admirably preserved, is today declared by all experts on the old Spanish Mission style
to
be the most artistic in existence.
New Arizona is justly proud of its old Mission.
It cherishes its old,
time worn, history laden walls. It watched with appreciative interest the
work of restoration, which was commenced in the fall of 1906. About
that
time, following a series of unusually rainy seasons, cracks and
other ominous signs of disintegration began to appear. It seemed as if the venerable
edifice had about spent its life and was rapidly verging to decay and ulti-
mate ruin.
San Xavier was not, however, abandoned to its apparently inelectable
fate. The sacred memories that clung to it, and the further consideration
that this type of buildings is too rare and precious to be allowed to perish,
in a country where there are not too many heirlooms
of this kind, induced
the present incumbent of the Diocese of Tucson
to undertake its restora-
tion. This he did at his own expense, aided by a
few personal friends, and
under his own responsibility. The work, while necessarily slow,
was careful
and thorough. Strict adherence to the style was observed
in every detail.
While the interior remained scrupulously intact, every weak
point of the
'structure received special attention and appropriate treatment. The foundations were reinforced, and buttresses added. The ancient mortuary chaPei was rebuilt on exactly the same original lines, as well
as additions to the
main buildings and grounds of the Mission. The
patio was enlarged and
enclosed with arches. A fence wall of architecutral effect
was raised
around the grounds, and the entire masonry soaked with
a coat of water
proofing.
It is hoped that, as it new stands, San Xavier del Bac
has received a
new lease of life, and will long be preserved for
future generations. Visit-
oped throughout Europe, it received in each country a peculiar individual-
ors from near and far to the Old Pueblo are frequently heard to
say that
her old Mission is one of Tucson's most valuable assets. With each succeed-
ity. In Spain it was largely influenced by the Moors and Saracens. Hence
ing year the asset is growing in value.
some people call it Moorish, although it is entirely different from the Moorish architecture, such as we find in the Alhambra in Spain.

A Word About the Celebration
Cornmittees
When the Tucson Chamber of Commerce determined to have an appropriate celebration on the occasion of the opening of the Tucson & West
Coast of Mexico railroad, President George F. Kitt of that organization selected Hon. John M. Ormsby, cashier of the Arizona National bank, as chair-,
man of the committee on arrangements. Mr. Ormsby at once set about the
tremendous task of preparing for a two days' celebration on this occasion.
He began by naming as chairman of his sub-committees men whom he kkew

THE HORTICULTURAL OUTLOOK IN ARIZONA
By PROFESSOR J. J.
THORNBER,
Botanist, Arizona Experiment Station
There are few industries in southern Arizona that have a more promis
ing future in their development than that of horticulture. This is due larg e
ly to a peculiar and fortunate combination of circumstances in our agricultural makeup, the more important of which are the following: (1) the limited acreage but excellent quality of our alluvial valley soils; (2) the relatively high cost of carrying on a'gricultural operations, and particularly of
developing dependable water supplies for irrigation; (3) our mild winters
making possible the growth of certain hardy crops with occas:onal slight
protection, thus insuring cripping and harvesting at all seasons; (4) the
considerable percentage of persons who have come to Arizona for health
considerations, and who naturally look towards such minor industries as
horticulture, poultry raising, and the like, wtth their lessened responsibilities and smaller amounts of capital required to begin with rather than to
the broader and more extensive field of agriculture, and (5) the continually
growing population of the territory which will be confined, at least in a
large measure, to towns, cities, mining camps and other centers of intensive
industry where often but little cultivation is possible. • •
From the brief but hasty survey given above, it is quite evident that
under our conditions, intensive plant culture must be the rule. As gardeners, orchardists, horticulturists and farmers, we must grow large amounts
of produce on relatiely small areas. This can be done only by means of discovering the best cultural methods for arid conditions, making the most of
water supplies without stinting plant growh, and growing only the best varieties of the crops that are suited o our condiions. The loose and slovenly
culural operations that have characterized farming or ranching in the past
must give way to the modern methods just appearing in the dawn of scientific horticulture and agriculture. Among other things we must build up
the humus in the soil, cultivate more to increase the usefulness of water,
prevent loss of water from ditches by seepage and evaporation, and devise
some practical means for sub-irrigation. Even with the ultirnat, ., building
of a score or more of Laguna and Roosevelt dams, the possibility of e hich
Is doubtful, we shall continue to be short of water and land, when increase
of population and food consumption is taken into consideration. Accordingly, wP must make our million or more acres of c: Itural land do the duty of
five in'llion acres under present conditions. Perhaps nowhere is the principle cf the small farm with its almost unlimited possibilities ut Cer intensive
culture more fully recognized than in the instances of the recent allotments
to bona fide homeseekers of the relatively small parcls of land under
th various irrigation projects in the West and Southwest y the government.

Extensive
Farm to be Replaced Ultimately by Intensive Culture.
With the above in mind, it is not too much to predict that the growing
on the better class of our agriculural lands of cereal crops including corn,
hay crops, excepting alfalfa, and other similar crops affording comparatively
small returns, will tend to lessen relatively as our agricultural development
goes on, and that there will be a corresponding increase in orchard and vineyard lands and general truck kgrowing. This has been the history of practically every up-to-date agricultural locality where land has continually appreciated in value, and there is good reason to believe it will be repeated here.
It is absurd to presume that farmers will continue to grow crops netting
25 to $30 an acre, when with foresight and a little extra work five to ten
times these amounts can be had by growing a more remunerative class of
crops.
May 5, 1910
Of the agricultural crops, alfalfa alone is the only one that can be expected to hold its own and make good increases in acreage from year to year.
Without help or encouragement from any source, it has been in the past,
and will continue in the future, at least for many years to come, to be
the chief crop grown on the better class of our lands. Because of the ease
and limited knowledge required in handling it, and of its moderate and almost certain financ'al returns, it is the most important crop for the larger
farm, and also for the great body of farmers, who, generally speaking, are
not specialists in plant culture. As often, however, as it is found practicable to grow the more productive crops, through the exercise of greater skill
or other means, alfalfa, also, in turn, will give way to them.
Our Present Status of Horticulture, With Suggestions for the Future.
Today, in Arizona, all nuts, olive and canned goods, and nearly all the
fresh fruit, besides a considerable amount of green vegetables come in to
us from California and other states. We grow few peaches, pears, plums,
apples, apricots, nectarines, quinces, grapes, olives, dates or figs, and only a
small but respectable showing of oranges, as compared with the total supply
that we consume. With certain exceptions such common fruits as strawberries, blackberries and dewberries are grown in our agricultural sections
only in sufficient quantities for the immediate local needs. Of course, the
excess of these, whatever that may be, is shipped out to the near-by mining
camps, but there the matter ends. Worse than all this, most of the above
fruits are shipped in, in greater or lesser quantities, to our agricultural sections.
Except for a short season each year, nearly all our potatoes, tomatoes,
cabbage, cauliflower, and sundry vegetables are carried in from other states.
And, were it not for the ever-present Chinese gardener, with his limited but
well cultured, enriched and watered acre, we should be still more dependent
on the outside. We are ever content to have our asparagus grown away from
home, taking it canned if we cannot get it fresh, when as a matter of fact, It
succeeds so well under our conditions as to threaten to spread and become a
weed. While our farmers are growing more navy and pink beans from year
to year, which crops are remarkably successful under our conditions of climate, we are as a community heavier purchasers of these than ever before.
It is to be said to our credit that we grow nearly enough chile or peppers,
onions and sweet potatoes for home consumption, while of watermelons and
muskmelons or canteloupes we export considerablc quantities. There appears to be no reason, however, why we could not export along with these
quantities of such vegetables as asparagus, onions, tomatoes, cauliflower,
cabbage, Brussels sprouts, squashes, and the delicious casaba or winter
muskmelon which has proved so successful in outhern California.
Very few of our farmers have attempted to grow more than a limited
amount of most of the fruits mentioned heretofore, and many have never
tried any. But, thanks to the pioneer, and to him who has faith enough in
his country to believe and to experiment, for it due to such men as these
that occasional small lots of the various fruits may be seen growing to perfection in practically every agricultural locality in the territory. In one instance it is pears and peaches, in another figs and grapes, while in still another one may find a thriving orchard set to apples, plums, peaches and apricots. Practically everywhere in the territory strawberries and grapes are
known to grow well and yield heavily, the former often fruiting throughout
the entire summer. Most of the other fruits do as well, though, naturally,
each succeeds best under the particular conditions favoring its growth and
development. The upper Gila and Verde valleys with their tributaries, es
pecially, have demonstrated beyond measure the growing in commercial way
of such fruits as apples, peaches, and plums, even with their present unorganized condition, and limited knowledge of the subject. While to the
Salt River valley it has fallen the proud lot to produce and ship out oranges
by the carload, which command a better price by virtue of their earliness
and quality than the similar California product. In the warmer valleys, examples of which are the Salt River, Colorado and Santa Cruz, figs, olives
and dates offer tempting and alluring horticultural possibilities, since all
these do well under our condition.
In the way cot vegetable truck farming, potatoes, in particular, should
come to be a staple early crop in southern Arizona, where with anything
like present prices they can be grown at handsome profits, and the land afterwards planted to a summer crop. Recent experiments at the Arizona
Experiment Station show that if the early varieties of potatoes are planted
early and handled properly so that growth is completed by the time our hot,
dry foresummer sets in, very successful results can be obtained. This being
the case, there is no longer any good reason for us to import in carload lots
so staple and necessary an article as the potato. On the contrary, they
should be grown in such quantities as to be shipped out. Another example
is that of asparagus. Of all the vegetables that are grown, asparagus appears to be among those best adapted to our conditions, showing remarkable
resistance to beet, droughth and alkali. It delights in deep rich soils, in fact
the richer the better, though it grows well in gardens on mesa land. One
of the best investments that the small farmer can make is to set out n
acre or more for the early market. . Since it stands shipping well, it may
be transported to considerable distances. Once such as a field is established
it requires little further attention, and remains in good condition for many
years to come. The possibilities of growing onions, tomatoes, chile, sweet
potatoes, squashes, and similar vegetables in commercial quantities are
equally as good, the success of which has been demonstrated time and again.

ZotiventrTHE TUCSON CITIZEN THE SPIRIT OF THE BORDERLAND
By HON. MAJOR HENRY T. ALLEN
Eighth Cavalry, United States Army.
It has been aptly said that the history of the United States is a study
of a people always in flux. The emigration of early days was from Massachusetts to the other New England colonies, thence to New York; from Virginia to the Carolinas and farther south. Puritan and Cavalier Protestant
and Catholic seemed possessed of the spirit of wanderlust and land hunger
which were only intensified by difficulties of climate and terrain and the
dangers of Indian foes. Once the littoral was partially colonized, the new
communities sent out advance guards largely following lines of parallel,
always westward, to establish other colonies.
The Nomadic spirit has continued strong in the blood of Americans;
yet there was a time in our development when the acquisition of territory
west of the Mississippi was regarded by some as wholly chimerical and unnecessary.
The Louisiana Purchase, the annexation of Texas, the Gadsden purchase, and later the acquisition of Alaska caused a strong protest by the
conservatives; in fact what is known as the southwest—now highly valued
for its agriculture, stock, and mining importance—was in general classified
as the worthless desert country. The acquisition of the Philippines is too
recent to speak of in this connection.
This is no place to trace the growth and development of the American
people, but I cannot refrain from citing in substantiation of the claim of a
national trait—nomadism or intense migratory tendency—the fact that the
Dowell, Mojave, San Carlos, Thomas, Verde and Wallen. Each of these has
played its part; each has been the scene of endurance and courage; and each
has merited well of this vast region which was but yesterday beyond the
pale of civilization in the twilight of barbarism.
Of the old posts only three remain: Whipple, Apache and Huachuca,
two of which will probably at a relatively early date follow the others.
, The two great barriers that challenged the development of this region
—the desert and the Ind:an—have been boldly met and just as the soldier
and pioneer settler conquered the Indian, so the indomitable commercial
spirit of the railway and reclamation mind is overcoming the desert. Measured by the rate of progress since the early eighties. the future of this region will be written in golden letters.
The energy of the United States, cordially supported by that of our sister Republic, is fast developing the resources of this vast country and however great be the importance of the event celebrated this Cinco tie Mayo on
this side of the border, it must be considered only the precursor of others
still more grandiose.
In connection with all this progressive work, including the construction of the Tucson West Coast railway, there is evidence of the wonderful
foresight of that eminent soldier, statesman, and executive of the great
southern Republic—of that hero whose achievements have increased the
prestige of Mexico and added lustre to its name throughout the world.
From the Gulf to El Paso following the Rio Grande a distance of 800
miles and from El Paso to the Pacific 700 miles, the federal forces of Mexico and of the United States have mutually aided in the maintenance of order along a borderland naturally favorable to turbulent elements and disorder.
This governmental reciprocity at the frontier taken with the int.?,rfor
friendly commercial relations augurs well for the aggrandizement in the
future of both states. The existence or establishment of army posts in the
THE OLD MISSION AT TUMACACO RI ON THE LINE OF THE NEW II AILROAD
people, specially of the west and souhwest, have been continually on the
move, ever pushing farther west in search of new land. What was true in
this respect three centuries ago is true today; one small eastern Central
State (Kentucky) has at the present time 600,000 of its native born living
west of its confines, outside of its borders.
The residents of Arizona represent the acme of the spirit referred to,
They are the worthy representatives of the spirit that moved the long columns from the Missouri along the Santa Fe trail, thence to Albuquerque,
and on beyond the 109th meridian; and likewise of those following the more
southerly trails of Kentucky, Carson and Cooks.
We are today living in a region, Primeria Alta, whose European settlement was contemporaneous with that of Virginia and Massachusetts and
was due to the Jesuits and Franciscans. Its political domination was Spanish until 1821 and Mexican until the treaty of 1853 as the Guadalupe Hidalgo treaty in 1848 did not cover Gadsonia. By these treaties we become possessed of enormous territories of unkonwn resources thinly populated with
Inhabitants which included the Ishmaelites of all Indians—the Apaches.
In no part of the country and certainly no where so recently as here has
the Indian played a role more retarding to progressive civilizatiion by arresting the advance of white man. A cursory narrative of the opportunities
against them and of the numerous atrocities committed by them would be
far too voluminous for an article of this character.
The names of Juh, Geronimo, Nachez, Victorio, Nane, Loco and their
forbears bring to mind the operations and campaigns of, Carleton, Mason,
Wallen, Craig, Crittenden, Crook (and Crawford), Krantz, Wilcox, Miles
(and Lawton.) The ruins of numerous abandoned forts and camps in Arizona proclaim in loud tones its recent military history, wherein the sturdy
pioneer figures equally conspicuous and honorably with the American scrfdier.
The following are among those that have been abandoned by reason of
being no longer required for military purposes: Bowie, Buchanan, Crittenden, Date Creek (McPherson), Goodwin, Grant (Breckinridge), Lowell, Mc.
.
coming years, whether north or south of te border, will doubtlessly be fixed
by commercial reasons; and just as we plant modern posts near centers of
population in other parts of the country so must we do here.
Considering the part the army has played in Arizona it is high 1 3 proper
that it should be represented on this occasion and it Is specially opportune
that part of a regiment (Eighth cavalry) so much of whose service has been
along the Mexican botindry, should be selected.
In spite of the many years of campaign and warfare through which the
colonies and subsequent states have passed, most of our regular regimerts
are comparatively young. The Eighth cavalry was organized in California
in 1869 and sent to Arizona and New Mexico for station at Fort Bayard,
San Carlos the same year.
Here it remained sixteen years participating in various expeditions of
Ord, Stoneman and Crook. At this time, 1870, the delegate from Arizona
(McCormick) presented in Congress a list of Americans, including women
and children, numbering 144, recently murdered by Apaches. This he claimed was not half the total number.
It was also during this period, 1871, that the citizens of Tucson assisted by friendly Papagoes are reported to have meted out drastic summary
punishment to a band of Apaches living on the Aravaipa near Camp Grant
In 1875, the regiment was transferred to Texas with stations at Houston, Clark, Bliss, Concho and McDavitt and there it served thirteen years.
Following modern practice it has like other regiments alternat e dl foreign with home stations, having served both in Cuba and the Philippines.
In the assets of this region are included not only the surface of the
earth and the minerals under the ground, but also the more potent resources
of the spirit of a remarkable people who by their great developments are
making the rest of the world take notice.
The tersely expressed sentiment of Guadalupe Victoria has been the
keynote of the policies of all patriots of both Republics: "La libertail
ofianzara. con mi sangre, la independencia seperdera con mi vida."

LA FORMA DE GOBIERNO DE
COMISIONADOS PARA TUCSON
Par P. N. JACOBUS,
Alcalde de Tucson.
Tucson, gobernado actualmente por un Alcalde y un Consejo compuesto de sels miembres quienes son electos para un periodo de dos afios. Se ha
manifestado considerable interés en la forma de gobierno de comisionados,
que muchas ciudades, especialmente del Oeste central, estdn adpptando. La
idea, con respecta d esta ciudad se recomienda por, si misma segun mi opin16n, parque me parece que Tucson esta entrando en el mas importante perido de desarrollo en su historia y Par lo tanto nccesitarnos ahora m6s que
nunca una administracian prdctica de los asuutos municipales.
Recientemen te, d instancia del Consejo Municipal, nombre una comisi6n
compuesta de tres ciudadanos, un miembro del Consejo, un abogado y un
banquer° para investigar y rendir un informe sobre la forma de gobierno
de comisionados, con relacidn â Tucson. La comisi6n esta trabajando en
reunir datos para fundar su informe y cuando este sea sometido formara, una
Importante base para la discusian de su con veniencia para esta poblaci6n.
Personalmente yo me inclina en favor de esta idea. Mientras mas he
estudiado su funcionamiento en otras ciudades mas he creidoque esto se
hace en la forma de negocio y par consiguiente es una eficiente administraclan del gobierno municipal. Aunque existe un sentimiento crectente en
favor de la idea de los comisionados, esto no quiere decir que la hace mas
claro al ciudadano observativo ques nuestro actual sistema, fncluyendo la
selecci6n de funcionarios, es contraria â los intereses y no serin tolerada
por un solo dia en ninguna corporaci6n privada que tuviera negocios de tal
magnitud.
Al presente los candidatos para Alcalde, Consejales, etc., son elegidos
con frecuencia par razones polfticas unicamente y no parque el candidato
sea especialmente apto par su educaci6n 6 experiencia para desempefiar tab
puesto.
En esta joven sociedad, en desarrollo, la majorfa de nuestros hombres
de negocios stan activamente entregados a sus ocupaciones, confiados â su
esfuerzo individual para obtener exit° y opinon que no es posible desatender
sus propios negocios para aceptar funciones publicas sin una equitativa recompensa. En las poblaciones del Este, mas antiguas, generalmente se encuentran hombres retirados de negocios 6 con medios de vida independiente,
que pneden ser llamados a ocupar puestos municipales, para en Tucson hay
pocos ciudadanos de esta nase y esta situaci6n probablemente continuara
par algunos atlas.
La forma de gobierno de comisionados se ve que es simplemente un
asunto de negocio: un hombre competente se pone al cargo de cada departamento pag6ndosele un salaria adecuado y se le hace responsable de la direcci6n de su departamento. Si demuestra ineptitud es suspendido par los votantes y se elige otro candidato.

En la forma de gobierno adoptado en Des Moines y algunas otras ciudades se han creado cinco departamentos y un superintendente 6 consejal se
ha puesto al cargo de cada uno, actuando uno de ells coma Alcalda. A
cada consejal se le paga un buen sueldo debiendo dedicar todo su tiempo
su oficinaa.
Todo ciudadano 6 cualquiera numero de ellos pueden ser candidatos
para el puesto de Alcalde O Consejal, presentando su solicitud firmada par
veinticinco votantes ante el Secretaria de la ciudad.
El boleta oficial para las elecciones primarias contiene los nombres de
todos los candidatos puestos en orden alfaabético y los dos que reciban mayor humera de votas serdn los candidatos para eleccidn definitiva. Dos par
cada uno de los consejales que deban ser electos y que reciban mayor numero de votas serdn los un!cos candidatos para la elecci6n regular.
Al final serdn declarados electos los que recibaan mayor numero de
votas correspondientes â los empleos elegibles. Esto pone la elecci6u de
funcionarios enteramente al vota del puebyo. Si los electores tienen el
cuidado necesario y y usen de comun inteligencia para votar en favor de los
candidatos que, segun su opini6n, son los mas adecuados para los diversos
empleos, es probable que resultara electo un cuerpo de personas de representaci6n quienes, dedicando su tiempo y atenci6n al manejo de los asuntos
de la ciudad, libres de influencia politica, dardn los mejores resultados.
La iniciativa ad referendum puede tambien incluirse en esta forma de
gobierno si se desea y esta da facultades a los electores de tener cierto prodominio en los actos del cuerpo gubernativo.
Debe entenderse sin embargo que ningun sistema de gobierno funciona
automaticamente y para obtener los mejores resultados deben los ciuudadanos interesarse en los asuntos publicos; no solamente para criticar
los errores que se hagan sino tambien para expresar su aprobaci6n cuando los asuntos vayan por buen camino y se alcancen resultados satisfactorios.
Si dentro de algun tiempo acontece en este pais coma en los
antiguos,
que sea considerado un honor servir à, la ciudad coma
Alcalde 6 Consejal
v los electores exijan que tales puestos sean ocupados
par las personas mas
competentes en la comunidad, entonces desaparecerdn cas i todas nuestras

From the foregoing, it is clear that there is plenty of rootu in Arizona
for the small planter and grower, and that practically everything in n agricultural way points to his ultimate success and predominance. With his
five, ten, or twenty acre farm, he can establish himself and his family independently, and with industries and skillful application become a factor in
the building up of our agricultural resources. The continued growth of population and the opening up of new markets by further raillroad development
will increase the demand many times for horticultural products, and thus
establish this industry which is destined to become an important one with
us. To this end, the progressive horticulturist will plan his work well in
advance, eliminate all unnecessary expense, conserve to the uttermost his
water supply, grow only the best and earliest varieties of plants, take careful note of his successes and failures and finally, prepare his goods for the
market so that they will be attractive. In short, he will understand and
master the minuest details of this business. When horticulture in Arizona
approaches this state, it will be as remunerative here as elsewhere, and fruit
growing will be regarded with favor rather than with doubt as now. We shall
than we ship out a condition which should not obtain long and our futhan we ship out, a condition which should not obtain long, and our future
ture State will then be known for its agriculture and horticulture as well as
for its mines and stock ranches.

Al presente todas las nueces, aceitunas, conservas y casi todas las frutas frecsas adf corne una gran cantidad de legumbres bienen a. Arizona de
California y otros Estados. Nosotros cultivamos poco los duraznos, los perales, los ciruelos, los manzanos, los albaricoqueros, los melocotones, los
mebrillos, las vinas, los olives, las palmas de ddtil y las higueras y solo cosecbamos naranjas en cOrta cantidad con relaci6n al consume. Con ciertas
excepciones, frutas come las fresas, zarzamoras y frimbuesas crecen en nuestrac tierras unicamente para las necesidades locales y si bay algun exceso es
remitido al prOximo campo minero terminando allf todo. Lo que es peer
casi todas las citadas frutas son mandadas en cantidades mds 6 menos gran
des d. nuestras regiones agrfcolas.
Excepta en una corta estaci6n del ado casi todas nuestras patatas, tomates, coles, coliflores y diversas legumbres nos son traidas de otros estados
y si no fuera per nuestros actuales hortelanos chinos, con sus limitados pere
bien cultivados, abonados é irrigados terrenos, todavfa dependeriamos rads
de afuera. Estamos contentes con tomar esparragos empacados en otros lugares cuando no podemos obtenerlos frescos, siendo un hecho que se da tan
bien aca que amenaza propagarse hasta convertirse en una hierba perjudicial. A medida que nuestros agricultures siembran mas frijol blanco y rosa,
que crece muy bien en nuestro clima, nosotros compramos en mayor cantidad que antes. Para nuestro crédite hay que decir que cultivamos casi todo
el chile verde 6 colorado, cebollas y camotes que se consumen y de sandias,
melones y cantaloupes exportamos buenas cantidades. No hay razon por la
que no pudieramos exportar tambien vegetales corno espdrragos, cebollas,
tomates, coliflor, coles comunes y de Bruselas, calabazas y el delicioso casaba
6 melen de invierno que tan buen éxito ha tenido en el Sur de California.
Muy pocos de nuestros agricultores han probado cultivar mas de una
canttdad limitada de las frutas citadas y muchos nunca han sembrado en ninguna proporci6n, pues gracias â los antiguos pobladores y a. agnelles que
tienen bastante fue en su pais para creer y experimehtar se ven al.gunos pequefios lotes donde se da una variedad de frutas, en cualquiera parte cultivable del territorio. En unes partes hay peras y duraznos, en otras biges

Consideraciones Sobre la Horticultura
en Arizona
Hay pocas industrias en el Sur de Arizona que tengan un porvenir mas
halagueflo que la horticulture. Esto se debe un feliz conjunto de circunstancias en nuestra agricultura de las cuales las principales son: (1) La 11
mitada extension pero excelente calidad de nuestras tierras de aluvidœ; (2)
el alto costo del cultive especialmente en adquirir abasticimiento de agua
para la irrigaci6n; (3) nuestros benignos invleron que hacen posible el crecimiento de ciertos plantas resistentes, con una ligera proteccian, asegurande
el corte y cosecha en todas las estaciones; (4) el considerable numero de
personas que han venido a Arizona por razones de salud y que buscan naturalmente las pequefias industrias como la horticultura, la cria de aves de corral y otras semejantes que requieren menos trabajo y capital para su comienzo que el extenso campo de la agricultura y (5) el continuo aumento de la
poblacien del territorio que en gran proporcifin estera confinada los pueblos, ciudades, campos mineros y otros centres de extenso, indutria donde
hay casi siempre pocas tierras de cultive.
Por las breves pero concises razones anteriores se deduce que en nuestras condiciones la horticultura deberia extenderse. Como jardineros, aboricultores, hortelanos y agricultores podemos obtener gandes productos en
reducidas extenciones. Para esto es necesario descubrir los métodos mas
adecuados para lugares dridos, formando abastecimientos 'de agua sin molestar el crecimiento de las plantas y escoger las mejores variadades apropiadas a nuestras condiciones. Las deficientes y descuidades operaciones de
cultive que han caracterizado el beneficio de los terrenos en el pasado deben
ceder el paso à la moderna agricultura y horticultura cientffica. Entre otras cosas debemos formar el humus en la tierra, cultivar mas para aumentar
la utilidad del agua, prevenir su pérdida en las zanjas per filtraci6n 6 evaporacian é idear medios practicos para la sub irrigaci6n. Aunqué se construyeran veinte 6 mas presas come la de Laguna y Roosevelt de cuya posibilidad se debe dudar, continuaremos con las escacez de tierras y agua cuando se tome en cuenta el crecimiento de la poblacian y el consumo de vfveres.
De acuerdo con esto necesitamos hacer nuestro mil% 6 mas de acres de tierras de cultive producir corne si fueran cinco millones, en las presentes condiciones. Talvez el principio de la agricultura en pequefio con sus oportunidades extensas de intenso cultive en ninguna parte es mejor reconocido
que en los cases de repartimiento de lotes de tierra de corta extensien a los
que buscan hogar, en los diverses proyectos de irrigacian del goblerno, en la
regian Oeste y Suroeste. •

La Agriculture Extensa Sera Substituida por el CnItivo Intenso.
Pensando en lo anterior puede decirse que el crecimiento en nuestras
tierras de cultive de cereales incluyendo el mais y de pasturas, excepte la alfalfa, que dan comparativamente poca utilidad, tenderd a disminuir con .elaciOn al desarrillo de nuestra agricultura, habiendo un erecimiento correspondiente en huertas, vifiedos y hortalizas. Esta ha sido la historia en casi
todas las regiones agrfcolas modernizadas donde la tierra se aprecia en lo
que vale y hay raz6n para crer que aquf sucedera otro tanto. Es absurdo
presumir que los sembradores seguirdn levantando cosechas que tengan un
valor neto de $25.00 d $30.00 per acre cuando con previsiOn y un r,oco mas
de trabajo pueden tener rendimientos de cinco é. diez vece3 mayores, eultivalide siembras remunerativas. De las siembrds la alfalfa es la unica que
quede esperarse guarde su lugar y aumenten de aflo ea aile. Sin ayuda ni
fomente de ninguna especie ha side y continuard en lo futuro siendo, cuando
nrenos por algunos afios, la principal cosecha de nuestros mejores campos.
Debido d que solo se requiere un limitado conocimiento para su cultive y sus
rendimientos son siempre buenos, es la mas importante siembra para on erreno grande y para la mayoria de los labradores que generalmente hablando no son especialistas en agricultura. Sin embargo corn, se ha encontrado
factible la preparacian de otros cultives con mas cuidado y medies mas propies, la alfalfa A su turne cederd el lugar a elles.

de hombres y mujeres aptes y dedicados con diplomas de las instituciones
mas caracterizadas del pals, como las de Columbia, Michigan, Harvard,
California, Chicago, Wellesley, Instituto Tecnol6gico de Massachusetts Y
Stanford. El ouiller° de personas que componen la facultad es de cuarenta y dos. Por costumbre de la Universidad el numero de alumnos en una
clase se conserva en menos de veinte y cuando el registro para un curso
pasa de este numero se organisa una segunda clase de manera que en
adicion d la experiencia y capacidad de la facultad los estudiantes gozan
de la ventaja de la istrucci6n en clases pequefias que los permiten recibir
la personal atenci6n del instructor.
A los jovenes que ban tenido una edueaci6n anterior defectuosa asf como d agnelles que tarde han comenzado
ha adquirir la enseilanza técnica se les imparte cuidadosa, babil y simpdtica ayda para superar todos los obstaculos de la rnanera mas rapida y a:canzar el fin deseado.
La energia de la Universidad continuara para colocarla coma en pl
pasado en el mas alto nivel en la escuela de mineria y otros ramos de ingcnieria. Su mayor serv'cio al Suroeste incluyendo Sonora y el Noroeste
de México asf como Arizona, durante la generaci6n venidera, sera la preparacian de jovenes de aptitudes, energi y resolucl6n para la magna labor
de desarrollar elementos y formar una civilizaci6n. Ningun curso limitado
de instrucci6n sera suficiente. y la Universidad se propone hacer hombres
pe y siete proximos â Yuma los cuales usa la EstaciOn Experimental de
kgricultura para sus investigaciones.
En un periodo de dos ados y medio se habrdn gastado $12,000 para
la dotacian de esta tierra en construcciones, aparatos para la ensefianza de
la agricultura, ordeila, agricultura alimentaci6n y ucidado del ganado Y
rnaterias semejantes la cual instrucci6n se ha dado en los dos ultimes
ailes en condicionees menos favorables.
Para la comodidad de los alumnos que viven en los tres dormitories
de la Universidad—dos para hombres al cargo de instructores y une para
señoritas bajo la direccion de una profesora—se tiene un comedor donde
el valor de la asistencia es de $18.00 per mes. Existait comodidades bastantes para ejercicios de cultura ffsica y atléticos en el ginmasio y varies

TUCSON CITIZEN
THE TUCSON WOMANS' CLUB
CCRA
O:RD T
By MRS. R. H. FOREES, President
The original object of the club which was to be "The development of
its members, intellectually and socially," is still held gratefully in view.
During its first years the membership being small but one subject was
taken up, either history or literature having been chosen, then both were
taken, and as the membership increased other subjects were added until
now in the tenth year of its existence with a membership of one hundred
women we have sections in art, civics, household economics, history and
contemporary drama. Each of these departments elects a chairman, who
presides over its meetings, which are held independently of the other departments. At present the art section is directed by Mrs. S. C. Newsom
and during the ensuing year a study will be made of some of the Dutch,
Flemish and Spanish painters. The civic section, under Mrs. A. M. Franklin, will direct its efforts toward the civic improvement of our city and
the work of humanity in the Juvenile court. The household economics
section under Mrs. E. M. Dickerman will pursue the interesting subject of
making the routine work of the home a task of intellectual and economic
interest.
The historic section, under Mrs. F. N. Guild, is planning a careful
study of Arizona history. The contemporary drama section, under Mrs.
E. S. ates, will take up the study of the drama, the dramas of Ibsen, followed by Pinero, Shaw, Wilde, McKaye, and other dramatists of the present day. Once a month a general meeting of the club is held when the
business of the club is transacted and the work of each department for
the ensuing month is reported by Its chairman, after which an interesting
program is given.
The work and the influence of a woman's club has come to be a recognized factor in the life of nearly every city of any size in the United
States, and it would seem especially beneficial and helpful in our growing
cities of the West, where the opportunities for women's work, especially
in a civic way, are very great.
As very little has been said of the real aims, purposes and results of
women's club work here in Arizona a few remarks explaining more
fully their ambitions and desires may not be amiss. The keynote of a
true woman's club may be summed up in one word, "Betterment." Betterment of our homes, betterment of our children, betterment of our
cities, our schools, our libraries, our unfortunates, and lastly betterment
of ourselves. The learning to live and to let lire, to be broad in our sympathies and in our understanding, is not the least of our aims. The Juvenile court law owes its existence to women's clubs, the laws for the protection of children forced to labor is another achievement, and had we
accomplished nothing more than these two things, we would have justified our existence.

THE TUCSON CITIZEN
THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA
AND ITS SCHOOL OF MINES
By DR. KENDRIC CHARLES BABCOCK
President
of
the University
RIZONA'S public school system, from the kinderNI IN
garten to its University in the city of Tucson, is
IN
one of the best organized and most carefully coI
ordinated
in the whole West, and in thsee respects
II
II
equal to the best of the older and greater commonwealths. At the head of this system stands the
University of Arizona which first opened its doors
to students in the autumn of 1891, the creature
of the territory and up to the present time support
ed almost entirely by the generous appropriations
made to it by the territorial legislature and by
Acts of Congress. Its revenue from these sources
for the current academic year, for maintenance
and improvements, will exceed $120,000, and for
the following year, $127,000.
From the simple beginnings o f1891—nine college students and twenty-two preparatory students, working in a single building, far outside
the city, amidst the brush of the mesa—it has advanced rapidly to its present active size, housing
and equipment. The college students will this year number about one hundred and fifteen and the preparatory students nearly another hundred; the
campus of forty acres is practically a large city park with bordered-tee
drives, and walks, beautiful gardens, wide lawns; an electric car line ends
at the main gate, ten minutes ride from the center of the city; its handsome
library and museum building and the fine new science hall, completed last
year at a cost of $40,000—two of the fourteen substantial structures on
the campus—are among the most imposing and serviceable public buildings
in Arizona. These buildings, together with the machine shops, metallurgical laboratories, testing laboratories and the gymnasium, are fully equipped
for effective instruction by the most modern and approved methods.
But bricks and mortar and boards and machines and chemicals are
/ only large tools for the service of the teaching body, the faculty, in its work
of helping boys and girls to make men and women of themselves. This faculty, both on the teaching side and on he side of investigation with the
staff of Agricultural Experiment Station, is composed of able and devoted
men and women with degrees from the strongest institutions of the country—Columbia, Michigan, Harvard, California, Chicago, Wellesley, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Stanford. The total number of persons under appointment is forty-two. By the custom of the University the
number of students in a class is kept below twenty, and when the numb?r
registered for a course passes this number a section is usually organized,
so that, in addition to the special training and experience of the faculty,
the students gain the full advantage of instruction in classes small enough
to enable each to receive personal attention from the instructor. Thus
young men whose early training has been defective, and those wao have
waked up late to the necessity for a thorough technical training, are jven
close, skillful, and sympathetic assistance in ovrecoming these serious
handicaps in the quickest way, and in reaching the desired ends.
The strongest emphasis of the University will continue to be placed,
• •• •

and several others who left before the completion of their courses,—all
the University men who were available when the party was made up.
The location of the University so near to great mines and to properties developing rapidly, both in Arizona and in the neighboring provinces
of Mexico, is not the least attractive feature of its advantages. Besides its
service to the citizens of Arizona, it expects to draw more and more of the
young men from the Mexican provinces who wish sound education tor
mining, civil and metallurgical engineering in an institution near their
homes, and who have a fair understanding of spoken and written English.
In its preparatory department it gives the necessary preliminary courses
in algebra, geometry, chemistry, physics, etc., for the advanced and technical subjects in college.
-
The future of agriculture in Arizona profoundly concerns the University, and it has already entered upon extensive preparations to meet
the requirements of those young men and young women who desire to prepare themselves for scientific and practical agriculture under the peculiar
conditions which exist in the southwest. With a probable future agricultural population of a quarter or a half million, when the great valleys
have been provided with water as a result of reclamation projects, the instruction in agriculture may some day become the major business of the
University. Looking toward this end, a tract of eighty acres of rich bottom land in the Riflito valley has been purchased for instructional uses
by the department of agriculture, quite distant from the other tracts of
sixty acres near Phoenix, ten acres near Tempe, and seven acres near
Yuma, which are used by the Agricultural Experiment Station for its researches. Within two and a half years more than $12,000 will have been
expended for the equipment of this tract with buildings and apparatus for
teaching farm management, dairying, gardening, feeding and judging of
stock, and similar subjects, in which instruction has been given for the
past two years under less faorable conditions.
For the accommodations of students residing in the three dormitories on the campus—two for men, in charge of instructors, and one for
MINES AT SILVERBELL, ARIZONA ,
as it has been in the past, upon the courses in the School of Mines and in
the other engineering departments. The greatest service to the
Southwest, including Sonora and northwestern Mexico as well as Arizona, during the next generation, will be the preparation of young men of ability,
energy, and purposefulness for the magnificent task of developing resources and building a civilization. No narrow course of training will
suffice, and the University sets itself to make men of honor and leadership as well as shrewd and resourceful engineers. The
demand for its
raduates who are grounded in mathematics, chemistry, geology, mineralgy and hydraulics, as well as technically trained for
mining engineering,
ine management, assaying, surveying, metallurgy and mill work, is far
greater than the University is able to supply. One party, for example,
tich has been operating for a powerful corporation is exploitations in
onora for some months, is made up of three graduates of the University
women, under the direction of a preceptress—the University maintains a
dining hall, in which the charge for board is $18 per month. Provision
is made for physical culture and for athletics in the gymnasium and variions outdoor courts for tennis and basketball, football and baseball fields,
and a running track. Military drill three times a week is required of all
able-bodied students in the freshman and sophomore years and throughout the four years of the preparatory department. The institution, however, is not a military school and students are not under military discipline,
save during the periods set apart for military science and tactics.
The University belongs to the people of Arizona; its officers and
teachers are eager to serve the commonwealth, especially the young men
and women, in every possible way; it aims to train them in knowledge
of the h_lef pea
'n ability to labor effectively. PIA in a wise
ard sane devotion to civic duty.

CLUB DE SENORAS DE TUCSON
Por Sra. R. H. FORBES Presideuta
El Club de Sefioras, de Tucson fué organizado en 1900 siendo su
Presidenta la sellera Blake, esposa del Dr. William P. Blake, de la Universidad de Arizona. La sellera Blake dej6 la presidencia en 1902 babiéade
sucedido en tal cargo; la sefiora J. A. Black de 1902 d 1904; sefiora A. V.
Grossetta de 1904 d 1905; senora A. E. Bogan de1905 à, 1906; sedera F. N.
Guild de 1906 d 1908 y sefiora Forbes de 1908 d 1910.
El objeto primitive del club que tué "el mejoramiento inteleci uq_l y F o cial de sus rniernbros" se observa todavla cuidadosamente. Durant?, los Pdmeros ados siendo la sociedad muy reducida, solo se cultivé una ntateria
eligiendose la historia 'ô la literatura, despues las dos se estmliaron y colon
la asociaci6n creciera se afiadieron otras Materias, al grndo de qu e en la
actualidad, estando en el décime afio de su existencia, y contando con ci'm
socias, tenemos secciones de Arte, instrucci6n cfvica, economfa demestica,
historia y drama contempordneo.
Cada uno de estos departamentos elige una presidenta la qu dirige
las juntas que se verifican separadamente en cada une. Al presente la secci6n Arte estd dirigida por la Bra. S. C. Newsom y durante el atio pré:0mo se hardn estudios de los pintores holandeses, flamencos y espailoles. La
secci6n cfvica bajo la direccien de la Sra. A. M. Franklin Se esforzard ell
sus trabajos per el progreso de esta ciudad y los de humanidad por la instituci6n de una Corte Juvenil. La secci6n de economfa doméstica bajo la Sra
E. M. Dickerman proseguird en su interesante asunto de hacer de los trabajos dornésticos una tarea de interés intelectual y econ6mico.
La seccifin de historia, al cargo de la Sra. F'. N. Guild esta organizando
un cuidadoso estudio de la historia de Arizona y la secci6n de drama ;xntempordneo dirigida por la Sra. E. S. Bates se dedicard al estudio de los
dramas de Ibsen y en seguida de Pinero, Shaw, Wilde, MacKaye y otros
dramaturges de actualidad.
Una vez al mes se verifica uns, junta general del club, •donde se tratan
SUS asuntos, informdndose del trabajo de cada departamento en el m'es Ultimo, despues de lo cual se forma un interesante programa.
El trabajo y la influencia de los clubs de sefioras se ha reconocido corne
un factor en la vida de casi todas las ciuda'des de cualquiera tarnafto en los
Estados Unidos y se consideran especialmente utiles en nuestras ciudades
en desarroIlo del Oeste, donde hay muchas circunstancias favorables en sentido cfvico principalmente para el trabajo de las sofioras.
Como muy poco se ha dicho acerca de las verdaderas aspiraciones,
fines y resultados de los clubs de sefioras en Arizona, algunas abservaciones
pueden explicar plenamente sus ambiciones y puntualizar sus deseo. La
norma de un efectivo club de sefioras puede resumirse en una palab:a
"mejoramiento". El mejoramiento de nuestros hogares, de nuestros niftos,
de nwestras ciudades, de nuestras escuelas y bibliotecas, de nuestros infortunios y de nosotras mismas. El aprendiaje d vivir y dejar vivir; ser amplias en nuestras simpatias y en nuestro espfritu es una de nuestras aspiraclones. La corte Juvenil •ebe su existencia d los clubs de mujeres; las
leyes para la protecci6n de los nifios obligados al trabajo es otro de sus éxitos y si no hubiera logrado nids que este tendrfa justificada su existencia.
For muchas circunstancias el trabajo de los clubs no aparece en sus
libres annales. Nuestros libres annales son come nuestros amplios cam!nos publicos, pero los senderos laterales 6 de cruamiento son unicamente
conocidos d los grupos de mujeres estudiosa,s que juntas discuten los medlos
y recursos para hacer en silencia el trabajo en pro de la perfecc16n y ayuda
de agnelles menes afortunados que nosotras y el de las futuras generaciones en cuyo bienestar descansa el porvenir de nuestra nacl6n.

HE Extraordinary Increase of th o
Business of the Southern Arizona Bank
and Trust Company, Tucson's Pioneer Interest Paying Institution,
.
May be Attributed to the FolioWing:
An unswerving determination to serve every depositor with all the efficiency
that can come from a strong, well organized, properly appointed Bank.
An "agressive progressiveness"—a willingness to adopt everything that would
tend to make more convenient and more expeditious the relations between t h e
bank, the depositors and the general public.
Always maintaining "Security" as the keystone of the bank's success and progress.
Paying the highest rates of interest and on the most liberal terms consistent
with sound, conservative banking.
Safeguarding the funds of depositors strictly in accordance with the territorial laws pertaining to banks.
These are a few of the reasons why this bank in the period between May first
1903 and 1910 has increased in patronage from 10 to over 5000 customers, and in
deposits from $2000 to over $400,000—one of the greatest records made by any bank
in the Southwest.
