ness men of Prcscott in the columns of your paper. For rears past the feasibility of open opening - ing opening a more direct road to Walnut Grove has been a question of discussion, and it uow comes up again. The operation of the Piedmont Water Storage Company, are giving employment to a good many men, and causing more travel and freighting to that place, and those living there or having business there, hare been looking up the road matter serioiuly. The case stands thus : The present wagon road to Walnut Grove by Iron Springs, Skull Valley and Morris' ranch, to where the company are building their dam at Wade's .ranch, covers a distance of at least 45 miles, while by either of the trails, the old Board camp trail, the Cul- lumber trail, or tne Montgomery trail. the distance In not more than 26 or 27 mile. Along the line of thcte trails, for 20 years, examinations have been induf- trioutly made without succc., in trying to find a practical route for a wagon wagon-road - road wagon-road on that line. At last it is admitted that there is a route over which a road can be con- structed. that will not be more than 28 , miles in length from Prescott to Abner Wade's ranch and the water works. This route for 16 miles passes over the Pres cott and Bradshaw wagon road, a road ' . . .a . m I fiat was ouiu oy uie county oi xavapai about ten years ago in order to bring to Prcscott the trade of the Peck and Brad- chaw mining districts, and the desired result was attained. The road lias cost the county every year tince it was built something for re pairs but it has preserved the connection between Prescott, aa a base of supplies, and those mining camps, which has re resulted - sulted resulted in the expending in Prescott of thousands of dollars produced from the mines, which had the road not been built would hare gone to Phenix. Now there is a new scene of activity at tlie lower end of Walnut Grove. What this community hare been pray ing for since '63 that is outside capital has come to Walnut Giove and that section. The Piedmont Co., bare bought out Wade's ranch for 110,000, the Barney Martin ranch for $3,50J, the Frink or Martinez ranch for about 30,009, apd hare paid the cash, and in the prosecu prosecution - tion prosecution of their mining and irrigating and stock transactions will spend still larger amounts. All of their trade might juit as well come to Prescott as to go to Phenix, If we had roads connecting us with their camps. I lie I'nenix mercnanta are alive to their own interests. Consider the sums of money they have spent to open roads to the Cave Creek mining district, to secure the Tip Top and Hum bug district trade. Consider the fact that they have a good road from Phenix up to the Castle Creek smelter, and con control - trol control nearly all the trade of the St. Louis and Yavapai Company, of the Tiger, Bradehaw and Peck mining districts, and are now proposing to continue the Castle Creek road ten or twelve miks over the divide into Walnut Grove. Yavapai county can start at Spence'a palace station, on the Prescott and Brad Brad-f - f Brad-f haw road, and follow down the east fork of the Hassayampa creek on the road built by the Bodie mining com company - pany company about two miles and then follow neatly on the line of the Charley Wash Washburn - burn Washburn trail to the point where the east fork and Slate Creek unite, from which point wagon roads already exist to every Ioint in Walnut Grove, which roads only require polishing up a little to make them eminently respectable. The distance where a new road has to be built will not exceed, between the points above mentioned more than six miles. The objection has previously been made '.o this route that in winter the Prescott and Uradthaw road is troubled with tnow. That is all bosh. There is uo difficulty in keeping the road open if there is any bu$inets over the road, and the snow in Maple Gulch and Crook Canyon is no more an obstacle to travel, than the nialpais mud that enforces an annual blockade in wet weather between Skull valley and Walnut- Grove on the road now traveled. After the examination of the East Fork route, as proposed, bv Geo. Opdykc, H. W. Clark, CoL II. A. Bigelow andChas. Wilson, all of whom have had much experience in roadbuilding, I make this proposition. I will contract to buiU a good wagon road from the Palace Station oa the P. 4 B. road, to connect with present roads in Wal Walnut - nut Walnut Grove for the sum of $1,50), and am prepared to give bonds for the proper f ullilmcnt of ruch contract This is a matter which the residents of Walnut Grove take a lively interest in, and if the business men of Prescott and the board of supervif ors of Yavapai county will move in this matter and get the road built, it will save to Prcscott a trade which naturally belongs to the city, but which for years past feat been slowly but surely drifting to other places.

ThaTwoTlekots. By a comparison of the two county tickets it will be seen that the democrats hare nominated Prescott men to the lucrative offices, such as Sheriff, Treas urer, District Attorniy, Reorder anl Probate Judge, thus entirely ignoring the claims of anyone outside of that pretentious burg. Prescott, being the county seat, largest town and business centra of the county, naturally has a right to be considered, but when she demands everything from a party and it is willingly conceded, it looks as if some something - thing something more substantial than fitness was the persuasive power. The republicans, on the contrary gave but three nominations to Prescott, one of which is a renomination, and the incumbent necessarily resides there. From this showing it will b? easily seen wnich party is free an 1 untrammsled and has consideration for every section of thewhole countyatnd which one bows the knee to its bosses and is considerate only of a clique of chronic offtee-holders. This is only oas view of ths subject, upon which the voters of Yavapii county should concentrate their gaze at present. Champion. "One of Tucson's business men was complaining yesterday that ' the Tucson papers did not take enough pains iu writing up the resources of the country and showing up its wonderful resources.' That may be all true enough, but the fact is that the rery man making the complaint is not advertising in a single paper in Tucson" Star. Mr. Hughes has been long enough in the business to have discovered loug ere this that the parties who pay least towards the sup support - port support of newspapers are the ones who are the most profuse in their suggestions as to what they should contain. In every community there are always found a number of people who contribute little or nothing towards their local papers papers-but - but papers-but who are forever finding fault with them. Their idea of the newspaper bus business - iness business is well put by the Phenix Herald, which says that they look upon it "as a sort of eleemosynary establishment that has the ability to live on promises to pay and distribute the richest benefits to all around it and pay its emi loyees WOO or 505 per month, forever. There are plenty of such men in the world." Travel is already on the increase to Prescott.
