A Grave Omission. The Florence Tribune very per- , tinently remarks: "Whenever a deliberative assem assemblage - blage assemblage of any kind, otherwise than [ partisan, gathers in the capital of a commonwealth, it is the univer-j sal custom to invite the chief ex executive - ecutive executive of the state or territory to address the body in session, either in words of welcome or in kindly wishes for its work. That is a courtesy due the position whether the man deserving of scant courte courtesy - sy courtesy or none. In that particular the recent statehood convention at Phoenix committed a very grave mistake - one which it could not very well afford. It is true the convention was in the hands of Governor Hughes' personal enemies within his own part}; but they should not have forgotten the amenities of the occasion. Men who aspire to control the destinies of a great state are usually a little broader than that. The worst feature is the objec objection - tion objection it puts in the mouth of those -vho oppose in congress the admis admission - sion admission of Arizona. They can cite to the committee sent on to Washing Washington, - ton, Washington, as an instance of unfitness for statehood, this very omission of the convention so sending them." < - The Yuma Sentinel says: Rev. Father P. Band ini, secretary of the New York Italian Benevolent So Society - ciety Society and Rev. Father J. Ganbino, of Palermo, Sicily, agent for the Italian colony, negotiated for by Governor Hughes, while in Wash Washington, - ington, Washington, spent Monday and Tuesday in Yuma, looking over the field, for locating a large colony of Italian fruit and grape growers. They were very much pleased with what they saw and believe that Yuma offers the very best advantages for their people, all of whom are, or will be well supplied with means to carry out their plana They were very much pleased with the Colorado River Irrigation Co.'a Algodones property, also with the valley lands across the river. Their attention was called to the Mohawk valley. The lan Is under the South Gi a and Farmers canal, also the fine bottom lands in the Bueua Vista and in the Liguna valleys, and in the great valleys of the Gila and Colorado. The Rev. Fathers stated that they should spend some weeks in a careful examination of the different available localities in the southwest, before deciding on a location for their first colony. They made an excellent impression upon all with whom they conversed. Some of the largest aud l>est fla flavored - vored flavored apples, pears and peaches to be found in the world are grown near Prescott. Many of ihe apples weigh a pound a, ie e. This is the natural home of the Irish potato, as the plant was found growing in a wild state by the first white meu who .is ed this s<-c-ion. The yield from our mountain potato ranches is something enormous, and the potatoes are unexcelled, both * as to size a-d quality. The cab cabbage - bage cabbage heads, celery and other gul gulden - den gulden produce brought in fr»u» [ adjoining ranches are commented on with surprise by strangers. Our beef is the best and ranges now groan under herds of fat beef steers t which are for sale. With all these we make no pretentions to live in anything but a mining country, where the principal product of the land is pure gold. - Courier.

Some one has arisen to remark that Arizona is bebter off today than it was ten years ago when sil silver - ver silver mining was in its glory and then infers that silver is not one of our leading sources of wealth. The truth of the matter is that Arizona does not contain as many people as it did ten years ago if we can take the vote cast in 1883 and that cast last fall as a basis. The vote cast nine years ago for dele delegate - gate delegate to congress was 12,342 while in 1892 but 12,323 votes were cast. Had it not been for the onslaught made upon silver our voting popu population - lation population would have reached 30,000 or more ere thia - Prospector. llie long pending right of way suit of the SoutherA Pacific Qo vs, B.

The Missonii club will have twenty - four and many other delicauiea Arizona bronze turkey will be one of the features. Judge Baker has decided that Yuma is in Arizona. The question came up in the case of a man who was on trial for selling liquor to Indians. He claimed that the part of the town in which he was arrested was in California and that therefore the Arizona court had no jurisdiction to try him. 1 Can a Dollar Talk? * Yes; at our store.
