Arizona, to be on hand next Monday, to begin his duties as official stenographer for the Supreme Court of the territory, his appointment to which having already been mentioned It is a fine position with the big salary of f 3,500 per year attached, Today’s fine weather has dispelled the fear caused by yesterday’s storm, that March was going to act up bad at its wind-up, and thus verify the rule of coming in like a lamb and going out like a lion. Instead it seems to have come in like a lamb and to be going out like a dear old mother sheep and a pair of twins.

Cepted by Trustee Chapman. M P.

Some of the farmers are still a little fearful abcut starting to sow their oats. They remember what happened eleven years ago.
