will be in Kingman Thursday to work up the

understand, to submit proposition to this

desire eighteen months in which to build the

bind the county for such a length of time

twenty-first birthday. What career the
young mammoth has had. Like the Bridge
port curiosity, it was bora with teeth, and
came into the world amid the tuFi0us roars

ticut youngster, also, its advent was watched
with intensest curiosity, and its parent sub
jeeted it 10 rough-and-tumble usage in its
earliest moments, to put life into it, even ut
the risk OF trumpiing it under foot altogether.
1t was an arena, saw dust all ready. and the
ring made for spectators, in which the young
Kansas took its first feeble steps, and it could
not then have been insured for any such sum
as Barnum has set upon the Bridgeport
youngster. But 1t has grown TO huge stat
ure since, and riches. Its history spans the
most stirring events Of our modern annals,
and they did well to celebrate its majority,

the centenials of other States, not of the ele-
