! Advocates of statehood for Arizona who have been telicitating themselYas on the eGlly admission of the Territory to the Union, based upon tie favorable report of the Senate Committee on Ter iitories, have been premature in ex- pressing exultation. They have had visions of faf offices to be created un- der statehood, of deals in Phoenix real estate, of lucrative contracts for pub lie works and schemes galore to despoil the taxpayers and complete the finan- cisl ruin of Arizona. t1.
 "The best laid schemes O mice snd men gang aft a-gley," and the tenor of all late dispatches from Washington (except the fakes published ih some of the Ph@nix papers, diAeourages the belief that Arizona will in the near fu- ture become n twinkhng star in the galaxy of States, The prevailing opin- ion among Senators is that the Arizo- na statehood bill will not be considered during the present session of Congress, but in the event that it should be, and action upon it is favorable, similar conditions would be imposed as are provided for the admission of Utah, which can not become a full fedged State before tue close of 1895.
 However. there is not even this prospect for Arizona's admission, judg- ing from Washington dispatch of tha goth inst, to the Globe Democrat, which covers the case so completely that we append it.
 The telegram roads "The Arizona Statehood bill has encountered oppo- sition in the Senate, The objection to Arizona is based on two grounds. One is that the population does not justify statehood, Democrats have had much to say about the rashuess of the Republicans in admitting territories of small population to statehood. It is argued by some of the Democratic Sen ators that the admission of Arizona hy Democratic Congress will hullify al of the criticism that has been passed on the Republicans. The President is sad to take this view of the Arizona bill. The other objection raised to Arizona is on the score of territorial debt Ayizona has managed to accu- mulate debt out of proportion to her developed resources. The politicians want statehood, but some of the busi. ness men of Arizona do not. Mining corporations especially, feel that if the cost of State Government is added to the taxes now necessary to meet inter- est charges, the burden will be exces- sive. These corporations prefer to see Arizona remain Territory and let the United States pay the expense of gov ernment while longer. It is impos- sible to tell how strong this opposition to Arizona's statehood is, but it is ahowing considerable vigor

Dead at His House.
La Grande Chronicle.


1t was reported here late this afternoon
that an old bachelor living on Cricket fat,
east of Elgin, was found dead today In his
house, which had been locked up. There
was a bullet hole entering at the back of
the head and emerging above the right eye.
from which brains and blood were oozing.
Some cloth had been stuffed in the hole
above the eye to stop the flow. There is
no reason to believe that the old man COM
mitted suicide or that anyone murdered
him, and the theory given this paper is that
some visitor may haye killed him acciden-
tally, and not wishing the carelessness to
become known adopted means of concealing
it. The unfortunate's name, or any further
details concerning the affair. could not be
obtained up to the hour of going to press.

After the banquet was over, Mr.. NAL

The Old Liberty Bell.

The old liberty bell now rests in a
handsome new case in the east room
of Independence hall, Philadelphia.
The case is made of selected quar-
tered white oak, is feet 10 inches
square and 10 feet high. On each CT
the four sides is a large plate glass
over A feet wide and z feet high in
the center. At each corner is q
bronzed pillar surmounted by neat
carved work, while over each of the
glass sides is an arch with the names
of the 13 original states carved, that
of Pennsylvania being on the key
stone. Facing the doorway, leading
down from the top, is a carved model
of "Old Abe" the famous war eagle,
the wings measuring 81 inches from
tip to tip.
Beneath, on the top part of the
case, is the inscription copied from
the bell, Proclaim liberty through
out all the world to all the inhabitants
thereof" On each corner of the top
is polished bronze torch. The bell
is suspended within the case from
the marred old yoke on which it hung
when it made its historic peal. The
yoke itself was made from tree just
back of the hall. This is supported
by columns of bronze, and its col
umns rest on truck, which fits
snugly inside the case, and appears
to be simply floor Beneath are four
rubber tired wheels, which will per-
nit quick removal in case of fire.
The new case complete cost 81, 5OO.-

Tragedy at Barlow.

Early Sunday morning, at Barlow,
Or. H. Gillian was found dead on the
stone filing in the center pier of S. P.
railroad bridge one mile north of this
place. He left here about $50 Saturday
evening in company of Sid Lumpkins,
both slightly under the influence of
liquor. Lumpkins had a new axe handle
which was found by the body. Sunday
morning Lumpkins came back and in
quired about Gilliams, saying he had
not seen him since Saturday. He bought
another axe handle saying he lost the
other one on his way home. Paint on
the tin root on top Of the bridge was
scratched, looking as if Gillian had been
pushed off. There was also paint on the
bottom of bis boot. His skull vas
crushed in by the fall on the rocks below

Want a New County.

There will be an effort made during the
next session of the Oregon legislature to
have new county carved out of the east
ern part of Crook, the north. end of Grant,
a portion OF Gillian ard the southern corner
of Wasco counties. with the town of Nit
chell as the county seat. This proposition
was before the last session but failed. The
people embraced in the territory named
should have their county," says an ex-
change They are now isolated, as it
were, from the rest of the world, beng
from fifty to seventy miles away from ia
cilities for dong county business in either
OF the counties in which they live, and dur
ing the winter months are prevented from
going to the county seat by an Impassable
say"
There is no more need of this new county
than there is for fifth wheel to coach.
Some town desires county seat honors, and
Immediately there is petition for new
political division to be formed. There Is
bot enough property in the new county to
paw p,o, er salaries for officers, or to erect
public buildings. and the division would ek e
out miserable existence for many wears. No
new county is needed of the district named,
and until the residents can show sufficient
wealth to support the new organization the
le. .islature should not grant the petition.

were attending religious services Sunday
evening, their residence was discovered to
be on fire. Although neighbors quickly
rendered assistance. the house. together
with all contents, was totally destroyed.
The only property saved was stove and
some potatoes which were IN the smoke
house. There was no insurance and the
loss falls heavily upon MIR. Ray for the rea.
son that he had little property other than
the residence and his household effects.
Monday the neighbors met and made ar
rangements to provide for the Immediate

The 500" Coming.

The following is what the Peadleton East
Oregonian says of railroad prospects:
1t Is probable that the Canadian will get
into Portland over the o. K & N. and rail.
road men are specializing over the form of
arrangement between the two roads. The
Great Northern is to haul from MInot, N.
D., to Spokane and the o. r. & N. the re-
mainder of the way. The Canadian $500"
is to be part of the line and the 500 from
st. Paul and Minneapolis has direct line
through to the Atlantic seaboard. This
same $500" is one of the scrappers for busi-
ness. In connection with the Canadian
Pacific. 1t being a part of that syst m, the
$500" is constantly upse:tiug plans formed
by other roads, and railroad men generally
turn the picture of the 800" toward the
wall. For years the 800" differential has
traffic, but the 500" has always been sue
cessful in extortrg it. Even now there is
an alliance between other systems to break
the ''Soo's" hold, but it is unlikely that the
move Will DS SUCCESSFUL 1uc SuDSiuIZSu
