A POPULAR CANDIDATE.

The nomination of Hon. Pierce Evans for mayor meets with popular approval. Upon platform pledged to progress, prosperity and plenty his candidacy evokes degree of enthusiasm that was not expected by even his most ardent supporters in the beginning.
 The experience which Mir. Evans has had in the upbuilding of many cities lends to his popularity as a candidate and to his usefulness as mayor. Mr. Evans has been prominently identified with the cities on the Sound in the state of Washington and with Oregon and California cities. He will go into office in Phoenix just at time when his progressive ideas concerning mu- nicipal affairs will be of the greatest value to the people. MT. Evans is a mascot. Every city in which he has lived has prospered, and with a man of that kind at the head of the city gov. ernment we are bound to reap the advantage of his knowledge concerning matters of so much importance to the people.
 The nomination of MT. Evans was an inspiration-the knocking of Dame Fortune at the gates of the city; and his election will mark the beginning of that era of progress, modern develop ment, immigration and prosperity to which for years all have looked forward with 10 much hope.

CHAIRMAN GOODRICH.

The reelection of Hon. L. H. Good rich as chairman of the Republican city central committee, was a wise party move. The campaign year ago was the most successful ever conducted in the city and the reelection of Dr. Goodrich as chairman insures another intelligent and business-like campaign.
 The election of MT. Wade Rulings az secretary and MT. c. M. Sturges as treasurer of the committee secures for Chairman Goodrich two able lieuten. ants and the committee opens the cam- paign in most suspicious manner.

GROWS IN STRENGTH.

.
 That the Republican city convention nominated strong ticket becomes more apparent every hour. The num- Der of representative citizens, irre- spective of party, who called at this office yesterday for the purpose of pledging their support and assistance to the ticket is an index of the popu- larity and strength of the candidates, concerning which there can be no mis- take. All classes of people, of all po- litical faiths, are enthusiastic and pro- nounce the ticket an ideal one in every respect.
 The platform upon which the candi- dates were nominated pledges them to new era in the administration of the city's affairs, and the makeup of the ticket is guarantee in itself that ii the gentlemen nominated are elected the promises which they make will be fulfilled.
 Within the next four years Phoenix ought to be city of much importance. Within even two years it ought to be three times as large as now. Before another election after this there will probably be at least two more railroads

LAID BY THE TABLED ROC.

Important Discovery in Madagascar Of the
Egg of the Extinct Gigantic BIRD.
' A large specimen Of the egg of the
tabled roc of the arabian Nights" or
Epyornis, as the extinct gigantic bir.
of Madagascar is called, has been Sc
cured by Mr.. j. Proctor, of Tamatave
and Princes square, W.. who has
brought the curiosity to London. 1t
was discovered by some natives about
twenty miles to the southwark of st.
Augustine's bay, on the southwest
coast of Madagascar. 1t was floating
on the calm sea, within twenty yards
of the beach, and is supposed TO have
been washed away with the forcshore,
which consists of sand hills, after .
hurricane in the early part of the year.
The childlike longshoreman of the
antipodes, opining that the egg had a
value, showed the unusual piece Of
flotsam about with a view to sale, and
Proctor. The egg, which is Whitley
brown in color and unbroken, is fine
specimen, 3311zx2S inches, and an even
higher value is placed upon it than
upon the egg of the great aux, which
lived within the memory of man. The
Brobdignagian proportions of the egg
are better demonstrated by compar-
ison with the eggs of the ostrich and
crocodile. An ostrichs egg is about II
inches by:15 inches, and the contents of
six such are only equal to one egg of
the Epyornis. The measurements of
the egg Of the crocodile are normally
9 inches by 81 inches. 1t would re-
quire the contents Of 1911 emu's eggs
to equal the contents of this great egg,
or 14S eggs Of the homely fowl, or so,
600 of the humming bird. The last egg
of the kind disposed of in London sold
for 9tOO, though cracked.

The Queer Way the Telephone System IL

The telephone is rapidly conquering
the remoter parts of the old world.
One Of the latest connections, says the
Western Electrician, is that made be-
tween Galatz and Braila, two CONNER
cal cities of Roumania, on the lower
Danube. A merchant of Braila wanted
to buy some barley, and went to the
telephone office to speak to his agent at
Galatz, where the produce exchange
was held at the time.
Have you written to your friend to
be at the telephone at this hour?" asked
the officer in charge at the telephone
station.

"Then you have telegraphed, ]

chant, irritably.
"Then / cannot let you use the tele-
phone" retorted the officer. "The in
structiOns are" continued he, that
through the telephone must agree upon
the time beforehand by letter or by
telegraph or by other means of commu
nication"
but did not know until now that
wanted to buy barley" explained the
merchant.
Then l cannot allow You to use the
telephone" said the officer. and the
merchant had to give up the idea OF
buying barley that day.

" hen n Hear IL Trapped.

When bear finds himself trapped
and his first tornado like hurst of fury
is over he turns all his energy and eff
tort toward getting away from the
spot as lar and fast As he can and to
freeing himself from the trap \ bear
is always caught by his foot, most ire
Iuently fore foot. A bear trap itself
is ponderous iron thing, as much as
4 man would care to carry far, the
jaws frequently set with long. sharp
teeth which bury themselves in each
side bears leg. Then a heavy clog
Is always attached to the trap by n
strong chain, the dragging of which
by the bear through the woods delays
his progress 10y catching under roots
and logs and other distractions.
Sometimes the bear will carry the
heavy clog and walk on his hind feet,
but this is method of travel, which
he cannot maintain long and is slow
at best. The bear seems to know that
his trapping is but the prelude to pur-
suit by hunters and dogs, and he
leaves nothing undone to free himself
from the hindering trap. He will
climb trees, impeded as he is, fasten
the clog in a crotch or around limb,
and jump from a tree in desperate
endeavor TO tear his foot loose from
the trap. This is q well known effort
OF the bear when the trap is on hind
foot. Frequently he succeeds in free
ing himself in this way, as traps are
found in trees, with q bears foot, or a
portion of one, held in its Jaws. Of
ten, though, the hold of the trap on
the leg is too firm for even the weight
OF the bear and the impulse of his fall
to overcome, and it has not been an
uncommon thing for the bear to be
found hanging dead from his cruel
imprisonment. If the trap is on a
fore foot the bear will pound it on a
rock with tremendous blows, hoping
to smash it, feat in which he does
not always fail; and he will even
gnaw his foot Off to escape. Three
footed bears are by no means a rarity
in the woods where bears abound
The bones of bear are soft and
spoDgy and do not break like the hard
bones of deer. A bullet striking the
bone of deer will shatter and splinter
it, or break it square in two, while q
bullet will pass through the bone of q
bear without Gripping him in the

Cost OF Deporting Chinameu


In the last eighteen months nearly
one hundred Cinnamon have been de.
ported. Fully as many have been tried
and acquitted. The Southern Pacific
charges fifty-one dollars from Tacoma
for every Chinaman deported. The cost
of the trial and capture of a Chinamap
is nearly fifty dollars. The total ex-
pense of capturing, convicting and de-
porting a Chinaman averages one hun.
dred dollars. Considering that the time
of the deputy United States marshal is
worth something the cost of capturing
those acquitted is ten dollars. Hence
the total expense that the Ninth dis.
trict has incurred in depor4ing China
men in the last year and half is.
counting the services of all the officers,
nearly fifteen thousand dollars. This
is for one judicial district only, and the
expense of keeping Cinnamon out Of
this country is said to be quite large.

CURIOUS MEXICAN BELIEFS.

The Old-Time Idea OF Heaven and the
Hereafter.
The ancient Mexican idea of Heaven,
hell and the after state of the soul is
extremely curious and interesting. Ac-
cording to their notions, souls neither
good nor bad, or those whose virtues
and vices balanced each other. were to
enter n medium state of idleness and
empty content.
The wicked, or those dying by any Of a
long list of different modes of death,
went to Meitlan. q distant hall within
the bowels of the earth. The souls Of
those struck by lightning, or Of those
dying by given list Of diseases, were
transported to a remote elysium, called
TialOcan; children went to the same
place. The actual Heaven, the House
OF the Sum-" was reserved for warriors,
women who died in defense of their
children and those who We're offered up
as sacrifices. Immediately after death,
according to their beliefs, the soul
passed to that great House Of the
Sum-" ruled over by the sun himself,
who permitted the faithful to accom-
pony INN Aoi al iohS tSiih W cdTS ia Ills
circuit of the skies.
During all these years Of continual
fight they were supposed to honor the
sun with songs, dances and other forms
of revelry. After this term of proba-
ton was ended they believed that they
would be terminated and become beau
tiful birds with brilliant plumage, liv-
ing alternately among the stars Of
heaven and the flowers of earth.
Their burial customs were equally
curious. They buried jug of water
with each corpse and placed small bits
of white bark in the hands. These
pieces of bark were usually covered
with characters, fact which caused
some psychologists to suggest that they
were probably passports to the region
beyond the stars. When one of their
number died the friends and relatives
forthwith made a bonfire of all his per-
sonal effects, the idea being to light the
soul in its fight through the cold and
cherries regions of space.

When all were thus posted, the first
