For the first two or three days he

United States Attorney Ellin-
wood yesterday received directions
from tie attorney-general of the
United States to set the case of the
United State VS. the Copper Queen
Consolidated company for trial as
early as possible. This is a suit to
recover Sl88,o00, the value estimat,
ed upon stumpage of wood on the
western side of the Chiricahua
noun aims cut by the defendants.
Two trials have been had, in both
of which juries disagreed. The
whole matter seemed to hinge upon
the character Of the land from
which the timber had been cut. Ii
it was mineral land, the defendant
could not be held for damages. If
it was not the defendant had com.
mittsd violation of the law. Last
fall the government sent member
of the geological survey, Mr.. WI
demar Lindgren, to make an tx
animation of the country. His re-
port has not been made public,
but the fact that the government
hassordered continuation of the
litigation indicates that his finding
is against the copper company
Republican.

We would like to have some of
the Doodle organs of the Territory
give one sound reason for fighting
home rule. The only one advanc-
ed so far is that the people, are not
capable of sell government, which,
if it We're fact would be good
and sufficient reason why we should
be denied statehood, which these
same organs pretend to want.
This pretention towards statehood
is about the thinest piece Of hy-
pooracy it has been our misfortune
to behold for some time. Why do
not these vipers say honestly that
they fear that the beds of down
they now repose on would be turn
ed to beds of straw, that when the
people are given the privilege OF
electing their own officers that

Problem on tho rorblaaen Fruit.

FIT. Grants student in ancIent
history submits the following prob
lem:
II has been subject under dis.
cussion for an almost unknown
period as to how many apples
Adam and Eve devoured from the
tree of forbidden fruit. / think /
have at last accomplished the task
of making correct calculation of
the amount.
If the last numbers of the ex-
ample seem rather large please re-
member that according TO reports
of learned men we are constantly
decreasing in size and if that be 80,
just think for moment what an
enormous giant and giantess Adam
and Eve were and then you can
follow up that vivid train of
thought by IMAGINING how large
their appitites must have been.
The example is this: How many
apples did Adam and Eve eat?
Some say Eve 8 and Adam 2, a
total Of 10 only. If Eve 8 and
A Am 8 also. total l6.
We think the above figures en-
tIrely wrong, If Eve s and AdaG,
8 2, certainly the total would be
90.
| Scientific men, however, on the
strength of the theory that thu
antediluvions were race of giants
reason something like this:
| Eves8 4 and Adam 2, total l63
i Wrong again. What could b,
clearer than if Eve s l and Adam
IS 2 the total was 1913.
| / believe the following to be thu
true solution:
i Eve 8 Ia Adam and Adam 8
LA Eve, total 8,93S. Still anothe
calculation is as follows:
| Eve s / 4 Adam and Adam s
2 A 2 obhge Eve, total, S2,056.

IHE Bulletin attempts TO main
tain that it was correct in stating
that Andrew Kimball had been ap-
pointed President of this stake and
that Prest. Layton had resigned,
because the DeSeret Ne,oS of the 7th
inst. said: "Elder Kimball has
been chosen to preside over the
st. Joseph stake" The Bulletins
article was written before the
above appeared. Even at this
time Mr.. Kimball's appointment Is
not complete, nor has Mr.. Layton's
resignation been accepted. The
Mormon people elect their own of.
fcers. The first presidency has
selected Mr.. Kimball, but before
he is president of the stake he
must be sustained at the general
conference by the people over
whom be Is to preside, at which
time Prest. Layton will be released,
if at all. The GUARDIAN said that
both these events would likely oc-
cur, but had not yet, and we were
correct. If the Bulletin does not
believe this let its editor ask Prest.
Layton. But its last article was
not for the purpose of convincing
its readers of its accuracy, but for
the purpose Of ridiculing the
Mormon people. 1t said: "Per'
haps the editor of the GUARDIAN
was an applicant for the place
himself and felt that there might
be a mistake about the selecting OF
a Utah man." All recognize that
the above was published for the
purpose of ridicule and nothing
else, for the editor of the GUARDIAN
would appear as ridiculous in
such an exalted position as the
editor of the Bulletin does when he

The most audacIous and stupen-
dous fraud ever incubated-and per.
haps the most romantic--was the
"Peralta Grant," which came very
near robbing the United States of
more than twelve million acres of
Arizona and New Mexico. A
famous jurist has characterized it
as "the greatest fraud ever attempt
ed against a government in its own
courts" Those fellows who
are now trying TO annex q few
pitlful patches far down the Pacific,
should feel cheap beside this
singlehanded man who aimed to
annex to himself domain nearly
three times as big as the Hawaiian
Islands. One of the most striking
episodes in American history Is the
career of this remarkable man, this
prince of plotters and of forgers,
James Addison Reavis. For a
quarter of a century and in many
lands he has been working, with
astonishing cleverness, patience
and audacity, fabricating evidence
in chain nearly two hundred
years long, to substantiate his
fraud. By perjured witnesses,
forged documents interpolated
even in ancient records and count.
less other devices, he had built up
an apparently invincible claim to u
territory bigger than New Hamp-
shire and Massachusetts put to-
gether. An inside statement of
this unparalleled (and almost sue
cessful) plot, has never been pub
lished. The Land Of Sunshine,
will print the first authentic story
by one OF the experts
who ferreted out the well.covsrsd
tracks of the arch swindler and
finally brought him to justice.
