The Gazette expresses the opini n that the methods Of The Republican are "bringing discredit upon Arizona jour nalism." There can be no doubt that those methods are opposed to the ttjournalism" of which the Gazette has been the chief exponent in this terri tory.

If The Republicans industrial dis plays served no other purpose than to excite the other papers Of this town they would not be unwelcome to the masses.

COUNTRY GAS MEN EASIER.
Not So Hard to Get Even With as the
 City Companies.

You may not be able to go5 even with a city gas company, but country companies are cinchas. said the subur- banite. Yes, they nave the man to tell you they'I send up and examine the meter, and that one really doesn't know how much gas one does burn, but you can fool them, just the same ''
 "Old story, I suppose, of burning lamps and having the same bill, and T told you SOP said his friend
 No, that won't work. They charge just the same and you have to pay the bill, lamps or no lamps l got even with q gas stove. The company in the town where 1 live in the sumner ad- yertised 2 wonderful gas range. It would cost. only $14, and of this SIP would be allowed in gas bills and would last for three months. The stove wouldn't burn more than $4 worth of gas 8 mOnth, it was said. Now, the first month that Volcano steve used up SIP worth Of gas and the second month it consumed S8 worth and went ID G0 $3 the third month. And all the tims, mind you, the people who lived next. door and entertain all the time and do their washing by gas, too"
 ''Oh, know about fanily-naxt-door blll only 8, broke in the friend "Tell me your story

 ''I know" said the fri5nd "Go 0n."

THE SNOW HABIT.
One of the Things the Klondyke Offers
 for Which Gold is Not q Cure.

Every great discovery in the worlds history has brought with it an accom- panying af1iotion, and it has remained for the FZIondyke to develop a peculiar mania that threatens to outrivaI opium eating. Among the residents Of the far north it is known as the snow habit" and it is said to be incurable. Henry Barnum of Great Bend township has returned from the KlOndyke and tells the strange story.
 There are many strange things in the Klondyke," said MT. Barnum, fbut perhaps the strang6St, and that about which nothing has been written So far, is the dissipation caused by eating snow. In the north, when the ther- mometer reaches 30 to 40 degrees below zero, Q mOuthfuI of snow is like molten metal It brings an Inflammation to the palate and tongue, and it is impCs- sible to quench the thirst. The first advice an old timer offers a newcomer in thc region is Don't eat snow There are men in that country, once hearty, robust miners now weak, effCminate creatures, whose fall can be traced di- rectly to the time they began munch- ing snow.
 The matter has been but little in yestigated, but the scientists who have examined the subject say that the wa ters Of the north are rich with mineral deposits which are being constantly washed down from the mountains. 4 certain per cent of this mineral is talk en into the air when vapor rises. and tho snow becomes {nlYregnated with it. There have been several falls of red snow near Point Barrow, the deposit

The great ascension ON the stock

attention of the country just now.
The enhancement of stocks in the
past month are truly astonishing
1t is a record of financial profit

for that reason it is not to be won
dered that this phenomenal advance
is being heralded as the forerunneE

"The fret aspect of prison life
that strikes one who enters within
the doors is its cutoTness from the
world outside" writes Mrs. Bal
hneton Booth in the February
ladies Homo Journal "The man
who has friends who still care for

OF visits year. when for few
minutes he talks with wife or
mother or friend in the guard
room, and he is allowed to write
one letter q month and to receive
letters twice week. To him there
10. therefore, still this little bridge
between his cell and the world
from which he hes been bauished.
To many, however, there does not
exist this link-no friends have
they to call on them, and the de
iverer of letters passes their cells
every week for years without stop
ping to hand message through
the bars to them. Stern discipline
loneliness, long hours OF work, a
narrow little cell with just room
enough for a stool and a bed, with
e thick barred door through which
the light falls Aanked with shadows
as a constant reminder of confne-
ment-these, IN part, make up
prison life. The felon of wealth
and the poor prisoner from the
slums may march next each other
in the lockstop and occupy adjacent
cells on the gallery, for to all in
tents and purposes they are alike
now. The striped dress, close
cropped hair, the utter stripping
of of all comforts have leveling
influence"
THE awfulness of prison Life hes
in the memories OF the pest: the
dismal contrast between home ana
prison cell; the longing for loved
ones whose hearts are aching away
out Of reach; the knowledge that
the wretched companionship OF
misery must be theirs, in the weary
round of prison toll from morning
till night, for the long years ahead,
which seem irte1mineblo. Above
and beyond all this, prisoners have
the bitter realization Of the brand
that has fallen upon them never to
be convicts-that they
are degraded before the public, and
viii be looked upon forever as
accursad"

live up to the agreement entered into be-

MUST HAVE BEEN GUESSING.
County Auditor Puzzled by the
ComptrOIIeris Statement.

County Auditor johnson was somewhat
surprised when he noticed that Comp
troller McCardy had In a resolution to
the council stated the tax levy rate per
cent for the county. "I do not see how
the comptroller could say just what the
county levy would be when I do not
know at the present time the figures my
SELF" said the county auditor yesterday.
1.-THE county commissioners have in
structed me to levy upon the assessed
valuation to an extent sufficient to raise
$685., 900. In round figures the assessed
valuation is $97,0000O0, and to raise the
amount will require a levy of 3.43 mills
on the dollar. To this must be added
the one mill tax for the schools, making
a total levy for the county Of 443 mills.
at is possible that under the large spe-
cial clearance sale and the expected re-
ceipts from delinquent taxes this figure
may be reduced somewhat, but just how
much I have not as yet determined. If
the law providing for the additional levy
of one and a half mills for school pur-
poses should be declared constitutional 1t
will add about one-twentieth Of mill
to the levy. 1t looks to me as though
