A USEFUL

A novel apparatus has been specially
designed for stout and indolent per-
sons. 1t is fashioned of iron, n con
sists of q support, to which are ar
tached three steps, one above tho
other. It's object is to provide a rest
ing place for a persons foot when ne
wishes to lace, unlace, button or unou'-
ton a shoe. Hitherto a chair OF SOFA
has been generally used for this puI-
pose, and according to thrifty mousse
keepers many a piece of furniture ha'
been more or less furnished thereby

Williams news., 1901-12-14

THE NEWS, this week, enlarges considerably in size by lengthening its pages two inches each, making the length of type columns fourteen inches. For some time we have appreciated the need of more space for the advertisements of our mer- chants, which are increasing stead fly week by week, and also to do justice to this hustling, growing vii
 cinity. We are glad to note the prosperity of this immediate sec tion, which is apparent on every hand, and we are grateful for the share we are receiving. Owing to enlarging the paper before we an ticipated, and the fact that trains carrying local freight between Los Angeles and this point are little irregular lately, the NEWS this week appears upon a slightly inferior quality of paper to that used in the past, but with your kindness to overlook this point, we will en- deavor to return to the better paper next week, and will continue this form in the future.

THE Santa Fe Pacific Railroad

THE Santa Fe Pacific Railroad company will build a large masonry dam on Johnson Canyon creek, about one-half mile above the steel dam built on that stream in 1897. A spur track one and one-half miles long is now being built to ship material to the site. Work on the dam will commence about May 1, 1902. The dam will be sixty feet high, impounding 175,0OO,OOO gallons, and will cost s75,OOO.0O. There appears to be no end to inn provements in this vicinity.

ARIZONA AND STATEHOOD.

ARIZONA AND STATEHOOD.
 In discussing the. proposition to grant statehood to Arizona some of the opponents of the measure display a degree of mendacity and ignor- ance that is astounding among men who work for the public press, and it may well be asked why for eigner should be able to read the constitution so long as natives are so ignorant of domestic affairs, so little conversant with conditions of the nation Some of these oppon- ents are declaring, even with the census report at their elbows, that 50 per cent of the people are aliens, that 24 per cent of the voters are illiterate, and that the population consists of greasers, Negroes, Chi nese and Indians.
 As to the illiteracy of the terri tory the governor is prepared to show that it is less in proportion to numbers than in any other state or territory. As to the origin and race of the people the census bulletin makes the following showing:
 Native born .... .9S, ,69S Foreign born. ... 24, ,233 Native white, white parents A, ,S30 Native white, foreign parents, ,67S Total native white :. 0,50S Foreign white ...2 .22, ,390 Total white .92, ,303 Neeroes I,o4o Total colored ... 30,02S
 Thus it would appear that in stead of being a conglomeration of Indians, greasers, Spanish and Indian mixture), Negroes and Chi nese, the population of Arizona has a larger per centage of whites than most of the southern communities, and a smaller per cent of foreigners and those of foreign percentage than almost any state of the northwest. The greasers are counted among the colored, for pure blood Span iard is not a greaser by any means, and the bulk of the population of color is accounted for by Indians on their reservations. It may be that the man who does not study, who does not read reputable author ities, who gains all his ideas of state by passing through railway stations in the desert, is to be par doned for his mistakes on the score of ignorance, but such ignorance is not excusable among those who write and speak for the edification of the public. The admission of Arizona should be frankly discussed on its merits, and there can be no justification for an American who, for any reason, befouls the name of an American community.-Ced Rapids (Iowa) Evening Gazette.
 The above is taken from the edi- torial column of the Gazette and is a criticism to the point. Some of Arizona's opponents are using slan- derous methods to defeat statehood and such articles as the one above are pleasing to see.

AN INQUEST TO BE HELD.
Coroner hewitt VIII Investigate the
Death of Augustine OeIbermann.

The death of Augustus Oelbermann. an
old soldier. who is a tailor by trade, last
Sunday night at Providence Hospital, is
TO be the subject of an investigation by
Coroner hewitt. He has ordered an in
quest over the remains for tomorrow
morning at the Sixth Precinct station.
The body of Oelbermann is held at the
undertaking establishment of Rosenberg.
5ll G Street northwest, and has been
viewed by the Coroner. Detective Muller
is assisting in an investigation of an ac-
cident which may have resulted in the
death of Oelbermann.
More than a month ago, while cross
ing the railroad tracks at Four-and-one-
half Street and Missouri Avenue north
west. Oelbermann was struck and
knocked down by a street car. 1t appears
that two OF his ribs were fractured and
his collarbone was broken by the force OF
sistance, and the old man was taken to
the hospital. There he fingered. at times
showing Improvement, but owing to his
advanced age, seventy-three years, his
constitution could not withstand the
shock of his injuries. Sunday the end
came.
The hospital physicians gave traumatie
pneumonia as the cause of death. Such
a certificate presented at the Health Office
led to inquiry. and the case was turned
over to Coroner hewitt for Investigation.
Then some of the facts became known
and the inquest was decided upon So far
as known, Oelbermann had no relatives
in this city. He came here from Germany
fifteen years ago.
