Dangerous Tree In n Storm.

Interesting observations made in
Germany show that the oak is the
most dangerous tree that one can seek
shelter under during n thunderstorm.
Out of 26S trees struck by lightning in
the parks at Dippe, in that country, 159
were oak trees, 81 were beech, 20 were
pine, so were fir. 4 were birch and .
were ash. In other words, more than
half the trees struck were oak, while
not quite one-fourth were frs. - 4

Mining asa Business.

There is often a deal of haphazard work about mining, but such are the ones that end in the failures that cause the public to hesitate about mak- ing investments. Ofttimes practical business men fail in the banking busi- ness, but this fact does not deter capi- talists from investing in the stock of a bank that is managed by men of ability, prudence and integrity. Fig ures have been repeatedly published showing that there is more money made in mining than at banking, and the fact that there are numberless fail ures in mining is easily explained l: Inexperienced and incompetent men attempting to manage the business end of the proposition. The same men would probably make failure at any other business that was new to them. Every mining camp presents evidence of the fact that with proper attention to details, honest effort is literally rewarded. Seattle Times.

Let us annex Arizona. Under the decisions of the supreme court it ap- pears to be uncertain whether terri tory is or is not an integral part of the United States. This question as to Arizona can be settled by admitting this progressive and productive terri tory into the Union as state.

 The Pacific coast in general and Southern California in particular, Ina. every reason to help Arizona to her responsibilities and duties of state. hood.
 The Pacific coast is weak in con gress and especially weak in the sen. ate. We have six senators to repre-. sent the Pacific seaboard, as against thirty on the A tiantic coast and eight on the Gulf of Mexico, or ten count ing Florida in both groups. The DOT tion of our country pre.eminentiy open to phenomenal growth under ir' rigatiop is also weak and unappre' cia ted, Arizona will understand, sym pathize with and promote every in terest in Southern California and on the Pacific coast, and throughout the arid section.
