COMMITTEE IS ACTIVE
Arizona's Real Desire for Statehood
 Is No Political Secret.

The statehood committee appointed at the citizens meeting last Saturday night is devoting considerable time to the work before it and leaving nothing undone that it can do to assure favor able action by the senate.
 The most that can De done of course is letter writing and telegraphing, and these two agencies are being employed to the best possible advantage. Be side the telegrams previously men tioned. and in order to apprise the peo pie that the committee is active, refer ence is made to subsequent messag ges. B. Heyman, chairman of the committee has sent several messages to Delegate Smith and received encoura ging replies. In one of them received yesterday MT. Smith says:
 ''I congra tulate all on passage of statehood bill through house. Have everybody knowing any member of sen ate urge support of bill and bring all pressure possible to bear on senate committee. Doctors will not permit me to work for fortnight at least. Will write when out of bed
 A telegram was also sent to the Commercial club of Chicago asking for
 it's support in the movement and the secretary replied that the club could not take action as a body. but he had sent d copy of the committees message to each member of the club for his iE- dividual consideration.
 Tn Illinois senators. MessTs. Mason and CuIlom, were also wired that at the last annual meeting of the Illinois society of Arizona resolutions were unanimously passed praying for state hood
 A message was also sent to Senator Beveridge, informing him that the Young Mems Republican club of this county had passed unanimously the same kind of resolution. J. C. Adams, chairman of the re0ub- licSn territorial central committee. sent strong messages to Senator BeVeridSe and Senator Hanna, setting forth the urgent necessity for statehood. the be- i lief of the party leaders that it would be q wise political move and pleading with them JG direct their influence in half Of the bill now before the senate. Mr. Fowler and other Arizona gentle
 men were wired for instructions as to any possible suggestions they might
 have.
 The above and many other messages that might be mentioned are conclusive proof that if the bill is defeated in the senate that body cannot deny that the | rassage Of the measure has been en- phatically asked for.

DOWNED BY BULLHEADS.
Lesson Given to Young and Lofty
 Legislator.

II went into the legislature a dozen years ago by a rousing majority, said a western Michigan man the other evening in Detroit hotel and all my political ambitions were aroused. I saw d United States senatorship, if not the presidency, ahead of me, and ! went around stepping high. If anybody had told me that l would be drowned in . mud hole I should have had him locked up as a lunatic. It came to pass. though. They had the fish question up before the house, and the bills made it unlawful to fish in inland lakes during certain months of the year. Among the lakes in my district was g mud hole affair, covering about two acres, and full of bullheads. Three different farms touched this pond, and the fishing had always been free to other farmers.
 While the bill was hanging fire sev eral farmers wrote to me to have the pond exempted from the operations of the law, but 1 couldn't see it their way. didn't care to get off my pedestal to wrestle with bullheads and frog ponds. II was included with the others whet. the bill passed, and l heard no mere about it until the session was over. Then an old farmer came to me one day and queried:
 'Jedge. is it true that you are goin' to run for the senate?"
 - expect to- I replied.
 'Waal, l wouldn't. if l was you. You beat us out of two months fishin' for buliheads every year. and we are goin 10 down you. Bullheads is mighty good eatin' after you've been on salt pork for six months

these are surface indications only. The
activity of invention is there, below
the surface, and great changes are
near.
What is difficult for an American 10
understand is that. for once, in a com
petition demanding a combination of
scientific research. mechanical skill
and practical ingenuity. the Yankee in
ventor has been outstripped at if not
absolutely from, the start, by alien
rivals. 1t is not often that the crow
of the French cock can drown the
scream OF the American eagle, but. so
far as auto-locomotion is concerned.
We have been fairly and squarely beat

fully, and turn our attention 10 what
the French are doing. with an idea of
profting thereby, rather than TO be
flying off at tangents without rhyme
or reason. oftentimes merely to repeat,
at the cost of time, capital and labor,
experiments which such men as De
Dion, Panhard. Girardot, Fournier or
Charron have proved impra cticable.
The subject OF the French automo-
bile in its commoner forms has been
too exhaustively treated in the Ameri-
can reviews to make it advisable TO 90
into the question here. What is of
more interes, at the moment is a brief
comment upon the directions in which
the fantastic though far from unprac-
tical, imagination of French inventors
is turning, now that the perfection of
the automobile. as a racing or road
carriage, is, - all intenJs and pur-
poses. merely question of time.
While Paris-and. for that matter

but casual acquaintance with ice and

French and Russians has naturally

the auto-sled has been for some time
an actuality. IL was a feature last
winter on the Neya ut St. Petersburg,
