Inst What Was In Him.

Children" said the teacher, while
instructing the class in composition,
you should not attempt any flights OF
fancy, but simply be yourselves, and
write what is in you. Do not initiate
any other persons writings, or draw
inspiration from outside sources"
AS a result of this advice Johnny
Wise turned in the following compost
ton:
I'VE should not attempt any fiites

err, two apples, one piece of pie, one

Mining for Ice In Arizona.

Perhaps the most novel mine in the
world is found in northern Arizona.
The caves lying at the head of Clark's
valley, fourteen miles Southwest OF
Flagstaff, contain thousands of tons
of natural ice and a company has been
formed to quarry the product. Many
years ago Liuetenant r.. 0. Hill, who
headed an exploration expedition
through Arizona, Utah, Colorado and
California, discovered the caves. His
party descended into them and the
change from terrific July heat to the
cold-storage caves made the men i'll.
The cave had been explored but a
short distance when E. H. Dalton Of
New York succeeded in crawling
through narrow and winding passages
for hundreds of yards. Inside he dis
covered a great cavern surrounded by
smaller caves, all of which held vast
deposits of ice. The flooring of the
caves is of solid ice, which, it is be-
lieved, leads far down into the earth.
Mr.. Dalton has formed a corporation
which will blast an entrance into the
caves and then proceed to system
atically quarry the product. 1t is be-
lieved that the output will be several
thousand tons daily. Scientists are
en~deavoring to discover why ice should
grow in the molten State of Arizona.

APLURALITY VOTE.

Many reasons are being adj
vanced by the press Of the State
for the overwhelming majority
accorded Jefferson B. Browne in
the primary of last week in the
race for Railroad Commissioners
in which he defeated Henry b.
Day, the present chairman OF
the Board, Some accord it to
personal popularity and political
shrewdness but to us it seems a
strong argument in favor OF
plurality nominations hereafter
without recourse to a second
primary. 1t will be remembered
that in the first primary Mr..
Brown received something like
80 votes more than did Mr.. Day,
but neither having received a
majority of the votes cast, under
the rules governing, a second
primary was necessary. Both
gentlemen are widely known in
the State and both are highly es-
teemed, and we have no doubt
but that the personal friends of
the one equal in number those
OF the other. But the result OF
the first primary showed that
Mr.. Brown was the most popular
candidate of the two and in the
second primary the voters flock
ed to his standard so fast that
Mr.. Day was completely buried
We do not think that the de-
feat of Mr.. Day was due to any
of his political addresses but
rather TO the fact that the vo'
tiers are of the opinion that Mr..
Browne should have the place
because he showed more votes in
the first primary Amend the
law so as to make a plurarity
vote decisive. The people want
it.
