SANTA FEE TOURIST RATE.

Notice has been given by the Santa Fe road of its intention to continue in effect until June 15 the one way colonist rate of s33 to California points. This action will keep the rate in effect from February b to June 15, inclusive, though it will not be in effect over the Santa Fe lines until April l.
 When the Southern Pacific first .an- nounced the rate the Santa Fe pro- tested that it was being made at a most inopportune time. Regular first class winter tourist travel was at its height and the tracks were being taxed to their utmost capacity to take care of freight traffic. The protest, how ever, was without effect. The Santa Fe decided to keep out of the business until it could enter it with profit to itself and so it decided not to put the rate into effect ever its lines till April l and to keep it il effect to June 15.

STATEHOOD
 COMPROMISE
Consolidation of Two Territories and Admission as One State Not
 Wholly DistastefuI.
Anonymous Senator expatiates on the Advantages of Union of Territories
 and Their Admission.

A correspondent of the Phoenix Re publican telegraphs that paper the following as being the present situa- tion of the statehood question:
 So far as surface indications showed there was no important developments in the statehood question today. The enemies of the bill still claim that a compromise will be effected along the lines upon which efforts have been di rected for a week-that is, the consol- idation of New Mexico and Arizona as one state, and Oklahoma and Indian territory as one state. There is much difficulty however in getting the peo- ple of Oklahoma and Indian territory lined up together on the compromise proposition. A large majority of the residents of Oklahoma prefer to be ad- mitted separately from the Indian territory, but considerable minority comprising the democratic leaders of the territory wish the Indian territory included.
 The republican leaders who are at tempting to engineer the compromise are between two fires. They wish to please Oklahoma republicans, but they recognize that to command the support of the democratic senators they must include the Indian terri tory, which would make the new state overwhelmingly democratic. It is figured that the two proposed states from these four territories would be stand of, politically, Oklahoma be- ing democratic and Arizona republi- can.
 One prominent republican senator who has been a staunch supporter of the omnibus bill, but who would not permit me to use his name, said to- day: "I cannot understand why the people of Arizona should be so bitter ly opposed to consolidation with New Mexico. Surely they do not under stand the proposition clearly. Our opponents propose to admit the two territories as one state under the name of Arizona. In this it seems to me the people of Arizona would get the best of the bargain, for the new state would be Arizona and net New Mexi co. In reality, Arizona would absorb New Mexico, rather than the contrary. It amounts to the enlargement of Ari- zona's boundaries and giving her statehood. In addition to that, it is conceded that Arizona has the most progressive class of citizens. From my knowledge of the American char acter I am confident that these Ari- zona people would dominate in the affairs of the new state. No other re- suit would be possible, for Americans always lead. However," he conclud- ed, "I am for the omnibus bill to the last, so long as Senator Quay is for that bill, and no other"
 It should not be overlooked that Senator Quay has intimate friends in New Mexico, and it is claimed that he has important financial interests there, and the suggested compromise would not be distasteful to him. It is no secret that the representatives of New Mexico are making but per functory fight against the compromise. They would prefer the admission of their territory under the omnibus bill, but they would not be particul arly disappointed should the compro- mise % through.

LTBLEIlC CLUB
Important Meeting of the Board of Directors Held Last
 Night.
The Work of the Club Outlined and Committees Appointed May
 Enlarge Its Scope.

The board of directors of the Pres colt Athletic Club held an important business meeting in the office of Presi dent Julian Willard last night and the work which the club expects to carry on and accomplish was talked over and divided up among several committees which were appointed.
 The first matter for consideration was the securing of lease of the Dougherty hall, which had been se- lected as an ideal place for the gym nasium. The board empowered Presi dent Julian Willard, Secretary E. R. Mcdowell and E.. D. Treadwell to se- cure lease for a term of years on this hall.
 : A committee consisting of the presi dent and secretary was also appointed and empowered to make arrangements to have a complete hot and cold water bath outfit put in just as soon as the lease had been signed up. This will be splendid feature of the organiza- tion. The baths will consist of tub, shower and needle, toilet, wash basins with hot and cold water, and in fact everything pertaining to a first class club room and gymnasium will be provided.
 A list of apparatus for the gym" was gone over and the following selec- tiOns made: Several pairs of dunn bells and Indian clubs, of different weight; exercise machine, trapeze, horizontal bars, parallel bars, punch ing bag. boxing gloves, fencing foils, etc, so there will be such a variety that everybody will be enabled to get just what they want.
 The matter of selecting an instruc- tor or director for the club was laid over for the present.
 There has been some talk of enlarg ing the scope of the club from the original plans to include ladies de- pertinent, and giving them certain days and hours to be devoted to phy- sical training and the use. of the gym nasium.
 It is also suggested to organize a juvenile class for physical instruc- tion.
 The last two suggestions will un- doubtedly meet with hearty approval by the ladies and children, would be we'll patronized and prove big fea- ture and advantage for the club.

DEADLOCK ON BLOOMERS.
A Question Which Agitates the Public
 Mind in Oklahoma.

While struggling for statehood, Oklahoma stands divided over the question: Shall girl students at ter ritorial schools wear bloomersS Gov. Ferguson has thundered, "Nor' and panting rebels in the state normal school have thundered back. "Yes!" As result of the first round, Hon. Mir. Ferguson carries the soubriquet, "Old Mother Hubbard" which en- titles him to place in the annals of slang with "Pitchfork'' Tillman, ''Borax'' Wiley and "Divine Agent" Baer. Late reports indicate that sen- timeut, like the girls skirts, is still divided.
 Fair students have worn bloomers while playing basket ball in the gym nasiaum. Gov. Ferguson has mus tered up his legislative and judiciary dignity to bar the bloomers. He should be upheld in this mandate. Several governors recently have ex- tended their protecting influence over dress reform. There are Jenness Mil lers in executive chairs at Austin and Lincoln. If Texans were compelled to wear evening dress suits at the in augural ball, and if Gov. Mickey con- vinced Nebraska farmers that evening dress should not be worn at all, why should not Gov. Ferguson exercise his executive brain on bloomers in the gymnasium? Oklahoma now has her own Jenness Miller. and if the governor stands pat in dealing with recalcitrant young athletes he can make national record for himself.
 Fergusonian ideas enlighten good folk that discourse upon politics from the cracker box rostrum in the corner grocery. Oklahoma's governor evil dently is bound to cut big figure in morality, even if it is a cipher. In his village of Watongs golf skirts and decollete gowns are tabooed. Guth- rie has no more right to immortality than Watrongs, even if it is the capi- tai.
 It is good to see a pure man in power, one that can detect impro- priety where others are blind. Gov. Ferguson should keep mp his crusade as hundreds of dreadful things survive in Oklahoma. He should expurgate the family Bibles, prohibit judge: from serving liquor over the bar and forbid kitchen tables to go bare leg ged and prevent the sale of open worl garden hose.
 Here's an epitaph for him:
 Old Mother Hubbard
 Put flowers in the cupboard, To terminate horrible rumors;
 He fastened the lock,
 | And he said. "What shock "I've found that all posies are bloom
 ersl"

A FORMER PRESCOTT MAN.

A FORMER PRESCOII MAN.
 A recent issue of the San Francisco Bulletin contains a large double col umn photo of Henry Goldwater, for merly associated with Goldwater & Bros, of Prescott and Phenix, and also gives quite an account of his as sociating himself with W. J. Patio sien, of the we'll known furniture, carpet and drape.. dealer, of San Francisco:
 "A change which involves much money and which will undoubtedly interest, not only the community of San Francisco, but the people of the entire coast, has just been effected by the Pattosien company.
 "Mr. Henry Goldwater has entered into the company with half interest with w. J. PattOsien, assuming the office of treasurer, while W. J. Pat tosien retains his position as president and manager.
 "Pattosien's, as the big store out in the Mission has been familiarity known for years, has grown, like most successful enterprises, from business of Sl0, 900 year to nearly a million a year. What the future will be with the addition of a man of such eXecu- tive ability as Mir. Goldwater pos sesses, coupled with Mir. Pattosien's energy, is predicted to far excel the past.
 Improvements are not only planned but are under way, to the end of plac- ing the concern in the front ranks of furniture, carpets and drapery houses of the country, in both the manufac- turing and retailing branches.
 "The company buyers are already in the eastern trade centers, placing the largest orders that ever came west. This means much for San Francisco and the entire coast, over which the business of this company has already been successfully extended.
 "Mr. Goldwater for a number of years past made great success of the department store business in Phenix and Prescott. Arizona, his business reaching far and wide throughout the territory. He first identified himself with San Francisco by his connection with the starting of Prager's depart ment store A few weeks ago he dis posed of his interest there to associate himself with Mir. W. J. PattOsien.

A KEG FULL OF PENNIES.

While tearing down a building in Richland, Mich, which had been Oc- cupied for the last forty years by A. D. Barnes as a general store. a keg full of wartime pennies was found in a secluded spot in the basement. The keg contained fully 5000 coins, their value being about $500 at the time they were issued, which was when the government was using scrip money, and are the same as were put into cir culation principally by lumber and railway companies to use as change. They have no intrinsic value at the present time except for the copper they contain. Those of date 1863 bear on one side a representation of the Stars and Stripes in relief and on the reverse side: "The American Flag Forever; If Anybody Tears It Down Shoot Him on the Spot" A large number of the pennies issued in 1862 bear on one side portrait of Wash ington, with the words, 'The Union Forever" beneath. On the reverse side are the words, "The Flag of Our Country
