MAGNIFICENT ENTERPRISE.
Wonderful Hot Springs at Aeua Cal

lehte, Near NaCoZdri.
 What Bisbee has needed since Ger onimo was in kits was a fiist-class resort, within easy distance of the smoky city, where its business popula- tion could gather and, throwing the cares of life aslde for short period, next to dear old nature as from her bounteous apron she scatters great handful of health, hapipness and longevity all about her. Such place in the near future vii be the great Agua Caliente Springs, in northern Sonora. E. L. Benton, familiarly known as Lee" since severing his ger, has bought these wonderful springs, including surrounding land amounting to about 100 acres.
 He will immediately proceed to place the necessary improvements on the premises. including frst-class bath houses, and a hotel, along with every feature than can minister to tired persons comfort.
 Along with elegant improvements and luxurious surroundings one of his -op cares will be the finest and most irresistible table accommodations in the land The springs afford water sufficient to irrigate the fine body of saLey land auJoining it, and every variety of garden sass" known to the 4picuIe, along with fresh milk, butter and eggs, will be piled up in front of the hungry guest, while rheumatism iees to the low lands, dyspepsia takes to the hills and old people are mace over while they wait.
 The springs are eighteen miles east of Lucky Tiger Siding, on the Nacozari railroad, and about four miles from the Yaqui river, where glorious fishing can be had all the year round. The sur rounding country is grandly wild and rugged, affording rare opportunity for those who care to hunt or prospect. The springs themselves number about fifteen, and occupy a moderately ele- vated mesa, reached by an easy grade and a pleasant wax of a quarter of nile from the cultivated valley below, where shade and flowers and en- trancing scenery make life worth liv- ng The water is not only warm, but HOT, and one can obtain any temper .ture desired. The Review repre- sentative has visited the spot and scrubbed off several layers of fiue dust among the numerous gushers compris- ing the Agua Caliente springs. Inc water contains several chemical prop critics, rendering it soft and highly beneficial in every respect, while careful analysis shows nothing delete rious The abundance and purity of
 he water is remarkable, and every condition surrounding the new resort contributes to making it the finest, most accessible and delightful spot in either northern Mexico or Arizona. Horses and conveyances will be at hand for the accommodation of guests desiring to raGiate from the springs irto the wonderful country surround ing. MT. and Mrs. John Foster, who are interested in the splendid enter prise, will manage the feasting opera tions, which is sure guar antee of heir superior character.
 Lee Benton's army of friends in Ari- zona and Mexico are delighted to see him take hold of this enterprise, which cannot fail to be roaring success un- der his able and popular management.

In all cities there is scarcity of
good stenographers. There are many
idle who cannot spell or punctuate
and who are otherwise careless, but
the kind of stenographers business
men want are very few. 1t is surpris-
ing that more young people do not
prepare for this work for the salaries

promotion is sure where merit is
shown. 1t is true that thousands of
young people learn shorthand and
typewriting, but promotions Of young

The Huntington Business Univer-
sity at Huntington Ind, which is re-
garded by employers of help as the
most thorough in its training and
which also fills more positions OF this
kind than any other business school in
the state has been unable to fill more
than half the calls it has for steno-
graphers.
This school enrolls a very intelli-
gent and industrious class of pupils
and employs high grade teachers, and
the work done there is superior in
every way. Expenses. however, are
very low. Board, room, tuition and
books for stenography course cost
less than $50. Many students reduce
this greatly by working there to earn
part of their expenses.

much valuable information on the
subject by writing O. E. Hawkins,

Nearly Sixty Years.

The Chicago city directory of 1874
put the population OF that city at
5000. ]. w. Norris, It's compiler, in
bis introduction declares:
GA glance at her geographical posi-
tion will convince the most Skeptical
that Chicago is out the nucleus about
which is destined to grow up at no
remote period one of the most impor-
tant commercial towns in the west. {"
And after enumerating some of the
advantages ofthe position he adds:
The commercial interests, then of
the east, and especially of the great
valley of the west, will be intimately
connected with Chicago as place of
transhipment and deposit, and the
value and amount of trade in produce,
in lumber, salt, and In every descrip-
tion OF merchandise which will center
here is beyond our present powers of
computation and can only be meas

himself the laughing stock of many
people. Behold the condition Of
things now! Chicago the third city of

save the undertaken and the grave

kept secret. Not even a member Of

A Great Western Centenary.

On Monday Chicago began its six
days. celebration of the hundredth an
niverSary Of the life of that commun-
ity. OF course, Chicago is not a Gen.
tury old, or anything like it. 1t was
in July, 1903, however, that detach-
ment of soldiers under command of
Maj. Whistler started to erect Fort
Dearborn, named In honor Of the Sec
rotary of war. on the Chicago river.
But there was no such place as Cbica-
go in 1903 or for many years after
ward. When the town Of Chicago,
bounded by State, Madison, Desplaines
and Kinzie streets, was laid out and
plated, in 1880, there were only
thirty or forty persons on the site. ex-
elusive of the soldiers in the vicinity
Chicago had only 44O0 Inhabitants in
1910, 30, 900 in 1850 and 1O9. 900 in
1860. This hundred-year cycle which
Chicago claims, and which is to be
celebrated by many sorts of festivities
in the next few days, is for spectacu-
lar purposes only. The year 1880 will
be Chicago's real centenary, and
doubtless will be appropriately cele-
brated when it comes.
In many respects Chicago is the
most marvellous city ever built. AL
though, as community, it is but
seventy three years of age, and has
been hit by panics and CONGREGATIONS,
one Of the latter being the most de-
structiye in its line which the world
has seen, it has today more than o.

The Canadian government has asked
parliament to appropriate the sum OF
$3.50, 900 to pay the expense OF a'thor-
ough survey Of Hudson bay. After
the survey is completed Cadada will
declare its sovereignty over the body
Of water and. of course, will establish
rules for its navigation.
In the press announcement of this
action Hudson bay is described as
1.-THE third largest sea in the world. u
This is inaccurate, as the Mediter-
ranean, Behring sea, the China sea,
the Sea of Okhotsk, the Arabian sea
and the Gulf of Mexico, with perhaps
other loosely named bodies of water,
have superficial areas greater than
that of Hudson bay. Instead of the
third sea it is the eighth or ninth in
magnitude.
On the other hand, it is the largest
inland body of water in the world
the shores of which are under
the jurisdiction Of a single power, All
the other large seas are surrounded
by different powers and their waters
are as open to international naviga-
tion as the outer oceans. The an
n0uncement is made that the action
of Canada in sequestering Hudson bay
from free navigation will be matter
Of absorbing interest to the United
States.
1t is difficult to see why the United
State should have superior interest
in Hudson bay any more than in any
other substantially land-locked body
of water surrounded by the territory
of another power. 1t is of no particu-
lar importance to Canada that the
United States control Lake Michigan
and it is of no particular importance
to the United States what conditions
Of control Canada may establish over
Hudson bay.-Chicago Chronicle.

to the demands Of the w. G. T. U,

who shoots down men because be be-
lieyes they ought to be shot and re-
fuses to obey laws because they do not
