A Catfish Story.

The catfish in the river are giving
much trouble to sportsmen. according
to Fred Dearborn and others. MIR.
Dearborn last Sunday killed eleven
ducks on Lake Avalon. and five OF
them were pulled under and devoured
by the big fish before he could re-
trive. This story might make a per.
son stretch a little were IL not that
Robert Osborne caught 53-pound
cat In that body OF water Sunday. and
specimens weighing 80 pounds or 30
are so common as TO attract little at.
tention. The fish are SO hungry that
they will eat anything and large
enough to swallow a teal in a couple
OK bites.-Carlsbad Argus.

THEY FAVOR STATEHOOD.
ASSURANCE OF SUPPORT.

A special dispatch TO the Denver
News from Phoenix. Arizona, dated
October 10, says:
The trip OF investigation OF Hearst's
congressional party which has lust
toured Arizona, marks an epoch In
the growth of this territory from
which future achievements will date.
This Is the unanimous vote OF Arizona
whose people are keenly appreclative
OF the generous impulses and desire
for fair play that actuated Mr.. VIII.
lam Randolph Hearst when he brought
party of distinguished law makers
To enable them to see for themselves
the actUaiities of the territory. The
territory was broadly slandered upon
It's industries, its resources and its
commonwealth when, for political pur-
poses, its prayer for admission was de-
MED.
The visitors who came predisposed
to the claims OF Arizona found condi-
lions which justified their most san
guine views of the capacity OF Arizona
for self government Those of the
party whose convictions were not set.
tied left this territory impressed with
the injustice which had been done. In
MI. Hearst is recognized now the
most powerful champion for statehood
and industrial advancement that Arr.
iona or the other territories have
known. ana II Is expected that the
campaign of education which he has
inaugurated will preclude the posi-.
billy OF uniting Arizona with New
Mexico in creation of one state. whose
government would of necessity be
clumsy and generally undesirable, at
least in Arizona
Arizona has repeatedly expressed Il.

ing the proposed consolidation OF the
two territories. She would prefer to
remain territory indefinitely rather
than unite her fortune with a TERRITORY
whose interests are strangely con-
trasted.
Should the congressional visit re-
suit simply in delivering the south
western territories from consolidation
the people will perpetuate the obliga.
ton which they now feel toward the
young newspaper man Another
strong feature Of Hearsts coup de
maitre Is the ines Unable benefit which
Arizona viii derive through having
It's Industries and resources placed
fairly before the American people
through one OF the most powerful
press organizations of the country.
The tour of investigation is almost
co'ncident with the dawn OF new
and important irrigation and mining
era and the inducements from immi.
grafton and inarx OF capital are being
pictured abroad at the most opportun.
time possible.
The congressional investiga don has
been characterized through e., as non
partisan and the prominent people OF
the territory, representing the highest
social phases and all political organi-
cations. have welcomed the advent OF
Mr. Hearst into Arizona with open
arms. The territorial press as a
unit has expressed its gratitude and
local statesmen hasten to acxnowl.
cage the debt n interviews which
have been given TO the press.

PASS OUT MEXICAN COIN,
New Scheme Alleged to Be Worked
BY Dishoneot scaipers.

A new scheme tor swindling pur.
cnasers OF tickets appears to have
been adopted lately by so-called float
ing brokers'" who make II a practice
OF moving about from city to city. Ac.
cording to Chairman Macleod of the
Western Passenger association, the
scheme Is as follows:
The broker opens a shop In n city
where there are good many excur-
sionists coming In. He usually has
some correspondent in Mexico or
some bank that handles Mexican mon
ey, and through this method obtains
$500 or $500 worth OF Mexican mon
ely, which he secures for so cents on
a dollar or even a shade less, and
when the farmer or sucker" as he
Is called, comes into the office TO buy
a ticket he gives him this money in
change.
For Instance. II handed $40 bill
the scalper would give the purchaser
of the ticket seven Mexican dollars In
the change. placing the American
money on top.
This scheme, II is claimed, has heeu
worked successfully In Chicago lately,
and is now being worked by two bro
kers in Kansas City.

until a little while ago notices were

he was not willing to do, and the
