A CALIFORNIA TRAGEDY
Henry (. ROemer Shielded After At-
 tempting to kIli His Wife.

Henry c. Roemer. of Downey, Cal
 attempted to murder his wife and ther committed suicide, in front of the l Arcade depot, in Los Angeles, on the afternoon of November l0 He fired two bullets into his wife's body, the first passing through the arm above the elbow and blowing furrow in the woman's left breast, and the sec. ond shot taking effect in the left jaw, the bullet coming out at the rear of the neck. Neither wound was conSid- cred dangerous. Roemer was conSid- cred the crack pistol shot of sou thern California, and that he failed to kill his wife is attributed to his frenzied condition. When he turned the weap- on on himself his aim was truer, as the bullet entered his breast near the heart and was immediately fatal.
 The reason assigned for the tragedy is jealousy on the part of Henry Roe mer aroused by the attentions to his wife by his brother, Frank Roemer, an eX-conyict.
 Henry ROemer and his wife had Quarreled repeatedly, and fearing bod fly iujnry, on Thursday she took her two little girls, aged, respectively, six and four years, and boarded the train for Los Angeles, intending to go to the home of her father, II. L. Miller, at S2O West Ninth street. ROemer, who had been drinking heavily. board ed the same train, and tried to enter into conversation with her, but she refused to talk Arriving at the Ar cade depot, Mrs. ROemer, with her two children, and Mrs. Neighbors, friend, alighted, and started toward d Third street car, when Roemer ap. preached and being again repulsed by his wife, he shot her.
 Roemer had conducte barbershop for two years in the DOwney hotel. Prior tO that time he was d constable in Downey. He was 36 years of age.
 It Is stated that at one time Mrs. R1emer became mentally unbalanced and was sent to the Highland asylum, from which she was released about six months ago.
 The account of the tragedy is of in- tereSt tO Oldtimers here, most of whom were acquinted with Henry Roemer, who lived in Globe in 1885. He was then ayOung man of pleasing appear aace and demeanor He was a nephew of Prank Biggeleben, who is still a resident uf Globe.

It is fact, as suggested by an ex, change, that a great deal of effort is wasted by the newspapers of Arizona Id the discussion of politics and chiefly in the advocacy of statehood, effort which would return substantial benefit if directed toward the advertising of Arizona's unsurpassed resources, and the bringing iu of capital and a desir- able class of settlers to aid in the de- velopment of our mineral resources and the building up of our varied in. dustries. The newspapers have devoted mnch time and space to boosting the politicians, and rarely, if ever, have they been recompensed, for che poll tician, as q rule, is the most uugrate. tul being that encumbers the earth Admitting that statehood is desirable. there Is absolutely no possibility of opr achieving it before the next presiden. tial election.

CEMENT TRUSTS INTRUSION

The demand made by the cement
 trust that the government abandon its
 intention of making cement iu conuec-
 tion with the Sat river reservoir Is one
 of the most remarkable exhibitions of
 etfrontery that has ever come to our
 notice Messrs. Stone and Henshaw.
 representing the trust, or, as they are pleased to call it, the as ,ociation of manufacturers, demanded of Secretary
 Hitchcock the privilege of furnishing the cement for the dam, and iutimated that the republican party would suffer If the geological survey was permitted to proceed with its plan of mAnufactur. ing the cement required at the damsite.
 The dispatch states that Mir Stone presented five reasons why the govern ment should not enter into competition with the cement trus', as follows
 First - The government cannot make cement at the site as proposed
 "S5cond-If 1t makes cement there as planned it will be of inferior quality.
 "Third--If cement should be manu- factured there successfully, it would be the means of destroying the cement industry of the country, as wide awake people would bs certain to go into the manufacture of cement and thereby cheapen the cost of the product.
 "Fourth-It would be illegal for the government to manufacture ce- ment.
 "Fiith-If 1t should tarn out to be . legal the cement trust would under. take to get bill through congress making it illegal for the government to engage iu such an industry"
 It is a matter of some surprise that the iasolent remarks of Mr. Stone, above quoted, did not provoke de. termined protest from Secretary Hitch. cock. Had the trust agents been fired bodily from the department the treat. ment would have been none too yigor. ous. It IS certainly matter of regret that the secretary would coudescend to listen to them, and surprising, indeed. that he should grant them q further conference
 However, there is no probability that the proposals of the cement manu. lecturers will receive any serious con sideration from the department, espec- tally since the contracts for the ma. 'hinery and bindings have already been made and proposals for their hauling from Globe to the damsite have bee received, as Engineer Arthur P. Davis pas stated
 Even under the most favorable con iitions possible the cost of the con 'truction of the great Salt river works will be very heavy, and the govern nent owes it to the landowners of Salt liver valley, who will eventually have o pay back every dollar expended, to exercise judicious economy in every part of the work Any interference y private interests seeking gain can lot be tolerated.

THANK SOWING

Exactly one hundred and twenty.six years ago on Thursday, November 26, 1777-in accordance with the proc. amation of President Washington, the lay was celebrated as Thanksgiving or the recent victory at Saratoga. Since that time, the beautiful custom las grown up of setting the fourth Thursday of November of each year ,psrt tor the remembrance and com nemorstion of the beneices of which ve as people have been the recipi- ,nts. In the many family gatherings III over the land today the people will De imbued with the spirit of the day he spirit of thankfulness, joy and peace.
 Many, very many, there are over whose homes within the past year the angel of death has fingered, and there Ire very many others who have been bowed down by affliction and disap- oointment. But 1t is the lesson of this lay that all things are ordered for the pest by the All-Wise, and in this cheer ng belief even those to whom the rear now closing has been dark rather han roseate, may find much consola- ion and be truly thankful for the bles. Iings of life and the measure of health which they enjoy.
 The nature of Thanksgiving has hanged greatly since the time of the Pilgrim Fathers. They, on the edge | # the New England wilderness, first observed day of thanks. The orig nal intent has not been lost, however nuch the character and extent of ob. eryance has changed, nor will it be SO ong as man realizes his dependence ,pon a higher power. Where hand ul of devout .worshippers met in 1891, odsy thousands of churches throw pen wide their doors for hundreds of thousands of thankful Americans.
 The sweeter and holier influence of he day still adheres in its commemo- ation, and while human nature has its mutations and is subject to failings, nd our complex population is made p of widely varying elements. We nay yet remember that the nation it. elf has prospered greatly Tn the year nat is past, and that We all share in s greatness and are benefcisries. to reater or less extent individually, of 8 good fortune. Our territory, county and town, ach and all, have prospered since la,t thanksgiving day. and we cannot but ,el that the Giver of All Good Gifts as showered his blessings upon u e | eople of Arizona, Gila county and I lobe with a lavish hand. c

A Splendid Advertisement

Governor Brodie of Arizona believes in embracing opportunities. He has even adhered to this creed in the face of opposing orders from President
 Roosevelt. The president, whose lit- erary qualifications rank him among the pureSt of American writers, be- lleves that breYity is an essential in all writing, and issued instructions to the departments of the government that annual reports and other docu- ments of like character be made as brief as possible. Therein, according tO Rooseyelts views. lies their great est power and their greatest value. His injunction iS entirely compatible with the tenets of rhetorical law, but Governor BrJdie holds another view. lis report tO the interior department IS the longest ever submitted by any territorial governor. It contains quarter of d million words, filing .270 pages of tine print, and is considered by government officials as splendid advertisement foreyery thing connect ed with the territory, copper included. No feature has been overlooked - Mining Gazette.
