MANUAL TRAINING SCHOOL.

The Phenix Republican in very able and sensible article comes out strongly in favor of the manual train ing school for Prescott by saying:
 "There is much than can be said in favor of the pending bills providing for manual training and preparatory collegiate schools at different points in the territory. Especially meritor- ious is the measure providing for such a school at Prescott, Yavapai, one of the largest and most populous subdi- visions of the territory, is one of the heaviest contributors to the territory treasury, and there is not territorial institution in that county.
 "The question, however, takes on broader significance than a mere pro- posal to deal justly with the commun- ities which are heavy contributors of taxes. In order that the territorial university may become the great uni versity which every loyal AriZonan wishes it to be, it is necessary that there be more preparatory schools. And most important of all, perhaps, is the manual training feature con- nected with the proposed institution. The best capital a young man or a young woman can possibly have, in addition to a good general education, is training such as can be had only in a good school of technology. And now is an excellent time to lay the foundations for giving such training to Arizona youth in Arizona.
 There seems to be a misapprehension on the part of many of our citizens in regard to the provisions of this bill It has been charged that the bill pro- vides for the city swapping" the old city hall school building to the terri tory for 5000. Such is not the case. and in fact the city, or school dis trict does not part from the title to that building under the law, except that the use is given of it for the pro- posed collegiate and manual training school. The territory appropriates sl0, 600 for remodeling the building and for furnishing it for the purposes intended and thereafter is to provide 5S0O0 annually for its maintenance The school is intended to take pupils from the eighth grade of the public schools and prepare them for admis- sion to the colleges of the country, the manual training department being a feature of the school. It will bt an important institution for Prescott and one which should receive the sup port of every citizen of Prescott.

DWELL MONUMENT DEFEATED.

The council by a vote of eight to
 four yesterday defeated the bill pro
 viding for an appropriation of sl0, ,OOU
 for the erection of a monument to the
 late Buckley O'Neill. Of course no
 citizen of Prescott would oppose the
 spending of that amount of money in
 Prescott by the territory for such a
 monument but really no argument
 could be advanced for the erection of a monument to any single individual.
 If the territory were we'll fixed fnan-
 cially it would be a handsome and
 sentimental thing for it to erect a
 monument in memory of all the rough riders who went to Cuba, and who lost their lives in battle there. Ari- zona furnished the first troops under the call issued by President McKin-
 ley, and every AriZonan should be proud of it, and a monument chronic
 ling these facts would be an appro-
 priate tribute to leave for future gen erations. There is one thing however which every man must admire, in connection with this monument move, and that is the unfaltering devotion of M. J. Hickey, to his dead friend. and the persistency with which he presents the subject to the legislatures of the territory. In future years no doubt such monument will be built -one which will embrace every brave boy who volunteered to fight in the Spanish American war. When the
 ime does come, when the territory or future state, as the case may be, de- cides to erect such a monument, Pres colt is the place where it should be erected. as it was here that the first company was enlisted, and it was from here that the troopers took their
 eparture. for the scene of war. The jrave "Bucky'' O'NeilI was among he first to offer his services. and 4 4nong the first to lay down his life No braver or more daring man entered the Cuban campaign from any state or territory, and when the time shall come when the territory is willing to commemorate the achievements of its dead heroes by erecting a monument To their memory, his name will Occu- py a most prominent place on it, as it now does in the hearts of the people | of Arizona.

According to United States Consul McWade, at Canton, China, it has remained for an American physician, pr. Adolph Razlag, to discover a means of curing and exterminating leprosy. In report to the state de- partment, the consul states that won- derful success has attended the efforts of this physician and his work has at tracted the attention of the highest Manchu and Chinese officials This work began in June, 1902, in leper village six miles distant from Canton. Of four cases treated three have been discharged completely cured and the last is making a practical recovery. The physician urges strongly the adoption of his methods for the treat ment of lepers in the Philippines and in Hawaii. The main feature of the treatment, which is shown in detail in the consul's report, appear to consist of minute and prolonged sanitation and the use of highly antiseptic drugs.

BURNED MILLINERY
An Early Evening Fire Thursday Destroys Mrs. Blaine's Dry
 Goods Store.
Origin of the Fire Is Aystery-fire Department Scores Another
 Good Record.

A fire was discovered about ' o'clock last evening issuing from the building occupied by Mrs. R. R. Blaine as a residence and dry goods and millinery store. An alarm brought the department out to the scene promptly, although it was the first fire alarm that has been given in the town for months.
 The fire started in the rear of the building, or in the residence part of the building and had made consider able progress before being discovered. The promptness with which the de- partment reached the place together with the efficIency displayed by them, soon had the blaze under control al though it had worked its way up into the attic of the building and it took nearly an hour to completely extin- guish it.
 Mrs. Blaine went to Jerome on Wednesday morning and the store was closed since that time and 1t is stated that there was no one occupying the residence part of the building, so that the origin of the fire is a mystery. While the building was saved from to- tai destruction it is stated that the contents will prove almost total loss. ! One sewing machine and few minor articles were saved.
 One rumor of the origin of the fire is that an attempt was made to rob it and the thieves set it on fire. From the fact that it was not yet dark, this theory is probably not correct, and |. probably started from the fact that |. some parties attempted to loot the l. place while it was burning. One man was intercepted while making way with an armful of goods, included in | the lot being choice lot of millinery | hats of the very latest spring styles.
 The fire department under its eff | cient chief, A. A. Johns, came in for . much complimentary mention for the | good work done by its members in . preventing the spread of the flames.
 On account of the absence from the . city of Mrs. Blaine. no estimate of the . loss could be secured. nor could any information be obtained as to the amount of insurance if any on the place.

Governor Brodie veto of the wom- an suffrage bill was based exclusively on legal grounds. The veto is quite lengthy in which much law and many decisions are quoted and the whole thing is summed up in the closing para graph as follows: gro my mind then, it is clear that it was the intention of congress to limit the elective fran chise to male citizens; that the terri torial legislature receives its powers to legislate from congress, and that the legislature in enacting House Bill No. Sl into law, legislated upon a subject not consistent with the consti- tuition of the United States"

One of the arguments used by a Tucson paper against the annexation of New Mexico to Arizona was that it would deprive Arizona of home rule. Arizona with those people down there means from Phenix south. The only home rule this section of the territory experiences at present is the privilege of paying taxes into the territorial treasury to build public institutions in the southern part, and to maintain them. Northern Arizona could not by any possible means be in any worse condition of vassalage, even under New Mexican rule than it is at pres ent to our southern neghbors.

Some of the people of Yavapai coun- ty may learn in the course of time, if they profit by experience, and absorb little information at each session of the legislature, that having New Mex ico attached to Arizona would not be SO much greater calamity than to be held up every two years by members of the legislature from Southern Ari- zona to build territorial institutions for which the territory has no use This thing has been going on for years. With New Mexico and Arizona IS one state and the capital at Albu- querque or Santa Fe, northern Ari- zona would stand some show of mak- ing combinations to protect herself from this ''stand and deliver" game which has been played on her for the past fifteen years.

TEXAS CONDUCTOR.
How He Lost Costly Diamond-An
 Experience of Value.

The following good joke on Texas railroad conductor is related in the Galveston Times:
 There are some few rilroaads in this country on which it is considered quite the right thing for conductors on passenger trains to supplement the earnings of their legitimate trade by a little money Ion the side" made from change passengers. Such a road IS the Texas and Pacific, for instance It Is quite a common saying that the road pays its dividends to its conduct ors. It quite frequently happens that after few months of service on the road conductor has made a nice lit tie sum of money through complac- ency in the matter of issuing the reg ular tickets when he collects fares.
 The road is in the habit of sending out inspectors every now and then to get an eye on the conductors who do these things. The coming of this in- spector is generally we'll known. It happened one time that Jim Reilly, conductor on No. 3, west bound, bought for himself diamond ring. such as conductors love. It was a handsome bit of jewelry, and it cost MT. Reilly s10O. He wore it con stantly.
 The inspector on his travels got into conversation with MT. Reilly. He had offered to buy his fare, and had been firmly told that the company had a rule about "excess charges'' which excess would be duly returned on presentation of the slip which the conductor gave him. They talked 
 ''That's pretty nice ring you're wearin'," said the inspector.
 Now, at that great fear took hold of MT. Reilly. He knew the gentle man for what he was. He knew, too, that an admission concerning that ring would be liable to attract some for the wages of conductors are not princely. Therefore he lied.
 Looks pretty, but it ain't much. liked the looks of it. I'll let you have it for 8. That's better than l paid"
 "I'll take it." said the stranger, diving down into his pockets. He eyed the conductor closely the while.
 Jim Reilly was not a very bright man. He pulled off the ring and handed it over. After that he went on his way down the car, and he en- joyed immensely the task of kicking a tramp of the front platform of the baggage car into the middle of Tex as- Ordinarily he was careful never to visit the front end of that baggage ear.
 He never mentioned that ring to | any one. But about month after | the occurrence he got the ring back. | It came by registered mail and in the box was a slip of paper with these words:
 "You're not sharp enough to do much harm."

The legislature is ended. With the exception of the passage of the Cowan bill not a single promise made in the democratic platform was redeemed. A half way eight hour law was passed but it did not reach the men it was intended to reach. The mine inspect or bill, the freight and fare bill, anti
 black list, tax exemption repeal, all went. by the board, while three new tax exemption bills were added to the statute. No one is surprised at the result though, except the dupes who were inveigled into voting the demo
 cratic ticket under the promises made

IMPORTANT
 ENTERPRISE
A Thirty Thousand Dollar Wagon Road Will Be Built to
 Fossil Creek.
Arizona Power Company Will Begin Construction Work at Once on
 Its Power Plant

The passage by the council last Fri day of the bill exempting the Arizona Power company from taxation is of great importance to this section of Arizona.
 Mrs. Tut, who is the promoter of this enterprise as we'll as one of the principal owners of it, was in Phenix when the bill passed the council and in the course of a conversation with the Journal Miner editor stated that work will be commenced at once and pushed to completion just as soon as possible.
 The power plants will be located on Fossil creek, about fifty seven miles from Prescott. The machinery required for these plants will of nec- essity be very heavy and Mrs. Tut stated that the first work the company will have to do is the construction of a wagon road from Mayer to Fossil creek, distance of forty miles, the cost of which will be not less than 80, 900. The route for this road has been selected with a view of securing the lowest possible grade and will be expensive, in proportion to the mini mum grade secured. Not only will this road be necessary, but it will also be necessary to have special wagons or trucks constructed for the trans portation of the machinery.
 This road of itself will be of great benefit to this county as that section of the county is practically isolated now and without any means of com munication with Prescott. Mrs. Tut also stated that with very slight ex- pense wagon road could be built to connect with the road of the company, which would make a considerable sec- tion of country tributary to Prescott, the business from which now goes to Flagstaff
 Important though as this wagon road will prove, it is the least important feature of the enterprise, the great benefit to be derived being the cleo tric power which the company will furnish for mining, lighting and other purposes.
 Mrs. Tut says she expects to have the plant completed and ready for operation within a year.
