AARON BURR's BIRTHDAY.

One hundred and forty-seven years
ago-Feb. 6, 1756-Aaron Burr was
born at Newark, N. j., son of a distin-
guished father and grandson of iona
than Edwards. He entered the con
tinental army as a private and reached
the rank Of colonel. He was subse-
quently admitted to the bar, and
moved to New York city. In 1871 he
was elected to the United States SEN
ate.
Burr had a genius for political or
ganization, and soon brought his party,
the anti-federalists, into a state of eff
cient discipline. The f~ederalists called
him, with a small number of young
men of his party that gathered about
him, the Little Band. 1t was to his
efforts that the success of his party
in the presidential contest of 1900 was
due. Burr was elected vice president,
serving from 1901 to 1905. The change
of one electoral vote would have made
him president instead of Jefferson.
In 1904 a coalition a arranged be.
tween the New England federalists
who were hopeless of victory in the
south, and Burr's followers. AS a part OF
this scheme Burr vas first nominated
for governor against the candidate OF
the Clintons, the Livingstons and the
Schuylers, the great New York fami
lies, supreme in that state.
Alexander Hamilton's personal eff
forts did much to defeat Burr; the eel
ebrated duel between the two followed
ending, as is well known, in Hamil
tons death. This was the last of Bur
in politics. He was subsequently ar

TERRITORIAL cATTLEMEN.

The cattlemen of New Mexico will
ask for legislation for the better pro-
lection and benefit of the interests of
the industry in which they are en-
gagged, at the hands of the present leg
islative assembly. They say they are
willinS to tax themselves in order to
pay any and every necessary expense
That will give them these results. This
is as fair as it possibly a be. There
fore, the legislation demanded by them
and which will not be detrimental or
interfere with the sheep raising indus
try or any other important industry of
the territory should be enacted by the
assembly. The cattle growing indus
try is very great and a heavy taxpayer
in this territory and is entitled to the
fullest and fairest consideration.

NEW COUNTY.

There is a formidable movement Ia
this county favoring the creation Of a
new county out of the northern por-
tion, the line east and west to be near
Alameda. This city is willing that
such a division should be made. The
county is too large, and If divided the
two counties could conduct their
affairs in q more economical name
The legislation delegation from this
county Is in favor Of the proposed
new county. The bill will be intro
duced this week. The proposed new
county will contain about 1000 people
and have at least s. 1000, 900 taxable
property. The remaining county con.
tanning this city will be the smallest
in area in the territory, will contain
about 1900 people, and have several
millions in taxable property.
II the line dividing the two counties
can be amicably adjusted, which is
probable, there will be no opposition
to the bill. A few years ago an effort
was made to divide the county on the
lines now proposed, but 1t was de
feated. This city will be greatly ben
Gifted by the division.

certain sentimental and historic rea.

ARIZONA AND UTAH BOUNDARY.

Governor Wells, of Utah, has ap-
pointed three commissioners to visit
Phoenix, Arizona, with a view to secur-
ing the cooperation of the legislature
of that territory in an effort to induce
congress to annex to Utah that part of
Arizona which lies north of the Colo
RADIO river.
At present the boundary between
Arizona and Utah crosses the Grand
Canyon of the Colorado river, and thus
throws part of the land lying north of
that river into Arizona, notwithstand-
ing 1t is almost inaccessible from the
south side of the canyon. This land
is of but little value, being barren and
in the main unavailable for agricul-
ture. The streams are small and there
is little of it that can be irrigated.
For jurisdictional purposes it would
much better be attached to Utah, since
owing to it's inability to support sufh-
cient population it will never consti-
tute a county by itself. County officials
must therefore cross from the south to
the north side of the canyon to execute
civil process, to make arrests and to
discharge other official duties in that
section.
The canyon of the Colorado being
both very deep and very steep it is al
most impossible. For this reason the
locality in question must always re-
main isolated from the main part OF
Arizona. Its connection with Utah.
however, is direct, NJ barriers standing
in the way; and officials from that
state could easily enter it and dis.
charge all their duties if it were placed
under Utah's jurisdiction, Its annexa
ton to Utah would involve little or nc
loss to Arizona, whereas it would
clearly define the boundary between
the two jurisdictions.

to transform the color of red hair-a
most grotesque idea, considering the
glowing facts.
Seldom do women with the heart of
the fire on their white brows appear as
the spurned defendants in divorce
cases. Indeed, it is believed by poets
that there is no cure this side OF the

Why auburn hair should be regarded
as common when 1t is rare is one of
the mysteries. Artists and poets re-
gard it as beautiful.
A queen with the molten halo of fiery
tresses would melt the heart of her
subjects.
Some day an opera will take the
country by storm with its gorgeous
galaxy of none but red-haired beauty.
1t would be the hit of the age. The
critics would have deliriun tremens
Of praise over the ravishing Temple
