We bought mule colt few days
ago that has developed into wonder.
We saw it pulling q wild hair out Of its
eye and walked up to congratulate il
as an occulist, when it gave an exhibit
tion of its dental ability by extracting
a filling from one of our front teeth
without injuring the enamel. We
bought the mule to use as an alarm
clock and it fills the bill completely,
but we have not discovered how to sci
the darn thing.

THE INSANE ASYLUM.

The bill introduced by Speaker Rom ero in the lower house of the Arizona legislature to create a bonded debt of s1O000 to be applied at the rate of S20.000 per annum to build additions to and otherwise improve the territo- rial insane asylum at Phoenix should not be passed. It is a piece of un- warranted extravaganza. The intense heat which prevails in the Salt river valley duting the summer makes it a very undesirable place for that worthy and necessary institution. If hundred thousand dollars is to be expended on the Arizona insane asylum, the Re view suggests that a new and more humane location be selected and an entirely new building be erected and the old one sold for what it will bring.

THE PIONEER SOCIETY.

A correspondent writing to the Ari- zona Bulletin from Tucson says:
 Everybody in Tucson is in favor of statehood, except the Star an oc- casional pioneer who follow the lead of the Star. Many of the progres- sive citizens of Tucson are chagrine6 and out of patience with the members of the Arizona Pioneer Society, who held a meeting about the time the Beveridge senatorial committee ar rived in Arizona and passed resolu- tions condemning the omnibus state hood bill because of the apportion- ment carried by it for the constitu- tional convention. The action was taken by a dozen men notwithstanding the well known fact that ninety nine per cent of the citizens of Tucson and the entire territory were begging for the passage of the omnibus bill and putting forth their best efforts to se- cure this result The Arizona Pioneer Society is supposed to be a historical society and as such it has received aid and patronage from the people of Arizona, but when its good purposes are abandoned and the society is used to hurt and misrepresent Arizona, then there can only be one opinion and that is that the Arizona Pioneer Society has outlived it's usefulness and should be disbanded and the people of Ari- zona should enter a determined pro test against any further assistance be- ing granted it by an Arizona legisla- ture"

Mark Smith will soon complete his present congressional term. The peo- pie of Arizona should extend a recep- tion to this faithful public servant when he returns to Arizona. He has made great fight for statehood and win or lose, he has won the everlasting gratitude of his constituents. The re- ception should be made territorial affair and should be pulled of in Tue son, where the Editor of the Daily Star would have a good opportunity to ob- serve its proportions The Review suggests that the members of the leg islature, regardless of politics, take the initiative in this matter and that the newspapers of the territory carry it to a grand success.

THE ABANDONMENT OF FORT GRANT.

The order for the removal of troops from Fort Grant to Fort Huachuca and the abandonment of Grant as a mill tary post, will be a serious injury to the Gila valley, from which it received hay, grain and other forage supplies. Fort Grant has accommodated many military officers who have attained prominence. Shafter, Lawton and Chaffee, each in turn were, years ago, stationed at Fort Grant, which was for many years headquarters for some regiments. The policy of the war de partment is to concentrate the troops into larger posts. It is claimed that the water supply at Fort Grant is mad , equate, but this claim is very likely only an excuse given out idly, as Fort Grant is located on the south side o the Graham mountains, where watei is known to be in abundance and of l; superior quality.
 \The Apache Indians seems now [, be considered by the government a having reached a state Of peace an industry, which no longer requires tn
 surveillance of the military. This

as for years now they have given ne trouble.
 The rapid growth of the mining camps surrounding the Gila valley will supply additional market for its prod ucts. The time was once when the military posts in Arizona constituted about the only market for agricultural products in this territory, but the ad, vancement of the mineral industry and the growth of populous mining towns has rendered what military posts there are remaining as of small consequence in the consumption of agricultural pro ducts.

The New Mexico legislature is lend ing encouragement to Senator Quay. The legislature passed bill this week creating a new county in that territory and named it Quay county. If Senator Quay is successful with the omnibus bill at least two-thirds of the boys born in Arizona this year should be named after him, in fact, the name of Quay should become as common in Arizona and New Mexico as that of Hannah in Dixie land.

It is to. be hoped that no further inn provements will be made on the terri torial insane asylum, so long as it re- mains in the Salt river valley.

an interview in which he declared that
the sultan Of Turkey and the Bulgarian
government were both opposed to war,
but the situation was worse than at

OF the prisoners at Salonika had been
released, 400 fresh arrests had been
made and 5000 refugees had arrived
at Adrianople.
The aim Of the Turks, the premier is
reported as saying. is the extermina-
ton Of the Bulgarians in Macedonia
by methods scarcely short of massacre.
The high officers In Turkey, he says,
are promoting the war movement. NJ.

contempt for the Turkish army. He
says It cannot mobilize inside Of two
