automobile owners Of 1904 machines
will not have to put up with; so many
petty annoyances. More power is one
Of the demands for 1904 and big ma
chimes will be in greater evidence.
Need More Floor Space.
Several Of the local automobile
companies have added to their floor
space this year, and two companies
will have buildings built purposely for
taking care of a big automobile bust
ness. Automobiles have come to stay:
There Is no question about this. They
are not fad, and they are not to be
put aside after a seasons use. Every
man who owns an automobile Is an
automobile enthusiast. He thinks more
of his machine than he ever did OF
any horse in his possession. He can
travel across the country at q two
minute clip and can enjoy every min
ute of his ride. Last season automo-
biles were very popular at Lake Min
netonka, and they were used not only
for pleasure rides around the lake but
for transportation purposes to and
from the city. This year there are to
be more autos than ever at the lake.
A big field is open to automobile
dealers in the matter Of delivery and
truck wagons. In Chicago, New York
! and other~big cities horses have passed
{ out Of existence with many big re-
| tailers, wholesalers and manufactur
ers. It is not uncommon in New York
| for a firm to have forty or fifty ma
chimes in their employ, and big auto
trucks for heavy hauling are very
| common. It is only matter Of time
! when many Of these big machines will
be used for business purposes in Min
neapolis. :.
You cannot find an old dealer in
MINNEAPOLIS who does not expect tC
| sell twice as many machines this year
| as he did last. There are hundreds OF
prospective purchasers in this vicinity
and it is safe to say that the number
Of buyers will be doubled over last
| year. ,s

Haynes-Apperson.

Automobile history records the
Haynes-Apperson as the, pioneers in
automobile construction in America.
For about four. years Elwood
Haynes laboredS with the perplexing
problems Of producing a horseless
carriage. In 1898 success crowned
his labors and a company was formed
for their manufacture.
The strong feature Of the Haynes
Apperson car has always been dura-
bility.
The Hayes-Apperson car has been
entered in seventeen different contests,
with the result that they have re-
ceived as many first prize certificates.
They have established a Minneapo-
lis agency under the management of
L. E. Parker, who at present is max
ing his headquarters at 213 Pillsbury
building. DIR. G. e. Dutton is inter-
ested with Mr.. Parker in the local
agency. Last year they were handi-
capped because of their being unable
to secure even sample machine until
late in August.

Knox Cars Arrive.

W. e. Wheeler of the Northwestern
Motor Vehicle company, rear lie
South Sixth street, announces the ar
rival of two carloads of canopy-topped
Knox touring cars. They are on exhi-
bition at their repository. These cars
are without question some Of the best
machines ever brought to this city.
In designing these Knox cars, how
ever, the first consideration has been
<*rehability.' More than 1000 now in
use bear witness to the success Of their
efforts. No long list of changes has
been made in this machine over the
1903 model, which would Indicate that
the Knox has passed the experimental
stage. The changes are trifiing. No
radical changes were needed. In the

New MexicO'S Governor on Joint State.
 heed Bill.

Governor Otero, Of New Mexico, who has recently returned from Wash ington and New York, speaking on the question of joint statehood, said to q reporter for the New York Tribune:
 T have long advocated the ad dmis- sion of New Mexico, but am bitterly ' opposed and unalterably opposed to the proposition of joint statehood with Arizona, and i am certain that the people of that territory are quite a- much adverse to it, even though ;he state named Arizona, with the capital at Santa Fe. and with the name of New Mexico eliminated
 The people of the two territories are friendly in ther- intercourse, and are good neighbors, but do not care to reside in the same house.
 There is difference in the make up Of the population of the two terri tories, that Of New Mexico includ ing many native Mexicans. 1 myself am of the third generation to the manor born. Oar customs and code are dif- ferent, just as there are local char acteristics peculiar to a people who live on one side of mountain that differentiate them from the people who are domiciled on the other side. s

TWO GIANT NATIONS
 PLUNGED INTO VAR.
Japanese Torpedo Fleet Attacks Russian Squadron at Port Arthur and DiS-
 dbleS Three Ships.

St. Petersburg, Feb. g.-The great conflict in the Far East is on in earn est. Japan struck the first blow and the Russians ar= the sufferers. accord ing to information from their own com mauder. The blow was struck last night and cary today there were all sorts Of rumOrs.
 The Russian commander. however. confirms the report Of the success Of the Japanese attack iu the following cab.egram:
 'On or about midnight, Feb. ; g. Japanese torpedo boats made il sudden attack by means of mines upon the Russian squadron in the outer roads of the fortress of Port Arthur in which the battle ships Betyjzan and Cesar with and the cruiser l'allata were damaged. An inspection i- being made tp ascertain the Character of the dam agc."
 Farther confirmed information i- that Port Arthur has been declared under martial law by the Russians d. d result Of the attack Of the Japs.
 The battle continues to rage. the fleets being three miles apart, advices say.
 Another battle is reported at Che 'nuipo. two Russian ships are sunk says one report: another says they sur rendered.

New Railroad Survey.

A Santa Fe surveying party is now
 in the field survey ing q line from DudlcyvilIe in Pinal county to Wilcox, from which point t ls said the line will parallel the ;. r. to Deming New Mexico. This is doubles, the same party which surveyed line through Graham county few months ago. |, is not likely that both lines will be built. After the survey ha. b-cn com p.eted the management will determine which Of the two i7 the most feasible aud will bring the best results. The ERA is Of the opiuicn that the line up 'tr G.ia river to Duncan would control more local business than the one now being surveyed, and il would be of in calculab!" benefit to Graham county. It might be well to appoint q com mlttee from Graham county To inter- view the officials in behalf Of the river route.

 MARY E. BUNKER.
 The Bulletin is authority for the statement that Mrs. C. l.. Wish, relict of the late Dr. Wish of Stafford, who was killed by his step-son two weeks ago, is slowly recovering, and adds that "there Is no longer any doubt but what her husband attempted her life, and would have succeeded had not her son taken the heroic action recited in these columns last week. Mrs. Wish has stated that she remembers that on Christmas day she received the first dose of poisonous medicine" At the time Of the killing it was reported that Mrs. Wish was suffering from the ef- fleets of poison administered by her husband. but there were so many rumOrs in circulation that the ERA did not make any of them public. The facts, however, are gradually being brought to light, and there seems little doubt that the doctor was a vile mOn- ster in human form. The attempt to murder his wife by slow poison was q light crime compared with some others with which he was charged. The doctor. it seems, left an antimOrtem , tatement to the effect that he wOuld kill his wife and his step daughter, and then suicide rather than that certain events should transpire No doubt he would have carried his threat into execution but for the timely arrival oi his step son who put an end 10 the doctors earthly career. Tue doctor was evidently unbalanced menta fly. No sane man could haze done what he did, and yet the change in his con ndition had not been noticed by the general public. l. is q strange case, and with all most deplOrable one.

He has ten-ioot vein of good coal. five feet Of fire clay. and has brought back samples of oil which bubbles from the ground This may sound like fairy tale 10 those who are not familiar with the resources Of that section. but there can be little doubt that it Is authentic. A meet ing will be held Saturday night by those interested to form company to develop the property.
