"To Put an End to Bloody War
/ fare" an article by the venerable and
/ distinguished DR.. Edward Hale, is a
notable feature of the May number
of The Era Magazine. DIR. Hale ad-
vocates the extension of the practical
service of ga Supreme Court Among
| Nations" to settle all international
! disputes, as the supreme court of the
United States now terminates all
differences between the states, a
movement to which the painful tTag-
edies of the war now raging in the
east has given a decided impetus.
An accident occurred at a country
school the other day that goes to
show that the average youth knows no
such "a word as impossible. \ class
in arithmetic was struggling with sub
traction and the teacher was explain
ing That things su6strHcted must be
the same denomination as the thing
substracted from. She said you can
not take five peaches from six apples,
five lemons from six oranges, etc,
when up went a baud from a boy in
the class. "What is it, Johnnie?"
said the teacher. please, can't you
take five quarts of milk from six
cows?" Aud the teacher collapsed.
Not being in sympathy with the
Hearst movement in the territory, the
Tucson Citizen seems to take satisfac-
tion in the defeat of John L. Hughes
for delegate to the ST. Louis cOnven-
ton. The Star, which is owned,
edited and published by Mr.. Hughes
father. takes an entirely different
view Of the convention doings. The
Chinese have "a habit, when a person
commits crime, of killing him and
all of his relatives. In defeating
John T. Hughes, for delegate, because
the Maricopa delegation, and Mark
Smith had a political grievance
against the young mans father, was
on a par with the Chinese methods.

Company is the name of a recently
incorporated company the object of
which is to promote the sale of town
lots at Mayer. The company owns
between 100 and $50 acres of land and

town lots, which they will shortly
place on the market. The lots are
specially intended for residence pur
| poses and will range in price from
800 to $500 each. All the deeds will
contain a provision that liquor shall
not be sold on the premises for five
years. In order to encourage resi-
dence building the lots will be sold
on the installment plan, by the pay
ment of a small sum when sold, the
balance to be paid in small monthly
payments. Where the purchaser de-
sires it a house will be built and can
be paid for on the installment plan.
With the starting up of the Rigby Re
duction plant and the starting of the
new smelter by the Treadwell COM
pany, which is expected within the
next ninety days, the town of Mayer
will see a good healthy and rapid
growth. They are not looking for a
boom and do not want one but expect
/ to see the town grow at a lively pace
and the company will also work to-
ward the accomplishment of this.
