Government engineers have estimated that it will cost SIS. 100 to build a wagon road from Phoenix to the Tonto dam site. The road will no doubt be built and will be a great thing for Phoenix, Tempe and Mesa.

Some of the papers in the ter ritory are making a great fuss about the possibility of New Mex ico being admitted to statehood and Arizona being left out in the cold. We fail to see where we would be hurt so badly by such an arrangement. If New Mex icO is admitted at this term of congress 1t would take away the danger of having an alliance with New Mexico forced on us. If the men sent to congress are so nar- row minded as to resent the peti- tiOnS being sent in by our people, protesting against joint state hood, to such a degree that they would leave Arizona out just to spite her people, the less we have to do with them the better off we will be. Probably little later there will be brainier set of men elected to represent the peo- pie m congress, and then we will put our petition for statehood before them as honorable people dealing with their peers, with hopes of being admitted to the Sisterhood Of states without stain on our escutCheon. We are all right as territory and will grow as such Until we can get statehood hy ourselves let Us retain our individuality as a territory. Our miue, are just as rich as though Arg ala was a state.

To gain the new membership desired before the next annual meeting some effort will have to be put forth other than is now being done.

A man with halucinations that haunt
him continually called at the Office Of
the Acknowledgement in the library

Of the Attorney General to escape his
prosecutors. Mr.. John s.. Egglestcin, tho
assistant to the Attorney General, was
alone In tho office at the time. Tho man
liner of the man, a strange glitter In his

day, said he, while he was working on
the top floor of the building, number
of persons appeared at the windows of
surrounding buildings some Of them
wearing Masks and began firing at him
with Winchester rifles and revolvers.
Mr.. Eggleston recognized at once that
the man was demented and so did not
ridicule or deny his sta, mcnts, but
rather humored him, and appeared to
accept what he said. Mr.. Eggleston
finally suggested that he could tell him
Where he could get something to DO, If
he was not too choice as to his work.
Thinking thus to be rid of his strange
visitor. he suggested that he coEld vol

He appeared impressed with the idea,
and was told he had better so up to- the

left, leaving the impression that he would
follow tho advice given.
