PASSING OF FRANK EDGAR
Good Nan Gone to His Final Rest in
the New Jerusalem

Frank Edgar, the man who had
no enemies, and who had lived
here for years, is gone. He had
been rather poorly all winter, and
has, at times, quit work because he
did not feel we'll. He left here on
Sunday evening, the Oath of Jam
uary, for Phoenix. He had been
working right along helping Ed.
Zeiger put in the pipe line for the
Martinez water system. For sew
eral days before he left he had
been complaining of a pain in. his
head, and went to Phoenix for
treatment. No one here thought
he was in any danger. It is re-
ported that he had suffered from a
stroke of apoplexy the day before
he died, but the authenticity of
this we cannot vouch for, as the de-
tails of his death are very meager
here. The sad news of his death
reached here on Monday, and a
circle of friends were panied to
learn that he had been called to
the unknown beyond. 5DooG a3 ae,r
Frank was an unassuming fell
low who always attended strictly to
his own business and paid his
debts. He was generous to fault,
and was not of a suspicious nature.
He carried no chips on his shoul-
ders, and never slandered his
neighbors. tsa
His sister, Mrs. J. R. Dunn, of
Wickenburg, went to Phoenix i'm
mediately on the receipt of the
news of his death. She was pas
senger on the freight that was
wrecked near Morristown, but es-
capped without injury.
His many friends, while sorrow
ing themselves over the loss of such
good friend, extend sympathy to
his bereaved relatives. ...- -~os,.

WANT NO JOINT STATEHOOD
Strong and Logical Resolutions
Passed at Mass Meeting
@ Saturday Last
WANT NO JOINT STATEHOOD

Every adult in Wickenburg
signed the petition protesting joint
Statehood. Also at the mass meet
ing in that city, Saturday afternoon,
passed the following strong and
logical resolutions:
Whereas, It appears from press
and other reports that an effort is
to be made to pass bill in Con-
grsss to unite the Territories Of Ar
izona and New Mexico and admit
them as one State. and
Whereas, in our opinion, such an
act would be seriously detrimental
to the interests of Arizona, and
cannot but result in continued dis
satisfaction and dissentions for
many reasons, among which are:
1st. The combined area of the
two Territories would be too great
for satisfactory and economical
government.
I'd. The people and the interests
OF the two Territories differ SO
widely that it would be practically
impossible to pass one set of laws
just and satisfactory to both sec'
= tions, resulting in lack of harmony
and unstable government.
Sd. That each Territory already
has adequate Territorial institu-
tions, soundly established, and
many costly buildings have been
erected and are in use by said in
stitutions; that union of the two
Territories wonld result in a contest
over the future location of such in
stitutions, and as the population of
New Mexico is slightly larger than
that of Arizona, we would proba-
bly, lose most of the present Terri
torial institutions and the large
sums already expended would be a
total loss.
4th. Each of said Territories has
a large bonded indebtedness, and
it would be manifestly unjust to
force either Territory to assist in
paying Indebtedness which it did
not assist in incurring, and from
which it has received no benefits.
Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the people of Wick
enburg, Maricopa county, Arizona,
In mass meeting assembled, that,
while we believe we are entitled to
and ready for State government,
yet rather than lose the identity
we have learned to cherish and re-
spec:; we prefer to remain in Terri
torial vassalage forever, than to
unite with New Mexico; and be it
further
Resolved, That copy of these
resolutions be forwarded to our
Delegate in Congress and by him
brought to the attention of that
honorable body.

Enforcement of Law.

Referring again to Mr.. Molander's
reply to the examiners report on the
auditors office we find the following
statement:
Every log cut on state land is stamped
MIN" which is cut in the end Of the
log. The bark mark cuts very little figure
and Is more for the protection Of the lum-
herman himself than for the state.
This is offered in excuse for the fact
that the regulations with regard to the
bark mark were either very loosely
observed or disregarded altogether by
the auditors office. Section 80 of
chapter 1853, General Laws Of Mime
sofa for 1895, says that:
Any person who shall cut any timber
upon any such land and shall fail or
neglect to mark, or cause to be marked,
any such timber as provided by the per-
nit issued therefor, or shall place any
mark or marks upon the timber cut by
him under such permit than the ones pre-
scribed thereby, shall be guilty Of a mis-
demeanor, and upon conviction thereof
shall be punished by a fine not exceeding
| 81, 900, or Imprisonment in the county jail
not exceeding one year, or by both.
| And then the law goes on to provide
that in order to carry out these re-
uuirements and make sure that the
log marks are properly affixed, the
surveyor general is authorized and
empowered to appoint as many deputy
surveyors as may be necessary, an6

Shall Delegates Be Free?

It is to be hoped that the state Of
minnesota will be spared the spectacle
of delegates assembled to nominate a
republican state ticket, coming to st.
Paul and remaining there thru the
convention as the guests Of a candi-
date, with all their expenses paid out
of his plethoric campaign fund.
If there is a place for independence
and freedom from Interior influence,
for exercise Of an untrammeled po-
litical conscience, it is in a state con-
Wention. The body that names the
elective officers Of a state determines
and outlines the issues Of the cam
Ipaign, ought to be composed Of free,
independent, right-thinking men I'M
der obligations to no one, and not to
be herded and voted like cattle.
The public conscience condemns
men in office for accepting favors to
influence their action. What, are we
! to expect when representative repub-
rIican voters, picked from the ranks OF
the party, allow q candidate or a ma
chiue to put a brand on them and hold
them in line with obligations? Going
to st. Paul at the expense Of a candi.
date or corporation, eating, drinking
and sleeping on his bounty, what car
delegate do but the bidding of the
boss?
Such a practice is allied to many
others that come under the ugly tern
of graft" How much better for {
delegate to pay his way and express
his own unbiased opinion withou
fear or favor. It is a hard struggl
that is being waged all over the United
States, for a higher standard Of pc
slitical honesty. Minnesota SHOULD
never take a backward step.

gllttering with rare and large gems Of the

throne of Persia, carried off by the Turks
in 1914, and covered with more than 10000
rubies, emeralds and fine pearls, and also
the throne Of Suleiman l., from the dome
of which there hangs over the head of the

Does It Pay?

& Always the debate goes on as to
whether college education is worth
while, and always the number Of those
seeking and attaining it increases. The
question does not seem to be one that
can be settled by the experience Of
others. Ebert Hubbard says that the
chief result Of a course in college is
the discovery of its uselessness. With
all due respect to Fra Elbertus (and
the burden is not insupportable) we
must say that there are many who are
graduated from college who do not
make this discovery. We all know the
college man who declares that he
wasted four years on the campus, but
we also know numerous college men
who are glad all the days Of their
lives that fate was kind enough to
give them four years at college,. It
is noticeable, too, that the man who
declares his time at college was
wasted generally sees to it that his son
receives an opportunity to commit
similar waste.
Persons who oppose a college edu-
cation are very apt to be Of the ranks
of those who hold that men are alto
gether born and not made for their
life work. They think that the best
preparation for life is life. If boy
is to be lawyer, put him into a law
yers office as an office boy as soon as
he has discared his Russian blouses.
If he is to be an engineer turn him
loose in a workshop at a tender age
and let him pick up his trade. These
good people consider that there is
nothing in life but daily occupation
and success in it. But with their mar
row view it Is as with the old, old
: story Of the pleasure seeker who finds

is sent there not only to prepare fol-
