We, the Republican party O.
 the Territory of Arizona in con
 ventlon assembled. do hereby re.
 affirm our devotion to tbe policie.
 and principles of the Republican
 party as enunciated in the national
 platform; and further, we approve
 those principles and purposes as
 embodied in our national legisla-
 ton of the past. And comparing
 our present leaders with our great
 historic leaders, we believe them to
 be worthy of our most earnest sup
 port.
 We endorse and approve the
 administration at Washington and
 especially that high diplomacy
 which has so magnifed our coun- sry's prestige and influence iii foreign affairs; which secured to us the Panama canal, the building of which we believe will result in world wide benefit to all mankind and secure to the United States the political and commercial suprem- acy of the Pacific ocean. We es- pecially and particularly endorse and approve the promotion of irri- gation laws for and on behalf of the Territory of Arizona and other portions of the arid West, by the Republican majority in the na- tlonal Congress, and we call es- peclal attention to the fact that President Roosevelt was the first and only President of the United States who called the attention of Congress to the needs of the arid West in the matter of irrigation and made possible the passage of the present national irrigation law.
 We commend and approve the { administration of Theodore Roose welt and heartily endorse the ac- ton of the Republican national ! convention in placing him in nom ination for the Presidency of the United States of America. We ap- prove and take pride in his un- swerving fidelity to duty, his gen. uine Americanism, his lofty patri- otism, and fearless endorsement of the law, his loyal support of Re- publican principles and policies, i his broad minded attitude towards II the interests of all sections and N classes of this great republic We endorse Alexander 0. Brodie and U his efficient and impartial admin istration of his duties as Governor Of this Territory.
 We desire the admission of Ari- zona into the Union as a separate and sovereign State, and are unit edly and unalterably opposed to the admission of Arizona and New Mexico into the Union as one state, preferring to remain Terri +ory indefinitely rather than such union, and We deeply regret and ieplore the action of the Demo- 'ratic majority in the last Terri .orial Council in passing a resolu. ion favoring joint Statehood and .fansmitting said resolution to the President and national Congress as he joint action of the two houses I the Territorial Legislature, all 'f which was done against the 'arnest and united opposition of he Republican members of the Council.
 We again remind the people of Arizona that it was the Republican 'arty who formulated and main aimed that policy of protection for abor which has made the Ameri- an laborer the most independent I workmen. and the peer of every - x1

Suits Against Receiuer.

The board of supervisors have
 notified Receiver Fred Herrera o1
 the defunct International Bank, of
 application to the district court for
 permission to file suit on behalf of the county to collect from the re- celver the deficit in the county treasury caused by failure of the
 bank in which the county funds were deposited. It is claimed that county funds in banks are by law made special deposits, to be given preference over all other creditors !. and that under the law the receiver must pay to the county to satisfy It's claim before any funds realized by him can be paid to other de. positors. As the receiver is an officer of the court he cannot be sued without consent of the court. hence the application. If granted the receiver will be enioined from paying out any of the funds col lected until trial of the case has gone through all the courts. That will defer indefinitely the hoped dividend of 5 to 10 per cent which the receiver thought he could de- clare depositors in December; and II the county wins the hopes of de- positors for getting any money will be yet further deferred, because it would take, should the county se- cure the judgment asked, nearly all the funds the receiver has now n sight, from which he hoped to soon pay a small dividend to de- positors.
 LATER The court has granted the desired leave to sue.

dicular, so that the Indians who
were on top the bluff where the
boat would pass. would be nearly
over the boat. When we got to the
foot of the left hand bend at the
head of the island, about two miles
below Mr.. Solenberger's place, we
soon found that the Indians had
not all crossed, as they began firing
at us from the timber and riddled
the boat, but as no one but Gen.
Holibird and Capt. Calhoun were
in the pilot house, and myself at
the wheel-we soon got out Of
range of their guns, but did not
know how to escape those on the
bluff; not being acquainted with
the channel on the left side of the
island, we dared not venture there
for fear Of sand bars. We stopped
the boat and held a council of war.
We knew we'll if we went down past
the bluffs, we would surely have
trouble as the Indians could shoot
almost straight down upon us, and
the boiler iron, which all boats car
ried to protect their pilots, would
be of little use to us on account of
the Indians position. Should we
go down on the left Of the island
and not get thru, we would surely
have serious trouble, but decided
to make the attempt.
We started on our dangerous trip
lodged among the sandbars and
scratched thru. | consider it the
most lucky event of my life in get
ting thru at the left Of the island.
Had [ got aground, the Indians
would have kept us there. They
could reach us from the island and
main shore and would have shot ev-
cry man that tried to shield himself.
The boat was owned in Pittsburgh,
where Capt. Calhoun lived We
made the best trip that was ever
made by d steamboat and when all
expenses of the trip was paid, Capt.
Calhoun carried home $42,594. My
salary was 81 200 per month and l
paid steersman out of that $3.50
a month, which left me $3.50. We
were gone from st. Louis six
months and ten days.

uNwARRANTep HILARIrY.

There seems to be a disposition to- ward unwarranted hils-ity in RepLbli- can circles because ". H. Neil. the well known eattleman. has consented to make the race for supervisor The fact is, the Republicans are thoroughly disheartened over tiie ou look fo- the ticket nominated in Tombstone last Saturday. Neil was about the only man nominated who it was considered had any chance of election. aud the report that he would not accept the nomination, but would work for the election of his good friend, W. M. Riggs, caused consternation in. tine ranks Of the g. o. D. NON, there is nothing alarming in the candidacy of Air. Neil. so far as the Democrats ass concerned, as no mar can orer a reason why any Democrat should vote for him in preference of either of lse Democratic candidates. The Demo crats placed MT. Riggs on their ticket so that the cattlemen would have a representative on the board of super visors, and the cattlemen have al ready expressed their appreciation of this consideration by the Democf ats. Mir. Neil is an excellent citizen, but as the Democrats had already arranged for a representative of the cattlemen on the board of supervisors his candi- dacy was unnecessary. and if he per sists in staying in the race he will have to take his chances, along wi,h the rest of the Republican candidates in this Democratic county.

A BODY BLOW.

Hon. M A. Sp 'th. tGe Democratic standard bearer. Was in Phoenix on Monday night, ani m the caurse of his remarks met -ho aeedsatioa that he was the obstruchoa'st who preyeatei ! Arizona from beco.rlas a su.,e a: he time Utah was admitted to the Union.
 ''I have been nightly worried about this accusation. said MT. Smith. re ferring to the Utah matter, and have cu6geled my brain for something to say in attenuation of mT oonGucs on that momentous occa on. when. ac- cogding to my aecuss-s. I prevented the admission of Arizona because would not permit our Territory 10 come in under the same sort of a bill as the one admitting Utah. My friends, the enemy, hadn't the courage to say so, but what they meant to accuse nie of. was that opposed the insertion of an anti-pclygamy clause in the bill ad- mitting Arizona. And as l said be- fore, that charge has been bOtheriEg me a great deal. If I could rot answer it satisfactorily, saw in it the end ing of all my hope of winning this campaign; if I could not explain my conduct so that it would appear right and proper, I could see nothing but Republican victory in Arizona. and the joint statehood which will accompany Republican victory. Well, 1 have an answer. 1 don't know whether it will be satisfactory CT pleasing to all of you or not. But it is the best I cau do. And the answer is this: That Utah was admitted to statehood on the 4th day of July, 1895. at which time I was practicing law and attending to my own business in my office in Tue son. while your Territory was repre- sented in Congress by the Hon. Oakes Murphy And the Hon. Oakes Mur- phy, to the best Of my knowledge and belief. strove manfully to secure the passage of the bill admitting Arizona to statehood. and couldn't even get it out of the Republican committee where it rested until the end of the session"
 MT Smith has afforded his Repub- lican accusers an opportunity to re- tract the other ridiculous charges which have been made against him, which he declares are as foundation less as the one he exploded Monday night. It remains 10 be seen whether they have the moral courage to play fair. or whether another chastisement will have to De administered.

If the Republican spelibinders now travelling over the territory can find nothing better to talk about than state. hood, they had better go home and keep silent. The people of Arizona are posted on the manner in which the Republican party has given them the statehood double cross" during the last dozen years, and they VIII soak that party to fare-you-well ;n November.
 Over in New Mexico there are two Republicans running for congress against ore Democrat. Delegate Ro- dev was defeated for nomination n .he Republican convention, and W.

The MILKY Wny.

An investigation at Harvard college
observatory has shown that the Milky
Way has about twice as many stars as
any other equal area of the Sky. This
ratio does not increase for faint stars
down to the twelfth magnitude, but the
proportion of stars of any given mag
nitude is the same as in other regions
The Milky Way covers about one-third
of the sky, containing about one-half of
the stars. About 10000 stars are of
magnitude &C, or brighter, 100000 of
magnitude 81, 100000 of magnitude
II, and 100000 of magnitude II. 9, while
it is thought-but not certainly known
that about 1S,000,00O stars are visible
in telescope of Is inches aperture, that
is, down to about the fifteenth magni-
tude. There is no evidence of any limit
to the faintness of the stars, although
the proportionate increase becomes less
for each successive magnitude.

The restaurants of every city have
their own peculiarities in respect 20
the dishes which they furnish GUS
toner free, regardless of what is or
dered. Some are known for their gen
arosity and othst7 for their stinginess.
5.very restaurant has its so-called free
list, and this varies in the different
cities according to the cost at which
extras may be given. In San Fran
cisco it is the custom TO offer
diner plate of shrimps, although his
order may call for no heavier meal
than coffee and toast. In New York
potatoes are on the free list, and
sometimes a plate of bread. Restaur-
ant patrons at Washington receive
extras in the way of fruit, according
to its season, but in Boston the diner
pays moro completely for everything
he eats than is exacted in any other
city in the country. The apples which
are free in a Washington restaurant

NEW ZEALAND'S RABBITS.
Formerly Pest, Now "A Source of
Revcnue-$SO5,OO worth
Shipped Last Year.

Rabbits, which have been the pest OF
Australia and New Zealand for many
years. have now become source of large
revenue. Frozen rabbits to the value
of over $SO5, 900 were exported from Vic
toria, New Zealand last year, in ad :
tion 20 $4,000 worth of preserved rap-
bits. This business is daily increasing.
Now that the trapping industry is such
an important one, employing as it does
several thousand hands, and is largely
effective in keeping the rabbit pest in
check, the chances are that the meth
DDS of compulsory suppression now en-
forced on landholders will at least be
moderated by the government.
The rabbits in Australia and New
Zealand were originally shipped from
England, and it is almost impossible to
keep them out of the cattle ranches.
Fences have been built around these
vast stations with a wire netting sunk
1S inches below the surface to prevent
the rabbits from getting inside, but as
Cameron County press. [volume] (Emporium, Cameron County, Pa.) 1866-1922, 1904-03-03

soon as grass becomes short on the
outside, "Mr. Bunnie" will burrow un-
der the wire netting and eat up the grass
on the inside.
Rabbits in this country rarely burrow,
but are to be found in stumps of trees
and under fallen timber. In and about
Chicago, where land is divided for build
ing purposes, rabbits make their homes
under the wooden sidewalks, and can
be easily turned out by a good dog.
Such, however, is not the habit of the
Australian pest.

those Of the provision trade. When it
is borne in mind that so per cent Of
