MILLIONS IN CITY HALLS.
By Far the Most Costly Building Is
 That of the Municipality of .s..... Philadelphia.

The recent awarding of plans for a new courthouse and county building for Chicago recalls the fact that an immense sum is invested in public buildings by municipalities in the United States. The 175 chief cities oi America have $100,000,OO0 invested in city halls. Philadelphia leads with a s27,O0O,000 city hall and San Francisco follows with one worth $8,300,000.
 After these cities come Boston, with 6 city hall representing s7,500,000; New York, with one standing for $7.000,000, and Baltimore with a $5; 100000 structure and grounds. The value in each case is based upon the value of the city hall itself and the park or grounds surrounding it.
 Every American city of over 300,. 900 population has at least a S1, ,000, ,00C city hall, with the exception of New Orleans. St Louis, Cincinnati and Detroit have buildings worth more than s2,000,000 each. Chicago falls $250,000 below that figure. Pittsburg and Milwaukee follow.
 Among minor American cities which have elaborate city halls are Rich. mond. Va: Minneapolis and Provi dence. Indianapolis, which has a stately statehouse, has an inferior city hall. Toledo and Atlanta have small municipal buildings. The Denver city hall is valued at s265, 900; that of East St. Louis place of much less i'm portance, has one that cost s425, ,000.
 Houston, Tex, has a s550.000 city hall and Memphis one costing only sS5,0O0.

It was in 1866, year after the close of the civil war, that John V. Meeker, 8 resident of Puyallup, Wash, con ceived the idea that the Pacific coast would be good region for growing hops, and experimented by planting half an acre on his farm. The expert ment proved a success, and from his half acre MT. Meeker secured 1855 pounds of baby hops, which were cured In the loft over the family living room, and found ready sale at 83 cents per pound.
 While the first hops in the north west were raised in Washington, and that state is still very large pro ducer, Oregon for years has been the banner state,'and the 1904 crop amount ed to 92,500 bales of from 1S0 to 190 { pounds, which brought on the average 25 cents per pound. The value of the crop exceeded s4,00O,000, or eight dol lars for every man, woman and child within the boundaries of the state.
 The story of the marvellous growth of hop culture in Oregon is character } istic of the growth of all things in the , state which forms a part of the i'm mense territory that was acquired by

the United States as result of the ; Lewis and Clark explorations.
 Hop raising, say men who have tried it, is more interesting than any other branch of farming, because there is in it an element of chance. A man may realize immense profits one year, and nearly as great losses the next, but in the main the business is reli- able if a man understands it, and is careful. Jefferson Myers, who served as president of the Oregon state com mission of the Lewis and Clark expo sition, is one of the biggest hop grow CTS in the west. He says that small hop yards of, say, five or ten acres, are safest, because they are apt to re- ceive better attention than larger yards.
 People in Oregon talk in large fig ures, because large profits are not un- usual. Therefore, one is not surprised to read in a carefully written article by Mir. W. J. Clarke, of Geryais, Ore gon, that a hop yard of ten acres should net, on the average, a profit of s1,sS7.50 per year. Mir. Clarke has fig ured that the cost of a ten-acre hop yard, including cost of land, hophouse, poles and wire, hop roots, planting, cultivating and twining, for two years, will amount to S2,250 His figures show a profit of S4 per cent. IL would appear that an occasional loss might be sustained by one who under normal circumstances is making S4 per cent on his investment.
 Hop culture in Oregon is centered largely in the Willamette valley, a region which was first farmed by Dr. Mclaughlin, of the Hudson's Bay com pany, before Marcus Whitman led his band of missionaries across the noun tains, and which ever since has been one = the worlds most prolific agri- cultural regions. Marion county. Oregon, in the heart of this region. is the banner hop country of the United States. both in quality and the quan- tity of hops produced.
 There are two kinds of soil in the valley in which hops are grown. the uplands and the river bottoms. and both have their advantages The river bottoms. while they produce per haps 50 per cent more hops to the acre, are not so reliable. as they over flow every year. and the crop is subject to mold and eattacksO Of hop lice. while neither of these dangers worries the man who grows his hops on the up lands. Spraying tEO or three times year is. however. considered neces- sary to insure the crop against dan ger from pests.
 Hops are planted somewhat after the manner Of corn. except that the hills are eight feet apart each way. In planting. a slip six inches long. taken from a vine. Is buried in the s-Uund in place of seed The hops are trained either cn poles. as is the GUS tom in the east. or on a trellis ar rsnEement. which is said to be better s the long run. but more expensive

MISUSE or THE TELEPHONE
Abominable Small outrages That Are Committed by Wire
 Every Day.

Again are we moved to express say age animosity against the exemplarl of brutal selfishness who, when the! wish to "get" somebody on the tele phone, have an underling call tha somebody from that somebody's busi ness, only to tell him to wait a mo ment' while the man who wants te talk takes his time in going to the transmitter This, declares the New York Times, is one of the most abom. inable of small outrages, and yet 1t is committed thousand and thousands oi times day in this city alone, and how often the thing happens in the whols country nobody could count. Yet we never heard even a single defense oi the practice-never knew of a mar who did not foam with rage when him. self the victim of it. The telephone necessarily, or at least habitually, gives so many and such extraordinary privi. leges in the way of securing attention that those who want and obtain it. often from men into whose offices they would have great difficulty in gaining access in person, might at least have the common decency to make the trou. ble they cause as small as possible and to use up no needless amount of the other mans time. Probably the only way to cure this evil is to refuse to talk to anybody for whose convenience the insolent request to wait a mo. ment" has been made. That might in- terfere with business somewhat for awhile, but the lesson would soon be learned, and after that the telephone would be freed from what is unques tionably the most irritating conse quence of it's invention.

As one weak link weakens chain, so weak kidneys weaken the old body and hasten the final breaking down.
 0verwork, strains. colds and other causes injure the kidneys, and when their activity is lessened the whole body suffers from the excess of uric poison circulated in the blood.
 Aches and pains and languor and urinary ills come, and there is an ever increasing tendency towards diabetes and fatal Bright's disease There is no real help for the sufferer except kidney help.

PRAISE WIFE RE IT IS JUSTLY DUE.

The editor of our esteemed contem- porary believes that there are two pressing needs of which the City of Bisbee is in dire want at present. One of these is a first-class opera house, the second. is increased hotel accom- modations. Both suggestions are time ly. As to the first, A. L. Manahan is at present in Los Angeles perfecting plans for the erection in this city of an opera house which will eclipse any similar structure of the kind in the territory, and that the opera house will be ready for occupancy before the next theatrical season, is hoped. As to the second, the increased hotel accommodations, the Review believes that Bisbee could easily accommodate another hotel of he Copper Queen type, which has long been an oasis in the desert for travelling men and the general public. Under the manage ment of E. o. Rouzer the institution has grown steadily in public favor un- iii it's present facilities are daily taxed to the utmost The additions now under way will to some extent relieve the crowded conditions, but it is very doubtful if the Copper Queen Hotel will then be able 10 accommodate the increasing patronage for a first-class hotel. Bisbee needs additional hotel accommodations, but not for the req son assigned by our evening contem- Dorary. The reputation of the Copper Queen Hotel management has been srpead far and wide. TravelIng men, of their own volition, speak of it in the highest terms. eastern visitors are pleasantly surprised at the excellence of service, and our home people can willingly testify to the unbound0i hos, pitality and courtesy of the present manager. The day may come in Bis tee when we can boast of two such accommodating hostelries as the Cop. per Queen Hotel, but so long as E. 0. RoUzer remains with the Copper Queen, that hotel is assured of a con tinued increase in patronage and pub lie favor.

Vegetable Compound sooner; for have tried so many remedies without help.
 "I dreaded the approach of my menstrual period every month, as it meant so much pain and suffering for me, but after l had used the Compound two months I became regular and natural and am now perfectly well and free from pain at my monthly periods I am very grateful for what Lydia E Pinkham's Vege table Compound has done fCf me"
 Such testimony should be accepted by all women as convincing evidence that Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound stands without peer as a remedy for all the distressing ills of women.
 The success of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound rests upon tho well-earned gratitude of American women.
 When women are troubled with irreg- ular, suppressed or painful menstrua- ton, leucorrhOea, displacement or ul- ceration of the womb, that bearing down feeling. inflammation of the ovaries, backache, bloating, for fatu- leucy), general debility, indigestion and nervous prostration or are beset with such symptoms as dizziness. faintness, lassitude, excitability, irritability, ner- vousness. sleepleSsness, melancholy, they should remember there is one tried and true remedy, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at once removes such troubles. Refuse to buy any other medicine, for you need the best.

While no woman is entirely free from periodical suffering, it does rot seem to be the plan of nature that women should suffer so severely. Menstrua- tion is a severe strain on a woman's s vitality. If it is painful CT irregular something is wrong which should be set right or it will lead to serious de- engagement of the whole female organ ism.
 More than fifty thousand women have testified in grateful letters to Mrs. Pinkham that Lydia E. Pinkham' 8 Vegetable Compound overcomes pain ful and irregular menstruation.
 It provides safe and sure way of es- cape from distressing and dangerous weaknesses and diseases.
 The two following letters tell so con vincingly what Lydia E. Pinkham's 8 Vegetable Compound will do for women. they cannot fail to bring hope to thousands of sufferers.
 Miss Nellie Holmes of 540 N. Davi- sion Street, Buffalo, N. r., writes; Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
 Your medicine is indeed an ideal medicine for women I suffered misery for years with painful periods, headaches, and bearing down pains consulted two different physicians but failed to get auy relief A friend from the East advised me to try Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound I did So, and no longer suffer as l did before. My periods are natural; every ache and pain is gone, and my general health is much improved l advise all women who suffer to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound"

HERE IS THE LIMIT.

The silliest thing published in con nection with the joint statehood argu. ments has recently appeared in the eastern newspapers. We refer to the recent statement made in Harpers Weekly and Golfers to the effect that the railroad and mine owners in Ari- zona are opposing the joint statehood proposition because they fear that they will not be able to control the new state. The Santa Fe railroad is especially mentioned in the matter. Now, everybody knows that the Santa Fe railroad interests in Arizona are looked after by Hon. Frank Murphy, who also is considered the real direct ing hand of the Republican party in the territory. The Santa Fe has many hundreds of miles more railroad in New Mexico than it has in Arizona, the new state would be safely Repub Iican and just why MT. Murphy would object to the jointure for fear of los ing political or even mercenary power Dg tue 5OFNA LAA NAS AAN%- a Democratic territory to Reru5 Iican state is beyond our comprehen sion. The assertion of these eastern papers about the corporations fighting joint statehood implies tha. heSe cor porations have been corrupt in shap ing legislation in Arizona in fhe past still Arizona has always been free from corruption or political scanda Of any character, whereas New Mex leo has been notoriously corrupt 20 Iitically. In Arizona almost the en tire voting population is composed O an intelligent citizenship; in New Mexico the ignorant Mexicahs ar' voted by hundreds at so much per Such a political condition as prevails in New Mexico would be iIst int the hands of corporations whicl wanted to control elections.
 The railroad men and thc mininI men of Arizona are opposing ;oin statehood for the same reasons tha practically the entire population o
Bisbee daily review., 1905-11-07

this territory opposes it; because tho system of governments which have been builded in the two territories ar different; because in blending the two governments into one there would be friction created by each having to surrender systems and institutions re- garded with pride as the results of efforts of the past; because in the re- location of public institutions bitter antagonisms would necessarily be aroused. Arizona would have all to lose by the fact that the voters of New Mexico outnumber those of Arizona almost two to one.
 In commenting on this last argu ment being used to bolster up the cause of joint statehood the Arizona Republican has this to say;
 We do not think that the charge of the activity by the railroad and mine owners originated with Mir. Beveridge, though he has made it, or with tn eastern papers, which have printed it. The dragging of the corporations into the controversy Is the work or local demagogues-of some of the very few who are advocating joint statehood The suggestion was made by them and has simply been adopted. It has ever been the policy of foolish demagogues to endeayor to cast odium upon a cause by linking corporations with it. We do not be lieve that any joint statehood advo' cate in this territory would charge in public that the corporations and the office holders are the moving power behind the opposition to joint statehood. We do not believe that the editors of the four papers in Ari zona said to be in favor of joint state hood could be induced to print such a charge for home consumption.
 Yet we are certain that some Of them, joint statehood advocates or joint statehood editors have for warded to MT. Beveridge matter with which they would not insult the intel ligence of Arizona hearers and read CTS. As to the inference that the cor porations and politicians are the chief opponents to joint statehood. 1t may be said that every public and repre- sentative gathering held since the az itation was begun has entered strong protest against it. Every church con ference. every commercial body every political convention of either party has implored congress not to do Arizona this wrong. And we may add that not a dissenting voice has ever been publicly raised against the protest.
 When admitting that the railroad managers and the mine owners are fighting jointure. are they fighting alone? Have not they and all the people been driven together by a com mon peril?

SPORTS AND PICKINGs.

The inclemency of the weather pre- vented a very large crowd being pres ent at the Opera House Sunday night to witness the grand athletic and vaudeville performance for the benefit of Joe Strinker. Just as the show was about to begin the lights all went out leaving the house in total darkness The management hustled around and got a dozen candles, and with the aid of these the performance was given but not without it's difficulties. The singing and dancing of MT. Joe Kelly and the baritone solos by MT. Gray were exceptionally good. The even ing's entertainment closed with two boxing exhibitions, the first between McCIung and Benson, and a whirlwlnc affair between StTinker and Barney.
 Chick Allisaer, James Munch, Patsy Harrington and Jake Wright left Sun day morning for Guadalupe canyon, be low Slaughters ranch, on a hunting trip. They expect to be gone seYera 0ays.

Ever since the last fight betweeI these two scrappers there has beer more or less talk as to who was th' best man. The last bout went to Nc Clung on a foul, and caused a grea deal of dissatisfaction, as a great man! of the sports thought McKeever woul' have won had the fight lasted a shor while longer. As both of the princi pals have shown a willingness to set tie the question by putting up thei money and also their mits, we shal soon be relieved of all this worry an suspense.
