A COLORADO VIEW OF
 STATEHOOD SITUATION

The Pueblo Chieftain. the most in fluential republican newspaper in the state of Colorado south of Denver. has always been a stauneh friend of New Mexico and Arizona and is keeping up this friendly policy. Concerning state hood. the Chieftain is of the opinion that Oklahoma and New Mexico and Arizona are each entitled to separate statehood
 Editorially. the Chiettain says:
 There is no doubt about the right of each of the three territories. Ari- zona, New Mexico and Oklahoma. to statehood at the present time. We do not mean by this that the territories have any legal right to demand en- trance into the union or to compel con gress to admit them. But each of them has made such showing of population wealth and ability to support a state government that as a matter of justice congress ought to confer statehood upon them according to the practice that has been followed since the be ginning of our government.
 And each one of these territories ought to have statehood without re- gard to whether either of the others is admitted. or not. It is not fair to Oklahoma, for instance, to tie that territory up in an omnibus bill to com pei the people of that rich and flour fishing community to continue as na tional wards instead of national citi 'zens because the politicians in con gress cannot agree as to what would be the effect upon their selfish plans By the admission of Arizona or New Mexico.
 oklahoma ought to be admitted, and Arizona ought to be admitted, and New Mexico ought to be admitted, and this enlargement of the national union would be matter of justice not only to the people of those territories, but al so to all people of all the western states.
 As for the joint statehood plan that would be a worse injustice thar to leave the territories as they are and that plan is only advocated by those persons who are hostile to west ern interests"

DON'T WANDER

Arizona is a land of magnificent dis, tances as well as other things and peo
 pie who are unfamiliar with the coun. try should not wander into strange places in any part of the territory at this. season of the year.
 There are deserts and wide ex- panses that are dangerous to cross in the summertime, even in the good nor thern counties. at this season of the year for the sun gets hot at midday tfese days wherever v02 find it. The Williams News brings an account of ts :ian that were all orJ lest in the Grand Canyon region re-.l fly bml being strangers.

NOTE THIS FACT

At this time there Is a great deal of comparison beng made by newspaper readers here between the Arizona tenn peratures and those of the eastern cit ies, where people are dropping dead by scores. It will be seen by following the records that the Arizona temper atures, that is the maximum temper atures that are recorded in the day time, are still much larger than in the stricken cities. though as every body knows. are less disagreeable on account of the dryness of the western air But another point that may not have been noted by many people is the fact that during the hot wave the night temperatures in de east. re- gardiess of what the humidity may be actually register higher than the night temperature in torrid Arizona. And everybody knows that he can stand greater heat in the daytime if he is assured of a cool and restful sleep al night.

The Irish took a fall out of Premier Balfour in tho English house of com mons last week. when a motion made by Balfour concerning the member ship of the Irish land commission was defeated by majority of three. when the vote was taken. In England when the government leader is defeat ed in the house of commons on any important question it IS usual for he and the cabinet to resign. but it is claimed that this was not of sufficient importance to call for an observance of the custom. However, this ques- tion is to. be finally determined by another vote, which will occur today after Balfour has spoken.

 s THE OLD TIMERS LAST P s CAMP. P S P 1 e ,. S v ss S S H S H H 1 Last Saturday a citizen of Naco while taking a temporary trip through the foothills of the San Jose. six miles southwest of town, passed a prospector's camp. He observed the guns leaning against a pinon tree. The friendly wagon sheet stretched from bough to bough. the homely Dutch oven above a bed of ashes, and the form of a man, evidently asleep in natures armes. He passed on not caring to disturb the slumber of the tired prospector. As he returned and observed the man in the same ex- act position. the thought that there might be something wrong occurred to him. He approached the spot with noise and whistling. but the old prospcctor never moved.
 He came to his bedside. Yes. the old timer WAS asleep in the arms of nature. He was dead. No friendly arm had sustained his dying head No friend had closed his sightless eyes. no master of the art of making the dead presentable had been called 10 prepare the deserted tenement for its sepulchre.
 After long. long. years on the front. among the foothills. the mountains and the desert, he had finally laid down his burden beneath the shade of a modest pinon tree. with the per fume of pine and balsam all about him. with the music of wild birds in the blue Heavens above him. with na- lures sweet zephyrs at hand to wait his soul to the court of final reckoning. he left his poor old pain ridden body behind and went to the great unknown fields of eternity. which must be so grand since no mor- tai prospector ever returned.
 Since we must go, how much sweeter this fate. than be dragged b, lingering disease, inch by inch. with sorrcwing friends about us, with the agents of medical science there to prolong our sufferings. all in a sti- fling atmosphere. redolent with nos trums. unsiehtly with all the para phernalia which surrounds the aver

WILL NOT HURT HE RAILROADS


 The Railway World. which in some respects is the official organ of the railways of the United States. asserts that the completion of the Panama Canal will not cause any appreciable loss to the transcontinental railroad lines. The increase in the prosperity of the Mississippi valley and the Pa. life coast. which will follow the open. ing of the canal, will more than com pensate the railroads for any loss they might sustain from the diversion to the canal or through traffic. The an nual freight improvement at present across the Isthmus of Panama via the Panama railroad is less than half a million tons a year. of which only one seventh. or less than 10000 tons, was shipped between New York and San Francisco. Fruit cannot be shipped by the canal route. and as to other merchandise. the railroads will meet pretty nearly every kind of competi ton that the canal will bring. except perhaps. upon iron. coal and cotton and for the loss of that traffic, which the railroads claim they now carry al a loss. there will be compensations as noted. by theD increase of local ship ments brought about by increased prosperity. This being the case, there is no reason why the railroad interest: should make any efforts to delay. or il possible. to frustrate the completion of the canal
