In the event of the passage of the joint statehood bill it will be an easy matter to elect the forty four delegates allowed Arizona in the constitutional convention, all pledged to prevent framing any constitution at all. It is known that there is very strong sen timent in some parts of New Mexico against joint statehood. Will it not be possible to secure a sufficient number of the NewMexico delegates to the con- stitutionaI convention to join the solid forty -foui from Arizona in preventing the flaming of any constitution at all: We believe this will be the line of bat tie giving more promise of averting the impending statehood calamity than any other yet suggested.

What has become of the committee which the bar association of Arizona was to send to Washington to fight the joint statehood proposition: Cocbise county promised to put up its share of the money. Let the committee be start ed at once; Arizona needs every friend possible in Washington now.
Bisbee daily review., 1905-01-07

If the present statehood bill is killed this session it is not likely that any statehood bills will be introduced at all. so far as Arizona and New Mexico are concerned, during the term of the neN5 congress. Both Mark Smith and Delegate Andrews are ardent advocates of single statehood, bet they are both bitterly opposed to joining the territo. ries into one state, hence it is not likely tha5 either will introduce any state- hood bill during the next session.

FIGHT NOW ON

The statehood fight is now CD ia Washington and so far as known the friends of Arizona have made no per ceptible headway in convincing the leaders in the senate that they are doing 8 great wrong in pressing the bill join ing Arizona and NewMexico into one stete. Mark Smith, ex-Governor Bro- die, Col. Wilson and B. 4. Fowler are now the most prominent Aizonans in Washington. While they are not with out hope that they will be able to yet defeat the joint statehood bill, reports coming from disinterested sources are not very satisfactory. Mark Smith left the home of his brother in Ken lucky On December 3l for Washington. Writing to friend in Douglas he said that he would remain in Washington until the bill was beaten or until there was DO further hope of beating it.
 From the reports yesterday from Washington 1t seems that the statehood bill is to have the right of way in the senate. but it is not likely that vote will be reached ID the very near future. If the vote has not been taken on the assembling of the legislature on Janu- sry ] 6, then it is not unlikely that the legislature in body will go to Wash ington and protest against the iniqui- Jous and destructive measure.
 h the meantime every citizen of Arizona should write letter to Wash ington to either some friend or ac. quaintanve in congress or to one of the senators offering his individual protest against joint statehood. Let every cit izen of Arizona make it a point to write to one of the senators from the state of which he was 3 citizen before coming to Arlzona, calling attention to the practial. unanimous opposition to joint statehood among the people of this territory and the prevalence of the sentiment which would favor indefinite territc--;al government iii preference of the merger statehood condition. Such letters would do much good and each Arizonsn should be patriotic enough to wlite two or three letters to Wash ington.

WILL PLACE COMPANIES
UNDER FEDERAL CONTROL
Senator Dryden's Appeal for Fede-
cral Supervision Of Life Insur-
ance Companies.

Senator Dryden has entered vigor-
ously into the campaign for Federal
supervision of the life insurance COM
panies, which he Is championing in
the national legislature. Last month
he addressed a circular letter on the
subject to influential railroad men,
bankers, capitalists and investors
throughout the country. He enum-
crates the advantages to be expected
as follows:
the policy holders.
g. A decrease in the expense rate
and the cost of insurance.
3. A decrease in the burden of
needless taxation.
4. A decrease in the amount of
clerical labor now indispensable to
meet the requirements OF some fifty
states and territories.
5. The stamping out of fraudu-
lent insurance companies.
6. Adequate national protection
for American companies transacting
business in foreign countries.
Senator Dryden then goes on to
PROFOUND four questions, to which he
requests categorical answeres:
I. Do you indorse the suggestion
Of President Roosevelt that insur-
ance companies engaged in interstate
insurance business should be brought
under the control of the Federal
government?
2. Cd you hold the insurance to
be a national, rather than local.
business. and properly entitled to the
solicitude and care of the national
government?
3. AS matter OF personal opin-
ion, do you hold the business OF in
surance to be commerce, or an in
tegral and indispensable element of
commerce, in the sense in which this
term is used in everyday language?
4. Are you in any way apprehen-
sive that 1t would be inexpedient or
inadvisable to increase the power of
the Federal government to the ex-
tent implied in the regulation of in
surance by congress?
1t Is expected that these questions
will elicit replies which will, when
massed, constitute a weighty argu-
ment In the coming fight for Federal
control

has submerged vast salt works, and
fifteen miles Of the Southern Pacific
railroads overland track, forcing the
company to build around the rising
sea, and unless its engineers succeed
In routing the Colorado for its old
destination, 1t will be necessary to
rebuild much longer piece Of that
road. Some people have argued that
such sea would affect favorably the
climate of Southern California, but
they forget that the great Gulf of
California, jutting into the most bar
rem regions of the United States and
Mexico, seemingly has had NO good
effect on the climate of either. The
Salton Sea would add only 2 per cent
OF water surface to that part Of the
country, and so hardly would accom-
plish what the Gulf of California has
failed to do. Unless the break Is re-
stored, the river will pour into this
basin. forming very shallow lake,
which would be almost frying pan
under that semti-ropical sun. This
would continue to rise until evapora-
ton balanced the river flow. and then
would fluctuate with the seasons of
the year, shrinking in area during
the months OF the heaviest evapora-
ton and slightest inflow.
"The cash in the river bank was
cut by Mexican corporation on their
side of the international line, but the
water Is delivered to a number of
American corporations. so that today
several are concerned in the affair.
1t Is understood that the Southern
Pacific, when the water reaches its
lowest stage, will put in a great force
Of men in an endeavor to get the river
back to its former course. One great
difficulty comes in the sugar-llke ma
terial which has been eroded, and in
which 1t is extremely hard to insert
any permanent structure. A pile

very creditable maner. Grace Brook

that of Lucilius, and Varian Cook
that Of Messiah. The last essay. tell
ing of the death of Brutus and Cas-

AS an ending, the whole class
quoted that speech in which Anthony
expresses his opinion of Brutus, a
part of which is:
"His life was gentle, and the ele-
ments so mixed in him that Nature
might stand up and say to all the
world, This was a man.
As a whole, the society seemed to
please everyone. All the parts were
well performed. and the leader found
it necessary to prompt but two per-

well as it has begun, It will furnish
source of amusement to it's men,

WHAT A BOY COSTS.
A $4,000 BOY May Possibly Prove to
BE Bad Investment.

Somebody has figured out That the
raising of boy from birth to 21
years of age costs parents an average
of $4,000 in each case. The question
arises, would some other line pay
better?
That depends on whether you have
spent the $4,000 wisely. If the boy,
under your able tutelage and expendi-
lures, becomes a loafer or a sot, you
would have done better to have kept
the $4,000 If he becomes a useful
man, grows up to be level-headed,
healthy and honest. you have done
the best work of your life, for you
have added to the real capital and
backbone of the nation. The invest
ment of money in the rearing of chill
dren may be wise or foolish, just as
any other investment of money.

a total expenditure Of $9,838.50.
The cost Of the tunnel work during
the year averaged 1915 per foot,
and the development done has dem.
onstrated that the ore bodies Of this
property are permanent.
In the Copper Prince continuous
body of ore was encountered for 500
feet, running 90 per cent copper and
carrying gold values sufficient to pay
cost of mining and reduction Of the
ores.
An ore body has been cut in the
Last Chance tunnel. giving returns
in all values Of $1,000 per ton.
A cross cut Is under way to open
the Copper King at a depth Of 800

This stream, rising in Wyoming, has

OF Its journey the Southern Pacific
railroad runs below the sea level. Ten
thousand people, approximately, in
what is known as the Imperial val

result that the river thought best
to pour back its waters into The de-

The Sophomore Literary Society.
The first meeting of the Sophomore
Literary was held Friday evening,
November 3rd, in the high school
building. A few visitors and nearly
all the members Of the Sophomore
class were present.
When the audience had assembled,
Mr.. johnson, the president, called the
society to order, and few moments
were devoted to the discussion of the
business of the society. A committee
was appointed to suggest appropriate
names for the society, and it was de-
cided that the meetings should be
held on the second and fourth Fri
days in each school month.
The program, which was reading
from Shakespeares Julius Caesar"
began at s o'clock. The first piece, a
historical sketch by Bonnie Saw
bridge, was description of Caesars
trouble with Pompey, and was given
as a prelude to the reading. Next
came description of the conspiracy,
which was read with sympathy and
good expression by Nora Cox. This
reading was the keynote to the play,
for it told of Caesars plan, and all
the trouble that was in store for Gaze
sar. The third essay, read by Eva
Smith. was good description of the
way in which Caesar won Brutus to
the conspiracy.
The first dialogue on the program
was selection from scene two, act
two, OF Shakespeare's Julius Gaze
sar." Alma Lesh, as Cassius, at
tempted to win Della Schott, as Bru-
tus, to the conspiracy. Miss Lesh
presented her arguments with most
persuasive tones and gestures, while
Miss Schott made a very dignified
Brutus.
In the next dialogue Raleigh john
son took the part of Brutus. He
looked the picture of puzzled medita-
ton, and did his part we'll. Lester
Palmer took the part Of that obed-
lent but sleepy servant, Lucius. This
piece showed how Brutus finally de-
cided to join the conspiracy. and the
next essay, read by Wee Curtis, told
how the plot was carried out, and
Caesar was killed.
In the next selection, the funeral
orations," David Erwin was Brutus;
Jay Mcconnell Anthony, and Ben
