work cheaper" But if women are better public servants than men, why ask them to work for less wages? Equal pay for equal work is simple justice, and if women can do the work better than men, then in all justice give them better pay. The idea that because wage earner is woman she should be paid less than the male wage earner doing similar work is erroneous, unjust and calculated to befog the indus trial issue. And if the Hiawatha World is unable to see the justice of this contention it should at least have chivalry enough to demand that the women receive equal pay to that given the man doing simi- lar work.-Commoner.

Will Be a Hard Winter

Parties coming in from the out lying country report that the In- dians are cutting hay and stacking it in large quantities for their stock for the coming winter. The h. dians, by some of their traditional signs, are lead to believe that the coming winter will be very cold and that there will be a great fall of snow, and they are doing more than usual to get ready for a hard winter. Those who know the h. dians and their ways find that these people generally hit it right in their forecast. Luckily for the redskins there was a big crop of wild hay this season and if the hard winter they predict comes to pass the sheep, horses and cattle will be carried through.-Gallup Repub- lican.

PENSlO OVERS LESS
 THAN A MILLION

The pension roll reached the maximum number in it's history on January 21 last, the number being 1,OO4 ,196. The roll passed the mil lion mark in September of last year and gradually increased for the next four months. The decline be- gan with the first of last February and by the end of May had dropped below the million mark.
 These facts are developed >in a synopsis of the annual report of Pension Commissioner Warner cov- ering the operations of his office for the fiscal year ending June 30 last. At the end of the year the number of pensioners had declined to 99S,- Al, a net decrease for the year of 3,769.
 The report shows the following additional facts:
 The annual value of the pension roll on June 30, 1905, was $780, 745,295. By the term "annual val ue" is meant the amount of money required to pay the pensioners then on the roll for one year.
 During the year 43,8S3 pension CTS were dropped from the roll by reason of deaths, and of this num- Der 3O.324 were survivors of the civil war, a decrease of over 5000 from the previous year.
 The total amount disbursed for pensions for the fiscal year was $141, ,142, ,S61, of which amount $4,- 409, ,99S was paid to pensioners of the Spanish war and $133 3,O22,17O to the survivors of the civil war, their widows and dependents.
 The total amount paid to Span ish war pensioners since 1899 is $ll ,9S6, ,lSS.
 The total amount of money paid for pensions since the foundation of the government is $3,320. .860,- OPP, and of this amount $3, 3,144,- 395, ,4O5 has been paid on account of the civil war.
 The total number of claims al- lowed, original and increase, under order No. 78. known as the "age order," since that order went into effect, April 13, 1904, up to June 30, 1905, was 65,612.

THE STATEHOOD QUESTION
Will be Made Special Study by
 Another Party of Statesmen.

Chicago, Sept. 17.j[Special to Phoenix Republican, = Arrange ments have just been completed for a congressional party, occupying two private cars, to leave Chicago on the 9th, 9th or Eth of October the exact date is unsettled, so far for trip through New Mexico and Arizona. The object of the trip will be a close investigation of con- ditions in the two territories, with special reference to their proposed admission as one state.
 Arizona should derive immense benefit from the visit, for the whole arrangement is the outcome of ef- forts which prominent Arizonians have been making for some time to induce large party of congress men to visit that territory and learn the many reasons for Arizona's op- position to joint statehood.
 The personnel will include many of the most influential members of the national house of representa- tives. The itinerary will be com- pleted within few days, and will include the principal pointsin both territories. The party will be ac- companied from Chicago by Presi- dent Murphy of the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix railway, and will be met at some point in New Mexico by President Randolph of the Southern Pacific lines in Ari- zona, and these gentlemen with other citizins of Arizona, will see that the visitors have an oppor- tunity to see Arizona and it's people in a thoroughly satisfactory man ner.

A FRICHTFU
 EXPERIENCE

Prof. McGee himself has experi- enced the thirst of the desert. He writes with amazing reality of the five stages of thirst, from four of which men have recovered. The first stage, he says, is petulant, clamorous stage,> when the mouth feels dry and hot and the sensa- tions and outward symptoms sug- gest slight fever. In the second condition the "saliva and mucuous spume on the lips and tongue, a lump is felt in the throat, utterance is clogged and cords seem to tie the Adams apple to the ears. The hand instinctively seeks to loosen the an- moving bands and succeeds only in opening the collar and exposing more skin to evaporation. In this stage the face is pinched and care marked, the eyes bloodshot and may be fearful; the movements are nasty, the utterance capricious; the sufferer is a walking fever patient without ward or nurse. This is generally called the cotton-mouthed stage.
 An intensi6cation of the second brings about the third, when the mouth spume changes to tough collodion-like coating, which com presses and retracts the lips in a sardonic smile, cha nging to a canine grin; the tongue stiffens and clicks foreignly against the teeth with the movement of riding or walking. There are other pains, innumerable, excruciating. The head is as if hooped with iron, the nape and half the spine are like swollen tumor when pressed hard with the sur geon's lancet pushing through it; with each heartbeat a throb of tor ment darts from the head to the ex- tremities with a sudden thunder and blackness. They eyelids stiffen as the snarled lips have done, and the eyeballs gradually set them selves in winkless stare. Then it becomes hard to keep the mind on the trail. The condition is seldom alleviated save by thorough delir- ium, rarely relieved save by water water in gallons-applied inside and out. This is the stage of the shriveled tongue coming within the experience of many pioneers and within the memory of some, though only the vigorous in body and we'll balanced in mind are sane enough to remember the details of his ex- perience.
 The dilatory process changes to a more rapid action with the fourth stage of the drying up of the tissues. The collodion-like coating of the lips cracks open and curls up, as freshet-laid mud curls when the sun shines after storm and the clefts push into the membrane and flesh beneath, SO that thickened blood and serum exude. The ooze evapo- rates as soon as it is formed. Each cleft is a wound which excites in flammation, and the Assuring and fevering proceed cumulatively, till the lips are reverted, swollen, shape less mass of raw and fostering flesh. The shrunken tongue swells quick ly, pressing against the teeth, then forcing the jaws asunder and squeez- ing out beyond them, reeking fun. gus. while stray drops of blood dribble down the chin and neck with soaring sensation punctua- ting the numbness. The eyelids crack and the eyeballs wear tears of blood.-Albuquerque Journal.

TERRITORIAL FAIR
To Be field in Phoenix Decem-
 Der 4th to 9th, 1905
Vernon L. Clark, Superintendent.

Vernon L. Clark, Superintendent.
 One of the departments of the fair that is attacting much atten- tion is that of the poultry, and in order to insure the success of this exhibit the management have en- gagged the services of Mir. Henry Berrar of San Jose, Cal, to act as judge, and he will be assisted by MT. J. L. Mcdowell of Phoenix. Mir. Berrar is the best known poul- try judge on the Pacific coast and was one of the judges at the St.. Louis exposition. NIT. Mcdowell is great fancier, and while living in Denver was editor of the Col orado Poultry Journal, president of the Langshan club, and secretary of the Colorado State Poultry asso- ciation. The fact that all birds shown will be correctly judged will attract many exhibitors who other wise would not care to make entries.
 "Hassayampa Day" at the fair will bring together the "old timers" of the territory, and many of them will meet friends whom they have not seen for years. Many things will be done to make the day inter- esting and some of the premiums offered will be as follows:
 For the oldest married couple who have lived longest continuous ly in the territory.
 For the couple who have been married longest, that were married in Arizona, and have lived here continuously since.
 For the oldest native born son.
 For the oldest native born daugh- ter.
 For the "Model Roosevelt Fam ily," whose photograph will be taken and sent to the president.
 For the handsomest boy baby under two years of age.
 For the prettiest girl baby under two years of age.
 There will be other interesting features, but the one that will no doubt attract the most attention will be the couple who get married that day in front of the grand stand.
 The fair management are au- thorized by the Dorris- Heyman Furniture Co. of Phoenix to offer as premium to the couple who get married in front of the grand stand on "Hassayampa Day" a Eureka Nickel Plate range; so here is the chance for some enterprising couple to secure a handsome and useful prize. Those who wish to enter for this premium should make application at once to the superin- tendent. All applications will be treated as strictly confidential and will be referred to the secret com mittee, who will decide which couple will secure the premium. Judge Phillips will furnish a license free of charge, and, if desired, the man. agement will have on hand a dis tinguished jurist to perform the ceremony without cost to the con- tracting couple.
 The contract has been let for eight territorial buildings, and the contractor has commenced work. The mining building, main build ing and stable will be constructed of brick, and the others will be frame.

YAVAPAI CASE
 TOBE THE TEST


 Graham, Cochise, Pima and Yav- apai have thrown down the gaunt- let to the governor and his board of equalization and propose to door have done-about as they pleased.
 Graham evidently did not know that there was such thing in ex- istence as an equalization board for the territory of Arizona, nor a Car like governor and an auditor with . scheme for assessing unpatented mines, because her board of super visors equalized things to suit them selves and then adjourned.
 Pima proposes to accept the whole dose prescribed by the tax doctor CTS, if they will only accept the same basis of valuations on which the self same board assessed the railroads. This does not seem to make a hit with the governors board, and they do not come through, though it looks like an equitable proposition to the aver age thinker.
 Tom Flannigan advised the Co.,  chise board to do ''just as the board (of bulldoze) directs" but did not give any legal reasons why they should obey the mandate. So the wise men of Cochise took Toms ad- wise in a homeopathic instead of an allopathic dose. They first cut down the valuation and then put on the elevator power. But when it came to MT. Hills request to as sess all unpatented claims they for got to ask Toms advice and quit the proposition cold. Yet the Mar ieopa county papers profess to be- lieve, think or imagine that Cochise actually knuckled down. Poor things!
 But Yavapai's district attorney, MT. Ellinwood, advised the super visors that they were being bull dozed and buncoed; that the board had no legal right to order the raised assessments, and the board of supervisors stood pat on their own basis and refused to budge. Wise men.
 Then comes Attorney General Clark for the territory to manda. mus the recaltricants, and much ado is made in the Phoenix press about "what Clark would do to them" But somehow MT. Clark is making slow progress in a matter where proceedings could be easily rushed with the hearty concurrence of the mandamused board. He is quoted in the Phoenix Gazette as saying:
 "Governor Kibbey, the territorial board and myself are all anxious to determine with as little expense as possible the exact status of the rights of the territorial equalizers. We are anxious to learn whether or not that body has any power, or whether it should be dispensed with.
 "We believe that the action taken is legal, and that it will be sus- tained by the courts"
 It will be noticed that Eve be- lieve;" but he doesn't dare to say "we know" In fact he probably realizes that enough mistakes have been made to invalidate every act of the board when the courts get to it.
 Assessor Birdno hied himself to Phoenix to confer with the big boss as soon as his board of supervisors at Graham turned the cold shoul- der on himself and superiors, but if anything is doing at Phoenix the eager press has not told of it.
 There is a splendid chance for Gila's county's board to sit on the fence and defer action until the Yavapai, Graham. Cochise and Pima cases come to a head and get l;ft1a ;nox popu;yo inform tion

ANOTHER WAY TO LOOK AT IT.
 The territorial exchanges seem to be largely of the opinion that it is the small patented mine owner that is Outraged" by the late action of the territorial board of equalization. We don't believe it. The cost of patenting property is about $750 per claim of 6OOx15OO feet, and as a rule, it is exceptionally valuable mineral bearing ground, and is proven up by men who can afford it. By so doing the property is for ever secured to it's owner, and with the raise of 100 per cent amounts to only about $6O per claim.
 How is it with the owner of an unpatented claim? He has to do $1O0 in work annually upon each claim, and is never safe in his own ership. From now on to the first of January, men of every vocation in Prescott, as we'll as the prospect ors over the county, have got to raise the means, and it is pretty safe to say that they can ill afford it, with which to do their assess- ment work. It is safe to say that there is not one but what would like the opportunity to "get off " by paying $60 per claim.
 The Prospect does not wish to be understood as favoring the raise on patented claims, but it does believe that some of the papers over the territory are making a holy show of themselves in trying to make the "poor miner" believe that he is being skinned" The poor miner is the one who has to rustic his ba- con and beans in order to do his work, and in many instances the word "rustle" has deep signifi- canoe. The protection possessed by patented mining properties equals next in value to any deposits found therein. The matter is now up to the supreme court, and that honor able body will get a good sound "cussin'" by some of the papers of the territory, no matter how it de- cides.-Prescott Prospect.
 Judge Sloan has served notice on the boards of supervisors of Mohave and Yavapai counties to present themselves at the meeting of the supreme court on Sept. 27th in Phoenix and show cause why they should not obey the order of the territorial board of equalization. It is real thing, not a theory that the mining companies have got to face now w-EDternriae

SHORT, SHARP AND SNAPPY.

Now that the peace ENJOYS have got
ten together quietly at Portsmouth,
there remains the question of what
terms can be arrived at that will satisfy
or at least will be possible of accept
ance by both sides. A great deal has
been said about the possibility of
japan insisting on exacting and hum
iliating terms. Possibly she will. On
the other hand she may not. There is
one common ground on which the two
nations may meet and that will be dis
astrious to the rest of the world and
to the United States in particular. If
they are willing to have the trade of
the Orient they can do it. There may
be a contest for the possession of
Sekhalin Island with its possibly rich
deposits of coal and gold but that
difficulty settled, Japan could afford to
make peace that would mean much
more to her in ten years than any
amount of territorial aggrandizement,
even more than the payment of a large
indemnity. japan is up against the
market of the far east with unlimited
cheap labor and cheap power. She
can conclude a peace that leaves the
door open in Manchuia and grants an
equal tariff to everybody and she can
capture the trade of all Japan in the face
of all the rest of the world. Russia
wanted a warm water port in the Fal
East. She wanted territory and she
wanted other things in q numbering
bear like fashion. But chiefly she
wanted the open sport. She has
enough of natural resource in Euro
pean Russia, enough coal and iron fol
manufactures, enough cheap labor and
power to make her a great manufac

There is no doubt that all this out
door life, however delightful, is trying
to the complexion and the thickened
skin and wrinkles that result from the
exposure to hot summer suns, wind

to the proper treatment of the skin
will prevent these i'll effects, and make
for both comfort and beauty. On re.

Autumn wear. Not only are the de-

smart styles, but the cool days that
frequently come in August in this
fortunate spot, and the cool evenings

French creations in materials that will
be the highest fashion during the COM
