A Saturday special from Phoenix
says:
Every county, city, town and mining
camp OF Arizona was represented by
delegates In the convention here today
called for the purpose OF organizing
d campaign to defeat joint statehood
for Arizona and New Mexico. Moth
Ing approaching 1t In size. enthusiasm,
or earnestness Of purpose In the way
OF n convention, has ever been held In
this territory.
This result was brought about BY
the cooperative action Of the terri.
torial committees Of both territorial
parties.
AS an immediate result the anti
Joint statehood league OF Arizona has
been formed, officers elected, and a
plan OF campaign outlined. In each
county OF the territory there Ia an
auxiliary league. the president OF
which Is q vice-president Of the terri
torial organization. These officers,
with J. G. Adams. mayor Of Phoenix,
who was elected president Of the ter
ritorial league, will also begin the
work Of carrying out the purposes Of
the organization.
Resolutions adopted by the conve
ton were prepared by a COMMITTEES
composed OF the members Of the su
premc court.
The Resolutions.

to lose our identity and to be merged
into 4 proposed state. In which W.

pride and violates u sense OF justice
and fairness. Therefore as q patriotic
and law abiding people we c~onfidentl,
appeal to the congress OF the United
States to avert the disaster tina
threatens MS and rather than force up
on us this proposed union to allow III
to remain a territory indefinitely.

dolls" because they represent the dead.
The reason the Indian mother carries
her doll" in this pathetic way Is be-
cause she thinks that the little dead
child il too small to find its way to
paradise. BY substituting the doll it
will help along until the dead baby has
grown large enough to make its way
to the spirit land alone. At least this
Is what the sad Indian mother believes.

WAS A TRAITOR.

DOWN IN Jackson county a man
was murdered in his own house the
other night-whilc several daugh.
tiers and one son were apparently
sleeping. On circumstan,ial evi.
dence the eldest daughter was ar
rested charged with ushering the
old man into another world by care.
fully using a gun.
The girl sits in Jail and sings
hymns and says she knows nothing
of the murder. The son, nearly 90
years of age, for fear he should be
accused, says the girl killed the
father-but declares she had good
cause. II reports are correct she
had.
But just why the man should turn
traitor To his own sister is beyond
explaining-far,her than by saying
he is a contemplate coward. II the
girl is guilty and has the nerve to
withstand the sweatbox, why cannot
the man show bit Of sense aud
pluck-and not try to throw the
girl. The old man seems to have
been no good. anyway.

BAD PRECEDENT.

1T may be a Joke on the city coun.
ell after all. When the ferry fran.
chise was being put in shape IL was
proposed To have some criterion for
the new ferry boat to he (later on)
constructed. Some favored one
thing, and some another.
Finally, il was decided to insert
IN the ordinance that the forthcom.
ing boat should "be as good as the
Lionel X. Webster" This was
done By careful questioning later
on II has been asoertained that the
Webster is boat that has been fixed
over several times, and is not built
on good lines,
oi course the ST. Johns Ferry
Company will put on a proper and
date boat, even though the
Webster is deemed good enough,

who aims To he the largest dealer on

come largely into prominence-and
il bids fair to capture considerable

IMPROVING PLANT.

the promised improvements ia the
local plant, which will add greatly

and pump are now on the ground
and are perfect specimens Of their
kind the pump having a capacity
OF 5000 gallons an hour aud the
motor being Of strength suitable
10 al every need.
The management assures THE
REVIEW that no expense will be
spared TO give the citizens Of St.
Johns the service requisite to suit
all demands. To this end arrang-
mcnts have been made To secure
one or more of the huge tanks
which stood beside the forestry
building in the fair grounds.
This tank which is of large cap
acity will bc elevated near the one
now in Use to height sufficient to
create a good fire pressure. This
has been a great need for St. Johns
and il is believed that the new
tank will do the business.
As quickly as possible all dead
ends of supply pipes will be abol-
ished-and complete circulation
be introduced. Other improve
ments are also being planned.

plus during the pas, fiscal year

dividend of fifteen pcr cent on the

steadily increased in market value
from 500 par 10 SsI9-at which
latter figure 400 shares were sold

wonder that "the ockholders

CITY NEEDS "RELlEF."


"WE are anxious TO relieve the
city, was the cry Of ". T. Vaughn
when he urged the city council to
adopt the ordinance hc introduced
regarding a water franchise.
The city of ST. Johns doesn't t
need that sort OF relief.
II was rotten scheme to get
favorable legislation for graft.
II wc are going 10 have season
of graf, let's all get into II: then
we all have a show.
II is argued that until board of
public works is created no one will
apply for franchise. That is all
bosh but suppose IL to be true
what of it' AT the present time
the city is not long OH franchises:
and there is no haste about shoot
ing them into man.
Yet IL is not true. II was not
necessary to have b. o. p. ". to
allow n franchise TO the ST. Johns
Ferry Company--at least, those
who sough, the permit did not
so consider IL.
And isn't IL odd that an ordin-
ance should be sought which is so
intricate that three lawyers canno,
explain the thing 80 that common
laymen may understand itp II il
bc an honest document why veil /,
IN wrapping Of mystery
TO create from the council a
board of public works Of five mem
bers would be wrong. II would
open the way TO too great opportu-
mites. II would he the same as
diminishing the council by two
because the five could run things as
they desired, Their meetings
would he open to none: their acts
could he made chamber pro-
ceedings.
l, is the duty of the city council
to safeguard every avenue ior dep
rcdation-not Ia cater To changes
for surrep,i,ious chicancry. Tux
RgvlEw is not saying that these
things would he done but Il is just
as well To avoid all appearance Of
wrong doing,
ST. Johns needs relief from those
who offer relief.

HOGS are steady after long

Wonder why no one has ever yet
shoo-ed him TO the slaughter penl
