the interest of the company Mr..

Il am in position to say that Mr..
Moffat has secured all the money re-
quired for the work to Salt Lake. This
has been done through his business
associations in the east and in Europe.
He has been able to do this and yet
retain control of the corporation. It
will remain absolutely an independent
line, and he proposes to keep it free
from entanglements in every way, that
it may be operated in the interest of

WATER CURE ADOPTED.
It Takes the Place of sedatives or
Mechanical Restraint.

New York, March 29.-By the syste-
matte use of various forms of hot and
cold baths. Jet and douches, vapOr and
hot air baths the Manhattan state hos
pital on Wards island has done away
entirely with sedatives or mechanical
restraint for the patients, even when
violently demented or in strong de1ir-
iums.
This hospital. the first pl1blicsdnstitu-
ton in the country to adopt the use of
water as recognized part of its course
of treatment, has been experimenting
and tabulating the results for some
time.
Forms of water treatment are in
use there which are said not to have
been tried elsewhere, notably the "con-
tinuous bath for patients in violent de-
lirium. The patient, placed in a bath
tub Of water at exactly blood heat, is
kept there under observation by exper-
fenced nurses and the physicians for
hours-for days if sary-until the
delirium has abated. In one case it was
found necessary to keep the patient inn
mersed in the water fourteen DAYS She
came out of the delirium, and under
other branches of the treatment recov-
cred from her dementia. The death rate
IN such cases was formerly SO per cent,
but the physicians having charge of
the experiments believe their treatment
Will save the life Of every patient under
delirium, unless some other form of in
sanity or physical disease sets in.
Under the new scheme patients no
longer subject to constraint are kept
outdoors IN tents and paviliOIs. They
are first examined carefully by a ply
sician and the nurses, who then from
data map out a plan of treatment. In
some cases a bath of carbon diOxide
has been used. An elaborate arrange
ment Of bath appliances has bsen estab-
hshed in the hospital for the full de-
Nelopment of the system.

Forty skeletons in a Cave.

Victoria, B. G., March 29.-News
was received by the steamer Queen
City from the Vancouver island coast
of the discovery by prospectors of a
cave on the seashore between Ouatsino
sound and San Jose bay at the north
end of Vancouver island in which
forty skeletons were found. The
prospectors found most of the skeIe-
tons intact. Some of the skulls were
broken. It is possible that the cave
was the burial place of an Indian
tribe, once numerous in that district.

FIGHT JOINT STATEHOOD
Circular Sent Out by the Arizona
 Anti-Joint Statehood League

Arizona is in danger and needs your help. Unless you put your shoulder to the wheel we may be forced into joint statehood with New Mexico during the coming session of congress, which convenes Decem- Der 4th. Every loyal citizen of Ari- zona should use his utmost en- deavor to prevent the outrage.
 Senator Beveridge is industri- ously spreading false information about the territory throughout the east. The executive committee of the Anti-Joint Statehood League urges you to counteract this infu ence by writing to your friends in the eastern and northern states. Persuade them to write to their congressman and ask them to pre- vent this injury to the people of Arizona.
 We are sending you herewith a copy of the resolutions passed at the anti-joint statehood convention held in Phoenix last May. Please send us on the enclosed postal card the names of five of your friends in the eastern and northern states and we will forward them copies of the resolutions. This is of vital inn portance. We urge you to act inn mediately. A word from you at this time may save the day.
 Very respectfully,
 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.

Drilling Championship

Fl .Paso, Texas, Nov. 1S.-The drilling contest between Chamber lain and Make of Mexico, and the Page brothers, of Bisbee, which was declared a draw last evening be- cause the former team struck few blows after the call of time, was de- cided today. In the final today Page brothers won, making 40 and 3-16 inches, against 395, by Cham berlain and Make. The latter teams record of 424 still stands.
 The action of the congress late yesterday, recommending that the executive committee select Phoenix, Arizona, as the next meeting place, was rescinded today, and the mat ter was left to the executive com mittee. The place will doubtless be Denver. Among the directors elected are c. M. Shannon, of Ari- zona; J. w. Malcolmson, Fl Paso; E. A. Coburn, Colorado.

TO GIVE THANKS
Thanksgiving Proclamation Issued
 by the Governor

The mention of Thanksgiving always recalls tender memories of the past. Recollections of family reunions at the old homestead on that day, as far in the past as mem- ory can go, are irresistible. The sad and the gay, sorrow and pleasure, are so blended in these tender mem- ories that the day has become sacred in the American heart.
 According to time honored and approved custom, the president of the United States has by his proc lamation designated Thursday, the thirtieth day of November, 1905, as Thanksgiving Day."
 Therefore, I, Joseph H. Kibbey, governor of Arizona, do hereby pro- claim Thursday, the thirtieth day of November, 1905, to be "Thanks- giving Day"-a day of thanksgiving to Almighty God for his manifold blessings, and I recommend its ob- servance as such by the people of Arizona.
 In witness whereof I have here unto set my hand and caused the great seal of the territory to be affixed.
 Done in Phoenix, at the capitol, this 9th day of November, 1905. [Seal] JOSEPH H. KIBBEY.

 Secretary of the Territory.
