The signal pull" was given. With one violent pull Mir. Ricaby brought the badger from the barrel and-broke it against chair. E
 AS the janitors picked up the frag- ments of the China bowl Mr. Ricaby stood there dumbfounded and morti' fled. It was something new to him. As the crowd cheered and ieered he left the room overcome with embar- rassment. He stated at the hotel yesterday morning that although he had been in several countries and nearly every city in America and Mex ioo, the people of Bisbee perpetrated the most gigantic joke that he was ever victim of.
 Before he left yesterday with the show he had passed out about five hl ndred drinks. If the bulldog-bad- ger fight was mentioned he immedi' ately suggested a drink, and began discussing the future prospects of the minstrel.

GOVERNOR GIVES
 HIGH PRAISE
Fair Commissioner Receives
 Letter Noting Great Suc- cess of first Fair

That the first territorial fair was fatterfns. success has been the uni yersal comment of all who have offer- ed any criticism, and the territorial fair commission, under whose manage ment the exposition was conducted, has been generally complimented. But the greatest compliment that could be received is a letter. of ack- nowledgement from Governor Kibbey. who appointed the commissioners and who hastened to announce his sat isfaction of their work on New Years day. The letter has just been secured for publication and is as follows:
 January l, 1906. Hon J c. Adams. Hon. B. A. Pack f ard, Hon. T. E. Pollock, Territor-
 ial Fair Commissioners; Phoenix,
 Arizona.
 "Gentlemen:-I wish by this means to thank you and congratulate you upon the management of the terri toriaI fair, held during the week which began December 25, 1905.
 Whatever of misgivings that may have been entertained by the legisla- ture, the governor and the coinmis- sioners who authorized and who man aged the enterprise, as to it's propri- ety. have been dispelled by the sue cess Of the first territorial fair That | it was success beyond expectations every one frankly comedies. And I do not doubt that the detailed report when rendered will show that the fiscal affairs were equally as well man. aged and are equally gratifying. If one of the results of this and succeeding fairs shall be, as it may reasonably be expected to be, the promotion of closer relations of the citizens of various parts of the terri tory, and the stimulation of emuious rather than unfriendly rivalry among our diverse interests, and the estab lishment of feeling of pride by the | people of the territory in the success progress, prosperity and development of every other part, then the expendi ture Of time ana money in the estab lishment and maintenance of the fair is amply justified.
 ''I need not at this time specialize but extend my hearty congratulations to you generally upon the success of every feature of your management. Yours truly, JOS. H. KIBBEY, Governor

 Resolved that the members of the Arizona Teachers association are unanimously and unalterably opposed to Joint statehood with New Mexico. To our certain knowledge the vast majority of the people of Arizona will never submit to such a union unless it is forced upon as. The teachers of Arizona believe that joint statehood would be harmful to the public schools ok the territory. Our school laws are formulated on sound basis, azd by | wise provision have encouraged the tanning to us of many of the best teachers in the United States. So that we now have the largest percentage of professionally trained teachers of any state or territory in the Union there being something like seventy five per cent of our teachers who arc either state normal or college gradu ates.

BADGER FIGHT
 WAS BIG SUCCESS Minstrel Man Who Pulled Ii Off Left the City Hurried
 Iy Yesterday

Although the city government has said there shall be no more bulldog. badger fights pulled off in Bisbee, and officers have been instructed to arrest anyone who attempts 10 partic- ipate in this cruel form of sport, and right in the presence of three police men and Deputy Sheriff Doyle. one of the most vicious. cruel and blood curdling bulldog-badger fights ever seen in Arizona was pulled off at the opera house Tuesday night after the Elks' smoker. Manager Manahen Of the opera house had arranged that a badger be brought from Douglas. A badger which holds the reputation of killing several dogs was secured.
 When all WAS ready for the badger to be let out of the barrel a heated wrangle took place. Several fistic encounters were narrowly averted, and several guns were flashed. Bet. ting was to 1 in favor of the badger. For g time 1t seemed as though 10 one could be found who would be sat. isfactory to all concerned, to pull the badger from the barrel. Several men were selected but Mir. Manahan re. fused to allow them to act, contending that anyone who had money bet CD the fight would draw the badger from the barrel in such manner as would give it the advantage over the bull. dog. Sanford B. Ricaby. ilteriocutor for the Vests Big Minstrel show, was finally agreed upon.
 Everything was arranged. The bull dog had smelt the badger and vas
 raying mad, and so anxious to gel l into the fight Mir. Msnahan could hardly hold him The badger too

THE FIRST LIGHTHOUSES.
they Were an outsrowth Of Beacon
Fires on Hcadlands.

| Fires on Hcadlands.
When ships are sailing upon The
ocean the lights Of heaven are their
| guides. Even in the dark ages
when the compass and sextant we're
unknown instruments, the seeming
ly motionless pole star hung like q
beacon light in the northern heav-
ems, and the rising and setting of
The sun and stars distinguished the
east from the west. When, how
ever, ships came near the land the
lights of heaven are not sufficiently
safe to guide them. Rocks lie in
their paths. unseen in the night
reefs and shoals spread under the
water, while unsupported currents
sweep the frail craft all blindly upon
these dangers.
Nevertheless, ships were sailed
along dangerous coasts for CEN
turies before plain system Of
marking dangerous places was in
vented. The early mariners were
bold and reckless rovers, more than
half pirates, who seldom owned a
rood of the coasts along which they
sailed and could not have establish
ed lights and landmarks on them had
they cared to do so. The rude begin
ming, then, of a system of lighthouses
was when the merchants with whom
the reckless mariners traded in those
dark ages built beacons near the
harbor mouths to guide the ships
into port by day and lighted fires for
their guidance at night. AS such
harbor guide had to be sure land
mark in the daytime and light by
night, it soon took on a settled
shape-a tower on which could be
built fire, and such tower was
usually built of stone.
This method of guiding ships into
the ports which they sought was
scarcely established before human
wickedness used it as a means for
their destruction. Bands of rob
bers, or, as they came to be called,
"wreckers," would hide themselves
somewhere near the haven sought
by a richly laden vessel and, after
overpowering the fire keepers, would
extinguish the beacon fire on the
night on which the ship was expect
ed. Then they would light another
fire near some treacherous reef. The
mariner, sailing boldly toward the
false light, would dash his vessel to
destruction on the reef, whereupon
the robber band would plumber the i
wreck and make off with the booty.

more than 40 cents per cubic yard.
This makes the cost only 5000 per
mile were full load of gravel placed
on the crown Of the road all the way.
How about the after care of such a
road? Here Is the secret of success,
When the first rain comes passing
teams and vehicles will puddle the ma
terial along the crown of the road in
the beaten track, forming q hard crust
as it dries, which will be somewhat
rough and uneven. Before it becomes
too dry and hard hone the surface
perfectly smooth and true with q light
hone about five or six feet long one
man and team can hone off bunch of
road in this way if he understands his
business at slight cost He should
stand on the hone and guide it by
stepping from one end Of the hone to
the other as the occasion requires. This
is very inexpensive and should be re-
Reated after every big rain, though it
will never soften much after the first
pudding. Now rake off any loose
stone, and you have beaten track on
the crown of the road, over which
bicycle or an auto will roll as smoothly
as on the best macadam road and on
which you can drive clean buggy an
hour after a summer shower without
having to avoid mud holes The only
other care needed ON such a road will
be to sprinkle very little good gravel,
shale or even hardpan right in the cen
ter of the beaten track occasionally,
according TO the amount of wear on
the road, and keep the cutters from
filling, throwing the stuff secured out
of them away from the road instead of
back into ii.
What are the scientific principles in
volved? The beaten track OH the
crown of the road Is hard crust al
most imperyious TO water, while the
soil beneath this crust and at the side
near the lower cutters Is porous and
open. cannot Illustrate better than
by referring TO a turtles back. Using
the hone frequently keeps the upper
surface of the crust so smooth that rain
flows quickly into the cutters at the
side, as 1t would from turtles shell.
Rain cannot saturate this crust from
the under side any more than 1t could
on the under side of turtles shell. |
If any happens to work its way through
the crust of the beaten track it falls
away quickly through the more porous
soil beneath and into the cutters at the
side, just as rain would run from the
under side of the shell to a turtles
back through the openings for his legs.
At any rate, the sample which was
built after this pattern and at tuls
cost has stood the test OF years sery-
ice and is still In almost perfect cOndl-
tion."
