LACK OF TRANSPORTS.
General Stan Declare II to Be Seri-
Gus Danger.

Nashington.-A remarkable eNposi-
non of the fatal weakness of the army
transport resources in case OF war is
contained in paper prepared by the
general staff, transmitted by Secretary
lat TO Senator Gallinser, chairman OF
me merchant marine commission in
charge of the shipping bill now pend
ing before the Senate. In the course
OF It's work in preparing in time of
peace for war, the general staff dis
covered that even the present limited
military force could not be transported
over the sea in case of war with Il for
elgn country or to defend our inSular
possessions, unless there should be an
lmmedite and great increase in the
number of American steamships suita-
bic for transport service. 1t is pointed
out that foreign shipping could not be
drawn upon i'll time of war, because OF
the neutrality laws, so that under pres
ent conditions the quick first blow, so
Very increasingly important. cannot be
struck at all"
The report frankly critices the San
tiago expedition of 1895. Every Amer
lean vessel that could be obtained in
The Atlantic ports during the twenty
days following the declaration of war
sells averaging $500 tons, only two of
them over 1900 tons. The official
records afford ample evidence that the
safe arrival was due to the good for
tune of continued fine weather"
The report declares that no such
feet as would be needed for an over
seas expedition could be furnished out
Of The present resources of the Amer
lean merchant marine
In short, to strike the quick blow
Of force corresponding to our pefma-
nent military establishment would re-
qnire practically all the American
shipping of suitable character in At
lantic waters and more than the en-
tire tonnage in Pacific waters. There
needs no argument to show that this
transport service could not be pro-
cured in fifteen days. 1t is doubtful
whether it could be prepared at all,
except by impressment and in pc
IiOd of six months or more"

Trout for south America.

Leadville. Colo-George Tulian
chief of fish culture of the Argentine
Republic, has arrived in Leadville TO
secure $4,000 brook trout eggs from the
government hatchery near this city
The eggs will be shipped to Argentine
to be placed in public streams. He
said that Leadville eggs give better re-
suits than any other eggs in the world
The water conditions, he said, seem
to have a peculiar effect and higher
Matching average can be secured from
eggs obtained here than from any
other place.
This is the second shipment of
brook trout from the Leadville hatch
cry to Argentine. The first shipment
was two years ago and loss of one per
cent was sustained Fish from those
eggs are now fourteen inches long.

Washington.-A statement prepared
by P. v. Degraw, fourth assistant post
master general regarding the opera
tions of the rural free delivery service
since it's establishment up to January
l. 1906. shows that the total number
of petitions received and referred was
81 $50, of which 1925 were acted upon
adversely. The number of routes in
operation at the date named was 34.-
677. More than one billion pieces of
mail we're handled by rural carriers

costing a little less than III cents.

Colorado Soldiers Home.

Denver.-L. II. Cheney, president OF
the board of control of the Soldiers
and Sailors Home at Monte Vista, has
filed his annual report with Governor
Mcdonald. Its most notable feature
is the increase shown in the popula-
tion of the home. In 1900 there were
173 old soldiers and sailors resident of
the institution. In 1901 the popula-
ton was 172; in 1902, 170 1903,
191; 1904, 2O2. while in 1905 the num-
Der rose to 21S. For last year there
was spent for maintenance $37,306.21,
and tor Improvements $13,95544. A
new administration building was
erected and other improvements made
The health of the inmates is reported

Cleveland Brokers Forgeries.

Cleveland-The Cleveland Pain
Dealer says: Leland Prior's forgeries
thus far brought to light amount to
$500 900. They consist of two issues OF
$3.50 900 of Alpena. Michigan. bonds:
one issue of $100.0 900 of Canton, Ohio.
bonds and one issue of 100000 Of
South Sharon. Pennsylvania. bonds.
These securities were so distributed
among various large banks as coflat-
teral that the loss to the various banks
will be but trifling and wholly unim-
portant.
In well informed financial circles It
is believed that the liabilities of Deni-
son, Prior & CO., will aggregate not
less than $1.200,00O and that possibly
the sum may be as high as 1880. 600.

Harvard Aboiishes Football.

Boston-Football has been abol.
ished at Harvard, pending a reform
in the game that will be acceptable
to the board of overseers. according to
an official announcement from the uni.
versity.
The dicontinuance of the game is a
result of vote taken last week at a
secret meeting of the board of over
seers. when it was decided that inter-
collegiate football at Harvard would
not be permitted until the rules and
regulations had been so changed and
amended as to remove what the over.
seers regarded as the evils OF the pres.
ent game.

Arizona republican., 1906-07-09

read that President Roosevelt said that if Arizona did not accept joint statehood now she would not have a chance again for fifteen years" What does President Roosevelt know about it? He has proven that he does not understand the spirit of Arizona, and fifteen years is nothing compared with hated alliance.
 Last Friday we spent in Boston. I was having my eyes examined by Dr. John Morgan, the famous oculist pat ronized by President Roosevelt. He is a widely informed man and seemed to know all about Arizona and her re- sources, with the exception of our os- trich interests. He was eager to hear all about them, and for fear I might not bave given information correctly, wish some one interested in the busi- ness would send me some reading mat ter, if they have any at their disposal. You know. I aim to be an Arizona booster while on the road this summer. Dr. Morgan paid some fine tributes to the west. He said he had never met a mean person from there. He likes the breadth of generosity, the makeup of the western man. We also visited MT. Henry H. Harper, publisher and treas urer of the Boston BibliOphile society. He is a most delightful man to meet very prepOSsessing to look upon. He is tall and finely built, clear cut and handsome features, face strongly intel lectual. He gives one a warm wei come and leads into a natural, easy conversation. He soon lets you know he is a western man by birth; has in terests in old Mexico and Nebraska, and loves the wide eXpanse of the Pa cific coast as he loves his life. Miss Anderson is a member of the BibliO- phile society. which is limited to 500 members, and many on the waiting list
 This same day We dined a the Hotel TOuraine. Soon after we were seated whom should we see enter the dining room but our own Judge Kent of Ari- zona. Judge Kent and his mother at tended the Harvard commencement Just as we were leaving the hall a very charming young lady approached me with such a cordial greeting; 1t was Miss Page, who spent some time during the last term of the legislature at the Hotel Adams with her brother. Miss Page had come down from her Yer mont home to attend the Wellesley commencement.
 Last evening Mrs. NJ. H. Duncan spent the evening and took tea with us. She was part of one winter in Phoenix, the guest Of the AnderSonS- She loves to talk about that visit and the good time she had Yesterday af- ternoon. while out driving. we met MT and Mrs. Gordon Tweed in their big machine MT. Tweed was his own chauffeur. and on the back seat sat Boots and Riley with the dignity of two young princes of the royal blood. Lowell was the home of both MT. and Mrs. Tweed. It seems to me when I take a long journey. no matter in what direction, l meet some one from my own city. all full of enthusiasm and joy and glad they live in the west and in the great Salt River valley.

Kindergarten department of the State Normal school and the kindergartner from Phoenix, Ariz. I spent one morn ing in the Bartlett Kindergarten, the afternoon at the Normal training close when Miss Devereaux had the large class play games for me. l am so grateful to have had this opportunity to meet the far east kindergartner and to see her in her work. They have wei comed me with open interest and marked hospitality.
 Now, if you think the east is not in terested in Arizona, just come on and meet the people of affairs and hear the keen interest expressed. I am sur prised. at their knowledge of Arizona quite different from two years ago. Why? We have been such a topic of discussion in the past congress at Washington that all readers of the pa pers know about our splendid delega- ton sent there; of their determination to give to the world the true knowl- edge of our territory. They were men physically and mentally great; men not afraid; men armed with proof of their truth. Arizona is grandly posed before the world at large today.
 Coming up in the cars the other eve ming, one of our neighbors was reading the evening paper. Turning to us he said: Here is a bit of Arizona news.

Lowell Mass. July 2.-(SpeciaI Cor respondence of The Republican.)- There are so many interesting things in and about this. old city of Lowell that I scarcely know how to eliminate as l look over my notebook I am sorry to be limited as to space yet glad that our Arizona Republican is growing so fast that the present press is not equal to its demands. This bit of truth scores another for Greater PhoeniX-a newspaper of which the west may be proud; that paper the Arizona Republican, Nature has ex- pressed herself in infinite variety as I look from my windows over New Eng lands hills and forests. The great elms everywhere typify the age and strength and services of old New Eng land The beautiful Merrimac river. at the foot of the slope at the back of the grounds surrounding this house, goes rolling by, singing her never ceas- ing song of service. In her onward march to the sea the old settlers rec ognized this power, and that is why Lowell is called the Spindle City" the "Old Mill Town" The whole world knows of her cotton fabrics In the early days of Lowell the best young girls and women of the town wOve into these fabrics. thoughts beautiful. Here Lucy Larcum, to the rhythm of the river and the spinning of her cotton thread created those poems that are to live through all eternity She the mill girl dignified her labors by doing her very best with her hands while God was filling her mind with a rich and rare intelligence and fitting her for

place in the worlds hall of fame. Just above us the Concord empties into the Merrimac, and their two songs pass under my window in sweet harmony
 Lowell is also noted for her patent medicines and her perfumes. Not far away is the old home of the Ayers. and who has not heard of Ayers sarsapar- fila and Ayers pills? Topping the splendid hill on Andover street, where the outlook is most beautiful and the Merrimac the most charming. you will find the palatial homes of Lowell and at it's very crest the Anderson resi- dence. On one side are domiciled the Hoods, also of sarparilla fame. and, all most as famous, their Jersey farms and dairies. These beautiful Jersey cows are treated as though they were hu- man-better than some children; for they do n9t know what it is to be un- kempt or hungry or hurt. Perhaps the Hoods greatest source of income is from their Berkshire hogs. On the other side of us live the owners of the big factory of Hoyt's German cologne.
 You will find a different class of peo- pie from that of Lucy Larcum's time, now working in the factories of Lowell. All nationalities of the world are here. and strongest among them are the French and Irish. They are so great in number that the town is Cath ollie. Their churches are the largest and most numerous. That brings to my mind the interesting and unique festivities of June 22d. It was St Johns day fete. The parade of nu- merous floats was very much after the style of the Mardi Gras and the St Louis Yelled Prophets. This one is distinctly French and Catholic.
 l reached here in time for Lowells commencements Most interesting to me was the Normal school commence ment, with public exercises in the af- tcrnoon and reception and dance in the evening.

 Fourth: The time of commencement of this corporation shall be the date of the filing of these articles of incorpora- ton in the office of the auditor of Ari- zona and the termination thereof shall be twenty-five years thereafter.
 Fifth: The affairs of this corpora tion shall be conducted by a board of directors consisting of not less than three persons, who shall be elected an nually on the fourth Wednesday of May of each year.
