SHUTS OUT
FIREARMS

LONDON, Aug. 18.-Through
the Foreign office the board Of
trade has received a copy of a note
from the Russian Ambassador to
the effect that the clandestine i'm
portation into Russia by sea Of
arms, ammunition, and explosives,
was assuming considerable proper
tions, and the ordinary customs
vigilance was no longer sufficient
to check it. Suspected vessels will
be seized by Russian warships and
searched.

EXPLAIN?

Here is a conundrum and the
fans wish someone would explain
how Butte came to win the game.
After a glance at the score it
seems impossible to explain unless
one was at the "ringside." Spokane
got II hits, two Of them good for
1.-TWO sacks; Butte got four dinky
Ahits, and that was all; Spokane
made two errors and Butte one.
With that kind of a showing how
in blazes did Butte win by score
of to 1?
There surely must have been a
lack of team work on the part OF
the Indians. Strange, but reports
don't blame it onto the umpire
However, the boys have something
coming for having the nerve to
stick 1t out.

Few business men have more Ia
contend with than an editor. The
only means the editor has of making
a living for himself and family is by
selling space in the columns of his
paper. His newspaper columns are
the same to him as the shelves Of
dry goods are TO merchant No
one thinks Of asking the merchant
to give him the dry goods from his
shelves. but few they are who hesi-
tate TO ask the editor to give them
few columns free in his paper.

The smaller checks made out BY
President Roosevelt are often never
cashed. recipients retaining them as
a treasured heirloom. In this way
the president saves hundreds of dol
lars annually. The only way an
editor can save money is when the
bank notifies him that his account is
overdrawn. and to get busy. An

Work was commenced this week
on the new Ration tunnel. The new
tunnel will be considerably lower
than the one now in use and will be
one mile long Electric drills will
be used to do the work and the bore
will cost the company over $1,000
Oco. This does not look as though
there was much foundation for the
bugaboosabout the Santa Fe aban-
doning the line across the Ration
range and using the Belen cutoff
altogether for transcontinental traf-
fic. The fact that contracts for the
new tunnel have been let is sufti-
cient proof that the Santa Re will
continue to send its California busi-
ness through Colorado. La Junta

notwithstanding.

from these figures. It is shown that on June 30 of this year. Arizona depos- its amounted to almost $14,000,G00 while those of New Mexico at the same time were almost s12,000,000. New Mexico claims a population of S37,0O0. That claim is made by the joint statistics of both territories. En- thusiastic Arizonans believe that this territory has population of 1S0,000.
