GREATNESS OF ARIZONA
In Area, Wealth and Natural Resources - Mines Yielded SEQ, 900, 900 Last Year

In Area, Wealth and Natural Resources =
 Mines Yielded $90, ,000, 900 Last Year
 The following is an extract from the speech of Congressman Beall, of Texas, in opposition to the joint statehood bill;
 .'Arizona has in round numbers ll4,- 900 square miles, while New Mexico has l2l, ,0OO. Arizona, the smaller Of the two, is larger than New York and Pennsylvania, with New Jersey, New Hampshire and Delaware thrown in. It is more than twice the size of llli- nois, nine and one-half times as large as Maryland, twelve times as large as Vermont, thirteen times as large as Massachusetts, fourteen times as large as New Jersey, twenty times as large as Connecticut, fifty-five times as large as Delaware, ninty-one times as large as Rhode Island. It is as large as Ohio, Indiana and Virginia combined. So it can hardly be said that either of these two territories is wanting in sufficient
 
 area.
 Have they sufficient wealth to prop erly support and maintain state gov ernment? The wealth of Arizona has been estimated to be about $4O0, 900, 900. She has almost 2OOO miles of railroads within her borders. This railroad mile age is worth four times the value of all the property in Ohio, Indiana or Michi- gan when these states were admitted. Its mines yielded in one year-last year -$9O, 900, 900, which is double the value of all the property of someo of the states when admitted. It is the second copper producing district in the union and will soon be first. There are twenty banks in Arizona with resources of more than $l, 800, 900. She has the largest unbrok- en forest in the world, with an area Tn excess of 6OOO square miles and with timber reserves of more than 100000 acres. It has hundreds of thousands of acres that few years ago were a part of the desert that have felt the vivify- ing touch of irrigation and are now pro ing in marvellous abundance.
 Arizona has an educational system of which she may we'll be proud. In her American population there is com paratively no illiteracy. She has a compulsory system of education with 22,OO0 children filling her school rooms. She pays the highest salaries to her teachers, and has in her schools a larger per cent of college bred teachers than any state in the Union. She has her system of high schools and Terri | torial University.
 "She has her asylum for her unfor- tunate and her penitentiary for her vicious. She has splendid capitol and other public buildings. Her bonds | are selling above par in the market | places. She collected in taxes last year $675, 5O4.s5, and expended $593,- 7l5.49. All this development has occurred and all these things have been accomplished while she has been fettered and oppressed by her depend ent position as territory. If given the prestige of statehood and tho ad- vantage that will result, who can fore cast what her development will be during the next decade?"

To inculcate habit Of saving it Is
absolutely necessary that few dol
lars-a hundred, more or less-should
be laid aside as a nest egg. 1t Is this
amount-the first hundred-and the
habit of saving acquired in accumulat-
ing 1t that have more to do in giving
the young man financial and business
start In the world than any $500 which
he accumulates afterward. There are
scores Of young men, Woodworking and
Industrious, who have no sense of
ownership and possess no proprietary
interest simply because they fail to
make the start. In many cases this
hand to mouth method of earning and
spending is due to young men not hav-
ing others dependent upon them. While
a young woman runs considerable risk
in marrying chaps Of this type, she
often furnishes the necessary incentive
to saving.

soil, the conditions of the climate and
what seed will bring you the best har-
vest. How much study do you spend
on that boy or that girl of yours? And
yet there you might reap harvest of
JOY and love and honest pride, with
which great wheat crop would not for
a moment compare.
Were 1t only the parents who would
suffer for the improper training of the
child, we might think it retributive JUS
tice. But society suffers, and your
child suffers, carrying through life "a
distorted mind and stunted soul even
as some must carry a crooked body.
Whatsoever a man soweth that shall
he also reap" We stand here face to
face with an infallible law. The young
man sows his wild oats and thinks
that somehow he is going to escape the
harvest. But it will come. From time
immemorial we have had to reap the
result of our deeds and no exception
Will be made In your case. If we had
keener sight we might see that many
things which we call "misfortunes" In
our lives and the lives of others, are
simply the results of the principle that
what man sows that he reaps.
In conclusion let me say that man
by his sowing determines what God
shall be 10 him. Give God your heart
and He shall give you love tender as
that of mother. Give Him the pub.
lican's prayer, God be merciful unto
me, the sinner" and He shall give you
mercy as wide as the sea. Give to His
little ones even a cup of cold water In
His name and He shall give you tc
drink of the water Of the River OF
Life.

Alaska Is still a great lone land, but
with considerable railroad building in
progress it may be on the eve Of a
great change. People prefer to travel
to gold fields by rail to tracking over
mountains and wastes, and we may yet
see considerable towns develop there,
for those now in existence are In many
instances little more than hamlets. Any
place In Alaska having 300 inhabitants
can become an incorporated town. Even
these cannot be numerous in this vast
region. Congress has neglected Alaska.
The schools are small and struggling,
and their condition deters many tram
slents from becoming homeseekers. As
commercial proposition Alaska has
made good showing, but the visions
of the great Arctic commonwealth
which were entertained at the time of
Its acquisition have not materialized.

Some Signs of Long Life,

The woman who desires long life
must have eyes round and wide rather
than long and narrow. If they are
brown or hazel life will be longer than
ii they are black or violet.
The brow must be ample and slope
back slightly from an absolute perpen-
dicular. The head must be wide behind
and over the ears.
The brow must be wide and full and
well set and the chin square and firm.
The nose must be wide and full
through its whole length and have omen
easy. dilating nostrils. This indicates
good heart and good lungs.
II the orifice of the ear is low ind,-
eating deeply seated brain, there is q
better chance of lorg life.
The woman who appears taller IN
proportion when sitting down than
when standing has a good chance f.
live long. If the body is long in nro,
portion to the limbs the heart lnnos
and digestive organs are large-MoG

APACHE RECORD INDIAN..

Mexicans Killed with Arrows and
Ammunition Saved for Others.
Scarcely a tribe of our American In
dams but what have engraved their
record of crime and infamy high up
on history's wall, yet above them all
is the Apaches.
From 1910 to 1853 New Spain and
Mexico carried on sO-called warfare
with these people. The Apaches were
vastly outnumbered by the Mexican
sodiery, but what they lacked In num-
bers was more than made up in cour-
age and craftiness. The Apache ever
had thorough contempt for the Mex
lean soldier and in later years, when
they were fighting with firearms as
well as arrows, they would not waste
cartridges on the MeXicans, but would
kill them with arrows, spears and
stones, saving their cartridges for
other and more worthy foes.
when this southwest region became a
part Of the United States the Apaches
were a serious problem with which we
had to contend. Our government vac
illated between a simpering peace pol
icy and the other extreme, their exter-
mination.
Their zone of wandering being in
tersected by the international boun-
dairy line further complicated mat
ters. They would raid down into Mex
leo and then rush back with the plum
der to our side of the line, out of reach
Of the pursuing soldiers. Next 1t would
be a raid on the Arizona side and a
flight into the wild mountains of So
nora. The Mexican government at
tempted to assist their miserable army
by giving scalp bounty, and for years
they paid out their gold coin for
Apache scalps. Scalp hunting became
recognized industry. The horror of
this was that to the Mexican official
all scalps looked alike, whether from
the head of hostile or a friendly In
dian. The price was 500 for man,
$50 for woman and $25 for a child.
1t is small wonder that the tribe sank
deeper into savagery than ever when
we stop to think that the men knew
there was price set on the scalps of
their wives and children, and there.
was horde of human fiends, white in
color, but more savage than the saw
age himself, who were hunting them as
they would a cougar of the mountains.

voted TO commerce Some Americans
have confessed lack of faith i'm the
higher aims of their fellows by insist
ing too strongly that only by high sal
aries can the people secure good SER
vice from public officials. But every
one who keeps his eyes open knows that
that Is too broad generalization. 1t
is true of some; ii is not true of all or
of the most. The good worker chooses
the pursuit that his heart bids him fol
low, and gives his toll for other con-
siderations than money. A human doc
ument presented by a writer in the
Outlook bears on this question. Soon
after an argument with some cynical
friends, who believed that the price of
man was gold, he chanced to see this
advertisement in religious journal !:
'Wanted-Young men of education and
refinement to do mission work in Ar
kansas and study for Holy Orders.
Poor pay and hard work" The inves-
tigator wrote to the archdeacon who
advertised for helpers to inquire if any
men had applied for the opportunity to
work hard for poor pay-as it turned
out, board and room and about $15 a
month. The reply stated that "a splen-
did body of young men" responded to
this and similar notices. A man with
a degree from Gottingen, who has re-
fused chair in the Imperial Conserva-
tory of Japan, another who had given
up 5000 month, another, with a de-
gree In law, who had been assistant
states prosecuting attOrney-these
were among the many able young men
working for love, not money. The bish-
Op himself had gone to Arkansas for
s75 month and house after he had
refused $500 year. Comment is
needless or such evidence as this that
not all Americans are toiling for dol
lars.

PRECIOUS STONES IN HIDING.
How Gems of Great Value are Con-.
cealed I'm the Orient.


ceaIed in the Orient.
The turquoise, like the opal, is found
in the desolate and waterless parts Of
the world. The principal deposits so
far as known are in the Persian desert
and on the bare plateaus of New Mex
leo and Arizona, according to Cham
bers' Journal.
Usually the best specimens are taken
from disintegrated rock, and the min
ing of turquoise is not only accompanied
with much hardship on account of the
location, but can only be performed
with great difficulty. The quantity
combined with other stones, as we'll as
with gold, and by itself, is so extensive
i'll the cities Of Eastern Europe that
more of it is believed to be bought by
gem merchants in this way than is at
present secured from the principal
mines.
This is not strange, however, for not
only turquoise but other precious stones
are known to exist in remarkably large
collections in Constantinople, as well as
in cities in Turkestan. Persia and COM
mnnities of Southern Europe
They are hidden away in ginger Jars,
rugs, old boxes and other receptacles of
the household. where the owner believes
there is little prospect of search being
made for them. Gem collectors who
have searched for stones in this part
of the world say that no one can tell
how many and what valuable specimens
are thus hidden away, only to be
brought to light when the owner is in
absolute necessity.
Undoubtedly many gem brought
from the famous mines of India. Egypt
and Persia in the past has been thus
sccreted. Prof. Flinders Petrie SAYS
the Egyptian mines at Sinai, worked

Poison in War.

The use of poison in war was once
considered not only permissible, but
commendable, and was defended by
no less an authority than Wolff.
There are reported instances Of wells,
springs, ponds and streams being poi.
soned as a military measure. Even in
our time instances are numerous of the
intentional defilement of drinking wa
ter supplies by throwing the bodies of
animals into the stream or pond.

Much has been written In recent
years on the overcrowding of cities
and, generally, of the cityward drift of
the rural population, especially the
younger part Of 1t, and in Great Brit
ain as well as In the United States
the cry has been raised, Back to the
country" Any agitation which tends
to keep men on the land and which dis
courages the unnatural and unhealthy
overcrowding Of already sufficiently Oc-
cupied urban districts is distinctly
wholesome, but in dwelling on the evils
Of rural depopulation 1t is unphilosoph-
ical to ignore completely the counter
current from town to country, which
is quite as significant as any, other
development Of the era of rapid transit
and electricity. Sir Robert Hunter, in
British review, directed attention
some time ago to this latter tendency,
which, as he says, though perfectly
familiar in the Individual experience Of
most of us. is apt to be overlooked In
the general views which are founded
on statistics" Who, he asks, Is not
acquainted with the prodigious exten-
sion of London in recent years over
the surrounding rural districts? The
ordinary classification Of population as
urban and rural is misleading, because
many so-called urban districts have
just ceased to be nominally rural and
are, in fact, considerable tracts Of coun-
try with one or two centers around
which population is grouped. In hun
dreds of so-called urban districts town
life in the proper sense does not exist.
Railway-served districts within a GER
tain radius of any Industrial center are
classed as suburbs, but what does this
growth" of the center mean? 1t
means, according to Sir Robert Hun
| ter that large area of open country
is planted with inhabitants drawn, not
from the rural elements, but from the
city population. 1.-THE community Is
made up at the expense, not of the ag
ricultural districts but of the towns
The very growth of large towns thus
tends to cure itself by the development
of species of centrifugal force. In
habitants from the center migrate tt
the outskirts, those on the outskirts
move further away to purely rural dis
tricts.' Perhaps it is an overstatemen
to say, as Sir Robert does, that the
two opposite tendencies neutralize eacl
other. The evil Of congestion does no
vlsibly "cure itself" But the refOv
from town to country Is worthy of more
attention than it usually receives. l
is certainly true that business and pro
fessional men seek more and more tC
combine the advantages Of city ant
country life, and that, to quote the re
view writer again, "the need Of quiet
fresh air and the sights and sounds o
nature combines with the ever-increas
Ing value of land in the center of {
town to spread its inhabitants out
| wards"
