Plymouth Rock.

During one of my visits through the country districts, J said the professor, "I happened to reach a small village where they were to have flagraising at the schoolhouse. After the banner had been flung to the breeze there was an exhibition of drawings which the pupils had made, and of the work they had done during the year.
 "'The teacher recited to them the landing of the Pilgrims, and after she had finished, she re- quested each pupil to try to draw from his or her imagination a picture of Plymouth Rock.
 Most of them went to work at once, but one little fellow hes. itated and at length raised his hand.
 Well, Willie, what is it.? asked the teacher.

Plenty of Raw Material.

Grandpa" said the children, "Tell us another story about the time when you were a young man and traveledwith the show. '
 "Well," said Grandpa Dutton, when I was with Nixon 6 Kemp's circus, forty or fifty years ago, one of my great acts was to get boy to put an apple on top of his head and then I would stand ten paces away and shoot a. rifle ball through it."
 "But didn't you sometimes miss the apple and shoot the boy?"
 "Not often, but it happened once in while, of course.'
 '::Whet did you do then?" they asked breathlessly.
 "Do?" said Grandfather Out ton, struggling hls shoulders. "Why, sometimes 1 had to wait two or three minutes before 1 could find another boy, but not often. There are always plenty of boys. Chicago Tribune.

Generous Statehood Provision.

Never since the formation of the American Union has there been an enabling act introduced Tn congress with a view to en- a5ling a territory or territories to become states which contain ed so many generous provisions as does the Hamilton Bill.
 The appropriations or dona- tions of lands to the proposed state of Arizona is without a parallel in the history of the making of new states which will place Arizona second only to Texas as the owner of pu bile lands to be utilized in the inter- est of her public institutions. The sale Of these lands and the investments of the proceeds thereof in interest bearing bonds will give an annual return alone of more than sufficient to pay the cost of maintaining every public institution provided for Tn the said bill.
 The $5,000,00 appropriations for the public which is to be in vested in interest bearing bonds is sufficient to take up the total territorial indebtedness of Ari- zona and New Mexico. Arizona's indebtedness is $3,O00, ,O0O and New Mexico S2,000,OO0. Thus the interest that Arizona and New Mexico is now paying on bonds now held by eastern mon- ey markets will be paid to our selves and the money retained in home circulation instead of being sent semiannually, 10 New York.
 Thus it can be readily seen that the cost of maintaining our public institutions, our public schools, etc., will be provided for without taxing the statehood bill would relieve us of one and one-half per cent where it is now four per cent.
 Hence it will be seen that in a matter of taxation alone the present people will be greatly benefited. The highest rate of taxation more than one half of the tax burdens imposed upon us. There are for all purposes municipal, county and state will not exceed one or many other generous features of the bill which will be referred to in the future. Tucson Star.

Will Not Assess Unpatented
 Claims.

Much good is expected to re- suit from the meeting of the county assessors in Phoenix. Assessor l.. W. Wakefield stated that a better understanding about assessing property at a uniform rate throughout the territory had been arrived at.
 It is understood that the as sessors will not put unpatented mines on the tax roll. The mat ter was discussed at length and it was the conclusion that it would be better in the end for both the territory and the pros pectors if the unpatented mines were not taxed. As soon as the mines reach any importance at all they are patented and then come in for their just share of taxation.
 Of course if any attempt is made to escape taxation by not having mines patented, the un- patented property will be as- sessed. The patented mines will be assessed here at $500 each. In Yavapai county they are as sessed at S750, but this is due to the fact that there are more pay ing mines in that county.-Tuc- son Citizen.

Yuma Votes s55, GOO Bonds for New
 SchOo!iloGSe.

The election to decide whether or not property owners of Yuma would stand for bond issue amounting to the neat sum of $35, ,000, bearing six per cent in- terest, was decided in favor of the bonds llst Saturday by vote of l6 to 1.-the purpose of said bonds being to provide for the erection of a pablic school building to meet the growing demands of a growing city.
 Owing to the fact that so little oppo- sition developed only a small vote was cast. Out of l02 votes: SC were for the bonds.
 Public sentiment has been growing steadily in favor of new schoolhOuse for the past year-partly because Of the inadequacy of the present school accommodations, but largely because of the persistent work of the Yuma Woman's Club, which is composed of the mothers and teachers of Yuma. The petition for the bond election was circulated by them and the signatures of the large property holders secured: after that it was comparatively easy sailing to roll up large list of signers.
 The building of a beautiful and com modious schoolhouse on the fine block IA set apart for that purpose will en- hance the value of property in Yuma at least fifty per cent, not to speak of the effect it will have upon morals and manners. It will attract to our city, also, the more desirable class of resi- dents. Yuma has taken long step forward in voting the bond issue.
