who sells the most papers each month and makes the largest percentage of increase each month over the sales of former months. The competition has been on for several months and runs until May. For the week ending Jan. 6 a California boy was ahead with Ernest second. For the week ending Jan. F Ernest was one copy ahead with the California boy and a Colorado boy tied for second place, which shows just how closely this competition IS being waged.
 The prize for which they are all struggling is a free round trip ticket together with all travelling expenses and hotel bills. for the winner and any three friends he shall name to accom- pany him, for a tour from his place Of residence to either one of four fam ous resorts next summer. The resorts named are San Francisco, Yellowstone park, Portland or the Yosemite valley. If the winner shall prefer it he will be given instead of the summer tour. as much money in gold as it would cost to defray the expenses of the tour selected, for the entire party of four. Selecting the longest and most ex- pensiVe tour and estimating the eX- penses. it will be quickly seen that if the Phoenix boy wins and the money is taken he will receive not less than five hundred dollars and it might to- tai a hundred or so more than that
 And that is what Ernest Trevor wants-the money. The family is not well to do and Ernest proposes if he wins, to take his money and buy him self a scholarship in a good business college after he has progressed far f1 the change advisable. In other words it seems to be his opportunity for a start in life and he proposes to take advantage of it if he can. To that end he is bending every nerve. And that he is a good hustler is evidenced by an incident two or three weeks ago. His order for a hundred copies was de- layed in the mails and did not get here until all the other Phoenix boys had sold out. Nevertheless he went cut for business and sold every copy after the others had gathered the cream of the trade.
 In the circular showing results on Jan. 12 there appeared the names of two other Arizona boys but one stood fourteenth in the competition while the other was twenty-second. There are some other prizes offered for those who do not quite reach the top but the big thing is apt to go to Ernest if his friends help him just a little. The competition of course is a scheme for booming the circulation of the Post and there are those who dislike this way of doing 1t perhaps. but neverthe- less it's a good paper however it's bOomed and the prizes offered are worth while and of a nature that will result in good for the winners rather than be harmful for them.

A PHOENIX BOY
 STANDS Al THE TOP
In the Competition For the Saturday
 Evening Post Prize.

Ernest Trevor, a twelve year old boy who lives in the Brill addition to Phoe- nix, is in a fair way to earn a prize that is worth while if his good luck continues and his old friends do not forget him. He is now the leader in a competition between hundreds of boys throughout the United States, who are engaged in selling the Satur- day Evening Post, but he is not so far ahead but that some other lad may hustle past him unless he keeps on expanding" He is a deserving boy the son of a widowed mother, and the prize is such a good one that it will surely be a pleasure to anybody who can, to help him win it.
 The details of the competition are too numerous to be repeated in full but briefly the prize goes to the boy

FRANK HENEY
 IN THE CITY
He VIII Leave Service of
 Government
How He Became the Prosecutor of the Orsean Land GrafterS. His Statehood Impression.

Francis J. Heney Of San Francisco. former attorney general of the terri tory but who has made his home on the coast for several years and who has for some months past been prom inent on account of his prosecution of the Oregon land fraud cases arrived in the city yesterday morning and will remain here for several days. His com ing to Phoenix is for the purpose of arguing today before the supreme court, the -Zeckendorf case as associate counsel in the case with F. S. Ives, for the Steinfeld interests. MT. Heney has changed very little in appearance since he was last in Ari- Zona. He says he is glad when busi- ness calls him into the territory that he may renew former acquaintances.
 Two weeks ago Mir. Heney was in Washington, D. C., where before the criminal district court of the District of Columbia he argued for the govern ment the demurrers made by Binger Hermann, member of congress from Oregon, and Hyde, BensOn,f Schneider ct al to the indictments returned against them for implication in the land fraud cases. The government won, the demurrers being overruled and the case of Binger Hermann was set for trial the last week in March and the case of Hyde. Benson, Schnei- der ct al for the first week in April At that time MT. Reney will go east 10 Washington and conduct the trial for the government but it is likely they will be the last of the land cases in which MT. Heney will appear.
 T am going to San Francisco when I conclude my business here and I will devote my time for while to my own practice" said MT. Heney, last night at the Hotel Adams. Ut is much more remunerative and there comes a time when a man must look after his own interests even at the neglect of his country. My practice has had little if any attention for many months now, during which time l have been work ing for the government and this was far from my plan when I first went to Oregon on the land cases.'
 How were you drawn into the liti- gation at first?" was asked.
 Well, I thought myself under obIi- cations to the then Attorney General Knox. He had offered me the ap- pointment as assistant attorney gen. eral 70 succeed MT. Beck and I did not feel at the time that I could accept the appointment and did not do so. Not long after this the Oregon cases came
Arizona republican., 1906-01-22

to the attention of MT. Knox and he wrote me explaining that the case to be tried was the first of long list of cases and the government was anx- ious to prosecute them vigorously. He asked me to take hold of the matter and I did so. When I left San Fran cisco I did not think I would be gone over three weeks at the outside. How ever, when I reached Oregon I found out that the prosecuting attorney for the United States was shielding the big fellows who were involved when they should have been the very men prosecuted. I either had to turn my back on something that was facing me Or go ahead and people in Arizona know what Frank Heney would do. So l staid. In one week I had landed the official who was winking at the real offenders and was soon after the real culprits. How it resulted of course you know. There are more to follow among them Binger Herman, for I am sure I will win that case. But after that l can not say"
 What is the status of the case of Nolan, the man taken into custody here in Arizona near F1orence?" was asked.
 That matter has not come to trial yet and when it will I cannot say. He was however one of the small fry and his arrest was made only to make up a chain of evidence against a banker named Claude Thayer who in the No Ian case was the real offender"
 The statehood situation was then discussed by Mr. Heney. When he was in Washington he said he was free to make it known that he opposed jOinture and on occasions when poss- ible did all he could for the territory. However he said it was a grave ques- tiOn, that only the future could decide as to what the outcome would be. He hoped 1t would not pass and even though the bill passes the house he had a strong hope that the senate might defeat the measure.
 Accompanying MT. Heney are Ben Heney of Tombstone, his brother, and F. s. Ives of Tucson and his secretary.

BARROOM BURGLARY
 FORD BROKEN INTO
George Wright a Negro, Held on Sus-
 piciOn.

The barroom of the Ford hotel was burglarized yesterday morning, be- tween o'clock and o'clock and a colored man named George Wright, who was discharged from the position of porter on Saturday night. was taken into custody yesterday by a deputy sheriff, there being circumstances that seem to incriminate him.
 The barroom was closed up as usual at 2 o'clock and opened as usual at 6 in the morning, the robbery not be- ing discovered until that time. En- trance was made by forcing in the front doors which were locked to each other and bolted to the casing above there being no bolt in the floor and the> doors being of the common swing door" pattern opening either way. There was considerable money in the cash register but the fact that the burglar took only part of it indicates that he was in something of a hurry. About seventy-five dollars was missing yesterday morning.
 Suspicion was laid at the door Of Wright, when it was noticed that two of the large ornamental brass cuspi> dors had been crushed in as though done for no other purpose than as an exhibition of spite It was then re- called that WTlBnL mad been much ol tended when told the night before that his services would no longer be need. ed. When he was arrested he had about sixteen dollars in his pockets and search of his room disclosed the presence of a quantity of cigars and whiskey that curiously enough were of the same brands as those dispensed at the Ford hotel bar. Just what sort of a chaI ge will be made against Wright has not vet been determined upOn. The rrcpuetOrs of the hotel aIe not yet ready to announce what L~cy propose to do and the officers aye further study ing the various features of the Case. there being suspicion aadinst an othcT person who is neither an empIoye nor a patron of the house.

LARK! THE NEW SONG

We've marked your song for centuries
 long,
 Of joyous young loves dream, Which turned our hearts to song that
 starts
 Dear sentiments ship down stream; We've read our lays of the romance
 days
 When Leander swan the stream, But we list in vain for a single strain In praise of the great pipe dream. You've sung of the Gods-the Darling
 Gods
 And the crisis with flash of steel; Of scandals clouds and society's rouds, Of emotions that few eer feel Long years you've smote and perverse-
 ly wrote
 By the same old hackneyed muse, So for gracious sake make a modern
 break
 And give us a lit that's news So sing us a song we'll remember long, or the rich, rare realm of pipe; A strain one learns while the small
 flame burns One the great show troupes will
 swipe. Describe the delights that come with
 the flights The mind takes up through smoke; Dig deep your quill and roll us a pill Frona the wonderful land of Dope. Then sing us a lay so beyond our day That we'll cry Smoke up." with a
 shout, And thrill us with awe of the things
 we saw
 Before your pipe went out. And the while you snOoze tell us new
 thought views, And how money grows on trees, And we'll spangle your name on the
 banner ot fame Which only the pipe dreamer sees.

of land near enough to the business center of Phoenix so that a man could do business in the city and live on a small place in the country. Having this in view I have purchased so acres lying 3-4 mile west of the fair ground on the Christy road. The ground lays just right for subdividing into 5. 10 and 20 acre tracts and each tract fronting on the Christy coun- ty roads. The soil is of the richest aIluvial and of the best straw berry land in the valley. With the land there is a water right in the Mar icOpa canal and an independent lateral belonging exclusively to this tract of land, all the way from the canal to the land. I am going to put this tract on the market at $1O0 to $125 per acre for a short time. This is far below the value of land in this immediate vicinity and I am justified in saying that the surroundings are of the best in the valley. It also has the proximity of the street car to Phoenix. If you want something that will double in value in a year or two. Here is your chance.

the place of pleasantness, and all sun

ATHLETIC GROUND
FOR THE SCHOOLS
There Will Be a Baseball Ground
and Tennis Court.
The Grounds Are In Rowlandtown
On the Board of Education's
PROPERTY There.
BOYS ARE TO FENCE IT IN.


The Paducah High school is to
have an athletic ground prepared at
once for use this summer, and will
be maintained as long as the grounu
is not used for any other purpose.
Through the efforts of Supt. Lieb
and others interested in the matter,
the ground was secured and plans
are being drawn for mapping off the
ground. The property purchased last
year by the school board for a school
in Rowlandtown is the property ac-
quired from the school board and \
fence will be built around 1t by the.
High school and no one but the
school pupils permitted to use it.
The property is large enough to
accommodate regular Kitty league
attendance and the baseball diamond
will occupy the greater part of the
ground. There will also be a ten
mis- court. II is probable that paral-
lei bars win be put up, and hurdles
erected for jumps. There will also
be place reserved for track team
work and every class of athletics will
be INDUCED in.
The members of the High school
are preparing TO give another enter
tainment of some kind and the pro-
ceeds will go towards building a
fence around the property. From
present indications it will be year
or longer before the board can
build a school house on the Rowland
town property and the athletic de-
partment of the High school will use
II until the building is erected. All
baseball games will be played on this
ground and the track meets held
there also. In fact every athletic
event the schools are connected with
in any way will be given at the school
grounds.
The boys intend 20 do the greatest
part of the work of fitting out the
park themselves. They VIII Scrape
the diamond this spring and mark
OF the diamond as soon as pleasant
weather prevails. The boys intend
to start in working hard on the track
work and baseball. and will soon be
open to challenges in a few weeks
in all classes of athletics. The track

still hanging fire and it is probable,
from present indications, that it will
not materlalize before the park is
