Perhaps 10 more singular feature
OF any planet Is known than the great
red spot that appeared on Jupiter In
1878. Round at first, this soon be-
came elliptical, with length Of 5000
miles and breadth of 6.400. and the
original deep red color has faded out
In recent years. While the oval form
has been kept the spot has not been
stationary. With the late breaking
out of conspicuous double belt ON
Jupiter, the drift has been greatly ac-
celerated. and the spot has moved
westward 1000 miles in three

So Interesting did they find bridge

died down until the supply of wood In

entirely exhausted. Thereupon Mr..
Hoffman and his male guests went
out in search for more. As the

log lying Just back OF the camp and
carrying 1t to the fireplace gently
laid It upon the cmbers.
Had Mr.. Hoffman been less OF a
tenderfoot he would have noticed that
the log was hollow and full of bees.

WHY HAS PRESIDENT CHANGED
 HIS MIND7
(From fridays Daily


 By reason of Judge J. II. 9tiliwell having kept in his possession 8 news paper clipping of letter written by President Roosevelt in September Of 1900 it IS possible today to call the attention of the public Co one of the strangest of all the features of the Pre- sidcnt s attitude on the statehood question.
 In the campaign of 1900 a Republi. can club was organized at East Las Vegas, N. NJ. Colonel Twitchell, a well known mining man, was elected chairman, and wrote to Roosevelt Ye. garding what had been done, pledgins him the support of the club.
 From Roosevelt, who was then candidate for vicc-president. came a letter congratulating the club on its organization. and winding up with the following paragraph;
 "I only wish that New Mexico were to vote for President this fall. It i. entitled to statehood, and l need not tell you that all can do to get it admit. ted as a state 1 will do. v
 No mention is made by President Roosevelt in that letter of 1900 of Arizona nor does he make any mention of the union of the two territories ia one state. He says "New Mexico ]. entitled to statehood and l will do all can to. get it admitted"
 If Roosevelt as candidate for vies. president in 1900 believed that New Mexico was entitled to statehood with. out Arizona. why did Roosevelt a Pre-. sidcnt in 1905 recommend in his mes. sage that the two territories be made one statei
 Judge Stilwell stated this morning that 1t is his intention to forward the newspaper clipping in his possession to Senator Foraker at Washington, D. C., to be used in showing that Roosevelt has not maintained consistent atti. tude on the statehood question.
 While Alex. 0. Brodie was governo, or Arizona he assured the people that President Roosevelt was not for joint statehood. He must have had some assurances to that effect direct iron the President. But since then Rooss welt has recommended and urged is the strongest terms, that Q joint state be born and great political crime committed.-P Phoenix Enterprise.

JEROME GAMBLERS STILL DOING
 BUSINESS.
(Fssm Wednesday's Daily )
,romc is still an open town.

Jerome is still an open town.
 The gamblers, with probably few exceptions, arc still doing business nt the old stand. and are of the opinion that the officials have failed in their efforts to put on the lid and screw it down tight.
 But this is not all there is to tell. There is another side to the story. The city council met last night. Oi course there Is nothing unusual about that as the council meets every once in awhile. But there is not always such doings as there were last night. Members of the council were officially notified. so it tx said. and it k prob. ably true. that they had not been successful m closing the town. They were told thnt there was still gamb. ling and plenty of it. Consequently there was n warm session, and a discus sion equally as warm followed. Whole columns might bo devoted to the pro. ccedings of the meeting. but in n few words the council was pcrpicxcd. Through m informant they learned that the ordinance prohibiting gnmb. ling in any form had not been enforced.
 They also were informed that a number of gamblers had been granted licenses. It then dawncd upon them that the Yavapai officials, that is, the board of supervisors, had not been of. hcially notified of the existence of the ordinance.
 It wns the concensus Of opinion that there should be no delay In imparting the information to the board as well ns to the district attorney, and then await developments.
 In the meantime the gamblers at .Je. rome are holding forth usdisturbed The city council will meet again next week. st which time tho matter will again he ap for . discussion, and then there may he another display of clo. qucncc and other things

 When asked for m explanation for the remarkable change in the condi. lions, Dr. Day did not at once make q reply. Finally he said that it WAS s hard question to answer, and as he did not claim to be an authority on wea. th'r phenomena, only as it pertains to the keeping of records, that he did not care Co attempt it. He volunteered the information, however, that tbe sa''on sea might be partly responsible TOT 'he change. The presence of sucb " po"y of water, he said, might have " tendency to increase the moisture.
 Incidentally Dr. Day told the Jour. nal Miner man about the cold weather, wh'ch' by the way, has considerably af. iected the fuel bills. He said that on uesday night the thermometer regis. tered one degree below zero, and that U was the lowest the msycury has dropped this year.
