COMPLETE REGISTRATION
 BECOMING PROBABLE
A Plan Proposed for a Better Listing
 of Voters.

Now that it is apparent that the fed eraI government will pay for the regis tration in this and other counties in the two territories, the indications be- gin to grow that there will be a genuine and complete registration. No reason able excuse can now be offered for a slipshOd supplemental registration.
 Some suggestions are being offered for the manner of conducting a regis tration which would be a decided inn provement on the way it has been done. The law does not especially provide for the carrying out of these sugges- tions, still the matter is left in the hands Of the recorder. Instead of ap- pointing registration officers to pick up voters on the streets or wherever they might be found,a it has been proposed that the recorder appoint deputies in each voting precinct and instruct them each to look after the voters of his own precinct; that the deputies hold forth in some school house or other convent ent place, where the voters may come to be registered. If it Were understood that an arrangement of this kind should be made, the. politicians of each party would see that the voters were brought out.
 Tn this way there would be no double registrations and the exact location of every voter would be determined at the time of his registration. Hitherto the same voter has frequently been regis tered by two or more officers. He would forget that he had already been registered. It has often happened that men have been registered who ought not to have been. The officer may not have known them when he listed them.
 Often, too. officers under the old sys- tenn would register a voter living in an outside precinct who happened to be in town. They would endeavor to find out in which precinct he belonged. The voter himself would not know the num- Der of it. He could only tell on what road he lived and where he had been in the habit of voting. Thus when the great register was made up he would have no definite place in it.
 There is too long a time for registra- ton. The very length of it makes vot- CTS apathetic. Unless they happen to meet an officer they put off the busi- ness of registering from time Sto time, there being so much time, that finally their names would not be found on the great register at all.

SCHOOL CENSUS
 FOR THE YEAR 1906
Showing Gain and Loss In Each of
 the Thirteen Counties.

Territorial School Superintendent R. L. Long has received the figures from all the counties for this years school census. The figures show that the population of the territory is rapidly increasing, as the increased enrolment over last year is $40. There are some disappointments, however, and unex- pected results. There was an increase of school population in eight counties and a decrease in five counties, show ing a shifting about of the population. The most surprising result is in Pima county, which lost 4S2 children of school age during the year, if the cen sus was properly taken. The largest increase was 8SS, in Cochise county; Marieopa county, however. still has the largest total of school population, with Cochise second. Graham county is among the losers, and it is supposed that many Graham county people have moved to Giia county since the boom started. Following are the figures by counties:

ROBBED IN DAYLIGHI
 SANTA EE STATION
BOId Burglar Breaks Into Ticket
 Office During Noon Hour.

For the second time in its history
 the ticket office at the Santa Fe depot | in this city has been burglarized and
 small amount of money taken. This latest offense was committed yester- day during the noon hour. a broad daylight affair that stamps the crimi- nal as a man of unusual nerve, or a | fool, or perhaps both. The many
 chances of his being caught in the act
 suggests his nerve but the improba- bility of his securing a large amount of money indicates his mental weak ness.
 Claude. Baird. the day ticket clerk and agent, had locked the office for the noon hour and gone to his dinner. He
 was away from the depot oniy about
 half an hour and when he returned he found that some one had pried open the lock on the door leading from the waiting room into the office and with the same instrument had pried open the cash drawer and taken the greater part of it's contents. That the thief was in a hurry is evidenced by the fact that he left the small change and overlooked a couple of silver dollars in the back part of the drawer. The amount taken was not made public but it is reported that it was under twenty dollars. No great amount of money is ever permitted to remain in the cash drawer and there is a big safe in the room in which valuable papers or any possible surplus funds may be kept. It is likely that hereafter all the money will be locked up when the office is vacated. No effort was made yester- day to break into the safe, the burglar recognizing that he would not have time to accomplish much in that di- rectiOn. Most of the ticket sales are made at the uptown office so there is never a great amount of money on hand.
 As soon as the robbery was discov- cred yesterday the police and sheriff,s office were notified and they reported promptly but so far no clue to the identity of the robber has been found, or if found it has not been made public.
 While the depot is not situated in a very lively part of town except during the hours of arrival and departure of trains, it is still anything but isolated. There are several trains going and coming during the day and there is a hotel on one side of the depot a few yards distant and a saloon half block to the west. It is seldom more than a few minutes between the passage of one pedestrian or another, even on the dullest days. But yesterday seemed to be a particularly dull one or else the passersby were not observant.
 The former robbery referred to above occurred about a year ago and while the thief did not get a large amount of money it is suspected he did better than yesterdays bandit in q financial way.

NEW SPIRIT IN EUROPE.
Outstanding of Their Proper
Relations.

Reports from across the water indi-
cate that the spirit of Cancellation is
prevalent in the various capitals. A
year or more ago the British and the
French settled a lot of perplexing
questions for themselves when they
agreed TO a treaty recognizing the
rights of the British in Egypt and the
interests of France in Morocco, and
mutually agreeing to use all their
diplomatic influence to protect those
rights and interests, says Youths
Companion
This limited alliance between France
and Great Britain, indicating as it did
q friendly feeling between the two
powers, was one Of the most important
diplomatic event in recent European
history. When Germany sought to re-
view that treaty SO far as it affected
Morocco, and the conference at AL
geciras was held. the British sustained
the French as they had agreed to do,
and the Russian in pursuance of their
general treaty of alliance with France
also voted with the French. Thus
Russia really voted to sustain the Brit
'sh rights in Egypt, and there existed
for the time being an alliance be-
tween Russia, Great Britain and
France.
Now II is announced hat the British
and Russians are trying to come to an
understanding over their respective
spheres Of influence in Persia, the
British 10 have the southern half and
The Russians the northern. Germany
Is let ont Of this matter, as it was
left out Of the negotiations concerning
Morocco. Indeed, It is suspected that
one Of the reasons for the contem-
plated understanding lies in the desire
Of the British and the Russians to
check the advance Of German interests
In the nsighborhood Of the Persian
gulf.
The readjustment of the relations of
the powers Is important. The settle
ment of their differences, and by treaty
or conference instead of by war, is,
however, much more important to
note. for 1t is a sign Of growing civil
ization.

Trolley Line for
Rural Mail Box

Patrons of rural outes living some
distance back from the road will find
a trolley for drawing the mail box TO
the house and sending it back again q
great convenience. The illustrations
show such a line, which was devised
by a correspondent of the Rural New
Yorker.
At the house end Of the line a stout
post is set in the ground and a bicycle,
with saddle and front wheel removed,
is fastened with pins against the post,
as shown Gig. u, to serve as motive
power. For the main wire No. 8 is the
size used, and No. II galvanized for
the belt wire. For a short line on level
ground broom wire would do.
Posts are set every 80 or go yards
between the house and the road ends
of the line. Each of these intermedi-
ate posts has a bracket Cd, Fig. y of
