Turf Notes

The breeding of Sweet Marie, DOS
sibly the greatest campaigner of all
times. was an accident.
AS a general rule the stars of the
light harness world are the result of
lines. ou
1t was the theory of ,he late Sem
ator Stanford to have thoroughbred
close up, and many of the dams at
the once famous Palo Alto were thor
oughbreds.
Many fast performers came from
Palo Alto, including Sunol, who once
reigned queen of the turf, owing to
cutting the fraction of second off
the 2:0S ga record of Maud S., which,
stood for so many years.
While Senator Standard met with
conspicuous success, he did not prove
that his pet theory beat the old meth
cd of breeding trotting-bred stations
to trotting-bred mares
That the breeding of a champion
trotter is good deal of lottery is
emphasized in the case of Sweet Ma
rie.
This wonderful mare-the grandest
ever hitched to a sulky-was bred by
poor colored man who knew abso-
lutely nothing about blood lines or
pedigrees.
Through the courtesy of Ed Smith.
the well-known lightweight harness
starter of the California circuit, the
writer is able to give much heretofore
unpublished history about this won
derful campaigner.
One March morning tn 1889. Charles
Durfee. the well known driver and
breeder. left Los Angeles for the east,
lot the purpose of purchasing young
stallion. He was accompanied by
Charles Lockhart. who was about to
secure the neucleus Of a breeding
farm which he was about to start near
Burbank, Los Angeles county.
Durfee purchased the then 2-year-
Old Mckinney. by Alcyone, a son of
George Wilkes and Cannon Ball, a g.
year-old stallion by Simm1nds.
The writer had the privilege of in
specting both importations on the day
of their arrival.
Every one posted on light harness
topics knows that McK:n"ev has he
come the greatest sire of speed in the
world, having more 2:1O trotters to
his credit than any other living or
dead stallion.
Among the brood mares purchased
BY Lockhart was Lady Rivers, by
Cars Marimbo. dam Susie, by Ver-
mont. He secured this mare from D.
X. Edwards, who bred her when a
resident of Salinas. Susie was used
as buggy mare.
Lockhart did not make a success of
his breeding venture, owing to the
drop in value of all harness horses,
and Lady Rivers was sold to E. X.
Benchly of Los Angeles. She proved
to be a very balky mare and of no
use for driving purposes. consequent
ly Benchly assigned her to the sales
ring, where she was acquired by John

The Proposed Gas Plant.

MT. Seth Hartley, the gas man, took run over to Cotton, Cal. this morning. to be gone until Sunday. Mr.
 IIartley's application for a franchise to install gas plant in Yuma is in the hands of the town council for investi- gation and careful consideration. Pend ing negotiations, the work of securing the necessary 200 contracts is progress ing favorably, under the energetic efforts of Mrs. IT. R. Pugh of the Yuma Exchange and Realty Company.
 Judging from the number of people who have expressed themselves as favorable to this forward step for Yuma, there is no question but that we shall have an up-lo-date gas plant within the next six or eight months.
 There really is no good or fair reason why any citizen of Yuma should raise voice or finger in opposition to such a movement, which does not antagonize the interests of any individual in Yuma and which will be for the ultimate ben ento all. Gas for heating and cooking purposes is a crying need of Yuma, owing to the increasing demand and decreasing supply of wood. The con- venience and comfort--especia in I7summer-of gas for cooking should ap- peal to every housewife, and every woman in Yuma should be booster for the gas plant. This enterprise, sue cessfully established, will tend to give stability and permanence to property values, and every property-owner should be favorable to the enterprise. It will mean more people and more money for Yuma. It will mean some $t5, ,OO0 or $2O, O,09O turned into the chan nels of trade from the labor employed in digging trenches and laying gas pipe and maintaining the plant. For this positive reason, and for the further reason negatively that it will leopard ize the interests of nobody, it is to be hoped that the proposed gas plant will speedily materirlize.

TO THE VOTER

The most important problem before the voters of Arizona to- day is that of electiug delegate to congress by this is meant a GENUINE DELEGATE-one representing the people. A man who considers himself above the common people cannot and does not represent the people. The republican party in this cam paign has a candidate who comes from the common people, and thus being one of them, realizes what. the common people need and more than the realization of what is needed he also possesses the backbone to carry out these needs. William F. Cooper will not be.elected to congress solely because he is a republican, but because he is man of convic- tions which he will honestly carry out regardless of corpo- rate influences. This is the req son why announcements are be- ing made in every county of the territory by honest democrats that they will cast their votes for the republican nominee.

New Naturalization Laws.

Aliens who declared their in tention to become citizens of the United States before the new naturalization law took effect on September 27th, will not be re quired to speak the English Ian guage. Those who have taken up homesteads will be subject to the same exemption.
 An erroneous impression has gone broadcast to the effect that man who has taken out his first papers is entitled to vote, until he is fully naturalized by taking out his final papers and the order is made in open court giving him the full rights of cit izenship. The homestead law gives aliens the right to locate public lands upon declaring their intention to become citizens of the United States, but they can not prove up and secure title to their land until they have taken out their second papers and the court has made them citizens.
 
 Thirty days before an election. in this district no alien can be naturalized. This does not in clude city and special elections, as they are not general in the district. Judge Campbell has fixed the first and third Satur- days as days on which naturali- zation petitions will Le heard. The petition must be filed ninety days before a final hearing, and notice must be posted by the clerk of the intention of an alien to apply for final papers. The United States attorney must be notified and may appear on be- half of the government. Decla- rations of intention can be made without any notice, much the same as under the old law, ex- cept that they must contain a description of the party apply ing.

SQUARE DEAL. :"

The Gazette and every loyal Arizonan appreciates to the full est all that the mines of the ter ritory are to it, and what they promise for the future, but right there appreciation of mutual character stops. The mines ap- parentIy fail to realize what Ari- zona is to them.
 From Governor Kibbey down to the humblest citizen of this great commonwealth there is no disposition to do the great mlnes an injury, and it is a certainty that no injury has been done by the raising of assessments and probable further raises in the future to a figure where it may be said that they are paying somewhere near their just pro portion of the taxes.
 Such action is but simple just- ice to every other business in terest of Arizona and should be commended, not only by the peo- pie of the territory generally, but by the mine owners as well if they hope to occupy that place in the citizenship of Arizona which all good citizens covet.
 All the people of Arizona want in the way of taxation is asQuare deal that will injure no one and benefit all alike. Arizona Ga zette.

AN IMPORTANT PROVISION OF
 THE STATEHOOD LAW.

Opponents of joint statehood
 are telling the dear people in
 many parts of tie territory that those who cannot speak or un- derstand the English language
 will be absolutely disfranchised should joint statehood be effect ed. They will not be allowed to
 vote, they cannot become jurors. they will be barred from holding offices from district school di- rector and precinct constable, to governor and president, and in every other way will become slaves, down trodden and des pissed. This is silly stuff, to be sure, bat is nevertheless being used by those who wage war on the proposition and who are evi- dently of the belief that every thing, no matter how unfair and how untrue, is fair in politics. The fact of the matter is that there is but one provision in the statehood law applicable, and this simply says that no person shall be eligible to hold state office unless he speaks and reads the English language. This pro- vision in the law, section p, reads:
 "Fifth. That said state shall never enact any law restricting or abridging the right of suffrage on account of race, color or pre- vious condition of servitude, and that ability to read, write and speak the English language suffi- ciently well>to conduct the duties of the office without the aid of an interpreter shall be a neces- sary qualification for all state officers.
 How any sane, truthful person can torture this provision to meau what the enemies of joint statehood are asserting it does. cannot be easily explained. The fact is. the provisions of the law simply apply to state officials and have no connection with the leg islative, county, city, precinct or district officials, and none what ever with juries or jurors. The constitution which is to be fram- ed will certainly take care, and full and due care at that, of this question. No fear should or need be exercised on that point.

The governments intervention in the suit between Colorado and Kansas over the waters of the Arkansas river for irrigation purposes, is significant, especial ly in view of the governments claim that in the Arkansas river watershed it owns 100, GOO acres of unstable lands which can be reclaimed by diverting the water from the river, and also 60,000, : 900 of acres in the arid zone. This means government control of interstate rivers in irrigable areas.

Republican
 Speaking  Hon. w. F. Cooper The SiIver-Tongued Orator
Here or October IS.

Hon. William F. Cooper, the republican nominee for delegate to congress, will address the people of Yuma county in this city on Thursday, October Is, on the issues of the day. Mr. Cooper is known throughout Ar izona as one Of the most gifted orators in the Southwest, and it Is calculated that this occasion will bring together a greater number of auditors than has ever assembled in this city on a simi- lar occasion. This is not going to be year of sticking together in the democratic party, for shere are many "sore" on Mark Smith, and Mark is beginning so realize the fact the republican party has placed in the field a genRine favorite of the people, and not merely 8 favorite of the party
 Mr. Cooper has been in great demand for the past few years as an orator for patriotic and secret order celebrations, and on every occasion he has made friends by his masterly and con yincing addresses. There is not a secret order of prominence in the territory but that some one of its lodges has called on Mr. Cooper for an address, and the largest cities of the territory have every >one had him as an orator on some patriotic occa- sion. He has been ming ling with the common people great deal during his life in Ari- zona and has the entire conf dence of the voters and citizens of the territory.
 Mir. Cooper is brilliant law yer, convincing in the extreme, and will be able to actually rep resent the entire people of Ari- zona in congress. The corpora sions are naturally down on MT. Cooper because they have one candidate e-Mark Smith - who has been serving them faithfully for the past quarter of 8 century almost continuously, and why should THEY want a change? They have had every bill passed that they wanted during Mir. Smiths services and have had every bill killed that they ob- jected to; then why not keep Marcus? No one planes the corporations.
 But while the corporations are working for MP. Smith there has been a turn in the tide among the common people and they are now determined to place a man bn congress who will do things and not be continually coming before the people with apologies for not doing because some one would not let him do and assur- ing that Mr. Smith is the only man in Arizona who is known in Washington and therefore it will never do to send a stranger. We admit that MT. Smith is known in Washington, and probably that is the reason why he is un- able to accomplish anything. What the voters of Arizona want 5s a man who will FIND 8 way to do things. and then DO them.
