We've just returned from Washington, The score of us who went, To talk about the Statehood Bill, And see the President. We saw him, too; he spoke to us In words both quick and plain: By George, I'm glad to see you, sirs! '' Then disappeared again. And as he went he said that life Would void of pleasure be. If that one chance of seeing us Had ended suddenly. We did not mention Statehood, joint, Or Statehood otherwise; But stood in blank astonishment So great was our surprise. Instead of coming home at once, And giving up the cause, We went to work with might and
 main,
 And tongue, and teeth, and claws. We talked to every one we met, From early morning bright Till noon-we told them all we knew, And then some more at night. We walked and talked. We talked and
 walked,
 While people from the States Began to point at us and say. They're Walking Delegates They quizzed us all about the mines, The taxes. railroads. dams, Until it dawned upon us that The meetings were but shams.

The district is in that part of Navajo county traversed by the White range of mountains. According to MT.

The towns which will be put on the line at first vii be Holbrook, Snowflake, Concho, Eagersville, and St. Johns, with local exchanges in each city.

 Federation teaches us to obey to work together under leader; to love our work. to believe and to under ktand. 1t means friendship, faith, principles, advance and liberty.

Anyway, there will be new paint on the club house and lenty of it. After introductions a most solemn ceremony was perform ed, MT. Bennett officiating (dressed in one of MT. Shields coatS.)

FOUND A SKELETON.
Florence Blade.)

The skeleton of a man was found in a pile of driftwood on a sand bar in the Gila river about four miles east of Florence Monday. An official in- vestigation failed to reveal the iden- tity of the skeleton, as nothing re-
 mained of the clothing Only the shoes and the dry bones were left. But the railroad men believe the skel- eton is the remains of one of the bridge crew, drowned at the Butte bridge last spring, a year ago. The man drowned had a high forehead, a broken nose and sandy hair, and also wore a heavy pair of working shoes, tied with leather strings. The head of the skeleton found as stated above showed a high forehead, a broken nose and sandy hair, and the shoes incasing the bones of the skel- eton are heavy working shoes, tied with leather strings The remains were found about six miles below the

A MARIcoPA HOBO.

Maricopa, by reason of being the junction point on the Southern Pa cific for Phoenix, is an objective point for hoboes and tramps of the worst element, but the people of that place have solved the problem of dispos- ing of them.
 Perry Williams, Boniface and dep uty sheriff, of Maricopa, is in the city today and tells how they do it, as follows:
 When we. saw them gathering in too large a bunch We arrested the loudest mouthed in the bunch. He proceeds to get indignant, and de- mands a jury trial and a lawyer.
 After he has asked for all he wants, we take him down the track a short distance and chain him to a rail, half buried in the ground. We keep him there over night. and in the morning he has forgotten all about the jury and the lawyer.
 "A trial is held and We give him thirty days in the county jail or thirty minutes to get out of town. They most all get out in almost as many seconds. The rest of the bunch fol- low him out of town.
 Those who are foolish enough to take the thirty days are taken back and chained to the rail. They stand it about an hour and then plead to be given a chance to make their es- cape. We give it to them"
