WANTS 10 SELL
 CITY SEWER BONDS Mayor Adamson Tells of Offers He Has Now Under
 Consideration,

DOUGLAS, Feb. -(SpecIal. D.
 Mayor Adamson was seen this morning regarding the sale of the sewer bonds authorized last year by a vote of the people. Mir. Adamson stated that he had an offer for the bonds on a 6 per cent interest basis, though the deal had not yet been closed. Besides this opportunity to sell the bonds. two offers have been received to construct the sewer for the entire amount of S75.000 in 5 per cent bonds. It Is not believed that the cost of sewer construction will go much over s60.00e and therefore the mayor thinks it would be better to ef- feet sale of the bonds on cash basis, even at slight advance of the rate of interest.
 The mayor thought that something definite would soon be known con cerning the bond sale. He is anxious to see the sewerage work started as soon as possible, as 1t is regarded as an imperative necessity as protec- ton to the health of the city. as well as for the convenience and economy of it's residents.
 If thing isn't true. why do you take comfort in believing 1t is true And you know you find comfort every day in believing things you know are not true.

would hurt the revenue now received in incorporated cities. There Is no considerable desire In Phoenix or elsewhere in the territory for the pro hibition of the sale of liquor, but there is 8 desire for stringent regula- ton and that there will be legIsla- ton along that line may be consider ed certain, such as preventing wo- men visiting saloons and the sale of liquor to minor children. The sa- loon license bill will probably be amended reducing the license to $500 or less; this 1t is believed would close most of the objectionable dives in the territory.
 Mine Tax Legislation
 While no bill has yet appeared in either house for the future taxation of mining property in the territory the subject has been much discussed in Phoenix during the last ten days and there seems to be a general agree ment that the legislature should pass some law which will insure a division of the tax burden on the producing mines on an equitable basis in the future. One suggestion is that the tax value of the producing mines be certain amount of the gross output of each It is agreed by all that any bill which could be passed will have to insure au increase of the revenue now received from the mining indus | try. but the principle will be to pass a law which will fix basis for the 1 future assessment of the producing l mines which will insure an equal bur

 Boykin was under sentence of twelve years in the penitentiary for murder and was beIng held in jail here pending the result of an appeal taken in his case 70 Jne supreme court At the time of his escape his case was being argued at Santa Fe, but he escaped before the result of the appeal became known. The su- preme court affirmed the decision of the lower court and Boylin would have been taken to the penitentiary probably the next day.
 According to the other prisoners the two men escaped between and 8 o'clock in the evening. In some un- known manner they secured a saw md revolver Boykin went to work with the saw while his companion threatened the other prisoners in the jail with death if they made any at tempt to raise the alarm. Within an hour Boykin had succeeded in saving out of the steel cell. Once out of the cell, the rest was easy. Going to the rear of the jail they removed a cou pie of cement blocEs from t:Ie wall and crawled through to liberty.

 The January number of Arizona Magazine. published at Phoenix, has just been received. With this issue, the Arizona comes out resplendent in new dress and headgear. Instead of the more common form of the ten cent magazines, Editor Homer has decided upon the more roomy style of the Saturday Evening Post and simi- lar publications. There are many ex- ceilent articles in the current nun Der, not the least among which is the Mining Industry in 1906." Also there are several other good things typical of Arizona and her industries. The whole is done on an excellent quality of book paper, and is a credit to the Territory as well as the publishers.
