This is a story of that great
north country of which it has
been said, There's never a law
of God or man runs north OF
Gfy-three :" a tale of inpetuous
emotion, of brute strength and
courage, of swift and passionate
love and hate ; a tale vigorous,
forccful and absorbing, which
tells itself without fine words ;
a story of the hunger for gold
and the hunger of man for ,von,-
an, brooking no Interference or
rivalry, going straight for its OBJ
ject as did the primitive man
before the time of laws and con-
pentionalities; of civilized man
turned back to sapagery and los
ing no manhood in the turning.

you shall be refreshed and

THE MIGRATION
 OF DOPE FitNDS
They Find That Phoenix Has Been
 Rendered Uninha bitabIe For Them.

The widest, most nervous man in i town yesterday was Cornelio Con ! treras the dope fiend who was made | the instrument in locating druggists who sold morphine and similar drugs without a physicians prescription. He called at the office of the sheriff yes
 terday afternoon after having made a circuit of the drug stores aga.n in the hope of being able to buy the drug. Then he went to physicians to induce them to give him prescription, rep resenting to them that he was on the verge of collapse. All of them though had heard of the case and had refused to give him a prescription.
 His object in visiting the sheriff was to procure one of the prescriptions which had been given while he was in confinement. that morphine in very moderate doses might be procured without violating the law. Finally he was given one of them but he begged for all. saying that the quantity pre- scribed by each of them would not be drop in the bucket to his needs.
 The one thing he had in mind though was to secure from the office of Justice Johnstone the three bottles of morphine which he had bought from unsusuecting druggists while he was as- sisting the sheriffs office in that It. tie piece of detective work. He felt that his services entitled him to that much of the spells but they were all beyond his reach.
 COntreras was in a frame of mind to commit murder for the drug. He said that since he could no longer get it in Phoenix it had become necessary for him to leave and he had arranged to leave town last night He said that he stuck his head into one Of the drug stores which he had visited with the sheriff looking on and where he had succeeded in getting a bottle of mor- phine. The druggist had a painful recollection of him and seizing a club he started for the door. It was then that Contreras abandoned all hopes of buying dope without the aid of the physicians.
 COntreras says that all the other morphine fiends are in the same box and that most if not all of them, men and women will be compelled 10 leave town.

ADJUSTMENTS

With each recurring visit of Way Down East" new beauties are discov- cred in Lottie Blair Parkers long lived New England comedy drama. on this the eleventh anniversary of the plays premier. the thought occurs that of all the rural dramas of modern times none has offered such a choice cOllec- tiOn of prospective victims for the bunco man. the gold brick vendor. or the lightning rod agent as are shown in the characters pictured in this piece. Usually in plays of this kind, referred to in the Yernacular as the rural drama" one finds a series of grossly exaggerated characters. Tn Way Down East" the authoress has clung closely to nature, with the result that the play carries greater conviction than is generally found in stories of life down on the farm. Of course, there can he more pleasing subjects about which to weave a theatrical tale than that of the much wronged sorely persecuted heroine. But ii seems the lot of the country born damsels to be snared by city-bred villains with smooth ways and dress suits. and SD one must not blame Mrs. Parker for depending upon a much blamed fe- male for principal climaxes. We have the country quadtet. the snow storm and Hi Holler'' as q combination sug- ar-coating for the damsel in distress, a fact which makes her more delect- able than usual. The company con tains many old friends and the same careful attention to detail is assured as in former seasons. At Doris opera house Thursday, Dec. 19.

NEW GROUND OF APPEAL
 IN A CRIMINAL SUIT
The District Attorney was not CaptiVa- ed by the Countenances of the Ap- psllant5.

Papers in appeal in the case of the territory against Marcos Perez and Eusabio Arbiso, from Graham county were received yesterday at the office of the clerk of the supreme court. Both appellants had been convicted of the crime of assault to commit rape on Jesusa Delgado at Eagle. small camp about twenty miles from Mo- renci in May or this year They were each sentenced to fourteen years in the territorial prison.
 The appeal is based on two grounds, one of which is formal but the other somewhat novel. Lt is set forth that in his opening statement to the trial, Assistant District Attorney George H. Crosby called the attention to the faces and countenances of the defend ants and said: Their hard criminal faces is conclusive evidence of their guilt" and the appellants al lege that the court erred in re- fusing the request or the attorney for the defense to instruct the jury to disregard that expression of MT. Cros- bys
 Again in the course ot his argument Mir. Crosby again alluded 10 the for bidding countenances of the defend ants and informed the jury that men with such mugs might be supposed to be guilty of committing such crime as that which the prisoners were charged.
 The main defense of the prisoners was. that they were victims of a case of uoistalxen idantifH- Two girls who had just arrived with their father from old Mexico were attacked in a tent one night after they had retired. They Succeeded in breaking away from their assailants whom they recognized in Perez and Arbisco though they said that they had never seen them before.

Earvie Jordan Issues Letter to Plan.
ters and Bankers.
published by request Of I. A. Keller.
President Harvie Jordan, Of the
Southern Cotton Association, has Is
sued an address to the farmers Of the
South, urging them to hold their cot
ton until the price reaches the level 1t
should attain, and he also urges the
bankers and business men to aid In
this work as far as possible. Follow
ing is the letter:
headquarters Southern Cotton AS
sociatiou, Atlanta, Ca, November 27,
19O7.-In the face of tho strenuous ef-
forts of bearish manipulation to de-
press prices for spot cotton, the cotton
growers all over the South are stand
Ing firm, in their heroic purpose to
maintain the market and prevent the
anticipated panic of rush sales, 30 con-
fidently hoped for from certain specu.
lative sources. The records show that
the crop has moved freely, until quite
recently, and the years obligations,
due by the farmers, largely liquidated.
Every banker, merchant and busin ness
interest in the South should now give
every possible aid to the grewer' In
the present holding movement, until
the price of spot cotton reaches the
high level it should attain, and force
the payment of the full intrinsic value.
"The recent census ginners' report
does not indicate q crop in excess OF
IL 200, 900 bales, due to the very short
WELD in the Southwest.
"Production in foreign countries is
reported at least 1000, 600 bales short
as compared with last year. Expor 6
Of American cotton exceeded 5000, OOc
bales in the last twelve months, and
the demand continues undated.
1.-THE money stringency is fast being
relieved and the business will soon as
sumo it's normal level. Sell no cotton
that can be financed, or held, at pres
ent prices. The future strength of the
cotton growing interests Of the South
depends upon winning the victory In
the present struggle. Let every man
in the South de- his full duty and the
reward will be sure and swift In the
realization of higher prices.
Farmers, merchants, bankers and
business interests generally favorable
to the holding movement should hole
mass meetings at once in their respec
tive counties or parishes and deter
mine upon q concentrated effort anc
an effective cooperation.
Yours truly,
"Harvie Jordan,
