 This, in effect, was the resolution frequently heard on the streets and in saloons yesterday. the resolutions to go into full force and effect at mid night last night. Whether the clicking of the balls, turning of wheels. and snapping of cards will have an un- resisting temptation for those who take the pledge, remains to be seen.
 With the blowing of whistles, the shooting of revolvers. singing and yelling. the people of Bisbee last night at midnight saw the old year out and the new in. As the clock in the. tower of Pythian Castle tolled the hour of twelve. pistol shots rang out, whistles from the engines in the railroad yards shrilly blew and the whole town took on an activity unknown before in the history of Bisbee.

TIE GOVERNOR STUDY YING
 MARKETS
s Doing This To Prevent Any Possibility of Jobbey In Arizona By Those Who Are Making Contracts,

DOUGLAS. Dec. 31.-(SpeciaL)- Since the letting of contracts re gently by the board of control, for the furnishing of supplies to the terri torial prison. the asylum and the ir- dustrial school, Governor Kibbey has been making careful study of mar ket conditions in Arizona and some surprising results have been obtained, facts that are hardly reconcilable in some instances and can only be ac- counted for by a variety of reasons, says the Phoenix Republican. This does not mean that jobbery has been disclosed. Were that the case, the governor would have been moving in stead of merely studying It only means that in his efforts to keep in touch with conditions that he may he prepared to prevent jobbery, he has established some interesting facts, that may also be of interest to the readers of the Republican.
 A comparison has been made of the prices at which contracts were let af- ter open bidding for supplying the three institutions for the year ending June 90, 1907. From these compari. sons the following items are taken of prices per hundred weight in Benson, Yuma and Phoenix:

 As the bright and cheerful tune That comes floating round the corner When the whistle blows at noon. Slowly drags away the morning

 Almost threatening to stop; Heavy grows the pen and ledger, Saw and hammer take on weight, Rut they fall down when the whistle Opens up the monday gate. In the piercing intonatiou

Responsibility of Maine Democrats.
(POrtIand Expressly

MIR. Bryan's announcement that he
will not need To be coaxed did not
create a great furore of excitement.
1t has aroused some interest because it
brings to the front the question of his
availability as a Presidential candidate
The Waterville Sentinel apparently
feels that he is not availa ble and it ad-
vises the Democrats of Maine to go
very slowly about endorsing him,
though it cOnfesses that he is the most
popular Democrat in the country with
them. What the Sentinel says and
what it thinks goes with the Maine
Democrats generally speaking. but it
remains TO be seen wether the ire
mendous influence which the Maine
Democrats exert in the National coun-
ellis of their party is to be exercised
for or against the Nebraska candidate.
