Two New Bills
 To Be Introduced

Superintendent Millay oi the Ari- zons penitentiarv is preparing two bills for introduction in the coming legislature-one to permit judges to give indeterminste sentepces-which would give the prisoner . chance to shorten his stay by good behavior or lengtben it indefinitely by bad con- duct. The other Dill is one making it Ia felony to smuggle opium, etc., into the prison At present it is only a misdemeanor.
 The need of this latter bill was brought forcibly to the attention of the officials recently. Two men vis- tied the prison 8 few day s ago and one of them-watching his chance-drop. ped package of opium behind post. The act was observed by one of the guards, and before he knew it the man was locked up.

MODERN METHOD OF FACILITATING JUSTICE

Much has been said and written recently on the i'm provement in farm conditions by the establishment of rural mail delivery and rural tele- phone lines, thus bringing the farmer and his family into close intercourse with other farmers and families, as well as the outside world. An in teresting but probably un- thought.of illustration of the claim recently came from Wisconsin. It is said that a Tarrant justice of the peace entertained a charge against against a rural resident who failed to appear for a hearing Straighway the court called up the alleged offender on the 'pl 0 re, and the following di- alogue ensued:
 Hello, John," said the court" wish you would come down today
 "The town marshal h S sworn out a warrant against you for beating him up elec- ton day. I want to try you.
 Cant do it, judge; I'm too busy"
 "I'll have to send a consta- ble after you" "
 But I'm busy huskin' corn and huildin' a fence around my east forty. Why don't you try me now?"
 "All right. Are you guilty
 Yep"
 "Five dollars"
 "All right, judge; l il send it down by the rural mai barrier. Good-by.'

Tombstone's Fuel
 Is Running Short

For the first time since the fusl famine has been prevalent through out the country the situation has be- come serious in Tombstone to the Consolidated company. The present supply of fuel oil that is now on hand will at the best calculation only last two or three days. The last oil in sight was unloaded into the tanks yesterday. consisting of three cars. and at the present rate of consump- tion of over a car per day the outlook is not encouraging. There is plenty of oil on the road for the company, ib having been shipped from che oil islds of California, but has failed to reach Penson. A shutdown within . few days is imminent unless supply ar- rives. A shortage of coal is also re- ported.
 The Tombstone Improvement con- pany reports . shortage of fuel oil, aud have been looking for shipment for some time. Unless . car is re. ceived soon it may mean the shut ting down of the gas and ice plants.

Colorado River
 Is Annoying Mexico

In Fl Paso it is understood that Am bassador Creel's departure for Wash ington wa. delayed because President Diaz summoned him to Mexico City to discuss President Roosevelt's sug- gestion to turn the Colorado river problem over to the reclamation le- partment to be solved, says the Times.
 It is also reported that President Diaz learned that the reclamation de- partment proposed to solve the Colo rado river problem by diverting the water into other channels for irrigst- ing purposes; and it is said that such an arrangement is not in accord with the views of Mexico's president, who thinks that as the river forms a part of the boundary line between the two countries and is an international stream, any proposition to interfere with its flow or the changing of itt channel should come from the inter national boundary commission. Persons who believe they under stood President Diaz's views on tho matter predict that a halt will b' called in Mir. Roesevelts program tt turn the Colorado river over to thu reclamation department.

Continuous Term
 for Cochise County

The Supreme court now in session will either add Santa Cruz to the first district or one of the other judges will hold court there in order that Judge Dosn may devote his entire time to Cochise county.
 The matter of fixing thu time of ho'ding courts m the various counties of the territory, and the apportioning of the counties in the various districts as well as assigning the judges to them. was taken away from the legis- lature of Arizona and given to the Supreme court at the time that the fifth district was apportioned and Jufge Nave appointed to make the fifth member of the Supreme court. If Santa Cruz is not cut of from Co., chise into another district, it will be arranged so that enc of the other judges will be able to go down and hold court there for two weeks in April and October, 60 that Judge Coan can devote that time to attend. ing to court in Cochi,e county.

What Bird Would Do
 With the SaIton Sea

Four weeks ago the Oasie editor was in the office of the First Assistant Secretary of State q. Washington, the Assistant Secretary, Mir. Robert Bacon, asked, point blank:
 What shall we do with the Salten Sea?"
 To the inquiry put SO direct Mir Bird made instant reply:
 "Let the Sslton Sea fill to the level of the ocean, after which it will cut . channel to the Gulf of California, which can be deepened, if necessary, to permit navigation by sea going craft, and the United States will then have upon its southwestern border what the general government failed to get when it made the Gadsden pur. chase at cost of sl5, ,OOO, ,OOO-s sea- port or sesports upon the gulf"

Arizona Indians
 Cremate Dead Squaw

Within thirteen miles of Phoenix on the Msricops Indian reservation
 an aged Indian woman was cremAted
 last Sunday with all the rites and cere-
 monies that marked similar burials in
 Arizona in the early days.
 With mesquite cut in short lengths the funeral pyre was built to height of several feet, and on top placed all that was mortal of the Indian squaw. The medicine man of the trihe struck q match to dry grass at the bottom, and q tiny flame grew until the wood was all ablaze.
 The Phoenix Democract says that every article that belonged to the de- ceased, her clothing. female trinkets that she had been proud of during her lifetime, small household articles and everything Of which she had been possessed, was placed beside her.
 One of the male members of the Maricopa tribe delivered the funeral oratioD, Indians, old and young, marched in 6 circle around the burn ing body. their lamentations being beard for long distance. Not satis- fled with burning the dead squav's property, each of them took of part of their clothing and threw this into the flames.
 Before the body had been consumed and the mesquite wood turned into ashes. most of the mourners were clad. Some of them in their religious zeal threw on the flames articles that they valued highly.
 Following the burning of the body the home in which the woman had lived for years was burned to the ground. Her relatives immediately began the building of another.
 The younger members of the tribe, | who have been converted, are buried according to the custom of Christians, put with the old men and women is the only form of burial hat they will accept for their dead.

Has Vision of
 Coming Calamity

Arizona is doomed to get clear of
 the map, according to a Chicago prophet-and its not Dowie either, but a brand new one-who is not only
 predicting dire things for this section
 of the country, but is also handing
 out some forecasts for the east and
 and lot of other places. He says
 the earth is out of plumb; that it was
 jerked crooked by the earthquake at
 the time the Saviour was crucified and
 that it is going to warp back into
 shape some of these days
 This dire calamity is predicted, &C., cording to the Chicago Inter-Ocesn is William D. Gentry, an evangelist who has suddenly been endowed with the gift of prophecy. Net only Ari- zona but the entire world is to be in- cluded in this calamity. He declares it will necessitate an entire rearrange- ment ofpresen. modes of living, bring about complete reorganization of methods of trsnsportst on, and com pei geographers to compile new maps of this earth which will reveal start ling changes.
 That the earth 1900 years ago was thrown out of plumb is the startling declaration of Dr. Gentry, because it has been shown that the north mag netic pole ie several hundred miles distant from the north pole. When this shock happened to the earth it ,sused instant frigidity in the regions l which up to that time had been tropi- l al. The same conditions will occur | 'gsin hence this section will get an ,xt.s hard jolt.
 Gentry claims to have had q vision md cav just as clearly what was go- ng to happen as though it were talk ng place in front of him, and seizing pen. he wrote out an accurate des- ription of the vision as revealed to i'm. The exact date of the calam- ty is not given but expected some ime during 1907.

Inspection Law
 Is Thorough

The presidents campaign against the packers is at an end. The meat inspection law is working like s piece of well-oiled machinery. Nearly 1000 men are looking every day for evidence of disease in the animals brought to the slaughtering houseso the country and for specks of filth in those slsush- tering houses. Hackers who refuse to keep their slaughter houses clean know the penalty-forieiture of the right of inspection. The government is not thres tening them with any other pen- alty-merely the withdrawal of the inspectors. Without inspection big slsughterers of animals cannot get . pound of their products transported from one state to another or taken out of the countr, to the foreign mar. ket. This is in su stance what Geo P. M;CAbs, sDlct'r fo- tn, depart meat of agriculture, told the member, of the New York Breeders sssociatioS at Syracuse the other day.
 Mir. McCabe made the astounding statement that a conservative esti- mate is that animals which if sound would be worth about $2,50O, 900 sr' annually destroyed because they can not pass the rigid inspection main tsined by the government. Durinl the month of October, 1906, l,69' aaimals were converted into fertilize and non-edible grease because the. were found to be diseased. At tha rate it means that no less than l32, 0Oe animals will be condemned yesrl. and made into fertilizer and axle greas on account of the severity of the ne' law.

Poor Railroad Service
 Delays U. s. Mail

The Douglas Anne rican complains that delayed mail from the east and west IS causing Q great deal Of an noysnce and every visitor and citizen who makes a trip has a kick to regis ter against being left at some small station along the line of the Fl Paso and Southwestern wherever there are junction points, and especially where there are connections" with the Southern Pacific railroad.
 Mail from Los Angeles and from points in New Mexico and Colorado is sometimes delays as long as two or threedsys overtime. Passengers from these points desiring to make con- nections are forced to wait at junc- tions for hours and it looks as though the landlords of hotels at these points were paying the railroads to make the passengers stop over.
 In many instances trains will be just pulling in c junction point on the line and the conductors of the Fl Paso and Southweste. will cry "sll aboard" for their train to start leaving . passenger staring in amaze ment and disgust, with the prospect of e ten-hour wait staring him in the face.
 The general impression exists that the Southwestern and Southern Pa- cific are "bucking" each other for reasons apparent only to themselves and in the meanwhile mail and pas sengers have to bear the brunt of the contest. Progressive men of this city believe that as an advertisement of poor railroad facilities in the south- west this method of procedure on the part of the roads, whether intentional or otherwise, cannot be beaten. Drum- mers, ss rule, are considered good | boosters and worse knockers. and it is considered quite possible that they will spread the impression that trav- cling in this section is "sumpin derce."

According to Henry Clews, the New York banker, recent disclosures before the inter- state commerce commission have exerted an unsetting eff feet upon the stock market. He says that Wall street is becoming concerned about the influence of these dis closures upon public opinion in the United States and upon investors in Europe At hone, their effect is decidedly unwholesome, since h e y greatly stimulate the devel- meut of socialistic tendencies in our politics, and encour- age inflamatory attacks upon capital and corporations in general. A broad they strengthen the opinion that American management is un' scrupulous and not to be trusted; and this in spite O the fact that American in vestments have proved more profitable to foreign buyers than to any other class.
