and risk what little political prestige he
has left in one throw of the dice for the
presidency.
~
A curious instance Of man without
party is presented by the case of the Hon.
Peter Porter, Republican member oil
Congress from the 34th district OF New
York. Mr.. Porter, it will be recalled en-
tered the race against ]. W. Wadsworth
last fall, taking advantage of the intense
opposition which Mr.. Wadworth had
aroused by his antsgonism of President
Roosevelt and his nearly successful efforts
to emascu!ate the Meat Inspection law.
Mr. Wadsworth, who is the largest prop
erty owner in bis district and who has
great many tenant farmers on his estate,
succeeded in controlling the regular dis
trict convention. Mr.. Porter was nomi-
mated by separate convention as an Sin
dependent Republican, and he also re.
eeived the endorsement of the Democratic
convention, the Democrats of that dis
trict having never been able to elect a
Democratic Congress and being only too
glad to defeat Wadsworth. Mr.. Porter
polled $4,000 votes, 5000 more than the
normal Democratic vote of the district |
and he claims, received a very large ma
jority of the votes cast. As he had been |
a life-long Republican the Democrats
were not anxious to turn out and vote for
him. Coming to Washington, Mr.. Porter
finds himself on the official list OF Con-
gress described as Democrat. This he
resents as not only has he always been a
Republican but he entered the lists |
against Wadsworth at the instance and
with the encouragement OF President
Roosevelt. Col. ''Pete' Hepburn, mem
Der Of Congress from the 8th district OF
Iowa, is chairman of the Republican
caucus and as such has authority to say |
who is and who is not Republican.
Mr.. WadsWorth was one of the wheel
horses OF the machine in the House, al
ways 'yoted right where special inter
ests were effected, which means that lie
voted as Mr. Cannon, Mr.. Dalzell and
Mr.. Hepburn told him to, rather than as
President Roosevelt asked him to, and
the Colonel and his colleagues resent the
toss OF such docile and amenable states
man. Moreover, back in 1886 an imper-
tinent independent Republican had the
audacity to enter the lists against Col.
"Pete" in the Sth Iowa district. Col.
Hepburn laughed him to scorn during the
campaign but when the votes were
counted it was found that the Colonel
had fallen outside the breastworks and
for six long, weary years he strove nn-
ayailiDgly to get back to Congress What

that there will be determined effort TO

At a party the hostess said to a guest: q want you to entertain Mir. Blank a little He looks bored to death. will introduce him, and you must try to amuse him. You know his strong point is butter, on which he has written a book"
 The lady guest graciously undertook the task of entertaining the man, in- wardly wondering that he should be so interested in butter-of which she knew very little-when his face indi- cated a mind given to much profound thinking.
 However, with butter in view, she began on the weather, gradually got to the country, then on to a farm, from that to cows and at last to but ter.

Popular Institution Will Be Sure of Large Attendance
 This Year.

 Many improvements are being made that will contribute to the comfort of the students and increase the capacity of the school. Both dormitories have been thoroughly renovated and paint ed, and an addition has been built to the girls hall, increasing the capacity by forty-eight This addition renders it possible for students to room alone for little extra expense, if they de sire to do so. The dormitory exPen- ses are S16.50 per month which in cludes board, furnished room, steam heat, electric light, running water in rooms, use of bath, parlors and pianos, etc. s14.0O per month will be charg- ed students who disire to room in pri- vate families and board in the Nor maj dining hall The military drill is the special pride of the young men and they are required to purchase a uniform at the expense of about $16.
 Rooms and houses can be rented at reasonable rates by parties desiring to move to Tempe for the purpose of securing school advantages. A. B. Tomlinson, Andrew Neilsen and R. A. Windes are responsible real estate agents of Tempe and will furnish full particulars upon application.
 Students who have completed their eighth grade work in the public schools should be prepared to enter the first year of the Normal course. This will be determined by means of written tests supplemented by grades and testimonials from fcE<ler teach CTS. Candidates for advanced stand ing in normal classes should file their grades and such credentials as they have seeeured from other schools when they make application. Grad uates from a full high school course are eligible to junior classification. It is desirable that students enter the Normal she first week of the term or as soon thereafter as possible
 A two years course in Spanish has just been introduced which will be of practical value to our students and of special advantage to those who pursue our four years Latin course. Manual training has been introduced as a part of the regular course. and the work is very popular with the stu dents.
 Most of the railroads of the terri tory will grant special rate to our students of one and one-fourth fare for the round trip; full fare to be paid coming and one-fourth fare for the round trip. Ask your local agent

PIMA COUNTIES BRIGHT FUTURE.

Never before in the history of Ari- zona has there been so much actiyi- ty in the mining industry of the ter rftory. The official figures compiled by the auditor of the territory for the year 1906 gives the total mineral output for the year at s53,S0I, ,7S1.27. Pima county's production for 1906 was sLl51 ,61250, coming from the produc- ing companies and includes the cop per, gold and silver output for this county for the twelve months. end ing December 31 dast. -
 While this is a comparatively small showing, as compared with the grand total for the territory, it must be re- membered that it is only a short time since Pima county entered the pro ducing class, says the Tucson Star The production last year came prin- cipally from the Helvetia, Imperial and Twin Buttes properties and it is safe to assert that the production fig ures for 1907 will be at least double those for 1906 and the mineral district of Pima county is just in its infancy of development.
 It is significant that the large pro ducing companies of CocnIse county are turning their eyes to Pima coun- ty and have already entered the dis trict south of Tucson Sucn mining companies as the Calumet and Ari- zona of Bisbee make a business of mining. They employ a corps of ex- perienced experts and mining men and their judgment is backed by mil lions of capital for the purpose of in telligent and systematic development.
 The appearance of HoVland and Smith in Pima county is another sure sign of the importance of our mining districts These men command un- limited capital and are at present ope- rating on large scale in Cochise county, Gila county and New Mexico. Other legitimate development com panies are employing from ten to if ty men on different groups and the mineral districts are teemlng with ac- fivity as never before.
 Prior to six years ago there was only one mining company of any i'm portance in cochise county and that was the old Copper Queen. Today there are not less than a dozen pro ducing companies employing from a hundred to thousand men. The in; dications are that Pima county is just entering into an era of intelligent and systematic development of its mining resources and we may expect to see before three years have rolled by several large and prosperous min ing towns in this county. all of them directly tributary to Tucson.
