Washington, Dec-"Nearly a year t.has passed since the election which defeated the proposition of joint state hood and l deem it my duty to re- port the fact that public sentiment in Arizona is now even stronger against joint statehood with New Mex ico than it was last year." says Gov. Bos. H. Kibbey of Arizona territory in his annual report to the secretary of the interior, made public Sunday. The report that the last year was un- doubtedly the most prosperous the ter ritory has ever known.

Many Buried Alive.

Mononghela, Pa, Dec.-Between 50 and 60 miners are entombed in the Naomi mine of the United Mines Coal Company at Fayette City, as the re- suit of an explosion of black damp at 8 o'clock Sunday night. It is thought many are dead behind tons of rock and coal, which fell during the concussion and blocked the entrance. The explo- sion was caused, it is said, when a
 miner with an open lamp, entered one of the old workings. Medical aid has been sent from Mononghela and sur rounding towns. Details are meagre, owing to defective telephone service.

VOYAGE OF 15OOO MILES
Flotilla of Torpedo Boat Destroyers Sails on Their Trip to Far East.

Norfolk, Va, Dec.-The second fo- tilla of United States torpedo boat destroyers which is to precede the pow erful battleship squadron soon to sail for the Pacific under the command of Rear Admiral R. D. Evans, began its long voyage of 15,000 miles at 2:40 o'clock Sunday afternoon. The six little vessels composing the flotilla
 sailed from the Norfolk navy yard for Hampton Roads, where the remainder of the day was spent in compass ad- justment work.
 Weather permitting, Lieutenant Hutchinson. I. Cone, the fiotilla conn mander, will from the flagship Whip pie give the signal for the start, and after other compass work that may become necessary has been completed in lower Chesapeake bay, the fiotilla will pass out of the Virginia capes, headed for San Juan, Porto Rico, where the first stop will be made.
 Owing to unavoidable delay in get ting her ready the big supply and re- frigerator ship Arethusa, which is to convoy the fiotilla to the Pacific, will not sail until December 9. The Are thusa will join the fotilla at Trinidad
 between December b and 23 From Trinidad the Arethusa will accompany the flotilla on the voyage until San
 Francisco is reached, May 2, 1908.
 The Arethusa will be the paymaster's ship and carry all the money. The f1otilla will be met by the Evans battleship squadron at Rio de Jan eiro, Brazil, between January 15 and 20. This will probably be the only time that the battleships and torpedo destroyers will meet during the voy- age.

PRODUCTIVE POWER OF
 WESTERN CANADA SOIL
Winnipeg Correspondence.

Winnipeg Correspondence.
 There has never been any who have doubted the productiveness of the soil of Western Canada, but there are sometimes found those who question the fact of it's superiority. During the past season it has been shown that in grain raising qualities 1t possessed the very best. The late spring pre- vented grain being sown in many cases before the middle of May. Yet, large percentage of that sown at that time produced excellent yields Had it not been for the frost early in August, which visited most of the north half of the continent, there would have been a magnificent yield in every dis trict in Western Canada. Throughout the Southern Alberta district where about 100, 900 acres was sown to win ter wheat the yield will be enormously large. There are vast tracts of valu- able grain growing land in Western Canada that are available for home steads, the Canadian Government giv- ing 160 acres free, and entry may be made by proxy, by any near. relative, thus saving considerable cost to the American who may have entry made in this way. Any Canadian Govern ment Agent will give you the partic- ulars.
 Your correspondent has just re ceived the following letter from Craik, Saskatchewan, which bears out the statement made in the first part of this letter.
 "Craik, Sask., Aug 1907.
 May 24th we planted Dahlia root, which we brought with us from Min neapolis. Aug. 18th, 80 days later, it was in bloom. The plant is now 41a feet high and covered with blossoms We never got half as many flowers on it in Minneapolis, even during Septem- Der and October, although we had more time to attend to 1t there." I mention this only as an example of the great productive power of the soil here in Saskatchewan, Canada.

The football scene in the last act was
very popular with the boys and young
men. 1t was well done, too, consider.
ing the limitations of the stage.
Before the curtain the high school
orchestra played two selections, under
the direction of Principal Andrews.
Between the acts the boys quintette
club and Mrs. T. X. Seaton sang, and
Misses Ula King and Gertrude Amsbary
played piano duet. All of these num-
bers were enthusiastically encored. and
the encores responded to. In the case
of the quintette club the encore proved
to be better than the selection.
All those taking part have reason to
be proud of the success attained. and
are deserving of the hearty commenda
tiop received.
The play will be given tonight in the
|. o. o. F. hall at Paonia special
train having taken the players and a
