"UPoN the very first page, in the very first book of the Bible," re marks Joaquin Miller, "I read that in six days God made the heavens and earth, and the waters under the earth, with everything therein. including man; and then He rested on the seventh day. Upon the eighth day He made woman. And have searched that book from lid to lid; yet nowhere can find any assertion, or even intimation, that either God or man ever has rested since."

Col. HENRY WATTERsoN, of the Courier-Journal, who arrived from the east last Sunday, is already up to his chin in politics. In an interview with the New York Herald he says that Governor Hughes of New York, is going to be the next president, and is so positive of it that before leaving Paris he posted bet on Hughes of a hundred to one. He declares that Bryan IS the only man the democrats can nominate, and that he can not be elected because "the country is not yet ready to be Mexicanized." For the same req son-that is, that the country is not ready to be Mexicanized, he says the republicans will not put up Roosevelt. An attempt to put d man in for third term, he says, would. be an attempt at Mexicani- zation. and the people will not stand for it." Taft and Foraker. he thinks, will kill each other, and Hughes will have the field practi- cally to himself. The chances of a dozen others who have been mentioned are not worth con- sidering.

Good Advice

It was Dwight L. Moody who told story about man who took beautiful white rose, tore the leaves into fragments and tossed them upon the breeze. Some of the leaves were blown into a mud hole, some were scattered upon the waters of a lake, and some were caught up into the air and carried far out upon the desert. Then the man told his little son to gather up the leaves and bring them all back to him as white and stainless as when they were cast away. When his son expressed his in- ability to secure them and stated that some of them had already been mired in the black mud, his father said.
 "Remember the lesson, my son, and never speak i'll of a woman. Your words will gather force as they circulate and when you find that you have made misstatements they will have fallen in such places that the beautiful flower has been sullied and it's leaves soiled beyond your power to cleanse by a retrac tion of your statements"

LOWEST NOT ALWAYS BEST

The following is contained in a special from Prescott to the Phoe nix Republican:
 In an opinion rendered in the case of the News-Herald Co.,, on a writ of certiorari sued out against the board of supervisors of Yavapai county to show cause why a con- tract entered into between the board of supervisors and the Journal Miner should not be dis solved, Judge Sloan held that the board had acted within it's power in giving the Journal Miner the contract even though it was high CT bidder than the News Herald.
 The News Herald Co.,, through Mrs. A. H. Hammer, raised the point that the law had not been complied with in mailing notices inviting bids to different papers of the county. Attorney Morrison, for the board, pointed out the fact that the board had advertised for bids in the official paper; that Mrs. Hammer at that time, had the official paper and therefore had ample notice. Mir. Morrison was sustained.
 The plaintiff alleged that, as the contract had not been let to the lowest bidder, she and other property owners were damaged thereby. MT. Morrison showed that Mrs. Hammer was not on the assessment roll, and was therefore barred from setting up claim as a taxpayer. MT. Morrison was sustained.
 The plaintiff alleged that, as the contract was let for a lump sum, it was impossible to tell therefrom whether the price to be paid was in excess of the rates authorized by the statute or not. MT. Morrison argued that the plaintiffs inability to determine that question was not a matter for the courts consider ation. He was upheld by Judge Sloan. Judge Sloan also held that the board of supervisors, in deter mining who was the best responsi ble bidder" as the notices for bids read, was not exercising 2 judicial function, and therefore no judicial hearing or inquiry was necessary preliminary to making an award, but that they could give the con- tract 10 the bidder deemed "best," whether lowest or highest.

UNDER the new law whiskey must be labeled. If 1t is the "real thing" it will be labeled straight whiskev." If it is blended the la bel must state the fact. Ii mixed with ethyl alcohol the label will declare it mixture, and if imita- tion whiskey it will be marked plainly to be an imitation. And by judicious piking of the brands a man can gradually work himself up to drinking pure whiskey and liking that kind.

THE prospector is not supposed
 to be either geologist or an engineer. therefore the law requires him to locate his claim along the course of the vein at the surface, and not on the true strike as it would be proved by a tunnel run on the vein. Where veins dip less than sixty degrees from the hori
 zontal and the country is cut by abrupt gulches OF canyons, the apparent strike of veins at the sur face may be very irregular, though the real course of the vein taken horizontally may be nearly straight.

MARK SMITH ON STATEHOOD
A St. Louis dispatch says:


 Arizona and New Mexico will have acknowledgements statehood just as soon as they quit stacking the committee on us in congress- , emphatically declared Congression- al Delegate Mark Smith, of the former territory, at the Jefferson hotel last week
 "Who's they?" repeated MT Smith in reply to question "Why, those who are in control oi the situation in Washington. don't care to specify the names Uncle Joe Cannon has voted for or favored the admission of every territory that has wanted to come into this union since he nas been in congress. until he came to us and some of the territories had much less population than either Arizona or New Mexico, too.
 There's no reason why we should not be admitted, further than there never has been a time until in the last two years, tha there has not been a majority ir congress in favor of admitting us We simply are blocked in the com mittee. But perhaps Presiden Roosevelt and others will com, around to our way of thinking before the present administration goes ont.
 "We have a grand country dowr there, and we. need statehood tt develop it. Whether a sepera t statehood bill will be introduced in congress at it's next sessior depends somewhat upon the com plexion of that congress and nor especially on the complexion of thu committees insofar as they effec our interests"

One of the officials of town near
Philadelphia has been the butt of
much good natured raillery for some
days past as the result of bull made
by him at recent official meeting.
Complaint had been made that the
hose in use by the fire department of
the town had been very unsatisfac-
tory and that at the last two fires to
which the company had turned out,
sections of the hose wern found in a
leaking condition. After considera-
BILE discussion as to the proper action
to be taken the official in question
surprised his colleagues when he
arose and said: 81 move, Mr.. Chair
man, that until further notice the
chief of the fire department be in
structed to have an inspection of all
fire hose made two days before every

AN IMPORTANT QUESTION.
To Whom Belongs the Property OF
the Grange That Disbandsf

the Grange That Disbandsf
Sometimes the question arises in the
minds of members of grange that
owns Its own hall, To whom do the
hall and other property belong in case
the charter should be surrendered for
any reason? 1t may be stated as the
general Interpretation of the law that
the real estate of the grange, such as
halls, barns, ETC., in case the grange
disbands should be sold at public auc-
ton or at private sale and the proceeds
be equally divided among the members
Of the grange in good standing at the
time when the grange disbands. The
personal property of the grange-as,
for instance, rituals, regalia, etc.
whose charter has been surrendered
for any reason belongs t0. the national
grange until such time as Its charter
may be revived.
The state grange has no right to the
property Of the subordinate grange
any further than to see that the pro-
visions of the law under which the
grange is organized or incorporated are
fully complied with.

\ strange and wrared bear story
comes from CatawissA, and .his time
the tlepredntions of brain were a0m

the borough, and were nothing short
OF an attempt by large bear to get
into the tower house of the p 4 II.

1t is related as follows by G. M.
CornelsOn, who is the night telegraph
operator at the tower located just
across the creek from Catawissa
where the Z. & r. crosses the track
of the Pennsy. Wednesday morn
iug not long after midnight hia at

outside the tower. Looking out the
window, he says he distinctly recog
nized a good sized bear which was
Just chasing away one of the neigh
borhood dogs which had attacked it,
The bear then came up to the tower
house and shifted at the window and
door apparently in attempt to gain an
entrance. Cornelson fearing the
bear might get the door open, ran
down and threw the bolt on the door
The bear heard him and renewed
its efforts to get in, starting to growi
when couple dogs appeared and
began to bark at his bruinship. 1t
was not long before the barking at
tracted several other dogs from near
by houses, and soon IA lively skirmish
was under way, the dogs and bear
having "a lively chase about the tow
er and around trees. The Ca
mines were too numerous for the bear
and the beast fled up the hill, being
followed for a distance by the yelp-
ing dogs.
