When to Look
 For the Comet

The comet which the Phoenix Re- publican may claim by right of dis covery and announcement was more distinct yesterday morning than ever. The eastern sky for the first time since its appearance was perfectly cloudless SO that as coon as the comet appeared far enough above the horizon it could be seen without any difficulty or with out any other difficulty than that which attends the seeing of the stars. About 2:30 is as early as the comet can be seen and from that time on until the breaking of day it becomes more distinct. At 3:30 it is probably seen at its best. After that time the waning moon gives out just enough l light to obscure and shorten the tail
 What changes in its appearances with respect to time will occur csnno be known since nothing is known o its distance or of the character or di rection Of its orbit with reference |, plane of the earth's orbit.

Tucson Proving
 Her Priority

The claim 90 often advanced thai Tucson is beyond ioub. the oldest city ID the United states has again been substsntisted from the diary of the Fray Pedro Font, the Frsnci-can mis. sionsry. who accompanied the expedi. tion Of Captain Juan Bautista anza from Tucson in I775 and I776 to found the city Of San Francisco.
 One of the most important and in . teresting documents on the early history of California has never yet been published and is practically in- accessible to students.
 This was one of the record expedi- tions in western history; for Captain Anza-who is later governor of New Mexico and a great Apache fighter carried POO colonists through the then fearful desert without the loss of human life. Father Font was the his. torisn of the expedition and an ex- trenely reliable and intelligent one. The original manuscript of the diary is in the possession of the famous john-Carter Brown library of Provi- fence, R. l.. and is of enormous value.

All telegrams filed at the loca Western Union office today are taken subject to indefinite delay and the sender is notified. This is owing to the operators strike, which is spreading over the country almost hourly.

Apache Indians
 As Sheep Raisers

According tothe Gallup Republican
 published at the nearest point to the Navajo reservation in New Mexico, the Navajo Indians this year have dipped more than 100000 sheep. This is the first tine the Indians, who are heavy sheep owners, have ever been induced to follow the instructions of the bureau of animal industry. They have heretofore ignored the dipping order, and such dipping ss has been done has been done by force. The re- suit has been that more infected sheep come from the Navajo reservation than from any other section in the two territories. The Indianp have now, however, been brought to see tn. wisdom of following the dipping order.

From the Chicago News.
 The man who boasts of his ignorance has reached the limit
 To the bunko artist one mans money is as good IS as another's.
 It's up to a man to sit down and contemplate standing offer.
 One way to put money in circulation is to take it to the race track.
 When a man has occasion to defend his actions he ad- mits his weakness.
 It is safer to judge a man by his daily talk than by his Sunday prayers.
 Most men find 1t easier tC take two steps backward than to take one forward.
 Many a man is kept busy trying to avoid doing the foolish things he would really like to do.
 Sometimes after a girl has fished for a man and landed him she doesn't know how to get him of the hook.
 When a small boy refuses a second piece of pie it's a sign there is something wrong with him-Or with the pie.
 Wise is the man who can distinguish between a wo- mans laugh of amusement and the one intended to show of dimple.

Southern Pacific
 Aids E. P. & s. w.

That the complete blockade by th'
 Southern Pacific against the E. P. d $. W. has been raised and only a par
 tial one preserved is the statement o
 General Freight and Passenger Agent Humphrey of that road.
 "The E. P. & s. w was unable to handle all: the traffic which we would have given it, and freight congestion on the line was becoming greater all tbe time. For this reason it was up to us to do something to stop the ap- approaching crisis. An embargo. more or less stringent, was therefore declared and we stopped handling freight consigned to this line, unless it was of 8 very perishsble nature, Recently, however, conditions have somewhat improved and we are now handling freight for this road. We are doing all in our power to sssis: them, however, and although we are not now, and will not in all prob ability for some tune, deliver freight to them at Fl Psso, We are sending their cars around by the way of Ben son and from Deming, New Mexico, thus aiding them as much as possible"

Judge .Higby of Oklahoma

Judge :.Higby of Oklahoma City has decided that if a girl is willing, a man may hug her at any time or place with out, committing a breach Of the peace, The court mis- understands the true intent of the law, which is to draw the line at individual liberty where it interferes with the peace of others, Applied to the case at issue, much seems to depend upon whether the girl was homely or pretty. The law should deal severely with any man who hugs a handsome damsel in public, particularly with her consent

In the Jerome district, the Arkansas & Arizona Copper Company is paying its miners a bonus of S1.00 for each foot over 90 feet sunk in a month. This substantial reward for increased industry on the part of the workmen has a bene- ficial effect, and las given an impetus to progress in shalt sinking. It is an idea which many other companies could adopt with advantage.

The integrity of the spoken word is a necessity among peo- pie who desire to get their business efficiently an d straightforwardly done. It is impossible to get the complex forces of society ruled unless the business men and the po- lltlcal leaders keep their word 10 one another. Therefore any man who is found to be physically untruthful is first distrusted and then cast out, just as completely as we dis trust and cast out the man who Is physically uncleanly.
 The reason is nearly the same in the two cases. It is a meas- ure of self-protection.on the part of society.-Arthur T.

Tombstone Team
 Against Cananea
By JOE MANNING.

The baseball game yesterday be- tween the Tombstone and Csnanea clubs was one of the most exciting and best of the season. Several things contributed to the excitement; first, the close playing and intense interest which characterized the game until the fifth inning, up to which time Tombstone scored the only run; and secondly, an incipient riot which was precipitated by A beligerent CsnGnea runner who had been put out. A few clinches and wordy war brought most of the grand stand to the center of the diamond and general pugil- istic exhibition was narrowly sverted The Cananea team was in excellent trim and composed of expert players several of whom have been identified with some prominent eastern and wes tern clubs. This fact, considered a. against the local nine, made up eI- clusively of local timber, speaks wei for the work of our home boys.
 In regard to the game itself. Can snes was lucky, as all of their run were scored on errors of the local team They did not put up the same fas game yesterday that they did agains Bisbee. The team ss a whole fell Of materially in its fielding, due prob ably to the rough house" tactics in dulged in by the victors.
 In the sixth, with the bases full Hoit lifted skyscraper that the cen terfielder should have ate up, but tn boy, usually brilliant performer, ha an offdsy yesterday and as resul three runs come ever.
