The necessity for making the pur-
negligence or carelessness, or lack OF
knowledge of the physical contour OF
the region, on the part of the COM
mission which negotiated the treaty of
Hidalgo. 1t is said on good authority
that the plan Of making the ella river
the base OF the dividing line between
the two nations was merely an eX-
pedient of convenience and that n more
southerly line might have been had
practically for the asking. However
that may be, the United States, being
the victor. was certainly in a position
to dictate the terms of the treaty.
The treaty was signed and ratified
In 1SiS, and very soon afterwards an
important discovery was made-the
United States had frontier of over
600 miles long along which there was
no possibility of ever constructing a
railroad or even 4 wagonroad. Think
of railroad from Las Cruces west to
the source Of the ella and thence along
the north side Of the river to San car
los and on to the Colorado! y burro
train would hardly be able to traverse
that route. We: no other route was In
possession Of the government at the
close of the war with Mexico.
The discovery OF the poor bargain
which the commission had made ere
ated something of CONSERVATION
throughout the country, especially in
Congress. The Confederacy was even
then looming into great proportions
and the south was inclined 10 think
that the north had brought about this
condition of affairs FOR an Interior pur-
pose. There was a great deal OF
elimination and recrimination between
the two sections over the folly that
had been committed.
OF course. the territory adjacent to
the line was considered as entirely
worthless and hundred miles of it.

THE RANGER FORCE
NOT A PIE COUNTER
Applications For Positions Are Num-
erous and Selections are Made With
the Utmost Care.

There have been frequent criticisms
of Capt. Harry Wheeler of the Arizona
Rangers in refusing to appoint this
man or that one, TO a position on the
ranger force. The captain has noticed
these criticisms with some regret and
is sorry he cannot pass around more
of these favors than he does, but he
believes the position of ranger is a
very responsible one and il is his am
bition to make the force as perfect as
possible for the work it has to do,
rather than using it merely as place
to give some worthy citizen a job. In
a recent letter TO a personal friend in
this city he said that he had had
somewhere in the neighborhood of a
thousand applications for appointment
In the nature of things not more than
one in a hundred could be chosen for
there are few vacancies in so small
q force. In the selection of a ranger
there are so many peculiar qualifi-
cations required. He tries to pick out
the men who will be best adapted to
the work when it is considered from
every viewpoint.
To be good ranger one should not
only be honest, brave and fearless. He
should know how to handle a gun ef
fectively, and at the same time. he
should be a man who will never use
one except as a last resort. Moreover,
he should have the judgment that leads
him to evade this last resort If pos
sible and if not, to know quickly when
the time for action has arrived. He
must also be free from the use Of in
toxicants and bad associations. Even
with all these, he may be deficient
Most of the work is on the ranges. He
should be familiar with brands or

1t may not be generally known that
the strip of country along the south
ern borders OF Arizona and New Mexi-
co figured tremendously in national
politics during the latter forties and
early fifties. The Gadsden Purchase,
too. had g bearing in shaping the des-

Mention was made a short time ago

an invitation to Governor Luis Torres

Pres. Territorial Fair Comm ssion,
Phoenix, AriZ.,
Dear Sir:
Your kind and welcome invitation
for me and my wife to attend the Ar
iona territorial fair received and 1t
will give me great pleasure to attend.
You are very right in saying that my
state being so closely connected with
Arizona we have in many cases iden-
teal interests and therefore our rela-
tions must be entirely friendly. So It
has been in the past and shall be in
the future.
! assure you my dear sir that only
some great difficulty may prevent my
attendance and my wife's attendance
to your fair, accepting your cordial in
vitation.
Believe me truly yours.

RHEUMATISM

Arizona republican. [volume] (Phoenix, Ariz.) 1890-1930, 1907-10-27

When the blood is overburdened with uric
acid it continually grows weaker and more
acrd and poorer in nourishing qualities.
Then Rheumatism becomes chronic and not
only painful and distressing disease, but
formidable and dangerous one as we'll. The
general health is always affected, the oils and
fluids which lubricate the joints and muscles
are destroyed by the acrid matter which the
blood is continually depositing in them, the
muscles shrink and lose their elasticity, the
lining of the joints becomes hard and thick,
and the sufferer is often left a hopeless cripple.
But worse still, when the blood becomes fully
saturated with the uric acid poison the heart

ELEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR A GOWN.

An American woman who is enormously rich has pur-
chased gown costing her ST. 900.
Whether the gown worth that not is neither
here there. 1t the woman's money. 1t Is her
dress.
No doubt we shall hear before long that other
very rich has bought gown costing 100000.
1t is the foolish way of the foolish rich to Guido one
another.
And there are Others rich who of like foolish
sort.
A woman shows her ne ghbOr woman something costly.
The other is envous. Discomfort is born in the envous
The wants what she cannot afford, and, nursing
the false ambition goes the limit to get tor beyond
the limit
And a false standard of living is set up. Sense of
true proportion is lost False ideals maintained
The folly of it is everywhere seen, every circle of life
A man must live as his eighbors live A woman must
buy what the other buy. The children must have
what other children have. And thus husband and wife
put upon the rack. Heartaches failures-maybe
crmes-come of it.
Envy of others things is rotting our social fabric.
1t is at the bottom of many ills of today. 1t is building
up class spirit It is fostering hatred of class 1t is
everywhere putting the premium the dollar and the
discount the That way spells ruin.
Individually may rebuke this apish spirit and
oneself from the misery of an envious life.
Let us live i'll good house as we can afford-no
better Let dress well circumstances will per-
mit-no beyond. Let give children what is good
for them, and
Let buy what pay for-and stop there!

your ne ghbOr wants to go beyond that, let him. You

Do spoil your comfort By strainng for something
that is out of your reach Enjoy what you have
If you keep trying to get everything you want you will
die wanting. There will always be someone richer than
you and able to buy The only philosophy is to
limit your desires
Let us not get into that swim of unreasonable desire
which has undertew so fatal to happiness

WANTS CLUB TO
BUILD WALL

The city council met yesterday
afternoon and set May % as the
date for hearing arguments from
the Spokane club on a request for
release from an agreement to fur
nish free reading room in its pro-
posed new building west of the
south end of the Monroe st. bridge.
The club bought the property from
the Spokane Gas Co., which Sc
cured it from the city on a trade
for the site of the Monaghan monu-
ment. In the deal the company
agreed to give the reading room in
any building erected on the ground.
The ground is now the clubs, but
the agreement as to the reading
room stands.
The deal was made before the
Carnegie library was built. On &C
count of the library now accom-
modating readers, the club wants
the agreement abrogated.
The city council will probably
grant the club the privilege de-
sired, but will want another agree
ment-that the club build the re-
tanning wall at that point. Main av.,
In its continuation down into
Peaceful valley, passes just below
