ARIZONA LOSES
 PRINTERS HOME
At the Hot Springs Meeting of the International the Proposition Was Turned Down Temporarily, but May Come Up Again Next Year.

J. A. Ball, who went as the repre- sentative of the Phoenix Typographical union to the annual convention of the International Typographical union, which was recently held in Hot Springs, Ark, has returned home, says the Ari- zona Republican.
 The chief object of Mir Ball s visit was to get things going. The local union has been carrying great load for many years in trying to care for invalid journeymen who contrive to spend their winters in Phoenix and beside the trouble of personal attention there has been constant drain upon the unions exchequer. Mir. Ball was selected as a delegate and instructed to use his best effort toward getting es tablished somewhere in Arizona a branch of the Printers home, located in Colorado Springs, for the special benefit of printers suffering of lung trouble. The union desires such an in- stitution located not in any city but conveniently near yet far enough away that the invalids may have the benefit of the best climate and air and yet be out of the way of well people whose health is constantly menaccd and whose finances are now sorely taxed by the mere demands of human sym pathy.
 MT. Ball reports that he was unsuc, cessful in securing the voting of a slight tax this year, though the merits of the proposition were acknowledged. A pension project for old printers was favorably acted upon, but the I. T. U. decided that it would be better to post pone action on the sanitarium enter prise until the next session, when, he has every reason to believe, it will be indorsed and put into operation.

ODD DELAY ON s. P.
 AT MARICOPA JUNCTION

There was rather an odd tieup of the train service in the vicinity of Maricopa on Saturday night and the little old M. & P. engine had to pull the whole Southern Pacific out of the hole, says the Arizona Republican. A westbound passenger due to arrive at about II o'clock p. m. was ordered to take a sidetrack about four miles east of Mari copa at a lonely point where there is no telegraph office and wait for the passing of an eastbound passenger. In the meantime the train due from the west was stopped two miles west of Maricopa by an accident to the frebox or some other portion of the internal construction of the locomotive that caused it's sudden death. The tele- graphone carried on the train for some reason was not available and brake man walked to Maricopa to report con ditions. The M. & P. engine, which was awaiting the arrival of both trains went west and pulled in the dead train and returning had to go down the line toward Tucson to carry orders to the westbound train that was still sticking to the sidetrack and panting nervously for somebody to tie it loose. It reached Maricopa about ? p. m.

remained indoors. Attempts to sweep them from the sidewalks were dismal failures, for as fast as they were swept into the streets they would hop back, apparently preferring the smooth, wet surface of the concrete.
 "Where they came from and whither they went is mystery, but many the ories are offered as to their arrival. 1t is generally accepted that they were swept from the plateau north of the city by the high winds and carried until the rain fell, when they were dashed to the ground. Color is given to this the ory, for many of the toads were seen dead upon the streets. The toads disap- peared after the rain as mysteriously as they came, and forty eight hours later not one could be found.
 "The theory of their having rained down upon the city is upheld by the superintendent of the state fish hatch cry, who says he has witnessed similar occurrences, where minnows were car ried in the clouds for miles. v

II BANNED T0ADS

Where They Came from and Where They Went to Is Mystery to the People Couldn't Walt the Sidewalks Without Treading on Them.

A. Phoenix man, writing to the Ari- zona Republican from Lewiston, Idaho, tells this remarkable story:
 "Like the mythical city in the fairy story which was visited by showers of strange horned toads, Lewiston was visited by rain of small toads during the recent rain. Before the storm not toad was to be found, but after the rain ceased the walks were covered with the tiny amphibians. All over the city, on the business streets and up the hill in the residential sections, they hopped and peeped.
 "Sidewalks in the business district were so covered by them that it was impossible to walk without treading on the little animals and rather than at- tempt to dodge them, many persons

ARIZONA AND NEVADA

The proposition to unite in joint state hood Arizona and Nevada, scheme which apparently originated in Wash ington after President Roosevelt gave up his pet plan for jointure which Ari- zona so overwhelmingly showed under last November, doesn t seem to find any supporters and in Arizona it has been treated as joke. A very sensible view of the proposition is taken by the Washington Post, which says:
 The ambitious state makers of the east who are busily disposing of Arizona by uniting her to Nevada, or otherwise providing for her admission into the union, might do we'll to consult the communities concerned. The woeful failure to appreciate western sentiment was made plain when Arizona knocked into a cooked hat the best-laid plans of the president and congress. Those who now advocate the jointure of Nevada and Arizona are palpably ignorant of the attitude of the state and the terri tory. Neither cares to be linked to the other and there is no reason why they should be joined.
 Nevada is rapidly getting out of the rotten borough class. Her gold output is becoming so large as to be compar- able with that of Alaska, Colorado or California, and it promises to rank with the Rand as a producer. Irrigation is retaining the arid lands of the state, and the market afforded by the, gold camps is ahording a farming immigra- tion which, once planted, will remain and flourish. The population of Nevada has greatly increased since 1900. The state is not in any need of the popula- tion of Arizona in order to make a showing, and it is as little in need of Arizona 8 territory. All that Nevada asks is that the east shall not cling to the notions of decade ago in res pect to her population, resources and prospects. If the east will only keep abreast of the developments in Nevada, there will be no mistaken assumption that Nevada is willing to be yoked to any other state or territory. The state pride that exists in Nevada is as genu- inc, and bids fair to have as much ex- cuse for existence, as is the pride of any other citizens in their states.
 Arizona is no more anxious to be joined to Nevada than she is to be fore ed into union with New Mexico. There is an independent spirit in Arizona that demands the separate existence of the commonwealth, whether it is to remain a territory or become state The Ari- zona brand of pride is genuine, also. The people of Arizona are convinced that the territory is the fairest portion of the country. They love the name of their home. They are sharers in it's hopes and in it's growth, and they know that they will become a great state. There is an ambition worthy of the broad faith and sturdy courage of the west. It was such an ambition that made great states and it will do its work in Arizona. The force of this am. bition must be reckoned with by con gress Arizona will not accept. state hood that is not statehood "on a foot ing with the original states" If she cannot get separate statehood now, she
