FOR SINGLE STATEHOOD.
Clovis Chronicle.

Clovis
Delegate Andrews gave out an in
terview some days ago in which he
outlined his views on statehood, con
tending that now is the accepted time
to push the question. He also favors
the holding of a constitutional con-
vention and formulating a constitu-
ton to lay before congress when that
body next December. The
Republican press of the Territory,
headed by the Santa Fe New Next
an, are devoting considerable space
to the matter, and incidentally airing
their views. Strange to say, all CT
these papers, from the New Mexican
to f1al proof and contest notice
sheets. with one accord, favor single
statehood. Likewise they favor the
appointment of delegates to the pro-
posed constitutional convention. The
Republican press is a unit, all prais-
ing Governor Curry and submitting
arguments to prove that the governor
could appoint a more representative
body of delegates than those elected

constitutional convention. is not

a constitutional convention, is not
plain, unless there is an advantage
to be gained for their party. We see
40 good reason why the delegates
chosen last fall for that purpose
should not assemble and draft a con
stitution in case it is thought best to
formulate a constitution at this time.
We take no stock in the argument
that a more representative body can
be appointed than those chosen at the
last election. They were chosen for
that purpose, and we are in favor of
them doing the work. If p~erchance,
there is a vacancy, fill it by calling
an election.

GREAT PIANO A l

AS we are forced to tacate u present
building by Nov. 1st., and do not yet know
in what building we can move, we will maxi
such sacrifice on the price of half a dozen of
our Pianos that we will close them out
quickly, long before Nov. 1st. We do not
auction them off at cost, neither do We
slaughter them below cost, but if anyone
can tell US of any special slaughter sale,
whether in Chicago or New York, where
Pianos of same grade were sold cheaper, all
you nave to do is to lay the proofs before
and the piano will be yours. We do not
put up a fancy price of 500 or 5000 more
than they are worth and then take off a
hundred or two. None such cheap schemes.
However, if you have ever thought of
you d piano within the next 2 years,
now is your chance to save at least one-third
the price of one. Judge for yourself
whether we state cold facts.

Sea of Oranges.

A sea covered with oranges is one
of the unusual attractions near Ven-
tura, Cal, at the mouth of the Santa
Clara river. Thousands upon thou
sands of oranges floating on the
oceans surface, many of them strew-
ing the beach, give an indescribably
beautiful golden hue to the sea-
There are wonder for some time as
to how the oranges got into the sea.
The belief was general that they came
from washed out orchards in the east
end of the county, owing to the high,
storm waters in the river This is not
the case, however. The oranges were
deliberately thrown into the Sespe
creek from the Sespe bridge, 25 miles
back from the coast From the Sespe
they found their way back into the
Santa Clara river and thence into the
sea.
The oranges are from the great
packing houses in the Sespe country.
They are known as culls, but most
Of them are good, or were when
dumped off the bridge. 1t is claimed
that only the best oranges can be
shipped and sold.

The Invention Of Armor.

The idea of the invention of armor
for the protection of the body from
weapons came from the ancients,
who, noticing the natural armor of
various kinds of animals. particularly
the armadillo, initiated it.
In early times before metal was
used in armor making the warriors
used rough hides to several thick
nesses, and the first armor ever worn
was made from slices taken from the
hoofs of horses and fastened together
With legs. Fish scales and the scales
of large snakes were also gathered
and fastened together until they
formed a thick layer and were used
as armor.
The armor of the Middle Ages was
a continuation of the ancient kind,
made in the form of scales of iron or
steel. Certain kinds of mail used in
early times in England were copied
from the shells of crabs and Holsters.
