EDITOR NEWS:
 Dear Sir:-Do you know this man? He lives hero in Willia ms and you have doubtless quite often met him.
 He goes to church sometimes and then remarks that he could preach better than the minister. One time he visited our school and the next day he declared he could do better job of teaching children than any teacher in Williams. Re gently, just after the death of a young lady, he said that if he had been consulted. her life would have been saved, as he knew more about medical matters than any doctor in Williams.
 This same man often borrown my husbands rife and when he returns it (uncleaned) he always remarks that he likes a Marlin better than the Winchester my husband owns. And last hut no, least he comes over nearly every Sunday morning and reads the Williams NEWS, and after reading it remarks that he could beat tn. editor at getting out 2 newspaper
 Now, 1 am only a poor wo omar and am afraid to talk back at suct a man, but I think just the sam' and wish some good, big. strong man would tell him for me what fool he really is, and ask him t, talk less and think more, spend {, few dollars for reading matter ant drink less whiskey; and in fac commence with the new year l. mind his own business and pet hi own wife and babies more. an, other less. Yours truly,

 alcohol debauch at Maricopa, which immediately claimed four victims, who died there, and left several others in a dangerous condition One of the four who have died re- gently is said to have passed away at San Bernardino. Cal, and another at Yuma.
 Arizona Star: Antonio F. Val divia, who was called as a witness in the Octaviano Rodriguez burgla- ry case but who failed to respond to his name when it was called in court yesterday, was cited to show why he should not be in contempt by failing to appear in the court room at the proper time. Later he was brought into court and was given fifteen days in jail by Judge Campbell.
 Copper Era A Mexican was arrested and tried before Judge Smith this week on the charge of having sold venison, contrary to the law. He had a jury trial and upon testimony introduced it was learned that he had killed three deer, but the complainant failed to convince the jury that he had sold any of the meat. The jury disa- greed and Judge Smith dismissed the case. The party who made the complaint was given some of the venison, gratis.
 ..i::zzona Star: To each the bed- side of his mother, whom 1t is feared cannot recover from the effects of an operation, Eugene Brady O. Neill left hurriedly last night for Washington, D. C., to get there if possible before she may take turn for the worse, O'Neill received telegram Saturday morning that his mother would have to undergo an operation, from which there was little hope that she would recover. Yesterday he received further news which told of her critical condition causing him to leave at once.
 Prescott Courier: A dispatch to the Silver Belt from Roosevelt, Arizona, states that the big govern ment dam is now immune frorn flood damage. It makes little diff ference now to the contractors on the big project whether the Salt river goes up or down, as the dam Is above the high water mark, all the way across it. The actual work of building the dam, which has so often been interrupted by floods in the Salt river following heavy rains, will be vigorously pushed and it is expected that O'Rourke & Co.,, the contractors, will put on a much larger force of workingmen.
 Arizona Republican: Emil Brick son, who snatched gun from in front of Massie's second hand store on Friday afternoon, was before Justice Johnstone yesterday morn ing charged with the theft. It could be seen that he was men, tally unbalanced. He was asked why he had committed so bold crime. He replied that he was obliged to do it; that he was suffer- ing from hunger. Being questioned further he said that he was car penter but that partial paralysis prevented him from working. The court was satisfied that he was tell

He gave him thirty days. Manuel ViIlanueva, Antonio Avilla, 1. Car. illo, Dionicio Hernandez, Tgpacio Buena and Pedro Arelano, all up on charges of disturbance of the peace, were each sent to jail for five days.
 Bisbee Review: C.. w. Garner was arrested yesterday on a charge of assault with intent to murder. The arrest was made by Deputy Sheriff Bill White, following com plaint by Joe Williams, the man assaulted. The flair occurred about 6:30 yesterday morning at the L. $. x P. shaft, at which time Garner and Williams got into a dispute. According to Williams, who made the complaint, Garner rushed at him with a knife and he was unable to protect himself. Will Hams was cut three times under the right arm. The wounds are pretty deep, but his condition Is not regarded as dangerous.
 Bisbee Review: Last night the room of Pete Barbaurier, proprietor of the Bonanza hotel at Lowell was entered and $73 was taken by a sneak thief. The money was placed behind a trunk temporarily, while Mir. Barbaurier stepped out on an errand. Upon his return the money was missing. The local authorities are pretty sure who the guilty party is, and as nothing can be proved against him, they are play ing waiting game They expect to land their man within a short time. The man upon whom the suspicion is directed was seen near the room in question short time before the money was missed, and he is being shadowed constantly with the hope of seeing him squan- der a portion of the ill-gotten money.
 Tombstone Prospector: Al Eaton, an old-timer of Arizona, has arriv- ed at Yuma from Ely. Nevada, with his wife and four other com panions-two men and their wives. The journey was made down the Colorado river, in two large skiffS, in which were packed also the bag gage of the party, and was accom- plished without frequent mishap, four days being occupied en route. This is trip which is quite often made by prospectors, hunters and the like, but it Is rare that women care to take the chance of disaster which it necessarily involves. The upper Colorado is marked by many falls, rapids and whirlpools, the shooting of which requires a stout heart, strong arm and ready eye, and even so equipped it is good idea for the navigator to be pro- fcIent in the art of swimming.

Dear Sir
Entries for the Territorial
Fair to be held November 18th
to the 10th are coming in fast,
in the live stock department tul-
" one half the space set aside for
that purpose has been engaged
at this early date by exhibitors
from different parts of the Terri
tory.
The same activity exists among
the other departments. In two
instances in the sheep depart
ments, applications have have
been made for space for 100 head
of sheep, each.
The horse department will have
on exhibition all classes othorses
the best Of their class in the Ter
ritorv and some that are among
the best oftheir class in the United
States.
Detailed descriptions could be
made of each OF the departments
IN a like manner but it would be
difficult to segregate the most at
tractive features at the present
time.
The Woman's Department con-
sists of three separate divisions
Needle work, Culinary and Art.
Over 500 premiums are offered
to Exhibitors in this department
and the exhibit will be decidedly
instructive, interested and at
tractive. Premiums are to be
given for most everything that
could properly attach to TINS de-
partment, except trouble. The
man who thinks his wife doesn't
desire to go to the FAIR and
that she cares only to stay at
home, and would not enjoy a
week of rest and pleasure of see
ing what is done by others, al
ways has trouble. AS a chance
occurs but once a year, do not
overlook the opportunity OF be-
ING relieved from your troubles
for a week, sure, and probably
forever.
Catalogues containing a list OF
the premiums have been forward
ed to the Commissioners OF the
different counties of the Territory
where they can be obtained, or
will be furnished by the Secretary
of the Fair Commission, upon
application.

BERLIN's POSTAL SERVICE.

Connect the Central once with the
Principal Stations.
The Berlin postal authorities are
reyolutionizing the conveyance Of let
tiers and parcels
The Idea on which they are expert
menting IL to have an underground
tube with large enough circumfer-
ence to admit a man In a STOPPING po-
sition. These tubes are to connect the
central postoffice with the principal
stations and with the district offices.
Two sets of rails are built In this
tube or tunnel, one over the other, not
side by side. The upper set of rails is
supported on the sides Of the tube,
thus practically dividing It in two.
Small carriages, running on two wheels,
are automatically driven by electricity
along these rails
No locomotive Is used nor is there
any attendant with the carriage. As
many as six of these carriages can be
run together for conveying letters and
parcels from the arrival station to the
central postoffice and thence to the va
rious districts, or vice versa.
BY this means letters can be deliv-
cred In any part Of the city in less
than fourth Of the time formerly re-
quired. So far the scheme Is not be.
yond the experimental stages, but II
promises to be success and to Danish

MERIDA's MANY MILLIoNAIREs
Made Rich by HenequenJ Yucatan
May Yield Supremacy.


The wealth of the mines Of Mexico
is proyerbial, yet there are nearly as
many millionaires in Merida, the capt.
tai Of Yucatan, a State with practi-
cally no mineral resources, as there are
in all Mexico combined, says Modern
Mexico. Henequen, or sisal hemp as It
Is sometimes known, has made Merida
and its people rich. Merida has forty
millionaires, or one to every 1000 in
habitants. The farmers of the United
States, who use binding Irvine, which
Is manufactured from henequen, have
enriched the growers of henequen In
Yucatan. The United States, In 1905,
bought from Mexico 95,s34 tons of
henequen, valued at $14, 4S6,569. The
imports of henequen elsewhere than
from Mexico amounted to but 2,566
tons, valued at about $500, $50. OF the
total amount of heneQuen exported
from Mexico to the United States, and
this accounts for about 95 per cent Of
the total production, all but less than
5000 tons was produced In Yucatan.
Only in Campeche, Chiapas and Ia
basco Is henequen grown outside Of Yu-
catan, In Mexico. OF these the largest
amount of henequen is grown in Cam
Ipeche, the production of this State last
year being $500 tons. Campeche is the
future competitor Of Yucatan in the
production Of henequen. While Yucca
tan is the natural habitat of henequen,
yet the production in Campeche Is
greater per acre. This Is due to the
better quality Of land in Campeche
and the greater amount of rainfall.
The stability Of the heneQuen indus
try is, to quote a Yucatan authority,
greater than that of any bank" The
plant has practically no enemies.
Drought does not affect It, and the
leeway allowable in Its harvesting ex-
tends over twelve months The best
authorities agree that the cost of pro-
ductlon of henequen to the planter Is
about 2 cents per pound. Landed in
New York, the cost per pound Is placed
at about 39s cents. The average price
of heneQuen is about cents per pound,
showing a net profit in the neighbor-
hood OF 100 per cent With an aver
age good stand of heneQuen. counting
In the profits from by-products, each
acre, It Is estimated, will produce SEQ.

Tattootng.

Tattooing, or the custom of perma-
nently marking the skin with colored
designs, Is Of ancient origin. This
practice Is forbidden In the Scrip
lures; 80 1t may be inferred that 1t
was customary among other tribes
than the Israelites. The custom Of
tattooing among civilized nations is
fast dying out, though there are a few
establishments to be found where II Is
still done. Among these is one on the
Bowery In New York, where the oper-
ator advertises performing the opera
ton In thirteen different colors In
some countries tattooing had a relig-
ious significance; but In olden times 1t
was practiced merely as a method OF
adornment The Japanese and New
Zealanders are famed as expert tattoo
ers, and good workman can cover a
mans back with all manner of elabor-
ate designs in single day. Some au-
thorities assert that tattooing was put
on the body in ancient times as a sub
stitute for clothes.

Those familiar with the results OF
American exploration have known for
few years that there are three nat
ural bridges In Southeastern Utah as
much larger than the Natural Bridge in
Virginia as Pixies Peak L. than Mount
Washington. 1t is only within a short
time, however, that much accurate In
formation about these Utah wonders
has been accessible In 1905 an expe-
dition of Salt Lake City men visited
them In company with an artist and a
surveyor. Pictures OF the bridges have
lately been published. The Augusta
bridge, with span of three hundred
and twenty feet and height Of two
hundred and sixU-five feet, Is the
largest and so far as known there Is
none larger In the world. The Caro-
line bridge has a greater span, three
hundred and ffty feet. bu. Is smaller
In other ways; and the third, the Ed
