Among the historical curiosities to

To the casual observer 1t appears
Just an ordinary willow, but on closer

of the inspectors in charge, of immigra- tion matters here.
 Notwithstanding reports to the con- trary there are certainly many men coming up r----- ----'-- where they have been working on the different ex- tensions of the Cananea and Yaqui riv- CT road. True all have not been laid off. and work is not at a standstiH but so little work is being done that there is no need of the large forces that were originally employed and hence many not able to work there have re- turned to the states.
 A new customs brokerage firm has been established in Nogales, Mexico, under the name of Joffroy and Aid ridge. Mir. Joffroy has been engaged in the same business at Naco for over two years. and now comes to Nogales in hopes of securing larger business. Mir. Aldridge was formerly bill clerk in the Southern Pacific office here for some time.
 Oscar J. Turner. a recently appointed mounted inspector in the customs serv- ice stationed at Naco, Arizona, met with very painful accident this week. While standing in the door of his house he was struck in the foot by a bullet fired by some unknown person. He has only been in the service for a few days and hence has had no chance to make enemies, nor cause anyone to become angry at him. consequently the acci- dent was probably an unavoidable one. He will be laid up for some time.
 Charles H. Cook, immigration in spector at this port, has been off on a hunting expedition for some time and returned very much benefited with his outing.
 Word has come to some employe of the government here from a political friend in Washington, D. C., that soon after the holiday recess an effort is go- ing to be made to have congress in crease the salaries of the clerks in the governmental service. This is not due to any official influence but be- cause of the cost of living, and as many of the senators favor the in- crease it will no doubt be done. While prices have steadily advanced, salaries have not. In fact some have been low cred. and it is a hardship for which the large army of clerks are not re- sponsible.

 Nogales is rejoicing greatly over the recent removal of the tracks of the railroad company along Morley avenue in front of the plaza. This has been an eyesore for over eight years and during that time repeated attempts have been made to get the railroad to remove them but to no avail. Superin- tendent Averill deserves much credit for the work of removal and the thanks of the whole town are his.
 Owing to the recent shutdown of the mines in and around Cananea the amount of the importations through the customs house has fallen off con Siderably this month. While this is true of the exports to some extent, and the months business will not be up to the regular standard. But after this month the business will increase to its natural order.

FIRST WHITE MAN IN ARIZONA

Undoubtedly the first white pioneer of Arizona was Paulin Weaver who made his advent into the territory in 1880. He came to la- out ground for the Hudson Bay Company and for the purpose of following the trade of hunt CT and trapper. In 1S43 he again re- turned to Arizona accompanied by the famous Kit Carson and Captain Joe Walker. The history of these men and of all the other daring pioneer men and women of Arizona has been now for the first time written and is ap- bearing in the columns of The West Coast Magazine published by the Graf ton Company in Los Angeles Cal. It is a story of blood and battle more thrill ling than any novel ever written. The story begins in the current December number and will continue through three successive numbers.

As Successful East

Cooper's Theories Are Being Rapidlx
 Accepted by Eastern People

l.. T. Cooper. whose theory that the. human stomach is the causeaof most i'll health and who created a furore in Chicago. St. Louis and other western cities, is meeting with the same re- markable success with his medicine throughout the east. Cooper has con- vinced an immense number of people that his theory is sound and his medi- cine will do what he claims.
 Perhaps the most interesting fea- lures of the discussion this young man is causing, are the statements made by responsible people who have taken his medicines and have become enthusias- tic converts to his beliefs.
 Among statements of this character the following, by MT. August Wittmer 1O49 Rockwell Court, Chicago. is char acteristic of the widespread faith in Cooper, which has grown up in a comparatively short time. MT.

"A Message from Mars" comes to the Doris opera house tonight, Dec. 10. Concerning a recent presentation by this company in Los Angeles the Times said
 In Richard Ganthony's Message From Mars" in which Richard Haw- trey made such hit in Gotham few years ago. the Los Angeles theater has more than usually strong attraction this week. The audience which greet ed the first appearance of A. L. Rhein- strom's clever company, in this novel three-act play was not half so large as it should have been. Strange that a worn-out minstrel show could pack the same theater on a Sunday night when a really meritorious performance should have been given so many empty pews.,
 "A Message From Mars" is com- edy with a strong moral. Horace Parker. the selfish Englishman, as in- terpreted by Wallace Widdecomb. calls forth the moral and many a laugh. Cold. self-centered. self-satisfied eg- otist his calm indifference to the feel ings of his fiancee and aunt in the first act aroused a storm of merriment, while it made every woman in the house eager to speak her mind" When the messenger from Mars appears to Parker in a dream. tells him what selfish wretch he is and forces him to obedience through the use of Martian "dynamics," the egotist is forced to go with the stranger into the snowstorm and see life in it's wretchedness and sorrow among the very poor. Parker, against his will. is forced to assist the suffering and to hear what others, in cluding his fiancee, really think of him. Remaining imperviously selfish through these ordeals, the Martian suddendly transforms Parker into a beggar in which capacity he makes a bargain with beggar whom he had previous ly rebuffed to sweep the snow from the steps and "go halfers." His part ner in this enterprise is overcome by cold and hunger and falls 1ainting to the sidewalk and Parker for the first time, shows real human feelings, and expresses his willingness to remain beggar. if only he may be permitted to save this poor unfortunate.
