Two cases of knives were stolen
last week from the show cases at
Goldenberg's store by some small
boys. 1t would be a good idea for
the parents of the small boy to
keep him employed at something
about home when he is out of
school, by so it doing may be the
means Of keeping him out of Jail.
A curfew law will be a good thing
for this city, and we understand
that our city council is now consid-
ering the matter very seriously.
The quicker they accomplish this
the better. They will likely have
the gratitude of a good number of
mothers and fathers.

there are some of the laws we have
on our statutes which | am study
ing carefully, for the purpose of
making up my mind whether or
not they should be repealed. l
have one thing in mind in particr-
lar that I am very much interested
in, and that is the extension of our
county a little further north, say
four or five townships. Most of
the people residing in the locality
which we should have to square
Quay up on the north are making
very earnest requests that this be
done. The people of the southern
townships of Union are too far
from the county seat of that coun-
ty and in easy reach of Tucumcari
where they desire to transact what
ever business they have with their
county seat. This is their trading
point where they buy their supplies
and sell their produce, and in JUS
tice to them they should be made a
part of Quay. 1t would please me
very much if those who are inter-
ested in this legislation would Pc
tition the Legislature praying to be
annexed to Quay county. Also |
would be pleased to have the peo-
pie of Quay county express their
desire in the matter in the most
forcible way possible. And would
consider it a great favor if any cit

ties would communicate with me

Industrial conditions at the present

anticipating they would be when we
finished our Thanksgiving dinner a

for which we should return thanks to
the supreme ruler of the world. When
compared with other sections of the
country Arizona has no reason for
complaint The financial disturbance
in the east has temporarily effected
the demand for copper which is our
principal mineral product, When the

NOT YET DETERMINED.

The federal officials in Arizona who
are now engaging in strenuous and Of
fensiye craftsmanship in their efforts tc
secure a delegation from Arizona next
year who will favor the denomination
OF Roosevelt in the republican nation
:. - :
none too soon in oGf~opinion. 1t is
likely that much educational work
will have TO be done before the re-
pubIicans OF Arizona can be brought
to agree that it is wise to give sup
port to the man who, above all 9th
ers, is responsible for the attempt last
year to force our people into a con-
dition of political peOnage by joining
Arizona and New Mexico into one
state; it may take time to convince
the people that Roosevelt's recent
statehood talk has not been handed
out for the purpose of squaring him
self with the people who were the OBJ
ject of his political stilIeto last year.
Had RooseveIt's policy been carried
out in the last congress the republi-
/ cans Of Aroma would be represented
next year by Bull" Andrews, Gov
ernor Curry and a few other republi-
can leaders in New Mexico They
would hold the power while Arizonans
could acquiesce OF protest as they
might choose.
The Arizona Gazette and one or
two other republican papers of the

than the assertion of the Gazette and
a few territorial officials A year ago
Arizona had just completed cam

great improvement over either of the
first two. There were more exhibits
and each was more attractive. The

fered because of the extreme scarcity
of actual cash in every section Of the

that the patronage was sufficient to
meet all the expense; should there be
a deficiency Arizona may be depended
upon to promptly meet it. Each mem

ssNEWs" FROM Ell PAso.

Over in Ell Paso there is evidently a
literary gent" whose urgent need Of
clearing house certificates outweighs
his regard for truth in sending news
items to the Associated Press. The
Review was astonished last night to
receive the following sensational dis
patch:
Ell PASO. Texas, Nov. 1S.-Fire has
been burning three days in the main
shaft Of the Calumet & Arizona and
Copper Queen mines at Bisbee, Ari-
1Ona, and efforts to put out the flames
have been fruitless. Owing to the
action of gases underground. miners
are unable to stay in the shafts for
more than few minutes, therefore
can not get at the blaze, which is
steadily eating out the framework Of
several large shafts. The mines in
vOIyed are the richest in that section
of the country, and represent some Of
the largest interests n Arizona. The
origin Of the fire is unknown, and no
estimates Of damage can be secured.
1t is needless to tell anybody in Bis
bee that the above is noted chiefly for
its lack Of truth. The exact situation
has been told by the Review in its To-
eel columns, No framework la sc

the territories which in the past have
been admitted to the union. The enc
mics Of Arizona last year were follow
ing the lead of President Roosevelt,
who now, after being baked in his
joint statehood efforts and baked by
the people of Arizona, announces that
he will favor the admission of the ter
ritory as a single state. Who is go
not change his mind on the statehood
question in the future, as he has done
in the past?
No people of any territory or state
were ever a more perfect unit in the
work of averting an impending calam-
ity than We're the people of Arizona
last year in their fight against joint
statehood. Can it be possible that
the republicans of the territory will
now consent to help the man who
tried to so ruthlessly undo this terri
tory by sending a delegation bound to
support him for preside.
Arizona owes nothing to President
Roosevelt and we do not believe his
federal appointees in this territory
will be able to deliver the goods. The

INCREASE OF COST

The steady increase in the price OF
practically all classes of foodstouffs

the period from 1896 to 1906. but. a.

The action of the Wells-Fargo Elk
press company in refusing to accept
in Bisbee anything but actual cash in
payment for express brought there for
shippers has aroused the merchants
of that city to determined action.
There is no company doing business
in the country which better under
stands the present condition of the f.
nancial situation than does the Wells
Fargo company. The managers of this
company well understand that the &C
ton of the banks throughout the coun-
try in issuing clearing house certifi-
Gates and New York exchange in lieu
of cash has been taken for the sole
purpose of averting a more serious
financial condition. The express COM
pany should gladly join hands with
the railroads, which have promptly an
nounced that clearing house certifi-
Gates, cashiers checks or New York
exchange would be received in pay
ment of either freight or passenger
fares. What makes the action of the
WeIls-Fargo company more reprehen-
sible in the action taken in Bisbee is
the fact that the express company
owns several large banks throughout
the country, notably in San Francis
co and New York. 1t can be seen
that by wringing the actual cash from
the people in all the Wells-Fargo Of
fee towns and cities in the country
it can soon swell the actual cash on
hand in its own banks to great ad-
vantage. WeIIs-Fargo can well afford
to offer express patrons every accomo-
daticn in this temporary financial cri-
sis and it is TO be hoped that when
the attention Of the company manag-
ers is called to the local action Of the
office in Bisbee that they will quickly
dispel the idea that there is any in
tention to play the hog.

price of foodstuffs has fallen with
crushing force. That this should be
SO well realized when it is stated that
the compilations Of the bureau of Ia
Dor show that the retail price OF
the principal articles of food. weighed
according to family consumption Of
the various articles, was 1871 per cent
higher last year than the average
: price e the tte... 1870 70 1909
That there has been a further in
crease in food prices in the last year,
and a very substantial one, is matter
of general knowledge, with no cores
ponding increase in either wages or
salaries. The actual increase in food
prices last year over those prevailing
in 1896 was 21.2 per cent, while there
was an increase of 10 per cent over
1901 Prices last year, as compared
with 1905, according to the bureau of
labor bulletin, were 90 per cent high
er. Out of thirty articles reported
upon, there was an increase in price
in twenty-five.
The articles which showed the
greatest advances were: Lard. 9.S
per cent; evaporated apples, 81 per
cent; fresh pork, SIS per cent; bacon,
81 per cent; ham. IS per cent, while
the advance in fresh fish and mutton
was over per cent. The only arti-
Giles showing any material decrease
were flour, SO per cent, and sugar, So
per cent.
The prices of twelve of the thirty
articles reported We're more than %
per cent higher in 1906 than in 1896
In December, 1906, eggs were sos per
cent higher than the average price
for the ten-year period from 1890 to
1899. and bacon was 54.S pc recent
higher than during the ten-year per
iod. These figures gave a better idea
of the actual increases in prices as
known to housekeepers than they can
be shown by the punching method
adopted by the bureau of labor to
strike a general average for all arti-
cles entering into consumption in the
ordinary family.
AS regards the wages of working
men the bulletin says that in the
year 1906 the average wages per hour
in the principal manufacturing and
mechanical industries were As per
cent higher than in 1905, the regular
hours of labor per week were 5 per
cent lower than in 1905 and the num-
Der of employees in the establishments
were per cent greater
than in 1905.
The average full-time weekly earn
ings per employe in 1906 were SO per
cent greater than in 1905. The bulle-
tin also makes it appear that in 1906
the purchasing power of an hours
wages as expended for food was IA
per cent greater than in the previous
year and the purchasing power Of a
full weeks wages was per cent
greater.
