NEW DOPE FOR ARIZONA

Within a fortnight after the presi dent had spoken the word that means death to joint statehood for Arizona sand New Mexico. 8 union of Arizona with the state of Nevada was sug- gested. And now, before the sugges- tion has had time to cool, it is pro posed to unite Arizona with southern California. Next, we presume, they will have this territory joined to Utah 1: after that, to Colorado.
 Whence come these unions on pap CT? Do they originate Tn Arizona, among those who are most vitaIly in terested in any combination in which Arizona is one of the contracting par. ties? Beyond even a peradventure mol Then, wherefore so much thus ness2

 Single statehood would be more quickly gained, and infinitely more satisfactory to the people of Arizona There Is no Cood reason uD&ry the sun why Arizona should not zow- , at the present time-be en1,}ed tc single statehood.

MIGHTY SKUNK KILLER.
Chief of Them All Lives in Maine Vii
 lage-iis Long Score.

Hunting skunks is not a sport which is followed very largely in DIaIIIvI szys au5usIe TvIUrr HUT aio thiia th Fish Fish and ETae in the finely illustrated report which they issue recognize these animals as game. Yet regardless of this and it's unpleasant features the hunting or skunks has its votaries.
 Chief among the skunk hunters in all these parts Is Scott w. Burnham, of Manchester, who in eight years, with his good Major has killed 1900 bobcats. Major is a cross between a St. Bernard and a water spaniel and while having few other accom-. pIishments, was exceedingly pro ficient in following skunks.
 The hunting was all in the night time. when the animals were abroad searching for food. Early in the even ing Mir Burnham, carrying a lantern and accompanied by Major, would start out for the fields, woods and pastures. The dog. finding a fresh track, followed it the same as g hound would trace fox, barking all thu time.
 Coming up with the skunk. MT Burnham would dispatch it with a club. Major never attacked until af ter the killing. when he would take the body of the dead skunk in his jaws and shake them vicously. He did not seem to mind the smell at all
 Sometimes the game would crawl into stone wall or some hole. when Mir. Burnham, with buckskin gloves on his hauds easily pulled out the animal. Several times he has been bitten. Occasionally the hunt lasted far into the night. even until the dawn of day, and distance of twen- ty miles would be walked. The best record for one night was twenty-eight skunke
 The poleoats were skinned end the belts sold. being in demand at good prices. The bagging of s1o or SIP worth of skins in a night was com mon occurrence. But Major the skunk dog. recently died. aged 10 years, and

Attorney In Land Fraud Cases Tells How Tanners Are
 Being SwindIed,

OMAHA. Neb.. Sept. 19.-S. F. Rush of Omaha, special assistant At torney-GeneraI of the United States, who will assist in prosecuting for the government the famous land fraud csses h Idaho in which United States Senator Borah and other prominent men are defendants, said today re garcing the cases and the prosecution of them:
 T can say 1t Is the intention of the Department Of Justice to bring the cases to trial without reference to the prominence of the defendants. There has been a practice for years of syn dicafes and spectators to acquire possession, fair or foul, of large tracts of lands and now in Wyoming and Colorado there has recently arisen a tremendous agricultural spirit. stim ulated by the dry farming process and the spectators are unloading these lands upon farmers and whc ever will purchase them at from g to sS per acre and are making mil lions out of these lands.
 ~The same observation win apply te the irrigated and mountain districts of Idaho and Montana. These iazS spectators have through soms means, acquired title to nearly every available acre of agricultural land and the farmers must pay the price l they expect to get hold of them fol agricultural purposes.
 q have been over vast tracts oi fhese segregated lands and also mrck of th auduientiy-aequired lands ol Nebraska and I am free to say the Nebraska lands are simply paradise as compared with some of the Colo raio, WsUn1Ing. Montana and Idahc lands.
 ~0ut about Kimball. for instance the spectators are holding thelI lands at from BPS to s27 per acre and are getting that for them. It Is ths same lands that were characterized only a few years ago as worthless and every sort of effort was under taken to prevent the government from restoring these lands thus fraud nfently acquired by the speculztors back to the public domain for the use of actual. honest settlers.
 This land is capable of producing

Son Will Probably Be Appointed His
 Deputy.

General Herman o, Averill, cattle commissioner, had a sinking spell Thursday afternoon at his home in the town of Washington. His temper ature ran up to 1O4. He had, how ever, more comfortable night Thurs day and his temperature yesterday morning was 101
 The governor has no power to ap- point temporary commissioner and the business of the office, which is ac- cumulating particularly that part of it referring to the dog law, is practic- ally suspended, there being no one having the legal power to act. Gen eral Averill has power to appoint a deputy to perform the duties during his illness, but as his mind has not been clear since the disease became serious no appointment has been made. A written certificate of ap- pointment of the generals son, Ralph Averill who thoroughly understands the duties, has been prepared and sent to the generals home. When he has lucid moment he will be asked to give his assent to the singing of the certificate for the appointment of his son.

HERO OF LIBBY DEAD.
General Thomas +, Rose, Man Who
 Dug Famous Tunnel.

New York, Nov. S,-Brevet Brig. Gen. Thomas Elwood Rose, U. s. A, retired, who died in Washington on Wednes- day, led the party of Union soldiers who dug their way out of Libby prison during the civil war. While the ex- cavation of that tunnel did not con- sume the time which the Abbe Farias "galerie" required when he and the Count of Monte .Cristo plotted to es- cape from the Chateau dIf, it was the result of many weeks of desperate work, and, as a piece of human drama, had the additional virtue of having ac- tually occurred.
 The funeral will take place to-mor- row morning in Washington, and the body will be placed In Arlington ceme- tery.

T in the sum which the board of finance may appropriate
 It was also discovered and brought before the board by MT. Moran that by vote taken on August it had been decided that power to advertise for bids on the plans was given to the committee only upon the condition that the board of finance had already pro- vided money for the school. Inasmuch as this condition had not been met it was found that the bids were not in order anyway. Now 1t is understood that the committee will find out about how much money is required for the school and then ask the board of fin- ance to appropriate 1t. After the ap- propriation has been made the board will then bring the plans so that they can be worked into school for the money received.
 In defense of the committee 1t was stated that one member had seen the board of finance and had been told that his committee should get bids to see what the school would cost and then the board of finance would make the appropriation. The bids had been ask ) ed on the strength of this but without a board vote giving power to do so. It is generally understood that the new school which will finally be settled upon and built in Greene street will { have an assembly hall and that it will lhave swimming pool which was in- corporated in the plans submitted for bids.
 1 A delegation of Italian citizens ap- peared before the board last evening, consisting of Rocco Ierardi, Anthony Su6neslo and George Nicolari who pre- sented petition from the Italo- -Ameri- can Civic association supporting the as- sembly hall and swimming pool in the school. They were practically assured that there would be an assembly hall built in the school.
 Professor William Bailey. the econo-
 mics and sociological professor, chair
 nan of cure committee, and E. l.. Worden, as secretary of the United Civic societies, appeared and favored an assembly hall They were opposed to a swimming pool how ever, taking the stand that it was not the duty of the school department to take up that side of civic work and that it would be unsanitary. They thought this was the work of another depart
 nent Professor Bailey, who has made a special study of slums and slum con- ditions in New York stated that as a result of his studies he felt that such a thing should not be incorporated in the schools.
 A petition from the Associated Civic Isocieties for the use of the school halls for lectures and so forth was considered, and as a result of this and numerous petitions of similar nature the board adopted the following re- port of the school committee.
 "As requests for the use of school buildings occasionally reach the board of education and the superintendent the committee recommends that s,u- thority be given to the superintendent to grant the use of school buildings
