Fact. About the Capitol.

A walk over to the national capitol
reveals TO you an edifice well worth
seeing, and only after spending some
time in walking through it can you
gain conception OF what the domes-
tic life Of the capitol is. For instance.
consider that 1t contains 40 rooms
which are, used for Office. committee
and storage purposes: 679 windows.
$50 doorways. 40 fireplaces. 261 wash
basins and sinks. IA bathtubs. 10 ven
tilating fans. Is motors. elevators.
1000 horsepower of boilers. s steam
pumps. lighting service equivalent to
25,oO0 incandescent lamps OF sixteen
candlepower each and over 1900
square feet Of skylIghts. This is all
on the inside. and when we look over
the outside and the forty acres OF land
to be Kept up we begin to realize that
it Is no small job to keep the cobwebs
out Of the capitol and the weeds out
Of the yard.-Pathfnder. &"

ARizoNA's PROSPECTS.

When conditions shall have re-
turned to normal it viii be seen that
Arizona will at last have come TO her
own-that is, general recognition that
she is supreme in the mining world.
The world at large has in late years
looked upon Cripple Creek and Gold
field as the wonder mining sections
of the universe. The reason of this is
that those camps have been conduct
ed in a spectacular manner. Some
of the ablest newspaper men in the
country have in times past been en-
listed in Goldfield by the daring, en-
terprising characters who have made
that camp world famous, and by the
methods of publicity they used and BY
that alone has the idea gone forth
that Goldfield is the richest mining
camp in the world. All this time Ari-
iona has done nothing in the way of
legitimate exploitation OF her re-
sources and the result has been that,
while immeasurably richer than Ne
vada, the fact has received no general
recognition Arizona now has one
press agent, however and larrup-
ing good one,-in- Fstz-Mae of Phoenix.
His recent figures, showing Arizona's
supremacy in mineral production,
were surprising even to Arizonans.
How much more will they surprise
the rest of the world! With Fitz-Mac
for Arizona and a live publicity ex--
pert for every big mining camp in the
territory it is impossible to conceive
what a transformation would take
place in this territory in FIVE years.
But even without them Arizona will
go forward by leaps and bounds. The
sold safe and sane portion of the
mining world are tired of the spectac-
ularly aid grossly. loverdrawn. They
want a mining country that is sol d,
safe and sane, and Arizona fills the
bill

THE REPUBLICAN
KEYNOTE.

AS the keynote of the rest of the
session of congress is announced this
week from Washington, it is ex-
planned on the decisive authority of
the republican speaker Of the house
that it is caution and postponement
The country is told that the expenses
of government are increasing with
revenues decreasing 10 the point
til late in the session before begin
ming to consider such necessary I'M
provements as the deep-water connec-
ton between the lakes and the gulf
and the deepening of inland water
ways. When this has been already
referred to a commission, referred
back and re-referred, we are promised
a commission to bring the same pro-
cess to bear on the reform of monop-
oily tariff taxation and other disturb
ing issues.
In connection with thi process, the
presidents message has been re-
ceiyed and filed with his previous
messages. All are resonant, says the
Republic, with loud keynotes on near
ly every. conceivable issue and on
some no other president ever did con.
eeive. There are also on file, not Of
ficially but in reach of the republican
speaker, of evry republican commit
tee chairman and of every other re-
publican in the house and senate,
copies of correspondence which
passed betweenfthe White House and
the authorized agent who collected
$3.50, 900 of the fund used in control
ling results in the last national cleo
ton.
In Washington libraries this cores
pondence, with the names of contrib
utors and the amounts they gave the
republican party, with payment ex-
Dected from the republican congress,
is available for reference. as it is in
other libraries, including those Of
well equipped newspapers in ali parts
of the United States. How then are
all the people to be fooled ali the
time from the opening of the repub-
lican campaign in January this year
until is close in November?

Senator William B. Allison of Iowa,
chairman Of the committee en- appro-
pr.ations. favors action by congress
looking to the care and support Of
expresidents of the United States. In
an Associated Press interview he re-
ferred to the recent utterances of
former President Grover Cleveland on
the subject and agreed with him that
some provision should be made IN
this direction. The matter deserved
consideration at the hands of con-
gress. he said. and undoubtedly would
receive it. In the case Of Thomas
Jefferson, who died poor. Mr.. Allison
said the government would have done
well to pay his debts. At present
Mrs. Garfield is receiving an allow

said to make provision for ex-presi-

Pumpkin Pie.

Some low-browed, pessimistieal sta
hstician has arrived at the deduction
that pumpkins are growing scarcer
rear by year. This means, of course,
that by the time the city folks get
vacation and hurry into the pastoral
country, the pumpkin pies win be all
gone. Some time ago the great prob-
lem was Shall we open the minis to
the free coinage OF silver" etc. Later
the question of How to be happy
though married" asitated the COM
monwealth. Now we are up against
the real thing. II we may be allowed
the slang of common par'ance,-''Is
the pumpkin pie to become obsolete?"
Perish the thought How we have
reveled in the luscious pumpkin slice!
1t recalls the halcyon days, the days
OF aspiration and faith, before the
rude hand Of experience blue-pencHed
a few things on the page of life. Up
20 the present time, we have been
permitted to recall this joyous period
by occasional communion with pump
kin pie. Now we are to be forever
~: off-the pumpkin is growing
smaller and smaller. fewer and fewer
each season. and will soon be a mere
curiosity for the sideboard. Time was
when at cattle shows pumpkins were
fed the bovine beauties to keep their
hair sleek, and the man who raised
tie biggest pumpkin carried on the
finest prize. Alas, one by one the joys
of youth are being sSsfJts away and the
pumpkin FeiIs 'iRtdTthe dim beyond
along with .othern7 beloved things, a
mourned luxury of the old-fashioned
days. Somehow these statisticians are
depressing. They shatter many hap
Ply memory and create hobgoblins as
children build mud-houses. Vale the
pumpkin pie But we still have plenty
OF material left for mud-pies. Perhaps
we should be thankful for that.

Snake Story.

A story is current of man living
near Kirk. in Panner county, being
bitten twice by tattlesnakes.' 1t seems
he had stepped over a fence when one
snake struck him in the ankle. He
killed the snake and sat down to open
tse wound with his knife, and while
thus occupied another RATHER bit him
on the back Oh the hand. He trans
ferred the knife 70. his left hand and
opened thar also and then FASTENED
to the House, caught and opened a
chicken and placed it on the wounds.
Beyond some swelling neither bite
proved serious and he is getting along
nicely. We could not learn the mans

LIVE ONE" IN

One institution in Douglas which
was perhaps hurt as much as any
business house in the city during the
depression but which has weathered
the storm splendidly under the direc-
ton Of the skilled mariner who has
been in colarnand is the Y. NJ. c. A.
When men were laid off at the smelt-
ers and at the shops scores Of mem
berships were lost to the association.
some OF whom were the live ones"
too, and their absence was greatly
felt. But Secretary Eastman saw that
st was up to him to make the best Of
it and that best Of it" mas been ex-
ecuted nobIy. Mr.. Eastman has in
stilled new life into the association
and put ginger into every depart
ment Of 1t. The Y. NJ c. A. is dis
tinctly a place for men-not men Of a
certain class or caste. but place for
men with red blood in their veins.
It is not an institution for the exploit
alton Of long-facedness, nor is it a
place to be conducted as social ad-
junct TO the city. Mr., Eastman real
lied that IN order TO make Of the 10
cal association a place that would APP
peal to the material Of membership
afforded in Douglas and make Of the
association building home-like place
he would have to offer something with
vitality in it. Broad-minded and lib
eral in his ideas he has done things
which attracted men equally broad
minded and Iiberas, and the associe-
ticn even in times Of financial stress
has felt an impetus It has never
before known. It is pleasure to see

NEW MExIco's CLAIMS.


The Los Angeles Herald, while adj
hitting the propriety of taking New
Mexico into the union, reads the
boosters of that territory lesson on
the improperly of some of the argu-
ments they are putting forth.
In urging congress to enact a law
enabling the territory of New Mexico
to enter the union of states, the chair
man of the New Mexico statehood
league declares that the present popu-
lation of the territory is 100000. 1t
is such statements as these, thinks
, the Herald, which are easily dis
proved, that make some OF the pre-
tensions of New Mexico ridiculous in
the eyes of persons who are informed
in regard to conditions in that terri
tory. ...
1t is true that the figures dealing
with its population have been juggled
until they have become exceedingly
lively, but the most expert mathema-
tician cannot manipulate them so as
to give a population nearly so great
to that territory, While some sec
lions of New Mexico have grown in
population since the last federal cen
sus. which placed the number of in
habitants at 1880, including the In
dams, who compose no small proper
ton of the population, there is little
evidehce that the present number Of
inhabitants exceeds 100000, if, in
deed, it is so large. According to the
World almanac the estimated" Popu-
:ation on January l, 1907, was 302,-
900; but as this estimate was made
by the territorial bureau of immigra-
ton a notorious padder of statistics
relative to the advantages offered by
the territory and as VIGOROUSLY an
el.minator of statistics relative to the
uninviting features of the Land OF
POGO Tempo" as our DR.. Lummis has
named it, it is safe to assume that
the present population is somewhere
in the neighborhood of a quarter OF
million.
There are many good reasons why
the privileges OF statehood should be
conferred upon New Mexico, and
some contrary reasons; but the least
of the former is its present poulation.
When we consider the fact that 81
per cent of the population in 1900
could not read speak nor write the
\ English language and that many thou
sands of this class are Indians, we
are prompted to advise the people Of
that territory to refrain from quoting
imaginary census figures in behalf Of
Their contention that this territory is
ready for statehood.
If they viii make their chief argu-
menss the fact that their territory as
at present governed is regarded by
the Southern Pacific and the Santa
Fe railway systems as little better
than tunnel by which these roads
may reach the Pacific coast and that
under existing conditions it is not
possible to compel these railroads or
the great lumber grating corpora
tions in the territory to pay anything
like their just proportion Of taxes,
they win be more likely to obtain
favorable hearing in Washington than
II they resort to such a misrepresen-
tation as is to be found in claim OF
400 goo population.
