COL. STEWART AND CAMP GRANT

COL. STEWART AND CAMP GRANT
 The Arizona Star thinks that Col. Stewart, the military exile at Camp Grant, has not so much to kick about after all. The Star points out many advantages enjoyed by Camp Grant Of which less favored army posts are de- prived. First, there is its favorable situation in the foothills of the Gra- ham mountains where -at an altitude of 5000 feet it enjoys delightful eli mate. 1t is in a rolling country adapt ed to practice purposes" and has great variety of ranges of target practice, varying from any distance up to eight miles," The question of a per manent water supply the Star believes is easy of solution. An s. P. engineer has reported that water can be found in abundance by sinking a well to depth of less than 100 feet at any point within the boundaries of the post" What more in the name Of high heaven can this obstreperous col oneI want? We can almost believe that the accusation of the president that he is an impossible" and can tanEerous individual was not without good ground.
 Col. Stewart and the caretaker at the post, his sole companion, certainly have enough room for such military maneuvers as the regulations of the service require them to engage in. They certainly cannot complain of a lack of target ranges. A range of even less than eight miles would prob ably fulfill the needs of Col Stewart who is not far from the age of retire ment and with failing vision ought to be content with an eight mile range. We suppose just to be stubborn he is demanding a not less than fifteen mile range.
 If Col Stewart and the caretaker have not an ample water supply let them go and dig for it. There it is in abundance within less than one hundred feet of their shoe soles. We can have no patience with Colonel Stewart.

NO DRINK IN THE OLD cANTEEN.

Congress may not be able -constitu- tionalIy, to afford much material en- couragement to the cause of prohibi- ton. but it can at least control the morale of the old soldiers in the na- tionaI homes and deny to their thirst the assuagement of ale, wine, rum or other strong or malty liquors. This much it has done by an amendment to the maintenance bill, as reported by committee, providing that no part of the generous four millions shall go to any soldiers home where a canteen exists. It may be a consolation to some of these old veterans to reflect that, however vexing or torturous the deprivation that this amendment i'm poses, their stay on earth may be shortened rather than prolonged by it; for it seems pretty certain that it will contribute nothing to the limited joys they manage to find in living. depend
 ent on the circumspectious bounty of Government. For those of more reso- lute spirit and still in possession sf some remnant of their former vigor there will be available barrooms to provide drink unrestricted and take the pension money; while their weak. CT comrades may discover in the com plaisance of the medical staff especial encouragement to seek a cot in the hospital.

The prospect of a public building for Phoenix seems assured. There is hardly a probability that the presi- dent will carry out the threat with which he backed his four battleships proposition that he would veto the public building bill unless he should be granted the battleships Anyway veto you'd hardly prove fatal to a bill in which practically every con- gressman is interested. The congress- men could easily disregard the con tingency of the veto. There would be one case at least in which they could count upon the endorsement of their constituents as against the popularity of the president

IL is well to he seen why Director
Mason selected this name for his
orchestra. His aim was to eclipse
anything of the kind ever organized
here before, and II IL living up To it's
name. The concert given last Fri
day evening was the first public
appearance OF this orchestra and il
Is good news that il Is already an
nouuccd that concerts will be- given
at intervals during the season. The
solOists were Earl Gaines, who sang
II fine bass solo; Paul Jones, who
gratified his many friends by his
perfect self-pusscssiun ON his first
appearance as IA violinist, rendering
the Bohemian Girl" perfectly;
Johnnie Robinson played that pretty
gem, Just IA Wcaryin' for Nou, ," on
tn" trombone In IA mastery manner,
making all his people very proud Of
him; Charles Mccarthy sang solo;
Mrs. Kalis delighted everybody with
her artistic singing, and in spite of
the prohibition Of cncorrs was
Obliged to yield to the demand for
one more song. Her solo was Love
is Tyrant, from the opera of the
"Singing GIRL by Victor Herbert
and the encore was always Do As
People Say You Should, " from the
opera, "1hc Fortune Teller" by
Victor Herbert; Director Mason
played that beautiful selection,
Wagncr's Evening Star" on the
cuphonium; Ed G. Barroll, while
not on the program as sOlOist, by
request gave his rendering of the
"Mocking Bird and in response to
the applause that would not down
gave the "Holy City" playing it on
single string. One Of the bright
little things on the orchestra pro-
gram was an original rag-time piece
by Mr.. Barrull The seXtette, com
posed of Misses Pearl and Lizzie
O'Sullivan, Van Cloud, Ed Barroll,
T.. f.. Mason and Earl Gaines, sang
two beautiful selections. Other
members of the orchestra are Miss
es Ncttic and Alta Belle DELANEY,
Fielding Mccormick, A. V. Miller,
ID. j. Doughty, with Miss Ethel
Morris very acccptably acting as
accompanist The concert was

The MOTHERS FRIEND
The Most Complete and Handiest
Baby Go-Cart Ever Madc-See it
at Cole & Nixon's.

The handiest and most complete
thing OF its kind we have ever seen
is the Sturgess Collapsable Baby
Go-Cart, sold by the Cole d Nixon
Mercantile Company. 1t is strong,
compact, and when not in use folds
up in n convenient shape so that 1t
can be carried in one hand. BY n
simple movement of the hand il
opens, and you have "A perfect GO
cart in which to wheel the baby. II
is provided with sunshadc and storm
curtains, and the wonder of il all is
that with single twist of the hand
it folds itself up into compact, flat
package with handle by which 1t
may be carried as easily as an or
dnary travelling bag. 1t is light,
but strong and durable, the frame
being made of steel, and when in
use is one of the easiest baby gO-
carts to manipulate that was ever
made. You can better appreciate
it's merits by seeing 1t operated.
You might think from the descrip-
tion that it is an expensive affair,
but it is not, the price being only
from $500 to $l2.OO aud it is ms
handsome as it is convenient.
Mothers are invited to call at Cole
u Nixon Mercantile Co.'S. and see

The Rand Concert,

The open-air concert given by the
Pennington Band on Monday even
ing Of last week was excellent in
every wsy-in the selection of the
numbers and In the execution. That
the opcn-air concert is appreciated
is attested by the crowd that filled
the sidewalks and the Court House
yard to hear it, and we believe we
voice the sentiment of II large ma
jority OF our people when we say
that we ought to have weekly
concert throughout the summer
season. or course we could not eN-
pect the band to give us these con
certs as n free-will offering, nor
would ii be right to expect any such
thing. The members Of the band
give their time to practice and the
perfection of their music, they are
at the expense of buying new music,
etc, and should be encouraged
The people OF the town ought to
contribute freely to n fund to pay
the band for weekly concerts. They
would prove source Of diversion
and much enjoyment to everybody.
Somebody start it going.

a cold wave swept over the cOun-
try last Saturday lasting several
days. 1t struck here Sunday and
the temperature fell several degrees,
though II did not reach the freezing
point. There was considerable hail
and heavy rain in many localities
Sunday. The weather continued
unpleasantly cool until Thursday,
with overcast skies and frequent
rains. 1t cleared Monday night, but
there waS n brisk wind that kept
away the frost, but Thursday morn
ing there was both frost and ice.
1t Is estimated that the fruit crop
in the Arkansas and Grand Valleys
Of Colorado was damaged to the ex-
tent of $l,0O0,OO0. In northwest
Texas and southern Oklahoma there
was n light frost Monday night. In
some places In Illinois the mercury
