The weekly Record is new red hot republican paper launched on the sea of journalism at Globe, with James s. Bishop as editor. It has all the appearances of a pa- per that had arrived to remain. Republicanism in the southern part of the territory seems to be more popular than ever, as this is the second republican weekly estab- lished within a month.

It is claimed by some one in Tue son that a rainbow appeared there at night. Mescal and other intoxi- cants of that variety are extremely injurious. often causing optical il- lusions. Now if any resident of Tucson had an attack of hydropho- bia when he saw a rainbow there would have been more cause for re- mark.

(C2erk--ForeSl SerViee) CHANGE FOR EMPLOYMENT
Remunerative Positions in the Forest Service with Good Chance for
 Advancement.

The United States Civil Service Commission announces an examina- tion on September 23, 1908, at the places mentioned below, to secure eligibles from which to make certi- fication to fill existing vacancies and vacancies as they may occur in the position of clerk in the Forest Service, at salaries of $900 to $1 200 per annum, depending upon condi- tions of service and location. El- igibles will be subject to appoint ment for service in forest supervis- ors' offices and district administra- tive offices at various points throughout the west. In a few places, owing to local conditions, the appointment of male clerks only can be considered. Many of the places of employment are desirable from a residence point of view. The Forest Service does not furnish either houses or subsistence. Ap- pointees will be expected to report at places of employment at their own expense. The duties to be performed consist of carrying on office correspondence. keeping up files, and conducting routine busi- ness during the absence of the for est officers in the field. It is espe- cially desired to secure the services of men for a number of these posi- tions.
 In Arizona and New Mexico these examinations will be held at the following places: Phoenix. Pres colt. and Tucson. Arizona; Albu- querque and Las Vegas. New Mexi. co.
 For information relative to the scope of the typewriting tests. ap- plicants should apply for Form IA to the United States Civil service Commission. Washington, D. C.. or to the secretary of the board of examiners at the postoffice, St. Paul, Minn. Denver, Colo; or San Francisco, Cal.
 This examination is open to all citizens of the United States who comply with the requirements.
 Age limit, IS years or over on date of the examination.
 Applicants should at once apply either to the United States Civil Service Commission. Washington. D. C.. or to the secretary of the board of examiners at any place mentioned above. for application Form BOA. No application will be accepted unless properly executed and filed with the Commission at Washington. In applying for this examination the exact title as giv- en at the head of this announce ment should be used in the applica- tion-"Clerk Forest Service.
 As examination papers ar shipped direct from the Commission to the places of examination. it is necessary that applications be re- ceived in ample time to arrange for the examination desired at the place indicated by the applicant. The Commission will therefore arrange to examine any applicant whose ap- plication is received in time to permit the shipment of the neces- sary papers.
 On account of probably moving the administrative offices to Ablu- querque. New Mexico. between De- tober l and January 1. 1909, there will probably be special opportuni- ties for employment in that city.
