A Rural Item From
 An Arizona Exchange

The following is one of the rural items clipped from the recent issue of the Kingman Mineral Wealth.
 "Hon Carl G Krook, is up from the hog ranch with a flock of roosters He left the SOW and three little pigs in good health but the setting hen has rheumatism in her incubator and can't lay any more. The crop of wild bees have buzzing in their helmet that indicates an approaching election for the State of Arizona. The sassa- frss Is budding and the odor is on the rose, the lark sings in the meadow, the shinook zephyr blows; the hogs are in the corn again, we dent care . darn for that, the brindle calf we soon will kill and render out the fat"

The Greene Co.
 to Enter Cattle

Within day or so it Is expected that 25OO or 5000 head of cattle from the Greene Cattle compsny's ranches of Sonora ~iil be imported, says the Bisbee Miner. These cattle have been bought by the "4 Bar" outfit in the Sulphur Springs valley and will be crossed at point necr Hereford
 The Greene company expected to be shipping out cattle from its Sonora ranges at the rate of twenty-five cars week to California. but for some reason the shipments have been stop- ped although there were several thousand head of cattle to be shipped It is reported that the terms were not satisfactory and that the cattle com pany is holding it's cattle for a better price. The indications are that there will soon be a better market.

 The postmaster-general has been informed that the new stamp does not conform to the international agree ment.

The Human Fish
 Comes to Arizona

The Phoenix Republican notes the arrivalin in Phoenix of the most re- msrksble man on record, Mir. Frank Annis, the human fish. He came 10 Arizona from his home in Belliugham Wash. Mir. Annis has attracted the attention of the medical profession all over the United States ever since his birth some thirty years ago.
 When he was born it was found that his body was completely covered with tiny glistening scsles which grew larg- CT with age. By the use of vaseline and medicinal preparations he has kept the scales from his face and hands but his body resembles that O! 6 dis- mond back rattler. The scales grow on his body as thickly as they do on a California orange tree and are just as hard to get rid of.
 One of the peculiar features O. his case is that he has an aversion to fsh and never touches it. "I am 60 much like fsh myself" he said, ."that would feel like A cannibal if l ate one."
 The medical experts who shave ex- amined Annis consider the fsh-like appearance of his skin as one of the
 most peculiar of birth marks on rec ord.

VISIT TO ARIZONA
Famous Painter
 of Arizona Redman

Frank Sauerwein, ane of the most virile painters now in the southwest 6 in Phoenix and will make that his home during the winter. MT. Sauer- weIn has just come from Taos, where he has been for the past two years. While there he devoted his time to painting Indian life, which is his spe- cislty. In this branch he has few superiors. He has always obtained high prices for his pictures and found no difficulty in disposing of them. Some of his recent work at Taos is very beautiful. Mir. Sauerwein was president of the Denver Art club and was one of the foremost figures in the art colony of Southern California. He will probably paint desert pictures while here.-Phoenix Republican.

ARIZONA SENATORS
Method of Choosing Same When Ter
 ritory Is Admitted to Statehood.

With statehood for Arizona A com. parAtive certainty of the not far dis. tant future and with several avowed aspirsnts in the field in both parties for the honor of being the first to rep resent the new born state in the sen- ate, the proposition of how to choose senators in the coming state is one of frequent discussion. The Citizen says that some people have the idea that the state constitution will settle the matter and make it one of legislative choice or direct vote by the people. Such is not the case. To secure the election of United States senators by the people the national constitution would have to be amended. The pres ent movement for the election of United States senators by the people is oi comparatively recent origin In the convention that framed the con- stitution of the United States four plane were discussed. l. Appointment of senators by the President; ?, cleo ton by the people; 3, election by the House of Representatives.; 4, election by the state legislatures.
 In Arkansas, Mississippi, Texas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, rennes. see, Alabama and several other states, senators are nominated st party pri maries and the nomination is ratified by the legislature elect'ng the nom- inee. There IS no doubt but that the sentiment in favor of popular election or instruction for United States sen. ators is growing and is likely tC pre- vail. Whether it will result in an i'm provement of the senate or of legisls- tion Is another question that can only be decided by experience,
 We believe; however, that a vast majority of the people of Arizona favor the idea of the popular election of United States senators and that some means will be taken after Ari- zona's admission as a state to bring 1t about.

4 Good FeIIer'
 Just So Far

Honesty is mighty fine virtue, but it is not the only card in the deck. No matter how good your intentions, you can't treat your friend right without you employ a little judgment, a bit of common sense, some times a bundle of muscle. o, yes, he's a good Heller" he'll pay you when he gets it, if he dOesn'trun onto somebody or something else first. This species of honesty is beggarly and entitled to very little respect. Let a man combine effort with h i g honesty, then he will have a golden assest to his credit.

Careless Hunters
 Caused it All

H. K. Street manager of the Bo- quillas Cattle Co was Tombstone
 visitor today on court business. MT. Stree. recently put ban on public duck hunting on the company ranges along the river, by prohibiting pro- miscuous shooting within their limits. The damage done by careless nimrods and uncertain msrksmsnship of others caused the order.

Buv Stamps on Rural Routes.

Postmaster Chas. J. Purcell desires
to call attention to the practice OF
some patrons of rural delivery of plac-
inc loose coins in their boxes each
time they desire to dispatch letters
instead Of supplying themselves WITH
postage in advance Of their needs.
This practice imposes Undue hard
ship on rural carriers in removing
loose coins from boxes and delays
them On the service Of their routes.
The postmaster, therefore, urgent
ly requests that patrons Of rural de-
livery provide themselves and keep
on hand a supply of stamps consistent
with and in advance Of :helr needs.
It is also very desirable that rural
patrons place in tneir mail boxes
small detachable cups OF wood or TIN
in which to place coins. when neees-
sarv, in purchasing supplies OF
stamps.
