Dreams that become realities, Over
and over again has the world wit
messed such development, and no
claim can be made for the future part
which the submarine and the airship
are to play in warfare, which seems
impossible or improbable, although
there are many military experts who
smile at the idea that either the sub
marine or the airship will ever be
much more than novel freaks in mill
tary equipment. But on the other
hand the big world powers continue to
buy and build the submarine and to
experiment in air navigation and
there is no telling what may not be
accomplished in the years to come in
perfecting these engines of war along
practical lines.
The recent shipment from New York
city of two submarines. destined for
the Philippines. and the near approach
of the extensive maneuvers which
have been planned for the rest of
the home fotilla are again attracting
attention to the type of craft which
carries its load line over the hatch.
In the discussions which have taken
place relative to the merits of the type
there is a notable difference of opin-
ion. There are now upward of 200 of
this type afloat. or perchance sub
merged. and 1t may be small exagger-
alton to say that there are as many
divergent views concerning them.
There is no naval power, great or
small. but now has its submarines.
The vast majority of these are merely
variants of the Holland type. Having
evolved the type. and having spent the
best part of his life in perfecting it,
Mr.. Holland. of course, has implicit
faith in his invention.
The following table shows that
France now leads the world In this
type of vessel, possessing sS, built and

The second week of the big schol- arship contest opens today, and the indications are that the results will eclipse the phenomenal run made last Saturday. with a full day to work. The boys and girls are setting out with renewed spirit and each with a determination to land their score nearer the top of the list. One little girl has shown what can be done with a little persistence. and though down near the bottom of the list at first is now half way to the top. Others who are far down the list may be expected to make some de- cided changes in the next few days, as they are going after the sub scriptions in the right way and are leaving no stone Unturned. Each has the ambition and pluck to win and none are "quitters" because they are a few votes behind. They have some thing of full value to offer and are each trying to earn for themselves an educational course at some one of the best schools in the country.
 There is a great deal of changing about again in. the scores this morn ing Yesterday two big-hearted men came into The Republican office, the one renewing to the tune of fourteen months, 96O votes. the other one a new subscriber. paying for year. l LOGO votes, and ordered the points given to the score of Hazel Slankard. They said: We are boosters for Hazel"
 Mary Kerr was again heard from for good gains, taking her up the line a few notches It is interesting to note the hustlers as they rush into the office with beaming faces each evening, excited and happy in the race that promises so much. They all speak of the enthusiastic support of the people everywhere who are boosting for them.
 Saturday, a Big Day.
 This is Saturday, if your favorite finds you today. boost him or her with a good subscription, give them happy smiles and good wishes along the way.
 Way to Get New Votes.
 The best way to get points is to rustic new subscriptions, for the new ones count more than the old ones, and the way to get new subscribers is to ask everyone you see to help you win your desired special course or the piano if that is what you are after. Get them to save the coupons for you
 Special School Courses.
 Too much cannot be said in regard to the special school courses The Re publican will give to the winning contestants. A school education is an absolute necessity of the times, and a thorough business, musical, vo- cal or other training can be secured by these young men and women only in these institutions devoted eX- ciusively to these special lines of in- struction. The Lamson Business Col lege, the Phoenix Business College and Academy, and the Arizona School of Music are the best equipped and the best organized schools not only of Arizona, but of the entire south west

Tobacco Crop Better.

Messrs. Won Kapff & Arens have pre-
pared the following annual tobacco re-
port;
The 1906 crop Of Maryland tobacco
marketed in 1907 consisted of 21,363
hogsheads, including 1850 hogsheads of
new ground leaves and about 1,075
hogsheads bay or upper country tobac-
co. The crop of 1907 is estimated to be
smaller.
The quality Of the new crop, judging
from the small quantity received so far,
will be better in color and less dark
honse-burnt and dull green mixed and,
taken as whole, is reported to be of
light, chaffy quality.
The 1906 crop of Ohiotobaceo amount
ed to 4,149 bogsheads, which have all
been sold, except I'll hogsheads in first
hands consisting of 20 hogsheads scrap,
As hogsheads aircured and 1903 hogs
heads firecured. The 1907 crop is es-
timated to be much smaller. Only about
200 hogsheads aircured were received
during the year, which were bought for
home consumption.
Prices of Maryland tobacco ranged
from 4 cents to IA cents, according to
quality and color. Some of the stock in
first hands (s25 hogsheads) would have
been sold if it had not been badly mixed
part crop and part seconds.

CONDITION OF MARKET.
Note that 466 hogsheads have been
added to previous shipments of Domes-
tic Tobacco. This is entirely due to the
fact that some tobacco which has been
off and on during the year credited to
foreign shipments have been found to
have been used by the Domestic Mar
ket, and this is the only way to correct
the error and give each shipment the
correct number of hogsheads. The Leaf
Tobacco Association of Baltim ore con.
ours with this correction.
Market is unchanged. To repeat,
planters should be careful in handling
new crop and not force it on the mar
ket.
