OLDEST NEWSPAPER PRESS IN ARIZONA
 IS PROPERTY OF T0MBST0NE PRoSPEcToR

TOMBSTONE, Sept 12-Perhaps of all subjects ever contemplated by the pioneer or brought to the notice of old time lore mongers, the most superb monument remaining to immortalize the sacred past, is the homeIy, the neglected, the dust covered tablet of silent eloquence in the form of an ancient Washington lever press, in the old Epitaph office, now in the posses sion of the Prospector
 This is absolutely the first printing press ever brought to the territory of Arizona. In 1858 this sacred old re- corder of current events was brought around the Horn it's jealous owners fearing to trust it to the tempestuous jaws of the Straits of Magellan.
 It is numbered 9, an original Wash ingtOn, and first did duty in the West in Tubac on the Arizonian. Since that it has had wild and devious history which can be established along with it's record and identity without the loss of link, and today it stands. spe- cies of shrine before which the pio- neer in general and the mesquite printer in particular. intuitively bow in spirit of indefinable reverence.

BULLARD MAKES
 ARRANGE EMENTS
 FOR AUTO RACE
First GIidden Tour of South west Will Be Run Between Tucson and Phoenix On First Day of Territorial Fair.

| PHOENIX, Sept. 12.-Having ar ranged all the details of the first GlId- ' den tour to run in the southwest, G. , P. BullaTd, superintendent of the auto races at the territorial fair, returned ] from Tucson this morning. He states that about twenty cars will take par, in the Tucson-PhCeniX run on the frs, day of the fair
 When Bullard reached Tucson Mon day he found the auto owners there of the opinion that it would be i'm. possible to arrange for run such ,ts had been discussed. On account or the condition of the roads, they feared that a race would practically ruin eE- cry car that competed.
 BullaTd then suggested that the run take the form of a Glidden tCur and come to Phoenix.
 Glidden tours are not as much a test of speed as they are of skill ana endurance. The route Som Tucson to Phoenix will be divided into four sections, with stations at Red Rock, Florence. Desert Wells and Tempe.
 The touring cars will be given two and a half hours to make each sec
 
 stated number of hours or every min ute more, the owner of the car com petirg will be penanzed one minute.
 The car that re9ches the fair grounds vita the fewest penalties anG in the best condition will be awarded first money. From this it will be seen that the first car to reach Phoe- nix may not necessarily win first place in the scoring.
 Scorers will be placed at each Of the stations. The distance to be run is 124 miles. end twelve hours win be the time limit for the run.
 BuIlard talked with Colonel Epes Randolph of the Randolph lines about the use of the Tempe bridge. Ran dolph not only gave the use of the bridge, but said that ne would see that it is planked- He added that he will do everything he can in Tucson to make the fair a big success.

Good Order Among "Kats" and
Third Class at V. NJ. 1,

There has been a conspicuous
absence Of desertions and resigna-
tions this session, and from those
in close touch with the innermost
workings of bArrRks it is learned
that there has ben practically no
hazing at the V M /.
So far, Superintendent Nichols
has received ND complaints from
parents of new csidets. Last year
when the present third class was
struggling with the experience of
being "rats" its convictions on the
subject of hazing were both def.
mite and decided. 1t was thought
just as well while their feelings
were running so strong in this d.
rection to have them register these
views in writing and declare, over
their own signatures, that they
would never willingly, take part in,
or countenance any such business
either as parties of the first or
second part.
At the opening of the present
session, by way of refreshing their
memories, these ci-devant Gratis"
now chesty third classme1 |, were
called together for heart to heart
talk by the Superintendent and
their declaration read to them
with explanatory notes. This in
cident accounts for many OF the
cheerful letters which 60 home
from the present fourth class t hese

corps as whole and all indica-
tions point to harmonious and

Houses Still in Great Demand


Notwithstanding the steady
building boom which has been en-
ioyed by Lexington tor the past
year or two, the supply of houses
falls far short of the demand, and
people are clamoring for more
houses. With a sufficient number
of houses the population of Lex
ington could no doubt be easily
increased several hundred. The
demand seems greater for small
and medium houses than for large
residences. Comfortable houses of
five to seven rooms would command
good rents.

ago, efforts were made to secure
