An Echo Picture
 of Pioneer Days

On the walls of the popular resort in Tombstone known AS A. Wentworth's billiard psrlors ;s picture recently &C., quired by the management which con- stitutes veritable echo of the days when Tombstone was verItable sea of life and prosperity, the foremost histo:y-maker of the territory.
 The picture is entitled. Bucking the Tiger, and represents a red hot faro game in full blast. It is a repre- duction Of a photo and the familiar faces of several notorious men who figured in the history of Tombstone at that time are plainly distinguished. The "lay out Is perfect to the most minute detail from professional gam blers standpoint, and the picture seems to carry the "old-timer' back as though q species of necromacy had gathered him up and reeled the tangled web of life back into the eighties.
 It carries the pioneer back to the days the thought of which makes the pulse grow faster, the love ol glory greater and the love of pelf weaker. The days hen every honey bee was re- garded as an angel on the wing, gath ering in the sweets of prosperity and garnering them for the benefit of future generations-the grand old juicy dsys when danger made brothe-= of us all- when the lurking Apacha -inged the foothills with peril, and the frowning palisades of the Cochise stronghold, caused men and women 10 huddle closer toge her-the days when the shImmerlng valley was an unknown sea on which, wher you launched your rttle bark, without compass and with out guide, years after, your mumified anatomy is the only witness to the un- speskabie agony of thirst to which you succumbed-;he days in which those exegencies and extremities converted the ordinary into the noble, the com mon-place manhood into crystalized gallantry, the brave into specimens oi superb knighthood - those glorious, juicy. dangerous, desperate, virturous old days, when every man said, "I'll be be hero or I'll be corpse" and every woman said, "I'll be a goddess or Il be a clod."

Mark Twain
 On Prohibition

Crossing the Atlantic with Mark Twain last summer" said ". c. T L. woman, "I asked his opinion Of the prohibition law. His reply was very characteristic, very humorous.
 "I am friend of temperance and want it to succeed" he said, "but l don't think prohibition is practica! (. The Germans. you see, prevent it. Look at them. I am sorry to learn that they have just invented method of making brandy out of ss dust. Now, whatchsnce will prohibition have when man can take A ripsaw and go out and get drunk with A fence rail What is the good of fprohibition fla man Is able to make brandy meshes out of the shingles of his roof or if he can get delirium ;remens by drinking the legs of the kitchen chairs

CIark's New Road
 Headed This Way

News of the grade having reached the Columbia river to the north makes it certain that the Clark road is surely on its way south.
 Grading has been completed on the new railroad leading from Moapa on the Salt Lake line to RioviIle on the Colorado river. The ultimate purpose of the builders is to make the line a new route to the Grand Canyon of the Colorado.
 It will traverse productive fruit re- zion what is known as the Muddy river country, and sill open for settlement an immense tract of land owned by the Utah-Nevada Development Co.
 The proposition is A very reasonable one, since it will make a direct north and south route from SIexico to Brit ish Columbia, and the Arizona end of it will be the connecting link ia the chain.

Now comes the Board of Trade of Bisbe e Warren, Bakersville or wherever and "resolutes' and uses up a couple of bushels of "where- ases" in connection with the county seat removal propOsi- ton. They stand in the same relation to final results that the cOroner's jury does to the district court, that the grand jury's recommendations do to the esupreme court, that . John son grass memorial does to con- sress; they amount to about as much as a Saratoga chip on the bosom of the Atlantic. Now the poor little county seat has got through with Douglas and Benson and Ky reen and Dos Cabezes and has come back 10 Warren. All this was done at a "bankwet.'
 But the honorable board will find when 1t comes to cases that there is q vast difference between the pyrotechnic ef- fervescence of bum domestic champaign and the old leather pocket book which is necessary to carry out their "whereases" and their ''be it Resolveds.'
 There Is a vast difference be- tween the corkscIew that re-
