ARIZONA AND NEW MEXICO

Generally speaking, the two great territories of New Mexico and Arizona present similar problems and a similar degree of develop ment. New Mexico has twice the population of Arizona, but Arizona shows a greater development in metallic mining. New Mexico far exceeds Arizona in farming and live stock raising, and mines vast quantities of coal, of which Ari- zona has but little Both territories Ire wonderfully rich in mineral md timber resources, as yet hardly y touched.
 Both territories have within the past five or six years experienced | notab ble increase in wealth, popu- lation, railway mileage, value ot products, school enrolment. land area in cultivation, mines in opera ton and commercial activity.
 New Mexico got an earlier start than Arizona, and was earlier clear ed of Indians, earlier brought into cultivation, earlier prospected Arizona has the advantage of hay ing attracted more eastern capital to the development of the mineral resources. Both territories are ambitious, intensely aggressive self reliant, highly intelligent. Progress is rapid. New railroads are under construction all the time. New regions are being brought into notice. new mines are being opened up, and not day passes but some discovery of note is announced.
 Climatic conditions in both ter ritories are similar to those of El Paso and western Texas. Both territories are only at the begin hing of their careers, yet they arc already great and powerful com monwealths, with strong men run hing things.
 Both territories have fine public school systems; all the usual evi' dences of advanced community life, such as churches, public li' braries and public utilities arc found in every town. There arc newspapers everywhere and the people keep up with the best O. current informatio and discussion
 Both territories have their older communities and their new "magi cities Vast mining and smeltel industries are esta blished in tht mountains. New Mexico has the greatest coal deposits west of th' Mississippi river, and Arizona hal the largest pine forests in th' United States. The hills are ful of mineral of value beyond th' power of ina gination to grasp, ano mines opened few years ago art now among the worlds leading producers.
 The valleys of both terri'orie' are marvelously rich and onI, wait irrigation to produce abun dantly of every variety of product from the fruits, grains, and vege tables of the north temperate zone to the dates and figs of torrid lands The earliest fruits and garder truck, the sweetest forage crops il the United States are produced il the irrigated valleys of these ter ritory.

GROSS EARNINGS AND

May and June, the railroads showed
some indications OF success In hand

In the face of continuing high

and OF the impo5sibility OF reducing
wages, this was no easy task. But

THE MALIGNED BARBER.
A Defense OF the Meek and LowIy
Tonsorial Artist.

The professional hmmorist has q
few jokes which have survived the
fall of dynagtie and the crash of
worlds and which will pursue their
J triumphant career until Gabriel ap-
pears with his official announcement
Time is, time was, but time shall
be no more!"
One of these jokes relates to the
loquaclty of BARRIERS. Because of
the industrious professional humor-
, list the tonsorial artist has to live
down a worldwide reputation for
idle, superfluous and Improbable
conversation.
Have yom ever seen barber who
| talked too much? The Gazette ney-
eT has.
When you go into the temple Of
the barber to have al operation per-
formed upon your aching whiskers
you Will find him and his associate
attending to their work quietly and
industriously. IL they are not busy
they Will all go quietly to their
chairs, treating you with pleasant
courtesy, but not volunteering any
conversation. If you insist upon dis
cussing the living issues of the day
while your alfalfa is being mowr
you will probably have an attentive
listener, but there will be no debate.
The barber who is making your face
look human will let you do the talk
ing.
Many worthy old men and women
who shave themselves or don't shave
at all have a deep seated idea that
barber shop is a wicked sort OF place
where people read sporting papers
and tell yellow stories and exchange
spawned jokes. This is also entire
ly erroneous. Pink papers are no
longer seen In first rate barber shops,
and the customer given TO vulgar
language would soon be made to un-
der-dand that his patronage was not
wanted AT such n place.
There are low down barber shops,
just as there are low down drug
stores, hotels and grocery stores
But in the places OF the better class
the atmosphere is always good and
clean, and the proprietors, being de-
cent and respectable themselves. do
not want the money-or the conver-
sation--of those who are not decent
and respectable.
So mach for men who have been |
misrepresented and maligned by Jay
morists.-Emporia Gazette.

GOT IN ALL THE NEWS.
Cummings Killed Lot of Ads. and
Raised n Row.


When Amos Cummings was man.
aging editor of the New York Sun,
many years ago an important news
story came in late one night and was
sent to the composing room with
must" written above II, which
meant that on no account must the
news be left out of the paper. A few
minutes after the copy boy returned
to the editorial rooms and reported
that the foreman had said the paper
was already overset and that two
columns OF other news would have 20
be killed II the must" story was to
get in. Cummings took the copy
from the boy and went himself to the
composing room. He demanded an
explanation. The foreman told him
that there was a pressure of adver-
tisements that night and that they
had usurped some of the space usual
ly given TO news.
what shall / kill?" asked the
foreman
"Kin two columns of advertise
ments and print all the news" or
dered Cummings, and It was done.
The next day there was trouble
around the Sun office. A hurried
meeting Of the stockholders was call
ed, and II was a stormy one. Some
of the stockholders wanted to have
Cummings discharged, but Charles
A. Dana stood up for him. and as
Dana owned the greater part of the
stock his voice was all powerful
After the meeting Mr.. Dana walked
out of his Office and straight to Cum
mlngs desk. He put his hand az.
fectionately on the managing editors
shoulder and said:
Amos, you have my permission to
throw out advertisements to make
room for the news whenever in your
opinion Il is necessary. We are pub
fishing a newspaper, not an adver-
tising poster"
Shortly afterward an Improvement
was made in the presses so that two
or more pages could be added TO the
paper at the last moment If neces-
sary.

The Wrist and the Arm.

The real wrist, as one might say, is the elbow joint. It is all hand, prac- tically speaking, from that point to the tips of the fingers. When you turn your wrist it is the whole forearm that makes the twist, and every move ment of the fingers is controlled by the muscles of the forearm. The power to turn the wrist to and fro at the ell. bow joint is possessed only by human beings and monkeys, and even the higher apes are not able to do the trick nearly as we'll as we can. In this movement the great biceps muscle in the upper arm Is importantly con- cerned, it's s>powerful action in turning the forearm outward being accounta- ble for the fact that we are able to put so much more strength into twist in that direction than the opposite way. Many of our most familiar tools indeed, such as the screwdriver, are made with reference to the anatomical pecullarity in question. It is for this reason and no other that all screws turn to the right.

CHOLERA AND THE GANGEs.
Whitewashing the Reputation of the
 Sacred River.

The revolting customs which pre- vail among pilgrims to the Ganges' including promiscious bathing py those who are we'll and those who are suffering from diseases of all sorts and the drinking of water from the bathing places, makes the following item from the Indian Review some what of a surprise.
 "The reputation of the water or the Ganges among the Hindu mil lions of India is known to all. and most of us were content to believe that in hot and thirsty land Ike northern India such a magnificent river as the Ganges had many claims to be highly thought of; but 1t would appear as if modern science vas coming to the aid of ancient tradi- ton in maintaining special blessed. ness of the water of the Ganges. E. H. Hankin, in the preface tol the fifty edition of his excellent pampn- let on The Cause and Prevention os Cholera writes as follows:
 Since I originally wrote this pamphlet I<have discovered that the water of the Ganges and the Jumna is hostile to the growth of the chol- era microbe, not only owing to the absence of food materials but also owing to the actual presence of an | antiseptic that has the power of de- stroying this microbe.

Reed and Strout.

Thomas B. Reed served in the navHl during the civil war, and in 1865 h% returned to Portland to practice law. One of the strongest men at the Port land bar at the time was A. A. Strout. Before beginning the trial of a suit it was Strout's habit to inquire of every juror as to the state of his health and impress each with the idea that the lawyer was scllcitous of that jurors personal welfare. Reed and Strout were constantly antagonizlng each other, though they were very good friends. Tn nearly every case of im- portance Strout and Reed were on op- poslte sides. It was annoying indeed for the suave Strout to hear Reed drawl out before the opening of a case.
 "Well, your honor, Brother Strout having finished his morning task of shaking hands with the jury, we may now, I hope, proceed with the bust. ness of the court"
