GAMBLING IN ALL FORMS
 4 THING 0F THE PAST
Tempe Saloon Keepers Are Notified
 of the Passage of the Anti Gambling Bill.

Deputy Sheriff Chris Sigala has re- ceived instructions from the office of the sheriff to strictly enforce the anti gambling law which took effect on Feb. goth, 1909. The principal features of this new law are as fol- lows, to quote from the act as it passed:
 Any person who shall gamble by any device or in any manner what soever in any saloon, shop, store. storehouse, tavern, hotel, club. club room, or in any street, highway, or public place, or in any outhouse where people resort, or in any room or place maintained for gambling or as a gambling resort, or in any room or place where intoxicating beverages are sold or served, shall be guilty of misdemeanor.
 Any proprietor, owner or part own CT, lessee, manager or other person having management supervision or control, temporary or permanent of any of the places mentioned in the preceding section, who shall knowing ly permit any gambling to be done or carried on in such place, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor."
 According to the above the use of slot machine, whether it be for money or merchandise, is a violation of the law and the playing of a game of cards for the drinks or the shaking of dice for a cigar constitutes mis- demeanor. The player is equally as guilty as the owner of the machine, and as a result of the law, there will be a number of slot machines in Tempe that can probably be bought cheap The deputy sheriff yesterday notified the saloon keepers of all the provisions of the law and the ma chimes that have heretofore occupied a prominent place on the bar, have either been set aside or have been plugged.

we escape if we neglect so great sal- vation?
 If we would walk with God we must go His way. We are saved to serve and not to neglect. Jesus said: Go ye therefore into all the world and make disciples" Responsibility rests upon you christian-there will be souls lost throughout eternity that might have been saved, had you done your part. Neglect, neglect-no vio- lent act, no rebellion, no chafing- simply neglect. An, how the world is suffering today from neglect. The business man neglects his business and a foreclosure is the result. The banker neglects his bank and it is closed So with christians, they neg lect their Bible readings. neglect their prayers, neglect church services, and other means of grace, and the result is a cold, critical. back biting professor. An, the world will never be won to Jesus Christ with the church in such a condition Neglect ing so great salvation for pleasure, for gain, for position. What must be Gods attitude towards us for such actions?
 You say, well that don't apply to me for I make no profession. Listen, God says in First Peter. if the right eous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? You are on the road b doom, but hold out to you now an opportunity to receive Jesus Christ. Will you ac- cept Him? Or will you neglect this offer of salvation?

4 CALIFORNIA INTEREST
 IN ARIZONA STATEHOOD
The Venice Chamber cf Commerce
 Helps the Cal .e Along.

The secretary of the Tempe board of trade yesterday received q letter from the secretary of the Venice, (Cal,) chamber of commerce that shows plainly that California is talk ing an interest in the statehood mat ter. From the text of the letter. which is given in full below, 1t is evident that the failure of Arizona to secure statehood at this session Is in no wise due to a lack of good will from the Venice organization.
 The letter is as follows:
 The following letter has been sent to the Hon. Frank P. Flint, United States Senator. at Washington, D. C., and other officials. which speaks for itselt:
 Dear Sir-The Venice Chamber of Commerce sends you greetings with warm sentiments of approval of your action in favor of the admission of Arizona into the Union of States. Arizona is a country for us to be proud of, destined to support a large population Of producers. Forests, mines and agriculture make Arizona rich in resources. This grand district is today fully equipped for statehood. Its mines are prosperous producers of metals; its forests furnish lumber: its ranges abound in cattle and sheep, and it's agriculture, with sun, land and water united, already such a wealth maker, has only opened a ca- reer that will surpass ancient Egypt. Arizona will be amongst the most brilliant gems in the diamond of the Republic.
 Very respectfully,
 VENICE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
 w. A. Rennie, Secretary.

A BAD PRACTICE WILL
 BE DONE AWAY WITH
The Leaving of Horses on the Street Over Night Arouses the Wrath of the Marshall.

In Justice Carr's court yesterday John Doe was fined $7 or 10 days for leaving his horse on the street over night. The animal was put in a stable in the small hours of the morning. Another John Doe put up a ten dol lar cash bail for his appearance on a similar charge. His horse was put in the stable at half past two yesterday morning. The marshal is determined to break up the practice of leaving animals tied up over night at public hitching posts. Even though in a cli- mate such as this, the discomfort to the beast is not as great as it would be in a colder place, it is neverthe- less a practice entirely unnecessary and inhuman to say the least.
 The judge also sent one, c. F. Kern, up for ten days for creating a dis turbance Saturday afternoon.

 Just why Jones should have been made the particular bearer of all these troubles is not definitely known. It has been explained. however, that we are all so alike that we are all differ ent; consequently. troubles come, and often come very much alike There fore. assuming that the Jones" are as many, more or less, as one family, 1t is possible that it was for this reason that Jones" was chosen.

THE MAKING OF 4 MINE

Work continues unabated on the properties of the Arizona -Bouse Cop per Company at Bouse. Since our last announcement the force of men at work has been increased and a Fair banks Morse gasoline hoist has been purchasd and is now installed on the Little Butte shaft. This shaft is being sunk rapidly and drifting continues in both directions. The full face of the drifts and the bottom of the shaft are in ore so that no waste rock need be handled. The ore is being piled up on the dump and as it averages 10 to IS per cent copper, and sS to s10 gold, it will yield a handsome return. to the company in a short time. The cars already shipped have netted over s700. after paying the freight and smelter charges
 HOW TO GET INTO COPPER.
 The time to make money in copper is between organization and dividends Before dividends are declared the price of stock is invariably below par after dividends, usually much above par The man who has a million to invest can afford to buy a mine after d often waits until then. The man of moderate means can not afford to buy at the top-notch price. He CAN af- ford to buy stock at the organization price. His enterprise. his judgment and his faith count for as much as his subscription.
 For a few days the price of the Ari- zona- -Bouse Copper Company stock re- mains at Is cents. It will be to your advantage to secure the benefit of the reorganization price as the stock will certainly advance rapidly.

Sign ISLANDERS the
Spokane Exhibit

Spokane and the whole Inland
empire has reason to be proud of
the exhibit maintained by the
chamber of commerce on the Sec
ond floor of the Hutton building.
There isn't anything of similar
character in the state to compare
with it. An hour there is time
pleasantly and profitably spent by
citizens as well as visitors.
On the elevator lattice of the
first floor hangs a card telling
where the exhibit is. This card is
about the same design and finish
that small boy fashions when he
launches out in the homemade lem
onade business with an eye to &C
cumulating pins and marbles. Per-
haps the sign has its mission in
the way of contrast, for no visitor
could anticipate the really fine ex-
hibit awaiting him from glancing
at the card 1t is more suggestive
of invalid cabbage and stale string

WARM HEARTS IN ICE HUTS

Meme, the Eskimo boy who soon leave the United
States again to live outside ice hut has sized up
Americans and their manners with sentiment that will
bear repeating:
''What is cvilizaton? this child of the ice country
asks. cts keeping everything you get and getting
everything you It's smiling politely instead of being
generous! It's being pleasant when it doesn't cost you
anything!"
We don't look to the lips of Eskimo to issue words
OF WISDOM but Meme mirrored the whole painted pre-
tending contemplate social scheme practiced in
big cities with this: lts smiling politely instead of
being generous!''
Any man with money give some of it away and say
he's generous By the standards yes Then there
sympathy Money will not buy it, and heart that is dried
up with sefshness can't give it. The face smiles, the
heart is blank.
Meme is going back to savagery people think but
we suspect he likes the people in the frozen country be-
cause they know how to be generous
The Eskimo has sized up the New York phianthropsts
who fed and clothed him. He calls them ungenerous He
got smiles but he didn't get sympathy He got all he could
eat and drink and wear and generosity color the
courteses that these proud superficial silly people show
cred on him.
6nobbery. smiles, silliness-but no sympathy.
When will these polite people take the words of the
Eskimo 70 hearth

PROPOSED PANAMA HIGHWAY.
A Road for Motors May skirt the

A Road for Motors May Skirt the
Banks of the Canal.
The Royal mail boats, the Hamburg
American boats, the French and Ital-
ian boats all bring their quota of tour
lists and sightseers onto the isthmus,
everyone of whom seems to be carried
away with the magnitude of the work
going on and with the conditions as
they find them. 1t would surprise me
if, in the near future, because of the
magnificent climate and of the natur-
al interest that is being centered in
and about the isthmus on account Of
the building of the canal, a great win
Ter resort should be built up here; es-
pecially would this be foregone con-
'clusion if good roads should be con-
structed clear across the isthmus
along the route of the canal. Roads
are being constructed upon both sides
OF the isthmus by the isthmian canal
commission. Mileage is not very ex-
tens!ve, and there seems to be no
tangible movement toward extending
the roads now being constructed
across from Colon to Panama. The
distance is only about forty-seven
miles, and if pike should be laid
out and we'll macadamized, there could
be no more beautiful highway imag-
ined for the driving of automobiles
and horse highway vehicles, especially
SO if the highway should skirt along
the banks of the canal and the nu-
merous lakes which will be formed
thereby, so that the panoramic view
could be maintained In all Its beauty.
There Is just enough rise and fall to
break the monotony, and at the same
time afford easy grades for vehicles to
move upon.
This is the only highway in the
world where one could cross from
the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean in
two hours time. 1t is also the only
place in the world so far as l know
where the sun seems to rise and set
over the Pacific ocean viewed from
the land. 1t is also the only place in
the world, if my geography is correct,
where town on the Pacific ocean lies
east of another town located upon the
Atlantic ocean, as is the case with
Panama and Colon. 1t would be a
splendid thing if the isthmian canal
commission would construct a road
from Colon to Panama.-New Orleans
Picayune.
