HUNDREDS OF POLE CATS TURNED IN
 FOR BOUNTY
OFFICE OF BOARD or sUPERvIS- oRs DELUGED WITH oDoRIF.
 ERoUs PACKAGES

From the way the trappers are piling up skunk hides at the courthouse these days, it is apparent that there is more activity in this line of work at the pres ent time than in many other lines of business of q much higher social scale.
 Yesterday sixtyseven skunk hides were brought in to the office of the clerk of the board of supervisors. Each hide is worth $l As result, the drain on the county funds is heavy,
 r. F. Rudd leads all other trappers in the amount of skunk hides turned in. During the present month he has presented l21 hides for redemption. With several days still remaining in this month, he expects to bring the total up to at least 200.
 For trapper, *2o0 month is not bad wages.

STATEHOOD |S SURE SAYS DELEGATE
 CAMERON
REPRESENTATIVE IN CONGRESS STATES HIS CONVICTION
 IN PLAIN TERMS
PRESIDENT FkVORS MEASURE
SAYS MAJORITY or BOTH CON GREssIoNAL BRANCHES IN
 LINE WITH HIM

Statehood is absolutely certain at the next session of congress.
 When Ralph II. Cameron, Arizona s delegate in congress, said these words this afternoon there was a light in his eye which showed that he had resolved to do everything in the power of one man to secure Arizona x admittance to the sisterhood of states, says the Phoe nix Gazette of Monday evening
 What are your reasons for being so certain upon that point! 2" he was asked.
 "'The administration is with us, was the reply. "The president is going to peel off his coat and see that Arizona is given justice. Statehood for Arizona and New Mexico is one of the blanks of the republican platform, and Presi. dent Taft is determined to see that the pledges of the party are carried out. v
 twill the president advocate state hood in his next message to congress!'
 ''l would not like 10 make any state ment to that effect, Hs he never told me that he would do so, but l don 4 think there is any doubt about it.
 What is the attitude of congress on the question of statehood9'
 "The sentiment in both houses is overwhelmingly in our favor. When the senate and house of representatives get around to it, Arizona will be given statehood.
 Will they get around to it early in the next session2'
 .'No, don't think it will be before spring. There are other matters of great importance which must be dis posed of first. Along in the spring, sometime, a satisfactory bill will reach it's final passage and be signed by the president"
 Delegate Cameron arrived in the city this morning, accompanied by R. w. Zachau, his private seewtary, better known as "Trapper Jack. " Here he was met by Hoval A. Smith, chairman of the territorial republican central committee. Smith and Cameron held a conference at the capitol building this morning. discussing various matters of @ general nature.
 Tonight the delegate and his seere- tary will leave for Parker, where Mir Cameron will inspect several mining properties. He believes that the Parker district is one of the richest in Arizona and it is possible that he will become interested in one of the best properties in that section. Incidentally. he will inspect the site of the proposed dam which will impound water for the vast agricultural regions about Parker. Just how long he will remain in that vicinity is uncertain. but it will not be more than few days From there he will 90 to Flagstaff to attend to some pm vate business. He will join President Taft at the Grand Canyon and be witt the nation s chief executive on the triI down the Mississippi, after which nc will return to Washington ro be present when congress opens on the first Mon day in December.

had also flowed largely upon the floor, but someone with an eye to appear. anees had swept it out with a broom. Dr. Beauchamp, the city health officer, examined the man after he had been re. moved to the city hall for treatment. He found Origuez head pounded almost to pulp, but was unable from the nature of the injuries to ascertain to just how great an extent the skull was fractured or what the Mexican s chances of life might be-
 4 peculiar feature of the affair and one illustrative of the great tenacity with which Mexicans of the peOn class cling to life, is the fact that Origuez, instead of dying at once as white man would undoubtedly have done, did not even lose consciousness either dur ing or after the bloody beating. AL though lying in stupor and unable even to answer to his own name, he frightened up eagerly and said "Yes, yes, v when the name of Sonoqui his assailant, was mentioned
 The latter has stood in evil repute in police circles for many years' He is squat and heavy of build, with fringe of ragged whiskers, A east in one eye makes his 5rutish face appear even more malignant. Give him fang pro truding from each corner of his mouth, and he would make capital Dr.. Hyde.
 Ii is probable that proceedings against Sonoqui will be delayed for q day or two pending the recovery or death of his victim. No motive for the assault is known. IL is supposed that Sonoqui's rage was due to the fiery dago red inside of him.
