RAILROAD
 RiGHTOF-WAH.
Douglas InternatlonaI.)

Douglas Internationally
 The representatives of the Mexico & Colorado Railroad company, own ers Of the proposed railroad from Douglas to Courtiand, have been al work for two or three weeks taking options for right-of-way privileges through the valley on the proposed line Of railroad. A great majority of the ranch owners. we are informed have willingly giye3 the right-of-way through their land. believing correct ly that the presence of a line of rail roSd must very materially add to the vaIue of all land. The sound of the whistle of a locomotive engine Is the bas. evidence of civilization and all must agree that =oal estate nearest to civilization and the railroad whis- tie is the most valuable, as a general rule. Where the rroposed railroad would disturb Improvements it is proper that the. owners of these i'm provements should have just recon pense for damage, but any disposi- tion to demand an exorbitant price shows a lack of proper appreciation of the value which will be added to the ranches in the Valley through which or near to which the proposed railroad Ein run.
 It might be possible to hurt Doug las should very many land ownerz be unreasonable in their demand for high prices for -ight-of-way for ;he Dcuglas-CourtIand railroad and should Douglas be injured by driving the southern terminus to Forest station, or even west of that point every ranch tributary to this city would share in Ihe harm done to this city. It is to the interest of the owner of every acre of land fin the valley to work in every way possible for the upbuilding of this city. The larger Douglas grows the more value will be added tc every acre Of land between this city and Courtland.
 The Sulphur Springs valley is wide enough to accommodate many lines of railroads with a free right-of-way through it and of course it will be natural for the Mexico & Colorado to seek the route where the expense of right-of-way will be the least Should the terminus of this line be at Pores; station it would be a detriment to Douglas and this would be a detri- ment to an the -enches that must necessarily depend on the progress and growth of this city for their value.

The Phoenix Gazette calls on the democratic legislature now to come. to the rescue of the Arizona statehood bill, by providing a bombardment Of the senate. where the only opposition remains to our admission. During the last campaign the Gazette de- clared that all that vas necessary to insure the prompt passage of the statehood bill before the end Of the present session of congress was the election af a republican to congress Now. according to the Gazette, there are other things to be done and the legislature is in . position to do some of them. By all mems let the legis- lature respond prom fly to the call Of the Gazette for help.

There is not mnca danger of a rail road being held up for a right-of-way through the Sulphur Springs valley, with it's breadth Of twenty miles of practically level ground. but such an attempt might do much harm to Doug las in forcing a terminal a long ways from the city. Douglas should stand ready to assist all the railroads de string to enter this city in securing reasonable terms for right-of-wsy and for a terminal.

Speaker of the House Received Stick
of Licorice From New Yorker.

Speaker of the House Received Stick
of Licorice From New Yorker.
One of the most curious gifts that
have ever been received by Speaker
Cannon came to him recently from A
". Ten Eyck CT New York. 1t was a
small stick of licorice inclosed in q
common envelope without word of
comment. says Il Washington dispatch.
The package lay il the New York post
Office for ten days because Of INSULT
cient postage. 1t was finally forward
ed by Postmaster Morgan and opened
by L. Whyte Busbey, the speakers
secretary.
. The round tube of licorice was exam
ined gingerly before it was shown to
the speaker in order that iNs identity
might be fully determined.
''It might be bomb" was the sug-
gestion made by visitor to the speak
er's room.
''No," answered Mr.. Cannon. 1T was
probably sent by some friend to break
me Of the tobacco habit"
Mr.. Busbey says that the licorice is
one Of the strangest bits of CORE
spondence he has ever been called on
to answer. Some time ago a match
and piece of bologna sausage were
sent to the speaker. but the name of
the sender was not given.

ALL BLACK BALLROOM.
Furnishing Craze Started by One of
Eneland's Richest Women.

Furnishing Craze Started by One OF
EneIand's Richest Women.
The latest craze In furnishing is the
all black ballroom. The fashion was
set by Mrs. Houldsworth of London,
one Of the richest women in England,
who inherited most of the money left
by the late MIR. Assheton-Smith. The
walls Of her drawing room, according
to London cable dispatch, are of
solid black ebony, with a deep frieze
Of gold flowers.
Above the frieze is line of mirrors.
and in these are reflected electric
lamps, each inclosed in a golden lily
which stands out in high relief from
an ebony panel. The effect is to throw
up the bright colors Of the women's
dresses, and the long line of mirrors
prevents any touch of somberness.
Lady Drogheda. who only recently
returned from very up to date
honeymoon. was SO fascinated by Mrs
Houldsworth's ballroom that she is
following suit with an all black dra W.
ing room relieved with silver and
countless small electric lamps ingen-
iously hidden in its holdings.

Edward Everett Hale.

HE giveth his believed sleep."l
FOR him no heart In all the world
has any soreness than of grief.
His was the kindly God who curIed
The tendrils and who spread the leaf.
Who gave us sky and sun and rain
AND saw the world that il was good
NO god of wrath and greed and pain.
6at one or human brotherhood
He asked no god of grimy gold
TO give what mortaIs call success.
He Worshiped not in accents cold
The mammon of unrighteousness
But just the good of doing good
Was all he wrote within his creed
And joyed when that he understood
The healing of another's need.
Gods gladness in his clasping palm,
Gods sunshine in his cheering smile.
He gave to aching hearts a balm
And conlforted in sorrows while.
And he was great-not of the sword.
Not OF the miry pride of craft,
Not or the clutched and clinking hoard
Not of the rivals venomed shaft,
But ne was great because he went
The path of giadness day by day
And all ne earned OF Joy he spent
For those he met along the way.
A hngly greatness this of his.
But with no trace of kingly hate.
For brother love and kindness is
The base of what is truly great
And so he folds his hands in sleep,
His work we'll done and his reward
In that he hears the chorus deep
OF them that sing before the Lord
What finer thing has God 10 give.
What nobler task is writ on high.
Than having such a life 10 i've
And having such a death 10 die2
