won't go in the west The public
 won't stand for prohibition any great
 length of time.
 T believe in restricting the saloon
 business by high license, but these mossbacks who go around footing their
 prohibition horns do more harm than good. That ain't no way to get at it
 The saloons should be regulated
 Drinks should not be sold to drunk ards. I have seen more drunkenness where there was supposed to be pro- hibition than l have anywhere else.
 The saloons should not be done away with but the public should be edu cated. A mans common sense should tell him to drink moderately and he should not be told what he shall eat or drink or how he shall eat or drink 1t by the legislature or a city's council" He then spoke of the wonderful de- velOpment of the territory since the first time he came here twenty-five years ago. All this country needs to make it a marvellous agricultural dis trict is water: and I understand that you are getting that as fast as you can build dams and reservoirs. Then you need statehood to lend a certain insurance to outside investments which may come here. They tell me you raise oranges here: l did not know that before'
 He was assured that We not only raise oranges but we raise the best and highest priced in the eastern markets.
 "Ain't no use talking. boy. this is a fine country to grow up in" John L. finished his breakfast and showed back from the table. As he wiped his big fists on the napkin he said: Look at the dingy finger bowl they sent me. Does MT. Adams think l can get me fists into that? When I wash my hands I want a bucket"

He always wears a uniform and salutes you whether you are a general or a private The first thing he did when he came to Arizona was to buy a khaki suit
 At the Coliseum, where John l.. Sullivan and company opened for a weeks entertainment last night, a large crowd was assembled long be- fore the hour for the first perform ance. The number of those seeking admission was so large that many were compelled to wait for the open ing of the second performance and even then were turned away and will be compelled to wait until tonight to catch glimpse of the great worlds champion. Throughout the progress of the act which preceded the ap- pearance, and which was one of merit, the crowd manifested great impatience for the big attraction of the year.
 Finally as the closing act of the performance, Frank Hall, the mana ger of the company. appeared and briefly recounted some of the achieve ments of the champion and gave a brief character sketch of the man He then introduced John L.. who after a witty monologue. gave an exhibi- ton of the art which has made him famous. In spite of a severe cold which had kept him confined to his bed for the greater part of the day yesterday. the champion appeared in good form and in spite of the extra hundred pounds of flesh which he has put on since his fighting days. he was able to elude the blows of Kilrain. who throughout the bout of three rounds was constantly on the aggres- sive. Although the fight and the spirit of it was different from the historic battle of these two men, who fought for seventy rounds in Vicksburg with bare knuckles under a broiling sun. yet it was sufficient to give one an idea of the skill and the ferocity with which that battle must have been fought. The great pugilist will ap- pear every night until next Monday and will undoubtedly be seen by all of those interested in the sport of boxing As real fighter, one who
