Offers to Purchase Part of Coconino

The state of Utah seems keen to acquire a portion of the common wealth of Arizona, and, failing to get the land by act of congress, it is trying to buy straight out. The strip of land coveted is a portion of Coconino county, and lies north of the Colorado river, being cut off from the main portion of the terri tory by the Grand Canyon. Gov ernor Kibbey and Speaker Webb have received communications from c. John Smith, a member of the Utah legislature. asking this terri tory to fix a price on the strip of land. The communica tions were referred to special committees in both houses of the legislature, and there undoubtedly they vii! be permitted to slumber undisturbed.

Model Legislators

Mir. Breen of Coconino is the only member of the legislature who has not introduced bill during the session. Probably he was kept busy crawling out from under the avalanche of bills the other fellows showered upon him, says the Pboe- nix Democrat. ta&s
 Representative Coalter followed MT. Breen's example. THE NEWS has kept close track of the proceed ings of the legislature and has failed to notice the introduction of bill by our assemblyman. These gentlemen evidently believe that there are too many laws now on the statute books, and concluded, as far as they were personally con cerned, not to burden them with any more. The general opinion is that the country is governed too blamed much, anyway. HsS7e.

Had a Hurry Up Call

Saturday night at 1915 o'clock Dr. Rounseville was hustled out of bed with orders to bring all of his tools " to a special engine await ing him at the depot. Within a few minutes the doctor had arrived at the depot. and at 10:3O p. m. he was on his way, whither he knew not. The engineer opened up the throttle and at mile a minute clip he sped by Supai; when he reached Mcclellan the doctor began to think he was kidnapped. The engineer, keeping up the fast speed, reached Fairview; the doctor turned his head toward him, but the engineer said not a word; but when he reached the next station (Holmes) the engineer brought his steed to standstill, and pointing to the sec- ton house told the doctor he was wanted. It was a 9-pound boy owned by F. L. Melville.

Narrow Escape From Death

Brakeman Shearer. on the local between here and Ash Fork, met with an accident Tuesday afternoon at the latter place that might have resulted fatally. While trying to let brake loose on a water car the brake slipped and it's velocity was so great that it knocked Shearer off the car, which was being backed up. He rolled off in front of the car and with quick movement he wiggled himself off the track with the exception of one foot, which was badly bruised, although no bones were broken.
 The agent at Ash Fork tele- graphed here for a doctor, and Dr. Jeffries left on No. 7 and bound up the injured foot. Shearer was taken to the Santa Fe hospital at Albu- querque on No. 8 Wednesday morn ing, Prince Yoder accompanying him. It is said that amputation will not be necessary.

The MinstreIs Thursday Evening

Hi Henry's minstrels struck town Thursday, arriving in special car. If there is anything in the theatrical line that the people of Williams dote on it is a minstrel show, and when this is supplemented by a street parade with a band of music, a crowded house is assured.
 The show Thursday evening was no exception to the rule and a large audience filled the opera house. Many of the jokes were good and most of them original and timely; the slack wire work, contortion feats and other special ties were we'll received, and the singing and dancing greeted with hearty applause. On the whole, the entertainment seemed to greatly please the entire crowd.

HIS SEARCH REWARDED.

A romance in real life, with one of the principal characters. in:1the drama known to many people>lin Williams, was brought to light last week. w. J. Waggoner, .an engineer on the Santa Fe; who lives, at Ash Fork, has at last found-his father, whom he had never seen, and the old man himself was una. ware of the existence of a son.
 Shortly before the war Henry Marvin married Tillie Waggoner'at Pekin, Illinois. When hostilities began Marvin enlisted. After the war he started west, leaving his wife at Mason City, III. Some time later he received 8 false report that his wife was dead and without am bition to return to his old home, drifted further west and finally married again, but he never. ceased to mourn for his first love.
 In the meantime the first wife gave birth to son and, believing herself deserted, didn't let the boy know his real name until she was on her deathbed 16 years ago. Then she confessed that she had given her son her maiden name.
 With the slender information that his father had been a soldier, young Waggoner, or Marvin, went to Washington, where he attempted to trace his parents movements through the records of the war de- partment. After 16 years he was successful and located his father at the Soldiers home at Sawtelle, Cal. The elder Marvin, in spite of his age, is as youthful as his son, and has accepted a position with a mercantile company at Las Ve- gas, Nevada. t@cy.

Repairing the City Jail

Jesse Gregg, chairman of the board of supervisors, was in the city Tuesday. While here he con tracted with George McDougall for the removal of the old cells from the city jail, and the work of tearing them out is now almost finished. Two new steel cages will be put in, cement floor laid, and the front part of the building fitted up as an office. It is expected that everything will be in readiness for the proper reception of guests by the 1st of May, as the board willin all proba bility award the contract for the cages at the April meeting.

The Gubernatorial Tangle.

Governor Kibbey, whose re ap- pointment as governor of Arizona was sent to the senate several weeks ago, was not confirmed by the old congress. His friends state that the confirmation will come at the special session of congress, which will begin on the 18th of March. His opponents state that the confirmation will not take place and that new governor, who will be either w. $. Sturges. George U. Young or J. c. Adams of Phoenix will be named by President Taft.

Anxious to Serve the "Dear Peepul"..

There's scramble all right for appointment as railway commits sioner. Three members are to be selected by the governor and al- ready 75 applications have been filed for the positions. The com mission will consist of an exper- fenced traffic man, an attorney and a private citizen. It'sa soft job, with a good salary attached, $250O year, but, of course, that's no inducement to the army of applicants-they merely have an ambition to serve the dear people, and this, THE NEWS freely admits, is most com mendable on the part of these self sacrificing patriots. 7 gat

Much Tobacco Used

1t is wonderful how the old sildiers
consume tobacco. The sales OF The
weed at the Home store at the
Southern branch will average on tor
and a half a month. Place this grea.
out put with the enormous quantity
purchased in the near by towns cut
side the branch and the total amount
OF smoking and chewing tobacco alone
purchased by the members will readi-
iy average over two tons each month
in the year. The use Of the weed is
the members, one great solace. and
they enjoy it to the full The receipts
from this source as well as ali other
monies taken in at the branch store
and its adjuncts go to the Post Fund
and this fund bears the expenses of
sill the theatrical and other amuse-
ments to which the members are ad-
mitted without cost.

Adjustment Of csnteen.

Much comment is INDUCED regard
ing the discipline since the eradica-
ton OF the canteen-
There is no question that it has de-
terioated and up TO this time has put
e great deal OF extra work on the
executive officers of the branches.
While the beer hall was in vogue, the
great majority OF the members we're
satisfied to do their tipping at the
canteen. but since that adjunct has
been out Of service they go outside
and indulge in strong liquor with the
usual result.
The annual report OF President
Wadsworth. Of the board CT managers,
for the ascal year ending June 30
1905. has this to say on the subject:
In compliance with the act Of con-
gress approved June 30. 1906. the sale
Of beer 70 members Of the Home was
discontinued on the 4th o. March. 1907
A period OF eight months elapsed
since the closing OF the beer hail
during which time the general policy
as to administration and discipline
has not been otherwise changed Re.

An Unusual incident.

II Is such a rare occurrence that an

fact that all mortals are not Of the

After the subject had been thoroughly
discussed Me-. Tavney reached the
conclusion that the duties we're entire
" too onerous for such salary ss pro-
posed BY Mr. Brovnlow and finally
made the figure $500 per annum,
thus cutting on 1880. and this

The Tonsorliasts.

The barber shop at branch OF the
National Home is an adjunct that Is
largely patronized. The general price
for a shave Is SC; hair cut 1oc. The
latter figure prevails in all the branch
