A Few Facts for
 Taxpayers to Ponder

Douglas is fan young city and one of the sources of pride to the people of the county and the territory.
 She is distinguished for the occs- sional presence of baby cyclones little spiral winds which gather up all the War Crys and back numbers of the local luminaries, bull fight bills, tsist bother garments from the clothes lines and carry them heavenward, only to disapper in ether. The vsporings of the local press snent county seat removal, are closely in line with this suggestive phenom. enon of nature.
 While the local press is spouting the people, especially the taxpayers, are thinking.
 The term "burden" is repeated until reiteration becomes tiresome. We presume that it would be no burden for the taxpayer, in addition to the heavy weight he is already carrying, to pay interest on bonds to the extent of about three hundred thousand dol isrs more. That would be no burden at all.
 In all civil matters the parties liti- igant pays all expenses and the tax payer is out nothing.
 Tn regard to criminal matters, re- hecting on the article under consid- eration, the Douglas organ necessarily assumes that four fiiths of the crime is committed in Douglas and Bisbee; hence it would save the county the expense of transporting criminals from those poin:s-nOt a hattering contention.
 Hoxever, the people of Cochise county will be there with the goods ii the great day ever arrives, and will quietly demonstrate that a bunch of schemers cannot. for their own private benefit, saddle this burden O. them.

Former Tcmbstoners
 Having Hard Time

An old couple, MT and Mrs Kelly formerly of Tombstone and Bisbee, aged and infrm, arrived in Phoenix Tuesday from Goldfield, Nevada, in a wagon. Kelly, who is 70 years of age, was taken sick in Nevada and decided to come south to Bisbee. He and h S aged wife started out overland with their team and wagon and money enough to make the trip. After be ing out for few days one of the horses died and Kelly spent all his money in buying new horse. When they arrived in Phoenix they had been out of food for hours and were m a sad plight. The Maricopa county board of supervisors has assisted them and they will drive overland to Bisbee, where they have friends.

Chance for Statehood
 Still in the Balance

While Arizona appears to stand a better chance of admission to state hood than 1t ever has in the past, Judge D H Pinhey of Phoenix, who IS now in Washington, D c, in a letter received from him by Attorney Il Lsngston, his law partner, views the present situation with some alarm.
 Pinney is making an effort to win over members of the senate who are not yet convinced that Arizona should be admitted. Their main objection is fear that Arizona will adopt a constitution like that of Oklahoma.
 In his letter to Langston, Judge Pinbey makes the following comment on the statehood situation in Wash. iDgton:
 "lf statehood for Arizona is defeated at this session of congress, it will be done by members of the senate who favor putting otf our admission for another year"

Died at the Home
 of Her Childhood

Word was received here yesterday of the death of Miss Goldie Thornton at her home in Illinois. The young lady s as wei known in Tombstone and her many friends will be pained to learn of the sad news. She came here for the benefit of her health. Failing to improve, and feeling that tine end was near, she expressed a desire to pass the remainder of her days at the home Of her childhood Miss Thornton, accompanied by her sister, who resigned ss a teacher in the public school to accompany her, left bere about three weeks since Death qu'ckly followed her arrival home.
 Thus indeed is pathetic scene pictured as the life of young and dutiful woman is ushered to the be- yond. surrounded by grief.stricken relatives and friends of her youth.

Arizonan Who Claims
 to be 165 Years Old

Of all the strange characters who have visited Phoenix in recent years, Dave Gowan, who is visiting with Deputy Sheriff Jef Adams, is prob. ably the most interesting. One of Gowan's strange assertions, among many others, is that he is l65 years of age. and will live to be 200.
 Gowan has the distinction Of being the oldest living white msn to see the natural bridge in Arizona. Thirty five years ago, while prospecting through tha. section he discovered the bridge. Thirty-two years ago he returned there, started farm and has lived most of that time near the bridge.
 Asked AS to what he attributed his longevity, Gowan sad: "Water, the most despised of the elements ny mary men. I have drank much water pure water and to this l attribute my long life.

Mrs. Or. ]. E. Bacon
 Passes to the Beyond

Mrs. John E.. Bacon died this morn ing about , o'clock, succumbing to an attack of pneumonia.
 The announcement comes as 6 shock to the many friends of pr. and Mrs. Bacon and the news has cast a gloom over tine community.
 Recently taken i'll with dreaded pneumonia, the reports from the sick room, even up to yesterday morning, were reassuring, but during the after noon sudden turn for the worse caused most alarming fears of friends and this morning the patient ard heroic sufferer answered the final summons.
 The deceased won the highest es teem Of the entire community by hel kindness cf heart aud gentle dis. petition. A lady of most kindly us ture, l1vable and devoted, and tht em bodiment of Christian virtues, heI demise is indeed sad. With gentle ness, faith and charity as her guide' she lived; resigned, and fit for crowr of glory, she died.
 To the heartbroken husband berefl of his companionsble and devoted life the heartfelt sympathy and  condolence of the community is ex tended.
 The body will be embslmed and taken to Elmirs, N. r., her childhood home. for burial, Dr. Bacon accom- psnying the remains to their las resting place.

Want Change in the
 CIas sification of Ra ties

An effort is being made to have the Fl Paso & Southwestern adopt the same Justification of rates on certain distilIates of petroleum as are in effect upon the southern Pacific and other railroad syetems operating in the Southwest. The objection is not over the rate on the Southwestern, but the manner in which the product is classi. fled. For instance, the distillste which figures in the complaint, and which is not an Illuminating oil, is clsssl ied ss coal oil. while on the other roads it is classified ss gas oil or fuel oil, winch is used for gasoline engines.
 The rate for Illuminating oil on the Southwestern is Sl6 50 IA ton, wbils for fuel oil it is $2.72 and from thest figures one can see how impossible i' would be to sell distillste that mus pay the same freight as the illumin stirg oil.
 According to the Dispatch tn Douglas Che mber of Commerce ant Mines has taken the matter up witl the proper officials and the opinion I held that the Southwestern vii classify the distillste under fuel oi rates, just as the other roads do.

 Florence Prison Today

For the brutal and cowardly murde of P. B. Hodges near Yuma several months ago, Francisco Msrquez will be hung st the Florence prison this afternoon. and the first execution un der the law passed by the last legisla. ture, providing that all executions Of the death penalty must take place at the prison, will be held Tn Arizona.
 Prison Superintendent Rynning has made all necessary arrangements for the hanging. The scatfold has been built over s cell, and when the trap is sprung the body of Marquee will drop into 6 closed room. He vii! die unseen, the attending physician ns entering only after enough time for death to take place has been sl- lowed.
 Superintendent Rynning will em- ploy electricity in the springing of the death trap. Twelve men will each press 6 button on 8 board, and one of these twelve buttons will be con- nected with the mechanism of the scaffold. No man will ever know whose hand sent Msrquez into etern- ity.
 Probable no more brutal and cow ardly murder has ever taken place in Yuma county than that of Hodges He wac travelling in the mountains with Marquez. aud while ascending a hillside, Marquez shot him to death while Hedges had his back turned.
