It may be true that the housewife who systematizes her work finds ample time to improve her mind," always providing that she has only herself and her husband for whom to keep house.

."I have had a quarrel with my fance am sure he was in the wrong, but think he wants to make up, but is too proud to say SO. Do you advise me to say the first word?'
 So runs the vail of a very forlorn young woman. Certainly, I advise her to speak the first word, and say the same thing 10 every young woman similarly sit- uated.
 So long as two people love each other, it doesn't matter in the least which is the first to make up. Generally it is the supe,1 ,ior person who makes the first adysnce

 TREE ON STAGE AFTER SHOW.

Anybody ever think about how an actor celebrates Christmas, these Thespians who revel in the applause .of crowded houses, who bow and scrape before numerous curtain calls and cater to the public's demand?
 Naturally placed in the nomadic class by the rowing fife that falls to their lot, they haven't much oppor- tunity to celebrate Christmas by the home ffreside as most bodies do.
 Take, for instance, the Reed and Arbuckle company at the Orpheum. Abiding in room or two and eating out" at restaurants. they haven't the opportunity for Christmas cheer that most of us haye-but last night re- solved to make the best of opportu- mites. and the way they did it. on the stage of the orpheum. where they have delighted Bisbee audiences of and on for six months or more, proved that they probably had jollier time than quite number Of ordinary in- dividuais.

GOVERNORS REPORT SHOWS READINESS.

The report of Governor Sloan which has been filed with the Secretary of the Interior department at Washing. ton, and by that department made public. is long and comprehensive. He starts with the declaration that the people of Arizona are unit in their desire for statehood and that not only do they desire it but that they conf. dently expect it. This is a declara- ton to which no one in the territory will take exception and the executive certainly voices the will of the peo- pie in those words.
 The report shows that Arizona is prosperous. It places the population of the territory at 100000, but states that it is difficult to arrive at any accurate estimate. the figures being deduced as result of various school  censuses. The financial conditions of the territory are reported as being ex celient. While the cash balance O hand in the treasury on June 30. 19e was but ss76.704.sS as against s4Ss , s24.51 on June 90. 1908, this does no indicate any falling off in the tern torial revenue which increased fo the year sa2.662.62 and amounted n ss15, ,4sO.2O.
 The summary of assessed valuation is also an excellent argument for iD1 mediate statehood for. less all ex emptions, the valuation of all prop erty is placed at sS2, ,6S4 4,062. .56. oi this amount mining property is placed at SIS. POS. 9.67S.76. This almost equals the combined valuation of other lands and livestock or of livestock and rail iOduS SOaiDluSO
 The output of the mines of the ter ritory also make a showing which adds force to statehood demands This was the largest in the history of the territory for the fiscal year end ing June 30 last, though it's value was below that of the preceding year ow ing to the low price of copper and silver, the gross value of the mineral product was s42.24s.2S141.
 Altogether the showing made by Arizona in the report of the governor is one of which every citizen may well feel proge.

Once more. old Father Christmas has beat 1t in the direction of old Mother Earth and today stands looking the whole world in the face with a beam ing smile and proverbial glad hand that everybody's willing to grasp just little harder than they did last year.
 Sports of all kinds are, year after year, claiming more and more holi- day attention, even in the frozen lands of the north. where it is only possible to pull or athletic stunts upon ice and snow six feet thick or more.
 Locally while the weather man has given the district Httl ethe worst of it, first by sprinkling snow around, letting it melt and form a delicious slough of mud. then by shooting down 3 bunch of rain drops almost sufficient to make a river out of the Sahara desert. yet sportsmen are planning to go through with what they've start ed at all hazards.
 This refers particularly to the ini- tial matinee meet of the Warren Dis, trict Driving club, which has so en. thusiastically taken root that the weather will have hard job indeed to freeze or drown it out Suffice it to say. however. that with the peep of sunlight bestowed yesterday, and with the addition of little extra work with the roller, the track is in perfect condition for the events. the first of which will begin promptly a; l o'clock.

At Cananea one of the greatest mines in the southwest has been dcveio7ed during tho last decade; at Naeossri is believed to be copper property second to none in the world The El Tigre silver and gold property has attracted the atteation of the mining world because of fts wonderful rice ness. A recital or the accomplish ments in these proven districts witn the further information that lying hs tween these proven districts are vaa- areas of uudeyeioped mineral ground viii attract more attention to this country than hundreds of pages about John Jones bringing to town rich ore specimen and telling about bis individual prolpect.
 The Ioc1i newspaper is always glad to publisn the progress being made in ths individual properties, and this is good news to the local readers many of whom may know the owner of the property mentioned, but when you get away from home such stories will not attract like the stories tell. ing of the wonderful success and D Q duction of such properties as those of the Copper Queen. the c. & A, ths Greene-Cananea and the Moctezums Copper company, or the recital of the enormous shelter plants now operat- ing in Douglas and their daily output of the red metal

HORSE RACING AND OTHER
 SPORTS PROMISE B|G DAY
District Driving Club Plans Fast Races, While Gymnastics - Football and FoIf Will Afford Other Attrac:
 tons Both in Doors and Out.

[ pie should easily turn out to see the fun.
 About twenty horses are entered for the four events, half mic dash, trut- ting, pacing and free for all pace exhi- bitions. the latest arrivals being the steeds from Fort Huachuca, the prop erty of officers at the fort. Interest not only centers in the work of the htrotters. but in the motorcycle events, for which there are six entries, which will make the circuit of the half-mile track ten times, thereby covering a five-mjle course. Three will run at time and the finals will be clicked of between the winners of the first two heats-5 m
 After the racing is filished, which will be about o'clock or a little before, those who desire can jump on the car and return to Bisbee in time to wind up with little wrestling. box ing and basketball at the Y. NJ. c. A., where Joe Doris. Roy McAllester, Paul Arthur and others will entertain on the mat while fencing. some box ing, track and bar work will wind up with an exhibition game between a picked team representing the high school and one calling thmselyes the Y NJ. c. A. All Stars.
 Then 1t will be time for the .big feed for those who put in a strenu- ous day by following out the sport calendar will. hardly have time for 1t at noon and be able to take it easy. Our English cousins. however. must ! not be forgotten. The Bisbee Reds. left out in the cold by the Redlands team cancelling their date at the last hour, are going to play Rugby all iiIe same. and at o'clock will hook up at the Warren baseball park with the Lowell United team i nYhat can not help but prove a hard fought and interesting game, as both teams have some star players, many of whom have played the game professionally in the old country.
 The list contains just about enough sporting events to give it's followers enough amusement, without over crowding the card

ADVERTISING THE
 MINING INDUSTRY.
 Noticing the puil-toeether spirit that characterized Chamber of Com. merce smoker the Douglas Inrerna- t;onal says.
 ,one Of the pleasing features of the smoker of the chamber of commerce and mines on Wednesday evening was the plain talk of several of the speak CTS regarding the wildcat mining specu!ator who will surely do more harm than good in any mining coun- try where he operates. Another pleas ing feature was the absence of any attempt to blow off hot air. The talks were all conservative and no oae attempted to overstate the rich mining country tributary to Douglas; indeed that would almost be impossi- bic. While everyone present agreed that the fraudulent speculator should not be encouraged or countenanced in Douglas or in the districts surround ing the city there was praise for the honest prospector and promoter who is engaged in legitimate effort to at tract and induce capital to join in the development of mining claims.
 The principal object of the smoker was to bring the mining men of this community together for exchange of views concerning the best methods to be adopted in bringing to the no tice of the outside world the rich min eral resources of the country tribu- tary to Douglas. The attendance in cluded a large representation of the prominent citizens of Douglas and all present displayed an appreciation of the fact that Douglas must depend mostly for its future growth and pros perity on the development of the mines which supply trade for our merchants. clients for our lawyers. employment for all our professional men, readers for our newspapers and, best of all. ere to feed the smelters now here and those to come ia the future
 Naturally the question Of adyertis- ing the mineral resources came in for consideration during the evening. Sec getary Grinden suggested tha, week ly letters be prepared and sent to all the mluing journals in the country under a Douglas date line giving all information about the sales or devel- ~oement of properties in the adjacent territory, and this suggestion is a good one. The Iocal newspapers print from time to time a vast amount of information of this character. but the local newspaper does not reach a large number of those who would probably become interested in mining development in southern Arizona and northern Sonora were they informed of the advantages and opportunities here.
 "To our mind the best possible ad vertising for the mineral industry oi this or any other section is the pub Hcaaon of the results which have been attained in the past in the dis tricts tributary to this city. or i'm mediateiy surrounding it. For in stance, the wonderful success of the property owned by the Copper Queer in the Warren district. with recita of the hundreds of miles of openings which have been made in these mine' and the millions of dollars which has' gone to the owners of the company one of the phenomenal mining sne cesses of Arizona has been the de velOpment of the Calumet & ArizOni and Superior & Pittsburg propertis at Bisbee during the last ten years
