THE FIRST REAL GIRL
EVER BORN IN PHOENIX
According to the Judgment Of Frank
Connolly.

One of the funny pages of a Sunday
newspaper is DEVOTED to the hopeless
quest of a fairy who has been COM
missioned to find true happiness and
submit a report. He frequently thinks
he is on the point of finding it, but al
ways he finds a blemish. a fly in the
ointment, and what appears to be I'M
alleged happiness is found to be mixed
with sorrow or anger. The trouble
with the fairy is he has not hit upon
the right spot. 1t is right here i'm
Phoenix. and the exact spot is Franll
Connolly
Mr. Connolly is always more or less
happy. but yesterday he became wholly
so. He was filled with joy without
alloy. The cause of it was his first
born a girl.-in Mr.. Connelly's opinion,
the only real girl ever born in Phoe-
nix. all the others having been base
limitations.
His view of the case is corroborated
by the mother Of Mrs. Connolly, who
came here from Chicago a month ago
in anticipation of this happy event.
Mrs. Connolly is doing well.

probably the TIE Deum and the 'Jubi-

Sunday program at Trinity church,
some years ago, and which were wide
" adopted throughout the country. The
Broadway Rouss March,, which she
also composed, was a national favor
tie in its day. For many years she was
recognized as one of the leading musi-
clans and musical scholars of Few Or
leans, adding complete mastery of the
catalogue of grand harmony TO brill

the private classes which she taught
for some time were largely attended by
representatives of the best classes of
local society. Her birth, education
and brilliant mind won for her a con-

that he wanted warrant for tire ar
rest of Sargent. He said that Sar-
gent had taken up a couple of calves
belonging to him, and that when he
went after them, Sargent demanded a
dollar head for them.
In the conversation that ensued, Sar-
gent, he SAID, told him that if he ever
caught the calves in that bailiwick
again, he would fill them full of lead.
Quihuis made some threat which was
TO be carried out in the event of any
such gun practice, and he said that
Sergeant went into the house, returned
with gun, and took two shots at one
of the calves.
ThereupOn Quihuis left the scene of
contention and sought the office of

of Sargent was issued by Justice Par

"It is very rarely that hunters and
trappers have ever taken any large
numbers of foxes alive and propose to
have fine exhibit from my farm at
the Alaska YukonPacific exposition.
i believe it will be the first exhibit of
live foxes of the silver tip and silver
grey species ever shown.
As my experiments advance i am
more than ever convinced that fox
breeding will become one of the most
valuable industries of the North. The
animals breed very rapidly and with
proper care fox farm should pay large
returns.'

MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT
GETS SIX MONTHS

GRANVILLE, Cal, Jan. lit is quite
possible that the Western Pacific will
not be opened to travel south Of Oro-
vile until the line from Salt Lake to
San Francisco is completed.
The road through Nevada is making
rapid headway. The two great causes
of delay have been the long tunnels at
Spring Garden and Chilcoot. These
will be bored and benches removed
and the tracks laid in three or four
months.
While trains have been run on the
Western Pacific between Oraville and
Oakland, yet the roadbed is not in a
condition for traffic. Even if it were.
there are no depots in which to trans
act business.
BY the time the road between Oro-
vile and Oakland is ballasted and the
depots built, the work of track laying
on the entire line will be nearly com
pleted.
From the present condition of con-
struction work, it looks as it trans
continental trains will be running
through Superior California, by August
I, 1909.

GOOD PROSPECTS
ON MOUNTAIN

David Payne and J. s. Barnes, who
are working on the Northwestern Min
ing company's south extension of
Hercules No. 1, were in town yester-
day, replenishing their stock of
supplies.
The gentlemen reported that they
are in 40 feet on an 80-foot tunnel
they are driving to crosscut the ledge.
Assays taken from the face of the drift
run from $3.50 to $21.00 in gold and
silver, gold predominating.
Messrs. Payne and Barnes are higly
elated at the showing made, and it is
their prediction that before spring
Winnemucca mountain will be one of
the liveliest camps in the state. As
they are known to be experienced min
ing men of good judgment, their
is entitled to consideration.
Residents of town may not be
surprised to hear any day now that
bonanza ore has been encountered at
their very doors.

COWBOY BALLADS
IN DEMAND

The Agricultural and Mechanical Col
lege of Texas, College Station, Jan
uary 8, 1909.
Editor Silver State News:-
For several years have been en-
deavoring to make complete eollse-
tion of the native ballads and songs OF
the West, particularly those known ~
Cowboy songA It will hardly be poe
sible to secure such . collection except
through the aid of the press, for many
OF these ballads have never been in
print, but, like the Masonic ritual, are
transmitted from one generation to an
other by "word of MOUTH They
deal mainly with frontier episodes; the
deeds Of desperadoes like Jesse James
and Sam Bass; the life Of the ranger
in pursuit of Indians or desperadoes;
the experiences of the cowboy going
up the trail; the trial Of the Forty
miners, buffalo hunters, stage drivers
and freighters-in short, they are at.
tempts, often crude and sometimes vul-
gar, to epitomize and particularize the
life of the pioneers who peopled the
vast region west Of the Mississippi
river.
Such early pioneer ballads do exist.
Already / have collected nearly q
hundred. l wish to solicit your aid in
preserving from extinction this express
sion of American literature. Eventual
ly it is expected that the ballads viii
be published in book form and made
available for students of history or
for those interested in the songs mere
ly as an expression of romantic western
life.
May | add that ballads, and the like,
which becausee of crudity, incomplete
ness, coarseness, or for any other rea-
SON are unavailable for publication,
will be as interesting and as useful for
my purposes as others of more merit.
1t is my desire to collect the songs and
ballads now or lately in actual exist
ence and in the precise form which they
have popularity assumed.
Yours very respectfully,
JOHN A. LOMAX,
Associate Professor of English.
