HIGH TEAM IS NOT
 DISCOURAGEDATL LOSING

Not the least bit downhearted be- cause of their defeat at the hands of Ell Paso high, the members of the local high school ootball team reached Bisbee Sunday morning, and last night were working out as if their lives depended on it, getting into trim for the return game which Fl Paso will play here next Saturday.
 The game will be played at the Warren baseball park, and from the showing the boys made on the enemy's grounds they have hopes of putting a decided crimp into the Pass City out fit when they stack up at home Satur- day. The cripples will all be in shape by that time, and at least a good game of football. fought to the last ditch, will be the result.

STAT EHOOD COM M ENT
From Houston Post.

From Houston Post.
 In pledging himself anew to the cause of separate statehood for each of the territories of Arizona and New Mexico in a speech delivered by him at Phoenix on Wednesday of last week, President Taft made strong bid for popularity with the people of those territories who for one excuse and another have already keen kept out of the union longer than they should. And since the republican par ty is directly responsible for the de lay in their admission, it was wise stroke of policy on the presidents part to give the assurance that he did to those people, upon the prin- ciple that hope oft deferred maketh the heart sick" if for no other req son.

BIGGEST TURTLE EVER SEEN IN
 BIsBEE.

The biggest turtle ever seen in the city was delivered by Wells-Fargo ex- press to the Bisbee Meat company, at one of their shops on Brewery avenue, yesterday afternoon. The crowd that gathered to get a look at this huge turtle were soon making guesses as to it's weight, and the most conservative placed its weight at three hundred pounds.
 Every one is invited to come in and see this big turtle, and to buy their beef. pork, mutton. veal, ham, bacon, eggs, butter, kraut, pickles, lard, and all kinds of home made sausage.

MR. TAFT ON STATEHOOD

From Kansss City Journal.
 Upon entering the territory of Ari- zoua the other day President Taft expressed the opinion that Arizona and New Mexico should be given statehood separately, which is un- doubtedly the desire of an overwhelm' ing majority of the citizens of both territories. For years the territories have been pleading for separate state hood, strongly resenting the effort to bring them into the union as one state.
 The chief argument against state hood for New Mexico and Arizona IS that they are sparsely settled. That is true to an extent but Oklahoma was also sparsely settled when it was admitted. Utah, Nevada, Wyoming and several other western states are no mere developed than New Mexico Both New Mexico and Arizona have enough people and to>spare in meas uring up to the statehood requirement aad immigration is settling the land as a remarkatEe rate. It will be only a few years before these territories will be practically settled up.
 The people of New Mexico and Ari zona are rational and conservative There is no doubt but President Taft's advice in the framing of the const tutions of both states would be fol lowed.

Cauehtinp Passing

The habitual rounder of the sa | loon is familiar to all; the fellow l who sleeps there. eats there. anS passes about from one place to ap other ''mooching' drinks.
 But 1t probably hasn't occurred to anybody that a number of dogs in Bisbee nave caught the habit from their two pedaled friends.
 But they have, though. Dogs common, cur dogs of the "Yailar'' varietyt-about an even dozen of them-have learned to become the same kind of a habituaI rounder.
 In their case. however, they are not looking for drinks. but perchance a piece of sugar, or a stray scrap of meat that some mixologist may have saved up for them. Poor, home less little tramps whom the barter- ders have taken in and fed, pro. yided with license-tag to snake them immune from the dog-catchar and given a shelter to when the nights are cold. they have learned to wander from saloon to saloon. where they are always sure of 8 welcome-one a blamed sight warl.l- or than the men get, too generally.
 The pioneer of this circuit is Tony, little Scotch territor, who makes the places daily along Brewery Gulch. Tony has been doing this now for just 13 years and has seen many of this bum dog class come and go, nobody knows awaere. Then there's Brownie. who rides one Of the liquor distributing wagons every day. and Little Billey, Rummy and some more who refused to tell tn Interviewer their names.
 Spud Murphy was probably ths lest known of these tramps. He passed out of existence. however several years ago. but nabitual,, haunted the vicinity ,' the Etel- V ciss cafe when on tha job. lie were collar engravei I'm Spui Murphy; Feed Me-" ard it was nc unusual thing to see some of the miners take him inside the restau rant and pay two bits for a steak fol | Spui's edification. The others usci to live in the same classy style ul, til hard times struck the burg. Nov they confine their activities to the saloons and to few stray scrap! at the rear of the restaurant doors
 Each year when their license tag runs out, the barkeeps along the line take up a collection, a nickel fol each canine, and his livlihood is as sured for another year. Many O them have been taught tricks, an: anyhow know enough to mooch int, a saloon, stand in front Of the bar tender on hind legs and beg foi whatever he may have for them, whether sugar. of which they art very fond, or the more substanti;. meat diet. They meyer go away un rewarded.
 About a year ago the license or two of them expired and for some unknown reason they kept away from their usual haunts, and were missed in the bread-line. Inquir! showed that the dogcatcher has them, their dollar apiece was mad, up and they were forthwith released from custody.
 They're noboiy's dogs, just tramps They have no master, but everybody their friend-and they doubtless ge a good deal better treatment tha' some of those who have masters ana sleep at home.

FOUND 4 RATHER

 THE STORY
The Experience of E. H. Simmons at
 the Date Orchard Yesterday

Were 1t not for the excellent rep utation that F. H. Simmons of the government date orchard bears, read CTS of the following yarn might have reason to suspect that MT. Simmons had fallen from grace and had formed the habit of seeing things. It is a snake story of course, but MT. Sim mons took the precaution to remove from the reptile, its rattles which he holds as proof of its existence and death.
 MT. Simmons went to the well yes- terday afternoon to get d drink of water He pulled up the bucket as usual, but when it neared the top, he saw at a glance that the bucket contained something else beside wa ter. A large sized rattler had taken temporary quarters in the bucket and was prepared to resent its dis turbance. MT. Simmons exercised considerable caution and removed his snakeship from the bucket with q stick and forthwith proceeded to flatten its head with a rock. As above stated he took particular pains to remove the rattles and preserve them before telling the story to any one. The rattles number eight and a but ton.

A CASA GRAbDE TRIP
 MADE BY AUTOMOBILE
The Round Trip Made in Day Without Incident.

The party of Tempe people who made the trip to Casa Grande on Friday returned at eight o'clock that evening after a most successful run in every respect, The trip was made in the Miller auto and the members of the party were A. J. Peters, Levi Walker, L. Anderson, Frank Miller and Halbert Miller, who drove the machine. The party was detained and did not leave Tempe until ten o'clock. The run was made by way of SacatOn and Casa Grande was reached in three hours flat The trip at this season of the year is not the most pleasant in the world The roads were dusty and badly cut up, but there was one satisfaction, the Gila river was crossed on dry land. It was a hard pull through a couple of hundred yards of sand, but it was great deal better than pushing through water. Returning, the party left Casa Grande at five and reached here in two hours and fifty-five minutes.
