MOrenCi Rink Building Wrecked.

The entire roof of the skating rink building fell in with a crash Thurs day morning about S:3O o'clock, un- der the heavy weight of snow.
 It was fortunate, indeed, that the roof fell when no people were in the building. Had it occurred during the evening, in the midst of an enter tainment, loss of life and great in- jury would have resulted.
 The building is the property of Paul Becker, who purchased about two years ago at a cost of S13,OOO from syndicate of Morenci people. Of the purchase price MT. Becker said there is still outstanding S25OO, making a loss to him of S1O,5OO The building was leased to Gaines & Gould for moving picture and entertainment purposes The two boys were asleep ill a small annex to the main building at the time of the crash, and were barred in their room for some time before being able to extricate themselves. 4 new moving picture machine, re- gently purchased by the lessees, was standing in its accustomed place on the floor of the building, but, strange as it may seem, the roof parted just at this juncture and the machine es- capped injury.
 MT. Becker made the statement that he would not undertake the re- pair of the building, but we hope that something will develop later that will bring about complete re- storation, as building of the kind is decided advantage to the town and our peOple.-Leader.

Lid is Put Down in Graham County.

Tn an interview obtained Monday with District Attorney McAlister it was learned that a certified copy of the new anti-gambling law had been obtained from Phoenix and that from now it would receive strict enforce ment in Graham county. Judge Nc Alister has imparted his interpreta- tion of the law to Sheriff Anderson, and as a result, MT. Anderson has in- structed all. his deputies to see that ga nbling of all descriptions is in the future strictly prohibited in all places.
 That all people interested in this have already formed their own inter- pretation is in full evidence in Solo, monville, as the saloons here cut out all style of card playing and dice O yer q week ago, and now nothing re- sembling gambling of any description is seen in any of the old time gaming places.
 When asked regarding the playing of games sdch as whist and might've for prizes, MT. McAlister stated that in his opinion the above did not con- stitute a breaking of the law, as the players and winners had nothing to lose, therefore eliminating the chance of forfeit. He said that he was lead to his opinion from one given by Judge Bennett, of Phoenix, who ruled on the matter two years ago when that city passed such strict gaming laws. Therefore the might've and whist devotees may as well have peace of mind, since, from the un- official opinion of the district at torney, they are not amenable to the

Car Cf Clay Pigeons.

An enthusiastic meeting of the members of the Tucson Gun club was held at the Chamber of Commerce offices to discuss plans for the coming tournament of the Southwestern Shooters association, comprising Arizona, New Mexico and southwest Texas. Nearly every member of the local club was present and keen in terest is manifest in the coming big tournament.
 It appears quite probable that Tue son will provide an additional 5000 over the amount of prize money heretofore offered at this annual tournament. Last year in Fl Paso the prizes offered aggregated $500 but it is stated by local club members that the purses which will be hung up here will very likely be $500.
 From inquiries that have been re- ceived from Phoenix, Yuma, Doug- las, Bisbee, Globe and NOgales and Fl Paso, Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Deming and other New Mexico towns it is estimated that there will be at least 75 shooters here for the meet. There will be fifteen professional ex- perts who will be present represent ing gun and cartridge companies.
 It was decided to order a carload of clay pigeons for the tournament. It is expected that every one of the pigeons will be needed.
 The tournament will be held late in or early in October. It will be arranged to suit the conven- fence of the majority of the shoot ers.-Tucson Citizen.

The Fleet Did Not Forget.

That was superb homecoming of the fleet on February 22d. They were all in perfect form and when the thousands of their countrymen shout ed their welcomes, In solemn ma ajesty their great guns returned the wei comes as though the thrill ot the
 homecoming had infected those steel war engines and given anew splendor to their "all hails," But one incl dent of the day has not been enough dwelt upon. When the guns were roaring, bands playing: when the flags were being dipped and the ac- claims of thousands of voices were rending the air, suddenly as the noon hour struck, for a moment silence fell, then out of the hush, from every one of the great ships came the solemn salute of twenty-one guns to the memory of the fast great presi- dent. What an answer to his words: ''In time of peace prepare for war" Each gun answered. affirming it's pre- paredness; each ship was an object lesson to show that, at least in part, his words had been needed, and that the Great Republic is alert and stronger than ever before; that reverence deeper than ever goes out to the flag whose first baptism under a battle canopy was carried by him.
 Four hundred and ten years the dust of him, who in life was George Washington, has been resting in the simple sarcophagus at Mount Vernon, but never a vessel passes up or down the Potomac that it's bell is not tolled when passing that spot, and when the festivities were at their height in the lower Chesapeake bay; all were stopped to follow the rule which is the rule of all American warships, might be fired from each vessel, and the flags dippel in honor of the natal day of the father of his coun- try. We know of nothing just like that in history. The character of man grown so strong, as it is studied, that after he has been asleep in the grave for hundred and ten years; matchiess, eXultant fleet, while re- ceiving the welcomes of thousands, suddenly, when the noon hour strikes, remembers, that the day is the anni- versary of the birth of its first Com mander in Chief, and pausing in it's celebration, opens all its solemn guns and dips its flags to the immortal memory.
 It is d lesson for every American boy: every American boy should, as soon as possible, go to Mount Vernon to learn, while looking at the simple sepulchre there, that it is possible for every earnest American boy to earn for himself immortality, if he but possesses the brain, the heart, the courage, the integrity and patriotism, to win it.-Goodwin's Weekly.

Arizona Was Near to LOOsing all Papers

The recent pleasantneSs between President Hunt of the council and R. NJ. Dawson, correspondent for the Globe Silver Belt, which resulted in the reporter being barred from the floor of the house and later reinstated, has reminded Colonel James H. Mo ClintOck of the time when the council of the nineteenth legislature passed a bill abolishing newspapers alto gether, and the house came within an ace of rushing the measure through, says the Gazette.
 Colonel McClintock was reporting the legislature for the Gazette and James Grilfis for the Republican. They were much amused and little disgusted at the scramble on among the democratic newspaper proprietors for the plums in the way of legisla- tive printing. So they drew up bill prohibiting the publication of any daily or weekly newspaper within the territory of Arizona.
 Steve Roemer, councilman from Co., chise county, was let in on the joke and he introduced the bill into the upper house. Its title was droned out by the clerk and no one paid any attention to the reading. With some bills of minor importance, the news paper abolition measure was rushed through and sent to the house, with out one councilman beside Roemer knowing or caring anything about it.
 It had reached the third reading in the house when some one discovered that the bill struck at the very root of our government-thc liberty of the press. It was the biggest joke of the session, and the drinks were on the council

Thousand Men on PayrOlIs at COurtIand

Oyer 1000 men are on the payrolls of Courtland, and the building of the city has barely begun. These 1000 men are drawing on an average of S5 d day, considering mechanics, miners and the smaller paid railroad gangs together.
 Within a radius of six miles from Courtland are Southern Pacific and Fl Paso & Southwestern railroad camps, employing at least 700 more men at remunerative wages, so at a conservative estimate it may be stated that COurtland at the present time is the center of a district with a payroll of $35, 1000 a week, or $14O,- 900 a month.
 In the mines at the present time are employed $50 men. This state ment includes only the Great West ern, Calumet x Arizona, Copper Queen and Leadville properties. There are other big mining pros poets in the district, some with the richest of surface indications and promising in extent, but as yet there are only prospects. On a number of these outlying properties many men are employed in development work. The mines are not confined to copper, but silver and lead promises to play q big part in the development of the | new CamD.

Too Much Copper.

The big orders now being placed in copper will not affect appreciably the statistics of the Copper Producers association to be published as of date of March l. They should begin to show in the April statistics, especially if the current sales call for early delivery. Of course in reality the transfer of this copper from pro- ducers' hands to the warehouses of the consumers does not immediately reduce the visible supply. Should the manufacturing trade pick up, then and not until then will there be bonafide improvement in the statisti- cal position of copper. The consumer is the man who must come to the re- lief of the copper situation.
 Important in it's bearing on the figures to be published this month is the amount of copper exported during February. It so happens that the tonnage of copper shipped out of this country in February was the smallest for any one month in the past eigh- teen, or 1866 tons, equal to 3l ,1O4, ,OOO pounds.
 February was a short month and the production was quite bit below the 112, 135, 200 pounds produced in Janu- ary.
 ln all probability, the stock of marketable copper March l was not less than 172, 600, ,OOO pounds, against IA, 13O, ,O45 February l. This we roughly estimate as follows by pounds:
 Stock of marketable copper Febru- ary l, If, ,13O,O ,O45.
 Estimated deliveries for consump- tion and exportation during February 7l,6OO, 900.
 Estimated stock of marketable copper March l 172, ,63O,O45.
 This stock of TIP, ,63O,O45 pounds is an increase of 2S,5OO,OOO pounds over the stock on hand February 1. The March sales and deliveries should do much to improve the statistics to be published April 10.
 The world accumulation may be ap- proximated as follows:
 Estimated stock in United States March 1 172, 2,630,045.
 Foreign visible supply March 1 (actuaD IT, 40, 800.
 Invisible supply abroad 50,00O,0O0.
 Total world supply 339, ,770,S45.
 The excess accumulation over and above a normal supply is about 30O,- 900, 900 pounds and judging by the orders now being placed with the sell ing agencies, the manufacturers are getting after these figures in pretty vigorous fashion.

Preparations are being made for taking the national census ot the re- public of Mexico next year, and, ac- cording to plans, it is proposed to secure all the data in one day, which has been fixed for October 24, 1910, but the officials who will secure the figures will be given over a year in which to get acquainted with the localities and individuals in their ter ritory, so that when the time comes there will be no mistakes or delays. The last census, taken in 1900, show ed a population of l3,GO7 ,259. of whom 57,5SS were foreigners. The first census to be taken in Mexico was in colonial times, when in 1773 Mexico was governed by the Count of Revil- lagigedo, as viceroy of New Spain. The figures at that time were ap- proximately 4,500,OO0.

HOOKWORM, SCOURGE OF SOUTH
MAKES 100000 SEEM LAZY

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. Oct. is.
"A new scourge of the south is
the subject of an inquiry which
will be made by the public health
and marine hospital service. II
is caused by the ravages of the
hookworm, recently classified as
the germ of laziness" by Sur
geon General Torney of the army.
From researches made by physi-
clans in Georgia and the Caro-
linas, 1t is known that the raw
ages of the hookworm, more than
any other cause, are responsible
for the inactivity and lack OF
progress of the poorer whites OF
the Atlantic seaboard states.
Instead of the climate causing
poverty, 1t is the weakness of the
bodies of these humble jewellers
on sand areas, where the hook
worm is prevalent to the greatest
extent.
The hookworm disease-uncin-
ariasis--is caused by the larvae OF
the worm burrowing into the hui
mon skin, where it multiplies
and extends into the stomach
lungs and all parts of the body
Children become infected by play
ing barefoot in sandy tracts where
the hookworm exists.
The worm. less than half an
inch long, and looking like a wet
strand of silken thread, feeds on
human blood, which sucks from
the tissues like a leech. The prog.
ress of the hookworm disease is
steady and certain.
Lack of enough blood to nour-
ish the body, weakness, paleness
weariness, loss of memory, inabil-
| ity to give definite answers to
easy questions, and, finally, q
strange appetite for dirt, mark
the march of the disease, which
may linger for years before death
finally comes.
When 1t first was announced
| Jhab thS Eel III Vi idElhCSb udu DtSi
found, the discovery was treated
as a" MSblic joke. And not until
1t was made certain that upwards
of 100000 persons in the south
were suffering from the hook
worms effects did the govern
ment wake to the enormity of the
peril.
1t is among the children OF
poorer southern families that the
disease has wrought its worst
havoc. Southern cotton mills are
filled with sallow, flabby-faced
expresisonless, misshapen little
bodies-victims of the hookworm
Though physicians say that the
disease can be cured by admins
tering thymol, they have been UNI
able to make Roadway against It,
owing to the superstition of the
people afflicted.
One South Carolina doctor
found an AK under the bed of q
hookworm victim Ito cut off the
pain" Another was unable to
make his patients obey his orders
because they were following out
the directions of voodoo woman
and her "cunjah."
With the positive certainty thai
the disease is so prevalent, ant
with knowledge of how to cure 1t
government officials believe that
within three or tours years the
germ of laziness may be routed
from the south and new, sturdi-
er generation be the result.
