NEW PUBLICATION
 FOR THE SOUTHWEST
More Accurately, Young Magazine With New Owners and a Wider Field of Activity.

Again Phoenix is to have an Ari- Zo9a magazine. That statement is not meant to imply that an Arizona magazine is to be devoted entirely to Phoenix, but is based on facts of past history which are that several magazines, purporting to represent all of Arizona. have been published in Phoenix. Some of them have started with great pretensions and some very mOdestly, but always they have failed for one reason or another, but it is believed that none of the reasons was that the field was lacking.
 This makaZine, by the way, is not to be called the Arizona magazine. but The Border" having for its pur- pose the exploitation of Arizona and the entire southwest. It is not a new born Journalistic infant but is now a quite healthy child that has gained a start in Los Angeles, in fact is still there, but expects to come to Phoenix as soon as a good home can be pro vided for it. The Border has been published for som time but the pres ent owners recently bought it, have reOrganiZed it's management and to some extent it's mission in the world. The first issue under their manage ment is now out but will not reach Phoenix for a day or two. The joint editors are Maurice Salzman, son -of Max SalZman of Williams.l and Samuel TennysGn White. MT. White is now in Los Angeles. is a printer by trade and a journalist by profess sion. MT. Salzman has been in Phoe- nix for a few days preparing the way and hustling business. The bus mess manager is Miss Angelia New ton, an experienced newspaper wo- man of Los Angeles, who will be here in a few days.
 Mir Salzman says the company has a little printing plant of its own and for the present will publish The Bor- der in Los Angeles but if it can issue it here as economically and as well. and suitable quarters can be found, the plant will be brought to Phoenix.
 The aim of the editors will be to make the magazine thoroughly western publication. well illustrated and of literary merit. and seeks the congregation of all Arizona and the southwest. All things being equal. preference will be given Arizona writers, or at least western writers, for it hopes to make the magazine a power for the good of the entire southwest and eventually to earn standing as a national publication. It will boost for statehood and will try to be an open forum for the people of the southwest. The editors, who are familiar with Arizona, particuariy Mir. Salzman, who was born in this territory. is so large and it's resources so vast that even the Arizona people themselves have an inadequate idea of the natural wealth and magnitude .of the resources of Arizona. to say nothing of the entire southwest.
 The publication is not designed tn be what some might imagine from its

lumbermen Waste Half of Every Tree
 Thev Cut.

In an article in the April McClure's, entitled "A Continent Despoiled," Ru dolf Cronan tells of the enormous waste of lumber. He says:
 pr Bristol. chief of the section of wood chemistry, states that 50 per cent or more of the average tree as it stands in the forest is wasted before reaching the market in the form of lumber. He says. further. that the timber cut>has increased from eight cen billion board feet in 1880 to fifty billion board feet in 1906, and that our present consumption of wood in all forms is equivalent to at least one hundred billion feet annually, and pos- sibly much more
 Further. it may be new to you that white pine. in former years the great est of all our lumber trees and the only wood dignified with the name pine. has. under the heavy drain upon it. so fallen off that its domination of the lumber market has practically ceased. In from ten to fifteen years the supply of other woods, for in stance, the yellow pine and the Doug las fir. will be just as limited as that of white pine now. Rapidly decreas- ing also is our supply of hard woods. the prices of which go higher and higher. White oak went up from s4S in 1890 to sS5 in 1907; hickory from $3S to sS5, and yellow poplar from $29 to s53. Expert foresters proclaim that we are, without having made any provisions against it. dangerously near a hardwood famine which vii strike at the very foundation of some of the

 The professional traders worked for a reaction. The gold outgo to South America together with considerable activity in connection with bond flo- tations has led the lenders of money on time to attempt an advance in rates of interest but borrowers held off and the result was a great de-
 cline in the money market. Bonds were irregular. Total sales amounted to S2.62O,OO U. s. 2s coupons and

ready, and may as well get measured
for your coffin.
On this special night the hatchet-
boy was bound for a certain city to
send a laundryman named Billy Wing
to sleep beside his fathers. Why the
Tong wanted Billy killed was imma-
terial to Lee. His business was sim
ply to obey to strike like lightning,
like lightning to disappear.
The job promised to be a simple one
Lee smoked dreamily. His soul
was at peace, save when he thought of
his only son, who had died a month
before. Every time the little white
casket rose before Lees eyes a devil
who stood beside him night and day
ran a sharp dagger into his heart. So
often had the devil done this that the
spot was very sore.
All night he journeyed, sleeping and
waking, and at early dawn came to
the city where lived Billy Wing.
There were few Chinese in the
place, and Lee easily found Bllly's
laundry. Entering, he made the
opium smuggler's sign to the propri-
etor, who was wrapping up a shirt for
a customer. Billy signaled back, his
eyes glittering. After the customer
went out. he asked, eagerly:
when?
Tonight at ten" answered Lee
Men who smoke opium should not in
cur the Tong's displeasure.
The hatchet-boy ran an experienced
eye over the laundry, sizing it up fol-
the kill and the getaway. All, yes
that back room! The job over, he
could shed his false queue, shift his
clothes, and slip out of town on q
freight like a common American
tramp.
AS he started out of the door, q
little Chinese boy slipped in. The
devil stabbed Lee sharply in the sore

Chicago, April 19.-In defiance Of
the higher criticism, Rev. Frederick

of womans creation. "Infidels all
laugh at Adams rib" he says. "They
tell us the Bible begins with a joke,
that 1t is ridiculous to suppose that
woman was made as Genesis de-
scribes. We do not care to argue that
point further than to remark that no
one except the author of the first book
In the Bible has ever given as salts
factory an explanation of the begin
ming of things from spiritual stand
point
Before We dismiss book which
contains what some think is such a
ridiculous story, let US stop long
enough to ask. If. after all, the mere
invention Of the story does not make
the book worth while7
"Who today. after he has had a Jolly
good laugh, will rise and explain how
1t ever occurred to anybody to pro-
vide for the continuation Of human life
on this planet by establishing the fam
ily relation? Could anything be more
perfect than just to say L will make
helpmate for him, and the thing
was done?

bottom OF the marriage relation and
