.CO[ORADOANS FAVOR
 AR|zONA'S ADMISSION
Prescott Citizen Finds Residents Of Centennial State Willing To
 Invest in Yavapai.
(From Tuesday's Daily)

the question of population, which is rapidly increasing here. is considered merely an incident in the fight and that with admission the same rule will apply to Arizona as has prevailed in the other western states.
 Yavapai as a desirable center fer the investment of mining money was also favored by many who follow this calling and there is no doubt that in the next few months many Colorado mining men would come to this section to look over the possi- bilities of the field. He believes that a new era is ahead of this county and is of the opinion that with so many attractive locations in evidence, investment will naturally follow.
 The visit of President Taft a few weeks ago and the fine welcome hs received in Prescott, together with the open and candid manner in which the executive spoke of the statehood movement, created an interest in Ari- zona's behalf that was echoed all over the Centennial state, and now the Coloradoans are sincerely and consist ently supporting the good cause ss far as they are capable of doing.

GETTING TO SEAT OF TROUBLE.
California Doctor Suggests Scrub
bing Cows Teeth.

The latest movement in the way of
reform comes from DR.. H. S. Tanner,
a prominent veterinarian of Long
Beach, CAL, who suggests that cows
teeth be scrubbed in order that they
produce pure milk. DR.. Tanner
brought the matter to the attention
of the city council Of Long Beach a
few evenings ago, by stating that
cows had no means of cleaning
their teeth and as result tartar
accumulates and serves as breed
ing place for disease germs, which
later appear in the milk. Members
of the council are said to have look
ed upon the doctor suggestion with
favor and may pass an ordinance to
that effect. While the suggestion
appears ridiculous, yet it is no more
unreasonable than some other state
or municipal requirements.

More Tickle Than the Weather.

There is one quite naked piece of
nonsense which must be destroyed If
modern society is to 60 on at all. That
Is the pretense of teaching things ''sci-
entifically" which are not in their own
nature scientific.
A man may learn to be a good
prophet about the stars; he may learn
after long assiduity and self culture, to
be false prophet about the weather
but no man would dare to predict his
wife's temper, even falsely. 1t is not
a scientific subject. 1t is impossible to
imagine whether the wife would be
more annoyed il he prophesied wrong
or If he prophesied right.
Let a man keep weather chart, then,
but not a wife chart.-G. K Chester.

RUBBER MATCH
IS THIS BOUT

In taking on Kirk Yates, OF Toledo.
whom he meets at the Detroit Wheel
men next Tuesday evening, Clyde
Bleakley. the Detroit grappler. Is un-
doubtedly stacking up against the
hardest opponent with whom he
has gone to the mat here this
season. Yates and Bleakley have
met twice. each having won once.
1t is peculiar fact that. on
both these occasions the winner
secured the verdict by means OF the
toe-hold Yates winning the second
time by a twist SOW icious that Bleak
ley's ankle was out OF commission for
some time thereafter.
A recent request from Yates that no
holds be barred. meets with Bleak
leys approval and, in all probability
the men will wrestle in this way.
Bleakley remains a slight favorite
among those who know the ability OF
both men. as IL is reasoned that his
improvement during the last season
should give him the shade over
man with whom he wrestled on even
terms two years ago.
