News Matter from Tucson Chamber of
 Commerce.

Tucson will celebrate the opening of the Tucson and West Coast of Mexico Railroad on Thursday and Friday May 9th and 9th as originally planned The committee in charge of the celebration has ascertained that the fiesta which is to be held at Mazatlan early in May is only a local affair, and will therefore not inter- fere with the Tucson celebration. At meeting of the Committee on Ar engagements on last week, all of the subcommittee were directed to go ahead with their plans.
 A special invitation committee headed by Fred Ronstadt will leave shortly for Hcrmosillo, Mexico, to extend a personal invitation to Luis Torres, Governor of Sonora, and his Staff, to attend the opening ot the new railroad at Tucson. From Her. mosillo the committee will go to Culiacan to extend personal invita- tion to the Governor of Sinaloa and Staff. The Governors and their Staffs will be entertained at.the expense of Tucson, and will be quartered at one of the leading Hotels. The Mexican Band at Hermosillo will be brought to Tucson for the celebration, accom- panying Governor Torres and Staff.
 The Committee on Transportation is already negotiating with the rail- roads with the view to securing a very low rate from all points to Tue son for the celebration. It is ex. pected that all the railroads will make half rates to Tucson, while a one dollar rate from Nogales, and spondingly low rates from all points along the line in Mexico may be secured.
 T. H. Schuster has been appointed Chairman of the Committee on Ac. commodations, and will answer all in quiries upon this subject.

Stopping the Paper.

She came down the street three steps at a time and sailed into the newspaper office like a whirlwind She waited for no ceremony, but wildly asked:
 ''ls this the printin' officer"
 "Yes, madam"
 ''I want to stop my paper"
 "All right, madam"
 'Stop it right away, too"
 "It's stopped" replied the editor, making blue line drought her bus bands name on the subscription list.
 'Mebbe that will learn you some horse sense and how to do the square thing next time, and not slight people just because they are poor. If some rich, stuck-up folks happen to have a bald-headed, knock-kneed cross-eyed brat born to'em, you're in an awful hurry to put it in the paper and make it out an angel; but when poor people have baby you can't say a word about it, even if it is sthe prettiest child eyer borned. That's what I'm stoppin' the paper fur. This Ort to be lesson to every paper iu Ari- zona," and she went out of the office as mad as a wet hen.-Ex.

School Closed.

On Friday afternoon of last week our schools were closed, all the grades having completed the terms work, and the school boys on the street joyfully took up the refrain: "No more Latin, no more Greek; No more setting on hard board seat ;, All concerned are to be congratulated on the completion of a highly satis- factory term. It is the impression that never before has the Duncan school had better discipline or better teaching or better attendance and the students have certainly made sub- stantial progress in their studies.- AriZonan.

 Another work in the right direction is pursued by IT cities taking an in ventory of dental needs. Both child and parents are taught that decaying teeth, mean bad health, bad looks and bad earning power. In some cities dental clinics are organized in connection with societies for children, tooth brushes are given by schools, or the children are ordered to bring tooth brushes and are taught how to use them. h another direction through public discussions and scien- tifc meetings dentists are persuaded to clean and fill teeth instead of ex- tracing them. These valuable efforts in the cause of humanity are leaven- ing public school usefulness. One vital thing is needed to bring the public school where it should be, as the most important factor in civilization, and this vital thing is the interest of the public.
