MRS. HANNAH MELIN
 PASSES TO LONG REST

At 2:20 p. m. Sunday, July IF, 1910, Mrs. Hannah Melin was called to her final rest. Mrs. Melin was a native of Denmark and was born in 1865. Her maiden name was Hannah Peterson. She was married to Agus Meln in October 1891, and was the mother of five children four sons and one daughter.
 For eight months she endured the ravages of disease, still hoping against hope. Medical aid could not save her but, doubtless, careful nursing prolonged her days. Kind and we'll meaning friends did all they could to save the ebbing life. May she rest in peace.
 The funeral service was held, by her request at the home, Rev. David Roberts of the M. E. church offici- ating. Quite a number of sym. pathetic friends were present to mourn her loss. Beautiful flowers covered the casket-tokens of re- gard from friends. The sympathy of the community goes out to the stricken and orphaned children. May the father of the fatherless watch over them.
 What is home without our mother2 We this question did not know, Until death around us lowered,
 And the reaper cut her low.
 We will miss her, we will miss her!
 But our loss will be His gain; Far from pain and long, long suffering,
 She's at rest and will remain.

NEW NATIONAL
 FOREST CREATED

By recent proclamation of the President, the Coconino National Forest was divided, the western portion becoming the Tusayan Ma tional Forest. with permanent head quarters ct Williams, while the re. mainder retains the original name, "Coconino," and the old headquar- ters at Flagstaff.
 Forest Supervisor Stanton G. Smith and Deputy Forest Super visor Ell. Crabb are now in charge of the new forest, while the Coco nino is under Acting Forest super visor Drake, former Supervisor Pooler having received well-earn- ed promotion by appointment as Assistant District Forester in the Albuquerque office.
 The division of the Coconino was found necessary on account of the great increase in the volume of business and it's immense area of nearly 3,000,0O0 acres, and also be cause Flagstaff was more or less in. accessible to people living in the western part of the Forest. In ad- dition to creating the new forest, the Presidents recent order elimin- ated oyer 100000 acres of land ly- ing along the east side of the Cata- ract Canyon in the Grand Canyon division and upwards of 30 sections. mostly patented, lying along the west boundary, both north and south of the Santa Fe railroad, and also added about 8 townships be- tween the old south line of the Verde river in order to protect this portion of the watershed in connec- ton with the important irrigation interests in the Salt River valley. Township 23 N., and Ranges and 2 B. were not added. The bound ary between the new Tusayan and the Coconino runs south from a point just west of Cedar ranch along the west base of the Peaks" and Fort Valley, crossing the rail- road one and one half mile east of Bellemont; thence westerly to head of Sycamore and down this canyon to the Verde river, making the total area of the Tusayan approximately 19,000 acres.
 The Supervisors office in Will Hams is located across the street at the west end of the block from the Babbitt-Polson Co.'S. store and has been in operation since July l. Communications affecting National Forest business within the new division should therefore be ad- 
 dressed from now on to the Forest Supervisor, Williams. Arizona.
 The force on the new forest con- sists of IF, all told.s In the Super visor's office. MT. CT. Backus has been appointed. Forest Assistant and MT. M. E.. Pellett and Miss Luetta Steinemann, clerks. No change has been made among the rangers and each man remains on his old district, as follows:
 Lewis Benedict and Jesse l. Bushnell. Ash Fork; H. L. Benham and Willard Sevier, Williams; Fred Platten and John A. Adams, Chandler; Bob Moak, John w. Dor man and John K. Kidd, Bellemont; P. A.. Fenton and Geo. A. Reed, Grand Canyon; E. NJ. Twitty, Anita Siding.

NO EXTRA TAXATION
 FOR NEW STATE

 given our delegate at Tucson, July IS, Attorney General John B. Wright delivered the following we'll timed and appropriate speech. which at least should have sooth- ing effect on some of the habitual croakers. The speaker said:
 "In the Six minutes allotted me I desire to confine my remarks to just one topic, namely to answer the objection made by those whom ] shall call the pessimists of Arizona that statehood will mean increased taxation. They say that we will have to pay our governors, secre- taries, legislators and other state officers, and that our taxes will be greater than ever.
 First let me say that if we can finally have a voice in our own government, that in itself will be we'll worth the expenditure of few extra dollars.
 But is it true that our expenses will be greater2
 "The creation of new state, his- tory shows us, always brings with it the influx of new capital seeking investment, and new people ready to assist in the development of in- dustry.
 "The statehood bill gives to the new state of Arizona four sections of land in each township for the benefit of the schools. No other state has had more than two. It has been estimated by the territor- 1al engineer that in all we will have no less than 10000 square miles of such land, which at sale price of as little as $1 per acre will give Arizona schools 8 revenue of millions of dollars.
 eve have a debt of $3.000,00o. The revenue from the sale of our school lands can pay off those bonds, and turn the proceeds an- nually into the school funds for our own use. What we can save thru the purchase of the bonds will more than pay the expenses of the state government.
 Further, we will have land in- comes for the maintenance of the state university, agricultural and normal colleges, schools of mines, etc., all of which will help enor- mously.
 Another fact is that the Santa Fe and other railroads hitherto ex empted from taxation will be taxed and the assessments of all other railroads in the territory, hitherto purposely made nominal, will be increased to fair rate. So that in the end our taxes will not be in- creased but reduced.
 "All we need for the creation of a rich state is a sane constitution. Let us send strong delegates and get one."

changes in the civil or criminal codes
wholly unintelligible TO the layman. and
as TO the desirability of which the law
yers themselves differ widely. Daily the
calendars are Numbered with measures
TO authorize the issuance of bonds for
school districts or to validate the acts of
some notary public about whose position
a bubble has arisen. All of them, per-
haps. are necessary. and some of them
important to the localities interested.
Yet to the layman it would seem posi-
bile to save time and expense by the
enactment Of a few well considered and
carefully phrased general statutes. Per-
haps Governor Dix can get the Legis-
lature TO do in this line what Governor
Hughes could not do.
A Governor, however. can at best at
tack only one phase of this evil In the
Legislature itself must lie the real
remedy. There is now no limitation on
the number of bills which may be intro
duced save the sense and innate decency
of the individual legislators. Not SO
many years ago an ASSemblyman from
New York City fathered several scores
of measures in a session. of which one
or two passed both houses and one be-
came a law. Some adequate check on
the quantity of legislation at its source
would bring the task of reducing the
annual number of laws within the range
of possibility.

NOW GIVE!

The hortatory phrase is somewhat
reminiscent of old election times. Now
give, It used to be the custom on the
morning of an important election day.
after the campaigning was done ana tne
tumult and the shouting. the brass balus
and still more brazen spellbinders hau
ceased. to begin and end and punctuate
all the way through a final appeal Win
"Now voter And we have notion
that such articles did influence some
wave1ing and undecided voters. These
are not election days. but days OF per-
baps more universal appeal to the heart
of humanity. This is Hospital Satur-
day and tomorrow is Hospital Sunday,
and so the order of the day is, Give.
A happy coincidence of the calendar
accentuates the appeal. For this year
these days. which for many years have
been designated as the time for making
offerings to the hospitals of New York,
coincide with the great universal festival
of good will, good cheer and gifts HOS
pital Saturday is Christmas Eve, ana
HospitaI Sunday is Christmas Day. The
circumstance should surely inspire gem
erous giving. Indeed. it offers a happy
solution of many. a perpleXlty- 1t mas
become pr,overbial that it Is burdensome,
not to make Christmas gifts, but to Sc
Iect them. Now, here is a glorious
chance to escape some of that bother by
making the easy choice of giving to the
hospitals And in so doing you Will be
assured that your gift is appropriate and
is appreciated
1t is tllirty-One years since this beau
tiful and beneticent custom was esIap-
Iished in this city. In that time there
has been q pretty steady increase OF the
total of gifts, though there have been
some fluctuations, rejecting conditions
Of business. The winter of 19O6-'07 was
the banner season. with contributions of
S1O3, 10 81, the only year in which the
100000 mark has been reached But this
wear, which has seen so many records
broken in far less important matters,
should certainly see all preceding hgures
for hospital contributions far surpassed.
There is no more universal appeal than
tbis. In the distribution Of the bounty
there is no discrimination between Jew
and Gentle institutions, Catholic ana
Protestant. sectarian and secular Inc
only question is the amount OF free work
the hospital has done in the year. SO
there should be no determinations
among the giyers, but men and women
of all faiths, affiliations and associations
should feel common interest in a work
which is for the common good Of all. 1t
is the season for giving. There is an
abundance of wealth for giving. And
here is one of the <worthiest objects i'll

GRADYS QUALIFICATIONS.

With considerable indignation Sena'
tor Grady denies the report. which The
Tribune did not credit or publish, that he
has taken himself out OF consideration for
the post Of temporary president OF the
Senate. The denial was hardly neces-
sary. Few who know Grady and Muir
Dhy credited that report; the few who
did had the wish as father Of their
belief
Grady has smiled too long under yio-
lent personal and political attacks and
official Investigations to mind the little
furry which q few Democrats are Great
ing now. He wants che leadership of the
Senate. he says frankly, and intends to
have it. But, more than that, Murphy
wants him there and nobody can doubt
Murphy's ability to obtain anything he
wants in the present situation. The
sagacious boss discerns the possibility
of trouble in his Senate. One Democrat
from Manhattan-foolhardy spirit land
five upstate men are reported to be I'M
impressed with the virtues of the Muir
phy legislative programme so far as
they have learned it. Six Democrats

Tammany-there were two in the Sen
ate at one time, three years ago-would
disorganize Tammany's machinery there.
Such thing is not to be thought of for
a moment Therefore the necessity for
Grady, the very man for such an emer-
gency. His lalifications are undoubted.
