wrestler, who's so big he looks
like young mountain. For some
mysterious reason he hasn't had a
Yussif tackled onto him since land

he Is after Frank Gotch. Well, a

Cara weighs the tidy total of
$40 pounds when in condition,
and when he spreads his arms his

STATEHOOD AT THIS SESSION OF CONGRESS
 PIP?

Washington, D. C., Jan. IT, The House today passed the Hamilton bill granting separate statehood to Arizona and New Mexico. The bill was reported by the committee on territories Saturday; when it was reached on today's calendar the measure passed the House on a viva voce vote without a dissenting voice.
 The bill as passed provides for the calling of a convention for the drafting of constitutions of the two proposed states and their submis- sion to the voters of the respective territories, after which the election of state officers and members of the first state legislature will take place.
 Washington, Jan. 19-No new stars will be added to the Ameri. can flag before the summer of 1911, according to the plans now under consideration in the senate con- mittee on territories.
 This program is said to have the endorsement of President Taft. It provides for the reporting of an entirely new statehood bill for New Mexico and Arizona. The Hamil ton bill as passed by the house is declared to be objectionable to the senate committee on two grounds.
 First-Because it does not pro- vide for sufficient elapsed time for the adoption of the constitutions and the election of the state officers and the members of the senate and the house of representatives.
 The other objection relates to the protection of the public interests in relation to existing and proposed land grants.
 The new bill will authorize New Mexico and Arizona to hold cleo tions for the adoption of constitu-

CHICAGO ARTISTS ARE
 GOOD ENTERTAINERS

The Odd Fellows opera house was packed to the doors Tuesday night with the Santa Fe employees, their families and friends who were royalty entertained for nearly two hours by the Pauline Powers Play CTS club of Chicago.
 The club consisted of quartette of as clever artists as have appear ed in this city for sometime. The program rendered was an excellent one throughout, the feature number being the Spanish fandango dance by Miss Powers, and "The Marble Arch," a character sketch playlet which proved to be filled with happy thoughts all the way. The dancing of Miss Powers was very artistic, altough the stage was en- tirely too small to do justice for this splendid feature act.
 On account of the trains being late the company was late in start ing with the program and on this account were compelled to cut out two musical numbers. The pro- gram follows:
 Violin intermezzo, Mascazari, MT. Caldwell.
 Bohemian Dance, Rendegger, MT. Caldwell.
 PianoSolo," FantasieImpromptu" Mir. Perkins.
 Violin, "The Last Rose of Sum- mer," and "Cradle Song." MT. Caldwell.

tions, but nc election for state off . cers and members of congress could be held until after the constitutions have been approved by the presl- dent and congresA.
 The effect of this provision would be to permit the territories to hold constitutio conventions and cleo tions for the adoption of the same during the present year. but the consti smtions could not be ratified until cnngress meets next Decem. Der. After the ratification, state elections could be held.
 Under the terms of the proposed senate bill the two territories could not ssibly be admitted before the summer of 1911.
 The republican members of the senate com mittee, headed by Sena tor Beveridge, have conferred witl. President Taft and it is understood that they are unanimously in favor of this program.
 When the bill was first intro- duced in the house it was predicted that final admission would not come before eighteen months. This is about the time that will elapse should the bill proposed by the senate com mittee succeed.

PAUL YODER IS
 BADLY INJURED

To escape from being scalded to death by escaping steam from a bursted steam pipe, Fireman Paul Yoder jumped from the engine of the Grand Canyon train No. 12, Friday noon, while it was standing in the yards here, breaking his left leg at the ankle joint. His left wrist was hurt too but not badly.
 Fireman Yoder opened valve in preparation to fill the boiler with water when the steam pipe leading from the boiler to injector bursted. He says that he either jumped or was blown off by the esca ping steam. He was picked mp and carried to the Williams hospital, where Dr. P. A. Melick treated him until yesterday when he was taken on No. to the Santa Fe hospital in Los Angeles. His father, Herb Yoder.- accompanied the injured young man to Los Angeles.
 It will proba bly, take all of three months time before Fireman Yoder recovers sufficiently enough to leave the hospital. Bad as his injuries are it was his luck to escape from being scalded to death.
 The engine went out of commits sion altogether and was forwarded into the shops to be rebuilt. The extra engine in the yards here will do the service on the Canyon day run until a new engine arrives.

Postal Completes New Wire

The crew of lin smen of the Postal Telegraph Co who were stringing the new Postal continental wire from Needles, Cali fornia eastward, reached Williams Monday night. and will complete their work next Tuesday afternoon.
 It is remembered that another crew, which was stringi ng the wire from Albuquerque west was caught in the heavy snow storm eight miles east of this city during the the Christmas week. The work was discontinued until the wealth CT moderated. The crew which reached the city from the west this week will finish the line at the point where it was left by the crew dis banded here in December.
 Foreman w. H. Moore. who is in charge of this crew, says that although they had to put up with the bad weather his outfit has strung an average of ten miles of wire per day. They had to give up the team outfit since the snow fell and adopted the hand car sys' tenn, which is much slower and more trying on the men than the for mer.
 The enormous increase in the business of the Postal company made a demand for the new wire and the work was pushed along with all the possible rapidity.
