Indians of Arizona
 Used Gold Bullets

"On August p we made l5 miles east, crossing two streams. which are branches of the Gils. We met Indians today who l think are not Apache Tontos, as they do not speak any Spanish and refused to arswer our questions. We obtained from them over $500 worth of gold for few old articles of clothing. The Indians use gold bullets for their guns. They are of different sizes and each Indian carries a pouch of them. We saw an Indian load bis gun with one large and three small gold bullets to .hoot . rabbit"
 The foregoing excerpt is taken from what is believed to be the oldest Arizona paper in existence It is . copy of the Ari1ons Miner, printed at Prescott in 1866. and is the pr:zed possession of J. F. Champion. . pio- neer resident of Globe. The item published above is part of the history of F. X. Audrey's journey through Arizona in 1853, all of which is pub iished in the Miner. It tells of battles with the Indians and other hsrdehips encountered by the early pioneers of the territory. Audrey, . few years after his trip through the tesritory. was shot aad killed in 6 saloon fight at Santa Fe, N. NJ.

Chief of Police George Bravin ,whoss ever watchful eye keeps Tomh.tone one o: tee best policed cities in Ari- zons, effected sn important capture yesterday when with Jailer Ned White two Mexicans were arrested in Mexi- can town and placed in jail charged with burglary.
 Recently severrl private residences have been rifled by unknown bur. glars and no clue left by the petty msrsujers The work ~as done in . eimiisr manner in each csee- the house broken into in the daytime when the occupants were away, and the premises robbed of what was handy and could be conveniently carried of. Entrance was effected by window or keys carried to unlock the doors.
 Chief Bravin suspected the Me1i- cans who were jailed by the officers and 6 search revealed the fact that one of the housebreakers carried q bunch of keys, among them several skeleton keys which would easily unlock any ordinary doors of bus'- ness place oE residence.
 Later some of the stolen articles were recovered, and the Mexicans- each about P yesrs of sge-fnally admitted their guilt A third Mexi. can was to join them and ssystematic and deliberate robbery of many places was planned.
 The adventurous youths had not figured on the consequences. Being checked by Chief Bravin was on the program not looked for. and from present appearances 6 good jail sentence. if not . term in the penitentisry, awsits the daring young men.

Appointment Does Not
 Meet With Favor

Indignation is rife in Prescott republican circles over the recent action of Ralph Cameron, delegate to congress, in nominating Stanley Liv. iogston Wilson, s Boston young man. ss first alternate for admittancs into the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, as midshipmsn from this territory.
 The nomination of young Wilson as first alternate accompanied the nomination of Winslow, . son of Charles B Howard. nov proprietor of the electric thester of Prescott.
 The Courier says: "A protest ad- dressed to the secretary of the navy against the acceptance into the academy from this territory has been forwarded to Washington by W. W. Rose of Prescott.
 Prominent residents of the city do not hesitste Co say that Wilson is not entitled to admission into the navel academy from Arizona on ac- count of not being bona 6de resident. and declaring that in the nomination of Wilson the rights of every Arizona boy eligible to admission has been ignored.
 "Stanley Livingston Wilson arrived in Prescott December 28. 1909, ano registered at the Congress hotel, wher; he has resided since. He registered from Boston. He is the son of Norri, s. Wilson, residing ct l20 Milk street Boston. Mass. The senior Wilson il the New England agent of the Amer ican Linseed Oil company and is [ personslf friend of Delegate to Congress Cameron and Professor Lowell of thu Flagstaff observatory.
 "The nomination Of first alternat, as midshipman in the naval academ, appears to be very highly prised especially in the east. inasmuch as i induced Norris s Wilson, the Nes England oil agent, to incur tb, expense of sending his son Stsnle, all the way from Boston to Arizon, in order to gain . residence here g, as to be ct least partially qualified t, take the next examination in event o the failure of young Howard"

Courtland Says It
 Still Is a Live One

Courtland. through its chamber of commerce, has officially denied the reports of the abandon ment of the camp, which recently gained wide circulation. h this connection the Arizonan esys:
 "whiIe it is true that the Copper Queen has abadoned work on the property ou which that company held optiors, it was stated that at no time had that company worked on more than two shsits at any one time.
 "In this connection it vas shown that Walter Douglas had been quoted in the Arizona Mining Journal as saying that hA company had not abandoned Codrsland permanently and that wdrk would be resumed when the conditions were more favorable.
 "One year ago. when two railroads were hurrying to get into Courtland, there were but five shafts st work and since that time the Mamie has been started and worked continuously. and the Gold Queen has been put in the reducing class.
 "A resolution was adopted by which the secretary was ordered to commu- nicate with the two pspers ot Douglas and Bisbee, also the Tombstone paper, asking them to eend representatives to Courtland to be met by members of the chamber of commerce and mines, who will show them the actual conditions that exist in this camp at the present time in an effort to countersct the false impres. sion which is being sent out through the columns of the papers of the territory"

agriculture, at the Eastern Illinois
In discussion of this subject, two
questions will be asked and an attempt
will be made to answer each. The
Hrst question is, Does the girl need
10 be trained for the profession of
home-making? The second question
Is, IF the girl needs this training. can
she get it at home from her MOTHER"
In taking up the first question, we
will all agree that home-making is a
profession, on an equal with medicine,
with the law. with the ministry and
with teaching. Yet We demand of our
teachers, of our minister. of our law
yers, and Of our physicians, a broad
education for foundation and then
special training in addition. Must We
demand this of women in the home?
1t has been believed that women pos
sess an instinct for home-making,
which sUffices to make her a success

full home-maker. But the lower ami
mails have these instincts, and are we
going to place this profession on this
basis!
Science Needed.
The subjects that are required of a
trained home-maker can be classed
under four heads. The first is that of
science. A woman to be a successful
home-maker should know chemistry,
because her kitchen is a laboratory,
where the most complicated expert
ments are constantly going on. Food
has a certain chemical composition
which is changed by the chemical
agents used in the kitchen. These
chemical agents are heat, acid and al
kali. In order TO prepare the food, to
make it fit for the human body, she
must know the exact composition of
the particular food she is to prepare
and the required amount and degree of
heat that Will make it digestible. One
food may be fit for the human body,
but combined with another food, a
chemical compound will be formed
that is not good for the body
The knowledge of chemistry is of
use in third way. for she must know
