Story by An Arizona Woman.

Mrs. M. w. Lorraine, of Phoenix, the we'll known Arizona writer, ap- pears to be making, great strides in the literary world. In the October number of the West Coast Magazine, which has just been received, we read the first installment of serial story from her pen.
 Judging from the first few chapters, which appear in that number we think that the story will certainly prove fascinating, and considerably advance Mrs. Loraine's literary fame. The story should be read with inter- est by all Arizona people, because Mrs. Lorraine is an Arizona writer, and also because the scene is laid in this state.
 It is called "Margot;" and has a strong plot, is full of interest and at times is tense with dramatic situ- ations. There is plenty of local color in it, and the descriptions are very beautiful. This is indeed a notable addition to the literature of Arizona, and Mrs. Lorraine is to be congratulated on her efforts.

Col. Pickett Makes Clear Ju,t What He
 Proposes About SenatOrshIp.

In an interview with reporter of the Review, Col. Pickett made clear his position in regard to the United States sena torship. He said:
 ''I expect to be democra tic candi- date for senatorship in the event we get statehood. There is little doubt but what we will get it from the pres ent outlook.
 ''I shall ask all the aspirants for the senatorship to sign joint agree ment for the submission of our claims to primary election and let the people choose two men that they desire for the first senators of Ari- zona.. The two men who get the highest number of votes at the pri- maries shall go before the legislature to be voted upon. The rest of the candidates will retire from the field. This is practically the equivalent of the workings of a direct primary election law.
 "This is no new experiment.. In Tennessee when Senator Taylor and ex-Senator Carmack were engaged in contes1. Taylor for the senator ship and Carmack for reelection they both signed such an agreement and submitted their claims to a pri- mary election. This was before Ten nessee had primary election law. >

 Both fires originated in the black smith section and the second soon spread to the machine shops, then to the boiler-making section aud finally to the round-house.
 The buildings soon s,collapsed. In addition to much valuable machinery there were ten locomotives, eighteen oil tenders and four ballast cars des- troyed.
 Immediately across the yards were tanks holding 2OO,O 900 barrels of fuel oil which were barely saved. Their destruction would have doomed the entire city because ot the arroya a few feet away which winds through many sections.

Murderers Are Behind The Bars.
Phoenix Democrat


 Having placed in the Globe jail his prisoners, Steele and Stewart, whom he captured at Adamana one week after they murdered Kibbe and Hill pot, Sheriff Thompson returned to Phoenix, bringing Al Tompkins, Gila county prisoner, to the insane asy- lum. Deputy Sheriff Gene Shute came with him from Globe.
 Steele and Stewart have retained Attorneo Thomas Flannigan, form CT resident of Phoenix, to act as their attorney. The date for the preliminary hearing has not yet beer set.
 Thompson described the capture of Steel and Stewar at Adamana for the first time as follows:
 "After travelling about 1000 miles our posse reached Adamana twenty four hours before the two men we were after. sent District Attorney Walter Shute back with part of the posse to prevent Steele and Stewart turning back over their tracks.
 "That day I rode about sixty miles along the railroad to see if they had shown up anywhere, and went back to Adamana in the evening. At 9 o'clock I saw two men coming down the track. I was not certain it was Steele and Stewart, but I ordeIed them to throw up their hands.
 ''I had my 30 40 Winchester on the men, and they threw up their hands without offering a fight of any kind. had expected trouble when we met the men. They were surprised to find me at Adamana. They said they thought all of us had left when Shute went away.
 -"The men had walked 200 miles and were badly in need of water and food. Any fight there might have been in them was taken out by their long, hard walk with us after them.
 "The mems feet were in such coudi. ton when I got them back to Globe that I had to call a doctor to look after them. They admit the killing, but they claim it was in self de- fense."
 Sheriff Thompson spoke in terms of praise of the men who were with him in the chase. District Attorney Shute, he declared, was one of the best men he ever saw on chase of the kind. Walter Dean, who was with Thompson when the capture was affected, came in for his share of praise.
 Thompson and his deputies had nc trouble getting the men into the county jail at Globe. They were taken in an automobile to avoid ar irving in the city on one of the trains. It had been reported in Phoenix that there was danger of a lyuching when the murderers reach ed Globe.

LOSS AT SEA FEARED.
Derelict Seen Supposed to Be the
Edgar C. Ross.

1t is now stated that the reported ar
rival of the three-nlaster coasting schoon-
er Edgar C. Ross, long overdue on a trip
from Charleston to New York, at Der
muda is an error and the latest reports
confirm the suppositin that she has bees
lost at sea. This report comes from the
Italian steamer Europa, which arrived at
New York in the latter part of the past
week. Capt. Laverello of the steamer
states that January %. in latitude 80 de-
grees II minutes and longitude 40 de-
grees 10 minutes, he passed near dere-
lict upon which he could see Edgar c."
The position given causes conjecture as
to how the Edgar c. Ross could have
been that far eastward. When spoken
January 10 by the British schooner Min
ME F. Crosby the Ross was In latitude
30 degrees and longitude GO degrees. west.
1t is thought that q mistake in longitude
was made IN reporting that the Edgar
c." was seen in 40 degrees west, but in
the same latitude as the Ross was seen
by the Crosby
Nothing has been heard from Bermuda
of the safe arrival OF the vessel there
by the s. b. Marts Company and other
owners OF the schooner at Baltimore. to

The tendency is more and more toward
larger and expensive buildings of every
kind, and the people generally have to
pay for them. That fact ought to be
GUESSING the increased cost of living. We
may be entirely unconscious of the act,
but as the population at large grows
more extravagant and spends money more
freely. every one of us Is compelled to
contribute indirectly our share.
New York now has the most splendid
hotels, apartment houses, office buildings,
mercantile establishments. theaters, and
restaurants that ever existed anywhere
In the world, in any period of history,
and while they do not represent SO much
labor or SO large expenditure of money
as some of the ancient palaces Of the dead
cities of Europe and Asia, there is no
comparison in convenience, comfort or
luxury.
