Statehood Outlook
 Never Was Better

Editor c. H Akers of the Phoenix Gazette, a member of the statehood committee, who has arrived home
 from Washington ssys:-
 "The people nf this territory could
 go to sleep over the situation righ:
 now the outlook could not be bright CT. IL is merely a matter of detail. Statehood IS coming and it will be here within very few days or weeks. Congress is in favor of it, and there i. absolutely no opposition on the part of President Taft. MT. Tai will ap- prove the resolution provid ng for the admission of Arizona into l..e sister hood oi states"
 The Pres dent, MT Akera sad. is most friendly. There IS absolutely no question of his approval of the joint resolution. He never once in- dicsted to the committee n r to any of the senators or representatives that he had any thought of di-sapproviDg the constitution or the resolution. As a matter Of fact, no one nc ed ue surprised if Mir Taft gives his formal to cur constitution before | the congress has had time to act.

The Useful kiIIdeer.

The killdeer. II II is eaten at all In
this part Of the country. cannot stand
in high favor. There Is no talk OF
killdeer hunting. They are not to be
perceived In the string Of birds tho
successful hunter likes to display. But
there are pathetic evidence to be
noted on the beaches that those
"sportsmen" who shoot at anything
living find in the killdeer a target to
their liking.
In a bulletin just put out by the az
riculture department It appears that
this beautiful. II somewhat unmusical
bird. renders very efficient service to
mankind. 1t preys upon mosquito
larvae. The diving bettle. a great en-
emy to the fish hatcheries and do
structive to fish food. is titbit very
much to the taste of the killdeer. He
is an Industrious hunter OF the cray
fish which are a nuisance where
marshland Is dyked. He follows the
plow of the farmer and picks up
grubs. cut worms. leaf beetles and
other pests OF agriculture. He eats
little or no vegetable food. and prob
ably then, as in the case Of the quail.
only II he can find no insects.-Toledo

INFLUENCE OF WEST POINT
Cadet on Home Visit Surprises Young
Brother and Teaches Him
Good Lesson.

When Bob. our gallant West Point
cadet. came home for his long fur.
Tough. he slept with i2-year-old Dick.
In the morning he thoroughly shocked
Master Lazybones by stripping the
clothes from the bed and putting the
room in good order before he came
down to breakfast. Dicks eyes were
rounder than ever when Bob explained
that every cadet was required to keep
his room and clothes in Immaculate
condition. Before the end OF Bob's
furlough the boys had turned the cory
little room into a bare apartment
which Dick cared for with great pride
The wholesome discipline and results
OF the West Point training seem to US
to cTcr valuable lessons TO American
parents and teachers.
81 10y after Bob's visit the question
of e. srendirg money worked itself
out in very satisfactory way. Dick
often teased for things that were be-
yond the limits OF his moderate allow
ance. He is now able to add to his
income by working around the house
and grounds. Each hour OF conscien-
tious effort adds six cents to his al
lowence Consequently he is eager to
wash dishes. sweep. weed. paint. wash
windows. and do many other things
that he formerly regarded as particu-
larly obnoxious
His parents and friends have noticed
with amusement that the money he
has earned is spent with much greater
discrimination than that which Is given
to him.-iiarper' Bazaar.

GAN FLY 300 MILES AN HOUR

NEW YORK, Jan. ' - It is pos sible for an aeroplane to fly much sWifter than any vehicle that ever has been built. Right at this mo ment it's capabilities of speed are far beyond the daring of any human being" This statement was made by Wilbur Wright during his visit to this city.
 Tt is perfectly feasible" he said, Ito build an aeroplane which will fly 100, 200 or even 300 miles an hour. Possibly an aeroplane might attain even greater speed. The ma chine can be built which would stand up under the terrific strain for a limited time. The motors can be built which will drive the screw. In our propellers I believe we have the screw that can produce enormous speed. Going at the rate of 300 miles an hour, a man who could stand the strain would make the trip between New York and Chicago in three hours"

 News of the disaster has just reached here. The women were visiting on Bow creek, and with their children were driving across country from church when a breakdown occurred The man went to town for help and returned with a rescue party.
 One Of the women was dead from the cold and the other died in few minutes but both Indian babies were perfectly safe.
