liquor man carried his crowd for his

State Drunkenness AlarmineIy In

Vermont has one criminal workhouse
for the entire state. located at Rut-
land. The number of criminal drunk
ards committed for the two years, 1901
and 1902, was S0S for the two years,
1903. 1904, 1,0S1: for the two years,
1905 and 1906. 1.404
In New Hampshire each county
takes care of this class of criminals.
The totals for all the counties for the
several years tell tremendous tale.
In 1902. the last year of State prohi-
bition. the total number of criminal
DRINKS was is; in 1903. S3S; 1904.
1887; 1905. 1.6S7: 1906. 2.1S1. This
rate ofincrease is appalling. An in
crease from 473 a year under violat-
led, poorly enforced state prohibitory
system, To 2.1S1 under a modern. care
| fully constructed license law with the
best administration of any license law
in the Union, is a serious condition. 1t
confirms The truth of the statement
that Prohibition at IT'S worst is better
than license at its best"
These two facts from the two states
ought to appeal to every Christian cit
i2en of Vermont and New Hampshire,
lintensifyng the demand that the mi
quitous system which is responsible
pealed 1t ought to appeal to every
patriotic citizen of Maine not to be
fooled by the sophistry and falsehoods
of men who want to open Maine to
such a disastrous system.

We met in the large committee room occupied by the minority members of the House, and in a fewminutes the subject of Statehood was brought up. MT. Clark, it will be known to all, is to be the next Speaker of the House, and assumes that responsibil- ity when the extra session eonvenes in April. This prominent man stated that so far as the present session was to be considered, action on the Arizona Constitution was impossible, and the only hope was in the next session considering it in it's order. Concluding the brief interview, with MT. Clark, I was somewhat startled when he addressed me with the fol- lowing question: WHY DID YOU PUT THOSE INNOVATIONS IN THE CONSTITUTIONf

PROMISING LEAD MINE FOUND IN

One of the heaviest lead bearing veins found in this county in recent years was discovered last week in the North Verde district, the blossom of which sampled "A per cent, and one half-ounee in silver. The new find, which is owned by NJ. A. Per kins, is located immediately north of the Verde River, four miles west of the Perkins home ranch, and twelve miles east of Cedar Glade, on the s. F., P. & P. railroad.
 Samples were brought to the city yesterday by NJ. A. Perkins, and tested in local laboratory, return ing values of $37.45 a ton.
 MT. Perkins is preparing to sink shaft on the vein at the point of discovery, with the intention of pros peeting it to considerable depth. The discovery was made by one of his employees, who is engaged in the de- velopment of one of an adjoining group of eight claims, which has a promising showing in copper and gold.

Miss Ella Sheldon of Fort Apache, who mas been in the. city for a few days, as the guest of Mrs. George Wooster, left yesterday for Pasa- dena, Cal, where she will visit for several weeks with Major and Mrs. Leslie Groves, U. S. A. Miss Sheldon, for the first time in over eighteen years, is enjoying the novelty of again being in civilization, passing that great length of time in devoted ly caring for an afflicted relative, and never left the above military garrison for even a single day since she assumed the duty of caring for the aged woman Fort Apache is in the heart of the White Mountain Indian reservation, and over one hundred miles distant from the Santa Fe railroad, in the widest and most uninviting portion of Arizona. In recalling the distant day when she was first called to the post, with womanly devotion she says that the long years that have passed, have been solaeing ones, for the reason that she has sincerely endeavored to fill a mission on the humane side of life, and while pleasures have been sacrificed, and she has been shut out of the world, her isolation has been one that has afIeviated suffering and provided personal comfort toward the afflicted, that has the bright and cheerful side of an earthly ear eer. Miss Sheldon is vivaeious and prepossessing, and in leaving the Territory for the first time in two score years, will be the welcome guest of her military friends, Major Graves, until recently, was station ed at Fort Apache as army chaplain, being on leave of absence.

No Hope For Statehood, Says Judge
 Hawkins, With Present Constitution

Arizona Constitution that was to be submitted to him and Congress. l desire this feature of the interview with the President not to be mis- construed.
 "From the temper of the many of. fieial expressions heard, believe that the incorporation of the initia- tive and referendum features in the document are bad enough, and with the recall of the judiciary, the lat ter is a fatal one to the Statehood cause. THERE IS NO DOUBT OF THIS. It is my opinion, that Presi- dent Taft, in his forthcoming mes sage to Congress, in April, will sug- gest a remedy for these evils, for l believe that he is not only sincere, but extremely anxious for Arizona to be admitted to Statehood.
 CT furthermore believe that there will have to be a remedy formulated in which the best business interests of Arizona will assume that respon- sibility, to work in harmony with the wishes of the President and Con- gress. IT IS IMPERATIVELY NECESSARY IF STATEHOOD IS TO BE SECURED. There is no disgusting thi, phase of the situa- tion.

We were courteously received and considerably treated, and the affabil- ity of the executive was a pleasing one to all present. In receiving the delegation, President Taft gave us the right of way to enter against several hundred other representatives of different interests, and this kindly act is a very agreeable one to look back upon in our mission. In the course of the interview, President Taft stated that Arizona could not

LABOR RECRUITS
 FOR MEXICAN REBELS
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

(From Wednesdays Daily.)
 That the Mexican insurrection is assuming huge proportions, and that the progress of the internecine clash has wide range, is the general opin- ion of several who have recently ar rived in Prescott, and relate actual conditions, as observed near the Ari- zona boundary line. The develop ment of new situation that has sud denly appeared on the troubled hor- izon in the possible invasion of Mex iean territory by an element that has not heretofore been brought into play, is also serious phase. Yes terday two well known and reliable citizens of Northern Arizona arrived from Naeo, from whom it was learned that rather a delicate international question is in process of incubation, which has not generally been reeog- nized until the last few days. It is concerted movement under way to cooperate with the insurreeto ele- ment, and at the present time num- bers over three hundred intrepid American volunteers, who are identi- fled with labor movements in this country, in one organization or an- other. This condition is said to be actually in existence, and the state ment is also made that recruits for the new wing of the insurrecto army are en route from all parts of the country sufficient to make a force of over 5000, that will be available by the first of April. From the same sources it is learned that several towns in Arizona, on or close to the border, are enjoying prosperous trade conditions, and the arrival of many strangers leads to the belief that the situation is assuming an international phase.
 The representative of a small arms furnishing house, who was in this city a snort time ago, stated that his firm had been exhausted of its stock of guns and ammunition of standard ealiber, and is now supply ing the trade with .22 ealiber rifles. Weather conditions are also reported as favorable for the insurreetos cam paigning in the open, and during the last few days they are reported in the field in large numbers and driv- ing non-eomatants over the line to Douglas and other points.

SPOKANE WOMAN
 STARTS NOVEL LAW SUIT

SPOKANE, Wash, March B. Fifty-four thousand dollars damages is asked by Mrs. Milla Elmslie in an action filed in the Spokane county Superior Court on behalf of herself and eight minor children against Jimmy" Durkin, saloonkeeper, and the B. Sehade Brewing company, both of Spokane, who, it is alleged, are responsible for the death of her husband. The complaint declares the defendants sold and supplied intox- ieating liquors to William Elmslie "with the knowledge it was to be drunk under circumstances sufficient to lead them to believe such beer and whisky would result in intOxiea- tion.D
 Elmslie, a workingman, fell from the third story of a local packing plant, under construction, on Novem- Der 4, 1910, and sustained a broken back and other injuries, which re- suited in his death soon afterward- Durkin, wno is a joint defendant, figured in the news several years ago, when he permitted a Baptits preacher to decorate the front windows of his saloon with wax figures and text matter showing the evil of the liquor traffic.

CONTEMPLATING
 GREAT POWER PLANT
(Mohave County Miner.)


 During the past two months, MT. Williams, who was at one time con nected with the Desert Power and Water company, has been investi- gating different parts of the lower Grand Canyon of the Colorado with view to building a great dam across the stream for the creation of power. This, it is understood, has resulted in the discovery of a place that is suitable to the pur- pose, and MT. Williams has gone to Los Angeles to make a report to his superiors. The men behind this pro- jeet are well able to carry it to a successful termination.
 A power plant in the Grand Can yon would be of inealculable bene- fit to this section of Arizona, as it would put within the possibilities the irrigation of vast tracts of land and at the same time give to the mines cheap power. Enough power could be created by one great dam in the river to operate every piece of ma chinery in Arizona, and without di- minishing the flow of that stream one drop. On the other hand, by the operation of a system of pumping plants water could be raised to an elevation whence distribution could be had to many of the valleys of this part of the Territory. This great project would cost far less than many of the estimates of government and other engineers, but even if it cost the full amount it would amount to but a very small percentage of the valuation it would put on all the lands that would be brought under the benign influence of irrigation.
 While we have long looked for ward to the day when governmental aid would be forthcoming to build this great dam, we will welcome the project, no matter who the builder may be.

RICH LANDS ARE
 SWEPT INTO OCEAN

SANTA BARBARA, Cal, March g. Over one thousand acres of rich bottom land was washed into the sea by the raging Santa Barbara river, during the past two days, ae- cording to reports received tonight. The river is still rising, from the eff fects of continued storms in the mountains. It is reported that five persons were drowned in Arroya Grande. The wires are down north of here. and it is impossible to ob- tain a full report of the damage.
 The Union Oil company reports the loss of it's 75,OOO barrel reser- voir. Santa Maria is inundated, with four to six feet of water in the busi- ness section, causing a large loss to the merchants. It is estimated that it will cost $10O,OO0 to repair the county roads and replace the bridges, which will be done immediately, un- der the emergency act. The loss in the city is nominal. The storm is evidently over. The rainfall of the storm was 8 inches, and that for the season 30 inches.
