ADMISSION OF TWO
TERRITORIES CERTAIN
FAVORABLE ACTION ON NELSON
RESOLUTION MONDAY PRAC-
TICALLY ASSURED

Washington, Aug. 5.-The Times,
in forecasting the outcome Of the
vote on statehood in the senate Mon
day, says:
"Once more statehood seems near for
the people of Arizona and New Mexi-
CO, and so confident are the proposed
new states that favorable vote will
result in the senate next Monday that
they have not sent the usual delega-
tions to Washington to urge favor
able action.
The question is now more than
one of sentiment in the two territor-
les. Business has been seriously af-
fected by the long delay. Differences
of opinion are being sidetracked in
order that the territories may take
up their full part in the union OF
states.
"All those directly interested in
statehood express confidence that
the senate will pass the Nelson res
olution which permits New Mexico
Immediately to become state with
out any further vote on her constitu
tion, and gives Arizona statehood
after the people have again voted OF
the recall clause.
There has been a great deal ol
politics in the statehood matter. Or
past performances New Mexico will
be republican and Arizona democrat

ic. While there is a possibility OF
the democrats overcoming the repub-
lican lead in New Mexico. indications
are that Arizona will remain demo-
cratic.
The few democratic congressman
who have been insisting upon the re-
call feature of the Arizona constitu-
tion are said to be willing now to
accept the proposition Of second
vote on that feature by the people of
Arizona in order that the territory
may be assured admission to the
Union in time to participate in the
presidential election. No matter
what action may be taken next Mon
day New Mexico will become a state
automatically in June, 1912. That
assures New Mexico Of an opportuni-
ty to take part in the 1912 campaign.
If the democrats refuse admission to
both territories Immediately, there is
the possibility that Arizona, going it
alone, might not get in for several
years. Granting that New Mexico
will be republican, the republicans
would gain two senators, while the
democrats would still be out in the
cold in Arizona. 1t is being urged
upon democrats that they have little
to gain and everything to lose by
holding up statehood.
'Tt is generally conceded that the
president will approve statehood as
provided by the Nelson resolution.
All who have gone to- the White
House interested in the passage of
the resolution have come away smil-
ing. On the other hand it is consid-
cred worse than useless for a bill to
be passed accepting the recall of
judges feature in the Arizona con-
stitution. The president is reported
as perfectly willing that the people
oil Arizona, in calmness and coolness
of time. shall again take up the re-
call feature, but it is not proposed |
by him to approve such an innovation.
Word reaching Washington from
the two territories is that the people |
confidently expect favorable action
and that there will be grave disap-
pointment If the bill should fail next

Didn't Have
 Sense Enough To Telephone
Instead, Rang in Alarm for Trivial Blaze After Car Had Been Smoulderlng Ten Minutes.

Someone whose brains were aodleu by excitement rang in a fire alarm from box 37, Wall and Main streets, about o'clock last night, to suooue a blaze under trolley car i'll Whlch fuse had blown out. In respondlng to the alarm, Fire Chief Mooney hao one of the closest calls of his career:
 The funny part Of it all was the fact that the car was standlns on .ie tracks, smouldering for 10 minutes, and during all that time no one hao sense enough to drop into any or seV- eral nearby stores and telephone TOT the auto-chemical..
 Instead of that they all fusseo around the fire for fully 10 minutes, and then someone pulled in a general alarm, bringing a dozen pieces or ap- paratus to the scene, fire engines, hook and ladders, hose wagons, two auto chemicals, and the chief. The fire was extinguished in ten seconds
 Chief Mooney was in another part of the city when the alarm rang. HIS automobile was the last to arrive OH the scene. It came down Main street from Congress street at 70 miles an hour. Apparently he had clear street, and the chauffeur let out the Locomobile to the top notch.
 At the corner of Fairfield avenue there was no policeman, and the crowd there didn't know enough to keep traffic back. Just as the ch1efs car approached the corner, an automobile darted across Main street. The chau1- feur on the chiefs car pulled hard 10 one side and every one gasped TOT breath. The chiefs car missed the other by about quarter of an inch, it seemed. If they had hit there wouldn't have been enough left of either car to sell to respectable junk

And in the farthest corner of the open compartment, facing each other companionably in an S shaped dou- ble chair, were two other young peo- pie, man and a woman. Truly, the heavens had fallen, for the young woman filling half of the chair was that one person whom Lidgerwood would have circled the globe to avoid meeting.
 Lidgerwood meant to obey his first impulse, which prompted him to follow MT. Brewster to the private office state room in the forward end of the car. But the triumphantly beautiful young woman in the nearer half of the crook ed backed seat would by no means sanction any such easy solution of the difficulty.
 ''Not a word for me, Howard" she protested, rising and fairly compelling him to stop and speak to her. Then: "For pity's sake! What have you been doing to yourself to make you look so hollow eyed and anxious? Possibly you will shake hands little less ab- stractedly with MT. Van Lew. Her bert, this is Howard Lidgerwood, my cousin several times removed. He is the tyrant of the Red Butte Western. and can assure you that he is much more terrible than he looks. aren't you, Howard:"
 "Glad to meet you, MT. Lidgerwood, Pm sure," said the tall young man, gripping the given hand until Lidger- hoe telling me about you-marooned out here in the Red desert"
 Papa says there is a hotel at Angels called the Celestial" said Miss Brew ster. DO you live at the Celestial, Howard?
 'sNo; never properly lived there. existed there for a few weeks until Mrs. Dawson took pity on me-"
 Hear himv' scoffed Miss Eleanor, still mocking. ''Tell me. Howard, is Mrs. Dawson a charming young wid- ow?"
 Mrs. Dawson is a very charming middle aged widow, with a grown son and a daughter" said Lidgerwood, a little stifly. 1t seemed entirely unnec-
 
 before the athlete.
 "And the daughter-is she charming too?"
 Miss Dawson is quite heneath your definition of charming, imagine" was Lidgerwood's rather crisp rejoinder. And for the third time he made as if he would go on to join the president in the office stateroom.
 ''You are staying to luncheon with US, aren't you," asked Miss Brewster, 'or do you just drop in and out again, like the other kind of angels?"
 Your father commands me, and he says l am to stay. And now. if you will excuse me-
 This time he succeeded in getting away and up to the luncheon hour talked copper and copper prospects to MT. Brewster in the seclusion. of the presidents office compartment. The call for the midday meal had been giv- en when Mir. Brewster switched sud denly from copper to silver.

SEEK NOT TOO FAR. (HarffOrd Times


 Our old friend the Winsted cores pondent has been rediscovered by the Boston Post and made, with the Win chendon, Mass, correspondent, into a distinct species. From the published works of these authorities the Post man has evolved conception of the towns; and here it is:
 .'In our minds eye Winsted is a very small, sunny town, with thick bushes growing in the streets All of the inhabitants wear boards. From the depths of the bushes large snakes watch the townspeople as they go down to the station to collect the eggs which their hens have laid on the 'cow catcher" of the engine which draws the one daily train. Behind the town is a small pond infested with enormous fish. When the inhabitants go to the shore of this pond and peer into it the fish leap up and catch them by the noses. As for the Winchendon, the news reports have firmly convinc- ed us that Winchendon is a small, dark town, set in the midst of a for est of gloomy pine trees and black berry bushes, and inhabited by folk who are in terror of their lives on account of the ferocious mountain lions and partners which turk behind the trees. The inhabitants live by blackberrying, but every time one of them goes out to pluck the berries he is chased by one of the partners"
 The fact is that these correspond ents are poets, men of imagination which bodies forth the forms of things unknown" They are such as invent or transmit the folk lore of a people. Then, long years after they have passed over to the majority, their works live although their names are forgotten.
 Even now does anyone know who writes these wonderful tales?
 Are they each an individual or a syndicate?
 Do the tales develop by easy" stages in a local Ananias club. or is each one struck out in a moment of poetic frenzy?
 Does any newspaper send a check for them to a flesh and blood man, or has anyone ever knowingly talked to either of these mysterious crea- lures?
 Is it possible that the Winsted and the Winchendon of these stories exist only in an office or hall bedroom in New York or Boston?
 If anyone can answer these Ques- tions let him kindly hold his peace. Half the pleasure of the readers of these wonders is due to the mystery that surrounds them. Let them be respected as well as admired.

GUINEA PIGS AS LAWN MOWERS
 (British Aericufturalist.

A curious but successful experiment is being made on a number of private te lawns in Kent, and is about to be tried by a golf club in the neighbor- hood of Greenhithe. The idea is the novel one of substituting the guinea pig for the moving machine and the weed killer.
 Around the lawn is arranged a low wire barrier and into the inclosure are turned number of guinea pigs, or better. a passage is made from their hutch to the lawn. The ami mals at once attack all the worst weeds-the plantains first, then the dandelions and daisies. These broad leaved plants which no moving ma chine will touch are killed by the per sistent cutting of the guinea pigs teeth. When they have finished the weeds, which are broad-Teaved and succulent. they proceed to the grass it had been cut by the closest ma chine. The persistent. cutting of the leaves kills the weeds, which can stand almost any other treatment but does no harm to the grass. one lawn, formerly a mass of weeds, has been made to grow nothing but the finer grasses. Another is stffi under process of treatment. The half of it in which the guinea pigs were first set to work has been cut quite even and very close. For golfng 1t IS as fast again as it was under the ad- ministration of the moving machine and not a weed visible. The other half, where the animals have just been turned loose, is a mass of dandelions.
 In this neighborhood it has been found that guinea pigs do not suffer at all by being left to work in winter as we'll as in summer. Indeed they are healthier than under the usual treatment of those who keep them as pets. An astonishing demand for the animals has grown up in the neigh borhood and if the inland golf clubs, which have great difficulties with plantains take to the new method. the guinea pig population is likely to go up in the ratio that natural fecun- dity of the animal suggests.
