from second to first base, and Nc
Geary, who was once more our short

The Clifton stockholders of the Arizona Copper company have sent petition to the board of directors in Scotland, asking that Jmes Col quhoun be elected chairman of the board of directors in the place of John Gill, who :ong held the position, and recently was removed by death. Certain it is that the board could find no one in Scotland, nor any where, that knows the affairs of the company as does MT. Colquhoun and it is probable that no man could do as much for the company as he can. It is to be hoped that the pe- tition of the stockholders will re- ceiYe favorable action in Scotland.

"On to Washington" is the slogan flying from the front page of the Ari- zona Gazette. The proposition is made that an Arizona committee, composed of those in favor of the present constitution, leave Phoenix on the night of February 11th for Washington to use their influence with the President and Congress in favor of statehood. The suggestion is excellent. By all means let it be carried out. None but the faithful believers in the "Oregon brand" should be allowed on the committe. By all means the editor of the Gazette should lead this committee, and every member of the constitu- tional convention should be mem- Der. There could be no question of the loyalty of any member ot such a committee. With every member of the convention, together with the editor of the organ of the convention, demanding that congress and the president approve the Oregon brand, how could they refuseI The delegates to the constitutional convention are the ones to send to Washington on this committee. Against the advice of democrats and republicans of national repute, and staunch friends of Arizona, the delegates to the con stitutional convention persisted in writing into the constitution those provisions, which they were advised were debatable at Washington. Since the adjournment of the con vention they have hooted at the idea that congress and the President would not approve "the best constitu- ton ever written" These are the men to lead the procession Ion to Washington" Any other committee, who failed to secure statehood, would immediately be accused of treachery to the territory and betrayal of its people into the hands of the Especial interests" -

Morenci, Jan. 2G.-At a meeting of the officers of Troop "A" Tuesday evening it was decided to give their Annual Washington's birthday Ball. The advisability of putting on an other play was discussed and con- sidering the great hit they made with their first play, it was decided to present another. The exact date or time was not decided upon but it was thought advisable by the mayor ity to wait until after the ball.
 Soon Morenci and Clifton are to meet on the bowling alleys at Cliff ton as several of the bowlers are get ting together a team to journey down to our sister city and endeavor to show them how it should be done.
 Seems as if Clifton now that it is the county seat should be able to sup port basket ball team. Who ever heard of a wide awake city with a big hall like the Armory, going with out basket ball team?

The statehood league in Cochise county is complaining about the be- trayal of the democratic party by the democratic press of that county because this same press advocated the omission of the .debatable provi- sion from the constitution at this time and make statehood certain. To show their opposition to the de- mocraric press an order for fifty copies daily of a republican news paper of Phoenix has been placed for free distribution. A splendid oppor- tunity is thus afforded the democrat ic press of Cochise county to join that growing circle of strong inde- pendent newspapers. We predict those democrats at the head of the statehood league in Cochise county will know the difference when milk ing time comes.

New York. Dec. 16.-The progress I'm

death of Lieut.. Thomas E. Selfridge,

man lost his life in 1909 four, i'm 1910
thirty 1.-TWO. and to date for the present
year seventy seven persons have been
killed.

Whereas in the earlier days of the

While aviation has been carried on
almost as extensively i'm Canada as
elsewhere ii is interesting to note that

lations With U. S. if Treaty
is Abrogated
AMBASSADOR MAKES PROTEST
Representative Of Gar Calls on
tn Presiden: Today
Says Proposed Action by Congress is
Inconsistent With Long Friend
ship of Countries.

Washington, Dec. 16.-Russian Am
bassador Bakhmetiem called at the
White House today and formally pro-
tested against the proposed abrogation
Of the treaty of 1882, on the ground
that such action was inconsistent with
the long friendship between the two
countries. When he reached the White
House, Bakhmetieff was at once re-
ceived by President Taft. who called
Secretary Knox into the conference.
The Ambassador let II be known that
Russia is decidedly dissatisfied with
the Sulzer resolution.
After the diplomats departure Taft
and Knox continued in consultation.
The ambassadors protest is inter-
prcted as diplomatic threat by Rus
STA TO sever all friendly relations with
the United States in the event the
treaty is abrogated.
While neither the president nor Sec
retary Knox We're alarmed today over
the turn OF affairs. IT was said at the
White House, that assurances have
been received that a determined effort
will be made by the Senate leaders TO
modify the Sulzer resolution.
Action on the treaty is scheduled in
the Senate for Monday, but It was in
dicated today that the consideration
might be delayed. Meanwhile the pres
ident and Secretary Knox are con-
tinuing diplomatic negotiations with
Russia.
The ambassadors protest was first
made 10 Secretary Knox late last night.
Later the secretary called at the White
House and took the matter up with
the president the conference extending
late into the night. Today the secre-
tary and president considered the mat
ter for more than an hour and it was
not until this conference was ended
that the matter became public.
Following todav's conference the
Russian ambassado! called at the state
and was closeted for some
time with the secretary.
