THE NEWS has had occasion in previous issues to advocate the municipal ownership of the water supply, and we heartily believe that the best interests of the city would be subserved by such owner ship. Williams ct present is in the position of a tenant paying rent. The landlord collects his monthly stipend, year in and year out, and the tenant. after paying sufficient sum to have purchased the prop erty, has no claim on it whatever. How much better it would be for the town to own it's water supply, Q matter at the present time easy of accomplishment, and have the revenues from the plant flowing into the coffsrs of the city? Why continue to tax ourselves indefi- nitely and have absolutely nothing to show for the vast amount we contribute? It's not good business policy. Let us be wise.

THE extra session of congress convenes next Tuesday, and one of the first measures to be acted on by that body will be the statehood bill. Arizona's chances for admis- sion, THE NEWS believes, are very promising. The sentiment has been growing since the adjournment of the late congress that the constitu- tion submitted to and carried by the people of Arizona is the kind of a constitution wanted, and as no one but the people of Arizona are to live under it, statehood should be granted them. Senator Owen says he will, on the first day of the session. introduce a ten-line bill that will admit Arizona and New Mexico into the union. And the Hon. Bob Owen generally knows "where he's at."

BIGGEST LOCOMOTIVE
 FOR ARIZONA LINES

According to a dispatch from Topeka to the New York Sun, a distinction is coming to Arizona in the form of the worlds biggest loco motive, which has just been built in the Topeka shops of the Santa Fe railway company, for freight service over the heavy grades in this territory. This locomotive is 121 feet long. It will be operated tender foremost, as the great length of the boiler obstructs the view of the engineer. Oil will be used for fuel, as no man could shovel coal into it fast enough to keep up the 225 pounds of steam pressure re- quired.
 The boiler is of the sectional non-explosive type. The locomo- tive has duplicate compound air pumps, power reversing apparatus and two electric headlights, one in front and one at the rear. The locomotive weighs 750.000 pounds and rests on ten pairs of driving wheels, two leaders under the pilot and two trailers under the cab, making 24 wheels under the engine itself and 12 under the tender. The articulated type of locomo tive is in reality two separate sets of engines with their wheels connected by one long rigid boiler of tremendous steam capacity. The rear engine is rigidly attached to this boiler. while the forward engine supports it by massive slide, so as to let the locomotive go around curves.

THE Arizona Democrat of Phoe- nix, in a recent editorial, lauds Senator Bailey as "loyal and con- sistent friend" of Arizona and be- littles the work done by w. R. Hearst for the cause of statehood. The Democrat editor has evidently forgotten that it was MT. Hearst who. at his own expense, brought a party of congressman from Wash ington to Arizona for the purpose of showing them our vast resources, thereby enabling them personally to refute islanders made against the territory by enemies of statehood. The Democrat has also probably overlooked the fact that the powerful Hearst papers, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, have always been the true and tried friends of Arizona. THE NEWS believes in giving credit where it is due, and it is not to Joseph w. Bailey, to whom Ari- zonans owe nothing, but to William R. Hearst that our people are in- debted for the splendid work he has done for the territory and will continue to do for the new state.

other public servants. There is no reason why newspaper should give the use of it's columns to a county for publication of matter required by law to be published for a price less than the law establishes than there is for the sheriff to serve a subpoena for a smaller fee than that prescribed by law, or clerk to issue a warrant. Now in the case at issue in Yuma county the Sun bid about 40 per cent of what the law allowed, and was given the work in the face of a bid of the Examiner of about 12 per cent. Both newspapers ought to be sup pressed for bidding such prices, and the board should hay. refused the contract to both, but given it to the Sentinel at the price estab- lished by law. A newspaper editor who will put in such bld as either ought to be kicked out of the busi- ness and out of the town he dis graces by publication of a news paper. It is just such things that discredit newspaper and newspaper men. They cheapen and demean themselves by struggling for busi- ness regardless of the prices they accept. "The laborer is worthy of his hire." and if newspaper man is not worthy of the highest price the law recognizes as his hire, just the same as sheriff or any other official, that man has no place in the newspaper business or any. where else where men expect fail living for their service.

the factory, however, who were in
 the building at the time, escaped. And this terrible sacrifice of life was avoidable. If reasonable pre-
 caution had been taken in safe guarding the lives of the employees; if adequate fire escapes had been provided, such a holocaust would have been averted. But that would cost money, and the east side of New York is swarming with men, women and children eager and anxious to work for a mere pit tance, even in the face of a danger that constantly threatens. Those lines of Tom Hood in "The Song of the Shirt" recurs to THE NEWS as we read of this recent horror, "Oh, that meat and bread should be so dear. and life should be so cheap"

THE report is. current that, fol- lowing the retirement of the mem bers of Diaz' late cabinet, the pres ident himself and Vice President Corral will sail for Europe, leaving Jose Yves Limantour at the head of affairs in Mexico. That Diaz has been contemplating this move for some time is probable, as it is stated on good authority that with in the past three years he has sent $30, 100000 in gold to French and German banks. So whatever fate may befall the country that he has 30 long ruled with a rod of iron, the "grand old man" of Mexico has laid by sufficient of the needful to provide him with all of the neces. sities, most of the comforts and some of the luxuries of life for the remainder of his days.

GOVERNOR SLOAN, by proclama

GOVERNOR SLOAN, by proclama- tion, has set aside next Friday, April 2, as Arbor Day for the northern tier of counties of the territory. In many cities and vil- ages this day is fittingly observed by the children of the public schools and where possible trees are plant ed on school property. and the chil- dren are taught to care for and protect the trees. Owners of resi- dence property in Williams should prepare to plant trees, thereby beautifying their premises and adding to the intrinsic value of the property.
