The smallest crust may save human life;
The smallest act may lead TO human strife;
The smallest touch may cause the body pain;
The smallest spark may fire a field OF grain;
The simplest deed may tell the truly brave;
The smallest skill may serve life to save;
The smallest draught the the thirsty may relieve
The slightest look may make kind heart greve
Naught is so small but il may still contain
The rose OF pleasure or the thorn OF pain.

dent to adopt constitution and secure the statehood for which we have so long worked.
 "This is no time for friction among the friends of statehood, but the time to close ranks and present strong
 fighting front. There are undoubt- edly certain powerful interests who are absolutely opposed to statehood, and who will without delay use their influence in Washington; to counter act that influence we should have a fighting squad on the firing line work ing for stathood under this constitu- tion without delay.
 Following is the result of an inter- view with Governor Sloan at Phoenix on Friday of last week, as found in the Arizona Republican:
 ''I am just as desirous of seeing Arizona admitted to statehood now as heretofore" said the governor, and everybody knows thatI worked faithful to that end in the Chicago convention and last year at Wash ington.
 1T haven't yet abandoned hope that we may yet be admitted under the enabling act, or. by some amendment to it. I told the people the truth when I came back from Washington and said that there were unsurmount- able difficulties in the way of the approval of the constitution.
 ''The result of the election has not removed these difficulties, and have no hope that the recall feature as applied to the judiciary any argu- ment or appeal which we can make will be effective to bring about ex- ecutive approval.
 ''I shall do all can to prevent the defeat of statehood, notwithstanding this situa tion, by using such influence as may possess to obtain an exten- sion of time, as it were, under the enabling act, by which the people of the territory-possibly by conceding and possibly by persuad- ing the congress and the president 1o SOHOCuC eOHOtHlAS S-mdf OoCdln , 
 Personally, while there are things in the constitution, which deem un- wise, still I would, as a citizen, be willing to accept them if this would bring statehood-hoping that what ever should prove by actual experif ence to be unwise would be corrected | in the future by amendment"

LOrdsburg ( Hachita Merged.

The directors of the Lordsburg & Hachita railroad held a meeting at the depot in Lordsburg last Satur- day at which the resignation of Pres ident Hopkins was accepted and Col. M. J. Egan, of Clifton, was elected to fill the vacancy. The proposed con- solidation of the Lordsburg & Hachi- ta and the Arizona & New Mexico roads involves numerous and frequent signatures of the President, and as MT. Hopkins :is in the east it was more convenient to have a man on the spot to act as President. For the same reason Mir. Hopkins resigned the position of President of the Ari- zona SC New Mexico road and P. Rel singer was elected in his place. The directors declared a dividend and voted to join the road with the Ari- zona & New Mexico road and for that purpose form new corporation with the same name. President Egan and Secretary Thompson went to Lords burg in the private car Arizona" to attend the meeting.

APPRAISE COURT HOUSE LOTS.
Board Appointed by Probate Judge Shir-
 Icy Make Their Report

O. A. Risdon, Eugene Schwab an Jim Hagan, the board of appraisers appointed by Probate Judge Shirley this week made their report apprais- ing the value of the lots in Hills Ad- dition, selected by the Board of Sup eryisors as the site tor the new court house, at $500 each, or total of $500.
 At the time of going to press it is not known whether MT. Henry Hill, the owner of the lots, will ac- cept the appraised value as fixed by the board. It is a we'll known fact that in the past lots in this vicinity have been sold to individual pur- chasers for $500 per. lot. In the event that the appraised value is re- fused by the owner there is talk of condemnation proceedings, but there is difference of legal opinion re- garding the right of the county to bring condemnation proceedings to secure court house site. There is a rumor in circulation that the Board of Supervisors will be enjoined from issuing bonds for the building of the court house on Hills Addition and the action of the Board of Ap- praisers will at least cause delay in beginning the construction or the new court house for Greenlee county.
