 Mark Smith has seen peace, pros perity and approaching statehood come from his efforts-in direct line with his prediction made a quarter of a century ago, when he so earnestly and effectively urged the overthrow of the Apache as the only means Of building Arizona into sovereign state hood.

 Stafford, Ariz., Oct. 1911.
 Having spent the best part of my mature manhood within the territo ry of Arizona, my mind often carries me back oyer the moving scenes that have been enacted during the last third of a century or more, amid her mount aims, her mountain canyons, her mesquite covered uesas and her numerous valleys, where the waters. from their mountain sources, thread their way to the sea-

 During this period Arizona was making the fight of her very life-an unceasing struggle to it herself for future destiny. A sorrowful trail of desolation could be traced from the Black Mesa of the north to the inter- national border line on the south: it was marked by the murdered remains of thousands of her struggling settlers, some resting in shallow graves, while the bones. of many bleaChed into snowy white under q torrid sun, while the only requiems over those lonely spots were the voices of the birds mingling with the chanting of the winds. The charred homes, with the ascending smoke, told of sorrow ing families, of auguised hearts and of suffering souls. Too far away from the city of Washington for the lone ly pioneers cries to be heard, the war-dance kept steadily on and the shrill war-cry still resounded upon startled ears.

Then began that moment ous event which was tn change the future of Arizona and point the way to her grand destiny as a coming state.
 Mark Smith was for the 6rst time elected as delegate to congress, and there he speedily became a power among his fellow mem bers: Arizona's cry of deep distress was borne by him to Washington; he pressed it home to listening ears: the voice of the humble delegate from the desert increased in volume as he pleaded the cause of Arizona, the voice of humanity's demand. Arizona no long CT stood hat in hand as a begging mendicant at the portals of Wash ington, but she stood erect upon the floor of the American Congress, laundering forth the story of her

A 'Cascaret' Makes
You Feel Tip Top
No need of days when You are not at
your best-no need of Headache,
BiIliousness, Dizziness or Bad
Stomach.

Most of our dull days are due to inc
active bowels. Nearly all of our minor
ills could b. avoided by a little candy
Cascaret. Also, half of our greater
ills. Isn't it foolish to suffer when
there is such a pleasant way to avoid
it?
Cascarets save the hours. They save
the time that we waste If we are not at
our best. They bring good cheer. For
the blues and i'll temper rarely occur
when the bowels are properly helped.
They make the breath sweet, the COM
plexion clear, the eyes bright. All this
for ten cents per week.
In the old days people let matters
run until they needed q large dose of
physic. Then they took something Sc
vere-like castor oil, salts or cathartics.
That meant abuse to the bowels. These
are the days of the gentle and natural
they days of Cascarets. Carry a 10
cent box always with you. For the
right way to take them is one at a
time-just as soon as you need it.

putting the day off too long and with
but one dissenting vote September IL
was fixed for the ending of vacation.
Two years ago on account of the
fact that the State Fair was in pro-
gress on opening week school was de-
moralized, for many of the children
would not enroll in their respective
schools until they had taken in the
fair. A year ago the date was changed
so that the fair and exposition would
not conflict with the opening of the
city schools.
Monday night the members of the
board inquired as to the date of the
fair, but did not as a body consider
the demoralizihg influence of the fair
a sufficient excuse for the putting off
of the event.
OF course it will be sad blow to
the youngsters to know that they will
not be free fair week, and C. K. Hol-
liday was the only friend of the child
rem on the board. 1t was limited. how
ever, that a half holiday might be
granted the youngsters to enable them
to attend the big show.

visor of manual training at the high

ICE CASE SETTLED.
Topeka Companies Agree to Cut Price
to Small Consumers.

The investigation started by the at
torney general into the affairs of the
local ice companies came to an end
when the attorneys for the companies
agreed with Attorney General John 9.
Dawson to cut the price of ten-pound
cakes of ice from 75 cents per 100
pounds to fifty cents. The ice COM
pc ct also agreed to sell ten-pound
cakoi from the wagons. Mr.. Dawson
accepted the offer of the ice compan-
les and is satisfied that they have met
the complaints of the patrons who
first filed charges in his office in re-
gard to the price of ice.
When the companies decided not to
sell any more ice from the wagons ex-
cept by coupons where was murmur-
ing among the patrons Then the
raise in the price of the ten pound
cakes was doubtless a hardship on
poor people. The attorney generals
action in reaching an agreement with
the companies whereby the price is
lowered at once appears to be more
satisfactory than a lawsuit. The fol-
lowing are the articles of agreement
made between the attorneys for the ice
company and the attorney for the
people:
F'irst-The ice companies will re-
duce the price of ten-pound deliv-
cries from rs cents to so cents per
hundred pounds.
Second-The ten-pound deliveries
Will be in reality Il IL pound denver
les, as a 100-pound cake of ice will
be cut into eight pieces.
Third-The companies will main
tain places at convenient points where
ice may be bought in small quaint
ties
Fourth-The companies will not in
| crease the price of ice during the sea-
son.
Fifth-The companies will pay all
| the costs that have been incurred in
the investigation.

scented the ice companies in the in

BIDS FOR new SCHOOL
Will Be Received at Once-Opening
Date September IL.

Two important steps taken by the
board of education in adjourned ses-
sion Monday night were the authorizing
of the clerk to advertise for bids for
the construction of additions to the
State street and Monroe school build
ing and setting the date for the open
ing of the city schools Tuesday, Sep
TENDER H.
The addition to the school buildings
Will be erected at an estimated aggre-
gate cost of $4,000, the maximum
amount allowed for the State street
school being $4,000, and that for the
Monroe school $4,000.
There was considerable argument in
respect to proposed changes in the
plans which L. NJ. Wood, the architect,
had originally drawn up, but they were
finally adopted. George H. Smith made
a strong plea for the East siders. 1--WE
deserve as good a building down there
said he, "as the colored children de-
serve who go to the Washington school,
and the children in the part of town
where the lawyers and doctors live"
The important change in the plans
was the enlargement of the addition so
as to make the four class rooms 23x32
feet in size instead of 23x30 feet. This
it was pointed out by Superintendent
L. D. Whittemore would allow for bet
ter ventilation and the accommodation
of more pupils.
1t was his opinion that in the next
few years the population in the vicinity
of the State street school would be-
come considerably more dense and if
adequate accommodations were not ar
ranged for at this time it would not be
long before another addition to the
school would be imperative.
The addition will contain two spec
ial basement rooms, four recitation
rooms, a principals office and a rest
room. The material used in the exter-
Tor construction will be brick to con-
form to the old portion of the build
ing. The roof over the present building
will be removed and a new roof built
over the entire structure. The roof will
be of tin
The salvage from the old Banner
building will be sold to the contractor
who is the lucky bidder on the work
of erecting the addition and this will
considerably lessen the cost of con-
struction.
The new Monroe school addition will
be 32X52 feet in size and will comprise
a class room and principals Office on
the first floor and large study room,
with platform at one end on the sec
ond floor. The toilet rooms will be To-
Gated in the new portion of the base
ment as will likely the heating system
for the building. John F. Stanton is
the architect. Plans and specifications
put in the hands of the contractors by
Thursday of this week.
Lewis and Kitchen will put in dry
closets in the Branner and Lafayette
schools at a cost of $3,4S8. This firm
put in the lowest bid.
AS to the opening date of school it
was first proposed that the schools
open Tuesday, September 10, and then
the suggestion was made that this was
