DIVISION OF SENATORS.

In recent issue OF the Phoenix
Sun there was published a strong
editorial favoring a division of the
United States senatorships, between
the northern and sou hern sections
of the state The reasons for such
a division are manifold The north
ern end should have senator to rep
resent those business interests that
are more largely found in the north
than in the south
The wool-growers, the foresters and
lumbermen, and stockmen, not to men
ton the great mining interests, in
the north have special reasons for
wanting a man familiar with their
affairs present in the senate.
While the southern part of the
state is the most populous, it's inter.
ests varied, yet all the people and
their affairs can be fairly represented
by single senator.
The Sun says that the more one
thinks of cOnditins in Arizona thl
more this proposition of electine
northern and southern senators will
appeal to him.

A FERViD PRAYE r.

Last Sunday cOlOred preacher
who is noted for his rugged elo
quence, was requested to pray for
rain, in a southern county. Being
of an accommodating disposition, he
readily consented and offered up a
petition that was fervid, varigated
and unique. He said in part:
''Thou knowest, oh Lord that we is
havin' de wust drought heah that you
even saw. De craps is all dryin' up
de watah millions is wilted on de
vines, sweet Eaters is about all killed
de streams is about stopped runnin'
an famine is about to bust forth
in all its fury. De whole Ian is az
dry as an Ornery, uncOnverted mig
gah in a prohibition town, an some
thin rally must be done or thy ser.
wants will all perish.
Now what we need is good
soakin' rain, an we implore thee to
heah our prayers an turn de flood
gates OF heaven loose. DE time has
gone by when de gentle dew will do
any good. We don't want no gentle
showers wild raiinbOws an twitterin
birds, nor any sizzly-sOZzly sprink-
les, but We wants regular rip
snortin', roarin. scramin', sod-soak-
in, gully-washin', gravel-heavin',
trash-mOvin', rOOt-searchin', down
pOurin' rain.
Den, oh Lawd, let de thundeh
heller, let de lightnin' flash, let de
clouds bust an SEN us a rain dat
will soak de grOun cleah down to
de bowels of de airth and cause
springs to bus forth in all de valleys
an make de desert bloom as de
rose"

BOUSE MAN SUICIDES.

BOUSE, Ariz, Oct 3.-John Burge
in charge of the Arizona and Califor
mia pumping station at this place
committed suicide early Monday morn
ing by blowing out his brains
with shot gun. .
Burge was well known and well
liked and as far as could be learned
was In the best of spirits and the
best of health. He was 20 years OF
age.
That the deed was premeditated
and carefully planned is shown by
the story told by his 17-year-old
brother who was living with him
The boy stated that Sunday evening
they retired about 8 o'clock and that
John kissed him good night and told
him that il ne heard the report c.
the sho gun not to get up or bother
about it, Just after | O'Clock in the
morning the boy heard the report
and jumped out of bed to find his
brother lying on the floor with a
CHASTITY wound in his right temple.
He instantly ran for help and when
the first persons reached the place
the man was dead. Death was
instantaneous.

handful of flesh from his anatomy
and running 81 pair of pants. The
old COW took advantage of the gap
in the fence and got into the corn
field and killed herself eating green
corn.
Hearing the racket, the wife ran,
upset a four gallon churn full of rich
cream into a basket of kittens,
drowning the entire litter. In the
hurry she dropped $25 set of false
teeth. The baby, left alone. crawled
through the spilled milk and into the
parlor, running a brand new 500 car

During the excitement the eldest
daughter ran away with the hired
man, the dog broke up eleven set
ting hens, and the calves got out and
chewed the tails off four fine shirts.

Judge Wells of Prescott has been
prevailed upon to make the race
against Geo. U. Young for the re-
publican nomination for governor.
The republicans are making a grave
mistake in getting Judge Wells to
enter the race. Geo. u. Young is the
only hope of the republican party for
governor, but it appears that his
progressive views are not endorsed
by the party leaders. However, it
will be found that Young will roll up
big vote at the primary. and secure
the nomination with ease. In the
event of his nomination politics will
be forgotten by thousands OF demo
Gratis, who want chance to vote
for Young for governor

STEALING pARKER,s THUNDER.

1t makes no difference who steals
your thunder-it's your lightning that
does the business, remarks d modern
sage. This is quite applicable to the
promoters who are selling off the
townsite of Calzona at so much per
lot to that class of investors who are
lot line offered them without first
investigating the merits of the propo-
sition.
In it's literature and newspaper
write-up the Calzona townsite promo
tiers have annexed the Colorado River
reservation to CalZOna, and that vast
tract of agricultural land lying ada
cent to Parker and extending for for
ty miles along the Arizona side of
the Colorado river, is now known
as "Calzona Valley" Late maps de-
pict Calzona at the rivers edge, in
side the reservation lines, while as a
matter of fact it is situated about one
mile from the river, and is entirely
off the reservation.
The literature being set broad
cast by the promoters of the town
site aim to show that the trade of
the reservation will be diverted to
Calzona By so doing it would be nee
esSary to cross the river by ferry,
which during the high water sea-
son would be imperative. Instead of
driving over good roads to Parker,
the natural supply and distributing
point, the gullible public is lead to
believe that the ranchers would
cross the Colorado river and navigate
the almost inaccessible route from
the river bank to Calzona to do their
trading, shipping and banking in
another county and state.
When the Parker valley becomes
settled there will be a branch rail
Parker. This railroad would. draw it's
business from about $3.50 4O-acre
farm units, and a population in the
valley numbering over $1,000 people.
The promoters of the Calzona town
site know this to be a fact, and
they further know that it would be
utter folly for the farmers to cross
the river to do business at Calzona
when Parker is practically as close,
and situated on the same side of the
river
Last week two men from Long
Beach were out to investigate the
CalzOna proposition as represented to
them by the selling agents of the
company. They departed with the
avowed intention of making the
promoters come through with the
money they have already paid them
or face criminal proceedings.
The Misrepresentation being made
by the company are working a serious
injury to the town of Calzona
The Post never misses an OppOrtu-
nifty to say a good word for Calico
ma, as it possesses certain resources
tina are bound to make of it a pros
perou title town. However, gross
xaggeratiOns on the part of real
estate sharks never did help town to
grow, but on the contrary it Oft
times irreparably injuries the COM
munity's chances for becoming a
good town.
The things claimed by the promo
tiers of the CalZona townsite do not
hurt Parker in the least In fact,
they are looked upon as ludicrous
by the people here, who wonder how
the authorities stand for such graft.
We do not feel particularly sorry
for those who are being stung.
They must learn by experience that
it is folly to buy a pig in the poke.
