Pretty soon the day will be here when Douglas Islaad will be asked to buy tags. These tags are to be sold for the benefit of Mayflower Island. They will be one dollar each. It is really a nice thing to De able to say that every man, womaa and child on the Island can afford to buy one of these tags. By this we mean that there axe no people living on the Island who are really af Aicted by poverty. And then we also mean that the dollar wilh be we'll in- vested, Never was there a nicer spot for park thaa Mayhower island. If you doubt this statement jast visit the island some nice day, and you will find that there che sky is brig hter, the sun shine is warmer and the grass is greeuer than any other spot. It is g. blessing from the gjver of all good gifts for the people of this Island. \ little island where tbe miner, breathing aik day the powder smoke and foul gases of the mine, may escape for an hour into an atmosphere charged with only the purest air; 8 place where the tired housewife may take the children-no danger from hoaIs-and enjoy the sun shine aud fUwers;- in fact, where every body may get away from work and care 50 enjoy the beauties of nature.
 MayfoweE island does not belong to the town of DouGlas. Phe council has not speut oue Ueul Uf city money ou it.. It belongs to the people of Douglas Lsland-all of them. By voluntary sub- scription they have paid for all the work that has been done. A large part of the money subscribed came from business men. Tag Day offers an opportunity for each and every one to help little and to show their interest in practical manner. So when you are asked to buy tag on June 3rd, don't turn away from it, but buy one, tie it in your button hole, aud thus eu courage others to do likewise.

Baseball

The first game of the annual series played by the baseball teams of Doug las Island and Juneau took place on the Douglas 6eld Sunday. Each year when the roar of the Taku wind begins to abate and the hope of summer is re, vived again. the baseball players gather first around the stoves iu cigar stores, and later in halls or offices to. arrange for team for the season and bo devise schemes to raise the necessary fuuds. By the time the snow is oF the streets the balls and gloves come forth and the prospective players begin to timber up their arm and 6gure on their chances to make the team" By the time the grounds are dry enough to play all the "fans'' are filled with excitement-and almost everyone on the shores of Gas. tineau is fan. So Sunday, the day an- nouueed for the first game, saw a fine crowd gather at the Douglas park, al- though the day was cold and rain threatened.
 The Juneau team appeared on the feld in brand new suits, across the breast oE each was the name of the brand of cigars, known as "Del Pueute." !" Some wag immediately dubbed them as "The Wooden Indians" The Doug las team is not so fortunate as to new suits, bat we thinB all of them have fresh socks this year.
 We'll, the game was called about two o'clock by Umpire, John Stoft. Juneau was first to bat, and it made us all feel about year younger to hear the famil. far voice of Capt. Dolly Gray sing out, aCoom, now" The first batter up for Juneau was aurlbut. The first ball pitched by Cham bers sailed toward the plate and Hprlbut bent his back and swatted it an awful swat. It went through Shortstop and center field and. when the excitement Quieted down Hurlbut was on second. He got to third on wild pitch and scored on an error, making not only the first run of the season, but the only one that day for Juneau Manners, first man at bat for Douglas, also scored in the first inning, and the battle was on.

 The university has aimed in the catalogue to make t plaic. not onls to the subject oa ,he srounc but fo anybody who migh. be interested in the institution, keeping it as clear as may be from tec7rscaiities and ob- scu-e statements.
 About 200 students have been in at tendance during the year. a number N which might be increased without , much difficulty If only the territory were informed how many gre the ad santages Of the university There are few colleges which give so much for so little cost. An Arizona student may spend 3 year al the university for not more than s2z5 to t25o for all uni sersity charges, including board and room. While in many eastern col Ieges rooms cost from $50 a year to $500, they cost in Tucson at the uni sity only $25. Board, which Is much higher for other people in the south west, costs no more for students of the university than in rrany of the col ieges Of the middle west, or SIS a month
 The university is already pressed for dormitory space and the first of the new buildings asked for is a nod ern dormitory for young women. Other buildings mentioned as desirable are for mining. fer metall1rgy, an audItay- ium housing also the museum and the armo-y and a students clubhouse.

VIRGIL HAYES SAYS
 OWEN SHOT INDIAN
Innocent Man in Prison for Crime Will Be Released
 At Once

Virgil Hayes. tho eighteen year old son of a wealthy rancher near Globe, who was implicated in the murder Of Rex Chiquita by the confession of his alleged aecompliee. Frank Owen, also of Globe, was arrested last Wednesday evening in Los Angeles, almost at the same instant that his companion in crime stepped from the train in Globe under the custody of an officer If the confession of Hayes. which has not yet been gained, corroborates that made by owen to Deputy Sheriff Frank Haynes last Thursday, it is proable that the release of Harry Jose. the Indian who is now in the peni- tentiary serving sentence for the crime of which he was convicted on circumstantial evidence, will immed- lately follow.
 The burden Of his conscience prov ed too heavy for owens to bear and the Knowledge of his participation in the crime finally forced him to a con fession. Unable to repress the inner voice that condemned him for allow ing another man to pay the penalty for crime for which he and his friend Hayes were guilty, he made a clean breast of the part he and Hayes had taken in the tragedy. By Owens confession it apears that Hayes shot Chiquita to save his. Ow- ems life. Owens statement Of the af- fair follows:
 Virgil Hayes rode up ani asked me to come to town with him. telling me that he had a giin 10 sell told lf hnF q ola k-I III asked him l could ride. He said e get on the horse with him.

He went with us to look at the sun. Virgil showed him his gun and Ryan said to wait and if he could get the g. he would buy u- He was sn 9 buggy and went away When he came back l.e sa'o Hs could not get the money and lid not take the gun.
 We started back to camp Al the railroad crossing we could hear. the Indians and I told ViTg,i they were drunk. Virgil said let's get the guns out We did and rode on until we met them. Virgil said tn the rail In- dian; Whats the matter? Are you drunkY
 "'Yes. Drunk mucho. sad the h. dian.
 We will report 1t 70 the sleiifg, said Virgil.
 He turned the horse ic town ana just then the drunken Ind tn ran t3 us. saying, Give me one, give he one.
 He caught me by the arm and took hold Of my gun n.d pulled re from the horse. 7 fell Jn u, righ. shoulder. It hurt me yreuv Dat | got ID and the Indian had my gun by he barrel and had the stock.
