AN IMAGINARY TRIP IN AN AIR
SHIP.

The last week OF our spring school
in 1908, several OF my school friends
and l were trying to decide where to
go to spend our summer vacation.
The summer before we had taken a
trip to the mountains and although we
enjoyed it very much we would like
something different this time. At last
we decided to take trip in an air
ship. We were very busy the next two
weeks getting ready to go. It was hard
to get any one to take us, but at last
we found the right person and we
were so anxious to go that we could
hardly wait until the time came for us
to start.
We started from here July Is at 8: go,
a. m. We had not gone very far when
something broke and we started down
again but not the way we would like
to have gone. At last we found out
what was broke, fixed 1t and started
again. 1t was very exciting and some
yet
We we're not certain where he were
going but thought we would stop when
we got tired.
It seemed very strange to be SC
high up and flying around with the
birds. The things below US looked
very funny too They were SO far
away. When we got to Des Moines
we were SO tired that we thought we
would stop there. We telegraphed to
our friends at home that we were well
and having good time. We stayed
in Des Moines three days. We went
up in the capitol in an elevator
We reached home safe and sound
July Is and we were all glad that We
had decided to take trip In an air
ship.

family He was the, child of Thomas

the Black Hawk, war broke out he was
ready to fight. He set the slaves free
in 1863 He was the first martyred
president. He was shot by; John Wilkes
Booth and died few hours later.
James Abraham Garfield was the
second martyred president. The first
Garfield who came to this land was
Edward Garfield, who made home
near WatertoWn, Mass, When the
war for independence broke out, James
stood with gun in hand at Concord
Bridge, at sunrise on the morning OF
April 10, 1875. He was born in 1881.
In 1853 Garfield was welded to Miss
Rudolph whom heS had known for q
long time. One day four months
after being elected president he and
his friend Mr.. Blaine were ready to go
on q short trip and went into the
depot at Washington, when shot
rang out. Another followed and the
president sank to the floor. He was
taken to Elberon, N. j., where he DIRE"
his last breath. Sept. 10, 1881.
William Mckinley was the third
.martyred president. He was born
January 20, 1S43, at Niles, Ohio. He
was the son of William and Nancy Nc.
Kinley. He was the twenty NTH presi-
dent Of the United States. When the
war broke out in 1851 young Mckinley
gave up his work and went with the
trops to the seat OF war. When peace

and took up Jaw. In 1869 he was mar.
ried to Miss Ida Saxton of the same
town. In 1887 this bright young man
was sent to congress. In 1891 he was
the governor of Ohio.
On March 4, 1898 President NC
Kinley took his seat at the head OF;
the land. The trust in William NC
Knley was such that the whole north,
east, south and west said, HE knows
what to do I'VE will do what he
asks us to.
On Sept. S, 1901, President and Mrs.
Mckinley were at the exposition at
Buffalo. While he stood with q smile
on his face with kind words on his
lips for both rich and poor, . bad man
shot him. At first 1t was thought that
the president would live, but in q week
he knew his end was near. 90 he SAID
farewell to his wife and friends and
then in faint voice gave few words
of the hymn Nearer Ny God to Thee"
Before the next morning. Sept. -,
came, the pure, great soul Of William
Mckinley had gone TO the Home OF
the BEST" News Of the death brought
a deep grief to the whole land.

Colonel Pickett
 Returns Home

Colonel II. L. Pickett returned home from Washington, D. C., on the noon train yesterday, where he went about month ago, principally 10 ad vocste the sgprovsl of Arizona con stitution by Congress, and incident ally to put to death the bill drawn up and pushed by the Washington representatives O! Bisbee. Douglas req estate spectators to remove the Co chise county seat. That his trip was a successful one, without any doubts, fair idea may be formed by reading the hundreds of press comments sp. p,tring in the leading eastern news papers and the many interviews pub
 lished in the Washington papers. Colonel Pickett was ono of the first
 men who volunteered to go to Wssh- ington. paying his own expenses, and
 urge the inn ediate approval of Ari- zona's progressive constitution. The uciSsat.Ob o' h1IIobn pl''b'ASIil
 men of which the Colonel WAS lead- ing member and spokesman, attracted much attention and publicity from the day it left Arizona un,il now.
 The committee was received ty President Taft at the White House, and given most cordial welcome the President giving every possible indication of his approval of Arizona statehood.
 Colonel Pickett wss one of the busiest men during his stay in the National Capital. He had personal interviews with msny of the Senators and Congressmen regarding the ap proval of the constitution at the extra session of Congress next month, re. ceiving many assurances of support and much encouragement. The Col onel is confident that the President and Congress will give Arizona inn mediate statehood and ssys that he has every reason to believe the con- stitution will he approved in April He says the worst enemies of Arizona statehood are here in the territory.
 In speaking of the attempt to put bill through Congress removing the county seat of Cochise county, the | Colouel said the bill met it's death blow on the next day after his arrival in Washington. After Colonel Pick cit had been heard by the Senate Sub Com mmittee the pet scheme of real estate spectators wac crushed, never to revive again.
 The Colonel took every possible opportunity to boost the resources Of resulting in s spread Of wide publicity sin the east. Tom bstone and Cochise county were always menr tioned with every Arizona boost.
 The Colonel returned to Tombstone 'eeling in good spirits and glad to get pack home.
 To addition It might be said that the colonel's chances for the senatorial oga have improved fifty per cent turing the past thirty days. He is nwing wood and making friends.

Final Payment Made
 On Port Lobes Road

The final payment on the purchase ot the Port Lobos railroad right of way from SsscO t. Port Lobos, which F. NJ. Murphy, president of the De- velopment Company of America, bought from W. H. Thomson and his associates for Sl00,0O0, has been deposited in the Phoenix National bank. A telegram spprising MT. Thomson of that fact has just been received by him from an assistant of MT. Murphy.
 The papers conveying full title to the right of way will now be deposited in the Phoenix National bank in the process of final conveyance of the property to the Development Com. pany of America, and the transfer will te complete.
 The payment of the right of way has been effected in four payments of S25 900 each, The last payment, which has just been forwarded, was due sMsrch 1st, and was probably banked on that date.
 The Tucson Star says it is MT. Thomson's opinion that the Develop. ment Company of America, and ss- Mr. Murphy, has westhered the financial storm. and that the building of the Port Lobos road can only be delayed by MT, Murphy's iii health and the present unsettled con- iition in Mexico.

It took hard work and patience fifty years ago to locate the right road to suecess-th the same require ments are still in vogue. The young man who. begins at the bottom of the ladder, and does his work we'll and will . ingly, and with stick-to- itive- ness is bound to reach the top..ot his coveted goal--the ladder of success.
