A Plea From the Almshouse


 q send a plea from the almshouse, for the most of us here are shut-ins In the true sense of the word. We are here just simply waiting for the ''black horses and for some of us it may prove a long wait Four of us are comparatively young men. hardly middle aged. with fair health out side of being permanently crippled through accidents, rheumatism, and paralysis. The majority of the inmates are old people, but for all of us 1t is a tiresome wait with nothing to do but look at the bare walls. I have heard 1t said that there are many people in the cities who own a graphophone who have grown tired of 1t and have --.em stored away in attics and closets to get them out of the road. I wonder if this may not catch the eye of some charitable person owning a machine who is tired of 1t and who would be willing to present it to such a place as this? we have absolutely nothing at all to occupy our minds and think sometimes that 1t Is only matter of time until we are all that way. Occa- sionally some one brings in a magazine, but 1t is seldom, and It makes one day lust like another for us. Sunday is no tlif- ferent from the rest Possibly you can not admit paupers to your Corner? If not. please pardon me for asking the favor WILL L. B." A well written letter which should re- quire no word of mine to carry the story straight to the hearts of readers. Can you imagine a more graphic picture of secluson from the active working, hopine world that is presented in this sketch of pauper life2 It stings me little that there should be doubt as to the n6lmis- sion of ''paupers" to our Circle. Let ,is take away the doubt as to the srspicion of a stigma that dishonors our Helping Hand club and our humanity by minitssr- ing. to the new members of our abund- anre. They are not crimiaals hut ''po-- manently crippled" Think what that means-and act out the impulse born of the reflection.

Water Transportation

The benefits of water transportation are necessarily restricted to territory con- tiguous to the waterways. In large part of the state of Alabama long dis tance transportation can be provided only by your railways. Your farms and factories are producing increasing quan- titles of vast variety of commodities in excess of your local demand, and your surplus products must be marketed in bother localities.
 Therefore. Nhile carrying forward the
 work of improving the country highways and supporting projects for the improve ment of the waterways we should not overlook the third element in our trans .8. ta.IOn sYstem-the railways. Even ! though our waterways and wagon roacs
 should be improved to the highest state of efficiency. We would fall far short of having an adequate transportation sys- | tenn without the railways. Our responsl- bility is, therefore, to advocate and sup port such federal and state policies as. while providing for regulation within it's proper field, will assure to our railways
 an opportunity to share in the progress of the country and so to strengthen their resources that they may be enabled to provide adequate facilities and properly

 Fought Game

The "" basket ball team exhibited championship form last night in its game with the strong University O.. Arizona team, winning handRy bl the score of 42 to Ii. The game wal not one-sided Lowevr, as the score appears to indicate. for the husky varsity men made the locals hustle every minute of the game.
 The game was swift and clean, de void of rough playing and was Wit messed by large and enthusiastic crowd. Bisbee's victory over the varsity team discounts the result of its game to be played with the Tue. son high school, as the university team won easily over the high school team. If the locals succeed in get ting a game with the Douglas Y. NJ. C.

 The "Y" team is being coached by Henry, who moulded the 1910 chap- pionship team. several members oi which are playing on the 1912 team The prospects for bringing the 1912 championship of the southwest iii clnding northern Mexico, to Bisbee again are bright.

MONDAY NJ HOLIDAY
 AS MANY NOW THINK

Monday. February 12. the anniyer. sary of Abraham Lincoln's birth. is not a holiday, as has been supposed by some. IL is a holiday in some Of the eastern, and middle west ern states but in Arizona the date is not distinguished and middle western states but in Ari- zona the date is not distinguished from any other on the calendar.
 As a consequence there will be no celebration Of the martyred presl- den.'S birth anniversary in Bisbee, though perhaps the significance of the day will be remembered more than the significance of some dates in American history that are observed formally.
 The postof1ce and the banks will remain open as usual and the schools will not adjourn for the day. The centenary Of l.incoln's birth. Febru- ary F, 1909. was made a holiday b. special enactment but the act applied only 10 that date This is probably the cause of the impression that Mon day will be a holiday.

DOUGLAS FINE NEW HICRSCHOOL FIRED
 BY AN |NCEND|ARY
Blaze Is Discovered Early and Loss Proves to
 Be Not Large
EVIDENCE IS CLEAR

Last evening a fire believed to have been of incendiary origin, was discovered in the beautiful new high school building in Douglas. It was fortunately discovered before it had gained great headway, and the loss is comparatively small, being esti- mated by Fire Chief Nemick al in the neighborhood Of S750.
 About S:3O last night fire was dis covered in the Douglas high school building, and an alarm brought the department speedily to the scene The westerly stairway was found to be burning, and prompt action of the department confined the damage largely to that point, the stairway be ing destroyed.
 lt was reported last night that the fire was certainly Of incendiary ori- gin, and that several unsuccessful at tempts had been made to fire the building. A waste basket in the reception room is said to have been placed on a Turkish rug and ig- nited. The rug failed to catch from this. It is also asserted that there are indications of attempts to fire the building. shown by three other spots on the rug. In addition to this, it is claimed an attempt was made by lighting papers in a desk drawer in the same room. The drawer had

 In a short time after the arrival Of the department, the building was reported out of danger, and within an hour the fire was entirely extiD

ANNUAL MEETING
 OF TAXPAYERS ID
 BE HELD MONDAY
Association Will Celebrate First Birthday and
 Tell of Work
REPORT INTERESTING

gt is now a little more than a year ago that the project Of forming an association Of the taxpayers of Co chise county was preached In this city and in Douglas. The advisabill- ty of such an organization. not to at tempt to obtain any special benefits or privileges for the members but for the mutual advantage of all tax DayoIs, won quick appreciation AS result, there was a meeting held in Douglas at which a tentative organi- zation was formed, and this was fol lowed by a meeting in Bisbee. From these meetings grew the Cochise County Taxpayers Association. It was not claimed, as is so often the case, that the affairs of the county were being wofully mismanaged, and there was nothing political in the or ganization. Its objects were to learn for the taxpayers just how the mon ies Of the county were beng eXpend- ed, how economes might be prac- ticed, how the best results might be obtained by such expenditures, and generally to keep a careful watch of the interests of all Of the taxpayers of Cochise county. Such was the in- cept!on of the Cochise County Tax payers association. To all parts of the county went the invitation to join, and that invitation was accepted in all section. and a strong, Influential organization was the result. That as sociation is now a year old. and the first annual meeting will be held in Douglas tomorrow night.
 The COchise County Taxpayers As sociation has worked quietly and has sought no publicity. From time to time meetings have been announced, either Of the association or of it's di- rectors, and brief accounts of what was done at those meetings have been published. Now at the annual meeting. a complete summary of the work that has been done will be pre- sented to the mebers. and they will discover how great and how import ant that work has been. This will be shown by the report of the secre- tary. winch is a full and complete synopsis. It will furnish interesting reading at the meeting.
 Recently Secretary J. x. Gains or the Taxpayers association, passed through Bisbee on his way to Doug las. He stated at that tme that he haa completed his report, and that the main difficulty he had was to keep down it's length. As a result, ne boiled down and slmmered down to get it into form that would not be too volumnious.
 It has been demonstrated effectual-
