Congress has settled down to
the second stage of what prom
ises to be the longest continuous
session in it's history, the regular
December session following with
out break the long extra session
which has run since April Z. 1t
has brought to the tired lawma-

the prospect of steady work OF
many months. Little formality
ushered in the new congress at
noon. It's advent was signalized
by the fall of the gavel in each
house and the announcement OF
the presiding officer that the sec
o1d session OF oiNty-tfIird cum

of the impetus that has recently
been given to agricultural educa-

two years ending March, 1912,
the number of institutions Civ

MURDER STATISTICS

Human life is a cheap COM
modify in the United States as
compared with other countries,
according to statistics recently
published. The record of muir
ders in this country during 1912
shows that in thirty large cities
there were 81 homicides for
each 100000 population, which
is a slight decrease from the
1907 record in the same cities of
8.8.
Strange as it may appear, New
York City, which has had such
an enviable reputation of late
with its gunmen and assissins,
does not hold the record, which
one might conclude it would.
To Memphis, Tenn, falls that
undesirable position. In that
city 64.3 murders were commit
ed to every 100000 inhabitants,
while New York only shows up
with Sc of every 100, 900 being
murdered.
This goes to show that muir
ders are not more common IN
cities containing large proper
ton of it's population of foreign
ers, as has been commonly sup
posed. The percentage of for
eigners in New York is very
much greater than in Memphis.
The United States as a whole
has not a very savory reputation
as compared with other coun-
tries. With a record here of 5.9
murders for every 100000 popu-
lation, England has only 1.O1.
Italy 3.9 and Prussia 2.81.
Sure and certain capital pun
ishment in England without de-
lay as the penalty for premedi-
tated murder has served the
purpose for which it was intend
ed, according to the statistics.

Although the new ee-trade
clause in wool became effective on
the first day of this month, there
was hardly ripple in the wool
market. Of course, the inaugu-
ration Of the new tariff was fol-
lowed by rush of Withdrawals of
wool that had been held in bond,
but this was discounted long ago.
The worlds production of wool is
far from heavy, considering the
millions of consumers. Sheep

Provisional President Huerta
is said to be putting a system OF
forced loans" in effect to OBJ
tain funds with which to main
tain his tottering regime in pow
er. In fact, every device possi-
BILE for raising money is being
employed. Some time ago the
Huerta cabinet decided upon a
tax of eight cents per kilogram,
which is equal to 2,046 pounds,
on the production of cotton in
the districts under it's control.
This is over three cents per pound.
or about one-fourth of the re-
turns of Mexican growers from
their product. This tax is a
heavy load on Mexican producers.
The cost of producing cotton in
the United States is estimated at
about eight cents per pound, and
it is not improbable that the ex-
pense in Mexico is as large. AS
the selling price is around 13
cents, there is not much left for
the Mexican grower after the
Huerta tax is paid. Little is
heard of the taxes being imposed
on other producers, but Huerta
is probably getting every cent
possible out of them. In addi-
ton, the Huerta government is
doubtless crippling the agricul-
tural industry of his country by
conscriptions. The armies, as
usual in times of war, are also
plundering the homes and fields
of farms which they pass. With
the banking business almost par
allied and with traffic impossible
in many portions of the country,
the farmers of Mexico are surely
in an unenviable position.

Lands to Be Divided
Among Individuals

All the land held by what was
known as the Mormon Colonial
tion company IN Sonora and Chi
huahua, are being transferred to
individual Mormon owners who
have vested rights in the company
which means that the Mormon
colonies of Morales, in Sonora,
and Oajaca, in Chihuahua, are to
be abandoned by the organization
as a company, which spent years
building them into fine farms,
homes and villages.
This fact became known when
A. w. Ivans, apostle and attorney
in fact for the Mormon colonies
named, with an attorney in Doug
las, Arizona, filed papers which
will eventually transfer the lands
of the colonization company to
the Pelpito Land and Cattle COM
pany, which in turn will transfer
the same to Mormons as individ-
uals as their equities may appear.
Heretofore the lands were held
in common by the colonies, ac-
cording to the regular rules of
colonization in such instances.
In the allotment of these lands
it is stated that Rafael Gabilondo
and some others will jointly re-
ceive a deed to $4,000 acres of
land in the Morales colony.
The Mormons, who for years
were happy and contented on
these lands, previous to the pres
ent revolution in Mexico, have
been scattered to the four winds,
as it were, by the calamity which
robed them of their homes. Now
all they can do is to accept what
ever may come to them as the re-
suit of the present arrangements
and go on with the battle of life
as best they may.

Historian Holds Views
Different From Forbes

That the name of Arizona is
derived from "Arizonac" mean
ing place of massacre or punish
ment, is the contention of Thomas
Edwin Parish, states historian.
Several days ago Prof. R. H.
Forbes of the University of Ari-
zona wrote Governor George Hunt
letter stating that he believed
Arizona to be derived from the
Papago words 'ari" and 'sonac"
meaning a small, never-failing
spring. Parish does not agree
with him.
In letter to the governor Mr..
Parish says:
"Samual Hughes, according to
Joseph Fish, claims that the
name Arizona is derived from
the two words 'ari' 'zonac', mean
ing the place of massacre or pun
ishment, the inference being that
the Indians had a tradition to the
effect that they were we'll pun

which contention is supported py
Elliott Coues in his work, On the
Trail of Spanish Pioneer, Gar
ces' Diary where, among a list
of missions is given the following
Saric, in charge of Padre Michael
Gestner and scene of the massa-
ere of November 20, 1751; Visitas;
Busani; Arizona, or Arizonas;
Aquimuri.
I'm regard to the authenticity
of this Mr.. Coues has to say:
Padre Jose Ortega was also a
Jesuit, but he is more particular
and painstaking in his history and
geography than most writer's of
that company in those days; dates
abound in his writing, in orderly
sequence and precision; so do
names of persons and places.
Barring theological bias, we can
take Ortega for prime authority
regarding the facts of Kino's
life"
In a supplementary letter Mr..
Parish draws attention to the fact
that a Pima.revolt commenced at
Saric in November, 1851, the first
outbreak resulting in the killing
of eighteen Spaniards who were
being entertained by tho Pfnaa
chief. Afterward that locality
was known as "Arizonac." !"

CHANGE IN MEDICAL VIEWS
Ideas That Were Held Sacred In the
Past Have Lately Been Radl.
cally Revised.

We are getting sound views on o
good many things with which We
have been going headlong in recent
years. remarks the indianapolis News.
The rage for operation In cases Of ap-
pendicitis is subsidlng. When the
discovery OF the germ theory and an
tiseptic treatment made possible OPP
erations that until then were impos-
sible, rage for operation in append
citis came in. Now It Is held that
operations for this afillctlon. which
used to be called inflammation Of the
bowels, shall not BIO employed except
In the last extremity. Similarly It is
now affirmed that the appendix is not
a useless obstruction. but has import
ant functions.
There begins now protest against
the fresh air fad that has had it's own
way these many years. Those that
have predicted that It was fad like
the blue glass" treatment for rheu'
matism and other ills which ragged
many years ago, feel like prophets. In
other days houses had blue grass
room just as in recent years they
have open air sleeping chambers"
added. And men and women used to
sit solemnly many hours a day when
chambers allowing the blue ray to
wander over their afflicted bodies.
Wonderful cures we're the result But
old rheumatism. like the cat, had the
habit of coming back. Now DR.. Dut'
ton. In the Medical Times. says the
profession has been carried away
with the fresh air fad. 1t Is import
ant, he says. to distinguish between
fresh air and pure air. The latter
contains ozone, which Is the vitalizing
principle of air and is free from par
ticles OF dust. But fresh air is likely
to be dust laden and moreover Is cold
and often impregnated with moisture
The dust Is not menace to healthy
people unless 1t carries germs. But
in the case Of tuberculosis and other
anemic Affections. 1t is a menace
Such cases suffer from the inability to
create heat. They require air that is
not only pure, but warm. To expose
them to cold, damp fresh" air, the
doctor says, is cruelty without benefit
The problem for such cases ia to pro
vide warm, dry. pure air with as much
exposure to the rays OF the sun as
possible.

The earnings of the penitentiary
amount to about $4,000 a month, and

The contracts cannot be renewed

few evenings since at a social func.

Harold, among them. Once having
met Eloise, he could never forget her
She had told him that she and her

Ralph was a comparative stranger in
Aylhi and did not entirely under
stand what 1t all meant He noticed,
however, very few English speaking

an uprising of natives in the near
neighborhood was the cause of this

attach any unusual importance to the
rumor.
