AR|zON|AN
 BOUGHT BY MEYER

Samuel A. Meyer who for the past year has been editor of the Chand- Ter Arizonan. has purchased that paper from the Chandler Improve ment company, and beginning with March 1st will run the paper on his own account. It is unnecessary to say to any one who has seen a copy of his paper that MT. Meyer is an editor of unusual ability. He brings to the Arizonan the benefit of thor ough metropolitan training, and
 there is nothing amateurish and
 nothing of the country crossroads style in the way he puts out a page of news. It is not flattery but a plain statement of fact to say that lso good weekly newspaper issued from a suburban town of the size of

PETT|COAT MADE BY 5OO
 GIRLS FOR MISS WILSON
Factory Workers Here Will Take Gift to White
 House Today

The girls of the D. F. Sicher white goods factory at 45 West Twenty first street have finished a hand em broidered linen petticoat for Miss Jessie Woodrow Wilson and a dele gation of three will offer It to her today. Miss Wilson, who has visited the factory, has made an appointment to receive them and their gift at the White House at G o'clock
 There are 800 girls in the factory. and a general movement WAS started some time ago to make Miss Wilson a suitable gift. A petticoat was de cided on and each of the girls has had some part in it's making. It is hand made throughout. embroidered in white with garland of roses. an American eagle and flag bearing the initials J. w. s.
 The delegates who have been elect ed to take the gift to Washington are Miss Maggie Rickers, instructor; Miss Beckie Kronfeld, head presser, and Mrs. C. c. Hill, social service direc- tor. They will leave with the pres ent at noon. The skirt is to be pack ed in a satin covered box with a bunch of lilies of the valley tied on with ribbon.
 The D. E. Sicher factory has been of interest to Miss Wilson because of it's social service policy. It is the first factory of it's sort in New York where the Board of Education sends teachers to instruct daily classes and where the girls get regular wages while attending classes.

The editorial caused surprise in DO

SUNDAY AT PANAMA
Extract from Pilgrimage of Shriners
to Panama by Past POtentate
julius A. Schmahl

The following description is short
extract from a long and interesting
account of the pilgrimage made by
Osman Temple to Panama, and the
doings Of the pilgrims. The Gazette
is indebted to Mr.. Schmahl for copies
of The Crescent containing full and
complete account.
Sunday morning special sight-see-
ing train left Panama station, cover
ing the Pacific and Central divisions
to Matachin, going by the Mirafores
and Pedro Miguel locks, and down
through the Culebra cut, and return
ing over the old line to Panama. The
feature of this trip was the igniting
of twenty tons of dynamite planted
under a huge dam that was holding
back the waters of the Pacific from
the Mirafores locks. The time set
for the blowing up of this dam was
$50 o'clock. Just before that time
the special train had been pulled in
and placed where the occupants could
be given perfect view, without in
juring any one. Long before that
time nearly everybody in the Zone had
reached the ground to witness the
sight. Thirty seconds before the spark

bringing in the cows at night from

to death, Sandy is on the job. He
guards the sheep, minds the pigs,
helps with the chores and does many
stunts that would turn some of these
trick dogs at the circus green with
envy.
If Sandy could talk he'd probably
tell lot of these city dogs how
foolish they are to stay in town
where they are either always in
trouble with the police and citizens
or are milady's pets with ribbons
around their necks.

ENCOURAGEMENT FOR MURDER

The failure Of the Schmidt jury, af-
ter thirty-two hours Of wrangling, to
convict of murder man penned in by
such a stockade of facts shakes pub
lie faith once more in the efficacy of
New York justice. But this time, in
contradiction to popular clamor, it re-
fleets upon the ability of the people
themselves disclosed by twelve
jurors, a reasonable average of voters
to supervise this justice.
The insanity defence for murder is
becoming almost insufferable in Amer
lea. If man finds living hard and
wishes to be treated with tender So
licitude and board for the rest of his
life on the State, all he has to do is to
go out and kill some one. When
where's this to stop? Who is there
with murder in his heart who need
fear inconvenience if he can only think
up few odd gestures or grotesque
phrases before and after the commits
the act?
Surely the shrewdness of the aver
age citizen of this town must be dis
credited by the fact that jurors were
found who could stand out against the
conviction of criminal like Schmidt
or fail to perceive that murderer of
his demonstrated cunning would also
be ingenious enough to vary the shop
worn insanity defence by disputing it
in such fashion as to increase it's
force.-New York Sun.

Is ResourcefuI Too
Another time after a strenuous day
of corn husking, Sandy's master reach
ed the house but suddenly remembered
that he had forgotten his coat in the
field. "Go back and get the coat San
dy" was the command and away the
dog went like flash. Wondering if
it could be possible that he understood,
Gilbert decided to follow He saw him
go directly to the spot where the gar
ment was lying and pick it up, but the
problem Of carrying it was more per-
picking than he anticipated, for con-
tinually stepping on the part Of the
coat that dragged caused him to STUN

slow Roadway, he dropped the coat
then pushed it over and over with his
nose until it formed more compact

in his teeth again and was off to the
house in jiffy.

Boston Firenen
Prefer the Buick
Purchases Sixteen New Cars Out
right in Preference to Purchas-
ing From Lowest Bidder

Looking towards standardizing the
entire department with one make of
motor car, Fire Commissioner Cole
of Boston has purchased sixteen au-
tomobiles without advertising for bids,
This will make a total of 25 Bucks

vice.
In asking Mayor Fitzgerald for
permission to make this big purchase
at private sale instead Of by public
bids, Commissioner Cole said that in
his opinion it was altogether prob
able that the lowest bid was not
likely to be the best machine for the
department.
"Anybody can see the advantage
of our having only one make of car, y
says Mr.. Cole. Suppose driver is
transferred. He has the same kind
of a car to take care Of. And besides
it centralizes, simplifies, and there
fore economies on service.

it is far from simple when one comes

Bendixen Rates Make Trouble
Mr.. Staples said of the Bendixen
2-cent rates that were filed today in
full, that the fact that the railroads
followed the law which provides 2
cents mile for all distances in ex-
cess of five miles, has had an effect
that, while not serious in itself, pres
ents another small knot to be united.

DOES EVERYTHING BUT TALK
(By Ed. Barensfeld.)

'If you are dog of any sense, you
will pick yourself out a good sort
of master and stick to him. These
dogs that are always adopting one
master after another get bad name
among the humans, in the end. And
you'd better keep in with the humans,
especially the grown up ones. Get
ting your meals regularly three times
day off plate at the kitchen door,
beats hunting rabbits and ground
squirrels for living"
This is probably the sort Of soliloquy
that Sandy would voice if he could
talk. Sandy the four year old shepard
dog who lives with Gilbert McDougal
on his farm near Delhi. Of course
Sandy can't talk, but he sure can
do things that amount to more. He
knows that talk is cheap and plenti-
full anyway, so he just minds his own
business and helps his master do heaps
of things around the farm
Expert Mail Carrier
For instance, when Mrs. VIM. Par
ker comes along the route each day
with the mail, Sandy is watching.
When he sees the familiar vehicle ap-
preaching he takes little basket firm
ly in his teeth and goes bounding
down to the road on the jump for the
mail. Upon returning to the house
he lays the basket with it's contents
at the feet of Gilbert's Mother, and
then stands respectfully near await
ing her orders. If there is a letter
for Gilbert, and he is out in the field
she gives it to Sandy and tells E;m
to be off with it to his master.

FLED FROM THE BAD SMELLS
Indian Had Enough of New York in a
Few Days, and Returned to
Montana

> In the course Of his duties as pur-
veyor of publicity for northwestern
railroad, Hoke Smith not long ago
brought an Indian from Glacier park,
Montana, to New York Smith want
ed to know just what he thought Of
the town.
"Heap bad SMELLS" said the Indian.
"Why boil UNI black stuff in horse
kettle?"
Smith explained flat was tar for
fixing the street. The Indian object
ed to the perfume the dear ladies use.
"Smell UNI like heap drug store" said
the untutored savage. Men complicat-
ed tobacco, whisky and soap smells to
his distaste. All hotels reminded him
Of yesterdays meals. The theaters
smelled ''like old blankets-heap long
time under bed" The street cars car
ried the scent Of "many memo wa
ter long time" The burned gasoline
from automobiles and the sickly odor
from candy shop doors and gusts of
dead air from the subway kiosks, and
now and then sewer gas where the an
reelection diggers are tearing into
street surfaces Disguised him.
Indian must go home," said he.
"New York too many smells-all bad.
Make nose heap sick"
And there was no compromise,
Smith had to take him back to Glacier
park.

that Senator eastman Of that city was
severely injured and had narrow es-
cape from death while assisting in
loading a blooded bull at the Rock Is
land platform. The animal made a
plunge at Mr.. eastman, who quickly
lodged, but at the same time the ami
NAL turned sharply and struck Mr..
eastman with its hind quarters,
throwing him against a box car on
a slowly moving train. He fell be-
tween the car and the platform. The
train was quickly stopped and Mr..
eastman was promptly rescued from
his perilous position. He suffered a
badly sprained knee and few minor
bruises, but was fortunate in escap-
ing with his life.

was sent across the wire to ignite the
dynamite the whistles commenced to
blow, as if in alarm to the spectators
to look out. Then the button was
touched, the spark was sent. The
ground for half mile around, and
practically that on which the train
stood, seemed to raisee. There. was
a terrific noice. Dirt was hurled hun
dreds of feet into the air, and, amid
smoke and fire, the waters on either
side Of the destroyed barrier receded,
then swelled, and made mad attack
at the base. The charge had accom-
plished it's purpose. At IL o'clock the
high tide of the Pacific pressed for
ward it's waters, and the opening was
complete, and the waters of the Pa
cific rushed on to the locks of Mira
flores, where they were held back from
further progress by the gigantic gates
of that wonderful structure. Steam
shovels were set at work cleaning un
the remaining banks on either side Of
the barrier.
At the close Of this magnificent
spectacle the train proceeded on, and
the occupants were shown and told of
the work of cutting deep through the
backbone of the country, of the slides,
and of the cost of removing this ex-
ira dirt, of the machines that had been
buried by the slides, and what might
be expected in the future. All in all,
no person who went on that trip, will
ever regret his having been there, and
until the close Of the time of each it
will be ver-to-be-forgotten Sun
day."
