MONUMENT TO MARK NEWLY FOUND CRAVE OF GEORGE WARREN
ELks WILL ERECT SUITABLE ME MORTAL IN eIsBEE CEMETERY
 TO FOUNDER OF DISTRICT.

In an inconspicuous part of the cemetery. little kept up, where most of the graves are occupied by Mexi- cans, party of Bisbee Elks who were looking over the burial places few months since. came upon a wooden headboard,. worm eaten and weather beaten, upon which they managed to decipher the carved letters e. W. and a date of death. Their curiosity was aroused and they investigated and
 earned that the battered old board marked the resting place of George Warren for whom this, the greatest copper mining section of the country Is named. 1t appeared to them that the memory of George Warren de- handed more conspicuous grave for all that was mortal Of him and that there should be a monument erected for him. Since then the matter has been discussed among the local Eiks but no action was taken until the Friday meeting when 1t was decided that steps should be taken looking to- the disinterment of the body, its rein terment in grave in a more prom inent location, and the erection of a suitable monument to mark his rest. ing place. A committee consisting of Joe Gray and sam lnge was appointed and the necessary expenses will Do raised by voluntary subscriptions tax en up among the Elks.
 The plans for the removal of the body of the man whose name this dis trict commemorates embrace the se' lection of grave close to the Elks burial plot so that it may be cared for and kept green by the sexton who has charge of the Elks ground, the putting in of a curbing and the cree ton of a unique monument. Lis monument Is to consist of specimens of minerals from the mines of the dis triot set into A cement cone and copper plate inscribed with his name and the dates of his birth and death and brief description of him. A. ready the subscription list has been
 started, letters have been written to the mining companies asking for min eral specimens and a request made for the donation of a plain copper plate upon which the inscription will be engraved. At the next meeting of the city council an application for leave to make the removal will be presented and it is expected that a favorable
 reply will be received.
 Undoubtedly there are many in the district who would esteem it a privi-
 lege to contribute to fund to honor
 the memory of George Warren. espe- cially old timer of the district, but the
 Elks have taken up the matter first
 with the idea of making 1t an Elks'
 movement, for 1t Is along the line Of
 their creed to cherish the memory of
 the dead even though such honored dead may not have been member of
 that fraternity. Those who star ed the movement and the committee
 that now has 1t in hand have no doubt | hat the funds will be raised before all is in readiness for the new grave
 and the monument which will mark it.

WESTERN COLLEGE FOOTBALL

The University of Colorado Is nego- tiating with the University of Wash. ington for a post-season football game to be played early in December. The Colorado team won the champion ship of the Rocky Mountain conference last season. Colorado teams have made trips to the California coast and are now anxious to play in the North west. Dean Roberts, chairman of the faculty committee. thinks there is no valid reason why Washington should not play Colorado. He states "It would be much better if we could play the game earlier. However. I am in favor of playing Colorado the first week in December if the coach and players are willing to keep in training that long"

Words of praise anG commendation always fan pleasantly upon the ear even of the most stoical and when to these are added words of congratula. -tion sense of real satisfaction can 'hot but be felt The Elks are not stoical and hence to them the re- marks of the visiting District Deputy Grand Exalted Ruler were the more pleasing. Visits from Brother W. P. Geary of Winslow lodge are always welcomed by Bisbee G7l and when he comes as District Deputy as well his reception is just lttle warmer. He is highly popular here as an Elk and as an official of the grand lodge.
 After watching the work of the 10. cal Elks at their regular meeting Dep uty Grand Exalted Ruler Geary told the Bisbee Elks that he had not come in a carping spirit and that if he had done so he had found nothing to con criticise but on the contrary much to commend and praise. He eX- pressed his satisfaction at the con dition which prevailed, financially and fraternally, at the charitable and be nevolent work that is being conducted and upon the true spirit of Elkdom that he had found all pervading. He praised the lodge officers who will leave office at the next meeting and stated that his best wishes for the in, coming officers were that they might be as successful as their predecessors ond the same prosperity might con tinue. He congratulated them upon the home and the new memorial tab let which he declared was the hand somest in the Southwest. He espec' ially urged the observance of Flag Day and brought with him from the Phoenix lodge a cordial invitation to all Bisbee Elks to attend the State Reunion, adding that upon the sue cess of the Phoenix meeting largely depended further sessions of the As
 sociation. Following the meeting a luncheon was served.

BILL AT
 0RPHEU M TODAY

At the Orpheum tonight there will be presented the biggest and best bill, says the management. that has ever been presented in the Warren district at any price. There are seven fea- lures on the program. The latter ap- pears in full in the advertising space of the theater and tells its own story.
 From a glance at the program it is evident that the Orpheum has in fact provided a real Sunday treat for its patrons. These should not fail to take advantage of it and see thai their friends likewise do so.

 TO START CAMPAIGN

 SPEAKERS AT MEETING.

All Democrats will be welcomed at Fair Hall Wednesday evening at the meeting of the Warren District Of the best speakers if the state to entertain and instruct in the doc trines of true democracy and Bren- nan's orchestra will liven the inter vals with music. And there will be business of importance to the mem. bers of the club and to all Demo- crats of the city. for on the action that Is taken at that time will large ly hinge the success or the failure of the coming municipal campaign.
 The entertainment committee of the Democratic Club have made ar rangements for an especially inter- esting meeting. They have been for tunate fin their selection of out-of- town speakers and in their success in obtaining those whom they sought. These are Reese Ling of Phoenix. we'll known here as he is throughout the state. a leader in the legal profession and strong cam paigner. as he showed in his con test fin the primaries for United States Senator at the first state election, and A F Parsons. the Douglas lawyer and a member of the constitutional convention. who in the past has often reused Bisbee audiences to a high pitch of en- thusiasm. And there will be local speakers, also, while the engage ment of the Brennan orchestra to furnish musical selections was a move of the committees that's sure to be appreciated.
 No advocacy of any candidate or candidates for any office, municipal. county or state, will be advanced at the meeting Wednesday evening The policy of the club in that di- rection was we'll outlined at the last meeting. but, as stated. there is business to be transacted which will have an important bearing upon Democratic success in the coming campaigns. and 1t is probably the last meeting prior to the city prima. ries. All members Of the club and all Democrats in the District will find it to their interest and the ben eft of the party to attend. and a cordial invitation is extended to all It is expected that the capacity of Fair Hall will be taxed in accommo. dating the throng of the faithful that will be in attendance.

ADOPT NEW SCORING RULE.

The new scoring rule adopted by the Intercollegiate Amateur Athletic Association of America. giving five points for firss four for second, three for third two for fourth and one for fifth place in track meets finds gen eral favor in the Eastern college ath- letic world. The Harvard Crimson states editorially
 Tt is no wonder, in view of the elab- crate apparatus and severe regimen of training required for modern college athletic competition. that participation in athletics Is confined to those who have had some chance of becoming first rank men in some one line. It Is an evil incident to high specialization that the average man is ruled out That it is an evil to have college ath. letics restricted to the few nossibilities of winners all advocates of athletics as wholesome place of college ac- tivity will agree.
 The recommendation of the 1. A. A. A. seems. therefore, particularly time, ly. Group competition should encour- age the lay student to come out IS he does not now. Further 1t ought to broaden the area of competition. in. asmuch as the small colleges and the Western colleges winch have less chance under what might be called the capitalistic system of athletics will now have more of reasonable prospect of placing It is to be hoped that an effort will be made to bring in some of our Western friends.

At Christmas time there is always
a distribution Of dolls at the Chinese
mission stations. But. leaving puppets

Towels are a great luxury in that cOun-

soap Is too expensive for but the rich.
Christmas Scene in Japan.

A missionary at Laos, north of SIAM
tells of solving one Christmas problem
by making a tree of banana leaves,
covered with wax tree flowers, dainty

tain natives of the Lena Delta. on the
north coast Of siberia IneSe were
the people who rescued and befriended
the survivors of the Inflated jean
nette expedition, which sailed from
San Francisco, in July, 1873, under the
command Of Lieut. De Long. y. 5. N,
for the purpose of Arctic exploration
After the bodies of De Long and MS
dead companions had been brought
back to this country, another naval Of
ficer, Lieut. >SchuetZe, who had taken
part in the melancholy task, was sem
back to the Lena Delta with gifts Tor
the friendly Siberians. Congress gave
$1,000 for the purpose, and Schuetze,
being acquainted with the special needs
of the intended recipients, was allowed
to invest the money according TO MS
own discretion.
He knew that steel implements were
not suitable, because in that intensely
cold climate such metal is liable to
snap. Accordingly, he had a lot Of
knives especially made, with wrought
iron blades. Also, he purchased a
number of first-rate rifles, but muzzle-
get cartridges, though they were able
to obtain ~gunpOwder, lead, n percuS-
sion caps from traders.
So valuable is iron to them that a
trader can get a dozen beautiful FOX
skins for a scrap of metal as big as
the ferrule of an umbrella, n this

through the ice in order to set their
nets for fish in the winter. But
Schuetze procured a dozen of the fin
est possible ice-picks, with wrought
iron heads a yard long. one Of them
was enough for a village, and doubt
less those picks, handed down from
generation to generation, will be in use
1000 years hence.
Among other articles purchased were
25 strong axes, a large number Of first
class carpenters tools. 1000 glovers'
needles Dust what was needed for sew
ing skins(, five dozen pairs of scissors,
100 thimbles, fourteen gross of buttons,
several packages of hooks and eyes,
and more h 100 pounds of strong
thread.
All these, together with many other
gifts. were carried from this country
all the way to Siberia, the last 1000
miles of the journey being made by
reindeer sledges. They arrived at just
about Christmas time, and the delight
they gave may well be imagined. What
seemed to please the natives most was
an outfit consisting of some dozens of
cups and plates of granite ware. Hard
" could they realize the idea Of Guns
and plates that would not break, and
cups with handles to them they had
never seen at all.
Included among this wonderful
Christmas presents thus bestowed were
several big copper kettles for boiling
water; also six dozen wooden scarves.
thirty dozen woOllen shawIs, 700 pounds
Of brick tea, and a great quantity of
white horsehair. The last is always
hard for those natives to get, and is
much needed for the making of nets.

pound Of tea. There were ten houses
in the village, and about 100 persons
all told. The supplies were put up in
ten packages. I had the herders har-
and shortly before midnight started
for the village, half a mile west of the
missionary station. When I reached
the first snow house, ] took a flash
light photograph of the deer standing
by the little skin window, through
which a faint CLEAN was thrown by an
oil lamp. 1t occurred to me that this
was perhaps the first time in history
that a live Santa Claus made his mid
night visit with a team Of reindeer.
Digging Into the Houses.
"It was necessary to dig away the
ice from one corner Of the window to
get the package through. The hour
/ spent in this service was one of su-
preme delight to unexpectedly as the
handful of food 1 distributed made the
bright eyes Of so many people glisteu
with happiness, and supplied SO a
hungry stomachs with a feast of good
things the like OF which they had
never before eaten. As I peeped
through the windows, I saw them, both
old and young, dancing around in glee."
Dolls Gives Greatest JOY.
In most countries ignorant of Occi-
dental civilization the children nave lit
tie acquaintance with dolls, and they
! take the greatest delight in them
! when they get them. Thus the mis-
sionaries are always anxious to obtain
as many as possible. They are given
by preference, at Christmas time. to
! the Iittlest girls. and often the older
! ones shed bitter tears because none are
left for them. In Asia Minor dolls are
so highly appreciated that even the
bows and grown women eagerly petition
the missionaries for them, regarding
| them as the most desirable of play
things.
One missionary writes to a friend in
his country about a Christmas which
she celebrated in a big Rouse at
Smyrna, originally built by a wealthy
Turk for occupancy by his harem. Up
stairs? at each Of the four corners. were
two rooms for each of his four wives
this being the number the Koran al
lows. 1t was noticed that the rooms
could be locked and unlocked only from
the outside. What has become of the
wives nobody knows, but today the
house is a mission station, and on
Christmas day sixty or seventy child
converts make merry there, with the
help of a big tree laden with many
gifts, including bright red apples
speckled with bits of gold leaf and a
satisfactory supply of dolls.
Blind Children Maade Happy.
One Of the most pathetic things
