ON THE TROT.

This world is on the trot, and it is
some trot
We have the fox trot, the turkey
trot, the dogtrot, the gold trot and
the silly trot.
And everybody's trotting
If We don't trot for one thing, we
trot for another.
The young man trots along in the
wake of the dainty maid
The bald head trots around hunt
ing for any kind of skirt.
The millionaire trots in harness
with his affinity.
The dude trots in the halo of his
own Stiffness.
The miser trots after his gold, and
the CRATER trots the road to hell.
The politician trots in the lime
light of publicity, and the voter trots
at his beck and call.
The hypocrite trots around in the
trots after the souls Of men.
Death trots in the trenches Of Eu-
rope, while misery and starvation
trots over the heartstrings Of women
and children left at home.
Everybody's on the trot and it is
a fast and furious trot, with every
man for himself and Satan takes the
hindmost trotter
If you would succeed in this life
you must trot, for only the trotters
reach the goals Of today.
essentially a people of today.
For we trot.

Mountaineer Life In Films.

Another Mary Pickford play" has
been released. THE Eagles Mate" is
the title and it is by Anna Alice
Chaplin AS novel it has been pop-
ular. The scenes are laid In the
heart Of the West Virginia Mountains,
where some OF the mountain folk
are said to live by the rule that might
is right, and that to the strong be-
long the spoils. In the midst Of
these primitive surroundings Ane-
none Breckenridge, a gentle, refined
young girl, accustomed to ali that
wealth and culture can bestow, who
has been kidnapped by one Of the
mountaineers, is suddenly confronted
with life In its most brutal and saw
age form. At first she is appalled, and
dlsgusted as she sees the souls OF
men and women without the veneer
which comes from the influence of
civilization, but before long her ad.
miration is won by the underlying
courage and heroism OF the people
around her and in time she struggles
with herself TO adopt their standards
as her own.

OUR FRIEND.

On Memory of Hubbard Fuqua)
We cannot feel that you are gone,
We fail Lc comprehend
That years must now pass sadly on,
Without your Greer, dear friend.
1t seems, as We walk out each day,
With thoughts G yoG, the while,
That We must hear your voice 80 gay.
And meet your sunny smile
There's nothing left US in this life,
In nature Or in art,
To compensate us for the loss
Of your kind, loving heart.
Let a miracle for us be wought,
Bright spirit, gone before;
Send back to us some loving thought
To make our hearts less sore.
You need no monument, my friend.
Impressive, grand or tall;
Your simple epitaph should end:
eve loved him, one and all"

WILLARD Is CHAMPION.

HAVANA, April 5.-Jess Willard,
the giant Kansas cowboy, is the new
heavyweight champion pugilst Of the
world, by knocking out Jack Johnson,
the former black champion, in the
twenty-sixth round in their cham
pionship bout here today before II,
900 people. 1t was Johnson's fight
all the way until the twenty-second
round, when he began to tire, then
Willard opened his heaviest attacks
and carried the fight to Johnson, who
fought back weakly, but Willard top
pied him over for the count in the
twenty-sixth round with terrible
rights and lefts to the body, follow
ed by right and left swings flush on
the jaw.
A moment after Referee Walsh
gave his decision, Johnson rose from
the floor and left the ring as the
crowd broke in and soldiers were
used to clear the ring. When the
fighters entered the ring Johnson was
the favorite in the betting at six to
five, with but little betting
Johnson said: Il have no excuse
to offer. 1t is better that a younger
man take the championship title. )"

SUBSTITUTE n. 3. No. 60.

At the recent session of the Ari-
zona legislature very few bills were
passed that affected the mining in
dustry directly, but Substitute House
Bill No, 6, amending the miners lien
law, and introduced by Mr. Farrell of
Santa Cruz county, is one that
should be Of considerable benefit to
the state.
Probably no one law has retarded
development as much as this law,
whose original object was to protect
the business men from irresponsible
or fake promoters. 1t provides that
when lease or bond is taken on a
property for it's development, if any
debts are contracted by the lessee
or bond holder the mine becomes
responsible for the debt This, it
will be seen, is the easiest way in
the world for a man to lose his prop
erty.
The cause given at the time the
law was passed, the one for which
the members fell, was that instances
had been known where outsiders had
come to Arizona, take bond or lease
on mines and had run big store bills,
never paying them Thus the law
was a sort Of a protective associa-
tiOn for incompetent business men,
SO eager to sell goods that they would
take a chance of loss without
inQuiring into the standing of the
purchaser. 1t has had one effect of
protecting the business men, as the
owners of claims who have any faith
in them whatever will not lease them
to be developed unless the lessee is
willing to give bond, and even
man who is perfectly responsible is
not willing to do this, preferring to
hunt up a property somewhere else,
rather than to be compelled to COM
ply with such a demand. Hence few
mines have been developed, few pat

PARKER PEOPLE ENCOURAGED
(Arizona Republican.

Representative J. B. Flanagan OF
Parker and O. L. Babcock, Indian
agent of the Colorado River Indian
reservation, had a conference with
Secretary Lane of the interior depart
ment yesterday, relative to the open
inc of the reservation at Parker. Mr.
Lane gave them assurance that on
the completion of the experimental
wells to be sunk by the state on the
reservation, if il appears that su1tl-
Cient water can be developed, he
would open the surplus lands to set
t!cment to the amount of more than
L00, 900 ',cres This is the first en-
ccuraging news regarding the opening
Of these lands thatt has yet been re-
ceiyed from the department. Mr.
Lane regretted that he did not have
time to visit Parker for a personal
Investigation.
Mr.. Lane said: Il see no reason
why all of the surplus lands should
not be opened under pumping sys-
tenn and let the settlers work out
their own reclamation problems
The work of sinking the wells under
the state land commission is to begin
at once under an appropriation OF
$500 by the second state legislature.
This legislation was secured by Rep
resentatiyr Flanagan. The wells are
to be sunk from Is to 80 feet where
second water stratum is encounter
ed. This water will then rise to the
first level which is at a depth OF from
10 to Is feet below the surface. Old
wells indicate an abundant supply OF
underground water on the reserva-
ton. Citizens OF Parker have been
looking forward for the last five or
six years for the opening of these
lands and their efforts now seem
about to be crowned with success.

ents applied for and few claims
bonded.
Substitute House Bill No. seeks
to remedy this situation by making
the mine responsible only for wages,
not for supplies, and wages to the
extent of only two weeks. This will
of course, require the owners of such
bonded properties to require a bond
from the lessee, but such bond would
be in a small amount.

that there has been no demand for 1t,
