TROUBLE AHEAD.

Villa, on the rampage again, would go la
out of his way to worry an administration
which magnifed him for many months and then
| in the end refused him recognition. He does not
love Mr. Wilson at<all, at all; and he has SUI
preme contempt for Uncle Sam.
IF Villa gets on top and has Carranza on the
run, as may easily happen, and menaces Tam
pico and the oil fields, to say nothing OF our
border towns, we may have to rush additional
militiamen down there post haste And this
time they would go to fight. Election is over
now and the imperative necessity Of keeping
out of war no longer exists Villa can start
something a great deal easier now than he
could two months ago; and he would not. have
to murder more than score or two OF Amerl-
can citizens in order to bring on the hvellest
chapter in his turbulent life. If trouble comes,
as it is very likely to, we shall have to raise an
army in all possible haste. We should have
been working night and day to do this during
the last six months. But instead of that we
have done nothing. Our pitful little regular
army is no stronger than it was, while there is
much to indicate that it will be harder to get
national guardsmen down there second time
than it was the first It was new thing then,
a new experience; but it is tedious old story
now. Hundreds of officers have resigned and
more viii certainly do They have done
their bit, we shall hear them say, nave mad as
much soldering as they want-at least under
the present administration-and are quite con-
tent that other patriotic citizens should take
their turn.
In announcing his resignation DR.. Henry van
DYKE. American minister to The Netherlands,
said the main reason prompting his action was
his wish to return to work as a writer with full
freedom to say what he thinks and feels. DR..
van Dyke has enjoyed exceptional opportuni
ties for observation. If he says what he
thinks and feels, his writing will not be without
Human interest.
Possibly the marriage ritual may be revised,
in the future, to include this pledge from the
bride: ''Do you promise to keep the living ex
penses of your home down to forty cents per

judge, vaguely.

He glanced at Eugene. Her very

Fish For National Forest

The District Forester at Albu- querque announced a few days ago that acquisitions for IT con- signments of fish fry had gone forward to the Bureau of Fisher ies at Washington. The con- signment run up to 10000 fry each, and when received will be used by the Forest Rangers to restock the fishing waters of the Southwestern Forests. Noun tain Trout, Rainbow Trout, and Black Bass will comprise the bulk of the shipments.
 One feature of this years work, says District Forester Redington. will be putting fish in six different waters heretofore entirely empty. Rainbow Trout will be placed Tn Ben Hur Lake on the Carson Forest, in Water Canyon of the Manzano Forest, in Stewart Lake on the Santa Fe Forest. and in Showlow Creek on the Sitgreaves Forest. Black Bass will be introduced into Mor- mon Lake on the Coconino For est. All of these waters, al though apparently well adapted to fish, have heretofore been idle from the Fisherman's viewpoint, but within a few years ought to furnish excellent sport. Mormon Lake in particular is the largest mountain lake Tn the Southwest, embracing over fifteen square miles of water. Once well stock ed, it ought to afford fine fishing yearly for hundreds or even thou sands of fishermen, The value of such a water is hard to esti- mate in dollars and cents. espec- ially in the Southwest where bass waters are few and far be- tween.

4 TruLu Ancient Newsbaber

Mrs. Harry Wiltse has copy of the Ulster County (N. Y.) Gazette dated January 1900, which gives an account of the death of George Washington, December 14th, 1799. The paper has been handed down in her family from generation to gene ration and is in remarkably good state of preservation, with the print as clear as the day it was printed. The spelling was the quaint old fashioned kind. using the ''f' for "s." It was a very interesting document because of the kind of news, peculiar ad- vertisements and general make up. Flagstaff Sun.

Republicans of State Elect Dele
 gates to National Contention

SIX delegates and six alter mates to the republican conven- tion in Chicago were selected at the meeting of the Arizona re- publican convention in Tucson last Saturday. The delegation to the national meeting is com posed entirely of regular, old line republicans. Every effort of Ralph H. Cameron cohorts to organize the convention was de- feated and when finally anti Cameron delegates forced a test of strength they carried their measure by 32 votes. The dele gates will attend the Chicago meeting uninstructed.
 No national committeeman was recommended, this being left to the delegates following the selec- tion of the republican candidate for president.
 Resolutions were adopted con- demning the national administra- tion's forlgn policy. calling for adequate preparedness of naval and land forces. favoring the 
 Susan B. Anthony amendment and attacking Governor Geo. w. P. Hunt of Arizona tor his "reck- less disregard of the laws of the state" "
 Resolutions adopted declare for universal and obligatory mill tary training and service, :" wholly under the jurisdiction of the federal government. pro- tective tariff founded on scien- tific research, world peace league. the Susan B.

 An effort to launch a boom in the convention for Dr. Perciyal Lowell, of Lowell Observatory at Flagstaff, for United States sena- tor. was stopped by points of or der, the endorsement of candi- dates having been deferred un- til the adjourned meeting at Prescott on July 6. A rumored effort to have the convention en- dorse Roosevelt did not material ize. From the selection of the presiding officer, the convention was wholly in the hands of the old line republicans.
 The convention elected the fol- lowing delegates to the Chicago convention: Ph- Freudenthal, Solomonville; John B. Wright. Tucson; Edward Kent, Phoenix; Charles A. Overlook. Douglas; Leroy Anderson. Prescott; Fred s. Breen, Flagstaff.
