Pamphlets containing copies
of the initiated and referred
measures will be published and
sent to each voter, and it would
be we'll to study each measure
thoroughly before going to the
polls. The chances are that
most of them would be uncon-

by the voters, Nearly all of
the measures that carried four
years ago would not stand the
scrutiny of the higher courts,

Some of the Arizona papers,
according to the Prescott Cou-
rier, are agitating the starting
of a paper mill at Flagstaff to
manufacture paper from the
vast lot of raw material which
is shipped out of this state to be
shipped back in shape of finished
product. This idea is always a
good one, no matter what it ap-
plies to, and the present rising
price of paper makes some move
of this sort not only a good
business proposition, but an ur-
gent necessity.

Married His Sister

After being married for nine
years, four months of which
was spent in Globe, Rodger w.
Newton discovered yesterday
morninG>that he has been living
with his sister from whom he
separted in 1880 when his par
ents, poor at the time, placed
him in an orphanage at Spo-
kane, Washington. The discov-
cry was made when Newton
showed his sister, for the first
time, a little locket containing
the faded tintype of his parents
which was placed about his
neck when he entered the orph-
anage, His sister has a similar
picture of their parents, who
are now living in Eugene, Ore
gon. Not knowing that they
were relatives the pair became
infatuated with each other and
were later married. The pair
then decided that they would
leave Globe on the first train for
Eugene, Oregon, where | !
doubts as to their relationship
will be settled. Arizona (Globe)

may be both pleasant and useful for
the chief of a squadron to hold con-
versation with any of the officers in
his command, but there will be no
privacy to it. Every ship near him,
whether friendly or hostile, can listen,
and. no matter what the friendly ones
would not do. it is certain that the hostile
would strain ears and apparatus to
hear any spoken word.
Again, unless there were stenographers
to take down the entire talk, no record

Ca NGLAND'S slowness in meeting Ger

ber of the Aero Club the other evening of

Gen. Lee he said, was no less clever

that Admiral Togo was the first in
history to know the conditions and to
control the vessels under his com
mand in manner approaching the meth
DDS of military leaders on land.
Now, by means of wireless, the COM
mander-in- chief can at any moment
reach, directly or indirectly. any unit
of his fleet: scout ships advanced 400
or more miles beyond the main body
can, by realys, report every movement
they detect, whether by observation
from, their own decks or by report
from an aeroplane sent to high alti-
tude.
From information gained from all
these sources the commander forms his
military plan, and by means of wire
less directs his campaign, ordering his
scouts to their duty, his cruisers, his
destroyers and his submarines to their
positions. Perhaps he is calling upon
the department to send more projec-
tiles, more powder, more men or more
beef.
The wireless has made possible more
maneuvers for defense or for attack
than Farragut ever dreamed of, and
misfortune will follow the fleet which.
however well equipped with wireless
means of securing intelligence, may be
commanded by an officer who has not
grasped the meaning Of the new condi-

When the ships under Admiral

wireless telegraph will probably. although
not certainly, exceed the telephone.
No details are given to the relative
expense of installing the two systems, but
on merchant vessels, especially the
freighters, the telephone will be popular,
because it does not require skilled and
high-priced operator. An electrician to
