tai offense to criticise their actions.
It was rather low down trick to circulate the
report that there was several quarts of old time
liquor in the cornerstone of the old Montezuma
hotel building which was being torn down a.
Nogales, buried there in the sos when the hotter
was built. This was just done undoubtedly 20
expedite the excavation. Now comes the report
that no liquor had ever been placed in the corner
stone proving rather conclusiyely that Scotch
man built the building and another one is tearing
it down.
1t would seem that Arizona had eventually
jockeyed itself into the position of demanding the
most of any state in the Union and getting the
least from its demands. Even the light haired,
blue eyed Indians get off their political reselva-
tionS long enough to stop any appropriations be-

No wonder Arizona has been nicknamed 'Tne
Baby State" Things will probably be different
when it grows up
1t is hardly fair to lay everything to Mexico
when us Americans go over the line and make the

together unusual in the United States senate.

grave" The inheritance tax does not even stop
at the grave, but includes all from the cradle to
that point.
The live merchants of the city are taking
advantage of the present in cleaning up old stocks
and getting ready to meet the spring trade with
smile and an up to date stock of fresh goods. If
you can't get it in Flagstaff you are hard 70
please.
The vivid advertising of the big rodeo and wild
west show held this week at Tucson, so preyed on
the minds of couple citizens of that locality thai
they went out and stole couple hundred cattle
off the range and shipped them to Los Angeles.
There is no question now but the Colorado river
will eventually be developed. Chicago scientist
has figured out that the world will not come to
an end for at least 100000 years. Consequently,
why rush matters?
When a newspaper is dated ahead q day to fooi
the subscribers, one can readily imagine what the
editor of the sheet does to the news" he prints
when it does not suit him.

what sort Of place Columbus really discovered.
Los Angeles had little shake up from an

The annual coal strike has been settled, SO it is
reported, and before even the robins had chance
