Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1893-08-05

ONE of the most curious rock forma-
tons in the world is to be seen in Ari-
iona. It is short distance east of the
stage road between Tucson and Oracle
and stands on knoll several feet above
the surrounding sand hills. It is a
most perfect representation of camel
and is formed of one piece of granite.
1t is about sixty feet high and is very
white and smooth. There are very few
assures on the surface, and they
strangely are in the proper places to
form features. The only real projec-
ton from the surface is exactly placed
for an eyebrow. The two humps are
plainly to be seen, and the neck is
curved beautifully.

AS AN illustration of the kind of men
we have on our western frontier the
following may be related: At the time
when the Indians of old Chief Colo
rows band were threatening trouble
out west one of the bucks" called at
an agency to inspect a lieutenant who
had just been put in charge and to
show his contempt of the soldiery. He
had repeating rife on his back, two
revolvers and knife in his belt and
look of scorn on his brow. The lieu
tenant, who was unarmed, greeted him
cheerfully, and offered his hand. The
Indian looked at it and turned away
with a grunt. 1t was time to show
decision. The lieutenant, who was an
athlete, seized the red man by girdle
and jacket and dashed him violently
against tree, whereupon all the as
sembled Indians burst out laughing,
and the Inundated bully skulked away
without trying to use his firearms. 1t
is safe to say that redskin suddenly &C
quired wholesome respect for Uncle
SANS soldiers.

Tom ROE, truck. farmer of Waco,
Tex, is not a prize fighter, but if he
should run afoul of some of the sup
posed fighters they would not get off
very easy. Several days ago his horse,
that had been grazing in the field, be-
came crazy and made rush for Tom
with open mouth, and would probably
have seriously injured him had he not
leaped aside and struck the horse on
the neck with his fist, killing him in
stantly.

Gray, Augusta 29.-The opening of the
Gray PARK Association fair was post
poned on account of the storm until the
first fair day. With the large field of
horses for the different races it would
seem that the races must be hard fought
and closely contested, and this is what a
major part of the patrons of the fair
like. The large number of fine cattle
that are on the grounds will be interest
ing to the farmers.
The hall exhibition, judging from the
display this morning, will be large and
pleasing. The dining hall will furnish
meals at reasonable rates and people will
not be obliged to leave the grounds for
eatables.
The Storm Postponed the Fair.
Cornish, August 29.-The Ossipee
Valley fair has been postponed to the
first fair day. A large number of cattle
are here and all the stalls are full The
grounds are covered with tents. The
rain was coming down in torrents this

Competition q Curse.


New Nation (Beamy's paper), Boston.
At recent meeting of the Ma
tional Furniture Manufacturers as
sociation at St. Louis, Otto Stech-
han, of indianapolis, Ind, was
elected president. Mr.. Stechhan is
a manufacturer and successful bust
ness man, and has been prominent
member of the state board for indus
trial schools. In his address to the
association, among other things, he
said
Competition AT one time was
considered the life of trade, but this
maxim has long become fallacy,
and competition, if anything, is a
veritable curse instead of a blessing.
Competition is the cause of all at
leading evils associated with the
manufacture of furniture. Margins
have become so small that every in
significant item which enters into
the cost of manufacture becomes a
factor of Importance. Every Incl
dental must be calculated to frac-
ton if you wish to be able to hold
your own, to say nothing of realiz-
ing a mere interest on your invest
ment The city manufacturer, if he
would place his goods on the market
at actual cost to-day, could still be
undersold by his boom town COM
petitor 10 per cent, and yet give
him a reasonable margin on his out
put. But what does this indicate
Does it mean that the village manu-
facturer can purchase his lumber,
hardware, varnish, mirror plates or
other material at a less price than
his competitor in the city? Or is
it not a fact that such is not the
case, but rather that it is done at
the expense of human muscle and
brain, at the expense of impoverish-
ed labor, of demoralized homes, and
at the expense of the health and
happiness of the people who are so
unfortunate as to be compelled to
work for starvation wages!

that it has been brought on a level
with convict labor; that we are
