RAILROAD EXEMPTION.

The Phenix Herald is very much
mistaken when it says the people
of Graham county are "nagging"
at the railroad and retarding pro-
gress. The people of Graham
county are just as progressive as
any set of people in the Territory,
not even excepting those in the
Herald office, the evidence of which
fact can be seen throughout the
entire county.
The Bulletin says the article In
the Herald was written on account
of an article in the GUARDIAN, fav-
Oring the taxation of railroads.
Perhaps it was, but because the
people want the railroad to pay
their just proportion to sustain the
government does not say they are
"nagging" at that concern. The
people of this valley have been
liberal towards the railroad, and
now that it is in operation they
patronize it to their utmost ability.
The GUARDIAN is in favor of rail
roads but don't believe they are
any more entitled to exemption
from taxation than any other pub
lie enterprise, If a railroad will
not pay any more to it's owners
than what it's taxes amount to, it is
not worth building.
The Bulletin says the majority of
the people are in favor of exempt
ing the road and that they are not
with Mr.. Jones in asking the Ter
ritorial Board to place the road on
the Assessment roll. We say the
Bulletin is entirely mistaken, and
knew that it was when the article
was written.
In 1892 the exemption of rail
roads was made an issue of the
campaign, and each of our repre-
sentatives were elected on a pledge
to vote against it, which Hon. A.
d. Brewer stated on the floor of
the house, and said that it was his
duty to vote against it, which he
did, as also did Hon. Charles H.
Shannon and Hon. George Skin
ner.
In 1894 Wiley f. Jones made
the pledge, among others, that if
elected he would test the validity
of the Exemption Law. He was
elected by an overwhelming ma
jority. What more evidence does
the Bulletin want that the people
are in favor of railroad taxation,
and still that sheet says those in
favor Of it are "fossils and moss
backs"
1t is true the Exemption Act be-
came law, and if it is constitu-
tional the people are content, if
not let the taxes be paid on it the
same as on other kinds ofproperty.

SOMETHING must be done to pre-
vent future floods from entering
Main street running north and
south through Stafford. A high
embankment could be thrown up
along the north bank of the Lay
ton town canal where it crosses at
the head of the street which would
prevent any ordinary flood from
entering it. Let a few more fresh
cts like the one last week pass
through the street and it will be-
come an unsightly wash, and be-
come impossible, rendering prop
erty on either side practically
valueless.

THE following is taken from the

By an article in another column
taken from the Star, it will be seen
that copper ore is rapidly advanc
ing, and will continue to advance
higher and higher. Now is the
time to develop our new copper
mines, and work the old ones to
their utmost capacity. The cop
per mines in Graham county are
among the richest on the face of
the earthand there is on reason why
the new mines in the Lone Star

SOME people seem to think that
taking the Liberty Bell to Atlanta
may totally rum it, or cause it to
be damaged in some way. When
the removal of the bell to Chicago
was spoken of no such violent OBJ
jections were raised. There are
many people in the Southesn States
who have never seen this famed
belll, and its removal there say be
their only hope of ever seeing it.
The bell was taken to Cheago
without accident and if proper
care is exercised it can make the
journey to Atlanta in the ssrne

THE ENTERPRISE.

AT the stockholders meeting of
the Enterprise held last Saturday,
a report was submitted stating
that one mile of canal had been
completed.
The object of the meeting was to
change the bylaws so as to locate
the terminus Of the canal to a point
just below Thatcher, which we un-
derstand was effected
The people of Pima and Central
are alone to blame if they allow
the terminus to be located at this
point, and they will find they can
not afford to remain inactive in the
matter, as the canal must be built
to the Cottonwood wash to prove
the primefactor in the development
of our agricultural resources. If
the canal terminates at the desig-
mated point the people from below
will be compelled to extend and
enlarge at more than double the
expense of building the proper
length and size in the commence
ment.
The only way that we see for
the terminus to be changed now is
for the people to work up to the
necessity of the canal, subscribe
stock, call meeting and change
the bylaws so as to locate where
it should be, then turn out and
build the canal at least 16 feet
wide.
W. B. Fonda resigned his posi-
ton Us secretary of the company
and Harry Warren was appointed
to fill the vacancy.

We believe it the duty of the
Board of Supervisors to collect
every cent of taxes that legitimate
ly belongs to the county, but we
believe that in the present effort
to collect back taxes especial care
should be exercised, and not serve
notices, at the expense of the
county, on those who have bought
the property in question from the
Territory and hold deeds for the
same, nor should notices be served
for assessments levied on unpat-
ented land, as there is law ex-
empting such property from tax
alton, and not one cent Of it is col
lie table.

"Wilder's lightning Brigade has the
credit of having done more hard fighting
than any cavalry brigade in the army. 1t
was organized Immediately after the battle
of Stone River, Col. j. I. Wilder being or
dered to mount his command from the enc
my's country. BY system of rapid and
arduous scouting he speedily mounted his
command in the rich valleys of central Ten
nessee, and had a large number of horses to
turn over 20 mount cavalry commands, with
a supply OF mules for the Quartermaster.
Gen. Rosecrans was so pleased with their
success that the first Spencer (seven-shoot-
ing) rifles received in his army were assigned
to Col. Wilder's command. Prior to this
time the rebel troopers had rather the best
OF it with our cavalry, but a change was
speedily observed. The country was thor
oughly secuted, and Wilder, though spelling
for a fight with the rebel cavalry, could only
get some lively skirmlshing ont of them,
but gathered in horses and prisoners galore.
"When Gen. Rosecrans moved from Muir
freesboro on Chattanooga, June "a, 1868,
Wilder's Brigade had the advance of the
center, commanded by Thomas. The rebels
held the strong position of Hooyers Gap.

The part taken by the 14th Wis. was quite
an important one. Monday morning, Aug.
6, it charged rebel battery belonging to
| Trebue's Brigade, Breckinridge's Corps, kill
ing the horses and going beyond the guns.
But not having ample support it was COM
| PEELED to fall back, yet again rallied and
made another charge securing one gun and
caisson complete. This gun was spiked by
Lieut. George E. Staey, of Co. d. We then
advanced to the left front. Maj. Hancock, who
was then commander of the regiment, left
strong guard to hold the trophy, our Colo
mel and Lieutenant Colonel having been dis
abled and taken from the field.
Upon our return to the Landing that night
the gun and caisson was taken away. We
were placed on guard at the top of the hill
near the Landing, forming line across the
road to prevent officers and men from going
to the boats. In three or four days Gov. Har-
vey, of Wisconsin, came to Pittsburg Land
ing, and on his return made arrangements to
take the piece Of artillery home to Wiscon-
sin. This gun and caisson has ever since
been held at Madison as a trophy belonging
to the regiment.
At the next Reunion steps will be taken
to return the gun and replace it upon the
very spot where it was captured, there to
remain rs tablet marking the location held
by the regiment. 1t will be point to which
visitors to the field can readily locate the
lines that were SO persistently held on Sun
day, and the beginning of the fight on Mon
day morning; this position being immedi-
ately to the right of the Hornets Nest and
the old sunken road, and to the left of the
Coripth road and near the creek. In our
rear was the old Hamburg road, and along
this liDe-the Hamburg road-lay our heavy
reserve line Monday morning.
Our regiment arrived at the Landing SUM-
day night at p m. from our camp at

The blood is the life. The truth of this
saying was even recognized by the savants
of ancient times.
When the blood is pure coursing through
the veins with its natural warmth and
vigor, carrying strength and nourishment to
all of the body's vital organs, disease can
not possibly gain foothold.
A stagnant pool is sure to contain impure
and foul water. Just so with the blood.
Impure and sluggish blood is the bane of
every life, as nearly every form of human
ailment owes its origin to the condition of
the vital fluid.
If the blood has lost its old time vigor
and purity, it soon shows itself in poor
complexion, pimples and skin eruptions.
You will have aches here and pains there.
These are natures danger signals show
ing that something is wrong. 1t is our
duty to take notice of these warnings, and
assist nature in restoring the blood to
proper condition !; when that has been ac-
complished, health will necessarily follow.
DR.. PETERS BLOOD VITALIZER acts di-
rectly on the blood. 1t purifies and
cleanses the sluggish circulation, freshens
the entire system, and clears the brain by
restoring the bodily organs to their normal
condition.
