Farmers Read And Consider.

LDlIOh OUAhDlANs
Pemit me once more to treat up
on a subject of vital Importance to
the people of this valley, and that
subject is cooperation.
During the last twelve months
the cry Of "hard times" has been
heard through our land, and echoed
from abroad, and one of the com
plants has been capital expressing
labor, and many wise heads have
given vent to their feelings by say
ing that cooperation is the only
remedy for the evils that now ex-
ist.
The lesson before the nation to-
day has proven that man will OPP
press his fellow man, even unto
starvation. And in the language
of the poet, s"man's in humanity to
man makes countless thousands
mourn" Such conditions as these
exist today, in our boasted Gland
Of liberty, have caused co-opera-
tive companies to spring up, all
having their aim to protect them
selves from the fierce and inhuman
expressions ofthe power of wealth.
The farmers and laboring classes
have been prompted to co-opera-
tive organization in this valley.
Our efforts this far have been to
erecta flour mill to grind our grain
that we may not be compelled to
pay about one third Of the value
of our grain to get the other two
thirds ground. 1t is our calcula-
ton to extend the benefits of this or
ganization, until every farmer, and
laborer shall be protected in that
which he has to buy.
Through the establishment of the
GRAHAM GUARDIAN many hundreds
of dollars are and can be saved to
the tax payers of this county.
This institution was bitterly op-
posed. very much like the opposi-
ton that is now brought against
the present cooperative movement,
but the good that has resulted
through the establishment of the
GUARDIAN is apparent to all.
If the people allow this effort to
fail for want of support, then re-
member you have got no civil
officer to apprehend the hand of ex-
tortion. Your only means Of stay
ing its grasp, is in cooperation.
Will you allow your wives and
your children to do without many of
the common necessities of life? and
thus afflict the innocent because
you have failed to make a feeble
effort to save to yourselves the
benefits of your own labors.'
Therefore, in lieu ofthese things,
we call upon all good citizens,
through the valley to meet with us
in Stafford on Saturday the first day
Of June, A. d. 1895, at the Stafford
school house at l o'clock, P. M. to
further complete this cooperative
organization, and to elect board of
directors for the ensueing year,
and to devise ways and means to
hold the products of the farm up
to a fair price.
Respectfully.
A. PERKINS.

The Nicaragua Canal.

Few people know, says the Two
Republics, that the estimated cost
ofthe Nicaragua canal is 100000
900, and that it will take six years
to build it, and that the estimated
traffic through it at the opening
will be 100000 tons, but such is
the case. The canal in excavation
is 26S miles in length; the length
of basins, 2l.6 miles; the length of
the San Jaun river, 62.5 miles;
Lake Nicaragua, sos miles, making
the total length of the canal from
ocean to ocean OH miIes
Few also perhaps know that the
distance from Liverpool to San
Francisco, via. the Horn, is 4,680
miles, and that the distance from
Liverpool to San Francisco, via the
Nicaragua canal is only 1894
miles, or that the distance from
New York to San Francisco via
the Horn, is IA, $40 miles and the
distance between the same points
by the canal route is only 4946
miles or a saving of 1894 miles.
The completion of this canal means
to Oregon a 80 day service by
steamer between Portland and
New York and England; it means
that the products of the forests of
the west will be laid down in the
markets of the east at living prices,
and that staple commodities will
be brought to the west coast OF
America at the minimum cost.

Too Mean to Live.

The meanest man in the world
has been discovered in Washing
ton. His name is George Albright
and for the last year OF two he
has been engaged to marry Miss
Lizzie Jordan. The wedding day
was fixed some time since, but
George claimed that he was unable
to fill his engagement because of
the financial depression. But last
week when Lizzie pressed him he
agreed to have the wedding at
once if she would loan him 81 to
pay for the license. She gave him
the money from her hard earned
savings, but the rascal went to the
clerks Office and got license to
marry another girl. Miss Jordan
has interrupted the happiness of
his honeymoon by having him ar
rested for obtaining money under
false pretenses, and he now lies in
Jail.

Courtship in strange Lands.

The young men of Holland go in
great numbers to Dutch India to
engage in commercial affairs. They
have a truly left-handed manner of
proposing marrige. When one Of
them desires a wife from his own
land, he sends solid left-hand
glove to some male friend. This
constitutes a power of attorney,
and the friend selects a suitable
wife, marries her in the name of
the absent lover, and sends her on
her wedding journey alone to join
her husband.
In some portions of Western
Africa native who wants a wife is
obliged to seek the "Palaver House,
where he talks the matter over
with the elders and afetish men,"
Then he is granted admission to
the presence of the parents of the
lady in question, to whom he dis
plays presents and money; and if
they are satisfied, after much moro
"palaver, The is allowed to take his
bride away, evidently without ask
ing her consent.

Globe May Como 10 Thomas.

Negotiations are pending with
the Globe base ball team to cross
bats with the Thomas team on July
4th. In case satisfactory arrange
ments can be made with the Globe
boys a very interesting contest can
be looked for as a number of old
time players are now holding pos
itions on that team. The Valley
team, which will be known as the
Athletics, has been strengthened
to considerable degree by the
signing of several new players.
The game between Thomas and
Globe will be one of the many at
fractions to be seen at the grand
Fourth of July celebration at
Thomas.

Has anybody heard of anybody
being enticed to the Territory by
means of the so called immigration
literature being doled out in two
stick lots in some of our territorial
papers? For an outside man to be
able to CLEAN any thing from such
work it would be necessary for
him to subscribe for just an even
dozen of Arizona's newspapers and
sift through each one carefully and
for few years to learn anything.
The so-called immigration work is
huge farce sprung on the people,
and the boards of supervisors so re-
gard it.-jSufphur Ne,cS.
