But why do keep Thanksgiving,
Did hear you Alright, my dear?
Why? When I'm all alone in life,
Not chick nor a child to be near,
Johns folks all away in the west,
Lucy across the sea,
And not soul in the dear old home
Save little bound girl and me?
It does look lonesome, I grant it;
Yet strange as the thing may sound,
I'm seldom in want of company
The whole of the merry year round
There's spring when the lilac bios
SONS,
And the apple trees blush to bloom,
There's summer when great moths fit
and glance
Through the twilight's star-lit gloom.
Then comes the beautiful autumn.
When every fragrant brier,
Flinging it's garlands on fence and
wall,
Is bright as living fire;
And then the white. still winter time,
When the snow lies warm on the
wheat,
And I think of the days that have
passed away,
When my life was young and sweet.
I'm very happy Woman
Today, though my hair is white,
For some of my troubles I've overlived,
And some l keep out of sight.
I'm a busy old woman, you see, my
AS I travel along life's road,
I'm always trying as best I can
To tighten my neighbours load.
That child? You should think she'd
try me?
Does she earn her bread and salt?
You've noticed she's sometimes indo-
lent,
And Incidence is fault;
OF course it is, but the orphan girl
Is growing as fast as she can,
And to make her work from dawn to
dark
Was never part of my plan.
i like to see the dimples
Flash out on the little face.
That was wan enough, and still enough
When first she came to the place.
/ think she'll do. when she's older;
A kitten is not cat;
And now that I look at the thing, my
dear,
/ hope she'll never be that.
I'm thankful that life is peaceful;
/ should just be sick of strife,
If, for instance, l had to live along
Like poor Job Slocum's wife;
I'm thankful I didn't say ''yes," my
What saved me 1 do not see
When Job, with a sprig in his button
hole,
Once came accounting me.
I'm thankful I'm neither poor nor rich,
Glad that I'm not in debt;
That 1 owe no money 1 cannot pay,
And so have no call to fret.
I'm thankful SO many love me,
And that I've so many to love,
Though my dearest and nearest are all
at home,
In the beautiful land above.
l shall always keep Thanksgiving
In the good-old fashioned way,
And think of the reasons for gratitude
In December, and June, and May,
In August, November, and April,
And the months that come between:
For God is good, and my heart is light,
And I'd not change place with a
queen.

AS Seen From a Scientific Point of View,
The following descriptive letter
in the Daily Mining Record from
Mr., A. J. ShotweIl, the well known
mining man of Colorado, will be
read with interest:

observations and can only general

The agricultural resources of the
ella valley are both varid and ex.
tensive, comprising an area Of
arabic land of which there is al
present tributary to canals and
bitches, 10000 acres which is
capable of being irrigated. The
principal products are alfalfa, wheat
corn, barley, oats, vegetables, de
cidious andcertain classes of citrus
fruits.
This is the natural home Of
alfalfa, of which from 4 to 5 crops
are grown yearly, yielding from 8
to s tons per acre. 1t is not as
stocky as that which comes from
the Salt River valley and is pre-,
ferable for either horses or cattle.
Wheat, barley and oats grow
prolifcly, the former containing a
very large amount of nutrition.
Yellow dent, white gourd and
other large varieties Of corn yield
productivity, vegetables are large
and solid and come to maturity
two months earlier than in the
eastern and middle states.
The valley and hill lands are
adapted to all OF the products of
the temporal zone, and many Of
the fruits of tho semi-tropical
countries. The apples equal in
size and flavor the prize winners
of the eastern states. The seed
ling fruits are unexcelled in size
and general excellence. Aprieots
and apples both grow with sur
prising rapidity. The peaches in
appearance and taste are identical
with those which come from the
famous orchards of New Jersey.

the tubers being as large as good
sized potatoes. Tests now show

There is at present about 118
miles Of irrigatlng canals and main
bitches, not including the lateral
bitches which will make the total
several times this amount. This
gives ample water to assure crops
for about $4,000 acres. When the
Enterprise canal is finished it will
water several thousand acres of
rich table and bottom land. 1t
has been estimated that quarter
of million acres of additional land
could be irrigated if storage dams
were built. This could be done
in several places, notacly at the
narrows about Is miles from SAT-
ford where a box canyon exists
through which the river passes.
1t is from this point the Enterprise
company are building their canal.
Graham county covers an area
of 1000 square miles.
The ella valley is 80 miles from
the narrows to the edge Of the res
ervation, with an average width Of
bottom lands of Two miles, the dis
lance between the foot hills being
six miles. The valley is fanked
on the north by the ella mountains
and on the south by the Graham
mountains, Mount Graham being
the highest peak, with an altitude
of ten thousand feetabove sea level.
Although but little prospecting
has been done in either the ella
or Graham mountains, the few
properties which have been de.

lis practically inexhaustable; while
copper predominates, there is both

STANDING OF CLUES.

The local team must have been
frightened by the reputation OF the
Toledos. They gave a very clever ex-
hibition Of how not to play the game,
and it was fortunate from a box Office,
standpoint that the crowd was small.
Deacon Hallowen thought he might
break his string Of bad luck on the
Toledos, but he gets one more think,
The Deacon was all right for few in
nings. but Toledo sized up his curves
in the sixth. Then the Deacon threw
up the sponge, and Coyle finished the
game. Hallowell has yet to pitch
winning game for Wheeling.
IL was a comedy of errors on the
Wheeling side, with Gordon as the
star performer. Gordon will probably
not oficiate again behind the bat. 1t
was his off day, with a large and in
luential capital 0. He made four
separate and distinct errors, and was
saved from a fifth after mufting foul
fiy. by Pop Lyle retiring the batter on
a fly to left garden. Gordon's hitting
was weak, his throwing was bad, and
his backstop work was worse.
Wheeling punched four errors IN the
first inning. and four more in the
seventh. a pitcher cannot be blamed
for weakening just a tri1e under such
adverse circumstances.
Hartman was first at bat. He gave
Gordon a chance 10 retire him on
foul fly, which he muffed Then he hit
a hot one TO Bullock, and Bullock al
lowed it TO get past him, Hartman
taking three bases. Gilks fouled out.
Beck hit to DIESEL, who tielded the
ball quickly to Gordon, but Gordon
fumbled. losing a chance to retire
Hartman, who had started home, and
got back to third in safety. Myers
doubled, scoring Hartman. Hasa
mer got a life on Deisels error, which
allowed Beck and Myers to score. In
the eighth inning the home team gave
a ludicrous exhibition. Langsford
Dicked out one of Coyle's curves and
sent il over 10 third, reaching first
ON Taylor's bad throw. He started to
steal second, and Gordon threw high
10 Bullock. The ball went out TO cen
ire. and Langsford continued his
sprint. When he reached third he
found that Robinson had allowed the
ball to get past him, and he came

A carrier pigeon, supposed to be one
of Balloonist Andrees, was recently
caught with North Pole, 142 w 4762"
stamped on its wings. This is unintelli-
gible. If the meridian is right what is
the latitude? That could not be 1852,
for that would put Andree 500 miles
out in the North Pacific ocean. The
meridian given is nearly that of the
Kloldyke gold region. II the aeronauts
kept a good lookout, what a glorious
chance they may have for making their
fortune. Swooping down from the
sky, they would escape the long and
tedious passage by sternwheeler up the
Yukon from Boring sea, or the shorter,
but more difficult and perilOus route
over the mountains and down the tor
rents from Juneau. They would be on
the ground months in advance Of the
rush from the States and when
they have made their pile they can rise.
with their treasure and sail off on a
favorable air current to the nearest mint
without paying tribute to transporta-
ton line or express company. As the
balloon is well stocked with provisions
and cooking and living outfit calculated
for the icy regions, the lucky trio would
be Independent of the extortionate
dealers in supplies. Are Andree and
his companions digging gold in the

KLoNpYKE GoLp Is PooR.

If al other warnings are useless in
lettering the Argonauts of 81 from
running heller SHELTER to the Yukon
gold fields and there starving or freez-
ing to death, perhaps the cold water
thrown upon the idea by a California
smelter may have its effect. This pes
simisuc person says the Yukon gold is
not the best quality article. 1t is a
deceiver, rich to the eye. but poor in the
melting pot when compared with the
California product. Instead of being
deposited nearly pure the Yukon gold
was adulterated in the original forma-
ton with silver, iron, lead and other
base matter too poor for an assayer
to take the trouble to identify. Yukon
gold is not worth as much as California
gold by a dollar an ounce.
Now that is discouraging. After pay
ing out some hundreds of dollars of
good money in travelling 1000 to 5000
miles. or risking limb and life in climb
ing snowy mountain peaks and floating
down dangerous torrents on the short
cut to the diggings, it would be pro-
voking TO have an assayer turning over
the nuggets and dust brought out and
remarking in a tone Of disagreement,
Yukon gold. Sorry to disappoint You.
but the stun is worth and 8 per cent
less than California gold. You have
gone a very long way to get a second
class article.
But was it merely California jeal-
OuSy?
