A SEISMIC DISTURBANCE.
Witch Blasted One of Silver Pegs
 Ambitions

The Republican a few days ago mentioned the arrival in town of 'S..ver Peg a prospectc-, well known throughout the inter-mountain country from British America to So nora. "Silver Peg is a cripple with a peg leg. He had three longings in his ambitious days. The first and chef one was, of course, an ultimate home in Heaven. Another more i'm mediate ambition was the breaking Of 8 faro game by system which he had figured out with great care and be- lieved to be infalIible. Silver Pegs" third ambition was also world ly. It was to discover a richer gold mine than had ever been discovered. When this was accomplished he in
 tended to replace his wooden leg with a silver peg. Hence his name. Y "Silyer Peg divided his time be-
 tween Investigating the hills, and per
 fecting his faro wrecking system. The system required a certain amount of cash and its intricacies involved the frequent "coppering' of the queen.

THE PATTON GRAND TONIGHT


 Tonight is the night of nights for the colored folks, as they give their first appearance before a Phoen1x pub lie. They have been rehearsing dili- gently and are in a position to show what really good talent exists among the colored folks of the city Those who saw the final rehearsal last night pronounce the enten1ainment better than any given this winter by any company. The Jubilee Singers were organized fer the benefit of the A. M. E. church, and include in it's mem ber- ship the very best colored talent in Phoenix, which is saying a good deal. as Phoenix possesses talent that would make it's mark on the pro- fessiOnal stage any time There is Bert Trice in the late coon songs. such as 'Tn Telegraphy My Baby. p and others. who is simply a wonderful master. Harry Pierson, probably as good juvenile singer and dancer as Thomas in specialties. Theatrical patrons have no idea how good these people really are, and can only judge by seeing themselves, which if tthey do, they will be more than pleased that they attended. All the late "coon'' songs will be in troduced, fnterspersed by dancing and late specialties by various mem- bers of the company, and last, but not least, are che famous jubilee songs by the entire company, 25 in number, that only have to be heard to be ap- preciated. In fact a really good show is promised. Seats go on sale this morning at 3. n.

ROSES EVERYWHERE.
Entertainment By the Ladies of the
 M E. Church.


 The Ladies' Aid society of the First M E. church gave one of their justly celebrated teas last right in the par scnage. This one was called Rose Tea" and truly it was well named, for roses were everywhere. On enter ing the hall ones attention was first attracted to the stair rail which had more the appearance of a rose terrace, adorned as iG was with dozens of va rielties of roses on a background of olive branches and pepper boughs. The grate in the parlor looked as though there might be a fire in it, filled as it was with a bank of Amer ican Beauties" hemmed in by lace work of pure white roses of many varieties. The center table in this room was fairly covered with beau- 'sifu1 N1rechel Neils. The main din the side dining room was in pink In all there were ove.~ fifty varieties of roses used, soma of them very rare and only possible to obtain in such profuslion at this time of the yea3 in sEn-kissed Arizona.
 These teas given by the Ild:es have become famous for their novelty and beauty and they surely sustained. if not surpassed their former reputation. at this time. The attendance was in deed very gratifying, the rooms and tables being crowded from 30 to 10 o'clock. During the later part of the evening the Porter brothers rendered some beautiful music on their man dolins.

WE WANT TO SAY

We have not sold out. Never thought of such a thing. Didn't start up this business to sell out. This is one grocery store in Phoenix that is not for sale. We feel sorry for that fellow who had nothing else to do than circulate such a foolish report We took contract to sell groceries cheap e. than some people can steal them, and we are doing our best to carry it out. Something new in a few days that will bring tears of joy to your eyes. Some merchants think it's dull and go- ing to be a very dull summer. Our business is all right and we are going to keep it all right

To the Editor of THE OPTIC. a.
SIRz-Pardon the writer for intruding
upon the valuable space of The OPTIC
but the subject is an important one and
has been brought forward by the ap-
pearance yesterday in the Albuquerque
Citizen of the proceedings of the board
of county commissioners of Bernalillo
county of date of August 1929.
How long has it been since any of the
proceedings of the San Miguel county
board were publishedp
The writer remembers seeing in The
Optic early in August proceedings that
were transacted on April 9 last. In
other words, four months elapsed be-
tween the time of the meeting of the
board and the publication of the pro-
ceedings. -
Does this comply with the law on the
subject?
Section 694 of the compiled laws of
1897 says: "The board of county COM
missioners shalEcause to be published
once. within fifteen days after the close
of every regular or special meeting, an
abstract Of the proceedings had, and
an itemized statement of all sums of
money allowed, and for what purpose
and to whom allowed. In some paper of
general circulation in their county"
Instead of publishing the proceed
ings in fifteen days time, according to
law, the commissioners or theScierk or
whoever is responsible allows himself q
full four months or eight times the
period required by law. Section 695 of
the revised statutes prescribes heavy
penalty for this evasion of the law as
follows
"Any county commissioners or clerk
of any board Of county commissioners
who shall willfully fail or refuse to per-
form the duties prescribed in the two
preceding sections. or shall violate the
provisions thereof, shall be deemed
lguilty OF misdemeanor and upon con-
viction thereof before the district court
of the proper county shall be punished
i by fine of not less than iifty nor more
than five hundred dollars for each Of.
feHee." 800
/ Now, what does the board propose 10
do about this matter7 sa
| Certainly If the writer was member
of that body, or even the county clerk
be would endeayor to obey the law.
i Yours truly,
RUsTIOUs.

lar sentiment
Ii is now beginning to appear that
while the whole nation accepted the
revolution ON tacit understanding
that the intolerable incubus of party
politics would be permanently re-
moved by securing an American pro-
tectorate, Jiminez's party was working
for his personal interests, to establish
which they now propose to utilize the
victory, il they can, to compass his
constitutional election, in spite Of the
growing popularity of General Ha-
racio Vasquez, provisional vice pres-
ideDt, who was the real leader of the
revolution and is. The real hero of the
hour.
Advices add that unless the person
elected either adopts the popular 'aspi-
rations or as alternative succeeds In

she has long been stranger and which

Wool in Boston.

BOSTON, Sept. 8.-The American
Wool and Cotton Reporter says: The
trade as whole reports quiet mar.
ket doing the past week, but a few
houses have contaminated some good
sized deals and as a result the total
sales of the week aggregate large to-
tai, one house alone disposing Of about
100000 pounds of wool, comprising
1,SC0,CO0 pounds OF Montana Most
houses report small business, -bui
there is no diminution in the strength
previously shown and woods continue
to be stIffly held, generally at top fig
ures. N,
Manufacturers, it appears, have beer
testing the market for all 1t Is worth
and are doubtless satisfied that they
have had strong market to butt
against. All cheap woods are prac'
ticallV eliminated and old notify wools
have been pretty well cleaned and gone
into consumption, so that the markets
present clean stock and price which
IS low today compared with that oi
other countries, particularly on fine
woods. There has been considerable
looking around on the part of manu-
facturers and lots of sample bags have
been taken which, it is believed, viii
lead to good business in the course Of
a week or two. Manufacturers are
buying only such woods as they need
however, and little speculative tend
ency is noticeable in the market to
day.
The sales of the week in Boston
amounted to 1905cO pounds domestic
and 440, 900 pounds foreign, making {
total of '6,640500 against total o.
1856 Geo for the previous week and {
total of 1,S05,6C0 for the corresponding
week last year. Sales since January
l, 1899, amounted to 191, ,377,5o0 pounds
as against 79,804,0l0 pounds last yeae a
this time.
