 DOWN paign for delegate to WITH BRY- congress. Both Wilson

 ties. Give me sixteen to one." shouts Smith. "I am opposed to militarism and imperialism" chirps Wilson. Bosh men stand on platforms based on the Chicago and Kansas City anarchistic platforms. Both are opposed to imperialism" in the face of the fact that the entire Pacific coast is prosperous as a result largely of the increased trade with the orient grow ing out of the administrations eXpan- sion policy. Both want 'o reverse the financial system which is mak ing us the most envied nation on earth. Both arc thoroughly impreg- mated with the Bryan virus, and we have demonstrated, and shall continue tc pile up testimony, that Bryan is a rampant demagOgue.
 The best interests of Arizona demand the defeat of the democratic candidate for delegate to congress, be he Smith or Wilson. This is a territory with future, and its future must not be jeopardized by the election of a man pledged to a policy of calamity and flag hauling and apprehension. This is a republican year and Arizona must not miss the glorious opportunity now pre- secure her share of the fruits of vic tory. If the republican convention next Monday nominates a strong man, and if the republicans of the territory go into the campaign with a determina- tion to win, victory will surely be ours.

OUR FATHERS MISTAKE.

on bright June day 107 years ago a Scotch furtradcr, toiling up the Peace river to is southwestern source. came tu thJ place where the stream issued from beneath q great bank of sno;v. Cr-ssing d little pond and scarcely disturbing the many wild fowl and beaver. he listei his travel-worn birch bark over pile. of drftwool into an illnatured streamlel, which smashed his canoe but at last bore him down to wide unknown river. Learning from the Indians whom he met that that river ran very long way toward the midc1y sun. and at last fell into a great water which was not good 10 drink. Mackenzie made q shrewd but erronious guess that the river he had found was the Columbia IL was in fact the Fraser

BOOKKEEPING TYPEWRITER.

The latest improvement on the type writer is a machine which can be used to write in books.
 This is a most important improve ment. as the typewriter has hitherto been unavailable for one of the chief | occupations in d business office. This machine is called the book type writer"
 The keyboard is similar in form to that of other machines, but the letters are arranged to strike underneath. Be meath the keyboard there is a large iron framework into which the book is plaosd. This can be screwed up SO that book of any size will be held firmly and kept flat.
 In spite of the different arrangement of this and the ordinary machines. tho keyboard can be lifted up and the writ ing looked at while the work is still go- ing on. An essential difference between this machine and the others is that the printing apparatus moves down the page instead of the sheet moving nn T roller. The book typewriter is prob ably destined to play ereat nart in business work in future. The old fash toned booKkeeper wearing his eyes out making copper plate figures in his lede- CT will become 9 thing of the past. Ail this work will be done by the new type- writer.
 When all ordinary arithmetical cal culations and all bookkeeping are done by machine. which will soon be the ease, two of the most laborious and dis agree able of human occupations will be done away with. The new machine is also usIful in taking manifold copies. II makes fifteen clear copies at a time. New YOrl: Journal.

 The Phoenix press paints the pro- ceedings of the democratic convention in colors which reflect no credit to the party. The whole business was the natural result of selfshness of the most swinish character. It was a fight be- tween a lot of bosses and the represen- tative of the rank and file of the dem ocratic party Their fight was for spells and not for principles, and it now looks as if they would lose both. and with them the confidence of the peo- pie"

An English experimenter has made formal announcement of his invention of what may be called a wireless tele- phone. He says he has a practicable commercial system by means Cf which conversation can be carried on, with out wires. at a distance of from six to eight miles across water. He does not make the same claim for land cOmmu- nlcation, but it is obvious that if he can demonstrate the truth of his claim there will be an instant demand for his device, and he will have to suffer no such waiting and disappointment as betell the inventor of the telephone at the beginning of his career.

JUMPED FOR HIGHEST WAGER

Tn the History of fhe West Branch Valley" Mir. Nteginness tells the story of Marcus Rulings fam us jump.
 Huling was walking along the river bank when h. suddenly became aware that he was pursued by Indians. Real izirg that his only hope lay in flight he ran with all speed toward the preci- picc at Blue Hill. but ,hc Indians rap idly gained on him.
 Driven to the edge of the frighcfu1 pr5cipice with the savages yelling in lis rear, he determined to jump, pre- ferring to die in this manner than t1 fall beneath the tomahawk.
 Seizing a large overhanging branch of a tree, he leaped over the brink and landed some 9 feet below on a shelf of rock, unhurt. From this point lie jumped 40 feet farther into the river and escaped with only a disIocation ci his shoulder.
 The savages were obliged to run round for mile, and Huling had time 10 make his escape. It is supposed that the branch broke his fall and saved ais life. Huling, on being asked about it, replied:
 ''I jumped for a great wager I iumped for my life!"

the AUDITORS STATEMENT.

One neighbor last week explained
the saving to the countyby the state-
ment appearing only in the Dispatch.
Last year the commissioners afforded
an opportunity for both the local pa
pers to make bids for printing it.
The Dispatch bid $50. and the PRESS
$40. and the commissioners, wisely
as we think for thelinformation ofthe
citizens of the county, awarded the
printing to both papers at the prices
offered, although with perfect propri-
ETY. they might have accepted only
the lowest bid. The total cost was
therefore $155. This year the COM
missiOners did not afford any oppor-
tunity to the Press to bid but made
a contract with the Dispatch for $l05.
Why the increase of $25. Is worth
more this year than last? The extra
edition of the Dispatch perhaps ac-
counts for the increase in cost. In
other words the commissioners this
year allow $25. additional which
il can advertise itself by sending out
800 extra copies at cents each to be
paid by the taxpayers. There is an
other side to the matter however.
The family of one of the commission
ers is interested to the extent of sew
eral thousand dollars in the Dispatch,
one of the sureties on the bond of an
other commissioner has also a large
financial interest in its success. and
is said TO be an aspirant for an inn
portant office. The editor of the pa
per is himself an Auditor to pass on
the bills for printing, hence, it may
be seen where a motive lies to aid
and assist that paper to prosperity and
success with a reasonable certainty
that the bills will be allowed.
Taxpayers may therefore under
stand how ''the end and aim of the
Board of County Commissioners, as
now organized, is to save as much
money as possible for the county,"

A Rich New Highlander Builds City
in the Woods,

Much has been said abont Van
derbilt's great place down South.
but it is left for a New Englander'
to go Vanderbilt" several better" i,
Mr.. James w. Tufts of Boston,
Mass, the we'll known soda water
apparatus manufacturer went
down to see what attracted so many
Yankees to the Southern Pines, N.
C. region. He saw there town of
fine hotels, handsome homes, beau
tlful farms and profitable Vineyards.
and inside OF ten days after his ar
rival he had purchased six thousand
acres of land near the town. He
employed the best landscape engi-
neers, laid the ground out and then
commenced great work. Humid
reds of carpenters and labor9rs were
employed, building roads, parks
electric car lines, lakes, hotels,
homes, deer parks, and in fact every
thing that money could build.
This work has been kept up until to
day this man has one of the most
unique and handsome places in the
world with its opera houses rest
anrants and everything toamuse and
interest.
The best part of the work, is thai
this big hearted man is not doing
this solely for his own pleasure, but
he is entertaining at about actual
cost, hundreds of doctors, lawyers,
ministers and teachers, who could
not afford to pay high rates for rent
Of cottages and hotel charges. Mr..
Tufts is in no way working this en-.
terpFise TO make money he sells no
land or lots. His great pleasure is
to draw around him hundreds of
Northern people from his native
section during the winter months,
and see them enjoy themselves and
regain health at the same time,
What a happy world this would be
if there were more men like Mr..
Tufts, who is constantly planning
how he can add pleasure to some
one else's life, besides himself and
family. Pullman built his city for
his own financial benefit, Wander
bilt bought his thousands of acres
of Southern lands, and built his place
for his own pleasure but Mr. Tufts
built his Southern city with its
handsome hotels, comfortable board
ing houses and scores Of cottages for
the pleasure of the people. In the
final day of reckoning James W
Tufts, the wealthy New Englander,

magnitude.
