THE TINE NOT RIPE.
10 your letter of appointment you
suggested that an effort should be
made to secure for Ell PssO the meeting
of the congress in 1902. The conditions,
however, in Houston were such that
nothing could be accom- plished by ex-
tending an Invitation at that time.
Since the natural tendency will be to
swing back toward the east from Grip
pie Creek, it Is more than likely that
New Orleans or some compromise city
of the eastern section will get the con-
vention in 1902
HOW CONVENTION IS SECURED.
AT the risk of making this report
wearisome l will give somewhat in de-
tail the process through which Ell Paso
may expect to go II she wants to get
that convention. At Wichita in 1899
Colorado sent to the congress q dele
CATION of more than thirty with in
structions to work for Cripple Creek.
This delegation had among its number
some of the foremost men of the Gold
state, its brightest orators, and public
men of various professions. They en-
gagged in active personal work and
m ade q strong plea to secure the meet
ing of the congress. New Orleans was
also On hand with a strong delegation
determined to capture the prize. But
Houston had the best of it, and SO COM
plete was the organization OF her diplo-
matte corps, and SO thorough was their
work, that when a party of Houston
fairest daughters marched into the hall
bearing great masses OF fragrant mag
nolias from their gardens at hoHe-
enough for all-even the precedent of
alienation was smashed and again the
east won.
Cripple Creek yielded gracefully to
the decision, but che made up her
mind right there that the meeting of
1901 was hers. So for year prepsra-
tions were making to capture the con-
gress according to the plan laid out.
A month before the Houston meeting
Cripple Creek engaged quarters for
fifty, together with reception room,
at the Capitol hotel. Houston's famous
hostelry. When they came they came
with q brass band, and double eagles
without stint. The band played and
the delegation entertained lavishly.
They did not say much in public, but
they did a vast amount of work in a
very quiet fashion, and every man who
went into the reception room OF the
delegation came out with a

To whom it may concern: The undersigned having purchased the ice factory at Yuma, A. T., wish to anounce to the people of Yuma and vicinity, that the Union Ice Co. have this day reduced the price of ice to ! cent per lb. Object of course to drive us out of Yuma and out of busi- ness. Now this is home industry and gives employment to labor, buys wood and material and helps to dis tribute a lot of money in the City Of Yuma and vicinity. We therefore need the patronage of the people oi this section. In return we solemnly promise on our honor that if Che people stay with us and we are successful in our undertaking, which we know we shall ba.f we get the peoples support, that the price of ice shall never be be more than three-fourths of one cent per pound C75c per 100 lbs. We today meet the cut of the Union Ice Go. and our price of our DISTILLED WATER ICE is until further notice one half cent per pound to all alike. Yours very truly YUMA lcE Co.,,

DEGORATi0N DAY.

Comrades. Q my comrades With
 steady march and slow. The years are going enc hy one, ana
 We but watch them go. The light is dim in many an eye, the
 dark has turned to gray, And sad Docember's step no more
 keep pace with blooming May; But underneath the frost oF years each
 heart beats true and warm, As when we altogether faced the pat
 tle's gathering storm.
 Comrades o my comrades! through
 all the land today The listening soldiers meet to mourn
 the dead ones passed away. With reverence we bend the knee
 above their sacred dust, The noble hearts that fought so well
 and bravely for a trust. 1 Weep truest heart above those graves
 more honored every year, Where ever home, and life, and love-
 and liberty are dear. IComrades, o my comrades! low ly- ing in the tomb.
 Today the breath of spring will come
 with every wreath Ol bloom, !, | On every soldiers grave today some
 gentle hand will lay WI.h tender, warmest thought and 5 love the blossoms of the May, f And when we each Of us shall go te
 ioin the silent train, Some loving hands will find our grave s after the winters rain. 5 Comrades, c comrades! beneath i foreign sky, = Ip unmarked graves our unknowl
 dead in rest unbroken lie; No humane love may reach then r there within the trembling graS: !. But the golden sunbeams fingers long
 fingers and will not pass
 Those narrow homes Unreached b
 man, by Gods love not forgot,
 For the humble wild flower mods ant
 smiles above that sacred spot.
 Comrades, o my comrades! whe s' my last drum shall beat, 'e And 1 am lying cold and low in stun l. Der deep and sweet, On such a day as this I'd have som -0 brother soldier true r. Place OCT my silent breast Wreat .d of red and white and blue, So with the colors on ny heart I' lV worn in many a fight, d I'd carry them, this life's long marc , O,o- into the fields of light.

A DEAD JACAASS.

We saw the only dead jackass last Tuesday it was ever our pleasure to look upon. No inquest was held he was done upjust to suit us. He got itin his longeared nut that Gar lands iron horse had to go round him. The consequences are that one more musical voice is stilled forever and raw hamburg has fal- len Q few cents on the pound. We found the mangled digester on one side of the track, while the music attachment was on the other. We never would have believed him dead, but the jaw never trembled when we held a bunch of greasy newspapers in front of his nose. He is dead. No more will his wild free melody punch the mid
