Reported Poisoning. by Alum
Baking Powder.

The Johnstown, Pa, Tribune
reports four cases of poisoning
near that city from the use of a
baking powder which, when an
alyzed, was found to contain
alum. Recently in New York
two deaths occurred from poi
soning by the use OF powders
sent to victims in samples.
Many brands of alum baking
powders are for the purpose of
introducing them sampled from
door to door. There are others
which grocers get five or ten
cents can for recommending to
customers. Neither of these
methods are ever employed to
sell the pure, high class goods.
Not long ago, at Williamsport,
Indiana, there occurred a fatal
case Of poisoning from the use
of one of these recommended
baking powders which it was af-
terward discovered was mixed
with poisonous ingredients.
People cannot be too careful
about what they eat. It IS only
safe to refuse all miscellaneous
samples of food, or medicine left
at the door or which to specially
recommended grocers or their
clerks are paid a bonus.

Three Men Killed.

Saturday was payday at Ray,
and the several numbered Mexi-
cans employed on the railroad
grade and in the mines were
having a jollification which
generally follows that event.
The saloons ran wide open all
night, and music, dancing and
drinking were in full blast.
About 8 o'clock Sunday morn
ing in one of the saloons the
Orosco brothers, Domingo and
Rafael, had an altracation with
Ramon Lopez and pushing him
out of the door, shot him full of
holes, killing him almost in
stantly. Lopez was unarmed
and offered no resistance.
The Oroscos then passed down
the street, twirling their six
shooters on their fingers, past
Donau S store and up on the hill
into Sonoratown. Here they
met Hilario Feliz, and asked
him if he was a "bravo," to
which Feliz replied that he was
not. Thereupon they also shot
him dead.
By this time the camp was
aroused, and men come pouring
from all directions armed with
shotguns, Winchesters and six
shooters. The fusilade then
began, with the result that Do
mingo Orosco was killed and
Rafael desperately wounded.
Deputy Sheriff Charley White
brought the latter to Florence
and he is now in the county hos
pital with a guard over him and
small chance for recovery.
The Oroscos were recently
from Quitava, Sonora, and had
only been in the Ray camp two
days. Tribune.

seen fit, in it's magnanimOus wis

of another half of the property

rived. In that event, the serious
problem of paying the current

somewhat pessimistic, but it is

Our delegate, Hon. j. f. vii
son, has introduced three bills
in Congress; one to permit the
grazing of stock on the reserva-
ton; one making the Santa F'e
Pacific Railroad subject to tax
alton at the valuation of $4,000
per mile; another to admit Ari-
zona to the sisterhood Of states.
The passage by congress of these
three bills would be of incalcula-
BILE benefit to northern Arizona,
and would save at least two
counties Apache and Navajo
from bankruptcy. The people
Of the entire territory, and the
northern portion especially,
should put forth every effort in
their power to assist Col. Will
son in the passage of these bills.
Partisanship should be ignored.
The bills are for the benefit of
the people-the masses demo-
Gratis and republicans alike.

PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY.
To Our Patrons.

With this issue of The MAIL
commences its seventh year of
existence, and the sixth year un-
der it's present management.
Since our connection with the
paper, we have never failed in
our endeavor to advance the in
terests of the county and the
town in which we are located.
We can say, without fear of sue
cessful contradiction, that our
efforts in that direction have
been fully up to, if not in ad-
vance, of the material support
we have received.
THE MAIL, during the present
management, has always been
conservative, never abusive It
has always entertained and ex-
pressed decided opinions on all
questions, where the welfare of
the taxpayers of the county were
concerned. And, had it's warn
ings been needed, Navajo Coun-
ty would have been a good many
thousands of dollars better off
today. Her interest bearing
debt would not have been so
great, the rate of taxation would
not have been SO high, with fat
tering prospects of going still
higher
It is true we would have had
no court house, standing lonely
and isolated, a sad monument of
the unnecessary expenditure of
the peoples money. Neither
would we have had a poorly con-
struCted bridge across the Little
Colorado river at the county
seat. But neither of these i'm
provements were absolutely nee
essary at the time, nor are they
now. 1t is good to have them,
had the county been able to
stand the expense. But every
thing was too unsettled at that
time to run the county into debt.
THE MAIL warned the supervi-
sors in ample time, that the rail
road company had always con-
tended they were not subject to
taxation, and were liable at any
time, to refuse its payment. I'm
til this question was finally set
tied, and until the assessable
property of the county was of a
more permanent character than
stock, which could be removed
at the will OF the owner, it was
bad judgment and worse fnan-
cial management, to saddle the
county with any greater debt
than we inherited from Apache
county, for public improvements
that were not indispensable.
Now we have another serious
danger threatening rs. Unless
our delegate in Congress can Sc
cure the passage of the bill per-
mitting stock to Craze on the
forest reserve, which the pres
ent national administrat ton has

Working Against Arizona.

Only one week ago last Sat
urday Oakes Murphy, our gov
ernor, went to the flee of the
secretary of the interior, and
stated that not only the people
of Arizona but the people of the
west want the lands ceded and
do not desire national irrigati-
on. This statement comes from
we'll authenticated and disinter-
ested sources, and it demon
strates what his accidency is
doing to damage Arizona.
After action Of the National
Irrigation Congress, and Of all
other kindred organizations, in
Guiding the board of trade of
most western cities, it is amaz-
ing that such statement should
be made. Murphy knows Ari-
zona could do nothing with these
lands. He also knows that the
people of the west are practical
ly unit in favor of the national
irrigation system. It is high
time for the people of this sec
ton who are working to secure
government aid to construct
reservoirs, to take positive and
decisive action.
There will be a meeting held
on Saturday at 80 pm. at Pat
ton Grand opera house, to dis
cuss the question.
Hon. George Fl. Maxwell,
national lecturer for the Irriga-
tion Congress, will address the
people of Salt River valley on
lhis subject. Let the people
from all parts of the valley be
present to show by their earn
estness, presence and action that
Arizona is awake to the situa-
tion. This is a question of vi
tai interest.-Ph2nix Enter

Governor Murphy passed here

A Superior View.

New Years morning., II you choose.
The wind was sharp and carried flakes
of frost as it swept along the rather
quiet streets. The Gun was shining
but it looked like big. glittering. steel
reflector, giving light, indeed, but no
warmth. and the very sunshine seemed
to make the cold more pitiless. For it
was cold. bitter cold. 1t always ought
to be. on New Years day.
The Honorable Augustine Auburn
knew it was cold. for he had rung three
times for more heat, and had a roaring
tire in the fire, place. and still the frost
would not start from the windows of his
apartments. The Honorable Augustine
was not in good humor. All this
holiday foolishness disgusted him. His
first nap last night had been rudely
disturbed by the whistle-blowing. bell
ringing and roaring, that Az
nounced the Old Years departure and
the New Years arrival. Then just as
he had become little drowsy, his
peace had again been shattered by a
noisy, laughing crew Of young people on
their way home from watch-night ser
vice. He had tossed his head i'm.
patiently on the pillow, and muttered,
What folly will keep people from their
bede."
In fact. Augustine had a habit OF
saying to himself, what folly on
many occasions. A week ago be had
been at the railroad station where a
bride and groom CHANGED to be taking
their departure on their wedding jour
ney. Their young. frolirsome friends
we're there With sacks of rice, baskets CT
old shoes and yards Of white ribbon,
with which they were having great
sport at the expense Of the newly mar
ried pair. They raced along the plat
form as the couple boarded the train,
showering them with rice and covering
the car step with old shoes. The good
natured train crew were looking on en-
joying it. and the passengers and by
ISLANDERS. with the exception Of Angus
tine, joined in the laughter and general
hilarity. As baggage truck went by
with load of trunks, two OF which
were profusely decorated with white
ribbons, Augustine turned away with a
sniff. What folly over nothing" he
said. For Augustine was bachelor.
He was a crusty old bachelor, and
quite prosperous. But he had grown
bald early, and he was not on good
terms with his stomach. His head
ached this morning. and he finally de-
ternined that he would go out and
walk awhile, until the ianitor got more
heat into his room. So he took his hat,
coat. gloves and cigar-a good cigar
and went out. As be closed the hall
door and stood on the top step, the
wind made one Of those peculiar up
sweeps, filling Augustine's eyes with
fine snow and blowing all the ashes
from his cigar. 1t did not improve his
temper, and he swore a little. That
never seemed folly to him. He turned
up his coat collar and started down the
street.
He had gone but a block when he
met the janitor and two of his children.
They were Carrying an evergreen tree
and come bundles. The honorable
Augustine felt aggrieved. This was
the reason he had no heat in his room.
