Sumter can secure two enterprises
we'll worth having if the business men
of the city will invest sufficient
amount of money in them to make it
to the interest of the parties seeking
a location to select Sumter. One is a
roller mill, the other factory to make
high grade furniture. The roller mill
man writes that he has had twenty
years experience and is now the head
miller of a successful roller mill, but
wishes to 60 into business on his own
account. The furniture men write
that they understand the business
thoroughly and can furnish satisfac-
tory references. They wish to know
if local business men will invest
money in factory or if sufficient land
will be given for factory site.

II the reports Of the forest reserve
officials in Arizona are &c, the Nav.
oo --Passing on the o.
ssHiiyon forest reserve. But the Off
cials themselves admit that the Nav
ajoes have good reason for SO doing.
The Indian agent at Keam's Canyon
also reports that many Of the Indians
have raised almost nothing for two
years. and hunger and the fear Of
losing their fiocks have induced them
to take chances in trespassing on the
forest reserre. The government is
heartless enough to order the officials
10 compel the Navajoes to stay on
the reservation and starve. II has
been demonstrated In New Mexico,
too, that the preservation Of a blade
of grass on the so-called forest re-
serve seems to he considered Of high
or Importance than the welfare Of
thousands OF settlers. and certainly
of much more value than that Of q
couple OF hundred Indians. There IL
certainly work for missionaries at
Washington among the forest reserve
fanatics.

nounced. Placards should be used to
