A FOREST RESERVE.

1t looks as though the govern
ment would now make a forest re-
serve of Mt. Graham, for the pur-
pose, as Mr.. Holsinger puts it, Of
protecting the people against
themselves.
Special Agent Holsinger's at
tention has been brought to the
fact that large saw mill was to
be put in the Cluff canyon, near
the top of Mt. Graham and an
effort would be made to homestead
all the timber land in the vicinity;
the timber would be cut and sawed
at the rated Of 10000 or 10000 per
day and shipped to Globe for
mining purposes.
The above proposition sounds
like harmless one and one that
would bring money into the
country. OF course timber land
on the mountain cannot be home
steaded and those attemptlngit, for
so much per quarter section, which
is the present scheme, may find
themselves behind the bars for their
trouble. But then saw mill may

The Owners Feel Jubilsnt Over Their
Bright Propects.
DR.. w. A. Graham, Henry
Thompson and C. W. Brooks have
opened up what promises to be a
large mine.
At depth of five feet the ledge
shows over five feet wide. The
assays run from $11.00 to S25.00
gold, with additional values in
silver and lead. The boys say
the lead shows a width on the
surface of 40 feet. This lead is
located in the Mayfower Mining
District about 16 miles northeast
of Duncan. We have two samples
Of the ore from this ledge which
are very fine. 1t is one of the
best prospects in Graham County.
There is plenty of wood and
water in the immediate vicinity so
the work can be done at a min
imum cost.
The boys are deserving and we
are glad to say their future looks
very bright.

be operated even without this and
the top of the old mountain, in a
few years entirely denuded of its
beautiful timber and the people OF
this valley receive no benefit
whatever.
If the mountain is converted in.
to government forest reserve, il
does not prevent the operation
of saw mills. They simply get a
premit and cut timber of mature
size under the direction off super.
visor, The young timber is
protected from destruction at the
governments expense, but all
timber large enough may be used
free for domestic and mining pur'
poses on the reserve or in its
vicinity, which would embrace the
whole Of the Gila valley and ad'
iacant mines. No timber can be
shipped by rail. Under the gov.
ernments protection, forest fires
would become thing Of the past
The large timber could be cut and
the young protected. Thus the
forests would be perpetuated, not
alone for the timber itself but fol
the protection of the snow that
falls on Mt. Graham and furnishes
water to the valley.
We believe we voice the senti
ments Of the a majority of the
people of the valley when we say
"Make forest reserve of Graham

A CREAMERY NEEDED.

The Gila valley is badly IN need
of frst-class creamery. There is
a small one at Central, it is true,
but its entire product will not more
than supply the demand of Stafford
alone. What we need is one that
will supply the demand for butter
and cheese of every town in the
county and Globe,
Hundreds Of pounds of butter
are shipped into Graham county
every day. 1t should be reversed;
we should be exporting hundreds
of pounds every day.
The Stafford Ice plant has plenty
of power and cold storage to oper-
ate an up-to-date creamery. With
some addition to the building one
could be established there that
would supply every demand. The
small creamery at Central could
be used as sklmming station, as
these would be necessary at differ
ent points. With these sklmmers
at convenient points the necessity
of hauling great quantities of milk
to the creamery would be obviated.
There is money to be made in
the operation of an up-to. date
creamery; besides it will keep
thousands of dollars at home that
are now sent away. 1t will cause
people to improve their COWS, and
farmers will keep cows especially
to furnish milk for the creamery.
A thousand cows being fed and
cared for for the purpose ofproduc-
ing butter and cheese would help
consume the surplus ofhay that will

valley. OF course we do not suffer
with an overplus Of hay now, but
the time is rapidly approaching
when we will. In the meantime
preparations should be made to
consume the extra hay.
We believe Messrs. Prina &
Olney would be willing to estab'
lish creamery in Stafford if they
could have the assurance from the
farmers that they would furnish
milk regularly and not use the
creamery for a convenient cold
storage for summer and refuse to
sell their milk during winter.
If the Ice Company do not want
to handle this proposition the
business men of Stafford as q body,
in connection with the farmers of
the valley should take hold Of the
proposition and establish first
class creamery in Stafford. 1t
would bring thousands of dollars
here every year that we do not
now enjoy.

IS THIS TRUE?

Mrs. Carrie Nation who, few
months ago, was the heroine of a
vast army of reformers in Kansas,
was interviewed in prison a few
days ago and said:
Gam / deserted? | have not
seen person who is interested in
the cause oftemperance for a week.
| have not seen DR.. Mcfarland or
the Rev. Emerson since | got in
Jail. Not minister has visited
me. What are they all doing? /
don't know what is going on. 1t
seems as if | am forsaken. When
/ was smashing there were hun
dreds who said "Good, keep it up"
and assured me that they would
stand by me, but now, in the hour
of need, | have not heard from one
of them, and they have not contrib
uted a ten-cent piece toward se-
curing my release. l kon't know

money. That is not my work and
/ could not keep on with the work
for the cause of temperance by ac-
cepting such offers, so / refused
them. There is no joy in this
world for me except to gain the
end"
Can this be true that the vast
army of temperance people who
applauded the work of Mrs. Nation
have deserted her at the first sign
of trouble? While it seems impos-
sible, Judging from their words
during Carries smashing career,

vet from her own words it seems
that she is entirely deserted.
We do not believe Mrs. Nations
ideas of reforming people are cor.
rect, nor would she have dared
carry them out but for the encour-
agment given by the people who
now seem to enjoy seeing her be-

POLITICS 0FTHE STEEL STRIKE.

President Shaffer, says the Hous-
ton Post, Of the Amalgamated As
sociation of Steel Workers declares
that if the republican party is 60
ing to continue in power only to
foster institutions that will des-
troy labor organizations it can not
longer rely on the support of labor.
Speaking for himself he says: 81
have always been republican, but
if the worst comes to the worst and
the administration stands idly by
and lets the trusts crush us out of
existence, in the future l shall be
all things to all men," This Ian
guage has occasioned a variety of
comment, mostly unfavorable, from
republican and democratic sources
alike. On the part of the republi-
cans it is met with an impatient
denial Of responsibility for Mr..
Morgan's acts. From some demo-
Gratis it has provoked an express
sion of opinion that its author is
paving the way for bitter person
al disappointment if he assumes
that as a consequence of his threat
against the republican party he is
going to get the support Of organ
lied democracy.
Differing from its contemporar-
les Of either political faith in its
manner of dealing with the great
strike leaders words, the Washing
ton Times gives publicity to the
following, which has the merit of
being timely:
"Mr. Shaffer should remember
that he addresses an incredulous
public when he threatens the re-
publicans with vengeance at the
polls. The history of the anthra-
cite coal strike Of 1900 is signifi-
can in this connection. Although
knowing that temporary conces-
sions were granted only because
q continuance Of the strike menaced
the prospects of Mr.. Mckinley for
reelection, the miners struck their
flag, and voted like sheep for the
State and National candidates of
the trust. There is no assurance
that the steel workers would not
do the same thing. Mr.. Shafier
is on the wrong tack if he thinks
to gain anything at the expense of
the Morgan combination by trying
to scare Mr.. Mckinley into coerc-
ing that coterie of multi-million-
aires. The administration does
not control the trusts. The trusts
own, and operate the administra-
ton"
AS if to give point to the above,
the news comes from Washington
that Senator Hanna will interest
himself in bringing about settle
ment Of the steel workers strike
as a preliminary to the launching
of his boom for the republican
presidential nomination in 1904.
Should there be foundation in fact
for this story, Mr.. Shaffer has sue
ceeded not in soaring Hanna, as
did Mr.. Mitchell the leader of the
anthracite miners in 1900, but in
giving him an opening for play
for presidential nomination in
stead. The result, however, will
be the same. Hanna will get the
goods and the steel workers will
get limited hand.out of tempo
rary concession.

IMPORTING LABOR.

The disposition shown by some
of the big Northern companies to
import negro laborers to take the
place of strikers says the Ne,U
Orleans Times Democrat, threatens
to cause trouble at both ends of
the line-in the North where these
negroes are being employed to
take the place Of white laborers,
and in the South, where they are
won away from establishments at
which they are working, by prom
ises Of higher pay.
Thus there was trouble Il few
days ago at Chicago over some 300
Alabama negroes taken there by a
steel company to work in its plant
while in Alabama the expectation
Of some 400 other negro laborers
who while about to set out for
Chicago were stopped at Briming-
ham by the arrest of the labor
agents having them in charge.
The arrest is the result Of con-
test between two big steel com
panies fighting over these laborers,
the one, the Tennessee Coal, Iron
and Railway company endeavoring
to retain their labor; the other, a
Chicago steel company, endeavor.
ing to get this labor to the Windy
City. The charge made is that
the latter company is enticing, de-
coying and persuading the servants
of the Tennessee Land and Coal
company to leave its service.
The right of all men to work
wherever they choose is conceded
by every one, but public interest
as well as the interest Of the labor
ers themselves demand that this
business of enticing negroes North
to take the place of striking whites
should cease. 1t demoralizes both
sections, for it leaves the Southern
mills without labor, whereas the
Northern mills are unable to
utilize the imported negroes with
out great bloodshed. Nor is it
really intended to employ them
for the negroes are usually i'm
ported only to scare the strikers
into terms.
What, then is the result of this
practice? 1st. The Southern
mills are left short-handed. End.
Trouble is fomented, and apparent
ly purposely-for the companies
know that the substitution of
negro labor for that of striking
white men is like waving a red flag
at bull-and a number of lives
are lost in the struggle. 3rd. The
strikers are cowed into submission
by the substitution Of negroes for
the whites or they win by vio-
lence victory over the company.
In either event the negroes are dis
charged, to become burden on
the community where they are
thus left stranded.
Some way should be found to
prevent such conditions, injurious
to the public peace and order; and
it would seem that companies
taking employees so far away from
their homes should be required to
guarantee their return or their
salaries for certain period of
time. The present practice Of
transferring big bodies of laborers,
mainly negroes, from one part of
the country to the other is causing
disturbance and unsettlement and
precipitating riots and bloodshed.
1t should be prevented.

BolStering Up Doubts.

1t is significant Of the slight hold
that doubt has upon the mind Of
the average doubter that he takes
such infinite pains to bolster it up,
and to protect it round about from
adverse touch. We were by acci-
dent called to look over the library
of man recently deceased to esti-
mate its value. He had been known
as an avowcd and somewhat
aggressive skcptic in his own COM

to ourselves as we glanced along
his shelves wls, "Wcll this man
must have gravcly doubted his own
doubts to so accumulate books Of
this class" The leaders Of modern
infdclity were all there, but appar-
emily none Of them had been scri-
ously read. They gave him cour-
age by their presence, and saved
his doubts from dissolution. His
agnostic creed rcscmbled thus a

at the sides by massive beams and
bolted through the walls with iron
rods, all to keep the concern from

'Honesty Is the Best Policy"

Twas bright sunny afternoon
Ill June, two boys sat talking be-
meath all elm tree; one was a large,
tail, manly looking boy about Gf-
teen years of age, the other about
three years his Junior.
They were discussing a violin
contest which was TO be given a
few evenings later at -- Hall: :
these two boys, Hibbard Crane
and Chester Arnold were to take
part i'll it and each contestant was
to compose his own music.
After they had sat musing
awhile, they noticed dark, threat
cnlng clouds appear, and they were
soon winding their way homcward.
When Hibbard came home he
found his supper ready and cheer
ful mother waiting to greet him;
he went Immediately to his room
and began to compose his music; he
accomplished it with great SUCCESS,
but all! there was harm through
it all. I'll leave it for you, dear
reader, to guess.
Meanwhile let us turn and see
what Chester is doing. When he
came home he began to grumble
because Kate, the cook, did not
have his supper ready and when he
was relieved Of this burden he be-
gan to fret and to frown because he
could not go to his club in the
evening.
The next day it was still raining
and the boys did not see each other

The Proud Cow.

A writer in the Brooklyn Eagle
tells the following fable Of the
proud COW. Fables arc supposed
always TO contain 4 lesson for some
one. Whether this, therefore, is
rcally y a fable or not, the reader
must decide.
There was once COW who was
very proud. She had some reason
to be proud, perhaps, although she
had no right; for none Of us have
any right, although we may have
reason.
This COW was the prcttiest COW
among the herd. She was of
lovely light brown color and of a
slightcr and better shape than the
other COWS. Also her disposition
was more amiablc than that Of the
rest, that is, until she grew proud.
She gave twice as much milk rs
any one Of the herd, and the butter
which the dairymaid got from it
was celebrated for miles around.
The mistress of that cow was
very much pleased to exhibit her
to any visitor. She was continu-
ally bringing her friends out to the
barnyard to admire "My beautiful
little Aldarncy." The cow did
not exa .ly know what the name
meant, but she knew it must be
complimentary, for each set Of Wis
itors strovc TO outdo the last in
praising her.
SO this COW began TO grow very
naughty and she put OF many airs
among her companions. Whether
she was in the cow-yard or in the
field, she selected the plcasantest
spot for herself, the softcst bedding
| and the choicest Of the food. Sooner
than create a dispute, the other COWS
gave way good naturcdly and al
lowed her to have her own way.
She would allow no one to preccdc
her. Coming out of the cow-yard
in the morning to pasture, or going
back at night, she always insisted
upon being the first one to enter or
leave the gate, and the other COWS
were obliged to walk humbly be-
hind.
One night, by some accident, the
other COWS happened to arrive at
home first, and when the proud
cow got to the cow-housc door, all
the others had entered, and she
was left to come in last. Much
affrontcd at this humiliation, the
COW stood at the door lowing and
showing her anger in every way
possible. She resisted every effort
of the dajrymaid, who knew well
what was the matter, to drive her
into the yard.
"'This is the third time she has
acted So" grumbled Rose, the dali
rymaid. 81 have had to turn out
every one of the COWS so that she
could enter first. Nothing else
will suit her."
Now it happened that this night
the cows mistress came down to
show off her favorite, as usual, to
a party Of friends. Much aston
