MILK FAMINE RAISES PRICES.
High Price of Grain Conpels Farmers to
Sell Their Cattle.

Binghamton. y. I.-The price OF milk
in this vicinity has been raised to n
figure exceeding anything Of the kind
ever known here. Milk has always
rctailed at four cents quart, except
for 4 few weeks in extreme cases,
when il raised TO five. Now it is six
cents 4 quart. with every indication
that ii will go to seven before Janu-
ary.
The cause is n famine due to the
fact that drought last year. followed
by the high price OF grain, compelled
many producers to sell their cattle.
This, followed by the unusually early
cold weather this year. and the con-
tinued high price OF fodder, has in
duced many farmers to transform the
larger portion of their dairy into fresh
beef The famine may affect New
York City. as farmers are selling their
milk here at seven cents in preference
10 sending il TO New York City az
three and three-fourth cents.

towns laughed at.
Interested observers Of the fight, al

-one the schoolmstress of Plainville,
and one the schoolmistress of North
Star. Miss Wilson of the former town
was a cousin of Editor Boxer, and
Miss Rogers of North Star a cousin 4
Editor Harrison. Miss Wilson regarded
the muss as particularly unfortunate,
because shortly after her arrival on
the frontier, and before the county
seat fight. she had met Editor Smith
and conceived more than passing re-
gard for him Smith himself had been
much taken with her beauty and intel
ligence, and but for his loyalty TO his
community would never have gone
into a fght which separated him from
the woman he loved, but had not told
so.
Miss Rogers was not rs young as
Miss Wilson nor so attractive. In fact
she had passed thirty, was sour of
temper, and much disliked by her pu
pills. most OF whom dreaded her sharp
tongue as much as tney did the whiT

deal OF trouble was pre-
cipitated between rival land companies
as to the location Of the county seats.
Each company desired a county seat
on its particular tract Of land but as
there were not counties enough 10 go
around this was impossible. Fights
and feuds followed ana the liveliest
promoters Of these were the pioneer
editors. In one of the counties that
may appropriately be called Cayuse
the final location Of the county seat
was on Sand Creek, in the east end
of the county, and well removed from
two other promising settlements in
the county known as Plainville and
North Star. The county seat was
called Sandberg, with that rare love
for ugly titles manifest in the Amer
lean mind when naming town, river
or mountain peak. In each settlement
there was an editor-Boker at Plain

THE OLD FERRY.

Where the yellow rapids ran
Through the brake OF reed and thorn,
Fished the ancient ferryman
In the flush of early morn.
And he watched his blue cork quivss
Till across the misty river
Came the mellow Jerry horn.
Ran the sturdy farmer boys,
Wrestling on the mossy banks,
Skipping stones and making noise,
Splashing up the footway planks,
Swapping tests and laughing merry,
While the bent and battered Jerry
Frowned in dudgeon on their pranks.

Then in MONDAY heat and glare
Came the miller 20 his meal,
Bringing with him all the air
OF the cool old water wheel.
And he smoked and talked with jerry,
As he lay back in the ferry,
Tossing al some surface eel.
And at sunset came a stream
From the meadows and the shore
Milkmaids with their pals OF cream,
pumpkins weary armed and sore,
And they wove green hearts OF grasses,
Pressed them on the blus.sng lasses,
As old Jerry bent his oar.

 F. w. Sheridan has returned from a trip through the southern part of the territory, where he went on a cattle buying expedition. His trip was fruit less, for the reason that there are no desirable cattle for sale. He had orders for the purchase of three trainlOads, and was first directed to Nogales, where he was informed there were some Amer ican cattle for sale across the line. When he got there he found they were Mexican cattle, and not the best in the republic either. Leaving Nogales he went to Benson and Wilcox, but found nothing for sale there that would meet his srequirements.-Republican.

There was grand object lesson ir progress and patriotism at he Flagstaff public school building yesterday.
 Surrounded by the embIems of Amer jean liberty the junior and graduating classes delivered their oraliOns, recil st essays and poems and gave musica entertainment which was ''par excel lence."
