During the past week A.Hamilton took trip down the valley and reports that nearly all the people below Solo, monville are in favor ot county divis- ion, as it will then give them an oppor- tgnity to move the county seat from Solomonville to Stafford or Pima, which will then be the center Of population. He says the people Of that section com plain at the great expense the county is now put to in order to transfer crim- inal cases from the eastern part of the county to Solomonville. This is one Of the heaviest items of expense to the county, and they favor division for the reason that it will lessen their ex- penses. He also stopped at Duncan and found all the people in that section greatly worried lest they would be left in the old county. They are most anx- ious to be in the new county, and they will be.

Efforts arc being made to have a postoifice established at Guthrie. The town certainly deserves one, and it will be a necessity when the railroad is fin- ished into Morenci, and the mail goes to Morenci over it. Wells-Fargo will establish an office at both Guthrie and Morenci as soon as the road is finished. The establishment of an express office at Morenci will cut severely into the postoffice business done in that town.- I ibaral

J. K. Rogers, one of the pioneers of Pima, who is now in Clifton with a view of locating, called on the ERA,
 and expressed himself as in favor of county division. Mr. Rogers was a member of the legislature which cre- ated Graham county, and said that when the session first opened he met with strong opposition, but by persist
 eut work he succeeded in having the
 county created. though the measure was fought by Apache county, from which Graham county was created. Strange to say, one of the representa- tives, from Apache county, used nearly the same language as expressed by the Bulletin last week, to the effect that new counties stood no more show of getting through the legislature than 8 rabbit. History will repeat itself.

A DOUBLE FUNERAL,
Condolences in Lives and Deaths
Of Two Pioneers,

A double funeral of pioneers of the Pa
louise country was held Monday after
noon at COlfax cemetery, William H.
Harris OF near this city and Thomas B.
Turner OF Pampa being laid beneath the
sod. There were a number OF coinci-
dences in their lives, deaths and burials.
Both we're of the same age, 60 years;
both came to the country about the
same time; their last illness dated from
about the same time; their deaths were
not more than a few minutes apart; they
died from the same disease, paralysis,
and were buried at practically the same
hour by the same lodge of which both
were members-COlfax Lodge No IA, A..
0. i. W. Each left a widow, to whom
will fall the lodge insurance of $4,000.
Mr.. Harris died Saturday at o. m.
at his home south of COfax, after long
and painful illness from paralysis, much
of the time during his sickness being
helpless. He was buried at 3 O'Clock
Monday under the auspices of a large
delegation of brother Workmen.
Mr.. Turner died in a hospital at
Walla Walla at about the same hour.
His remains arrived at COlfax on the
afternoon train and reached the GENE
terv just as the last clod covered the
coffin of Mr. Harris.

was an adjourned meeting Friday,

town herds to run at large along the
roads out from town was also discussed
and it was decided to take steps to pre-
vent the herding or pasturing of stock
along the highways and that notice be
published ID the local papers. Several
farmers complained that the stock was
great annoyance during the herding
season,

CLEARWATER COAL.
COlfax People Discovered and Are
Interested.

j Ii. Letter returned few DAYS ago
from the Clearwater country with fat
tering samples of coal. The SAMPLES
carry the ''cOal bOssOm"-fern leaf and
leaf print. There is slate, graphite and
small silver ore mixed with the prospect.
The discovery point is kept a secret.
but from what The Gazette can learn it
is between Spalding and lewiston Idaho,
eight miles south of the Clearwater FAY
IempetOn was the discoverer. 1t is a
six-foot vein with great promise The
samples left with The Gazette we're tun-
neled out in Is feet from the side of a
canyon where there was no pressure. To
make coal pressure is necessary. The
farther in the tunnel was driven the
greater were the coal signs.
There is graphite of the finest quality
to make lead pencils, limestone, silver
ore, slate and sandstone, with the coal
blossom imprint which belongs to the
Devonian period when coal was made.
Interested with Mr.. Letter are J. Y.
Chamberlain, VIM. Chamberlain'and Fav
TempletOn, the discoverer.
The vein dips at an angle of 20 to 25
degrees. 1t is in the same basin with
the OrOfnO coal discoveries and of the
same character.
The pressure must be taken into con-
slderatIOn, as pressure is what makes
coal. These samples were taken where
there was no particular pressure.
1t is believed that further exploration
VIII develop coal mine of value.

PICNIC AT ELBERTON.
Most Satisfactory Gathering in His
tory of the Town.

tOEy III the TOWN..
The ElbertOn picnic closed Saturday
evening, after four days of merry MAX
ing instead of three, so 10th we're the
people to give up the good time they
were having. Large crowds we're daily
in attendance, and it was universally
agreed that the picnic of this year was
the best ever held at the town. Visitors
came from all over the adjacent country
to greet old friends on this common
meeting ground and enjoy the program
of sports, great and small, ranging from
balloon aecensions and parachute leaps
to foot races.
The day and night dancing at the pa
vilion seemed to be especially enjoyed by
the younger people. The music, furn-
ished by Z. Duchemin's orchestra of Col
fax, and the floor management, conduct
ed by g. w. MilesOn, also of Colfax,
were highly praised as the best that
ever happened" by not only the par
Elephants on the floor, but the people of
ElbertOn as we'll.
The picnic this year was under the di
rect patronage of the town council of
ElbertoR, h portion of the necessary ex-
pense money being contributed by that
body. The satisfactory manner in which
the four days sport was conducted and
the evident enjoyment of the large
crowds will prove a drawing card for
next wear

cry, With Splendid Grow
ing Qualities.

This has been a peculiar June. In
stead OF the warm, dry weather gener-
all y experienced, June has been cloudy,
rainy and rather cold. At the same
time there has been plenty of growing
weather and vegetation is rank.
In the western part of Whitman cOun-
~ the crop is well along and past all
danger. 1t is turning color. In the
eastern portion the crop is all the way
from rank spring growth to headed out.
harvest will start in the fields of the
western Palouse country soon after the
Fourth OF July and gradually work
eastward toward the mountains and
higher elevation
At the present time there never before
has been SO fiattering prospect for a
bumper crop. The fields delight the eye
with their rankness If no unfavorabIe
hot winds strike ue, this will be the
greatest crop the Palouse ever grew.
There is small danger of hot winds.
