Alvin JOsIin.

The old time favorite, Alvin Joslin,
will be the attraction at the opera house
Saturday night, February 8. The play
deals with the adventures of a New Eng
land farmer, Alvin Joslin, during his first
visit to New York. He falls into the
clutches of bun~co-steerers, confidence
men and others of their ilk, who are ever
on the lookout for the unwarv stranger.
AS a result. the old fellow gets into all
kinds Of scrapes and his efforts to extri.
cate himself furnish an abundance Of
fun. The plot is an interesting n and
there are several strong situations and
stirring climaxes, making the play one
of intense interest. A quantity of new
and special scenery, representing well
known localities in New York are car
ried by the company. The Grand Cen
trail Depot, Pier 70 East River showing
the famous Brooklyn Bridge by moon
light, a thieves den in Baxter Street and
a typical Bowery Concert Hall are among
the most prominent.

PETITIONS are being circulated
in many cities of the country pray
ing Congress to take such action
as will prevent the British govern
ment from buying our horses.
While our people do generally
sympathize with the Beers, it is
not to be expected that they will
deny themselves good oppor-
tunities of selling horses, and it is
unreasonable to expect Congress
to interfere in these sales which
have brought so many thousands
OF dollars to Stark and Billings
counties during the past year.

Want. coa,,ou.tioo Of Free Reno.


After reading the letter of Jeff Nc
Donald published in the PRESS Of the
25th of December, the Mandan Pioneer
says:
Mr.. Mcdonald wants a continuance of
what he and other stockmen have had
for a number of years-free range and
free hay lands. In other words, they
want to be able. with a quarter of a Sec
ton Of land on which they may have
erected their buildings, and where they
may control water, to have thousands OF
acres Of land owned bv the railroad and
the government, free to range their cat
tie on without paying for it. While it
was possible to do this while Uncle Sam
had a farm for everybody elsewhere
without coming west Of the Missouri;
while the railroad company was willing
to hold its lands and pay taxes on them,
deriving no revenue therefrom, this was
legitimate business, and worked we'll.
But those days are rapidly gliding by.
MIR. Mcdonald is feeling the pressure
from people who are looking for the
farms and ranches that Uncle Sam has
to give away, and they have as much
right there as he has. The lesson is be.
ing brought home to the men who desire
to continue in business Of stockraisinR
that they must buy the land they want &c
USE, or they are liable at any time &c
feel the pressure of those who want tc
share in the good things that the people
of North Dakota have had for many
years. No bill can be enacted in NORTH
Dakota or Washington that will give
people the right to hold Improvements
or to Craze their cattle and cut their hay
on lands they do not own.

RECENTLY it was discovered
that Indianapolis had a beggar's
trust and that one old blind fell
low was preparing to extend his
business into all the big cities of
the country. He found the fami-
lies of the city who were easy vic
Tins and printed lists of all such
and rented them At SO much per
week to the beggars. His wife
and two daughters aided him in
this work and he was making a
fine thing until the charities COM
mittee discovered that all the new
"grafters" who came to the city
made it convenient to call at the
old blind mans home, and an in
vestigation resulted in the beggar
manager and his family leaving
the city in a hurry.

ACCORDING to the sheep census
taken June I, 1900, the average
percentage Of lambs for that year
in the state was very nearly 70
per cent. which is a far better
average than is shown by many of
the states. Last year the percent
age of lambs raised was consider
ably better than that of the year
in which the census was taken and
would in all probability figure

FALLING Jar STOPPED
Baldness Cured by Destroying the Para
site Germ that Causes It

Badness follows falling hair, falling
hair follows dandruff; and dandruf is the
result of agerm digging its way into the
scalp to the root of the hair where it saps
the vitality of the hair. To destroy that
germ is to prevent as we'll as cure dan
druff, falling hair, and, lastly, badness.
There is only one preparation known to
do that, Newbro's Herpicide, an entirely
new. scientific discovery. Wherever it
has been tried it has proven wonderfully

it utterly destroys the dandruff

The copper era. (Clifton, Graham County, Ariz.) 1899-1911, 1902-09-04

There is a rumor in circulation to
the effect that everything has been
closed down at Globe. Considering
the low price of copper this is not
surprise. The last annual statement
of the Old Dominion company showed
that it cost the company - cents per
mound to make copper, and the market
is now below that point. 1t Is now a
question Of the survival of the fittest.
All companies that cannot make cop
per at present prices must shut down,
and many OF them will not resume in
many years. In this way the supply
OF copper will be regulated to suit the
demand. The Clifton-Morenci district
has nothing to fear, as copper is made
cheaper hero than at any other camp
in the territory. When Clifton shuts
down there will be no copper made in
tho southwest.

MIMBRES VALLEY
DEVASTATED,
Farms Laid Waste by Flood for
Thirty Five Miles-Many Peo-
ple Homeless.
silver City Independent

silver City Independent
The most disastrous flood which ever
visited southwestern New Mexico
swept down the fertile Mimbres river
valley, Ia the eastern part OF Grant
county, Friday night. II was attended
with one fatality. and the total loss,
taking everything into consideration,
is estimated TO be about $4,000.
Fully 80 people are destitute, and
temporary measures are being devised
for their relief. As in the case OF the
Silver City flood, a large proportion OF
the loss is irrepairable, or practically
so.
1t was more OF cloud burst than
ANYTHING else. Friday afternoon black
storm clouds gathered on each side OF
the river, in the upper section, and
about 1 o'clock met at point almost
directly over the valley. A terrlhc
down-pour of rain followed, and large
body OF water commenced running.
The storm was general in character
and extended over. a wide area oil
country. Later on the different
canons and water courses emptying in
to the Mimbres, swelled that already
overburdened stream to such an ex-
tent as to far exceed all previous high
water mark records.
1t was about o'clock in the evening
when the main body of water COM
menced to come down, and from that
time on during the greater part OF the
night the river was raging torrent,
sweeping before it everything with
which it came in contact and creating
scene of desolation.
The ranchers living along the river
we're on their guard as result OF the
preliminary flood, and when it became
apparent that it was no longer safe to
remain ia their homes, most OF them
sought refuge on high ground, where
they remained until morning. AS 1t
was. one life was lost. J. ID. Anderson,
was drowned in an effort TO save some
Of his property. He had waded dow
into comparatively deep water, when
hugh wave swept down upon him,
carving him to his death. The BODY
was recovered the following morning.
The valley in question extends for
distance OF about thirty miles along
the entire eastern portion OF the coun-
tv. On both sides of the stream dur
inc almost its entire course arc ranch
es and farms, about 10000 acres in all
being under cultivation. 1t Is the
best farming section in the county
There are perhaps fifty different ranch
properties in the valley, and out OF
this number not single owner escaped
without loss.
Persons from the valley say that the
scene beggars description What were
Golden fields of corn and grain are now
waste deposits of mud and sand, with
not a spear of vegetation in sight
Hugo boulders, uprooted trees ana all
kinds of debris are scattered about In
discriminatory, and everywhere is to
be seen the force and quantity of the
| flood waters. 1t will require tre-
mendous amount OF labor and Il large
expenditure of money to even partial
| ly restore the valley 70 its former
PROSPEROUS condition, and it will be
wears before the evidences Of Friday
disaster are completely eradicated.
