ATHENS HAS A BLAZE
BRICK LIVERY BARN DESTROY
ED BY FIRE.
Stinnett, the Man Who Shot Charley
Davis, His son-inLaw, Has
Left For Parts Un-
known.

Athens. March A.-(special.)-A disas-
the large brick livery barn of Tilman
Bros. & Phillips being destroyed. The
fire originated in the loft, and the flames
spread fast. 1t was by the hardest and
most hazardous efforts that the horses
were gotten out. The firm lost all the
vehicles. harness and provender and a
number Of buggies belonging to other peo-
pie were also destroyed. The loss will
amount to something like 5000 with in
surance sufficient to cover loss. The vol
unteer fire department of Athens rem
dered prompt and efficient service and
saved the adjoining barn and the ware
rooms of u. T. Mcdonald. But for the
fact that the fire occurred in midday the
loss would have been greater ~ the wind
was high.

LAND LEASING.

A recent press telegram states that the bill introduced into con- gress by MT. Bowersock, of Kansas, providing for leasing the public lands, is meeting with opposition so pronounced that there is no prospect for its being favorably considered by the committee. This is the bill which was advocated by the National Live Stock Associa- tion. MT. Lacey, of Iowa, chairman of the house committee on public lands, has framed bill which is thought will be reported favorably by the committee. The new meas ure has been drawn to meet the demands of the homesteaders and small cattle owners, and is a blow directed at the large cattle com panies. It provides that no lease shall be made to an incorporated company and that no leaseholders shall be allowed to lease more than 3,200 acres in one tract, and that no person shall hold more than one lease. It is urged in support of the bill that it will meet the objections made against the Bowersock bill
 by the Interior department; that it will encourage homesteading in-

But it is very easy to account for the Nogales liar.

stead of stifling the settlement of public lands.
 The large cattle companies, re- presented by the National Live Stock Association, will oppose the bill to the uttermost. It's adoption would prevent these large corpora tions from securing any leases whatever of public lands, and would force them to break up their large herds that now in many cases range over several counties.

perhaps (so he thinks) be many
 years before it will yield returns
 upon the necessary investment
 It does not require many eSnver-
 sations of that kind to bring the
 intending investor to frame of
 mind in which he turns down the
 proposition and withdraws leav-
 ing the mine owner to look else
 where for the capital. Yet had he
 been let alone and put in his
 money, in the ordinary course of
 business those who had unwilling ly dissuaded him would have
 profited by his investment.
 Another class of misguided peo- pie are those who are ever ready to convey the information that the mines in given region "don't go doaon." They have never been down to see, and why should they be so willing to say they don't to hopeful fellow who is willing to expend money to go down? Why aren't they willing to let him find out for himself? He might find something down there which would build up in their neighbor. hood big mining camp, giving employment to hundreds of men and putting into circulation hundreds of thousands of dol lars, of which the pessimists would get their fair share And if the investor finds nothing down there? It is mo hair off from the hides" of the pessimists. In fact they will be benefited in a way from the expenditure of the money he disburses in going down.
 The safe and wise rule for those living in a new and growing region is to be hopeful. Encourage the hopeful men who are trying to do which if successful will benefit the country. Speak hope fully of their enterprises. In dis cussing the enterprises leave out mention of the obstacles that have to be overcome before success is attained. The investor will in due time discover all such, and he will help overcome them, when should he be informed in advance he would not tackle the proposi- tion at all. Be hopeful yourself and encourage hopefulness in others. That's the way to build up town and region.

BE HOPEFUL.

In looking over the field of min-
 ing and commercial endeavor in
 Southern Arizona and Sonora one
 is struck with the fact that the
 really successful men in the entire
 region are men of great hope and
 confidence. In this connection it
 may not be amiss to call attention
 to the fact that much of the so- called Knocking" which has been
 lately the subject of much critic
 ism springs not so much from a
 malicious desire to injure others and their enterprises, as from a
 natural pessimism in those who do the damage. They do not intend to injure the enterprises they talk
 to death, but they always See the obstacles in the way to success, and they present them incident ally whenever discussing the en- terprise mentioned. That has a tendency to discourage the in tending investor who is visiting the region for the very purpose of deciding upon the merits of some particular proposition, whenever he chances to fall in with per son who is ready to present the hard side of proposition. In that way many really meritorious enterprises have been unwittingly given serious stabs by the residents of the country whose business con nections and property interests had either remote or direct con nection with the success of the en- terprise. An operator with a wide acquaintance in the east will get control of a good mine and will enlist eastern capital in develop ment and exploitation of the prop erty. He has counted the cost, sized up all obstacles, and by thorough study of the problem knows just how to surmount them, if he can enlist the necessary cap ital. He brings his willing in- vestors out to look at the property En route they stop q day or two at Nogales, or Tucson or Bisbee, or some other town near at hand to the property. The investors get around and make acquaint- ances among the residents. They engage them in conversation, and the very property the visitors have come to see is mentioned Mir. Pes simist admits at the outset that it is fine property, but--and then follows a long train of ob- stacles in the way of its being put upon a paying basis, and 1t will

OUR SCHOOLS CROWDED.

That Brunswick is rapidly increas-
ing in population is clearly shown by
the oyercrowded condition of the pub
lac schools. Both the primary and
grammar schools are crowded be-
yond the limit. Yesterday twenty
APPLICATIONS were made for admissions
These We're given conditional adj
mission cards, subject to vacancies.
Supt Ballard suggests that parents
of children now in school see that they
are punctual in their attendance and
and should the pupil be compelled to
be absent on account of illness or
other cause to notify the teacher at
once, and its probable duration. Also
to cooperate with the grade teacher
in every way possible to insure the
ehild's promotion. This win insure
seat next term as all children pro-
NOTED will have desks reserved for
them. Furthermore it is not the
policy of the school to continue unsat-
isfactory pupils on the roll. when
other children are awaiting admission.
Clearly the Brunswick public schools
are outgrowing their present accommo-
dations and income. The BOARD Of ed
ucation has no power to tax. They
can only use the funds given them.
Surely some means must be provided
for better accommodations and larger
appropriations for the schools or else
many children win be deprived Of
scnool facility. ),
