Cooper Boom for Congress
How About District 4ttOrDeushlD?

The Hon. Roscoe Dale's campaign in
! behalf of the Hon. William F. Cooper
for the Republican nomination FOR
Delegate to Congress is expanding
with gratifying strides.
The Phoenix Republican of yester-
day, announces the arrival of the boom
at the capital. 1t says:
!, Word came from Tucson yesterday
that that county would offer the name
Iof William f. Cooper as candidate for
the Republican nomination for Con-
gress. The Republicans of Pima county
have great faith in Cooper, for he has
had a marvellous political career there.
He came into political existence four
years ago by what seemed at the time
to be an accident
'The Republicans of Pima county
were making up a ticket with little
hope of winning. There seemed at
first no material available for the nom
lnation for district attorney The
Democrats had just nominated Frann
II. Hereford the most popular Demo
crat IN the county and liked by every
body. He was besides a successful
lawyer, and the Democratic manage
ment congratulated itself on securing
his consent to be candidate. His
father had been for several years dis
| trict attorney of the county, and that
fact alone was thought to be worth a
good many votes.
Cooper had only recently been ad-
mitted to the bar, though he had been
qualified for admission for several
years. He had been almost everything
printer, prospector, miner, editor
and stenogranher He was put on to
fill out the ticket, and not with hope
!of his election, unless he entertained
the hope himself"
There is much more of the same sort,
and all indicating that the Hon. Roscoe
Dale's eyes arc very intelligently set
for the Republican nomination for dis
trict attorney. 1t is we'll known that
there are more ways than one for kill-
ing cat. But if Cooper is candidate
for Congress he ought to say now that
he is not in the running for district
attorney.

FOOD SAVED HER.
That is the True Cure for Most Ev

A food that will help the babies and

A mother in Woonsocket, R. l., says,
Il have been a user of Grape-Nuts
Food for quite a long time but never
thought of giving it to baby, until
we had a dreadful time with her.
We tried three kinds of baby food
and condensed milk but nothing
seemed to agree with her, and at seven
months she weighed not quite 10
pounds. We were puzzled to know
what to do when one day husband
said, Do you ever try Grape-Nuts. |
thought she would throw up that food
great joy the softened food agreed
with her perfectly.
She has been using it for about five
months now and, at a year old, she
weighs 19 1-2 lbs, has eight teeth and
her flesh and little body is as firm and
round as can be- She walks from
chair to chair.
Meeting the doctor the other day
said. What do you think Of her
now?' He said She don't look like the
same baby. What do you feed her?
said 'Grape-Nuts Breakfast Food.
The proof of its value is perfectly
clear She is a wonder everyone
says that saw her some months ago.

Water Storage Question
T0nt0 Basin or San Carlos?

/ At the Maricopa county Democratic
convention Colonel Wilson pledged
himself, if elected Delegate to Con.
gress, to have the Tonto Basin pre-.
ferred for the first work of the govern
ment for water storage in Arizona
At the Pima county Democratic
convention, held yesterday, the follow
ing resolution was adopted:
I'VE rejoice that the government has
at last complied with the demands of
the representatives in Congress from
the western States and Territories, and
will now establish reservoirs for the
irrigation and reclamation of our
broad plains and beautiful valleys,
which will ere long be the abiding
places of thousands of thrifty farmers
and the homes of happy families. The
part performed by our Delegate in
Congress in bringing about the above
results is commendable.
Pima county has within her borders
many sites for the location of rese~-
volrs, with thousands of acres of land
which would be as productive under
irrigation as any in the world, adja-
cent to such site ), but as much as We
desire the location of such reservoirs
within our county we consider that It
would be unwise to demand at this
time the building of a reservoir at any
OF the sites in Pima county, inasmuch
as San Carlos was chosen and desig-
mated by our representatives in Con-
gress as the place in this Territory for
the first reservoir. To change from
that point now to any other would
jeunardiZe our chances of securing the
construction of any reservoir. The
Democratic party is opposed to class
legislation. No representative has the
right to work for the enactment of a
law that will favor one part of his
district to the injury of the people of
other parts thereof. Eight of the
thirteen counties of the Territory are
equally interested in the construction
of reservoirs, and the people of no one
OF these counties have the right to ex-
pect or demand the services of the Del
egate in behalf of such county and to
the injury of any other, and no appli-
cant for the nomination for Delegate
should be compelled or even asked to
so pledge himself, and if he should 50
pledge himself it would be his duty to
violate such an un-Democratic agree
ment."

The Kind of Work Dene by
PAINE'S CELERY
COMPOUND
Mrs. Mary Hickey, of South
SOdus,N. Y, Had rheumatism
So Bad She Could Not Walk.
Had to Be Wheeled About the
House in an InvaIid'S
Chair.
The Use of the Never-Disapp oint-
ing Rheumatism-Banisher
Cured Her.

True merit, prompt and effective re-
suits, and astonishing cures have given
Paine's Celery Compound a position on
the highest round Of the ladder of fame
Paine's Celery Compound is today the
only spring medicine asked for and
bought by thoughotful and discerning
people. For the treatment OF serious dis
eases, such as rheumatism, neuralgia.
nervous disorders, and blood troubles,
Paine's Celery Compound has no equal.
The credit Of Paine's Celery Compound
has advanced TO such a high eminence
that amongst the millions who use it,
we find the names of miliionaires, bank
ers, professional men. wealthy merchants
and women Of note. All have made it
their chosen remedy for the cure of
chronic diseases and for the banish-
ment Of the little ailments that often
make life miserable.
Paine's Celery Compound, in the opinion
of the leading druggists and physicians,
has displaced nearly all the common ad-
vertised medicines OF the day. This
great work has been accomplished only
by merit and genuine cures. Rheuma-
tism, neuralgia, and nervous disorders
take flight in springtime when Paine's
Celery Compound is used for time.
Why delay the work of health building
when such a life siver is within your
reach? Test its efficacy this very day.
Mrs. Hickey, happy and grateful for
the astonishing results derived from
Paiae's Celery Compound, new nerve
fibre, nerve force, fresh energy, aud
vitality, writes US
For nearly thirty years I have been
an invalid. caused by that terrible dis
ease. rheumatism. For six years 1
could not walk without the help of
friends. All my joints were sits, and I
had to be wheeled about the house in
an invalid's chair. Physicians medicines,
baths etc, etc, were all in vain, bat
Paine's Celery Compound practically
cured me, and I am now able to walk
around and do my housework.'

APPEAL MADE
To ROOSEVELT
FROM LAWT0N
People are Suffering for Better
Roads and Bridges.
THEY WANT SALE MONEY
And Ask the President to Urge
Its Payment.
THEY WANT SALE MONEY

Lawton, O. T, Nay 16.-The following
letter has been sent to President Reose-
welt by Secretary Shabert, Of the Com
mercial Club, and he also mailed cof1es
of the same TO Dennis T. Flynn, Cover
nor T. B. Ferguson and President Sam
Strauss, of the county commissioners.
If this does not bring some Of the
money from the lot sale it is about as
well to quit and wait the action of the
''red tape" bureau:
To the Honorable President Of the Unit
ed States, Washington, .. c.:
Dear Sir: The Lawton Commercial
Club. in regular session, assembled, con-
sidered the question Of obtaining relief in
our present needs for good roads and
bridges.
over s4sO. 900 was realized from the sale
OF lots In the townsite Of Lawton, which
was to be appropriated TO the benefit Of
the city and county. but net one dollar of
which has been received.
.Requisitions have been made and ap-
proved by the county commissioners and
forwarded to the governor for his appro-
val for the construction Of the more
needy bridges, nineteen in number, not
one Of which, however, has been allowed.
"Comanche county, with a population
of $500 asks your honorable assistance
in securing at least part Of the funds
now to its credit in Washington.
Numerous letters have been sent to
the honorable secretary of the interior
by the citizens Of Lawton and tax payers
of the county appealing to him to give US
which time inconvenience have been
suffered. the department and honorable
secretary Of the interior have been con-
demned and yet no relief.
Following heavy rains the creeks are
impassable, lives are endangered and
much stock has been lost. much loss
has been sustained by the merchants and
the farmer and the homesteader has been
deprived of the necessaries OF life owing
10 the inability to reach a trading post
'eOne dollar now would do more good
than four dollars year hence.
The sanitary condition of Lawton is in
q deplorable shape, and the wafer sup
ply is limited ana a poor quality. and
until the tax levy has been made and
collected there is not one dollar I'm the
county or city treasury with which 10
make public improvements
As we understand it. the act of con-
gress intended that the money derived
from the sale OF lots was 10 be expended
for the benefit of the city and county
during the first year and until the tax
levy could be made. With l0esl people
in the city of Iawton praying for re-
lief. and 1900 more throughout the
county it does seem to US that we should
be entitled TO at least a part of the money
due Us. There may be good reasons why
this money is withheld. but as yet VIC
have been unable TO obtain a satisfactory
explanation.
I'VE would thank you and pray YOU
kindly listen TO our appeal and If relief
cannot be given us. at least a good rea-
son why the same should not be forth
coming. Very respectfully yours.
