Next week the Rocky Ford Tribune
changes hands. j. W. Bowman. late Of
the Manzanola Sun has purchased the
plant and paper. The Enterprise well
comes Mr.. Bowman into the newspaper
field in Rocky Ford. When conducting
the Sun MIR. Bowman showed ability in
newspaper work and he will doubtless
make steady success Of the Tribune.
We have no intimation Of Mr. Alexander's s
intentions for the future but can safely
predict that he will be in the newspaper
business again in few months. The
editorial profession puts into the eonsti-
tuition a sort Of virus, so to speak, that is
eliminated from the system only by death.

HITTING THE HIGH PLACES
". H. Somers Throwing Dust Others
 Who Will Paw the Air.

w H. Somers, the actor who pro- poses to travel around the world on a wager starting without funds. is now hitting the grit. Fearful that some one might think he had a check book or a roll of bills hid out to help him along on a sunshiny day, he enlisted the service of the Phoenix police force in the conduct of a search for wealth. The Phoenix police can go through man quicker than anything in town except lightning, and they went through Somers, up. down and cross wise. They jumped at the chance, for they thought he had at least the price of the soda waters Somers, but he didn't
 At o'clock he began trimming off the frazzled edge of that 25.OOO mile jaunt along the Tempe road and its eastern connections. He was escorted some distance along the Tempe road by his lady friends, but the day was so hot they got cold feet before going very far. The first chunk of trail that will be thrown into the discard lies between here and MariCopa. He proposes to cover this with human pedal motors. having a fire equipment but from Maricopa eastward he will see what use can be made of rolling stock and corporation steel, providing MT. Harri- man and his hired men don't work too close up to the eternal vigilance prov erb.
 Thence his route has been outlined in a general way. No further attempt will be made in that line at this time. Arranging the time table of a "broke' man is rather uncertain business. and outside of weather bureau forecasters and turf spectators there are few who would care to undertake the job. And even the man who plays the races would spar for a pencentage in the pools. It is predicted, though, that long before MT. Somers gets to Kan sas he will find places wbere it is a long walk between fivc-cent beers, but on second thought it is just as easy for broke man to butt in and get a five-Cent beer as it Is a fifteen-cent high ball. In view of the fact that Mir. Somers could not offer financial in ducements sufficiently strong to secure the services of a private secretary. he has decided to act as his own press agent and promises to keep Phoenix posted on his wherea bouts if he has any.
 This recalls that a Douglas pa- per reaching here yesterday announces that Stuart F. Forbes of that city is billed for similar trip next spring, only it will be entirely different MT. Forbes expects to be the guest of Professor John F.. Baldwin or Logans- port.

A PRIMITIVE METHOD.

Baker City has returned to the primi-

states, probably through mis-informa-
tion, that vigilante committee is being
organized and directed by the peace Of
ficers OF the city and county, two deputy
sheriffs taking leading part.
The Monday evening edition of the
Herald makes the following call to arms
"All citizens who are interested in the
movement are requested to meet tonight
at the Court House, TO either join in the
raid or suggest a course of action"

The lessons of the rate war between
the steamers plying the Columbia from
The Dalles to Portland were well learn
ed in Astoria. More that two years ex-
perience taught that the larger city
benefited and the smaller suffered. The
tendency to go to the larger cities to
do shopping, far-reaching, and prac-
ticed even by the families of business
men who should be more patriotic, is
encouraged by these low rates. People
will find an excuse to go to Portland,
under those circumstances, and money
belonging by all the equities of local
commerce is diverted. The Dalies peo-
pie should discourage this rate war and
thereby bring about a speedy settle
ment of the differences.
