Beautiful Women.

Plump cheeks, flushed with the soft glow of health and pure complexion, make all woman beautiful. Take a small dose of Heroine after each meal; it will prevent constipation and help digest what you have eaten. 0Oc Mrs. Wm. M. Stroud, Midlothian, Texas, writes, May 3l, 1901; "We have used Heroine in our family for eight years, and found it the best medicine We ever used for constipation, bilious fever and malaria" For sale at J. Heubner's Drug Store.

If ever class of men were long sui fering. it is the small claim owners at Nome. After all the trouble they have had in the past with corporations who have gobbled up whole creeks, with little or no regard for the rights of the individual owners, now come the feder- al officers covering everything in sight with blanket locations. On investl- eating recent records correspondent of the Seattle Times found that the biggest jumpers Tn the peninsula are marty of lawyers, headed by John l.. McCiinn, twice acting district attorney there. and who is understood to be Judpe Moore's candidate for district attorney if Col. Grigsby can be busted. Mir. McGinu's associates in wholesale jumping are Tom White, eX-deputy re- corder; Landers, court house em- ploye: H. Y. Freedman, Joseph T. Bee man and M. J. Sullivan, lawyers prac- ticing in Nome. Without visiting the ground these men have located fifty one tracts of 16O acres each, making total of over 5000 acres. Their recorded maps show that their agents, Fay and Monroe, stuck in their stakes, olock after block, from Cripple River rlght down the coast toward Nome River, and in many instances they have put their stakes rightin the midst of claims where owners are living on the ground.
 When an indignant claim owner asked Judge Moore if he was aware ot John L. McGinn's wholesale claim-jumping he said:
 "If McGinn has put any stakes on your claim it is because you did not do your assessment work"
 The judge was assured very emphat ically that the assessment work had been done and recorded, whereupon he replied: >
 "I cannot believe it. If there is an honest man in Alaska it is McGlnn. All the same, if you can come here and show that your assessment work was done, you will get justice in this court"
 The claim owners, however, take different view of the matter. One of them said:
 "My partner and l own forty acres. This is deep digging and we have put in three years work developing them. We are beginning to take out money now, but we are too poor to buck against a gang of lawyers and court house officials. Litigation costs them practically nothing, and it is an out rage that McGinn or any other lawyer should be able to jump my claim Wlth- out setting foot on the ground"

each year, and returns to the nation more than thirteen billion dollars worth of goods manufactured. Our minds are, of course, utterly incapable of seizing the meaning of such figures as s13,00O, ,0O0,000. IL will help you to req ize what this means if you are told that in five years the output of the factories of this nation equals in value all of the real estate and all of the per sonal property of the United States as reported by the census of 1890. In other words. if you can imagine one man owning all of the land and all oi the personal property in the United States, and also owning the factories the factories would grind out for him every five years a property equal in value to the entire United States, land stocks and everything else included.
 To give you an idea of the rapidity of this country's growth, it is worth mentioning that while the product oi our manufactures in 1900 was more than thirteen billions, it was in 1890 only nine billions, in 1880 only i've bill lions. and in 1850 only one billion.
 What will the wealth of this nation be one hundred years from now?
 What will be the wealth of the bill lonaries of that day. if America shall then allow them, as it allows them now, to absorb the surplus of this great wealth, instead of dividing it among the people.
 The United States has so radily passed the other nations of the world that the recital of cold statistics sounds like the bragging of drunkard. 4 hundred thousand men were employed on the pyramids. More than a million men are employed on our railroads. Our thirtynine thousand locomotives piled up would equal three great pyra mids. and our fifteen hundred thousand freight cars forty-two great pyramids. How the old Egyptian king would stare to see a young republic that could haul his great pyramid away forty-two times in one hour. if he would under take to do the loading.

OUR GREATNESS.

In an editorial last Sunday morning the American calls attention to the greatness of this country, for the pur- pose of showing that while the country is prosperous almost beyond the real ization of the human mind. still that prosperity is not fairly distributed among the citizens:
 To read the reports of the twelfth census. which describes American in. dustrues at the end of this last cen tury, is like wading through some mon strous fairy tale of impossible absurd ities
 There are in this country more than five hundred thousand separate manu facturing establishments. which em. ploy more than five million of me chanics and other wage earners. be sides about four hundred thousand off cers and clerks. This great national machinery chews upr more than seven billion dollars worth of raw materia. S

dollars to him for expenses, in the ex- penditure of which no other account or vouchers should be required further than a receipt to the auditor for the money. It was so palpable that the object of this law was to enable a governor to loot the treasury that Gov ernor Brodie, when he became gov ernor, refused to touch the money, and called attention to the reckless iegisla- ton in his recent message.
 All these things have become known to the people of Arizona, who shud- dered in alarm when it became known that Ives was again to become presi dent of the council. They are now re- joicing that the council contained a few sturdy, conscientious men who re- fused to allow Ives or any one else to do their thinking. If Ives had been allowed to run things, as he did two years ago, there is no telling what might have happened. The legisla- lure two years ago, by it's eXtrava- gance, increased the tax levy 35 cents on the $100 valuation. Ives was the acknowledged leader in that ,extrava- gance, and the people of Arizona are to be congratulated that his leading strings were severed in the session just closed.

OKLAHOMA BACHELORS.

We cannot but sympathiZe with the Oklahoma bachelor; he is being con
 tinually jibed by the press because he
 has not made preparations for raising family in that land of promise, as he
 has prepared to raise wheat and corn;
 family products are equally as neces- sary and important to the well-being of new country as soil products. But the Oklahoma bachelor resents what he declares to be an unjust criticism, and ayers that the reason be has not embarked in the matrimonial enter prise is because there are no girls to marry in that part of the world. He pleads that there are precious few women of marriageable age who are sensible, industrious and, as advertise ments read, not afraid of hard work. :"
 One young man out there has writ ten to a paper and stated the bach | elor's case with no little asperity. He says:
 Girls out here of marriageable age that are of any account are very few indeed. It is almost easier to find a
 pin in haystack than to find one.
 What is to become of the bachelors of
 western Oklahoma? Must they sell out or continue to live the miserable life they are at present living? A mem Der of the Kansas legislature would say, tax they $50 year. Would you tax a man for what he cannot help? Give them a chance to marry the right kind of women and see if they will no& readily respond 10 it. Then the abodes that have been formerly summed will be stunned no more. Then the houses where people in the past hare always refused to partake of hospital ity will be refused no more. Then the society of a community will be infused with such new life, new joy, that even the very hills around us will break forth in anthems of praise as they see
 men and women living the life that God intended they should live when he said; It is not good for man to be alone"
 It does seem a shame for so many nice young men to be doomed to dreary, lonely lives just because the right kind of woman" won't go to Oklahoma to rescue him from his un- happy lot
 The Oklahoma young men are rich in prospects, and many huge fortune is theirs-to make-but it will be a little time before they will realize their dreams. And just now, when they are struggling with comparative poverty and are enduring the hardships Of pi- oneer life, path-blazing and all that they want loving, helpful helpmeets to make the way seem less irksome and the time to pass more pleasantly.
 No girl giving themselves airs. who scorn to go to the kitchen and pitch in with a will, need apply in Oklahoma. And sad it is, according to recent re- ports from that territory, it is the downright useless. lazy, trifiing young woman who appears to find her way out there, evidently, considering her self suitable life-companion for the hard-working Oklahoma man with a bright future but not a luxurious nor alluring present

HOLD UP ITS NAME.

The legislature of Arizona has done well this year.
 There is always large number of people in Phoenix who try to knock the members of the legislature. This is he case in every capital of every state n the union. but the knockers seem unusually pestiferous in Phoenix. They make big ta k about poodle and bri- )ery." and in every way possible at
 empt to besmirch the legislative record.
 The editor of the Enterprise has been present at every session of the house this year, and he knows all the members personally. They are ali honest, fair-minded men, and have act ed from the purest motives. Any other assertion is an infamous slaAder. They have had their differences on i'm, portant measures. and have fought their battle like men in a straight forward, open manner. There has been no money spent by any man or corporation for any purpose with the members of this legislature. Ii any man had made an attempt 10 bribs any egislaor he would have been exposed, prosecuted and sent to the peniten' tiary This is the plain, honest truth. and any talk to the contrary should be frowned down by every patriotic citi- zen of the territory. in short, the Enterprise demands that justice be done this legislature and that stop be put to all this hot air talk about the legislature of Arizona being easy to buy. There have been some bills passed that did not suit this paper, and other bills have been defeated that ought to have been passed, but there has been a firm, consistent effort to keep the party pledges and enact wholesome legislation. If this has not been done to the satisfaction Of the people it is not the fault of the legisla- tors. They have been conservative, and exercised their best judgment, and any one who is familiar with their record knows this.
 Hereafter, let us hold up the honor and good name of the Arizona legisia- ture.-Phoenix Enterprise.

THE OPPOSED LEADER.

It is not strange that Senator Ives should show some irritability because of the fact that in the legislature just adjourned he found himself shorn of his leadership. A leader is a man in whom his party associates, and the people behind them, have confidence and respect. not only for his abality, but for his sincerity and honesty of purpose in his every act. The people of Arizona believe that Mir. Ives is one of the shrewdest politicians in Arizopa; 1; there are many shrewd pCll,icians, however, in whom the public has but little confidence. Mir. Ives. in assum- ing to be the dictator over such a man as Hon. B. A. Packard. simply was up against the wrong man, ana he might rave and rant. and pour forth his vit'l- porous denunciation until the second coming Of the Savior, aC', he could never budge "Old Pack Neither will the political gymnastics of rhe Yuma county statesman avail in dim ming the honor and-respect with which Hr. Packard is held in Cochise county, or in the territory of Arizona.
 It is well that Mir. Ives was not given free rein in the twenty-second legisla- .ure as be was in the twenty-hrs legis- Iature. The record of the twenty-frst was one which gagged the territory, and ever since It's adjournment there has been positive belief that MT. Ives was guilty of demagoguery, and dema- goguery is something that the people will not stand for Since the adjourn ment of the twenty-first legislature MT. Ives has never had the confidence of the people of Arizona. He ras not got it now, and no amount of red-fire sratory will bring it to him. He will find as he grows older that the people sf Arizona are not to be blinded by blatant balderdash. no matter how thick it may be coated with eloquence Yr. Packard of Cocbise and MT. Rice of Graham need not lose any sleep be- cause they have been tabooed by Sen ator Ives. That individual is power Less to do harm to any one in Ari- 2ona. He has been rated only as wind-iammer for many moons, and wind tanning. with notorious dema- goguery behind it, will not cut any ice in Arizona
 In his vicious assault on B. A. Pack ard he has earned the contempt of all who know Packard and who so know Ives. His attack on Packard is of the same character as his attack on Gov ernor Murphy during the session of the twenty legislature; both were made to attract attention to Ives and give him notoriety
 After Investigating Murphy. by com mittee of which he was the head, and denouncing the governor and auditor as a band of thieves. the Tammany man, after a night off, with Murphy. began a vigorous use of whitewash, before the final end of the session came, with the result that both Murphy and Vickers were given certificates of good character, so far as Ives and the council were concverned. When Mur phy sent the name of Vickers to the council for re-appointment to the office of auditor. the nomination was con- frmed without dissenting voice. But Mir Ives went further in making amends to the governor, by supporting a bill appropriating fifteen hundred
