WHERE IS HE?
information Regarding Karl kurtz
is Much Desired.

Karl Kurtz, a German miner of
medium height, with dark complexion
and black moustache, left this Sec
tion severl years ago and went to Cal
ifornai. lie is thought to have a
ranch there. He formerly owned
some good mining properties here and
friend of his has some good infor-
nation for him, if he can be found.
He was jolly companion, being
rather talkative, but never saying
much about his own history. If he
can be located it will be we'll for him.
He sometimes prospected and some
times ranched, and, in fact, took hold
of any scheme that looked good to
him. He was last seen in Phoenix,
Arizona, about two years ago.
In talking with him one could not
help but notice that he had a great
deal of gold in his front teeth. 1t is
feared by his friends that he is dead.
Any newspaper that will publish an
advertisement that will locate him
will be rewarded for its trouble by
communicating with this Office

PUSHING PRELIMINARY WORK
Construction of the TOntO Irrigation
Works no Longer a Matter of
Doubt.


A. z. Davis, of geological survey,
supervising engineer of the govern
ment irrigation work in the west, has
been in and out of Globe several times
during the week. The construction
of the Tonto dam will engage the
greater portion of his time until the
gigantic project is completed MIR.
Davis headquarters are in Phoenix
but he will have to make frequent
trips to the reservoir site, passing
through Globe on his way in aud out.
Mr.. Davis stated that while word
has not yet been received of the final
approval of the Tonto project by
Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock,
there was no doubt of the determine
alton of the government to engage in
this work, as the first great undertake
ing, offering the hest chances of sue
cess, under the national irrigation law.
Already there is force of one hun
dred men employed in road making,
which is to be increased to one hun
dred and fifty within the next two
weeks. Bids are being advertised for for
furnishing and erecting steel and TIM
Der mill building for Portland cement
plant, requiring about eighty tons of
structural steel and iron, on Salt river,
at the mouth of Tonto creek. Bids
are also invited for the construction of
the telephone from the reservoir site to
Phoenix
The first important work to be
started will be the construction of the
power canal, sixteen miles in length,
the contracts for which will probably
be let by November l. This will be a
costly piece of work and will require
about eight months for its completion.
Construction of the dam will not
begin until a year from next Septem-
Der or October, or until after the sum-
mer rainy season. By that time the
electric power plant will have been iu-
stalled and the cement works will be
in operation.
1t is apparent from the magnitude
OF the enterprise that enormous guam
titles of material and supplies of va
rious kinds will be required to be
brought in during the period of con-
struction, which will not be less than
four years. For example, Mr.. Davis
has stated that 100000 pounds of
fuel oil will be needed and approxi-
mately the same amount of groceries,
iron and steel, and other supplies. As
before stated in these columns every
pound of freight for the Tonto project
must pass through Globe.
Engineer Louis G. Hill, who has
been stationed in Colorado for some
time past, arrived here last night en-
route to the reservoir site to person
ally superintend the work, under the
direction of Mr.. Davis.-Globe Times.

An Apoloxx OF War Time.

The story Of the old brick church in
Fairfield county, South Carolina, where
in 1903, the Associated Reformed Pres
byterian Synod of the Carolinas was
organized. has found its way into
northern papers. The object of this
paragraph Is mainly to set forth the
fact indicated in the first sentence and
to refer to the lesson of the legend on
the door-facing. This inscription. as
those familiar with the old church
know. runs about as follows:
Citizens Of This community; Please
excuse us for defacing your house of
worship so much. 1t was absolutely
necessary to effect a crossing over the
creek. as the Rebs destroyed the
bridge"
This legend was signed simply, "a
Yankee" The occasion for it was
found in the fact that>she pews, floor
ing and sleepers had been brought into
requisitiOn to construct bridge by
which the Federal troops might be en-
abled to cross Little river, the Con-
federates, as stated, having there de-
stroyed what is known as Kincaids
bridge. The legend and the delicate
feeling which prompted its inscription
have in them lesson Of particular
and appropriate interest these days,
since they reveal. as the New York
Times puts 1t, ''the existence, even in
the worst of the other days, of feelings
that led naturally to reconciliatio0. :"

ment. Michigan Infantry, and his ex-
treme youthfulness, together with his
bravery under fire at the battle of

a commission secured for him in the
regular army-a fact that the general

mention Of 1t thirty years ago, have
not seen reference to it in many

gade saw the little fellow in the thick

See what. that child is doing there
on the firing line'-Clem was little
fellow. even for his age-'and send him
to the rear
The order was obeyed, but Johnny
couldn't be kept at the rear, and he

his best with gun that weighed al

The grain markets, those
centers of instability. of le-
Ultimate trade and specula-
Chicago.

! gitimate trade and specula-
tive activity, have been attracting wide
attention during the past week. Prices
of all cereals have been fuctuating over
widening ranges, with the trend continu-
ously upward, until new high figures for
the crop year have been recorded all
around, while in wheat the price levels
are higher than for several years.
At intervals of three or four years the
Northwest usually strikes into period
of nervousness over the crop outlook, and
this will in all likelihood be witnessed
again if no good rains fall by the mid
die of next week. The speculative ele-
ment in grain, always on the alert for
the possible development of any factor
affecting values, is given to anticipating
in an extraordinary degree, and upon the
firt faint indication of the rise of an in
fiuence of an adverse nature respecting
the crop, is to be found operating accord
ingly. The fact that it is the business
of speculation to discount the future,
finds nowhere more forcible illustration
than in the grain trade.
1t is not to be denied that the bulls in
the present campaign have had basis
upon which to build up prices, for it has
been dry all over the Northwest for some
time. Without doubt there has been no
damage done anywhere that is worth con-
sidering relative to the crop as whole,
and there is probably no important dis
trict in the three States where there is
any such deterioration as to cause alarm.

"Grant's Luck"

Of General Lee. 1 remember well the
event of General Grants return after
the surrender. 1 think there were not
more than three persons present when
the general came in and took a seat
at table to write. He looked up with
some expression of animation, and re-
marked:
More Of Grants luck!"
This was an allusion to the news
paper critics who had been in the
habit of calling his success luck.

of Lee was the only word OF exulta-
