Wsellrsvsers' Meet.

A meeting of the sheepraisers was held at the courthouse Wednesday, for the purpose of slotting the range in the San Francisco Mountain Forest reserve for the ensuing year. The meeting was called by the Woolgrow- ers' association, at the suggestion of Forest Supervisor Breen, in accord ance with an order from the depart ment requiring all sheep grazing per- mits to be filed with the supervisor by January l, 1903. There was no diffi- culty in the assigning of the range satisfactorily to each sheep owner.
 The meeting was of importance to the woolgrowers' and there was large attendance. Among those in attend ance were J. X. Woods, K. A. Saw yer, Colin Campbell, Richard Hart and N. s. Bly of Winslow; Cap P. Smith, T. J. Evan, c. c. Hutchison, Gus Reimer and E. B. Perrin Jr. of Will Hams; Harry Henderson, l.. D. Yea ger, c. J. Rabbit, E. s. Gosney, c. H. Schulz, H. E. Campbell and D. M. Francis of Flagstaff.
 The woolgrowers' are expecting a prosperous year. The rain and snow- fall of the past two months assures them of good grass and plenty of water during the coming season.

JOHNSON ASKS FOR WATER
Tor the Navajo Indians. and the Cemmls- siener Recommends . $5O0O Ap-
 preprlatiom for lrrllatlou.

Rev. w. R. Johnson, who has a Mission on the Little Colorado river and is trying to induce the Navajo In- dians to work, has been in Washing ton, with a number of the tribe for several weeks, trying to get the gov ernment interested in his work. He has evidently succeeded, judging from the following press report:
 "Mr. w. A. Jones, commissioner of Indian affairs, has recommended the appropriation of s5OOO by the secre- tary of the interior from the general irrigation fund for the relief of the Navajo Indians in Arizona, who want to work, but who have been rendered almost destitute by several successive crop failures.
 "Several hundred of these Navajos live on tract of land embracing some twenty townships in southwest Ari- zona, that was withdrawn from settle ment for their benefit several years ago. They are sheep raisers and man. ufacture their wool into famous Nava- jo blankets. The white men settled in the river valleys west of the Indians and refused to allow their herds to run to the river. As a result hundreds of fine sheep belonging to the tribe died of thirst.
 ''The Indians who have a delegation in Washington, state that they do not want ratiOns delivered to them. They only ask that they be given water for their herds and their farms. They have presented plans which show that an expenditure of about $50OO in the construction of an irrigation ditch from the Little Colorado river will furnish them water for their herds and for irrigating several thousand acres of farm lands. Commissioner Jones recommended the appropriation and will also recommend the work of build ing the ditches shall be performed by the Indians, the government furnish ing them blows, scrapers and tools for the work. It is expected that the sec retary of the interior will approve the recommendations of the commis- siOner."

A Coed Game.

The first football game ever played in Northern Aarizona, was a contest at the Milton grounds between the Ma tional Guard and Mill teams on New Years day. Despite raw wind and damp ground large crowd of enthusiastic spectators braved the ele- ments to enjoy the sport.
 The Mill boys won the toss-up and chose the northeast goal, the favOrite of the goals. Merino, for the Mill team made a splendid kickoff, but the ball dropped into the strong clutches of the line men of the Guards, and was taken back for gain before the first down. Both teams played a rapid, snappy game, but the Guard boys from the start showed superior train ing and better team work. The ball was taken for slow but sure gains by the Guards to within twenty feet of the mill goal, when, by an accident to Boone, the Guards half-back, the ball was dropped in scrimmage and picked up by two of the Mill team who were out of play, and safely carried for touchdown for 3O0-foot run by Sheehan and De Chain. Merino made a nice goal kick for the Mill boys, making the score for the half, to O.. In the second half both teams worked hard and every point to be gained was sought for. Dakan kicked-off for the Guards, and made one of the longest and prettiest kicks ever witnessed on a gridiron. A heavy wind was blow ing at the time, and the ball was car ried into foul territory.

ond kick by Dakan, the ball dropped into fair territory among the halves of the Mill team, but by rapid forward work of the Guards, was held for 8 down almost where the ball dropped of kick. It was here that the Guards showed the better mettle of the teams, and with rapid, hard and well-directed plays, carried the ball for sure gains to a touchdown on the side lines of the Mill goal. Marsh, for the Guards, failed to kick goal. A bad wind was blowing at the time, and with a side kick, the task of making goal at this time, would have been a failure even by professional. This made the score to 5 in favor of the Mill. The balance of this half the Guard boys indulged in some good work but failed to make any further scores, the ball gaining but twenty feet in the Mill territory, when the umpire whistled for closing. Altogether, the work of both teams was good, but the playing atthe outstart, and allthrough the game, showed better team work, mass plays, end runs and generalship for the Guard boys. Happily for all, not man on either team was seriously hurt. Brown, as umpire, Powers, as referee, and Pollock, as timekeeper, made excellent, fair and impartial of ficials. The Guard boys have chal- lenged the Mill team for another game. The Mill boys have not as yet accepted the challenge, but it is hoped by the lovers of the sport that game can be had at an early day.

Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1903-10-23

THE National Civic Federation held con.
ference in Chicago the latter part OF last week.
Mark Hanna presided on Friday. He spoke of
the importance of the work engaged in, and
the success in bringing together capital aud
labor. Much, he said, was due to the couserv.
atve element of labor organizations. He ex.
pressed hope for the future, and said that mem.
bers of the federation who at first were reluc-
tantant to join were now the most active work
ers Since his connection with an Ohio strike
thirty years ago, he said, he had made up his
mind there was way to settle difficulties. The
future OF success in the industrial world, the
Senator said, would be largely guided by the
Civic Federation movement, which was started
four years ago. The duty of employers is
greater than that OF the employees, and the
work of conciliation was the great work to be
done. In all great difficulties, political or 9th
erwise, compromise is the only thing to bring
success. The work of the federation is, he
said, work of education, and he added that
patience is required in the work for the good OF
our fellow men, individually and for society as
a whole.

Humiliation Complete.
From the Southwestern Grain Journal

From the Southwestern Grain Journal
The argument on the motion to dismiss the
complaint of the cattemen before the Kansas
board of railraoad commissioners, as reported
in the Topeka Capital of Thursday, Sept. I'D,
should make every loyal American feel like
kicking himself when confessng he is Kan
san. The Rock Island attorney, M. A. Low,
in his argument, boldly aud de6antly asserted
that:
sThere is nothing in the law whatever al
lowing the board to make schedule of rates.
making of the law"
What do you say to this, you Kansas fellows,
who prate so much on being independent and
free? Do you permit your representatives in
the legislature to pass laws for the control of
corporations; laws that these same corporations
desire passed; laws which were inspired and
written by their attorneys, and then expect
these laws to protect the people from corporate
aggression and greed? If so, what kind of
law to regulate gambling would you expect if
prominent gamblers should have ''something
to do with the making of an arti-g gambling
law?
What kind of law to punish stealing would
you expect if, ia its making, confirmed thief
should have master part?
Suppose you permit the jointists to draw up
law to enforce prohibition. How many Kan
sas jointsts would ever see the inside of Jail?
And yet, with unconcern seemingly beyond
belief, you permit railroad attorneys to draw up
the bills for the alleged protection of the peo-
pie from corporate greed, and then have your
own legislative servants enact these bills into
laws without question! The frank and pub
lie admission OF Mr.. Low shows how careless
and defiant of public opinion railroad officials
have become, and that corporations, in the
language of Louis XVI, 'are the state.'

PUBLIC AND PRIVATE LIGHTS.
Relative Cost.

From the Tndustr Il Free Press Winfield.
1t may be interesting to know that our neigh
Dor city, Wellington, has been able, ever since
the city owned its electric lighting plant, to
make it pay all operating expense from what it
received from the citizens for commercial light
ing, and this at very1low rate, light costing
those using it from rs to so per cent of what
gas has formerly cost. Lights are being put
in rapidly, and it is believed that it will do bet
ter in the future. The city is we'll lighted with
street lights which cost the city nothing but
interest on the $2o,o the plant cost, and de-
probation of the plant.
This, as compared with the cost to Winfield
of its street lights is interesting. Should gas
be found here to use for fuel, the principal
item of expense will be eliminated. Many
who are competent judges claim that there is
enough gas in we'll No. to run the plant.
It costs the city of Winfield between 81, 200
and 81, 900 each year for lights. Public light
ing is always cheaper and better than private.
The following comparisons are fair samples,
and will certainly be of interest in this connec-
tion

Funston Files Report.

Gen. Fred Funston, in his report on the de-
partment Of the Columbia, gives a general
review of the conditions existing in the de.
partment which includes the Pacific northwest
and Alaska. AS the result of personal tour
of Alaska during the summer, General Funston
suggests that different station be found for
the troops at Valdez because mountain two
thousand feet high lies just south of the post,
which shuts off the sun for large portion OF
the day. At Fort Egbert, which is near the
Arctic circle, he found that the officers had a
cultivated garden, in which they raised their
own vegetables. He says that the question of
maintaining all the military posts in Alaska is
one "requiring more knowledge of the policy
and intentions of the government than is vouch-
safed department commander before it can be
inteligently dealt with" At four of the posts
on the military telegraph line, all the available
force is needed to maintain the line. He rec
ommends that Fort Davis, near Nome, be
abandoned, as military authority is not needed
there. The people of the community, num-
bering about 10000, are not turbulent, and
most of them, in case of necessity, could be
callet. upon fo support the civil authorities.
General Funston recommends that large tract
of land at American Lake, near Tacoma,
Wash, be acquired for the purpose of drill
ground and camp for concentration in case of
war.

his wife, the mother of his eleven children,
had to keep the temporal machinery in good
running order. We think she deserves mem
orial quite as much as he does.-Boston

But the biographer was in error, evidently.
The fact that he was the father of eleven chill.
dren proves that he did entangle himself with
the affairs of this life. We believe, with the
Transcript, that the wife and mother deserves

United States Won in Alaska Boundary Contest

Unlte0 States won IN Alaska boundary contest
Last Saturdays dispatches state that the
Alaskan boundary commission has agreed 10
grant all the American contentious except that
for the Portland canal, which goes to Canada.
The decision, while it gives Canada the Port
land canal, gives the United States all the in
land coast line. Had Canada won, it would
have secured port on the Lynn canal, and
could have reached the open ocean in other
ways without passing through United States
territory. America held that Portland canal is
southern boundary of Alaska territory, but
the decision gives Canada 10th sides of the
canal. The decision puts Dyea and Skagway
in Alaska, and gives the United States the con-
troll of the White and Chilcoot passes, which
are the outlet from the Klondike.
Canada is greatly disappointed at the decision.

Fuel Situation Becoming Alarming in Kansas.

From the Industrial Free Press, Winfield
Mayor w. o. johnson returned from Kansas
City, Thursday, where ne had been to look up
the coal situation, which he considered was be.
coming alarming.
"Few people have any idea of the coal stu.
alton in Kansas" said Mr.. johnson to re.
porter. "The whole state is out of coal. Some
Usage and Leavenworth coal can be secured,
but that is all. placed an order for several
cars while in Kansas City, but had to pay
premium. The best coal companies have sold
their supply sixty days in advance"
Mr.. johnson said he asked that the compa.
nies he had been dealing with for years to take
care of him this winter, but they informed him
they were powerless. The railroads are coufs-
eating the output at the mines. The Missouri
Pacific railroad is using 1000 more tons day
this year than last, and the con6scation by the
railroads last year handicapped the coal com.
panies seriously.
With cold weather approaching, the fuel
question in Kansas is certainly serious one.
