is very bright indeed. And copper is advancing"
 Liberal:-Inspector Fogarty, of the rural route section Of the postoffice de- partment, was at Duncan last week and went over the proposed rural route. up the river into New Mexico, from Duncan. MT. Fogarty was in Duncan some time ago to look at this route, but when he found that the pro- posed route crossed the river twice, that there was no bridge al either crossing, and that on occasions the water was so high that it was impossi- ble to cross the river, he turned the proposition down with out ever going oyer the route When 1t was found that the department required the river to be bridged before it would es- tablish rural routes the citizens repre- sented tO the department that this practically cut out all the river coun- try in most of the west. There is only one wagon bridge over the Gila
 
 i- at Florence. Upon this representa- tion the department changed its ruling and sent Mir. Fogarty back to look over the route. He was driven over the route, which extends from Duncan to the ford at the twenty-four circle ranch on one side Of the river, and back to Duncan on the other side. He seemed to be satisfied with the route, and it undoubtedly will be established. The establishment of this route will give about hundred and twenty-five families mail every day except Sun day Postmaster Waters of Duncan estimates it will increase the value of farming land in the section it covers by about a hundred per cent. for the reason that great many people will be anxious to get good farming land, such as lies in that valley, if they are not so far out of the world that they cannot get daily mail. In this age of the world it is the daily mail that the American citizen wants.

The Easy Pill.

DeWitt's Little Early Risers do not gripe nor weaken the system. They cure billiousness, jaundice, cOnstipa- tion and inactive flyers, by arousing the secretions, moving the bowels gently, yet effectually, and giving such tone and strength to the glands of the stomach, liver and bowels that the cause of the trouble is removed en- tirely. These famous little pills exert decided tonic effect upon the organs involved, and if their use is continued for a few days there will be no return of the trouble. Dunn's Drug Store.

AN INDIAN STRIKE.


 All that is left of La Paz, the once county seat of Yuma county, is few old adobe walls. It is the den of the rattlesnakc, the owl and the lizard. But it lays on the banks of the crook cdest, dirtiest and swiftcst river in AriZOna-the great Colorado. A band of MOhave Indians make it their home. Some tished and others of their tribe tried to farm, but the poor things could get no water for their crops, and only few pumpkins and sickly water melons were raised. A dry gold camp lay back some few miles but that had been deserted many years ago. An old quartZmill stood there solitary and alone, as d reminder Of better days, but the old mill lad been sold and the men came to tear it down and carry it over to Riverside county, California, to be rebuilt. It fell into the hands of one who wanted to get work done cheap, SO he brought only three men with him, for he knew the Indians were hard pressed and now was his time to move the machinery. or course the poor Mohavcs wanted work, but the manager told them that they only paid fifty cents day. Hunger drove them to take work. and after fifteen days the steamers left two great large barges for it to be loaded onto. All was ready to start when the ropes were let go and the great heavy things swung out in that swift current. One old chap of an Indian told the boss to give them S2 d day. "Why,"| says the old fellow, ''I told you that we only paid fifty cents for Indian labor" ''Is that all? asked the red man. ''Well, good bye. You can go out in the Gulf of California if you want to-. At that every mothers son jumped overheard and started to swim to shore. Come back, come back!' says the stingy old man, but no come back for Mir. Indian. I don't remember of ever seeing any one so excited as that manager was. No one to control the boats, but he thought quick. II will give you one dollar d day, come back! Come backr' But the Indian said, Two dollars or nothing.' Two goes" said the old man. Mir. Indian swam back, for they are like fish in the Colorado river, r,and climbed aboard. They took the barges across to the landing on the California side, just opposite old Ehrenburg. After they had got the boats fast tO the bank the Indians asked for their pay. II will shoot the last one of you-get out. | will 20 and get white men," said the old scoundrel. One old warrior who had seen many conflicts, spoke up: "Pay up now, aud before any white men come of, your boats will swing in the current again and you with them" Only three white men and twenty three Indians. and the three whites were on the red mans side. The money was paid and the Indians left. They swan the river and came back to the Arizona side. The boss tried to get white men to help unload that ma chincry before the . COWS sunk as they were sinking fast. He went and paid the same gang of Indians five dollars a day piece. Then he paid white man three day to watch it until he could get teams to haul it away, but be said, Damn the poor Indians, I don't want their help" Please tell me: Was it a strike:" C. B. S
