Always Two Sides to a Question.

Since first the flight of years began in mans history every story has had it's obverse and reverse side. The 'you did" and ''I did not" of mankind is as old as the everlasting hills, and with the end of all things will still be echo ing.
 AS pertinent territorial illustration we have now the case of one Brooks, a member of the rangers, who recently killed an old negro at Naco. The two sides of the story. as given by newspa- pers of Arizona and Sonora respective ly. are as follows lit must be remem- bered that there are rangers and their supporters scattered throughout the territory:
 Arizona papers-obverse side: That Brooks played the part of knight to a lady; that the lady was assaulted by the ''black brute:" screams called Brooks to the rescue: negro shot at him and was himself shot and killed by | DtOOhS5 uC4ulOCCUs JuSGIHdOIC, DFOVhS a gallant gentleman and great hero. And so on, ad infnitum, ad museum.
 Sonora papers-reverse side: That Robinson was an old and respected ne- gro known to everyone in and around Nace; for the first time known he was drinking a little and his pistol was ta- ken away from him by Mexican officers: as a corral boss, he needed gum, and before leaving town he bought another; had spent his last hours ia town giving candy and smalf coins to the children, all of whom knew him> at the edge oi town he fired his pistol in the air; Brooks, riding by at short distance, shot him down; no woman in sight doubtful if the negro even saw Brooks.
 Above are the two sides of the story En forming opinion, however it is worthy of note that the Sonora papers have nothing to fear from Brooks or his friends and equally nothing to gain Look we'll to each story. consider the conditions and take your choice.

A Yuma Teacher.

In its reports of the teachers insti. tute the Star, of Tucson, said: Miss Mary k. Post, of Yuma county, is among the teachers who are attending the joint county institute which is now being held in this city. Miss Post is one of the earliest educators in the ter ritory and has taught the youth of Yuma the rudiments of an English edu- cation for the past three decades. All the boys and girls of both Spanish and American parentage who have grown up in that town own Miss Post as their first teacher. The lady has devoted her life to the education and moral up building of her town, and she taught there in the early days when few other teachers could have succeeded in her position. Miss Post takes much inter- est in all matters pertaining to educa- tion and she makes it point to attend all teachers institutes"

The EIucidation of Socialism.

On Friday evening last the Socialists of Yuma had fair sized but intlligent audience at tue court house. at t'which Mir. Harry Mckee, a national organizer of the cause, WAS the speaker. In the afternoon Mir. Mckee had addressed a large gathering of the valley people at Somerton, and had there organized a coterie of his hearers into Local. As speaker NJ. Mckee is both earn est and fOrceful: apt in illustration and calm and dispassionate in statements. He is, therefore, the more convincing. His elucidation of socialism, it's tenets and creed. was clear and to the point, and undoubtedly dispelled many long cherished illusions and false cOncep- tions regarding the aims of the social ists.
 By him it was made clear that tbeir work was now, and long would be, in the nature of the education of the masses to a full realization of what the socialistic creed means for them. His illustration of present conditions being similar to that of a man who owned a well and pump, and his neighbor, who, lacking a well, was compelled to use that of the more fortunate man. In connecting his tank pipe with the pump he found that it required long time and much hard work to fill his tank, and, on complaining of this to the own CT of the pump, was coolly informed that ''for every gallon he pumped into his tank he pumped two gallons into the tank of the pump owner" was an especially good one.

OuartZSite Notes.

Easing judgment upon the amount and character of freight now being handled by Geo. w. Norton's outfits from the $. P. to Quartzsite, compris- ing nearly everything from bachelors buttons, Goodies of them, to the integral parts of stamp mills and smelters. the time is fast approaching when Quartz site will have to be granted it's dot on the railroad map of Yuma county, and Yuma itself will be forced to do things tO maintain its position as the county seat and business center.
 With fourteen mule team, lead wagon and two trailers Col. Norton re- gently delivered to the Valensuella mines, about 15 miles northwest of Quartzsite, 18,OOO pounds of miscellan- eous freight, and, along with a lO-ton shelter, has yet 50 tons to freight to that very promising property. Col. Richard Darling, the resident general manager of the Valensuella- company, has also purchased of Clampit Bros: a we'll boring outfit, and will sink a 800 foot we'll in advance of the installation of the smelting plant. With an ideal location, admitting of rapid and most economical handling of the ores, this property has much to commend it.
 Of the Defiance company's mines, Of which B. G. Smith is the principal owner and the resident active manager the recent delivery of ten tons of mis- cellaneous freight would presage an other season of the intensive develop ment work that has characterized the operations of this company from the first clink of the drill. The Defiance property is eight miles east of Quartz site, contiguous to the once celebrated Plomosa Gulch and Crystal Butte placer fields, that but little more than two decades ago rendered up many thOus- ands of ounces of the yellow metal to the pan and rocker. While the mine
 
 Arizona prototypes, presented many annoying variations from established precedents in gold mines, it has, under Mir. Smiths management, attained an advanced stage of effective develop ment. As close corporation it has sought this end rather than exploita- tion, and will now soon be numbered among the active gold producers of Yuma county.
 Word has been received that 120- stamp mill, stamps to be of l,000 pounds each, has been contracted for and will soon be in course of erection on the properties controlled and managed by O. A. Pease, at Middle Camp, eight miles to the west of Quartzsite. Here, also, are situated the promising prop critics of the Prosperity company, now showing every indication of ultimately realizing all expectations founded upon them.
 Numerous other properties in and around Quartzsite are busily advancing development work, and are rapidly at taining a stage of actual production that will place tbe district among the notable copper and gold producers ot the territory.

Millennium in 1912.

The statement is made by promi- nent divine in the west that the mil lennium will arrive in the year 1912. and bases his claim on the prophecies iof the Bible. Whether his prophecy is correct or not time alone will tell, but in the meantime we should make the most out of our lives, and the first essential to this is good health. A sick ly person cannot enjoy life because he lacks the vigor and vitality necessary for such enjoyment and consequently always feels down-hearted and de- pressed. It was for such persons that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters was first introduced fifty years ago, and many persons today can ascribe their good health to its use. It positively cures indigestion, dyspepsia, constipation, biliousness and liver and kidney trOu- bles. Don't fail to try it.

The New Paper.

An early date in December promises to usher into being the "Los Angeles Examiner" the Angel City's prototype of the San Francisco Examiner, and of the virile and progressive newspaper brood of William Randolph Hearst.
 As, it is announced that the long es- abolished liberal and progressive policy of the Hearst papers will be maintained by this new aspirant for the favor of the reading public, it is fair to assume that much good will accrue to Arizona and the southwest in general through its assured and deserved success.
 While not established to fill the traditional Hong felt want" it is reas- OnabIy certain to make itself factor ir the social, business and political life of the sunshine kingdom Politically ReaocTatic in it's tenets, withal most reasonably independents, it will add zest to the game of politics and mater ially increase the gaiety of nations

The Stoffela Case.

The attorney general has directed United States Attorney Nave to appeal the Stoffela case to the supreme court of the territory, This will not affect Mr. Stoffela, as he was acquitted by a jury. but the purpose of the appeal is to determine the validity Cf the instruc- tion given by the court to the jury. The United States attorney asked the court to instruct the jury that the de- fendant need not have known that the man to whom the liquor was sold was an Indian, and that he sold the liquor at his own peril, just as the courts have held in the case of minors and habitual drunkards. The court refused this in- struction, which is made the ground for the appeal, as the government anthori- ties are anxious to determine the law on the point for their guidance in fu- ture cases.--Tucson Post.

Disastrous WreckS.

Carelessness is responsible for many a railroad wreck and the same causes are making human wrecks of sufferers from Throat and Lung troubles. But since the advent of Dr. Kings New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds, even the worst cases can be cured, and hopeless resignation is no longer necessary. Mrs. Lois Cragg of Dorchester, Mass, is one of many whose life was saved by Dr. Kings New Dis covery. This great remedy is guaran- teed for all Throat and Lung diseases by all druggists.

As Seen by Others.

MT. G. L. Bennett, secretary of the Colorado Delta Canal Company, was in the city yesterday attending to business connected with the land office.
 The company that Mir. Bennett is representing are completing arrange ments for the building of canal that will furnish an abundant supply of water for the irrigation of POO, 900 acres of what is now desert land in the Colo rado valley, north, south and east of Yuma. The company, which is an English one, is capitalized at $2, 200, GOO and have their main office in San Fran cisco. It is case of where the canal company are taking all of the chances as they do not ask d cent from the land holders until they actually furnish the water to them, and they are making the water rights and rental payments so easy for them that they allow the farm CTS several years to cultivate their land and sell their crops before they have to pay for their rights, the farmers secur- ing the canal company by giving mort gages on their tracts.
 Work will be commenced this winter and the company is prepared to expend $l ,O00,00 on construction as fast as it is needed, and any amount above that is necessary for the completion of the work. It is the most plausible of all of the canal schemes that have attem pt- ed in the Colorado valley and it looks very much as if that section was on the verge of great prosperity.
 It is designed to have four large con- struction camps in the field at first, with an aggregated force of about 1000 men, which in itself will mean a great thing for the merchants of Yuma. The fact of the capital being held in readiness for the work to commence, and also, the fact that J. D. Schuyler, one of the greatest of canal engineers, having made most favorable report on the project, makes it look as if eer- tain success will be met with.-Tucson Citizen.
