THE UNOFFICIAL INVESTIGATORS
Still Probable that the Hearst Party
 Will Tour the Territories.

Concerning the long and widely her aided unofficial visit of c0ngressmen Go New Mexico and Arizona. by byinvitation of Congressman William R. Hearst, of New York, and designed by him to make well informed and friendly advo- eates for the statehood question, there appears to yet remain possibility that it will be made in accordance with the plans as first made.
 Last week it vas practically called of owing to the announced indispositfOn of several of the invited guests to ac- cept. but since then others have been sounded or the question and Governor Brodie has taken hand in the matter, so that there is still good chance that the special train will leave Chicago on October +, following the star of em- pire" in its southwestern course.
 Later:-It is definately settled that the party will leave Chicago on Oct. II.

They are after s slice of the Carnegie library fund, which that famous philanthropist has promised, and the chances are very good for their securing it.
 There are certain conditions that Mir. Carnegie requires before he unloosens his purse strings, and the ladies are straining every nerve to reach the goal. They are not making public all of their plans just yet, but one thing they are trying for first is to raise the money to buy lot next to the Wupper- man building on Second street, on which library building will be erected.
 As starter toward the goal a fair, or Bazaar. will be held at Elks' hall on Tuesday evening, Oct B, and it should be literally patronized. Admission, 9 cents. The ladies in charge request ghss elsose who attend will dress in cos tnrsSe efable 8Ratic Of some particular b0Ok

Deafness Cannot be Cured.

hy local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an infamed con- dition of the mucous lining of the Bus tachian Tube. When this tube is in- famed you have a rumbling sound OF imperfect hearing, and when it is en- tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be de- stroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh. whichis nothing but an infamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

The Colorado Delta Canal Company

We understand that this company re- mains sleadfast in it's purpose to push on the work necessary to be done before commencing construction.
 It's operations have been somewhat interfered with by the talk going on about the government plans in connect ! ion with the Colorado river. The Di- rectors of the company, however, have reason for their belief tbat it will be il number of years before such plans can be decided upon and finally carried to completion, and, in the meantime, great benefits can be secured for the Yuma valley by the building of the Delta COmpany's system, which could in the future be conveniently annexed. as Mir. | Maxwell suggested in his recent speech, and if it were considered advisable to any larger work of the government.
 It would certainly not be good bus mess, or wise judgement on the part of Yuma people to reject the proposals of the company, and the fact that large acreage has already been signed for is g proof that this feeling prevails to a considerable extent
 The engineering plans of the com pany are beyond question, the terms offered to land owners thoroughly reas- enable, anu the company is prepared to begin the work of construction di- rectly a fair proportion of the territory to be served has been signed for The great needs of this locality at the pres ent time are water and capital. and both of these will be available with the company in active operation. The be- ginning of construction means the ex- penditure of vast sums of money in the valley, by which everyone willing to work or furnish supplies can derive great benefit, while the water to follow will be the means of developing the country, and at the same time providing all the money required to meet the cost of water rights during the extend ed time allowed for making the pay ments.
 Space does not admit of our publish ing the list of those who have already signed, but the number is considera ble and the names include a goodly propor- tion of the progressive members of the community who have been within reach since the company began taking sig natures.

Frisky Kansas Lambs.

He was tired and dusty and several other things, as befitted the fact that he had been working his way by easy stages easy as he could make them, all the way from the harvest fields of Kansas, whither he. himself, had gone from the far east when the clarion call of the Kansas farmers rose for workers in their harvest fields.
 After proper refreshment he spoke at some length concerning the harvest hand situation in bleeding Kansas, 7" and following some of his own experi- ences spoke of the many college boys who came, lured by the promise of high wages, and of how little, or much, their college training availed them. On the question of how much the strangers tale seems conclusive:
 "There was Harvard chap, from Ohio, struck in not far from where had cleaning up job. All work was practically over, but he was broke and anxious to work, so d farmer took him out and put him to herding sheep. He was told that as it was necessary to have the flock in the corral by night fall he should start them h0meward about o'clock in the evening, letting them graze on their way in.
 MT Harvard took hold of the job with. considerable enthusiasm, and sald that he would have every mutton safely back or know why. As twilight approached and DO sheep appeared the farmer began to grow worried Just as he had prepared to set out for them the flock was sighted in the distance, with Harvard in the rear, and it was noticed that he seemed to be full of business, running backward and for ward and racing from side to side like runaway automobile. After the flock had been corralled he turned up at the house, hot, dusty and tired.
 " What the deuce ailed you, any way? asked the boss.
 " Nothing much, he answered. as he drew in an extra breath. The old sheep were right enough and easy 10 drive. but the lambs were so blamed wild had fierce time keeping them in line"
 " 'Lambs suffering Moses said the ranrhinaIi. q haven't any lambs :"
 '' But you have, you know said 'center-rush.' Then. as he noticed the look of astonishment, Just come out and will show you"
 There said he, as they looked into the corral, there are the four lambs that made me hump to keep them in line"
 And be pointed to four exhausted, frightened aad trembling jack-rabbits huddled in d corner of the corral"
