Intimate with presidents from Lin

of it had lapsed.
Tonight Mr.. Wolff will speak at the
Reformed Tabernacle on Tenth street
on the mission of the international

on the subject next to his heart.
Without anticipating too much his
morning: "The B mai Birth is an or

Northwestern Roads in Good Shape for
Speed Tests.

Northwestern roads are in as good
condition as the eastern lines for speed
records. Their roadbeds are as well
ballasted, their rails as heavy to the
yard and, the methods Of operation are
as good. Eastern lines say more
about their bursts Of speed in the news
papers than II, the western lines said
average running time IS made on all
the lines between Minneapolis and Chi
cago, counting the stops. An instance
cited was the transportation Of the
atrical company from the twin cities
to St. Louis at an average speed of
forty miles an hour. Similar records
with companies which must make quick
trips are frequent. .a~
W. K. Vanderbilt's recent order to
his engineer to slacken speed on an
eastern line is said to have been the
result of running his special train over
a poor roadbed rather than from an
extraordinary speed which could not be
attained on northwestern lines.

c. D. Reppy was called to Los Angeles Monday by dispatch stating that his wife had gone to the hospital to undergo an opera ton. It is feared by her friends that Mrs. Reppy, in the present weak condition of her system, will not recover from the operation, but all hope for the best. Mrs. Reppy is a model Christian woman, pos sessed of much talent and many admirable virtues. Her death would occasion profound sorrow.-Flor- ence Blade.
 The mining business is the only business in which you can engage without confronting competition. It is the only business in which you will always find a steady demand for your product at cash prices as soon as the product is ready for the market. It is the only business in which you do not have to pander to the public to command patron age. It is the only business that will enable you to amass a great fortune without drawing it from the pockets of others In this busi ness you simply thrust your hands into the pockets of nature and draw forth her wealth. We refer, of course, to legitimate mining, not to stock dealing schemes based on wildcat mines.-Ex.

THE DISASTER AT GLOBE
All the Bodies of the Drowned
 Have Been Recovered

A special dispatch from Globe, dated August 20, to the Phoenix Republican, says: The flood dis aster of last Wednesday was the worst that was ever visited upon this camp Six persons lost their lives and $2O,OOO worth of prop erty was destroyed. The drowned were: Addison T. Epley, pioneer citizen; w. K. Mitchell and wife, Johanna Mitchell; Mrs. Ella Hurd (nee Brashears), Josie Moody and Shines.
 Epley was in his adobe cabin, which was engulfed in the torrent. The other victims were all in the Mitchell boarding house on low ground near the smelter and could have escaped had they needed warning.
 Five bodies were recovered on Wednesday night a mile below town. The other was found Thurs day, six miles distant.
 The storm was the heaviest in |. the history of Globe, and short distance above it resembled cloud burst. Over two inches of rain fell within an hour, accompanied by q brilliant electrical display. A dozen small houses were washed away. Twenty places of business were flooded. Buildings occupiee 1y h. , H: Pratt, fruits and confectionery; Jenkins & Zellner. pianos, and w. A. Crawford, barber, were moved into the middle of street The Pratt building l1l(5c 5ck are almost total loss. Five railroad bridges and nearly a mile of track were destroyed.

Northern Arizona Normal School.

The fall term of this institution will open September 13, 1904, and the outlook for large increase in attendance is most fiattering. There are two terms of twenty weeks each, devoted to we'll balanced course of study which prepare the gradu- ates for their first years work in college. The course embraces four years of Latin and two of Spanish, which enables those who take the Spanish to speak it we'll.
 The climate of Flagstaff is not equaled within the jurisdiction of the United States for mental exer- tion. Any student who wishes to accomplish the most work in the shortest time cannot ignore this fact.
 The equipment of the Northern Arizona Normal school is second to none in the southwest. The Refer ence Library especially, is most com plete and usable. The Chemical and Physical Laboratories are supplied with every convenience for class room and individual note book work. The same may be said of each individual department of the institution.
 The facilities offered for higher education in the territory of Ari- zona are equal to those in any part of our country, and justly deserve the support of her sons and daugh- ters.
 The dormitory facilities are very satisfactory, and those in attend ance secure half rates on the rail- roads on the certificate plan.

A HARD FOUGHT GAME
FIaestaff vs. Williams on the Local
 Diamond Last Sunday

Flagstaff was represented here last Sunday by her ball team and quite a number of citizens, who came down to see ''their boys" win, but in that they were disappointed. While both teams have number of excellent players in them and some not so good, neither is lack ing in the work of it's battery. Sun days game was a pitchers battle royal, both men doing effective work. Had they received the proper support the score would have been much less. Only occasionally were the batters able to connect with the leather, and then only for singles. The star play of the game was made by Henry. It was a pretty one-hand catch of a liner from Poland's bat in the third. In the second Mart Mcdonald rapped out a hot one. Little Tim Cornish made a bad throw to first and be- fore the ball was finally returned to the diamond Mart had crossed the plate. More enthusiasm was evident in the grand stand Sunday than has been evidenced this sea- son. Following is the score.

TO PUT IN I2O-STAMP MILL
The AmaIsamated Gold Mines Co.,
 to Operate on Large Scale

w. R. Russell, who has charge of the business of the Anas1 1s.z3I H.sA Gold Mines company's camps in Arizona, came up Monday night from the company's camp near Quartzite. He says the roads are in terrible shape from the recent rains. He had to abandon the road in Cullen valley and take to the foothills.
 Capt. w. F, - s of the same company a1 here Saturday from seaeaS psa!qCanyon. He is to he'l mo 4ues u9s.he road work and ,,ortation for the company. L oa>erst thing in order will be the of lot of road to ac- commodate the traction freight wagons which the company will use in taking out it's freight. The trac- tion outfit has been promised for September 1st. As soon as it ar rives and is installed the work of moving a 12O-stamp mill out to Quartzite will begin. The mill is all ready for delivery and waiting for transportation facilities.
 This traction outfit will consist of a 1OO- horse power motor car and four 15-ton capacity freight cars. These cars are practically a new invention, gotten up by the Gibbs Manufacturing company of New York. The motor car generates electricity, and is really power house on wheels, and moves along with a wire running to each car behind. The motor car runs itself and each car has it's own individual motor and runs itself as street car is run, each car getting its power from the power-house on wheels.
 This is a very novel outfit, and the level country from here west makes it very practicable scheme. A similar method of transportation is in operation from the borax mines of Death valley.
 The man back of this enterprise, H. J. Reemer, of New York, has plenty of money to put it into op- eration, and we trust that he will realize handsome profit from his mining enterprise in this section.
 The gentlemen in charge of the affairs of the company are all very affable and agreeable fellows, and none of them is booze fighter; hence, we look for nothing but straight business from the crowd, characterized by none of the mete- oric flights which have marked the careers of some of our operators in the past.--Martinez News Herald, Aug. 20.

would have been better if you had

WOuiu DCCli II you idt just some other kind of boots than those you had brought along with you. Ice creepers are very little use; it takes most of the time to keep them on the foot properly, and will end by taking and throwing them away. The most use found in them was to make money for the outftters in Seattle and other places too numerous to mention.
 When starting out with load on a sled it is best to take with you pair of rubber boots and also pair of begged moceasins, no mat ter what kind of boots you may have on your feet when starting; otherwise you will find yourself miles away from the very shoe needed at that very particular time. No one seemed to have enough of the right kind of foot covering; nearly all were short of sugar and shoes. It would have been better to have taken fewer rifles and more of the necessities, for there were hundreds of rifles thrown away as the men became to tired to carry them The reason there was need of more shoes is the fact that when a pair gets wet it is almost impos- sible to dry them in time to be worn when they are needed. Some of the men in their haste to dry their boots would make up a big fire and put them too near the stove or in the oven, and before they were aware of it their shoes had gone up in smoke, either one or both of them. All along the trail could be seen odd boots or moccassins; of course we knew what had been the fate of their mates.
 The morning we broke camp at the summit and went down to the foot of the glacier on the other side, there Wss jsos one woman left alone up there with Fart of her husbands cache. She looked with longing eyes as we bade her goodbye for few days, for. they were nearly ready to follow us..
 We had not gone far before we met man coming up the trail, who told us that two black bear had passed him making their way up towards the summit. In an instant 1 thought of that woman up there alone with no fire arms and no man near. There were a few sacks of bacon in her cache. This is always temptation to bruin; many sack of bacon they had made off with from this very place, even in the face of gun; so they knew we'll where to look for it.
 Fortunately the bear did not go that way; if they had there might have been a different story to tell. One night before we left the glacier 1 was pulling sled alone with never a thought of fear, until I saw in the darkness before me a num- Der of mummy-like objects lying each side of the trail, which at first appeared to me like a lot of dead men; it was too dark for me to see what had come up to, for all was as quiet as death, and 1 began to wonder if 1 had better venture on or turn back; but I did not feel satis- fled to go back without finding out what that cordon was that 1 had to pass. I finally concluded to keep on my way, so with trembling steps and quick beating heart l began to hurry by, but before I got through the two lines l found it to be lot of government soldiers laid out there in their sleeping bags. No one who has not seen such a sight can think how startling they ap- peared to me, outlined on the clear white snow.
