A Miners Inch.

A great many people would hardly consider it piece of news in min ing and irrigating country to publish a definition of what is known as miners inch of water. Yet it is not likely that one man in fifty in this town knows or could tell anyone else, though the measurement of water is something that concerns nearly every property owner or Ieaser of agricul- tural lands, besides a large proportion of the employees of property owners. The explanation of a miners inch has been frequently published and it is recorded in various reference books and encyclopedias, yet within the week three or four men have applied at this office for the information. Formerly the miners inch was varying standard, different in Califor mia, Arizona and Colorado, but iu recent years this unit of measurement has been made uniform. In quantity miners inch is one fortieth of cubic foot of water passing through an aperture in one second. In the California statutes it is. described as one and one half cubic feet of water passing in one minute which is exact ly the same thing. The condition for securing an inch of water according to local custom of measurement, would be, theor etically, the passing of water through an aperture one inch square, under pressure of five inch head :: that is with the water behind the gate five inches deep above the aperture. But practically hardly a miners inch would pass through such an aperture with that pressure, or in other words through an aperture one inch by twelve inches, more than twelve times as much water would pass as through an aperture an inch square. So small a unit as a single inch is therefore not used in actual measurements. The boxes are seldom less than foot wide and usually are still wider Republican.

Mosquitoes Stop Traffic

Mosquitoes on one of the Southern Texas railroads have caused a tempo rary suspension of the train service. The problem has become one of the most trying of auy that now cOnfronts the officials of the Texas, & New Orleans on the Sabine and East Texas division. The pest las become so bad that the line from Beaumont to Sabine has been shut down for the present.
 The section men on the larger por7 tion have been for some time unable to perform their duties, although they have clothed themselves in veils and have worn gloves. The station agents and other officials on the larger DOT tion have moved to Beaumont in order to escape the pest.
 Officials at headquarters refused to believe the reports sent them by the section men and others, and yesterday went to the scene in a special train to investigate for themselves. They beat a hasty retreat when they got into the swamps.

Will Oil Its Track.

The Santa Fe company has purchas- ed 8. GOO barrels of oil at Bakersfield to be used in sprinkliDg its road bed between San Francisco and Albuquer- que.
 In few weeks the train of ten cars that is being constructed for this work will be filled with oil and taken at a slow rate of speed over the dust covered route. The oil will be dis tributed by means of sprinkler Cn the rear car. and the oil will be forced from one car to another by means of steam spray, feeding out of the sprinkler.
 When the oil is put on the roadbed travellers will be relieved of Il @ hardest part of the trip. A few years ago the company sprinkled its road bed from Los Angeles to Seligman and portions of it between that and Albuquerque. It proved highly sue cessful adding to the comforts of travelling public. A single oiling lasted fore more than year.

Shipped His Remains.

The remains of Conrad Stumpf were shipped last Thursday morning to Albuquerque for burial. They were escorted to the train by Prescott Odd Fellows, of which order deceased had been a member. The sorrowing wife, two daughters and son accompanied the body on the same train to its destination where it will be deposited in mother earth for its last long rest. Deceased had been in the employ of the Santa Fe railroad for about twenty five years and was thorough ly reliable and competent man. He was known from Albuquerque to the Needles on the main line and from Ash Fork to the end of the Phoenix and Eastern on the branch line. He was stationed for a considerable time at Ramsgate, when his family lived in Prescott, his children attending the public schools here,
 He received the accident which caused his death while on duty and looking after the company's property.
 It was about three weeks ago during d period when several washouts had occurred on the Phoenix & Eastern road. He was riding at night on a hand car with his feet hanging over the front end of it, looking for wash outs. The night was extremely dark and a train crew had dropped a coal car on the main line with no light on it. TLe hand car crashed into this

FORGER FALLS
 INTO TRAP OF His Own Making, Re- Sulting in Arrest. Tried to Work Prescott Hotel Man But Grand Jury Will Work
 Him Instead.

Thomas Stillwell, who halls from Durango, Colorado, started out on trip to get some easy money and it re- suited in his undoing and he is now in the county jail here awaiting the action of the grand jury on charge of forgery which has been lodged against him. Stillwell claims that man named Kelly, who served term in jail here for breaking open trunk had suggested the career of crime to him and upon which he entered. His plans were carefully laid, but mis- carried in their execution.
 A man named E. StilIwell is the proprietor of hotel at Durango, and about two weeks ago the proprietor of a Prescott hostelry received letter written on a sheet of letter paper con- taining the letter heading of the Still we'll hotel, together with cut of the building, a very fine looking structure. The letter contained the alleged sig nature of its proprietor and advised the Prescott hotel man that his nephew contemplated a trip to this section and requested that he be taken care of in a manner consistent with the social standing of a hotel mans nephew, and also advised him to honor drafts the young man might make and they would be paid by E. Stillwell.
 The orthography of the letter as we'll as its chirograpby was not in keeping with the apparent style of the place from which the letter emanated and it quite naturally aroused the suspicion of the Prescott man and he wrote a letter to MT. Stillwell, who replied that he had no nephew of that uame and that he had never written letter such as was described.
 4 few days later Thomas StillwelI showed progress on his journey towards Prescott by writing the same hotel man a letter requesting him to hold any mail which might arrive for him and about tho same time three or four letters arrived addressed to him, but all the letters were so similar in the writing that it was apparent they were all written by the same person.
 Finally the young man put in an ap- pearance on Saturday evening Aug. 6, at the hotel and introduced himself as E. Stillwell's nephew to the hotel man, saying that he desired to go to Grown King the following day and presented check for s2)0, with the name of E. Stillwell attached to it, an wanted an advance on it. He was told that as it was late he could not get the money that night but that he would see that be would receive proper attention in the morning. He was shown room and was up bright and early on Sunday morning to get his money and leave on the Grown King train. The hotel man was on hand also and by invitation of the latter, Chief of Police Prince was also present. The check was produced when Stillwell was asked to endorse it which be did when Prince was told to take him into custody, which he did and Wednesday he had his prelim- mary examination before Justice Talbot, with results stated above, his bail being fixed at S750.

Appeal to Tobacco Growers.

1t is out OF pure friendship and good
deal OF sympathy that | make this ap-
peal. When I look back few years and
callto mind the hard and tedious and
backacking work we used to endure to
get our crops of tobacco started, and
then compare it with the same today,
creates new sympathy for the man who
invented and introduced the first planter
that was built, Mr.. Maurice Smith OF
115 Chatham st., GAINESVILLE, Wis. He
worked hard and diligently to convince
people that tobacco could be set with a
machine and grow. While he was doing
that others took up the idea and built
machines that took the field, so that Mr..
Smith made nothing out OF his invention
and had to return to work at his trade
and do the best he could to exc out a
living until old age and disability over
took him and left him in straitened cir
cumstances. This is where my appeal
comes in little donation from each one
that has been benefited by his invention,
il it was but few pennies it would be
thankfully received and great blessing
to him. | have known Mr.. Smith for
many years and feel that he is worthy OF
all he gets. S. GRUMPY.

The campaign in Edgerton was opened
Wednesday evening with democratic
rally in Royal hall, addressed by the
Hon. Neal Brown OF Wausau. The hall
was we'll filled at o'clock when B. G..
Wilson, president of the democratic
club, introduced the speaker, who con
fined his opening remarks to discussion
OF the national issues OF the campaign.
After threshing over lot OF dead straw
on the tariff question, imperialism, etc.,
he came down to state issues when the
audience began to prick up it ears and
give attention. The best point of the
address was made when he compared the
expense OF the present administration
with that of Gov. Peck ten years ago,
showing that in every, department OF
state had increased in cost from two to
four times. He maintained that graft
and scandal had permeated the state
government and the only relief lay in
electing the democratic state ticket. The
only way to ensure honest administration
of government was to turn out the ras-
Gals, which is the common argument of
the outs. Mr.. Brown closed with a
strong appeal to support the democratic
ticket, which he said was composed OF
the best type of good citizens ever offer
ed to the voters of the state.
Although it was getting late, Calvin
Stewart, the democratic nominee for
congress, who was present was intro
duced, who said that if the audience
would wait he would prove that Hal
Cooper was not entitled to single vote
for congress, not even his own. His ar
gument was based upon the violation of
the pledge that Cooper made to the con-
vention that nominated him to maintain
strict neutrality upon the state issues,
when he had since gone over to the
halfbreed camp. Any man who breaks
sacred pledge made to the nominating
convention is not worthy OF support, he
maintained. Stewart attacked Cooper's
Philippine bill and his bill amending the
inter state commerce law in a vicious
manner. But the socialistic doctrines
which the speaker is imbued with show
ed what positive calamity it would be
to the country for such a man as Calvin
Stewart to break into congress. No,
Stewart, we cannot advise anyone to vote
for you.

Thursday. Oct. Is. 1904, was the 77th

Thursday, Oct. Is, 1904, was the 77tn
anniversary OF the birthday OF Mr.. 81. M.
Stout. In the afternoon OF that day rel
atives and friends gathered at his home
and the event was fittingly celebrated.
A bounteous repast was served and
memories OF times long past were re-
vived. A daughter, Mrs. Davis, OF Mad
ison, and SOB and daughter. Mr.. and
Mrs. Joe Stout, of Milton, were present.
Ever since the first of last May Mr..
Stout has been in poor health and much
of that time confined to his bed. The
wish Of those present On hiss7 y hrsnni-
versary was that his health might be re-
gained and he be permitted to enjoy
many years to come.
AT the annual meeting OF the Bap-
list church association last Tuesday
evening John Dave was reelected
trustee. Quite number we're present
and the general sentiment expressed
seemed to favor turning the church
property over to the city, but no method
of doing this was arranged for. The
building has been practically idle for a
number of years aud il the city could
secure it for library or school purposes
it would undoubtedly be doing good
service. The meeting Tuesday evening
was adjourned to meet at the home OF
John Dave Tuesday evening, November
1st, and all who are interested in the
matter are requested to be present.
