Territorial Fair Postponed

The management have to an
nounce the pOstponement of the
First Annual Territori0l fair to
the week of December 25th to
30th, inclusive.
This has become necessary on
account of the heavy rains that
have delayed the work of tinal
arrangements and have caused
floods in the Salt aud Gila riv-
erS.
The Santa Fe bridge at
Tempe has been carried out and
the prObilitles are that the 9th
er lines of railroads will be very
seriously affected by the flood
waters and to such an extent as
to make it questionable about
the attendance In view of
such uncertainty it has been
thought best to make this post
ponement. Please give all pos
sible publicity and remember
the new dates, Dec, 25th to
3Oth. "
Yours truly,

Very respectfully,

By j. c.. Adams, Chairman.
To whom it may concern:

Feeling that Mr.. Drumm has
done me an injustice, [ would
like to inform the people of
Winslow that when [ purchased
the property owned by Mr..
Drumm in this town [ also
bought his business and paved
a good price for it. He signed
contract never to open a shop
here as long as we were in bus
mess and he has broken this
contract and his word. Mr..
Drumm opened his shop before
A. w. Miller sold his interest
in the business. He also had
an opportunity to bny our shop
at as reasonable figure as he
sold it. Feeling that [ have
the right to put this before the
people of Winslow,
| am as ever,
j. E. MILLER.

Grazing information

Forest Supervisor Breen has
been recently advised that the
article on grazing first publish
ed in Colorado and reprinted in
the local papers to the effect
that the price for grazing Cattle
and horses on forest reserves,
had been reduced to ten cents
per head and that all settlers
would be allowed to Craze one
hundred head of cattle and
horses free, was unauthorized
and no such ruling had been
made.
The question of price and 9th
er matter pertaining to it is now
under consideration and no def
mite action will be taken until
December 10. The price event
ually settled upon will be a
reasonable one and the stock
men will have little reason for
complaint.
In the matter of leasing pas
ture land more liberal policy
will be pursued than was at
first contemplated. While the
limit of 800 acres still stands,
lands will be leased to settlers
living within, or on the border
of a reserve. to give them eX
elusive use of adjoining pasture
during a portion of the year
when needed for protection
against outside stock grazed on
the reserve.
While the area is limited to
32O acres it is not intended that
the full acreage will be allowed
unless really needed. This rul
ing is made for the benefit of

THE MASONIC ORDER IN 1SLESBORO.

The year 1905 has been one of unrivalled
Islesboro. The large and splendidly ar
ranged hall, erected during the summer and
fall of last year, has been completed. The
large dining hall, the kitchen, the ante
rooms-in fact all the apartments-are well
arranged and we'll proportioned. The car
peting and furniture of the main hall above,
while not ornate, are of superior quality
and serve the purpose well. The frescos
on the walls and ceiling are models of the
decorators art. The colorS are not gor-
geous but in excellent taste and harmony
The shading done by the artists brush is
so perfect that many parts seem to stand
out in baS-relief. The masonic embems,
representing symbolic and moral truths, are
of exceptional beauty. All bills of every
kind have been paid and there is respect
able balance in the treasury. Meetings are
held every Thursday evening, as there is al
most always 'work," and sometimes two
degrees are conferred at the same session.

MERCHANT MARINE INDISPENSABLE
fFrom the Presidents Message

To the spread of our trade in peace and
the defense of our flag in war great and
prosperous merchant marine is indispens-
able. We should have ships Of our own and
seamen of our own to convey our goods to
neutral markets, and in case of need to re-
inforce our battle line. 1t cannot but be a
source of regret and uneasiness to us that
the lines of communication with our sister
republics of South America should be
chiefly under foreign control. 1t is not a
good thing that American merchants and
manufacturers should have to send their
goods and letters to South America via
Europe, if they wish security and dispatch
have held their own better than on the At
lantic, our merchant flag is now threatened
through the ibt raj aid bestowed by other
governments on their own steam lines. L
ask your earnest consideration of the re-
port with which the Merchant Marine Com
mission has followed its long and careful
inquiry.
