JOINT STATEHOOD

At last Governor Kibbey of Arizona has spoken and
voiced the arguments if not the real motives OF those in
his territory who are so strenuously working against
any statehood. The Citizen presented these views to
its readers last evening, that the friends of jointure may
ponder them well; for he who is ignorant OF his enemys
position, his preparations and his purposes, is altogether
unprepared for the fray. He is like a mole working
underground, but without the instinct of the mole. He
fights as one that beats the air. Governor Kibbey is
therefore worthy of thanks for having propounded Off
cially the arguments on which the ants rely.
The Citizen thinks that the feeling Of every joint
statehood advocate will be that of surprise at the weak
ness and paucity of the arguments presented. In read
ing the governors manifesto one can but think of the
old lines:

Accidentally Shot.

Sunday afternoon about five o'clock
Albert, the fourteen-yearold son Of MIR.
and Mrs. N. P. Nelson living five miles
southwest Of Lamont, accidentally sho,
himself in the right hand.
Conflicting reports are rife as to jus,
how it happened, but the account given
by he attending physician was substan.
TALLY as follows: Albert and some
young companions had Il breech-loading
shot gun and were out in the yard a,
play when a flock OF blackbirds alighted
in nearby tree. Albert thought som,
loose shot on top of the shell would
scatter and thus bag larger numbe,
of birds. He poured the shot in the
barrel, placed his hand over the muzzlt
and was shaking them down, when il
some way the gun was discharged, in
tlicting an ugly wound in the hand.
DR.. J. B. Horner was called, who find
ing he needed assistance, called DR.
Golf. 1t was found necessary to TAX,
out the middle and ring fingers. A
V-shaped piece was taken out of tn.
palm and the index and little finger.
drawn together. 1t is hoped thus t,
save a portion of the hand. At las
accounts the patient was doing as wei

Important Pension Ruling.

About seven years ago Walter Robin
son, of this city, died and his widow APP
piled for pension. 1t developed in
the prosecution that Robinson had
served under an alias and his widow
found it exceeding difficult to establish
his identity by direct testimony salts
factory to the bureau of pensions. The
claims were therefore rejected. Adj
ditional evidence was submitted, but
the commissioner of pensions adhered
to his former action. The case was
then put into the hands of a special
examiner who reviewed the entire case
and cross-eNamined all the witnesses
without change in the character of the
claim as presented. The commissioner
again rejected the claim.
}. II. Pelham, who represented the
claimant, believed in the business Of the
widows application and made careful
trans cript of all the evidence and pre-
pared an appeal to the secretary of tt e
interior. The secretary reviewed the
case and has notified the parties inter
ested that the claim must be allowed
and the commissioners objection has
been overruled.
The case is important because it es-
tablishes the fact that circumstantial
evidence, when supported by existing
facts known to be true, shall have due
weight in determining the merits of a
pension claim. The widow will receive
over 81 100 by the secretarys decision

A WhlstIlng Well.

A whistling we'll on the farm of J..
Owens one-fourth mile north and one
half mile east of Beaconsfield attracted
considerable attention recently. An
iS-inch hole was being bored when at
the depth Of 40 feet rock was encount-
cred which it was impossible to pierce.
The sound of escaping gas or wind could
be plainly heard and it intermitted
something like the exhaust of gasoline
engine. This continued for about a
week, when the well filled up some with
mud and water. The rock could be
plainly seen for some days. Two other
wells were bored near this one, the
depth reached being 81 and 80 feet re-
spectively but no supply of water was
reached in either one. At we'll near
that place some years ago gas pocket
was encountered of sufficient force to
blow the drill and machinery clear of
the well. The man who was drilling
Mr.. Owens we'll said he had been vori-
ing for many years at the trade and
never saw such peculiar we'll as this
was. The location is high and dry. 1t
may have been a gas pocket, and there
may be coal under the rock, who knows.
Mr.. Owens says he intends to prospect
as soon as he can and find out what is
under that rock Tingley Vindicator.

ENCAMPMENT OF OLD
SOLDIERS AND SAILORS
At Grants Pass in September
Big Attendance Expected
Program of Interest.

The annual reunion Of the Southern
Oregon Soldiers and Sailors Reunion
Association will be held in Grants
Pass ON September "a, 10, l6, II and
IS This will carry the reunion over
Sunday and is new departure, the
idea being to enable the children to
attend the Saturday exercises, which
will be of a patriotic nature for their
instruction, and to enable a union
religious service to be held Sunday.
The program for this day will be in
charge of the Grants Pass Ministerial
Association. The first day of the
encampment, Thursday, will be
Grants Pass Day and the Post and the
Corps of this city will have charge
of the program for the day and even
ing Friday will be Medford Day
and the Post and Corps of that town
will have charge of the exercises for
that day. Ashland will have Satur-
day and Sunday services will be ar
ranged for as stated above. by the
ministers of Grants Pass. The Gold
Hill and Central Point Posts and
Corps will conduct the exercises for
? Monday. 1t is expected that the
program for each day will be Of
high order and the public will be
given cordial welcome to the various
exercises that will be held ON the
camp gIounds.
The date of the encampment is
earlier tLan usual which will thus
preclude the possibility of cold
rains interfering as was the case at
Jacksonville last year, when the en-
campment was held id October. The
location of the grounds is in charge Of
the Grants Pass Post and as yet no
campments heretofore held in Grants
Pass have been in the bicycle grounds
or Tufts grove, but new location
may be secured for this encampment
as SO manyof the trees on the bicycle
grounds have been cut that there is
but little shade there and the Tufts
grove is rather far from the business
part of the city. It may be that the
Harmon block on North Sixth street
will be secured. This tract is not
be so large as desired bot it is con.
veniently located and has handsome
grove of trees. 1t is ON the lines of
both Grants Pass and Condor electric
lines and light can readily be had, as
also pure water. The tents for the
old soldiers and their wives are owned |
by their Association and they will |
be shipped here from Medford. where
they are stored, and be set up under |
the supervision of committee of
local G. A. r. men. The town en-

FOR
HALF A CENTURY
MIR. AND MRS. JOSEPH sWIOK GEL.
EBRATE GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY.
Respected Couple Have Been Residents
of st. Anthony for Many Years
Have Lived Almost Half Century
in the Same Home Their Early
Struggles and Triumphs.

Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Swick are on
the eve OF half century g residence in
Minnesota. They have seen the growth
of Minneapolis and have gone thru all
the hardships Of pioneer life in the
western state. Mr.. Swick hauled logs
when the temperature was 80 below
zero, and when the hard times were on
So week was the best he could earn.
Mr.. Swick came to America from Wur-
Swick, who was then his sweetheart,
followed five months later. . For three
years after their marriage they lived
in Connecticut, and when the fever
for the western states made itself felt
in the east, the Swicks were among the
settlers who came to Minnesota in the
early spring of 1855. -, -
The family home now occupied by
the couple has been theirs since 1856,
and SO the same roof has sheltered them
for nearly fifty years. At first they
lived in small house on Fourth street
NE. : Possessed Of an industrious and
saving disposition, Mr.. swick figured
that S. a month was too much rent for
two, and so he purchased a small lot
and built a $40 shanty at Eighth street
and Central avenue. He lived in 1t for
one year and then built the present
home, 10 Fifth street NE. Thru all
these years Mr.. Swick has been an up
right citizen. He likes Minnesota, the
climate agrees with him and his wife
and the years have brought to the
family goodly share Of happiness and
prosperity. While at first Mr.. SwicA
wished himself back to the east, the
time has come where he says: 81
woudn It 60 back east for anything II
| the world.''
