 Ed Patterson left a few days ago for the south. The poor old boy hated to leave. Don't blame him. Billie Smith from Pine Springs has been spending a few days in town.
 Dr. Adams pronounced several of his patients sufficiently conva- lesctnt to attend the initiation of some 12 or 15 candidates to the or der of B. P. O. E. at Kingman. Jim mic Wilson, Ora Ferris went down from here. They report a pleasant time.
 Ora, commonly known as "Ikey," says he don't know whether he was bitten by cactus or not. He is just from Missouri and he will find out after awhile.
 Jimmie Wilson came back with a broad smile and full of music land said the horns were all set right.

wood for paper making in the east is becoming limited. capital might by the effort of such q club, be in duced to install paper mill here; there might also he woolen mill started here for the purpose of working up the product from our many bands of sheep, thus saving the cost of transportation of the wool to the eastern market and the return of the emanufa ctured goods to supply the demand of the south west; wooden novelties, furniture, etc., could be as well manufactured here as elsewhere, but no one of these industries will be started un- less there is concerted action on the part of our citizens toward bring ing 1t 10 the attention of capital. The town receives much benefit also from the many thousands of tour ists who annually visit the Grand Canyon, but by little 'judicious advertising the benefits could be increased ten fold. There is one thing we have which is desired by thousands in the crowded and un- healthy east. and that is our un- limited supply of pure. life giving atmosphere, and ideal climate. Did Williams have the commercial club referred to. at nominal cost, her possibilities and advantages for the health seeker could be brought be- fore thousands upon thousands oi people of all classes and conditions in life who are hungering nd thirst ing all over the east and middle west for honest information of the country and climate that will re. store to them their lost health! As
 we stated, we must develop oul latent resources If we have not farming lands to attract the home seeker we must bring to the health seeker tidings of our unlimited pos
 abilities in that line: Let us gel together on this proposition; or ganize club which has for it's ob- ject the furthering of the towns in. terest. Get every man who has any interest in the welfare of the town to become a member of the club and then boost. Boosting sim gle handed is good thing. but il all boost together. much more will be accomplished.

LET US GET TOGETHER

On the first page of this issue we publish short item relative to the establishment at Gallup of a com mercial club. We might say, with out fear of contradiction, that never in the history of any town has it made very marked progress without concerted effort on the part of its citizens. In union there is strength, and by concerted action results are accomplished. Williams has grown to a point where she is likely to rest if there be not something done to develop her latent resources. Under the government regulations there is now about as much stock on this part of the reserve as will ever be allowed; what little fertile land we have is already under cul- tivation; the lumbering industry is shortly to reach its zenith, upon the completion of the new plant of the local lumher company, and while it will give the town an added impetus, it is only for given pc. riod of time; efforts are being made in small way to develop our min eral resources, and while they may in the future become of importan at the present time the benefit ac- cruing from that source is insig- nificant. These are the apparent resources, and the field of each at this time is fully covered. Shall we be content to stop with these, or shall we make an effort to create new industries? What the town needs is commercial organiza ton, which may take up projects, and, either with local capital or by out side aid. secure for the town more institutions that will produce some thing. As the available supply of

the Article.

"One dozen safety pins. Twelve

clerk. "Your change will be here in

She was very pretty. He was
young. A conversation sprang up.
There is a strange story connected
with the safety pin" the clerk said.
San Englishman invented this pin
some 30 or 40 years ago. For this ad-
mirable invention he was highly hon
ored. Fetes and applause were show
cred upon him. If l am not mistaken,
the man was even knighted.
And about three years ago, in exca-
waiting in Pompeii. they came upon
what do you think? A perfect safety
pin. Hundreds of perfect bronze safety
pins. The Englishman's invention
wasn't new at all. 1t was 1000 years

years, when he suddenly resigned.
His resignation was forced upon him,
however. as his enemies threatened
that unless he gave up his seat they
would bring charges against him that
he had obtained his seat through cor
rupt means.
Once more the governor was called
upon to name a senator, and he Sc
lected Judge Robert Crozier. But the
| judge seemed to be ignorant of many
of the essential points of the political
game, and in 1874 he was defeated by
James M. Harvey, who was elected to
fill out the Caldwell unexpired term.
But for some reason Harvey didn't
seem to suit the Kansans, for he also
went down in defeat before p b.
Plumb in 1877. He was reelected in
1888 and in 1889. In 1891, as the old
year was expiring, he came to a tragic
death.
Gov. Humphrey appointed Bishop
w. Perkins to fill the vacancy until
the legislature met in 1893. This leg.
islature was controlled by the fusion
lists and John Martin was elected fol

which ended in 1895.
