MEMORIAL SERVICES.
Instructive Sermon Last Sunday
by Rev. Mr.. Walker.

| Memorial services were held at tn
Presbyterian church last Sunda
morning after the conclusion OF tn
Sabbath school. A number of G. "A
Il. veterans OF Gen. Lawton Post No
20, lead by their commander, Stewar
Young, and color bearer, L. A. Berry
marched up the main aisle and flleG
into the front seats IN the right sec
tion of the auditorium. The ladies
OF the w. r. G. led by their president
Mrs. A. w. Post, followed and took
seats Just back of the veterans. The
sermon. preached by Rev. i. A.
Walker was appropriate to the oc-
casion, strong, interesting and in
structive. 1t was addressed to the
Old soldiers and was replete with
facts and lessons of the great fratra-
cidal strife, patriotic sentiments and
with gentle admonition for their fu-
ture spiritual welfare.
Mr.. Walker called attention to the
ever increasing death rate in the
Grand Army Of the Republic, up
wards OF $4,000 veterans annually
joining their comrades on the other
shore: he spoke of the unknown SOL
dier dead whose sepulchres like that
of Moses are not known, but whose
deeds like those of Moses live on in
the grateful memory of their nation;
he made allusion to the heroes who
died in the war as the nations sacri-
ice for unity of country, and just as
the Union heroes of nearly half a
century ago were inspired by the
patriotism handed down from the
heroes of the revolution, so the noble
example of the boys In blue of 1860
should be taught and patriotism in
culcated In the younger generation of
today that the love of country and
Its flag and free institutions might
be handed down to posterlty undi-
minished In fervor and intensity to
the end that the perpetuation of our
government might be assured.
In the course of his sermon, Mr..
Walker referred with regret to the
ignorance Of the masses concerning
the principles of the United States
constitution and the need of educa-
tion to intelligently discharge the
political duties of citizenship. He
also alluded briefly to the somewhat
common error OF referring to Mem.
orial Day as decoration day, and the
thoughtlessness with which the day
is observed by some more as glad
holiday, such as the 4th OF July, than
as day for reverently honoring the
nations dead.

THE Iceberg CONTROVERSY
Rival Electric Line Compan-
les in Trouble.
BLACKWELL's Willy COUP.
But Pend d'Oreille People Say
Sale is Void.

The news that f. A. Blackwell had
purchased the Lienerg place on Squaw
| bay, Lake Pend d'Oreille. right over
the heads Of the promoters OF the
Pend d'Oreille Rapid Transit COM
pany, who thought they had the
place secured beyond the shadow of a
doubt, aroused as.ch uneasiness and
indignation in Rathdrum last Satur-
day. The purport OF the news was
that Blackwell, in the interests of
the Inland Empire company, which
includes the Occur d'Alene & Spokane
road, had purchased the Lieberg
place for $40, 900 cash and filed the
deed at Rathdruln, In spite of the
fact that the Prairie Development
company, working for the Pend d..
Oreille Rapid Transit company, had
contract with Iceberg to buy the
property on installments for SAL, 900.
The two roads are rivals, the Inland
Empire company having project
for a branch from Occur d'Alene to
Squaw bay and the Pend d'Oreille
Rapid Transit company having
planned an electric road from Spo-
kane via Rathdrum TO the same point
on Pend d'Greille lake. The Lieberg
place contains 100 acres and borders
on the bay, and while not essential
to either road, the Gross and Luther
places being intended for terminal
grouDds-it yet has a commanding
location and Is valuable for specu-
lative and strategic reasons.
The Leibergs some time ago grant
ed an option on their place to the
Prairie Development company for
$500 and entered into contract by
which the company was to pay for
the property In installments. The
first payment was to be $4,000. OF
this amount, according to statements
made by directors of the proposed
road, $4,000 was paid on May and
$4,000 was to be paid ON May Is.
DR.. Iceberg failed to call for the last
payment, it is said, and then an ef-
fort was made TO reach her but she
could not be found. A note was
then received from DR.. Iceberg say
Ing that the deal was called off and
that the property was sold to Black
we'll.
The company at once began suit
against DR.. Iceberg for specific per-
formance of contract, and also
against Mr.. John Iceberg and DR..
Carrie Iceberg for $25, 900 damages.
In an interview Mr.. Blackwell
stated that the Prairie Development
company had failed TO make payment
on the date specified and had lost by
default and that his company had
bought the place for cash.
On the other hand II. A. Hutchin-
son and other directors of the Pend
d'Oreille company imply bad faith on
the part of DIR. Iceberg and express
assurance that the sale to Blackwell
is invalid and will be so declared by
the courts.
AS to the Importance of the Lei
berg place, it is conceded it is not
vital to either OF the rival companies,
although 1t is of speculative value.
Its being owned by the INLAND EN-.
pire company would not shut out the
Pend d'Oreille company, and vice
versa, since either road could con.
denim for right OF way. Mr.. Hutch
inson states that the surveying will
soon be completed and that work or
the Pend d'Oreille Rapid Transit line
will begin at an early date.

 First Prize.

Tampa, Fla. Dec. 15.-The commit tee of judges at the Florida state fair awarded first prize for the best display of cigars to the Havana-American Co. for it's exhibit of Fl Principe de Gales Cigars, which attracted much attention during the week of the fair. Although the leading manufacturers of the state took part in the competition and the displays made by each had many ad- mirers, the decision of the committee has received general approval.
 The Havana Americas display was shown in a large glass cylinder mount ed on 9 hand-carved pedestal made of the finest woods produced on the is land of Cuba. Thirty-two sizes of the Fl Principe de Gales were exhibited ranging in size from the "Senoritas." three and a quarter inches long, to the After Dinner" seven inches, and re- tailing at from ten cents to one dollar each. The cigars were displayed in boxes just as they are packed at the factory and shipped to the trade, sOthat

ADMINISTRATION PAPER
 BALKS AT STATEHOOD
The Baltimore American DenOunCeS
 injustice of the Project.

It is always of interest to Arizonians to know how outsiders feel about this joint statehood business. The Balti more American, the oldest paper in Maryland and one of the most influ- ential in the country is against it on the grounds of. justice. The editor of the American. General Felix Angus, a veteran of the civil war is one of the leading republicans of Baltimore and his paper is a staunch administration journal. But the following attitude on the statehood question proves that it is not administration through thick and thin:
 It is scarcely likely that the scheme for the admission of Arizona and New Mexico as a single state will succeed. But for the suggestions from Arizona it would be difficult to perceive even plausible basis for it. It is certain that nobody is in favor of it in either territory, and why the scheme should be pushed is a mystery. By all tradi tions the wishes of the people should prevail in any matter of this kiLd.
 It is within the province of Congress to refuse statehood. but it is not q legitimate part of it's duty to force
 
 give them such statehood as would be inimical to thc;r political and material interests. This is precisely what this bill proposes to do. The people of Ari- zOna are a unit against the bill. and the people of New Mexico are almost as unanimous in opposition. The most serious objection to the political union of the two territories is the radical diff ference in the character of the people. The people of Arizona are for the most part the livest kind of Americans, while the people of New Mexico are Mexi- cans, sluggish. dull and welded to tra- ditions centuries old. They do not diff fer materially from their brethren across the Rio Grande and their sym pathies for the latter are stronger than any love for their adopted country. It is difficult to imagine a greater df- | ference between the people of any | parts of the United States.
 | What, therefore. can be the object of forcing these territories in a union with each other2 It is presunable that those who are pushing the mat i ter have some purpose. Men do not wantonly attempt to deride the wishes of their fellowmen. Whatever it may 1 be. it is entirely apart from wisdom and statesmanship. Even were they to ! succeed, their scheme would promptly i become dead apples. They may put all ! the provisos in the bill they please. but 1 they cannot prevent a sovereign state from cutting itself in half, which would
 certainly be done, and another con- | gress would promptly indorse the act. But why put these people to all this trouble? Why keep them in a per petual ferment of indignation and anX- iety? If the people of Arizona have not the right to say what they want
 who has authorized any other person
 or interest to speak for them?

FOUNDER OF SALOME
 RETURNS 10 MINING
D. ". Hall Gives up Management of
 Grace Valley Development Co.

Dick Wick Hall last week resigned as secretary and general manager of the Grace Valley Development com pany operating the general store. ho- tel and other business at SaIomc, the terminal of the A. & C. railroad, and MT. Richardson, of Chicago. has been elected to fill the vacancy caused by MT. Halls resignation. MT. Hall will again devote his time to mining, start ing to develop the Powell mines, on the same ledge as the White mine near Wickenburg. The property will be operated by the Oro Grande Explo- ration and Development company in which quite a number of Phoenix people are interested. MT. Hau and his brother, Ernest, have purchased the interests of the former promo ters, and will devote all their time and eff forts to making a success of the Pow ell.
 MT. Hall laid out the townsite If Sa- lome about d year ago, having gone into the new section some time before the advent of the railroad, and from all reports has been instrumental in making the proposition quite success- fGl, but like many others is unahle to resist the temptation to develop some
 of the wonderful mineral resources of the territory. The Powell property is one of the best known Tn the Wjcken- burg section, being on the same ledge
 and joining the White mine, formerly a portion of the Powell, on which q twenty-stamp mill is repidiy nearing | completion.

GIVE HER A CHANGE Old Dame Nature Knows How.

"Old dame nature has a sure way of curing sick people by food if the kind she wants is supplied the body and the person don't interfere with drugs
 She prescribes such things as fresh air and sunshine, exercise and right food as her principal agencies.
 Grape-Nuts is a natural food, pre- pared from wholesome grains, W tn no drugs nor chemical ingredients or pro- cesses, and is shipped from the factory in such predigested fitness that the weakest stomach will readily assimil- ate 5t.
 An Ohio woman who suffered for twelve years from nervous prostation, night sweats, imperfect circulation in somnia, etc, tells how Grape-Nuts food restored her to health and happiness III less than twelve weeks.
 ''I was so reduced in strength with untold suffering. without vitality or ambition, bed-ridden and unable to even wait on myself that I felt oblig ed to doctor all the time, taking one prescritpoin after another. but deriv- ing no permanent benefit from any. Sometimes I would feel better for q little while. but soon the effects of the medicine would pass away and l would lapse back to my former condition.
 Last May at my mothers solicita- tion I concluded to quit medicines and try Grape-Nuts food. It did not work a miracle at once, but slowly and sure ly, day by day, it built me up and strengthened me. I soon began to sit up then to work a little then to get out to see my friends. gaining mean while in sleep, till at last, by the end of June I was able to leave home for a visit, (taking my Grape-Nuts with me be sure.) returning after a few weeks completely restored with a healthy in- terest in my domestic duties, and | thank Heaven, the strength to per- i form them.
 That is so, and thatI am stronger iT mind also and quicker and more vigor- ous Intellectually is due to the use oi Grape Nuts food" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.
