Magic Yield of
 Tombstone Soil

Tombstone bears an enviable repu- tation for the luscious fruits raised in the numerous gardens and the great variety of roses and rare plants that adorn the yards and contribute not a htt C bit 10 the superior climate. The ground is capable of producing almost anything indigenous to a semi-trop- ical climate. Below the city are sev erai small ranches upon which are grown in profusion variety Of fruits and vegetables, melons, etc. The soil is responsive to the wand of the yeo- man, the only necessary adjunc. to labor and enterprise being water with which to irrigste. This pre- requisite ls now in abundance since the Tomb stone mines are being unwstered, the amount being brorsh. to the surface | forming miniature river along whose banks happy and prosperous homes are spring Ig into existence.
 Tn. Irwin ranca. three mi es below the city, is an evidence of the pro- | ductiveness of the soil and attests the reward that follows energy. Mir. and
 Mrs. Irwin have devoted but about three years to reclai ming their beau tiiul home from the desert, sccOn = plishing in that short period that
 which would require T dozen years or quarter of century in less favored sections. Fruit trees, of course. could not attain perfection during so iim- tied time but strawt eries flourish as in no other parts, the berry growing 10 enormous size and ripening with a
 flavor that won for it preference over all other similar products imported
 from outside of Arizona. The straw.
 berry season on fhe Irwin ranch is
 now drawing to close. but the tempt
 ing climate seems to urge the plant
 to still further duty, for but yester
 lay the exscting palate of ye serb. was tickled by generous quantity O this. luscious product, treat for the
 gods, this i:ngerng sweetress iron ? Natures reserved iarder as it were.
 The Ir~ir ranch yields bountifully its c pabili;ies are not confined to tn, ! production of any one particular
 I~.-l deriul size, are smooth, free from de feet and are of that me lly variety st generally sought by the epicur an
 Tue yield is large and ready marke . awaits tine product Tn Tombstone Bishee and other nearby places.
 Now that other plants have yielded ; so generously Mir. Irwin has extended . his industry to that of tomato grow
 ing and has something like S,00t
 plants in bearing, the quality oi whicf
 Is manifestly sunerior tr shipments from distant points, as is evidenced by the fact that the demand Is in excess of the production.
 The productiveness of the Irwir ranch should have a stimulstive ef-
 feet upon those who must needs b 1 shown, and with this AoTe in lev the PRosPECToR makes the above mt n
 tion. Wherever water can be had prosperity awaits the industrious. Ans | in this connection we will sugges
 hat a more inviting section doe, no |, exist than m the Sulphur Spring Val
 ley where an ireimustible supply o water can be had by sinking from
 eight to twenty feet below the surface
 This valley alone, when put under cultivation, would be capable of sup plying the Cochise ,unty market de mand for potatoes and other vege
 ables that now come from abroad.

4 NOTABLE OHIO EVENT.
Tablet Commemorating First Settle ment in Old Northwest Territory
 Unveiled at Marietta.
MANY PROMINENT PERSONS PRESENT
Mrs. Nicholas Longworth Unveiled tho Tablet and Addresses Were Made by Gov. Harris and Nice-Presiddnt Fair banks While Prof. Hart of Harvard Delivered the Historical Address.

| Marietta, O., Oct 19.--A tablet com- memorating the first permanent set- clement in the old Northwest Terri tory" was unveiled here Thursday on the college campus in the presence of a large and distinguished gather- ing of prominent citizens from all parts of the country. Whitelaw Reid is the president of the Ohio company, which although organized in 17S6 was not incorporated until 1902 and the present memorial was prepared under the auspices of that society and ,,n- yelled by Mrs, Nicholas I.ongworth, daughter of President Roosevelt. Gov. Andrew L. Harris and Vice President c. w. Fairbanks spoke and the his torical address on the occasion was by Prof. Albert Bushnell Hart, of Har- yard. university.
 Prof Hart brought out in his ad- dress the influences of the west upon the east and incidentally the influences of New England upon the western states His paper was largely his- torical, containing many comparisons of Ohio and New England conditions.
 Tt was the success of the western common school" he said, however crude or imperfectly organized which probably stimulated the eastern states so that 50 years from the founding of Ohio every northern state had gen. eral public schools. It was the west which first recognized the possibility of college education for girls
 Prof. Hart held that the great con- tribution of the west to American gov ernment was in the extension of the suffrage which sprang from the desire to stimulate immigration. This flame of popular government, swept backward across the mountains and within 40 years of the planting of Ohio had practically overrun every New England state. The speaker added:
 The influence of the universal suff- rage has been diminished, first, by the widespread disposition to exclude race of 10.000,OO0 altogether; and second, from the neutralizing influence from masses of voters, casting their ballots as directed by employers. or by political machines but there is less likelihood of any serious diminu- tion of this privilege in any other part of the country"

WOMEN HELD PRISONERS.
Are Awarded Damages Against a We'll.
 to-do Arkansas Farmer

Helena, Oct. 16.-A conclusion was reached here today in the two damage suits for $50, 900 each that were instituted by Adelaide Witt and Marian Emmons, both of St. Louis, against Thomas H. Musgrave, well-to-do Arkansas farmer, of Garfield, Mississippi county. The jury assessed damages at $625 in favor of Miss Witt and at $l,000 in favor of Miss Emmons.
 Musgrave's council stated. after the verdict was rendered. that he would not prose- cute an appeal, and that he would terminate the proceedings by pay ing the amounts assessed against him.
 The young women claimed damages on the allegation that they were lured to Musgrave's place in Arkansas and held there against their will. Musgrave on the other hand, ayerred that he went 10 St. Louis and secured Mss Witt to come to Garfield to act as housekeeper for him. He declared that Miss Witt expressed a desire for a companion, and that he accordingly engaged Miss Emmons.
 The two plaintiffs alleged that after they were induced to go to Garfield they were virtually held as prisoners by Musgrave, and that no one else occupied the house. Miss Witt said that she escaped and that Miss Emmons was later rescued by deputy sheriffs.

Annual Encampmsnt Promises to be Full

From Fort Smith Tim
 The pathos of the civil war IS to be seen in the bent forms, grizzled boards, wrinkled faces of the men who are gathering in Fort Smith today representing that class of patriots who fought valiantly and determinedly for what they believed was a right inherent.
 Nearly all of these grizzlcd veterans are in that season of pathetic age from which the grave can be distinctly seen and veneratlou which goes out t. them unasked, a homage which is their full due and the founda- tion of a remembrance. which will last until Time clashes with Eternity, comes only from a full heart in the breasts of their children.
