WICHITA BEWITCHFD
 OR SIMPLY DITCHED
Plenty of Electricity Flying Eastward.
 But Yet No Reply.

Up to late last night no reply had been received by Manager Goldberg from the Wichita team. though it has been more than forty-eight hours since the first telegram was sent. Another was sent later, but whether either was received by the manager of the nine who addressed the letter to Phoenix. is not known. Transportation was also wired the players. but it has not been ascertained if it has been taken up or still lies unused. This quandary leaves the Phoenix management in a peculiar position. Until Wichita is heard from no one knows whether to go ahead and prepare for the tournament or secure other available players or prepare for the worst.
 Tucson is scared up by the Wichita ghost which haunts the players in the old pueblo in their sleep, for that team .is a fraction better than anything the southern Arizona towns have secured. They need not become shaky in their shoes tilI Phoenix has a more ceYain promise of having q team in time for the big show. However. by fair time there is ns doubt Phoenix will have a crack aggregation of ball players. The greatest regret will prevail here if after all the strenuous efforts keeping the wires hot after men. that Phoenix can not keep her dates with Tucson. But it will not be the fault of MT. Goldberg foS he has sweat drops of blood in the last few days in order to carry the thing through. Then besides there is something known as Phoenix luck.

 The Randolph lines have given out tine following rates for the week from October goth to 27th to Tucson. Gen eral week rate one and one-fourth fare for the round trip.

 Special from Phoenix. due here morning of October 23, s4 for round trip.

 These rates can better be apprecia- ted when it is understood that the regular one-way from Globe is s10S0, from Cananea, s6.60 ;from Douglas, s5.15, and from Bisbee, s4.60. The rate from HermOsillo has not as yet been considered owing to the very recent shift, but it can be taken for granted tha tit will be as liberal as the other rates.

given at the Casa Loma hotel, on which occasion. a number of talented Tempe musicians participated in the program. At every appearance Professor Hein- rich won the hearts of his hearers by his artistic playing. Owing to his con- nection with the School of Music, most or his work was confined solely to the violin. but, however, he did sing oc- casionally, each time with much suc- cess. He was engaged by the Elks to sing in their minstrel show, rendering on that occasion the famous "Toreador Song" from Carmen" which, among other vocal selections, he will sing at the coming concert. by special request. Professor Heinrich has had the good fortune to study under his eminent father. Max Heinrich. all last summer. and all those who have heard him since his return to Arizona have cOmpli- Inented him highly upon the wonderful improvement, in both his naturally rich baritone voice and his artistic in depreciation. He appeared in recital in
 Phoenix a week ago, and immediately became a favorite with his audience. His enunciation is perfect.
 As to his violin playing, nothing need be said. as he has demonstrated Lis talent along these lines here before, and is well known as one of the best

violinists in the territory. Both Mrs. Tiffany and Mrs. Hamilton have lived il this valley for several years ana are immensely popular wherever they ap- pear. They have been associated in concert work for a long time and it is very rarely that one of these talented singers ever appears without the other. Their duet work is very well known, their voices blending perfectly. Any one who has the good fortune of hear ing them in both solo work and duets will never forget the rare treat they will have enjoyed. Professor Heinrich Is. indeed. fortunate in securing the assistance of two such highly talented and able musicians. As to the fourth party, a pianist. one has not as yet been selected for the company. but Professor Heinrich's standing as a musician will warrant this important part of the program being as well rep It sented as the balance.
 The program. which will be pub lished in full in a later edition. will include violin solos. piano solos and vocal solos by Mesdames Tiffany and Hamilton and Mrs. Heinrich. Vocal duets by Mesdames Tiffany and Ham, ilton, also by Mrs. Tiffany and Mir. Heinrich. Vocal solos with violin obli- gato. and will conclude with the fa- nous trio from Faust" by Mesdames Tiffany and Hamilton and Mrs. Hein- rich. assisted by the pianist, thus con- cluding the program with the entire company on the stage The program will commence sharp at s:15 and will be over not later than 9:45.

in September of this year, 1907,
an audience of 1000 to 1900 peo-
pie gathered there on two con-
secutive days, the best order pre-
vailed, not murmur, kindness
and conservation was the watch
word, the noon meal was served
on the grounds. Plenty Of as
fine provisions as arv man ever
ate, and sufficient for twice as
many as were there. All the
peoplelwcrc dressed in the latest
and finest style: ladies by the
score dressed in their silks and
gentlemen in the latest styles
and people Of as fine intelligence
as you would see in any land.
1t would do any lady or gentle
man, no matter where they were
reared, nor what their high at
tainments are, good to come and
naingle with this hospitable,
high minded, kind hearted, be-
nevolent people. Hospitality and
generosity are their watchwords,
and the sun never shcne on a
better people.
The three great denominations,
the Baptist, M. E. South and N.
Z. Church are the strongest de-
nominations in this county and
and perhaps about equally diyid-
cd and worship tremendously to-
gether, however, there is quite
a sprinkling of other denomina-
tons all over the county.
Grantsville is the county seat
situate on the Little Kanawha
River, a little North of the cen
ter of the county, has a little
less than 500 population, has two
Banks, six Stores, some of them
as fine as there are in the inter
Tor Of the State, six Hotels, one
fine FIGURING Mil, one Saw Mil
two Planning Mills, one Furniture
and undertaking establishment,
Wagon and Blacksmith Shop, six
Attorneys-at-law, three fine Ply
sicians, one Drug Store and
about fifty of the prettiest girls
the sun ever snone upon. 1t
makes a man feel good to live
among these good pure minded
generous people. Yes it does.

A Brief Sketch Of CaIhCun County.

[From the other side Of the
continent comes an inquiry to
one of our townsmen fora short
history Of our county and it's
people. We gladly reproduce
it:]
1t is Of my County and people
! want to talk;
Calhoun County lies just q lit
tie North of the center of the
State of West Virginia. It's area
is 260 so. miles. IN the valleys
it is 700 feet above sea level.
It's mountains, or hills, rise in
some places 1900 feet above,
more generally about 1000 feet,
leaving the hills from 300 to 500
feet above the adjacent plains or
valleys.
The Little Kanawha River runs
for forty miles through the
county, just a little North of its
center. This river rises in the
mountains of Webster and Ran
dolph Counties, running West
and emptying into the Ohio River
at Parkersburg. It's length is
about 200 miles. Stacked up
so miles; is navigable on small
rises for boats, so miles farther,
is a very deep sluggish stream
and has a current on a ten foot
rise Of about three miles per
hour. Many boats ply its waters
to Grantsville, the County Seat
of this county, 85 miles from its
mouth. Numerous side streams
enter it from either side in this
county. The West Fork on the
South runs clear through the
county and numerous side
streams enter it from either side.
1t is a very large creek, but is
not navigable for boats; 1t empt-
les into the KanawhR at Creston,
about one mile below the Calhoun
County line, in Writ County, It's
general trend is the Westward

Of sustaining 10000 people, if
cleared out and put under a state
of cultivation. 1t contains about
13,OOU---or about 80 people to the
square mile. Up and down all
these plains and on the flat lands
from one end of the county to
the other, white farm houses dot
valleys and hills. Here dwells

pie as the sun shines upon. As
little crime exists here as in any
county on earth. They are the
AnglO-Saxon Race. All over the
County are white school houses i'm
every nook and corner, and in
each neighborhood you will see a
fine church spire pointing to
heaven. That hospitality for
which the Virginians are noted,
where ever the word Virginia"
IS known, exists here in it's puri-
