Not having seen anything from this
point in your valuable paper for some
weeks and supposing that "Sunfower"
and Zone Who Knows" have both
persisted, will write few lines,
At this writing it looks favorable for
good shedding.
We understand that L. X. Fike is
making all preparations necessary for
Washington's Birthday entertainment
at his school
am informed that Jasper Fike
spends two nights every week down in
town.
U. S. Savage has sold his farm and
the greater part of "our town" for the
sum of $1,000.
Mr. +. j. Bowser met with an acct
dent few days ago. He got cut in the
head with an axe by one of his sons.
His boys were splitting pit props and he
walked up behind one of them and not
knowing his father was behind him he
was cut in the head DIR. Meyers was
called and he put in three stitches to
close the cut.
We extend our congratulations to
lone Who Knows" for telling a few
facts concerning the Fike postoffice as
the postmaster says it had the required
effect.
Mr.. F. j. Bowser is one of the lead
ing fur dealers of this section. He
bought two minks and shipped them
and after getting his returns he quit
the business.
Mr.. F. I. Fike is well pleased that
the supervisorship has been given to
some one else and the people of this
county may be glad if they get even
worse things than fish ponds in the
breakers.

ACCIDENTALLY SHOT HIMSELF.
lam Feather Received Load of
Bird Shot in His Right Side.

William Feather, aged nineteen
years, son of Joseph Feather, who re-
sides on farm adjoining Crellin, four
miles from Oakland, was seriously
wounded last Thursday afternoon by
the discharge of his shot gun, the load
of shot penetrating his right side and
infiicting flesh wound.
@Young Feather had been in the woods
cunning when he attempted to set the
stock of his gun upon log covered with
snow and ice. The firearm slipped off
and the hammer coming in contact
with the log fired it, the load penetrat-
ing his right side just below his ribs.
The gun being fired from an angle the
shot went through the flesh and under
meath the muscles of his side, and TAX
ing an upward course were extracted
above the right hip by DR.. Legge, who
was called to attend the injured man.
The patient is recovering rapidly.

The Honest Printer,

Various newspapers in the country
have commented, mirthfully and other
wise, on the fact that the Ohio Peniten-
tiary News has been forced to suspend
publication because there are no print
ers in that institution to set the type
and get out the paper. Very naturally
the circumstance is considered credita-
BILE to the craft. There are more than
twenty bankers in the Ohio peniten-
tiary, with lawyers, doctors, brokers
and other "highly respectable" citizens
to spare, but not single printer is num-
bered among the convicts, and the Lord
only knows when there will be. Hurrah
for the art preservative.-P Portland

principles of honesty, truthfulness and
love that shone effulgent in his daily
walk through life, and of the tender ties
that had grown up between them as
they were thrown much together. In
his words of tender consolation to the
bereaved relatives and friends, Rev.
Reese conveyed an impressive message
to all present. Rev. Reese was follow
ed Rev. Queen in one of the most pow
crful sermons of the kind ever heard in
Grafton. Rev. Queen, after delivering
a beautiful eulogy on the life of the de-
ceased, appealed in the strongest Ian
guage possible to the many young men
present to emulate the example of Mr..
Kimmell and to live that when the hour
of death draws nigh they too can look up
and say they are not afraid to die and
that ''all is we'll" Following Rev.

as duet. Opportunity was then given
the friends to view the remains, and
several hundred people passed up the
aisle and alongside the casket. The
remains were encased in a handsome
black cloth-covered casket with side
length silver handles. There were
eight beautiful floral offerings of sym
pathy, among them being several beau
tiful designs. The deceased had been a
member of Vincent's band, and this or
ganization sent floral drum, composed
Of white carnations and dark green
foliage. The band boys turned out in

eight Of them acted as flower carriers.
The pail bearers were Messrs Harry

Frank Hinkins, Bert and Edward Pratt,
all of whom had been close friends Of
the deceased during his residence in this
city. Interment was made in Bluemont
cemetery. where the remains were ten

funeral was under direction of Under

Funeral Of Perry z. Kimmeli.

The funeral Of Mr.. Perry Z. Kimmell
occurred yesterday afternoon at two
O'Clock from the residence of Mrs. Bind
Lake on Dewey avenue, West Side,
where the remains had been taken
shortly after death. Services were held
in the Methodist Protestant church. of
which Rev. c. l.. Queen is pastor and
We're conducted by Rev. Queen and Rev.
E. Berten Reese. The church and Sun

friends of the deceased who braved the
mid-winter cold to pay last tribute of
respect to one who who was held in high
este EN- by every man, woman and child
in Grafton who had become acquainted
with him during his residence here. As
the funeral cortege entered the church
choir Of picked voices sang asleep in

Lead Kindly Light. - Rev. Queen
then delivered an earnest and pathetic
prayer. He was followed by Rev.
Reese, who in announcing the familiar
hymn, Jesus, Savior Pilot Me-" de-
scribed it as the favorite hymn of the
deceased young man, sung recently by
the speaker upon request of his now
dead friend. After this hymn Rev.

SUDDEN DEATH OF 4 Transfer.
His Lifeless Body Found Beneath
Loaded Lumber Sled Monday
Morning.

This deplorable occurrence took place
about 8 O'Clock Monday morning, Jan
uary %, 1907. Mr.. Lansbery was
teamster at the Luzier saw mill east of
Swanton and near the Potomac river.
The victim of the accident, it appears,
left the mill at 73O in the morning with
sled partly loaded with lumber for
Barnum, four miles from the mill. In
about twenty minutes the mentioned
sled was followed by another sled which
soon overlook the Lansbery sled, stand
ing still on good road, with one horse
partly thrown down by the strained ten
sion of rein caught under the runner
of the loaded sled, while under the rear
runner, on the same side, laid the life
less body of Mr.. Lansbery. Theteamster
FASTENED back for aid and the body still
warm was quickly extricated from its
horrible position.
No plausible explanation Of the acct
dent can be had. Dr. Fazenbaker found
the neck broken and it IS surmised that
the unfortunate man lost his balance,
or in an effort to recover his fallen rein,
fell forward, was caught under the run
ner and dragged short distance.
He was nearly fifty-two years of age
and leaves in Swantor very dependent
family of a wife and three small chill
dren, and leaves also seven children
from previous marriage The re-
mains will be taken to Tucker county,

undertaken the construction of dam to
meet the conditions bat all private en-
terprises of the kind with regard to this
project have failed, by reason of its
sheer magnitude. By good fortune,
however, the Reclamation Service of
the United States has become interest
ed in this project, now known as the
Elephant Butte Project. The Service
has agreed with people of the valley to
build large dam to retain the waters
of the Rio Grande This project when
completed is estimated to cost about
100000. Already the Service has let
contract for a small dam to divert
the water from the river into the
bitches, costing $500, 900. This diver
sion dam will be completed by next
May.
The assurance of water in the future
gives this country bright prospect.
Many eastern and northern people are
being attracted here. There is plenty
room for large population. Only
small part Of the valley is as yet under
cultivation.
Jean Viljeon, general Of the late Boer
army, bought large farm not long ago
near Las Cruces. 1t is his purpose to
establish 4 colony here, composed of
Beers dissatisfied with British rule ct
home. The general seems to have in
him the making Of as good a farmer as
he was a soldier.
This valley is adapted to growing al
most all kinds Of crops. Alfalfa is the
most profitable crop at present. 1t is
called the lazy mans crop as it re-
quires very little work, besides harvest
ing and irrigating. When once planted
successfully it, unlike clover, requires
no reseeding. In favorable years FIVE
crops can be cut. It is onsidered a
better food that clover or timothy for
fattening stock. Wheat grows and
yields well. Fruits of all kinds do well.
especially grapes. Nothing is more de-
licious than the Mission grape which is
as sweet as sugar. The Muscal grape
is also decided favorite. Its favor is
excellent and it is a good keeper. We
are all familiar with the California pre-
duct packed in saw dust A white wine
is made from this grape which is very
high in alcohol, Apples, though grown
successfully, are not as well adapted to
this climate as other fruits.
About three miles from Las Cruces
is the old town of Mesilla. 1t is typi-
cal Mexican village. In appearance it
is very much delapidated Many of TIE
adobe house have partly fallen down,
and one can with difficulty imagine that
this was once prosperous town. Dur
the Civil War and several years follow
ing this was stir ring place.
The Overland Mail Company ran
stages from st. Louis to California
passing through this place There was
also a stage line from Santa Fe to
Mexico 1t was soon after the war
that Senator Stephen 3. Elkins came to
the territory and located in Mesilla. 1t
was here that he and Thomas B. Ca
iron, now a leading lawyer Of Santa Fe,
studied law Senator Elkins even in
that early day took keen interest in
politics, and soon afterwards he repre-
sented the territory in Congress.

THE WEST SURPASSES THE EAST
A consideration of the figures for
, the sections east and west of the
Mississippi shows that at the census
of 1900 the value of products was
greater in the east than in the west.
Between 1900 and 1905, however.
the value Of products increased only
3,3 per cent in the east, While in the
west II increased 500 per cent, The
west thus became more important
for at the census of 1905 its pro-
ducts We're valued at $14,057,523,
while the products of the east were
valued at only S10.733.676.
