When Mr. l.. Il. Button came to
Decorah seven years ago and opened a
very meagerly stocked racket store in
the Solberg building, it was little
thought that in so short time he
would become such notable factor
in Decorah's business circles. That
he has accomplished something out of
the ordinary is due TO his indefatiga.
BILE energy. his business pluck and
courage, his adherence to the policy
of one price only and that the lowest
possible, and liberal and judicious
use of printers ink
When he first opened his store he
filled one side with lamp chimneys
and other cheap wares to make a good
showing, and his stock was indeed
small Gradually he has won his way

On the east side of the room will
also be found the five and ten cent
tables, which will be made greater
feature of the store than ever Here
articles of almost every description
will be displayed and surprising
bargains offered.
Throughout the entire store there is
an air of elegance and ease of buying
that cannot fail to appeal to the Gus
toners of the store, and in fact it
seems that every convenience for the
conducting OF large and constantly
increasing business has been provided.
From six to ten clerks are employed
to wait upon the trade, and at all
times every detail of the business is
given careful supervision by Mr..
Button himself We congratulate
him upon the success he has made in
DEBORAH, and hope that the future
has in store still greater triumphs in
business way.
The formal opening of the new store
will take place next Saturday, Mon

GREAT BOON TO SHEEP

|
 k. $. Gosney, of Flagstaff, one of the most extensive sheepmen in the United States, and one of the lead ing figures in the financial circles of the territory, is at present in this county visiting his various sheep camps. MT. Gosney in converse tion with Gazette reporter, dis cussed at length the question of range ground for sheep.
 Mir. Gosney is very close observer of all conditions pertain ing to the sheep. business and watches with great care everything looking to the betterment of his extensive focks. Some twenty five years ago the gentleman says alfleree or 'filaree," as the grass is commonly called. was brought into Arizona in the wool of band of sheep shipped in from California. The fur seed thus imported to our soil took root and in a few years several acres of the great grass was noticed growing in Yavapai county but little attention was paid to it. however, as the range men of Ari- zona were not ia miliar with it's good qualities.
 A few years after this seed took root in Arizona severe drought prevailed, which continued from year5to year up to four years ago. While the new grass failed to show it's head on the ranges, owing to the absence of rains, yet the roots did not rot, as the elevation was considerable and the air pure and dry, but when the rains of four years ago appeared, the grass again made it's appearance and grew and spread with marvellous rapidity, and today there are in Arizona probably 10000 acres of this useful feed growing and thriv- ing, most of it in Maricopa county.
 Mir. Gosney is of the opinion that it is one of our country's greatest assets. It supplies a nutritious and fattening food for the large and increasing herds of sheep that come to our county, without in any manner interfering or tres passing upon the rights or privi- leges of cattlemen, as the grass grows and thrives in localities far removed from water. Mr. Gosney says that ofter sucking lambs are marketed and bring first class prices. fresh from the grazing domain of the great grass.
 Both Maricopa county and the sheepmen are to be congratulated upon the matter as it will soon solve the vexed question that has created bad feeling between cattle and sheep men. So mote it be- Gazette.

 Public gambling reached it's end in Phoenix. Friday, February 1 It is due to stop in Douglas at mid night February 2S. On the first of April the territorial law abolishing gambling will go into effect. This means that the money which has heretofore went to support the gambling houses and fraternity will be turned into the channels of legitimate trade; it will mean more happy homes, less uLpaid grocery store and butcher bills, more and larger bank accounts and many other desirable conditions. It will mean that some of the intellectual ly bright men, heretofore engaged in the gambling houses as operators of the various gambling devices, will turn their ability into walks of life which mean a better man hood and higher plane of citizen Iship.-Douglas American.

Gone Forever

Ten years ago Coconino county farmer put his initials on a dollar bill. The next day he went to the nearest town and spent it with a merchant. Before the year was out he got the dollar back. Four times in six years the dollar came back to him for produce and three times he heard of it in the pocket of his neighbors.
 The last time he got it back four years ago. He sent it to a mail order house. He has never seen that dollar since. and never will. That dollar bill will never pay any more school or road tax for him, will never build or brighten any of the homes of the community. He sent it entirely out of the circle of usefulness to himself and his neighbors. Keep your money in Arizona. Patronize your loca merchants and ask for home made goods when you do SO.
