J. C. 0ttman Engages in Mineral Hate
 Business

J. C. Ottman, an old time resident of this section and who was con- nected with the A. c. Metcalf store for many years, is now permanently located at Albuquerque, N. M., where he has engaged in the mineral water business. MT. Ottman is a man of considera ble business ability and shortly after his arrival at Albnquer- que, organized The Artesian Mineral Water company with capitalization of S35, ,000. The new company bought out the T. J. Topham Bottling works, whicL concern has been doing a flourishing business for the past several years. The Alvarado mineral water, according to an expert analysis, is superior to Shasta, Main tou and other we'll known mineral water, and is fast taking its place among the leaders.
 MT. Ottman is manager of the new company and is meeting with much success in building up splendid busi- ness in the southwest. The Alvarado mineral water is being used exten- sively in New Mexico and especially Fl Paso and within a short time it will find its way to Arizona. As a health restOrer Alvarado water can not be beaten and can be drank in any quantity with beneficial results. Besides, the mineral water the new company will do general bottling business, ginger ale, soda, sarsaparill, root beer and iron brew.
 MT. Ottman's many friends in this section will be pleased to learn that he has met with much success in securing new business since he took the position of manager.

EfHE people in Clifton are anxiously a&8iting the arrival of MT. J. G. Hop kias, the newly elected president of thsArizona. Copper company. Out side of the Hon. James Colquhoun, a nIpfe popular appointment could not have been made. People who are personally acquainted with MT. Hop kins are free in their expressions of confidence in him as the man for the position, and everybody is deeply in- terested to learn what course he will pursue in the operation of the mother copper company of the Clifton-Mo- renei district. That his actions will meet with the approval of the share holders of the company and the peo- ple,of Clifton there is little doubt.

County Treasurer Ben Clark has given out statement announcing that delinquent taxes for 1907 amount to S1l, ,225, being less than eight per cent This is a most satisfactory showing for the taxpayers of Graham county when it is considered that the tax collectors of many other counties in Arizona have announced a delin- quency of about one-third. But that is nothing for old Graham, as she usually does more and makes less fuss about it than any other county in the territory.

2 IN EVERY mining camp of any consequence there should be monu- hent erected in memory of the pros bector, who fn' reality is due much more recognition than he generally receives. The origin of every great mine of today is the result of much labor. and hardship of some worthy prosPa6tor, who perhaps released his ownership for mere song. There
 would be nothing more appropriate
 than aaonutnent in memory of the
 grand old prospector. The larger mining companies could well afford to show their appreciation in this way.

THE world stands upon the thresh- hold of that season of the year when the thought of christendom instinc- lively turns to the most gladsome day in the annals of recorded time the birthday of the Savior of the World. We may not be able without finite understandings to comprehend the height and depth of the great plan which came forth from the mind of the Infinite and which comprehend ed the redemption of the entire human race, but we find ir the tI4 spIred W ord this passdge of unmis- takable import: "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only be- gotten son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life" In those words we find an epitome of the Divine plan. The motive and the reason are both set forth, and while we may marvel oyer what was comprehended in that plan, we accept it as a great truth and know that the emerging of the world from darkness into light dates from the hour when the Star of Beth lehem flashed across the Judean sky. Jesus Christ was therefore Gods first Christmas gift to a sad and weary world. No wonder that Heavens joy bells rang. No wonder that the gates of Paradise seemed to open while an- gels looked down upon the scene. In that hour was born the spirit of cheer, peace on earth, and good will toward men, which has never died out during all the centuries which have passed. There have been times when its splen- dor has seemed dimmed, and when men appeared to forget the senti- ments of that first Christmas message but on Christmas day itself, few there are who do not count it a privilege to journey in imagination with the wise men of the east, to that humble cradle in the manager which the Christ-child made holy with its pres ence.

CHRIsrMAs is eminently the chill

CHRISTMAS is eminently the chil- dren's day. From the gray of early dawn-it is the only day In winter when their eyes open at that hour at the latest hour at night, let every thing give way to the little autocrats whose tyrany is courted by every man and woman who has any of the essence of love in the breast. Romp and tumble and shout with them. When another Christmas comes, some of them will not be here, and thosc that are will by one year be that much further from the royalty that doth so fttingIy become them. Christmas is for the children-let everything bend to their enjoyment.

When any one has catarrh of the head
or throat they know it. Shutting, sneez-
ing, coughing, splitting, gagging, chok-
ing-these are some of the symptoms.
When any one has catarrh o. the bron-
chial tubes they are not quite so apt to
recognize their trouble as catarrh, al
though there are great many people
who begin to appreciate the fact that ca
tarrh Of the bronchial tubes is sure to
create a cough.
Catarrh produces symptoms according
to the place IN the body where the ca
tarrh is located. Catarrh deranges the
function Of any organ.

duces dyspepsia.

Il Is very important that this bon

To this end It is maintained by q

grades OF schools from the high

OF the universities the secret college
society Is discouraged and by many
prohibited
One of the most recent contests
along this line has arisen in the In

school board in pursuance Of state
statute has notified both the students
and the parents that secret societie'

A roRloRN HOPE.

The hope Is now b>.ing indulged in
by those who do not want statehood
that the President win not approve
the constitution but will pass II up to
congress and thereby escape all fur
ther responsibility in the matter, and
that congress ~;n refuse the state
admission into the union.
The congress has done all that was
necessary for II TO do II passed an
act enabling Oklahoma 10 become i
state II a constitution republican in
form and in compliance with the con
ditions imposed upon the people in
that act should be written and
adopted
The congress was willing to risk
the Judgment of the President on
these questions and left II TO him in
order to expedite the matter.
Those who think the President will
try 10 shirk the responsibility upon a
legal quibble and refer It back ia
congress are entirely mistaken in the
man. There can be no question oi
the right OF the President to act as
his judgment may dictate, ana that
he will act there is little room tC
doubt
II the President ever entertained q
doubt as to his authority to approve
the constitution as prescribed in the
enabling act, he would most certainly
have expressed himself to that efrec
when the enabling act was presented
to him for his approval This he die
not do. but signed the bill without
comment or hesitation.
The President is a politician. Il q
true, but those who place him in th'
peanut class sadly mfsiudge the char
acter of the man.
