Joseph Dent. of the sheep raising firm of Dent and Saver, was in town this week. They expect to com mence the shearlng of their bands in the early part of April. The they are now employing shearers for the work. The shearing will be done on some point on the Grand Canyon railroad. MT. Dent says that the fleece from their bands is exceptionally clean this year, and consequently should bring a little better price than the usual run of wool.
 A short time ago an item went the rounds of the press that A. o. Brodie had been promoted to lieu tenant-colonel. This appears to be a mistake, as MT. Judd, a Grand Army veteran of Prescott. who keeps track of such matters. says that Brodie was promoted from lieu tenant colonel to colonel and assist ant adjutant-general. and has been given four months leave of absence to tour the Orient. Courier.

Work on Casa Grande Rurns

Dr. J. Walter Fewkes and wife, of Washington. D. C., are in town at the Weatherford Hotel. They have been at Casa Grand for several months at work uncovering the ruins of that ancient town, whose former inhabitants are unknown to history. During their stay there wall forming an enclosure of 400x215 feet was partially uncover ed. Within the wall ruins of the former homes were found. The walls of the buildings as we'll as the enclosing walls vary from six to eight feet in height and all are in good state of preservation, al though they were built of adobe. The work had to be suspended on account of the appropriation made by the government for the purpose having been exhausted. Another appropriation has been made and the Doctor trusts that when it is available that he may be sent to continue the interesting work which has for the present been discontinu- ed. Prof. Fewkes expects to re- main here for about three weeks and will visit the ruins north of here towards the Little Colorado river and will make some inspec- tion of the big ruin at Black falls on the river. Seven years ago the Doctor spent year at work in the ruins of the Little Colorado valley north and south of Winslow. and during that time he brought to light large number of ancient pi ,ces of pottery which are now in possession of the government at Washington.

THE RIGHT TO a GOOD TIME.

Marshalltown Times-Republican. =
He sat in the grand stand at the base
ball game Sunday or so ago, he and
three friends. They talked between
exciting moments in the game. 1t de-
veloped from the conversation that Ill
were married men. They had procur-
and had tarried long over 1t during
Sunday The beer ran out, and having
nothing better to do they took in the
base ball game.
In the general conversation one Of
the men stated that on his wages and
with family to care for he found 1t
id hard to get along" The others
agreed. Wages were too low. 1t was
a hard life. The only day they had
was Sunday and they profanely agreed
that a man ought to have some re.
creation. The key came in as part
of the process of recreation.
The fellow that had the hardest
times to get along was smoking 5.
cent cigar. He lit three during the
game -getting recreated.
Now, there is truth in the contention
that everything is high and that u

fellow who paid 40 cents for seat at

He thought he was having It, He
needed recreation and thought he was

worked SO hard and had SO little.
It is noteworthy that not one word
came from his mouth over any de-.

Nothing was said about the old shoes
and scanty wardrobe Of the wife and
children. It did develop that the wife
was at home. and inferentially that
she was due to stay there unless she

would have knocked down the man
who abused them, but he assumed
that he could buy key, get half shot
on Sunday. and forget them with i'm.

THE LlNDsEY-BUcHTEL coNTRo
VERSN

=
just now the press is giving much
publicity to the wordy war between
Ben B.L1ndsey the sociologist and Colo.
rado Juvenile court Judge, and Governor
Buchtel Of Colorado. Lindsey charges
tnat William G. Evans, the Denver
noss. used his influence and Simon
Guggenheim his money to purchase a
seat In the senate for Guggenneim.
Buchtel denies this and points to the
small vote polled by Lindsey in his
governship fight as the reason for his
attacks on Colorado politics. The
Colorado executive also takes pride
IN pointing to the overwhelming vote
he polled over a broken field of rivals
Mr. Buchtel should not take his de-
feat OF the field too much to heart The
big Buchtel majority was In no sense
a complimentary vote to the Denver
minister, for he has always been rec
ognized as the Chancellor Day Of
Colorado. 1t was a split in the demo-
cratic party that elected Buchtel-a
split forced by Senator Patterson
when he read the Mayor Speer faction
out of the party This vote going to
Buchtel IN addition to the vote Lindsey
and Haywood drew away from Adams
proved a boomerang to Mr.. Patterson
and resulted in electing Buchtel and
a Guggenheim legislature.
Much has been said of the rotten
ness Of Colorado politics, but sifted
down the only real bad piece of politics
the state has to its descredit is the
unseating of Alva Adams in 1905 after
he had been elected over Peabody. by
10000 majority. And this was largely
done in retaliation for the unseating
of republican senators and representa-
tives by the democrats in the previous
legislature.
The trouble with Colorado politics
largely is a press so yellow and SO
prone to cry wolf that the people are
hopelessly muddled on political issues.
Back Of all the controversy over the
last election when Adams, the demo-
cratic candidate and Lindsey, the in
dependent candidate, were defeated by
Parson Buchtel, may be seen the hand
of Thomas M. Patterson. Using his
two Denver dailies and his political tn
f1uence to defeat the nomination Of
Alva Adams tor the senatorship and
Lindsey for the governorshtp he was
successful in splitting the party so
hopelesslv that there was never a
question after the convention nomi-
mating Adams for the governorship,
Lindsey already having entered the
race. but that Buchtel and a republi-
can legislature would be elected
Guggenneim may have spent some
money in securing his office, most
men do, but it wasn't necessary. The
issue in the campaign in both the
democratic and republican parties was
not "elect Buchtel and republican
legislature" but down Patterson"
And Patterson was downed.
