Big Damages.

'I will brirg suit against the Pres colt Journal Miner and the Arizona Gazette for just as heavy damages as the law will allow, and I will show them whether they can publish me to the world as deadbeat and get away with it"
 J. J. Healy, Hearst's man "Friday" in Arizona, raised his voice as he de- nounced the effort that has been made to be-llttle and discredit him in Ariz
 As soon as he learned that he had been branded before the public as ''deadbeat" and ''liar," Healy i'm mediately telegraphed to California to get into communication with Judge A. 0. Baker, whom he desires to consult regarding the filing of his damage suit
 Baker IS expected to return to Phoe- nix shortly. and not long after he re- turns Healy plans to file damage suits in Prescott and Phoenix, and those who have toyed with his reputation made answer in the courts -Ex.

 E. Aguirre, head of the most ex- tensive farming enterprise in the Santa Cruz valley, was a visitor in Florence this week. He and his associates own and farm several thousand acres of land situated just west of Sasco a short distance. They utilize the flood waters of the Santa Cruz in irrigating this land and between the flood periods cultivate it in accordance with the dry farming system. They are making a great success of the undertaking. They are also extensively engaged, in con- nection with their farming, in cattle growing g.-Florence Blade
 The total output of the Arizona Copper company for the month of July was 1920 tons of Bessemer copper The above figures are slightly under those of the previous month. caused by numerous delays on account of the installation of the new shelter stack The company Lad use of but two fur naces and now there are three con- nected. Before the middle of August the fourth one will be connected and the new construction work completed. At present a small amount of fine dust can be seen around the works and when the new stack is finished it is predicted that 1t will disappear entire ly. Minor delays may occur during August, but it is more than probable that larger output will bs made than last month.-Copper Era.
 A Paradise resident would naturally suppose the total rainfall for this month would amount to foot, at least. Not so. All the rain water the governments guage here could corral during the first seventeen days of the month totals only 3S9 inches. The heaviest rainfall in that period occurred on the 9th inst, when the fall was 1.3O inches; the next largest fall-0S0 of an inch-occurred on the 18th. Ia the vicinity of this place the range IS now Ia excellent condi- tion, the grass, which is every where. being from 12 to Is or 20 inches in height. Ranger Averett states that the Big Bend country, on the south western edge of the reserve, has been even more favored than Paradise, be- ing truly meadow. The excessive rainfall there is doubtless accounted for by the fact that the Big Bend is a valley lying between the Chiri- cahua and Swisshelm mountains, by by which it's climate is inhuenced.- Record.

Died at Ashland.

The death of Mrs. Hugh Ross
of this city occurred at the ST.
Joseph hospital at Ashland last
Sunday afternoon at FIVE O'Clock.
Mrs. Ross has been very sick
for some time and on Saturday
was taken to the hospital in the
hopes of saving her life, but she
kept gradually growing weaker
until death relieved her of her
sufferings. Mrs. Ross was
forty-two years at the time of
her death, and leaves husband
and six children to mourn her
death. She has been resident
of this city for number
of years. The funeral services
we're held from the late resi-
dence Tuesday morning, Rev.
Chr. Christensen of the NOrwe-
gian Luthern church officiating.
Interment took place in the Pro
testant cemetary.

Biz Families.

That Washburn will hold it's
own when it comes to big families
is a fact which the school census
which have just been completed
will prove. The census just
taken shows that there were
1891 children of school age in the
city and out of thisnum Der there
were fifty families that had six
and over, six families having as
many as eight between the ages
of four and twenty. Many of
the families in the city have as
many as ten and twelve children,
and some will even exceed this
nun Der. The Roosevelt theory
of large families evidently will
hold good here.

HAYWARD Won.

The Washburn boys were ap.
parently not in it in their base,
ball game at Hay ward last Sun
day afternoon as the score would
indicate. The score was twelve
to two. The boys went down on
the afternoon train with the
avowed attention of coming back
with the scalps of the Hayward
bunch but they evidently had
over estimated their strength,
for the Hayward team played all
around them at every stage of
the game. The local team is
capable of putting up fairly
good game at times, but they are
somewhat in need of practice
and with this will be able to hold
their own with any of the teams.

Biz Good Roads Convention

Preparations are being made
for one of the biggest Good
Roads Conventions ever held in
the country. The first Stat tie
Convention. held last year had
nearly two thousand people pre-
sent, and a permanent organiza-
ton was formed with Ex-Gov-
ernor Hoard as President.
This State Convention was con-
siderably larger than any of the
the National Good Roads gather
ing that have been held in many
years, and from the interest al
ready manifested it seems prob
able that there will be more dele
gates present this year than last.
Every town chairman in the
State has been asked to suggest
the names of prominent farmers
in his locality who will be ap-
pointed as delegates.
The State Good Roads Asso-
citation is very much interested
in the amendment to the State
constitution which must be
passed by the people in our Nov
ember elections before our state
can give state money to aid the
farmers to pay for building
roads. This amendment will
doubtless be very thoroughly
discussed.
The committee aims to make
this convention better than the
one last year. It is planned, in
so far as time will permit, to
give each delegate who desires
it an opportunity to discuss any
of the questions under consider
alton. Tie meeting will not be |
held on the State Fair Grounds |
as last year, but in some large
hall down town. The place will
be announced later.

the journey cn bicycles and on
foot. Mr.. and Mrs. Warden had
made ample preparation to ac-
comodate the large crowds and
after their arrival everything
was turned over to them to make
the most of it. The evening was
spent in dancing, playing cards,
and other sports both in and out
side the house. A large pile of
stumps which had been prepared
for the occasion was set afire so
that everything for half mile
around was Illuminated in fine
shape. At twelve o'clock a
sumptuous lunch was served to
all present. 1t was along in the
wee. small hours of the morning
before the last of the guests had
bid their hosts good-by and had
left for their homes. Those that
were there say that they had the
time of their lives, and the oc-
casion will long be remembered.

entertainers as all present will
agree.
