A CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

The Mesa Chamber of Commerce
sent out last fall little booklet
descriptive Of the section around
Mesa and its resources, and also
advertising the Salt River Valley,
The results have been surprising
to the business men of that sec
tion. Letters from all parts of the
country have been received asking
for more literature and informa.
tlou about Mesa and its surround
ings. In consequence the mem.
bers of the Mesa Cham Der of Com
merce are greatly encouraged and
will make campaign for home
seekers that will be sure to meet
with success.
The Gila Valley, through a
Chamber of Commerce, could be
just as successful. 10 fact, it could
be more so. Our climatic con.
ditions are better, our land is rich
or, our irrigation system one of
the best that can be found any.

IF Arizona had few of the big
investors who helped TO make Col
orado famous it would be the
greatest mining district in tie
world Last year Arizona mines
yielded s67, 900, 900, mostly in low
grade ores. 1t is not, however, a
poor mans land except insofar as
the poor man wants to locate a
cl.im aud hold it until capital
comes along. In the Cherry Creek
and Jerome districts there are
large veins that can b. traced for
miles into the hills. 1t is absurd
to go abroad to obtain mineral
ground or wealth when it can be
secured in Arizona with less ex.
crtion, peril and capital than any
where else in the world The

Big Famine in Russia is tx
peCted Durinq Winter.

The likelihood of another fam
inc in Russia during the coming
winter was admitted by repre-
sentative of the Minister of the
Interior in the -Duma, in answer
to an Interpolation regarding the
present condition of Russian crops.
Two-thirds of the winter wheat
is a failure in eighteen provinces,
the Southern district being the
worse off. Two and one-half mil
lion acres of land have not been
seeded.
Warm weather in June and an
abundance of rain in the center
and south have somewhat improv-
ed the prospect of the spring
wheat crop, but nevertheless relief
measures on a large scale will be
necessary both for seeding and
feeding purposes.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
The Circus Trust, the Latest
Addition to the lOnQ List Of
MOnOpoIieS Tries to Cut Out
the Parade.

When the circus trust was form
ed last winter, the heads of the or
ganization assembled and decided
to try and eliminate the parade as
a feature in the coming circus sea-
son. The enormous refitting, re-
guiding, painting and trapping
each year was the cause, and with
out thought that of discomfort
and disappointment of their thous-
ands of little friends who each
season with their mite had made
possible the success of these big
shows they decreed that the pa
rade must 90 and the members of
the trust without voice dissent
ing, voted yes, but they had reck-
Oned without host, for of course
to make this rule effective all the
circuses, whether in the combine
or not, must be induced to give up
their parade, so they sent a repre-
sentative to those who for reasons
of their own were not in the trust
and be it said to the credit of the
Robinsons, they refused point
blank to give up their parade, and
the scheme fell through. Recog-
nizing as they do that many of
their little friends are not always
able to attend when the show
comes to the city they have always
provided a parade upon which a
wealth of time and money is spent
each year and it will always be
one of the features of the John
Robinson Big Circus as it has been
every season of the eighty-six
years that they have catered to
the amusement loving public of
this country. Will exhibit here
on Thursday, July Is.

TRUST HAS Low
GRADE TOBACCO
And Independent Manufacturers
Are Hard Up.

Developments tend to show that
the independent tobacco concerns
are at the mercy of the American
Tobacco Company, better known
as the Trust, and are in position
to be ruthlessly squeezed" if not
put out of business by their pow
erful competitor.
The American Tobacco Com
pany, through it's Representatives
and brokers, bought up all the
lower grades of Burley tobacco
now in the pool of the Equity So
ciety, leaving only the higher
grades unsold.
The official statement was made
from the Society headquarters that
all the lower grades had been dis
posed of, but it was not stated who
got it.
Now these Independent concerns
have been using low grades, sched-
uled at Is cents a pound and
under, buying a few hogsheads
each week as needed, believing
that the supply in the pool would
last indefinitely, until the 1907
crop was on the market.
The Independents have awakened
to the fact that somebody, pre-
sumably the Trust, has cornered
the supply of low grade tobacco,
and there is none to be had for
love or money.
The only thing that offers any
promise of relief is for the Burley
Society to put the 1907 crop on
the market and give the Independ-
ents a chance at the lower grades
of that crop.

Ian
Tor Kidding the Church of I'm
faithful Members ArOuSeS
Interest.

Religious circles have been
deeply interested by the recent ac-
ton of the Central Christian
Church, of Lexington, in propos-
ing that all members who do not
regularly attend or contribute to
the church, shall be denied the
privileges of a member in good
standing and shall be refused let
tiers to other churches. This
proposition is qualified by the pro-
vision that. should the "backsli
der" show signs of overcoming his
or her delinquencies, he or she
may be taken back into the church
at the expiration of six months,
this being probation" period,
before the new church register is
prepared.
1t is also further resolved that a
new fellowship register be pro-
vlded for the church in which only
the names of those members sh; |
be recorded who are active, or
who are members in spirit as well
as in name. In determining the
names which shall be written in
the new register, the following
questions shall apply:
First-Do they show an inter-
est in the churchl
Second-Do they bear a reputa-
ton for honesty and morality3
Third-Do they attend the
church services as they should at
tend9
Fourth-Do they observe the
Lords Supper as they should OBJ
serve it?
Fifth-Do they contribute faith
fully for the support and spread
of the Gospel! -
SiXth-If faithful in the past, do
they now promise sincerely to do
better!
The board of church officers
who submitted the proposition
have decided to defer voting on it
until in the autumn, as it is a mat
ter of such far-reaching impor-
lance.

MADISONVIlLE
Goes "Dry" By Thirty-Seven
Majority.

The local option election held in
jacksonville Wednesday resulted
in victory for the "drys" by a
majority of 81 votes. The cam
paign was warm one for the
past three weeks, men, women and
children, colored and white, en-
gaging in the fight.
At 5 o'clock Wednesday morn
ing prayer services were held at
every church in the city, which
was continued every hour during
the day until the polls closed. At
6 o'clock several hundred children
marched through the streets carry
ing banners and singing prohibi-
ton songs. The children marched
about the streets several times du-
ring the day, singing songs and
carrying their banners. A big
meeting was held in front of the
courthouse and fully 1900 people
were present. Union prayer SER
vices were later held at the Taber-
nacle.
There are twelve saloons in Mad
isonville. The licenses OF several
will expire this year, while others
have just recently been renewed,
>and the last saloon to go out will
be July Z, 1909. The election
held few years ago was carried
by the "wets" by over 200 major
itv.

PREACHER IS KILLED
IN HIS PULPIT.
Struck By Lightning While Con-
Quoting Revival Services.

China, Tex, July 6.-While
shaking hands with convert the
Rev. T. H. Feagin, who was con-
Quoting the revival service here,
was struck and killed by bolt of
lightning. God bless you, bro
Their and preserve -" were his
last words.
He was prominent Baptist
minister and has been conducting
a revival service in the Baptist
church. He had just finished his
sermon and had called on the sin
ners to come forward and repent,
when rain and electrical storm of
great violence broke forth.
The preacher, leaning forward
from his pulpit, was shaking hands
with the persons who had an
swered his appeal. Before he
could finish the sentence or release
his hold on the outstretched hand
the bolt came.
1t penetrated the roof of the
edifice, tearing away part of the
covering and wrecking the pulpit.
The pastor dropped to the floor
without word.

Before and After Cleveland.

1t is sometimes necessary to
take glance backward in order
fully to understand the growth
the industrial growth-of this
country.
Mr.. Cleveland dies at the ace of
seyenty-one, having retired from
his second term as President when
he was sixty years of ace.
President Cleveland signed the
first Interstate Commerce Act,
which has been on the statute
books little over twenty years.
When Mr.. Cleveland was elected
in 1884 there were $4,000 post
offices in the United States and no
rural delivery. In 1907 there
were $4,000 postofiices and a rural
delivery covering a large part of
the country. In 1884 the revenue
of the postotfice was 43 million. In
1907 it was 1873 million.
In 1884 the Western Union had
$50 miles of wire and $4,000
Offices. 1t sent annually AZ mil
lion messages. In 1907 it had l.
32l 900 million miles wire, "a, 900
Offices and sent "A million MESA
ges year. The Postal Telegraph
and Cable Company, competing
with the Western Union, was not
in operation in 1884, and in 1907
it had 328,OOO miles of wire,
5000 offices and sent % stjlion
messages year.
In 1884 there were 1875, 900
miles of railroad in operation; in
1907, 225,000 miles of railroad.
In 1894 the total gross receipts
of the railroads were no million,
and in 1907, $500 million.
In 1884 we imported merchan-
disc valued at GA million. In
1907 we imported merchandise
valued at ,434 million.
In 1884 our exports were valued
at 125 million. In 1907, 1858

GOebel Monument Ready to Come.

The $4,000 monument to be
erected in the Frankfort Cemetery
over the grave of William Goebel
has been completed and is now
ready for shipment. 1t will re-
quire several freight cars to trans
port the ponderous stones COM
prising the base. The statue is a
heroic figure of Goebel about ten
feet high. Both the monument
and statue will reach Frankfort in
the next thirty days. The unveil-
ing will probably not take place
until the next anniversary of Goe-
bells death in February, 1909.

BUSINESS IS BETTER.
Improved Trade Outlook Regard
less of Presidential Cam
paign.

AT Washington Trea sury
officials are very much encouraged
by the growing indications that
business is not going to suffer as a
result of the presidential campaign
no% at hand. From every part of
the country comes evidence of the
phenomenon of improving business
on the eve of presidential cleo
ton.
Even with the best of business
conditions, there will still be a de-
ficit and a large one, but with re-
ceipts going up instead of down
the deficit can be viewed with
more or less equanimity.
This condition becomes all the
more mystifying in view of the
fact that both parties are advoca-
ing revision of the tariff schedules.
Not only are both parties COM
mitted to revision of the tariff, but
both will 90 before the country
giving promise that they continue
the war on business corruption in
augurated by Mr.. Roosevelt. And
even this is not sufficient to throw
business into a spasm of fear. The
crops are ripening without any re-
gard to the political issues of the
day. Railroads and industries are
putting men at work who have
been idle.
Students of economics are ask
ing if this means the divorce of
business and politics.
There is today no vital economic
differences between the policies of
the two great parties. Both are
advocating substantially the same
governmental policies, so far as
business is affected.
And business, finding there are
no issues between the parties Sc
riously affecting its interests, loses
its interests.
