To the lumbermen Of Maine are due
the discovery and production Of the
now famouse goose bean. The real
name of the man who planted the first
crop Of this vegetable Is not known.
but there are two rivals for the honor,
and each has most plausible version
Of his discovery Of the bean. John
Goddard, afterward colonel in the civil
war, told this story of how the bean
was first found and grown by him:
He had charge of a gang Of lumber
men during the spring of 1S46 Ths
soft, slumpy snow made the roads ins.
passable for "tote team" and the men
had been without fresh meat for more
than week. Cslsnsi Goddard gave
tho cook orders to taks his gun and -
out to see II he could get shot at the
wild geese which were flying north in
great fiocks. The cook was lucky
enough to bring back several birds for
supper. When he was dressing them
he noticed from the lack Of food In
their crops that they had been on short
rations during their journey north
ward. In the crop Of one young gan.
der were three beans, which Goddard
saved and planted in his garden that
summer. From these three beans he
harvested about two quarts of beans,
and from that first crop came the sup.
ply which has since gladdened the
hearts Of iumbermen throughout the
country.

lighting the Yule L0e.

A custom at one time prevalent In
England and still observed in some OF
the northern districts Of the old coup.
try Is that Of placing an immense log
OF wood, sometimes the root Of a grea5
tree, in the wide chimney place. Thii
log Is often called the Yule log, and 4,
was on Christmas eve that 1t was put
on the wide hearth. Around It would
gather the entire family, and their en-
trance was the occasion Of a great deal
of ceremony. There was music and re-
joiclng, while the one authorized to
light 1t was obliged to have clean
hands. 1t was always lighted with q
brand left over from the log Of the pre-
vious year, which had been carefully
preserved for that purpose. A poet
sings Of II m THIS wsys

THE TAX CASE DECISION


The decision handed down by
the Supreme Court last Saturday
in the matter of the Copper Queen
tax case, the full text OF which ls
published elsewhere in this issue,
will no doubt make some OF our
"tax dodgers" sit up and do some
thinking.
AS the matter now stands, the
Cochise County Board of Super.
vjsors were without authority to
compromise the Copper Queen tax
case of 1901, and it is now up TO
Treasurer ]. N. Gaines, of Cochlse
County, to bring suit for the entire
tax.
According to the pleadings, the
property of the Copper Queen was
assessed in 1901 by the county as
SCISSOR. and the county board OF
equalization increased the assess
ment, so that the total valuation
was s3,S33,034.76. The territorial
tax rate for 1901 was SLIT and the
tax rate of Cocbise County for that
year was s2.03. With these rates
the increased valuation of the taxes
of the company amounted to sl22,-
657.09. OF this amount the com.
pany paid s23, ,265.76, the balance
s99,39l.S3, becoming delinquent,
and was so entered upon the back
tax book.
As the matter now stands suit
will be brought against the Cop
per Queen Company for the delin-
Quent taxes, which being subject
to interest at the rate l per cent.
per month and penalties added,
amounting in the aggregate close
to sl25,O00.
The lesson taught oy this deci-
sion of the Supreme Court of the
Territory should be far reaching,
and those mining companies, as
well as individuals, who have
sought various methods to get out
of paying their just taxes, should
take warning and pay the county
and territory their just dues.

BRYAN A GOOD Time
Democratic Candidate Makes
Sally Across Ohio River.

Louisville, KY, Oct. 21.-Passing in
review before thousands of people
along the line of march, followed by
a parade of many hundreds of march
ers and speaking to more people than
the sound of his voice could reach,
William Jennings Bryan made brief
sally south of the Ohio river. The
rally in Louisville was for Mr. Bryan
the elimination Of one of the busiest
days of the campaign, and the out
pouring equalIed and possibly sur
passed anything in the way of dem
onstration the candidate has met
with since he was notified of his nom
ination. From the time he left New
Albany, Ind, just across the Ohio
river, until he spoke his final word Of
farewell, Mr. Bryan was the recipient
of a continuous ovation Arriving in
Louisville with the reception commit
tee on special trolley cars, Mr. Bryan
passed through an unbroken lane Of
people from the rivers edge until he
reached Phoenix Hill park, at the op-
posite end of the city, seven miles
away.
Arriving at Phoenix Hill park, Mr.,
Bryan was cheered for Is minutes,
and 1t was only with difficulty that
the crowd could be induced to check
the enthusiasm long enough to allow
him to speak. He found it necessary
to deliver three addresses, one to an
audience that packed Phoenix hall,
another to an even larger crowd in
the park outside, and a third to the
paraders massed In an open space
near the park. In beginning each Of
his three speeches Mr.. Bryan devoted
considerable attention to the welcome
given him. He declared amid frantic
yells that the turnout had been Of
such a size as to leave the Democrats
no option but to make MY Old Ken
lucky Home" the national anthem
when they assumed charge Of the ad-
ministration.
Mr.. Bryan's main address empha-
sized two points. He repeated his
charge that the Republicans were ex-
pecting to buy the election, II pur-
chase was possible, and declared
that a high tariff was a breeder Of

GOOD ROADS.

The recent action of the Fiscal
Court in increasing the county's
share OF the road building appropri-
alton from $1,000 to $3.50 per mile
is a wise move. There is nothing
that makes for a county's prosper
ity like good roads. The farming
community of the United States is
Just beginning to realize their eco
nomic salue.
1t took years of agitation and
many organizations through the va
rious States to bring home to our
people tie value cf fine road. Our
neighbor county Of Fayette has fully
awakened 10 their value. They have
now a series of pixies that are equal
" but by few counties in the entire
country.
The farmer for years was satisfied
to bring his prodact to the county
seat over vilianeous dirt roads,
clouded with dust in summer and
filed with mud ami mire in the win
ter.
We haze fair roads covering near
ly the cet;re county. 1t should be
the business of the Fiscal Court to
encourage In every way the few sec
lions tha, are not yet fully provided
for and it seems to us that the re-
cent move of the court is a step in
the righ.. direction.

TAFT SPENDS DAY
IN WEST VIRGINIA
People Flock to Towns to Hear
Republican Candidate.

Parkersburg, w. Va, Oct. 21.-Taft
day in West Virginia has been the
Republican political event of the pres
ent campaign In this state. Judge Taft
traversed it's entire length, from Mar
tinsburg to Parkersburg, and wher-
ever he stopped he was the feature Of
a demonstration, In each instance
carefully planned, and which brought
together many voters. Special trains
were run to many Of the towns in
which the. candidate spoke, thus max
ing his presence available to resi-
dents from many parts of the state
not visited
Western Maryland also had its
share of the candidate, who stopped
in a number of the smaller towns
along the Baltimore & Ohio railroad,
and was given rousing welcome In
Cumberland, where he addressed an
audience which packed the largest
meeting place In the city. The Cum
berland speech was the most extend
ed effort of Judge Taft during the
day. He discussed practically all of
the issues Of the campaign and was
given marked attention and demon
strative approval.
The Parkersburg meeting, however.
furnished all of the spectacular fea-
lures belonging to a political rally.
There was a parade, with many
marching clubs IN line, representing
political organizations from a number
of nearby towns, including those on
the Ohio side Of the river
