CAREY ACT BETTER.

Mountain Home appears to be
getting into trouble by the COM
pany controlling the increased
water supply being accused OF
selling more water rights than
it has water to cover. The
country has a large amount OF
irrigable lands and parties have
taken them up and purchased
water rights in connection and
now the old water users are
making a protest and the courts
are being called upon to settle
the matter and a newspaper is
being "jacked up for taking
the part of the protesting par
ties. 1t seems to be an example
of trouble ensuing from not
having the lands withdrawn by
the state under the Carey act
and contracts made with the
company which would protect
settlers by not having water
rights overaold. Silver City

BOSTON AFTER STONE.
President Taylor Said to Have Offered
Five Men for Outf;eIder

Boston, Jan. 3.-President Taylor of
the Boston American League team is
anxious to secure Outfielder George
Stone, of st. Louis. and, according to
headquarter whisperings, ST. Louis has
been offered five men for the hard hit
ting outer gardener.
Ever since Manager James Collins
allowed Stone to go to st. Louis with
out a try-out, and thereby let one of
the greatest major league finds in
two seasons get away, regret has pre-
vailed among Pilgrim supporters.
1t is understood that the Boston club
is willing to waive upon Grimshaw,
Connalton, kroh, Jacobson and Shaw,
but Hugh McBreen, who is in charge
at the American league headquarters
until President Taylor returns from
California, will not admit that these
five men have been or are to be offered
McAleer for George Stone.

FTIzsIMMoNs' LATEST TALK.
Old Fighter Still Imagines He Is In
the Game


Newark, N J., Jan. 3.-Although it
has been the prevailing opinion among
fight fans that Bob Fitzsimmons has
fought his last ring battle and that he
is a retired pugihst, little talk with
the veteran on the fighting situation
will quickly dispel this common belief.
Pm still in the game" said Fitz, land
ready to fight any of these fellows who
are running around calling themselves
champions. I am still the middle
weight champion and stand ready to
defend that title. 1 see that Tommy
Ryan has come out of his hole again
and is crying for a fight. If he Is in
earnest 1 am ready to put up $1,000 to
bind a fight between u.s.
In Fits mind, Tommy Burns. who
whipped Gunner Noir, the reputed Eng
lish champion, is not topnotcher. ITO

from the Cream City talk of another
match was started. 1t was apparent to
all who witnesses the mill Monday night
that the local Italian was not eft" to
make his best stand against the young
er and more powerfully constructed lad
from the mining district
As early as the third round Kelly was
heard to eXclaim in his corner: II can't
mold this pace; my steam is gone" And
the old-timers who had followed the
contest with critical eyes echoed the
expression of the veteran. 1t was a
case of an old and schooled athlete go
ing into the lists against a young and
coming slugger who has been making
hay while the sun shone, and who was
ut to battle for crown at 154 pounds.
After the fight Ferretti and Kelly at
tributed the slump of the closing rounds
to the Italians overdone training.
Bright and early yesterday Hugo in
structed Ferretti to go after another
match with Papke. Jones readily agreed
to pit the Kewanee blonde against KEEL
ly in a second tilt at any weight de-
sired by the Chicagoans for side bet
of $4,000. Ferretti will hang out for 15S
pounds ringside, at which notch it is
thought Kelly can do himself justice.

coming from a few Papke followers who
thought their man, on the strength Of
his rushing tactics, was entitled to the
verdict. Hogan explained his stand in
declaring the bout a draw by saying
that Kelly scored heavily in the first
three rounds.
Two knOckdowns were chalked up
against Papke in the opening sessions,
while the fourth, fifth, sixth and sew
enth sessions were about even. Papke
clearly outfought the Italian in the last
three rounds, gazing strong advantage
in the ninth when Kelly escaped an al
most certain knockout by the timely
ringing of the bell.

Buffalo Bills Wild West Show
will Exhibit at WilliamSpOrt
Tuesday, June Is.

The event of the Out-ofdOor a.
musement season in this vicinity
will be the appearance of Buffalo
Bill's Wild West and and Congress of
Rough Riders of the World as re-
ferred to above. The exhibition has
been away from America for four
years, during which time it appeared
in eighteen different European coun-
tries and held up pictures of Ameri-
can history!beftre the gaze of delight
ed thousands, who then for the first
time gained their first intimate idea
of early life in far west. Buffalo Bill
travels with the exhibition, person
ally directs the performances and
participates in some of the big Indian
battles, enacting in one instance the
role originately created, in 1869, at
the battle Of Summit Springs. In
this scene one hundred Indians par
ticipate. and the real red-men of the
plains also appear in a Holiday at
TIE Ranch and An Attack on an
Emigrant train. These big scenes
of Indian depredations are the princi-
pal historic features of the show, but
tho Rough Riders comprise another
part of the entertainment equally
instructive. There will be riders
from all nations, Cossacks, Arabians,
South Americans, Japanese, Ger
mans, English and our own Ameri-
can cowboy, best type of dauntless
horsemen. Bucking ponies, trained
horses and any number of acrobatic
displays and feats of of horseman-
ship. And at every performance,
ram or shine, the original and only
Buffalo Bill will be in the saddle,
leading his care-conquering hosts.

Thoughtless Americans, riding in
noiseless hOrseleSs carriages and eat
ing germless meals from tireless cook
ers, may hav new joy this summer
in drinking heatless beverages at ice
less soda fountains. Soulless cOrpOr-
ations, therefore, which have been
drawing $40, 900, 900 year from the
pockets of soda water dispensers for
providing ice to $4,000 fountains in
the United States face loss and are
worrying.
1t has taken two years of constant
work by themost efficient experts in
refrigeration in the country to pro-
duce the iceless soda fountain and
open way for monopoly to gain
control of the beverage that made
the acknowledgements soda girl fa-
nous. The scientific marvel which
cools soda water without ice is said
to be product of the concentered
energies of thirteen inventors.
Though demonstrated success, the
iceless fountain is commercial
mystery jealoasly guarded.
The rest OF the country-that is
those who have not visited New
York and seAp something of the
seany life in that city-are Of the o.

pyness in that city, or the counter

with money. The best part of
New York life is exhibited to the
country at large, but the poverty
pain and suffering which attend eX-
istence in large city are generally
hidden from the world ut large. The
slogan is "Little Old New York;,
and the outlander is made to believe
that there are only two streets in
Broadway and Fifth ave-
nue.,
OF course everybody knows that
there is crime in New York and that
it is not all confined to Wall street or
the Bowery. But it remained for
somebody to discover that there are
four hundred school children in New
York city who are starving to death
Now that the city has made this dis
covery efforts will be made to relieve
the distress of the poor foreign ele.
ment which crowds into the city,
lured there by the hope of improv-
ing its condition, only to find that
besides being city in which wealth
abounds 1t is a city in which poverty
prevails.

A Liberal Reward for Planting Trees

|
Below we give extracts covering
the important points of a law now in
effect i'm this State, providing re-
ward for planting trees along the
highway by persons who are obliged
to pay road taxes.
Sec. l. Any person liable to road
tax who shall transplant to side of
road on his own premises any fruit
shade or forest trees of suitable size
shall be allowed on road tax one
dollar for every two trees set out No
row of elms to be placed nearer apart
than seventy feet; and no row of ma
piles or other forest trees nearer than
fifty feet, except locust and Carolina,
which may be thirty feet, and except
fruit trees may be set forty feet, and
all must be,living and protected from
animals.
Sec. 2. Any tree growing natural
ly by side of highways through cult
waited land shall be allowed in same
manner.
Sec. 3. Trees planted on highway
in place of trees that have died shall
be allowed for as provided in first
section
Sec. 4. No person to be allowed more
than quarter of his annual road tax.
Sec. 5. Any person who cuts or
Injuries any live tree planted or grow
ing naturally as aforesaid, or suffers
an animal of his to injure such tree,
shall pay a penalty of from one doll
ar to five dollars, or he may plant
and maintain another tree in place
of the one cut or injured.
j. A. Patton of Chicago, under
took to make corner in May corn
and oats, and so far as sustaining the
price was concerned he succeeded.
1t is stated that 4, 4,7S0,000 bushels of
corn and S,S00O,000 bushels of oats
were delivered to him. The ave-
rage price he paid for all is hard to
determine, but May corn closed at
at or above so cents and oats in the
neighborhood of 60. At the same
time j. Ogdeu Armour was monopo-
liZing the wheat and ran the price up
to 81 ,12 and thereabOuts. The coun-
try was ransacked for cereals, and
and every pound Of wheat, corn and
oats that could be scraped up was
shOveled at these men like hail
storm.
When a man undertakes to corner
anything he must buy all that is Of
fered and at the highest market
price. The difficulty is not in buy,
ing, if one has the money to pay,
but in getting rid of it without loss.
That is what the Chicago men cali
"burying the corpse" and it is that
difficult proposition that confronts
Armour and Patton at present. EX-
clusively high price causes a great
falling off in the article and
as necessary as wheat, corn and oats
2re there is no doubt but that thous-
,nds of people will curtail the a
mount used, thus lessening the de-
mand.
Whether these men have made or
unmade fortunes is of little concern
to the public. The manipulation OF
tho market creates fictitious values,
upsets the calculations of small deal
ers and creates hardship for the poor
who find it hard to put bread in the
mouths of their children. The law
undertakes to correct other abuses
why not this one.
