The annual meeting of the
County Board of Supervisors
met Tuesday for the purpose
of transacting the business of
the county that has been an
cumulating during the past
year and fixing the equaliza-
tion Of the county property
and making levies for the
business of the coming year.
The matter of equalization
was the mooted question and
many frey speeches and de-
bates were indulged in before
the final action was taken fix
ing the equalization of the
county property upon which
to base the state and county
taxes. The equalization com
mittee was in session on Mon
day and most of Monday
night but no decision was ar
rived at, on Tuesday morning
a majority of the committee
decided on a report, which
did not met the approval OF
Supervisor Mertz of this city.
Mr.. Mertz prepared a minor
ity report which was in effect

the report of the Supervisor
of Assessment. except that
the. town of Bayfield, was

was finally adopted. The
figures of the supervisor of

There is more Catarrh in this sec
tion of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For great many years
doctors pronounced it a local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with 10
cal treatment. pronounced incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease therefore, re-
quires Institutional treatment.
Hall S Catarrh Cure, manufactured
by F. J. Cheney and Co., Toledo,
Ohio, is the only constitutional cure
on the market, 1t is taken internal

Stearns Company Considering Far
chase Of Thompson Property.
In Case They do the Mill
Will be Rebuilt for a Heavy
Cut of Timber.

L. K. Baker of the Stearns
Lumber company was in the
city Monday with a number of
millwrights going over the
Thompson mill in this city with
a view to ascertaining just what
repairs will have to be made in
order to put the mill in first
class running order. The
Stearns Lumber company have
been negotiating with the Marsh
Halfway people of Chicago for
the purchase of the property for
some time and the deal is now
about to be made. During the
months of August, September
and October the forest fires
ragged on the Odanah Indian re-
servation and a large amount of
standing timber was damaged
and this will have to be cut dur
ing the winter months and saw
ed into lumber next season in
order to save as much loss as
possible. The amount of tim Der
to be cut by the Stearns people
will run up to about 100000, 900
feet. The mills which the
Stearns people operate and
which they do contract saving
with are now stocked TO their
fullest capacity and the company
will have TO have another mill in
order to get the timber cut.
Consequently they are now fgur-
ON the purchase of the Thomp-
son property.
il they buy the mill they will
have to put repairs on it to the
extent of about twenty thousand
dollars and with this will be
able to cut about fifty million
feet during the season. 1t is
said that the deal is about to be
closed. The report comes as
good news to the citizens and
business men of Washburn for
it means employment to large
NUMBER of men for the season
at least and probably, for long
er time. These additional men
employed about the city will
make Washburn one of the busl-
est little places in the state and
will give it the hustle and hustle
of former days with every body
doing we'll, from a financial
standpoint. During the winter
months large crew of men will
have to be kept about the mill in
order to get the repairs done in
time for the starting of the saw
ing season some time during the
month of May.
The Stearns people will surely
be accorded a hearty welcome if
they decide to operate the mill in
the city.

Mary Scott has Quit.

The steamer Mary Scott
ceased her seasons run the lat
ter part of last week and now
those desiring to take a trip over
Ashland are obliged to ride on
the train. The Scott's business
has not been as brisk the past
season as it was in former years
and consequently it stopped run
ming little sooner than usual,
The lack of business was due
largely to the mills On the bay
not operating.

the rest of the banks in the
county and to ask for bids
from all.
A large amount of routine
business was transacted and
all bills were paid. Reports
on all bills had been prepared
by committees before the

lost in the discussion of de-
tails.

Yaqui Delta tomatoes.

Mr.. Elmer Anderson, of Bacum,
r. Y, Sonora and Sinaloa, agent
for the firm of Minaker & Will
banks Inc, San Francisco, Califor-
Mo, passed through Nogales Thurs
day en- route 10 San Francisco.
Mr.. Anderson is the heaviest
producer of tomatoes on the Yaqui
river for the above firm, who have
contracted for four hundred acres
of tomatoes for winter shipments
On a conservative estimate that
means a hundred car crop, which
will all be shipped from Bacum
station.
Mr.. Anderson, representing the
land owners surrounding the BAG
UNI district, has pending with the
management of the G. r. Y. & P.
r. r. a proposition to build a four
kilometer spur from Bacum
station to the Rio Yaqui. The
Bacum people now stand ready
to furnish the right of way and
build the road bed for the spur,
which will greatly enhance the
value of their property and better
facilities for shipping.

growers, ne has the experience
necessary for new industry in a
new and semi-tropic country.

Base Ball at HermosiIlo.

Last Sunday the Hermosillo nine
defeated the Guaymas team by a
score of 3 to 0 on the Capital
grounds.
A great excursion went up from
Guaymas with the team and a
great crowd attended the game.
The contest was even through
out, Scott of Guaymas again dem
onstrating his abilities as a pitcher,
striking out Is men against six of
Gilroy, and this under great dis
advantage as the men would have
to swing before strikes would be
called and many strikes cut the
plate in two, but were called balls
against Scott, while anything from
the shoulder down would be given
to Gilroy as a strike; nevertheless
Scott again outpitched Gilroy, very
much to this young mans discom-
fort. The double umpire system
should be enforced to insure good
game.
Gilroy had great support, the
feature of the game being the mar
velous fielding of centerfelder Ber-
nal of Hermosillo who was taking
everything that came his way and
to him alone is due the honor of
having shut out the Guaymas
aggregation. In the fourth inning
he pulled down a fly of Ford's
which seemed impossible to catch.
The score by innings was as fol.

Che poor old party IA that there ia
40 wide q difference IN feeling be.
tween the democrats Of the Eas!
and those Of the West. Western
Democracy distrusts and condemns
the Eastern Democracy. That was
shown in the tremendous MAORI
ties by which Parker was thrown
down in the West in 1904. East
ern Democracy distrusts Western
Democracy as wild and woody.
Look at the vote of New York city
last week against Bryan. 1t would
have been the same way had John
son of Minnesota or any other
Western democrat been the nomi-
nee. The safe and sane Democracy
prefer a safe and sane republican
to wild and woolly democrat.
And the wild and woolly Democ-
racy prefer a safe and sane repub-
licau to a safe and sane democrat.
And there you have a combination
that works for republican success,
which is apt to remain in existence
through several presidential cleo
tons.
And there is another great factor
that is apt to arise against the
Democratic party; the detection of
the Solid South. Missouri and
Kentucky have become debatable
ground. Maryland is also. 1t has
been only gradually vanishing
sentiment that has bound the Solid
South SO long to the chariot wheel
of Democracy, and there dragged
it in the mire. The people Of the
South are progressive, energetic
and capable. Their interests and
advantages lie all with the party
which does things; not with the
party that is an organized protest
against activity. They begin to
realize that fact. BY the ghost of
the Southern Confederacy Of glori-
Gus memory they have been held
in leading strings by the Democ-
racy since the war, just as the en-
tire American people were held in
leading strings SO long by the
ghost of the throne and scepter.
The people Of the South are awak-
ening to the futility of living upon
the dream of forgotten glory, the
sentiment for lost cause, and are
preparing to be practical in politics
as they are in business. When
they do SO the Democratic party
will disappear from the face of the
Earth.

reason the scab has practically dis
