IT HAS been remarked that the eastern end of the county does not poll a greater vote than the western end and for the benefit of those who do not know the ERA has secured fig ures that may not be exactly correct, although they will answer the qnes- tion. The vote of the eastern end of the county is estimated at 1922 and the western end at 1O69 or a ma ior- ity of 253 This should convince the people of the county that unless the county seat is conceded to this end of the county in the near future, Ora ham county will most assuredly be divided. Already many people are talking about the dissention that is bound to exist in a county in which there is interested both mining and farming. However, old Graham has been getting along pretty good in past years and should remain intact if possible. Instead of letting the Stafford people take the lead, why should not the citizens of the eastern end get together and circulate petition asking for an election to de- eide the question. It is rumored that this move is now on foot and the petitions will soon be in circulation. The vote will decide where the county seat should be- The majority will tell us where they want the county seat. This is a matter which the valley papers have been talking about for some time, but it always seems to be between Stafford and Solomonville, overlooking the fact that the eastern end may get in and take the plum. Now that the ques- tion has been started by the valley people, why not have the election called and settle it tor good.

 What might have been quite a serious accident happened in the Humboldt adit tunnel early Saturday morning. A Mexican was pushing a truck through the mine on which was a box of powder and when he saw a motor and a string of cars coming he left the powder on the track and made for safety. When the cars struck the powder it exploded. The conCuSsiou broke dishes and window panes in the hborhood but for tunatelv no one was hurt.

Dynamite Explosion in the Humboldt
 Mine.

Early last Saturday morning a terrific explosion took place at the Humboldt adit, resulting in the serious injury Ot several men and demolishing two ore cars, besides do- ing other damage to the mine. Motorman Terry had filled his ore cars at the Joy shaft bins and was backing into the adit when the eX- plosion took place. The trouble was caused by d Mexican leaving a car loaded with dynamite on the wrong track and when the motor train struck it the explosion took place.
 It iS d miracle that several men were not instantly killed. Window lights for a distance of several hun drrd feet from the mine were shat tered, the LongfellOw store suffering considerable damage.

Several con tests have already been settled and in each case the Taft delegates were be seated. Colonel Sturges, of Ari- zona, is also present in the interest of the Arizona contest. Arizona has been side tracked until the committee finishes, its work with the states. There is little doubt, however, as to which delegation will be seated. The Taft delegates will in all propability win out unless a compromise is ar ranged between the gentlemen who are interested in the Arizona. fight.

The Arizona Copper company has commenced construction work on its new stack, which will lead from the shelter to the top of the big moun- tain in the rear of the works. The stack will be constructed on the side of the mountain instead of through the tunnel and it is planned to create d great saving in hue dust, which in past years has settled in large quanti- ties on the hills around Clifton. This will be one of the greatest improve ments the A. c. company has made in several years and no doubt will be fol- lowed by other changes. During the past year or more the management of the Arizona Copper company has been most efficient, a wonderful re- cord having been made in the reduc- tion of costs and increase in output. Upon rise in the price of copper the A. c. company will make won derful showing. All that should be required is continuance of the good work and the future of the com pany will be crowned with success.

ORDER OUT OF CHAOS.
Secretary Taft Established Rea
Enforcement for Cuba.

0eCietdTy 1aII GstapllbQoo SoAA
elf-Government for Cuba.
Aside from the Philippines and the
canal the greatest call that has been
made upon Mr.. Taft since he became
Secretary of War came from Cuba.
This was case largely similar to the
Philippine problem. When our inter
vention had freed Cuba from the Span
ish yoke we deemed 1t sufficient insur
ance OF successful government Tor the
Cubans to require them to adopt a con-
stitution before we turned the island
over to them. We ignored the fact
that Cuba had no experience Of consti-
tJti0ns or understanding Of their func-
tons. So when Cuba had conformed to
our requirement we sailed away from
Havana and left her to work out her
own salvation unaided and untaught.
The result Of that folly was inevi-
table and not long delayed. The Gu
bans having adopted a constitution they
had not the slightest idea of what to
do with it. They proceeded to govern
under the only system of which they
had any knowledge. The proclamation
of the President took the place of the
cid royal decree. lie created by his
fiat the departments of government
which should have Deen established by
law of Congress under authority of the
constitution.
The experiment was aimed toward
chaos and its expectation was quickly
realized. In September, 1906, the Unit
ed States had to intervene again, and
the task fell on Mr.. Taft. With his
experience of the Filipino as a guide
and the magnetism of his personality
as a lever. Mr.. Taft placated the war
ring factions and secured peaceable in
Prevention. Then he devised and set
up provisional government which all
the Cubans accepted.
1t was the intention then to maintain
the government only long enough to
give the Cubans fair election at
which they might select their own gov
eminent by full and free expression Of
their own will. But almost immediate
y the provisional government discover
ed the fundamental mistake made by
the earlier American administration. 1t
found that the Cubans had been at
tempting to administer a government
which never had been organized and
existed only by virtue Of the Presi-
dents will. Patiently the provisional
government set to work, under the di-
rectfon of Mr.. Taft, to provide the Or
ganization under the fundamental law
which the Cubans had never known
was the essential of successful self
government. The work is now nearing
completion. and when next the Ameri-
cans quit Havana 1t will be after turn
ing over to the Cubans a government
machine properly established and fully
equipped, whose operation they have
been taught to understand and control.
Thus, to two peoples has Mr.. Taft been
called upon to give instruction in prac-
tical self-government.

Mrs. Taft Thinks Nothing Il Too
Good for Man Whose Name She
Bears.
To Mrs Taft this presidential situa-
ton Is almost the only thing in life
that does matter. and she makes no
attempt to act as il it didn't.
In visit to Hot Springs, Va, which
was made for the purpose Of finding
out something about the daily life and
thought Of Mrs. Taft during her sum
mer there, thus much was easily dis
coverable. She desires the presidency
for her husband. and she furthermore
is trying to help him get it. Her place,
rather than in any of the above Indi-
Gated circles, Is among the rooters, on
the band wagon high up, or in the van
Of the campaign advance agents.
She thinks that only the best life has
to offer is great and good enough for
her husband, and II the concentrated
power of the nation, aided by her own
personal efforts. can get it for him, 1t
is to be his. And this attitude repre-
sents the Mrs. Taft Of to-day. Per
haps she has other distinguishing
marks and characteristics, but they
have now faded into the unimportant.
She is never SO weary as to be indif
ferent, never SO depressed by the attic
tons of the flesh as to be inactive in
her campaign duties. self-imposed, and
never so beset by things in all Of their
perverseness as to be impatient with
the situation.
Indeed, she is the one who started
this presidential agitation in the Taft
family, and she means, whoever else
lays down on his job" to see it prop
erly through. All during the long
hours Of her summer at the springs her
mind forever is alert with the problems
Of the campaign and their possible solu

NO PLACE LIKE AMERICA.
Swedes Who Left at Fatherland'a
Call Coming Back to Adopted

Land.
Since last October, when the period
of Industrial depression began In tho
United States, more foreigners have re-
turned to Europe each month than have
come to the United States, with the ex-
ception Of the month of August, but
peculiar significance attaches to the
passenger list Of the Lusitana, which
arrived in New York last week. The
big steamer had on board 100 Swedish
immigrants, $50 OF whom had returned
to Sweden last fall.
The returning sons of Sweden left
the United States last fall when times
were bad in this country. They had
listened to the representations of tho
Swedish government officials, picturing
improved conditions across the ocean
and telling Of the desire Of the Swedish
people to have their native sons come
home and help in the upbuildIng of the
nation. This appeal to patriotism.
coupled with the desire to see home
once more, was potent factor in caus-
ing the exodus Of Swedes. Now they
are returning to America with stories
Of disappointment.
When the Swedish American citizens
returned to Sweden they found wages
higher than they had been in that coun-
try for years. but they also found that
the cost of living had grown, leaving
the margin of possible saving no larger
than in the old days Above all, they
discovered that, owing to century-old
prejudIces and customs the working
man could not live In Sweden in the
American way" the equal Of his fell
low citizens and the enjoyer Of freedom
in thought and action. So the Swedish
Americans are coming back ready to
make America their homes for the rest
of their lives.

if the governor cast Georgia's vote

Georgia's governor would naturally
turn the scale, and forever after

$3.50. 600 TO KEEP TAB ON ROADS
Commission Says 1t Will Need 2S6
Men Especially Trained.

A Washington dispatch says 1t will
cost the United States government
$75O,000 a year for the supervision
of railroad accounts under the pres
ent interstate commerce act, accord
ing to a communication from the
interstate commerce commission
transmitted to the house by Secre-
tary COrtelyou.
The document contains letter
from Commissioner Harlan in which
he states that it will require board
of examiners composed of 286 men
especially trained in the methods of
railway accounting to supervise the
accounts and practices of the steam
railroads. This estimate does not
cover such examiners as may be re-
CURED later to supervise the account
ing methods of express companies,
water lines and pipe lines.
Commissioner Harlan says: The
proper training of such men will re-
quire some time. 1t is not probable
therefore that the board can be thor
oughly equipped and fully organized
with the required 2S6 men before
January 1 or February 1, 1909. 1t
is probable therefore that an appro-
priation of 100000 for the next ifs
cal year will satisfy our require
ments."

to almost every parched throat that
applied, Notwithstanding that he had
no license and would not be granted
one. When he was convicted for the
third time and sent to jail the sheriff
feared to squeeze him through cell
door in the belief that ne would rap
idly take on more flesh and it would
be necessary to tear down side wall
to get him out The belief was well
founded. for Dan got so fat that he
was a nuisance in the jail hospital.

"NORTH POLE SHIFTING"
Says Englishman Who Went to Alas
ka to Find Out.

A Victoria, B. c., dispatch to the
New York Tribune says: That the
North Pole is shifting and the climate
is changing, making the northern
territories of this continent warmer
and northern Asia colder, is the the
DRY to support which Moses B. Col
worth of York, Eng, has been gath
ering evidence in Alaska, from
whence he has returned on his
way to England. A curious effect
of this change, it is said, may be a
number of boundary difficulties be-
tween Canada and the United States,
especially in the eastern portion. The
boundary is fixed by latitude, and if
the North pole is really moving the
ATTITUDES change also, rendering it
advisable that the boundary be speed
lily marked everywhere by permanent
monuments where it has not been
so marked already
This movement, COlwOrth says, is
caused by the immense accumulations
of ice along the Canadian shore OF
the Arctic ocean, and especially in
Bafins Land and Greenland. The
incalculable weight of the mass is, he
asserts, by the force of gravity, slow
ly pushing the crust of the earth, and
consequently the North Pole and the
Arctic Circle generally over toward
Siberia, where there are no immense
accumulations of glacial ice to count
eract the movement.
The result is that North America
and Europe are becoming warmer
and Siberia and Asia generally cold
