From the talk heard around
Iron River it is well to be seen
that the movement to "do up"
the saloon men of the city is not
meeting with the approval of the
people at large. All but few
who live here seem to think that
it is a very peaceable community
to live in, and these few seem to
be stirring up all the trouble of
late. 1t might be we'll to form a
little colony (Which would not
have a population of over dozen
or so) for the trouble makers SO
that the rest Of the community
could have peace. This con-
tinual Earring has bad after
effect and has a tendency to
knock business.

$500 Potato Case

A. r. Mead, appellant VS.
William Simpson, respondent
While this may seem Of little
Importance to most people,
still some important quest
ions of law we're decided by
the Supreme court during a
session held Tuesday. The
court reverses the decision
of the lower court, which
means that the order of the
Circuit court sending the case
back to the Municipal court,
is reversed, and the case
will now be tried on it's mer-
it's in the Circuit court. This
originated in the selling Of
six bushels of potatoes to
Simpson by Mead. Simpson
was working for the Iron
River Hardware company at
the time and Mead was sent
to the company for his pay
for the potatoes. He was in
formed by Mr.. Helmer, COM
pany manager, that he would
be given credit on his &C
count at the store for the
price of the potatoes and the
amount would be charged to
Simpson. Mead objected to
this and when money was re
fused him started suit to re-
cover. The decision of the
Supreme court is a victory for
Simpson. Attorney Norris
conducted the case for Simp-
son and the Hard ware COM
pany, and thus after a years
litigation the first chapter of
the So case is ended. The
second chapter will soon be-
gin.

Do Business Girls Marry?

There is no doubt that the business man appreciates the advantages of the business girl as a wife. Having earned money, she understands the value and does not squandcr it.
 The only thing he fears is that she may have. grown too independent; and though the clinging vine type is no longer popular, no man cares for the girl who is too independent.
 The business girl can be frank com rade with out expecting man to pro pose to her.
 But the question is: "'Do men marry the girls they look upon as comradesi"
 The business girl is apt to be a trifle critical, for she meets men of all sorts and conditions and learns to know their weaknesses pretty well. She learns that men have one manner for the girl they meet in the drawing-room and another for the girl they meet in the office.
 She does not expect to be treated as though she were meeting a man sO eially, but she does expect to be treated with the difference due any woman.
 All this may make her bit skeptical and hard to suit, and naturally has its affect on men s attitude toward her.
 As matter of fact, however, most

NEWS OF THE FOREST
Nine Thousand Fish Planted in the
 Streams of Graham County

Through the efforts of Supervisor Swift four streams have been planted with rainbow and brook trout, Former supervisors have endeavored to get fish for this purpose but none were ever sent unti now, says the Stafford Guar dian.
 On Monday last MT. Brown arrived in Stafford with 5000 rainbow and brook trout from the government fishery at Leadville, Colo, and turned them over to tho forest supervisor. Two cans were turned over to Sheriff Marshal and Joseph Foster of Pima, and they planted them in the north forg of Cot tonwood creek and the creek in the Weech canyon. The balance were taken by Supervisor Swift and Ranger Birdno and planted in the creek in the Frye canyon and in Grant creek.
 Should the creek in which the fish have been planted continue to contain the water they have for the past six
Daily Arizona silver belt., 1908-11-29

years there is no reason why these fish should not thrive and multiply rapidly. Of course, these streams are not large enough so that everybody can catch all the fish they want to, but under proper restrictions, within two years we will have trout fishing right here at home.
 This step on the part of the forest reserve people is one that will be ap. preciated by our people.

business girls marry, and marry well. They have many opportunities of meet ing the same men day after day, and many chances of showing to advantage the qualities of patience, good temper and intelligence.
 Not long ago mother said to me, ''I don t want my girls to go into busi- ness. 1 want them to marry.''
 "Why not do bothP' I answered. But she semed to think that going into business hampered girls matrimonial chances.
 That is an antiquated idea, for the business girl can be quite as feminine as her stay-at- home sister.
 It is not the occupation that has any thing to do with a girl 8 popularity, but the inherent qualities of the girl her. self.

BUYING THE WIND.
Iceland "Wixards' Who Used to Sell
 to Expectations Mariners.

 Iceland "Wizards" Who Used to Sell to Superstitious Mariners. In the old days of sailing ships 1t was common thing for sea captain to buy the wind" for his voyage. though. strangely enough, the only peo- pie supposed to deal in 1t were the Icclanders. When constant success sion of baffiing winds or dead calms had consistently followed ship for more than one cruise, 1t was not at all unusual for the skipper of big wind- jammer to pay visit to Iceland for the sole purpose of purchasing wind enough to last him on his next voyage , or two.
 In every port in Iceland one CT more 'wind wizards" were to be found. who were ready to sell Il favorable wind for the next six months or year to any sea captain willing to invest in some thing he could not see. The sailor. hay ing found his way to the magican's house. first proceeded to spread out upon the floor the articles offered in payment for the wind-tallow candles. cloth. beads, knives, powder and lead. After good deal of haggling and many times adding to or taking away from the little pile of merchandise be- tween them Sle price was finally agreed upon. and the captain passed over his handkerchief to the Icelander.
 The wind merchant muttered certain words into it. tying knot in the hand kerchief at the end of each incanta- ton. This was done to keep the magic words from evaporating. When cer- tain number of knots had been tied. the handkerchief was returned to its owner with strict charge to keep it knotted and guard 1t with extraordi- nary care until he arrived at the de- sired port. and at each port knot was to be taken out.
 One old captain had been so bothered with head winds that he kept crying out to the Icelander to tie another knot in the handkerchief and another and l another, so as to be sure of plenty of the wished for zephyrs. until finally l there was no room for any more knots | and three knives and thirty candles had been added to the heap on the floor. But when the wind greedy cap tain was two days at sea terrific gale began to hurl the ship ahead Of 1t, ever increasing in fury. until she plunged along under bare poles, with her nose deep in the brine and tons of water washing her decks. Darker and darker grew the sky, and higher and higher rose the racing, foam crested waves. hammering the laboring vessel with ceaseless blows until her seams began to open under the strain and let in the sea.
 Then, believing he had the devil in his pocket. the badly frightened skip per drew forth the much knotted hand kerchief and threw 1t overheard. In a short time the tempest abated. the clouds cleared away. and the waters ! subsided. but one seaman never again bought wind. He was content with the kind that comes by chance.-New York | Times

French Oyster Gsthsrers.

The work of oyster collecting and culture is most unsuitable for women. but in France. owing to its tedious na- ture, it does not appeal to men. Often from an early hour in the morning till late into the evening the womcH are standing up to the knees in water. with strong sun beating down on them. The result is that never year passes without some of them going mad and having to be hurried away to the asylums. The work is well paid. as, indeed, it ought to be. while in the case of the few who own beds the profits are large. and small fortunes are quickly amassed.
