Dispatches from Fairview indicate Sat the position of chairman of the democratic national committee may go to ex-Governor W. D. Douglas of Massachusetts. In that case we would expect to see a novel campaign. When
 Mir. Douglas was a candidate for gov ernor of Massachusetts he depended on the colTmns of the press to reach
 the people with the reasoi,s for dem ocratic success. He hired pages in the republican papers of the state and filled them with his campaign litera- ture. Mr. Douglas is a business man
 who believes that advertising pays whether the object be to sell shoes or to gain votes in political campaign.

ARIzoNA's CATTLE INDUSTRY

The industry of Arizona which has been most benefited by the recent rains throughout the territory is the cattle industry which is very great item in the prosperity of Arizona While there are not so many cattle in the territory as there were fifteen years ago the grade of cattle has been Improved until there is no better eat tie to be found on the ranges of any western state than those of Arizona. The favorite breed is the Hereford, because of ability to travel tong dis tances to water much better than other breeds which may be preferable for pasture growth.
 Cochise county ranks as one of the foremost in Arizona, ,as regards the i'm portance of the cattle industry. Cattle gre found in every part of the county; in the San simon valley. in the Sul- phur Springs valley and in the San Pedro valley and in the hills border ing these valleys. Cochise cattlemen have been foremost in putting the best breed of cattle on the Rnges and as a result they enjoy the very best prices offered in the market for their product.
 Graham county is another import. ant cattle county where the Hereford is also the favorite. In the Black and Blue river country in the northern portion of Graham is to be found perhaps the best cattle country in the territory. The ranges. are on high table lands and in the mountains. In that section it is very rare that water is scarce and the year around beef may be gathered for the market.
 Gila Pinal and Pima counties are all prominent for their cattle industry and in Maricopa county there are many large herds of excellent cattle In Maricopa county many thousand head of range catle are fattened every yer on the alfalfa pastures of the Salt river valley. many going there from the rnges of southern Arizona.
 The cattle interests of the territory bring great deal of money into our business channels every year and mer- chants regard the cattle industry as the source of their best trade. As a rule the eatleman pays cash Ger what he requires for his ranch and equip ments. If he is short on cash he usual ly goes to the bank where he deposits his money received during the ship ping season.

BRYAN SUBSCRIPTION FUND {
WHAT ABOUT PROSPERITY?

The republicans this year are sing ing very low the tune of prosperity which has been shouted through the political megaphones during the last decade. In the campaigns during that time they have boldly laid claim to credit for the rains and rich soil which brought forth the bountiful crops, to credit for the rich ore which supplied employment to the thousands of miners, to credit for the grass which grew and fattened the stock on the ranges of the west. to credit for the fish which filled the fisherman's net and credit for every other thing and circumstance which contributed to the prosperity of our people which came in spite Of the burdens put upon them by the governmental policies which have allowed the rich to grow richer under the protecting hand of the re publican party.
 The grandiloquent assurance with which they proclaimed their superior prowess in statecraft and highes capacity for successful government was confounding in its very audacity- Panics. bond Issues. financial disturb ances. industrial eepressiOns. were evils impossible, they shouted. under a republican administration.

HEARST IS AGAINST BRYAN,


 There is no cause for aIarm be cause of the opposition of William Randolph Hearst to the democratic na tional ticket The American people can be trusted to discover whn a man is sincere in what he does and they can be trusted to spot demagogue who plays the role as boldly as Hearst and the people of this country may be depended upon to refuse to follow a demagogue when they become con vinced of his true character.
 Hearst through the columns of his newspapers has professed to be the close friend of the laboring classes of this country; be has showered eulo gies upon them and pictured the great wrongs which have been heaped upon labor in this country by laws specially made by the republicans in the inter. est of the employer. In the past he has courted the laboring man and championed his cause as a democrat but at this time when the labor org. anizations of the country have ex pressed satisfaction and qualification at the stand taken by the democrats and the democratic candidate for pres ident, Hearst falls away and refuses to sanction or approve the step taken by the democratic party.
 Hearst, when he was fawning upon the working man, as democrat, was fawning and smirking that the name of Hearst should grow famous and that the coffers of the Hearst news papers might be filled; failing four years ago to receive a respectable vote for president Hearst began to sulk in his tent and has ayailed every oppor- unity to cause the defeat of the dem ocratic party in the states where he had any influence Now. he has taken mp new party through which he will make noise with the Hearst mega phone without regard to the interests of the working classes or anyone else except Hearst.
 The political star of Hearst has sunk below the horizon and nothing now remains for him but to throw his venom in as many directions as possible. seeking vengeance upon all who would not give countenance to his effort to debauch the American voter four years ago with his money. The only regret or sorrow because of the action of Hearst is the fact that Mr. Bryan has seen fit to speak a good word for such political bush whacker. --

.FAVORS NEW TELEPHONE LINE
Subscriber Takes Issue With True
Northerner on Advisability of
New System.

Berlamont, Mich, Nov. 80, '0S
Editor Northerner,
Paw Paw, Mich.
Dear Sir:
After reading your editorial in last
weeks paper regarding the proposed
new telephone company, | wish to make
few statements regarding the same
and hope you will give them space in
your paper, as / believe it only fair for
you to do so, and that it is for the best
interest of Paw Paw and vicinity
Your conclusi ons are natural ones to
be drawn by one somewhat familiar
with the Kibbie phone, but not in
formed about the new company. and
would be very glad for you and all 9TH
ers interested, to come to the council
rooms next Saturday at o'clock p. M.
and learn more of the plan of manage
Deut of the new company.
We claim that the value of a telephone
depends to quite an extent upon the
number OF subscribers on the line in
your immediate vicinity, and have
proven by actual experience that our
system will get many more subscribers
than the system you now have. We also
claim that it costs no more to keep
mile of wire 10 repair that has four
phones connected with it than one that
has only one. and the cost is divided be-
tween four patrons In one case instead
of being borne by one in the other.
We know but little of the dividends
of other companies, and care still less,
but we have proven by actual test that
our plan of operation enables pairon
to get better service at actual cost than
has been given by any company operated
for profit There are other reasons Why
this can be done and if you come to our
next meeting they will be explained to
you. &. n. PEPPER.

VIM. HOLT LOST LIFE IN NINE
Overcome By Gas, Fell to Bottom
of 700 Foot Shaft. Funeral
Here Tuesday.

We frequently read of some terrible
mine disaster in which many lives are
lost, but not until one OF our own rela-
tlves or friend is numbered among the
unfortunate victims do we fully compre-
bend the meaning of such a catastrophe.
The people Of Paw Paw were Mortified
last Saturday night to receive the sad
news that William Holt had lost his
life in a salt mine IN Detroit He with
five companions was working on an
elevator lift 300 feet below the surface
of the earth. The engineer 10 charge Of
the hoisting engine heard frantic jangles
from the signal bell and hoisted the lift,
but it was empty. 1t is supposed that
the men were overcome by the poisonous
gases from below, and that one by one
they dropped from the elevator and fell
to the bottom of the shaft, which was
nearly 700 feet deep. Williams dead
body, together with those OF two of his
companions, was recovered soon after,
but the other three could not be located
until Tuesday.
On receipt of the news, Henry Holt,
father of the unfortunate boy, left for
Detroit and returned with the remains
Sunday night.
The funeral was held from his fathers
home Tuesday, the services being in
charge of Rev. McBain Milne. The
bearers were boyhood friends aud school
mates. Had he lived until Sunday,
November 30, be would have attained
his 22nd year. The house was taxed to
its utmost capacity to contain the SYM
pathetic concourse
Will was an energetic, industrious boy,
well liked by all who knew hin. He
had worked in the mines since last July
and earned big wages. A pathetic feat
ure of his death is the fact that he was
to have been married on Christmas day
to Miss Elva Rasmussen of Oakdale.
Those Who attended the funeral from
away were brother, Chas Holt Of
Detroit, bis betrothed, Miss Rasmussen
of Oakdale, Chas. Pepper an mother of
Union City and John Pepper of Gales
/ burg.
Burial was at Prospect cemetery.
The sincere sympathies of the entire
community are extended to the bereaved
! family in their hour Of sorrow.
