tions. battle for the people and
against the tobacco trust. In the
last three years, il alone, has had
entrusted to its care and management
1873, 900 hogsheads Of tobacco, more
than 200 million pounds. On their
sales, it has saved the tobacco rsisers
five cents on the pound, making the
grand total OF ten million dollars !
This immense sum west into the
pocket Of the man who sweated be-
tween the rows; it otherwise would
have gone into the Golfers Of the
great trust. But the decree has
gone forth that this great Associa-
tion must be destroyed likewise all
Others must follow in this great pre-
meditated Wholesale slaughter of far

1t may be that the Dark Tobacco

some respects; but what is there but

of tobacco and also gets the types and
trash
THE association claims to have
handled "a, 900 hogsheads of the 1905,
80. 900 hogsheads for the 1906 crop and
60, 600 hogsheads of the l9O7crop. Mr..
Warfield made his estimate on the 1906
crop, estimating that the per cent.
would amount TO about $50, 900 or more,
the receipts from the types" to about
sl4. 900, and from the trash about
$40. 600 making a grand total of about
sll5. 900 income from the 1906 crop and
something over so per cent more than
this for the 1907 crop when it is finally
disposed of. All of this evidence, in
GLIDING the character of the association
and other matters pertaining to its or
ganization. etc, was introduced in the
absence of the jury, the court holding
that it was irrelevent and incompetent
and the defense introducing it only in
in order to complete the record.
The above is but repetition of an
oft exploded fake. originated by the
designing and circulated to the ignor-
ant. 1t is well known to the members
Of the Association and to all others
who are sufficiently interested in it to
inform themselves that there cannot
be any such thing as annual income
to stockholders. They know h
the merely nominal capitalization of
5000 was only for the purpose of legal
izing the incorporation. That this stock
is held. not by self perpetuating class
of insiders. but by officers who are
elected by the directions, and by the
directors who in turn are elected by
the members growers. This stock
is non-divdend paying. that it is nom
transferable, except to their successors
in office. They know also that the
work Of organizing, of handling and
marketing $4,000, 900 to 100, 900, 900
pounds of tobacco is an enormous task
and involves a great expense. They
know that any fees charged are for
the purpose of defraying this expense,
and that any profits or benefits obtain
ed by such expenditure go to the peck
cts of the members the growers them
selves lin the form of increased prices
for their CROP and cannot be diverted
elsewhere.
In case there should be any one who
are disposed to give any credence to
the above so-called testimony of the
GAINESVILLE gentleman, we give space
to the stock certificate accompanying
each share of stock issued under the
charter of 1906, under which the Asso-
citation is operating.

PHOENIX MAN
 RESCUEs SIX
BRAvED SWIFT CURRENT IN RAG ING SALT RIVER FOUR TIMES AND WAS EXHAUSTED WHEN LAST MAN WAS SAVED.

PHOENIX, December 23.-Braving breakers that threatened every moment to fall into his small boat and drown him, Jih Shott crossed the north half of the Salt river at the foot of Sev- enth avenue eight times and rescued six men who had been caught on an island in the center of the river by the rising torrent.
 Fully fifty people looked on while Shott took his life in his hands and crossed the rapidly rising stream four time, to return after each crossing with one or two of the men who had been caught by the flood and were in danger of being washed away.
 Shott's skill in handling the boat was little short of remarkable. In the hands of less experienced oarsman his small craft might have been swamp ed on any of the trips and its load of human freight thrown into the water io battle for life in the waves and shifting sands.
 With nothing but paddle, Shott guided one of the biggest boats from East Lake park, which had been hauled to the river in a dray. At times it looked as if the boat would be struck by one of the uprooted trees or logs that were being carried down by the torrent, but he managed to steer clear of them.
 Though the river was but 400 yards wide, the stream was ten feet deep, and the waves were piling higher and high CT. From shortly before noon until clock, Shott continued his battle to save the lives of the six marooned men and when he made the last trip was So exhausted that he could not have made | another.
 Deputy Sheriff Adams assisted Shott in the work of resuee. With horse
 Adams pulled the boat half mile uI the stream from where Shott wanted to land on the island. As Shott s boat
 shot out into the stream, by skillfn
 strokes he fought his way through and | to the calmer water along the bank oi ! the island
 Taking about one of two of the men Shott started back, and each time land | ed half mile down the stream from ] the starting point. After each trip h' , showed the effect of the exertion tt
 such an extent that he required rest
 of from twenty to thirty minutes before
 venturing into the river again. In th'
 four trips made, Shott crossed the 400t
 yards of raging water eight times. The six men rescued, two of then | whites and four Mexieans, had beer | working on the island for the past foul
 weeks. They are employed by thu
 reclamation service and have, been dig | ging sand. At 4 clock in the morn
 ing there was but little water on .thii side of the river, but as it was rain
 ing the men decided to remain in theii
 tents. When they looked at the rive
 bed again the water was running eigh
 feet deep.

DEMOCRATS
Organize by Electing William
Walton President. H enry
Truelson Makes Good Address d.

About sixty of the.local democrats
met in the Commercial Club rooms Fri
day evening, October 2. and. perfected
the organization of a democratic club.
A canvass was made a few weeks ago
and so many signatures were secured
that it was decided to organize a club
for more effective work in the campaign
that is now warming up.
w. H. Walton was the unanimous
choice for president Of the club and, al
though making some excuse as to his
inability to handle the work, he was
compelled to accept the honor. O. r.
Meyers was elected as vice-president,
W. r. Everett, secretary; George Kill
mel, treasurer. BY vote of the club the
president appointed Ed. Hughes, r. c.
Hill and Fred Roquette as members Of
the finance. The president was also in
structed to appoint an executive com
mittee, to be named at a later date.
After the officers were elected and
committees appointed, some little time
was taken in mapping out a part of the
campaign work which is to be handled
by the committees. E. "A. Lillibridge
announced that Governor Burke would
come to Dickinson in the near future and
it was quite likely that the chief execu-
tive would also make speeches at Bel
field, Sentinel Butte, Gladstone, Taylor
and Richardton.
Col. Frank Lish, candidate fol-. state
senator, and Henry Truelson of Zenith.
candidate for representative from thu
31st legislative district, were present
and took an active part in the organiza.
ton of the club which will hold regular
meetings on Thursday evenings in tn.
Commercial Club roolns. Mr.. Truelso1
delivered an excellent address. touching
on the live issues of the national cam.
paign and cited facts that made. goot
food for thought for both democrats ant
republicans. In politics he is probably
one Of the best posted men in Starl
county and he always pleases his
hearers. a B. .s s; III, sas8
