Commodore Davidson got his title
by reason of being the chief owner

between st. Paul and St. Louis. The
Galena Packet Co. controlled most
of the river commerce between the
two points and had things their own
way when w. F. Davidson tied up a
small boat he had brought around
from the Ohio river at the St. Paul

new competitor for their patronage

do much.

Ed. GAZETTE: The sale of the
balance of the wcll-known David
son farm, recently noted in your pa
per, was the closing out of the iarg-
est individual holding of land in one
body in the history Of the county.
Commodore Davidson bought
about 10000 acres from the govern
ment in the summer of 1868 at 81 .25
an acre mot 1926 as reported in the
Morgan Messenger).
Davidson, Paxton and Willard
took up large blocks of the Sioux
reservation lands, opened to sale in
1867, and each broke up from 5000
acres to 5000 acres and built houses
for tenants. The plan was to open
up farms and sell to incoming settlers

from Earthquake Ruins.

ED. GAZETTE:
promised You | would write you
when | reached San Francisco, on
our way to Southern California, but
our time was so much taken up that
| did not get the time while there.
My previous visit at San Francisco
was twenty days after the earth
quake and fire. in 1906. The city
was vast waste. Today, as | step
out of the ferry house. see build
ings substantially built on every
hand. Those down near the water
front are mostly one and two story
buildings. but as go up Market
street farther, two and three story.
and up by the Call building and the
Spreckles building are the sky scrap

1t does not seem possible that so
much could be accomplished in build
ing up city as has been accomp-
lished in San Francisco in less than
three years. 1t is very evident that
it will be the same old San Francisco
again, and that time is not very far
distant. | note the buildings are
being built to withstand earth quake
shocks and fire proof-frame work
of steel covered with cement in a
great many cases. New buildings
are still going up by the hundreds
and many stories high.
We took car out to Golden Gate
Park and Cliff House. The Cliff
House burned to the ground last
summer. There is now building on
the old site club house entirely of
cement.

TO CELEBRATE MAY DAY

May Day will be celebrated this
year in Stafford by a big race meet.
ing and a base ball game between
teams from Globe and the Gila
Valley.
The Gila Valley Fair Association,
which was organized about year
ago, has recently been admitted to
membership in the American Trot.
ting Association, and all trotting
races will be held under the rules of
the Association. At the present
time there are about fourteen trot-
ters and PAGERS in course of training
at Athletic Park, and they are re-
ported to be working out fine. This
climate is specially good for thor
oughbreds, and with expert horse
trainers to look after the racers
there is every reason to believe that
in the near future many horse own
ers throughout the southwest will
take advantage of the climatic con-
ditions and the excellent quarters
afforded for stabling and training
their horses at Athletic Park.
The horses now at the park are
under the care and supervision of
an experienced veterinary surgeon
and a professional horse trainer.
The track is in fine condition for
working the horses, and it is ex-
pected that several records will be
broken at the race meeting on
May 1st.
The program for the meeting on
May 1st will be published later. 1t
is understood, however, that there
will be two trotting races and two
running races. A match game of
base ball will be played in the after
noon, closing the days sports at the
park.
In the evening there will be a
grand ball at Todd's Hall.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitu
tional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an inflamed condition of the mu.
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube
When this tube is inflamed you have
a rumbling sound or imperfect hear,
ing, and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to it's normal con.
dition, hearing will be destroyed for,
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an
infiamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars
for any case of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

THE SPEAKERS AUTOCRATIC
POWER

In recent years by skillful manip-
ulation and the adoption of code OF
rules the House has practically
ceased to be a deliberate body and
has been brought almost absolutely
under the control of the Speaker.
Louis XIV of France could not with
more truth say, Il am the State"
than the Speaker of the House of
Representatives, under the present
rules, can say, Il am the House" !"
1t has been demonstrated that it is
fruitless to attempt the passage Of
legislation antagonized by the Speak
er. When legislation has his ap-
proval its passage through the House
of Representatives proceeds with be-
wildering swiftness and smoothness.
His objection to measures cannot be
overcome by majority of the men,
bers. The Speaker is really the
master and not the servant of the
House.
We have witnessed his stern re-
fusal to permit the House to con-
slider measures petitioned for by a
majority of its members The sub
serviency of the House when its
proposals are thus obstructed is
amazing. Charles the First of Eng
land lost his head because he refused
to obey the expressed wishes of a
majority of the English Parliament.
Yet the members of the House of
Representatives tamely permit the
Speaker, elevated to his position by
their consent, to scorn to permit a
majority of them even to consider
the measures desired.
The Speaker has almost ceased to
be regarded either by himself or by
the country as the agent or spokes-
man of the House. He now con-
siders himself responsible to the
country both for the conduct and
legislation of the House. 1t seems
that the system has now so grown
that he regards himself as response
BILE to the country and the House as
responsible to him. Instead of leav-
ing to the Senate and the President
the veto power upon the action of the
House, as designed by the fathers
of the Constitution, he arrogates to
himself this power. He has become
far more a restraining power upon
the House than either the Senate or
the President. We now witness a
Speakers policy, no longer House
policy. The speaker believes his
selection makes him the responsible
leader of his party, and as such en-
titled to dominate it's policies and
control its legislation. Thus we
frequently witness rivalry between
the Speaker and the PRESIDENT
often a majority of the House in
thorough accord with the President,
but unable to give expression to
their preference in legislation, on
account of the power of the Speaker.

COMMERCIAL CLUB FOR THE
GILA VALLEY

The business men of the ella Val
ley have awakened at last to the
great necessity of organizing a com,
mercial club, and a call has been is
sued for a meeting of all the bust
ness men of the valley, from Geron-
imo to San Jose, to be held in SAT-
ford on Saturday, April 18th.
The GUARDIAN has repeatedly ad.
vocated the organization of com.
mercial club in this valley, which
would look after and take care of
the interests of its members, espec-
tally in the matter of better freight
rates.
The success of the commercial
clubs of Tucson and Phoenix in get
ting a reduction of freight rates has
given encouragement to the busi-
ness men of other cities to get to-
gether and organize clubs for the
protection of their interests, and the
Gila Valley is as much in need of an
organization of this kind as any
other business center in Arizona.
1t has been proven time and
again, that only through organized
effort can success be obtained for
betterinT business conditions, or for
securing tn. adjustment Of freight
rates or any other grievance that
shippers may have against the rail-
roads or express companies, and
when a matter of this kind Is taken
up by a commercial club, with all
the backing of strong organiza-
ton, there is sure to be respectful
hearing of the matter.
There are other matters besides
better freight rates that can be
taken up by a commercial club. The
question of a uniform price for val
ley products shipped to other points
is a very important one, and one
that can be taken care of by COM
mercial club in a way that would be
satisfactory IS evr4y member

CALIFORNIA RAISIN DAY,
APRIL 30th

| The raisin men of California hav
decided on April Both as "Raisil
Day." and are organizing to max
it success. The cooperation an,
assistance of railroads, steamship
lines, hotels and mercantile estab
lishments throughout California viii
be asked.
A meeting was held in Fresno OF
March 10th attended by representa-
tives from over the valley of tht
raisin interests and by representa-
tives of the Southern Pacific Com
pany.
At this meeting the executive
committee of the Chamber of Com.
merce decided to raise $35, 900, OF
more, to tell in simple language
just how much good it will do the
average citizen to eat raisins and
how to prepare them. This on
Raisin Day, with the hope that here
after they will help to dispose of the
$4,000 tons of luscious fruit Fresno
has on hand.
The campaign is not confined to
California, but is to be pressed
vigorously throughout the east.
The Southern Pacific Company
has agreed that all of its traffic
forces shall work to make Raisin
Day success. In all of its stations
in all its suburban trains, in all its
ferry boats, on all its Atlantic
steamers, it will put up posters ad-
vertising Raisin Day.

in all eating stations raisins are

man lines will cooperate and with

lines in the east. under charge of

of lectures delivered on the use Of
California raisins and the observance
of Raisin Day, reaching probably
5000 people.
The San Francisco hotels have al
ready signified their intention of
aiding, and will no doubt take con-
certed action. d..
A million raisin primers with
recipes will be distributed over the
United States, telling people how to
serve raisins and instructing them

Rheumatic

Miles Anti-Pain Pills is the only
remedy that relieves her."
MRS. G. DAVENPORT,
Royceheld, N. J.
The pains OF rheumatism are
almost invariably relieved with
DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills. They
also overcome that nervous irri-
tation which prevents sleep be-
cause they soothe the nerves. To
chronic suffers they are invalu-
able. When taken as directed,
they relieve the distress and
save the weakening influence OF
pain, which so frequently pros
trates. Many sufferers use them
whenever occasion requires with
the greatest satisfaction, why
not you? They do not derange
the stomach nor create habit.
Why not try them? Get a pack

according to directions, and if
it does not benefit he will return
