FIRST TRIP IN MANY YEARS
North Dakota Men Go to Winnipeg by
River Route,

A large party of business men from
Grand Forks and other North Dakota
cities arrived at Winnipeg, Man., by
river route and were warmly well
coined by dozens of river craft, as this
was the first trip made from Grand
Forks to Winnipeg by steamer in
twenty-eight years. The object OF the
trip is to impress congress with the
feasibility of the Red river as an
venue of commerce, compile data and
secure a large appropriation for its
Improvement. Canada during the past
three years spent $1,000, 900 on the
Red river north of the boundary, build
irg locks at the worst rapids, raising
the level of the river eight feet and
making navigation possible by steam
boat through from Fargo and Grand
Forks to the head of Lake Winnipeg,
a distance of 800 miles.

Strange Death of

 Yesterday morning Bravo was in the bed of Salt R yer, below the city, with his wagon and team. He had just filled he wagon with sand and gravel and was driving out Of the river bed when he told he companion tha, he was very sick.
 "The world is spinning around me, he said. Everything is growing dark

The Mules Must
 Take Bath in 0II

All Oi the mules which are to be brought scross the line have now ar rived at Nog.les, numbering in all about 700. These mus. all undergo the dipping in oil process, for the de- struction of the ticks reported found upon them, under a supervision oi the government vtternsry inspectors.
 After the dipping process has been com pleted. the mule, will be held at Nogales for few daye. ss it would not be c wise policy to load thetn into the cars immediately after heinz plunged into the oil. But nevertheless, it is thought that the muies can all reach Courtland by the end of this week.
 One hundred and ffty of these mules are slight y incspacitated, and these will be shipped on to the Grant Brothers ranch of two sections near Phoenix, where they will be put out to pasture until they are in working form once more.
 The balance o. the mule. will be throun into the Sulphur Springs val- ley for the completion of the Ii efrom Courtland through Forrest to Naco and Douglas.

A New Windmill a
 Phoenix Invention

The Gazette says that F. Hards of Phoenix is the inventor of a windmill which is destined to revolutionize the msnnufacture Of that kind of machine and also to work wide change in pump jacks" for eielectric I and gas. oline engines. By utilizing certain principles of mechanics with which everyone who has stud ed the subject is familiar, he has quadrupled the pow CT it is possible to obtain from an or. dinsry windsill.
 For the past eight months Mir Hard has hal one of his mills in op- eration in his back yard. The wheel is only five feet in diameter, yet it throws continuous two.inch stream of water and is capable of doing eveD more.
 The "windmill head, ss the mach. inery at the top of the tower is called IS radically different from anything ever before manufactured. The wheel itself is unlike any other in that the fans Heather with" the wind. In a light wind they can be co set that its lull force comes against them.
 The application of the lever prin- ciple ID the p'nion wheel connecting the lever with the plunger doubles the power. The straight up and down stroke more than trebles 1t. The stroke is the most unique and won. derful part about MT Hsrd's inven- ton. Ordinary mills cannot utilize 8 stroke of more than F inches, even with 6 22.foot wheel. With any kind of a wheel Mr Hsrds can use anything from l2 to a 3;-inch stroke. The one one he has on his first mill, which has a 5-foot wheel, is F inches long.

 Benson to Yuma

The building of the extension of the Fl Psso d Southwestern railroad from Benson to Yuma ia TO longer a guess, but. according to many newspaper reports, IS soon to be s reality. It more than probable that the line will be continued to tidewater on the Gulf of California.
 For some time this company has had two engineering outfits in the field between these two points, and it is said they have decided on line to run south of the s. P. trough the old m n ing camp of Ajo.
 Several good discoveries of copper have been made in the viciuity of hjo recently by several companies operat. ing 'n that district. The Copper Queen pc pie end the Calumet & Ari-
 zons men have extensive interests in
 the Ajo field. Many have asserted
 that the old Spanish mining district in that section IS likely to rival thu

Much valuable data concerning the early history of Arizona has been se- cured by Mulford Winsor. territorial historian, about the puntatiye expedi- ton led into Mexico by Henry Crabb in 1857, which resulted in the death of Crsbb and lO6 Of his followers, through the treachery of the man Crsbb had planned to assist.
 From what l could gather from Prof Forbes and others," said Wipsor to the Democrat reporter A. Phoenix. "Crabb organized his expedition in California following an understanding with Pesqueirs that in the event of the latter being able to overthrow | Governor Gsndsro of Sonora, Ora bb was to have A string of territory lying along the north boundary of Sonora
 "Crsbb was 70 have furnished 1000 men, but entered Mexico by way Oi Yuma with only l0G. While they were on the way, Pesqriers conquered Pandaro, and took charge of Sonora
 "When Crsbb reached ( sborcs, Pes auiera. who had no further use fol him, repudiated bis agreement. Cratt and all his followers were captured but uere promised eate escort back t' the United States. They were al taken out and trescherously shot in stead.

 A distinguished educator has recently formulated what
 he calls a new religion, and a
 minister of the gospel has just
 said that in time the Bible
 will give way to a better and
 more important book. Not
 withstanding the high posi-
 ton these two men occupy
 they have not succeeded in
 con fincing people to their way
 of thinking. Probably it is
 due in the first instance to the
 fact that our present religion really embraces all the essen
