KEEP A-G0ZNG.'

There are many hard places in life
for one who must paddle his own
canoe. Disappointment and failure
often discourage and dishearten, de-
ceit and dishonesty dismay. and,
worst of all, treachery and betrayal
from those trusted as friends sadden
the heart of the one who struggles
alone. But after all, God grants one
the saving grace of knowing that
there is always a chance to retrieve
failures. that all men are not SO base
as to take unfair advantage of 9TH
ers TO promote their own interests,
that many are still honest and single
minded, and that, if one merits them,
he will always find friends who are
loyal and trustworthy For the sake
of the truly noble natures and the
faithful honest hearts that one may
find if he but looks for them, it is
worth while to keep on trying. Fail
ure is no sin. and brave soul will
endeavor to retrieve mistakes and
still meet the world with a cheerful
face. no matter what comes Climb
ing may be hard, but it is a whole lot
better to keep on trying than to give
up and waste time in grieving over
hardships. AS that gifted son of the
Southland, Henry W. Grady, advised
in the following pretty poem:
'If you strike thorn or rose.
Keep a-goin'
Bait your hook, and keep on tryin',
Keep a-goin'.
'Tain't no use to sit and whine
When the fish amt on your line;
Bait your hook and keep on tryin',
Keep a-goin'.
"When the weather kills your crop,
Keep a-goin'.
When you stumble, get right up,
An keep a-goin'.
S'pose you haven't got a dime,
Gettin. broke amt any crime
Tell the world you're feelin' fine
An keep a-goin'.
when it looks like all is up.
Keep a-goin'.
Drain the sweetness from the cup
An keep a-goin'
See the wild bird on the wing;
Hear the bells which sweetly ring;
When you feel like singing, sing,
But keep a-goin,.

A bill prohibiting the wearing of
hat pins more than ten inches long
has passed the Oregon legislature. A
hat pin is weapon of defense when
worn by a lady and the Legislature
ought not to interfere. 1t would be
better to give the ladies the right to
carry pistols than to take away their
right to wear hat pins foot long
Floresviiie Chronicle.
A ten-inch hat pin ought to be long
enough to serve the purpose of hold
ing hat on the head of the average
woman. and would doubtless also
make a very effective weapon.

McCracken Mines Sold.

w. D. McOright came in fro m Los Angeles last Tuesday, having com pleted arrangements with B. l. Godbe. of Salt Lake City, for the taking over of all his interests in the McCracken mines. The same people have also obtained options on the balance of the patented properties comprising the old and original McUracken and Signal mines. It is the intention of Mr. Godbe to at once place the properties with capitalists that are now backing him in other projects and begin the active work of developing the mines. It is understood that a treasury of several hundred thousand dollars is to be placed at the dispos al of the mine manager and the property opened to great depth. The McCracken mines are among the greatest properties in the territory of Arizona and under proper management and properly fl nanced ought to be producing gold, silver and lead in immense quantities within year. The main shaft on the group is now down over 400 feet and the ore body can be req chtd from that depth by a small amount of drifting. This will undoubtedly be done before the first of next January.-Kingman Miner.

 pr. A. K Fisher with the agricuI- tural department was a Mesa visitor yesterday, coming here with MT. Scott for the purpose of looking into the gopher proposition with respect to the railroad grade several miles out south east of Mesa where there is a high embankment. It is the duty of Dr. Fisher to assist the farmers in any way in getting rid of any pests that may destroy crops of any kind. He has lately arrived from a section in the north part of the United States where he exterminated several communities of meadow mice. He has in nvestigated the gopher customs and habits exten- sively and believes that a trap is the proper plan for this section. These traps will be carried by the ditch rid CTS and will be supplied by tha govern ment. The gopher has been the means of causing much destruction of prop erty.

Exports continued very heavy, ag- gregation nearly 76,oOO,OOO poundz during the month. and if delivered into domestic consumption have been approximately increased there has doubtless been a reduction of about 16.OOO.OOO pounds in producers hold ings during the month, but there has been a greater increase in accumula- visible.

MEDICAL CORPS OF THE
ARMY AND NAVY.

From the army and the navy the cry
goes up for q strengthening of the
Medical Corps Lieut.. Col. Jefferson R.
Kean of the army, in the current issue
of the Medical Record, writes of the
need for a full quota of trained medical
officers in time of peace, and in the
same publication DIR. Charles F. Stokes
of the navy discusses the medical de-
partment of the navy in time of war.
Lieutenant Colonel Kean presents a
picture of the medical service of the
army which young practitioners and
graduates of medical schools might do
well to give attention. He says there
are IO4 vacancies today in the Medical
Corps of the army. The pay, allow
ances, and status of medical officers
and their prospects of promotion have
all been recently improved by Con
gress. and an attractive career Is now
offered the young medical graduate.
He calculates that such graduate
can start at the equivalent of IS, 400
a year, and in FIVE years get $4,000.
He thinks young graduates are not wei
informed as to the prospects the army
offers, or there would be no vacancies.
DR.. Stokes presents a picture Of what
the navy in war time would lack in
medical service that is startling He
says that as the medical service of the
navy is now organized its breakdown
would be appalling. From the lessons
of the war in the Far East it is learned
that 1t would be necessary to provide
for 80 per cent of casualties Both in
men and in hospital ship facilities he
SAYS the navy medical corps is hope
lessly inadequate He calls for estab-
lishment Of a naval medical reserve
corps and properly appointed hospital
ships.
It is to be expected that the va
.cancies in the army medical corps, in
view of the attractions presented, will
not be long in filling up. The i'm
measurable Importance of the right sort
of medical supervision Of an army is
so fully demonstrated that the service
ought to appeal to the young and am
bilious graduate.
As to the situation portrayed by DR..
Stokes, it is too serious for Congress
to overlook. It has dealt generously with
the army medical corps, and should
now do as we'll by the navy.

GOV. HUGHES AND THE MER-
CAMILLE EXCHANGE.

Governor Hughes has accomplished
much good since he has occupied the
executive chair at Albany, but It is
only in isolated cases that a governor is
able TO do something that viii be di-
rectly and promptly beneficial to the
great masses of people whom he serves.
1t Is for this reason that the success
of the governor in smashing trust
should receive more than passing
notice.
An organization known as the Mer-
camille Exchange has flourished in New
York for many years, and its pros
perity was at the expense of every
family east Of the Missouri river, rich
or poor. It's members are composed of
commission merchants dealing in the
real necessities OF life. such as butter,
eggs. and the ike. This organization
deliberately set about to stife com
petition by reaching a daily agreement
as to what price should be fixed upon
the commodities in which its members
dealt. Each morning the most power
ful Influences in this organization met
and arbitrarily fixed the price Of he
provisions in which they dealt Their
quotations fixed prices not only in New
York city, but in Chicago, Boston,
Philadelphia, and other cities in the
East which supported produce mar
ket. Merchants who defed the rulings
OF the Mercantile Exchange complained
that they were boycotted.
It remained for Governor Hughes
Wall Street investigating committee to
curb some of the evils Of the trust 1t
recommended that the charter of the
organization be revoked. The trust
now sees danger ahead, and has voted
to abolish the official quotations. %
Perhaps it hopes by this method to
prevent the approval of the recommen-
dations Of the investigating committee.
In any event a step in the right di-
rection has been taken. a group Of
merchants in New York has no more
right to Rx the price Of table food
