Will Kineman lncorporate7

Many business men of Kingman have been agitating the proposition of in- cooperating the town and 1t is prob- able that before many months pass by a move in that direction will take shape. Kingman is probably the larg- est town in the territory that has failed to take advantage of the oppor- tunities afforded through incorpora- tion. One of the good things that in- corporation would bring is the level- ing up of the streets, clearing out of alleys, oilng streets and in general improving the town. All these things could be done by the levying of a small yearly tax on property and bus mess. But it is up to the people, or rather will be, to decide.

Fire At Chloride.

Thursday evening, about eight o'clock, fire broke out in the City Hall, at Chloride, and in an incredibly short space of time the fire fiend was sweeping through the block of build ; ings between the hall and the Metro pole hotel. A slight breeze carried the flames away from the south side of the street and saved that part of the town. The breeze changed to the northwest before the flames reached the hotel, which accounts for the sav- ing of that structure. The buildings destroyed were as follows: City Hall, owned hy Alfred Donkey; barber shop, owner unknown: Meredith's saloon building, owned by D. F. Meredith; Charley Suey's restraurant, owned by Alfred Conkey; vacant building; Robert Meara's saloon. Nearly all col tents of the buildings were saved, but the loss on buildings amounts to about fifteen thousand dollars. The fire originated in gasoline tank, used in lighting the hall. The pipe leading from the tank was observed to be leak ing and the gas was shut off from the distributing pipes until the leak could be repaired. The exhaust of the gas holder was opened to allow the escape of pressure and some one brought lighted candle into the room causing an explosion that set fire to the build ing. The buildings burned like finder and the destruction was complete in less than an hour.
 The people of Chloride are energetic and it is believed that more substan- tial buildings will be shortly erected over the burnt district.

A. N. Taylor, principal of the Ari- zona Northern Normal school, Fla staff, has been in Kingman several days this week talking up the summer school of the Normal. With Prof. Taylor we believe that the Normal school, at Flagstaff, is deserving of the patronage of the people of the north part of the territory, not only on ac- count of its situation but because of the peculiar educational advantages of that institution.

The Land Of the Golden Grain.
Never before in the history OF
the honestcader and the settle
ment Of the western prairies has
there been such tremendous crops
raised on virgin soil. Heretofore,
it always required from three TO
five years to subdue the sod suffi-
ciently to produce profitable crops
OF grain. But this condition has
been reversed in thr district sur.
rounding Culbertson. On the farm
OF Leland NJ. Ford, situated three
miles from Culbertson, ten acres
of sod produced sag bushels OF
blue stem wheat; All average OF
So 9 bushels per acre. Lars Sal
v-vold threshed 5000 bushels Of
blue stem wheat from Io2 acres oi
sod; an average OF so bushels per
acre. Bert Bowers threshed l 300
bushels Of blue stem from 40 acres;
an average OF IS bushels per acre.
| w. Dale threshed 1920 bushels
from 40 acres; and so down the
line. The wonderful results OF
grain raising in this district has
astonished the agricnlturalists
throughout the United States and
Canada The managers Of the
four elevators at Cnlber;son state
without hesitation that throughout
their experience IN buying giain
for the past tweatv years, they
have never before bought as fine a
crop. Most OF the wheat graded
