SUIT STARTED OVER

named as defendants.
1t appears that Stone claims to

from the original locator, Cyrus Nc

the view of defrauding them out of
their interests. Mrs. Fisher declar-

disposed of half interest to Har-

that the ground was open.

THE WAY IT GOES.

Newspaper men, as a rule, have blu
two things to sell-space and sub
scription-and 1t would be just as
consistent to ask your grocer for a
dozen oranges lust to fill up as to
ask the editor for a dozens lines in
his paper just to boost your bust
ness in helping to ''fill up" space.

tel just to make q show of business

We heard well known character
in Phoebe remark recently that he
did not believe in paying subscrip-
ton to newspaper until at the ex-
piration OF year. We also know
that II the Record depended on such
men as he the doors would be nail
ed up tight. There is just as much
logic In this mans reasoning as there
is to ask the -grocefyman to carry
him a year without pay But the

BUSINESS MEN, BE ALERT.

The committee having charge of
the matter of soliciting membership
for the proposed business mems club
is reported to be making splendid
Roadway. The MEMBERS of the com
mittee will hold another meeting at
the rooms Of the Bank of Phoebe to-
morrow afternoon .at which
time general plan OF organization
will be outlined.
No business man should be urged
to fall into line on this proposition;
on the contrary they should endeavor
to help make the club a power for
good in this community. The time is
ripe for such an organization. Be-
cause some former attempt towards
something Of the kind met with fail

up calamity howl and declare 1T S
no use trying" No success was ever
made without the ptoper efforts The
club can be made grand success
Il we go about it right. With every
body working as unit, it viii be
surprising what can be accomplished.
We want to see the new smelter
located right in the edge Of the town
OF PiSohe; but the Record has re
ceiyed information to the effect that
there is no certainty it will be. Cal

while we are confident that the plant
will not go to the town down the way
at the same time it behooyes the bus

been operated for the year past at a
total loss of over $4,000. Upon in

assessment of $7.629 was set arbitrar-
