eral freight agent in 1878. He
held the position for nine years and
during that time did as much prob.
ably as any other railroad official
to increase and facilitate the long
haul traffic.
He was freight traffic manager
for the Central Pacific for the next
two years, and then it was but a
step for him to reach the post of
general traffic manager of the &c.
P" and all it's leased lines. He re-
manned there only a year because
the Southern Pacific needed just
such an expert as he.
So he went over to that line as its
traffic manager in 1885, and today
he is it's vice-president and traffic
director. Ever since he became as
sociated with Hartman he has en-
joyed the latter's complete confid-
ence in his ability. .-Bookkeeper.

LILLE. FRANCE.

September 3, 1909.
EDITOR GUARDIAN: the past
two years my time has been taken
up with various missionary labors,
and to some it may seem that |
have been negligent along the line
of corresponding.
Your paper has been received
regularly, and take this opportur
ity of thanking you for your kind
ness in sending it to me. A per-
usal of each weekly edition has al
ways been enjoyed. 1t has kept me
in touch with many incidents of in
terest that have transpired during
my absence.
Ny present field of labor is near
the Belgium frontier of this Repub-
lie. At this season of the year the
surrounding county is, indeed, beau
tiful. The country roads connect
ing the small villages are all macad-
amized, and travelling does not pres
ent such a task as it does in our
own Territory.
Lille is the metropolis of northern
France, and is a commercial center
of considerable importance. Cen
turies ago it was we'll fortified by a
double wall, and the same is in a
good state of preservation. There
are thirteen gates leading out of
the city, and all incoming wagons
of produce are taxed. This is one
of the city's means of collecting rev.
enue.-
1t is stated that one-third of the
population of the whole of France
is engaged in the making of wine.
A glance at the numerous drink
halls convinces me that a good por-
tion of this is consumed at home.
Women and children frequent such
places quite as freely as men do.
The person serving at the bar is in
variably young girl-the most at
tractive ones are naturally in great
demand.
/ trust you will overlook my
carelessness in not thanking you at
an earlier date.
With sincere wishes for the con-
tinued success of your paper, / re-
main,
Truly yours,
JOHN A. ALLEN.

THE NORTH POLE JOWER

The unseemly controversy over
the discovery of the North Pole is
nearing that stage when the public
will be almost sorry that it was ever
discovered, says the Ell Paso Times
If either of the explorers be able
to prove the charges each has pre-.
ferred against the other the unani,
nous conclusion will be that il
would have been better all around
had the pole never been found.
DR.. Frederick A Cook who claims
to have reached it last year appears
to have gone about it in a quiet,
sensible, businesslike way. His ex-
perience on former voyages to the
Arctic regions was very valuable to
him in planning in a practical way
for the adventure. He seems to
have preferred to first make the
discovery then tell about it, and his
conduct since his return has been
that of the quiet, modest man of
deeds.
Commander Peary went off to
hunt the pole in rather spectacular
way, after elaborate preparations.
His conduct on his return has been
disappointment. He denounced
DR.. Cook in bitter and insulting
terms. DR.. Cooks only crime seems
to have been that while Peary was
talking and sending off fireworks
preparatory to the voyage of dis
covery, he made the voyage and the
discovery. Had he known that the
pole belonged to Peary and his
hackers or that they had staked off
the claim, it is possible that he
might have had more manners than
to go ahead and discover it.
Those who doubted DR.. Cooks
story of discovery laid great stress
upon the fact that it would have
been impossible for him to have
travelled fifteen miles miles day.
Peary's story was that he made
twenty-five miles a day. Then they
relied upon the fact that Cook had
to act as witnesses for him,
but two Eskimos. 1t turns out that
Peary's witness was a single Eskimo.
DR.. Cook declared that the data
gathered by Peary would corrobor-
ate that collected by him, and
strange to say the publication of
both stories in parallel columns did
what Cook claimed it would do
him.
DR.. Cook declared that he believ-
ed Peary reached the pole and that
ne was glad of it. Peary called
Cook liar by telegraph and declar-
ed Cook had never been to the
pole.
Why Peary should be so mad
about it and act like an anger-craz-
ed boy is incomprehensible. Ger
-ainly there is glory enough in the |
achievement for both and then some |

THE COUNTY FAIR

If there is one thing more than
another that helps to advertise all
that is best in a community whose
prosperity depends almost entirely
upon the farmer, it is the holding
of the annual county fair.
This fact should be apparent to
every business man in the Gila VAL
ley, more so than any other part of
Graham County, and the first an
nual county fair should receive the
hearty support of every business
house in every town of the valley.
There is more real good accom-
plished in bringing all the people
together in annual meeting than all
the celebrations or conventions that
could be held during the year. The
real business backbone of the Gila
Valley is the farmer. He is the one
who labors successfully and secures
the crops that make it possible for
the business man to prosper. His
wheat. barley and corn keeps the
valley mills busy. His alfalfa makes
the hay that brings about the yearly
competition between the dealers, be-
sides giving employment to large
number of farm laborers. His vege-
tables and fruits not only support
his family, but he raises more than
he needs and gives the merchant
something to sell, or he sells his
overproduction to the mining camps
and brings the money back to the
valley. In either case the merchant
shares in his prosperity. His poul-
try, eggs and butter is also bust
ness asset, and his dairy cows keeps
the creamery busy every day in the
year.
The farmer must produce the
crops that sell, or there would be
no money in the valley. When
crops are poor, business is dull; |
when crops are good, business is
good. Therefore. the business man
in the Gila Valley, no matter what
his business may be, whether it is
groceries, hardware, farming i'm
plements, clothing, shoes, lumber,
or any kind of merchandise stock
that must be carried to supply the
wants of the farmer and his family,
should always be in the front rank
in any proposition to bring about
improvement and advancement for
all alike.
The business men of the valley
then should do everything in their
power financially and otherwise, to
help the farmer, and if the county
fair brings out all that is good on
the farm and encourages the farm
er to improve his horses, cattle,
dairy cows and other stock, what
better thing could be devised.
There is no better place to show
all the latest improved farm ma
chinery, and here is the chance, the
opportunity, for the wide-awake
business man who handles farming
lmplements-the county fair. The
same can be said of everything else
that pertains to farming, or is the
result of farm labor.
The first annual fair of Graham
County is to be held in Stafford,
October lst and I'd. An interesting
program has been arranged for both
days. and the opportunity is afforded
10 the up-to-date merchant to in
.erest those who visit the fair, and
ielp make the fair success in
very way, and pave the way for an
,nnual county fair each year. Let
Is all get together and boost the
irst annual Graham County fair for
III we are worth.

Turkey hens begin laying early in
the spring. and as they usually make
their nests on the ground, 1t is not ad-
yisable to let them hatch the first lot
OF eggs. unless one can get them to Sit
in some sheltered place.
II the hen sits in a cold. damp nest
the eggs will not hatch well. This
is often the cause OF weak, sickly
poults.
While turkey hens make the best
mothers, 1t is a good plan to hatch the
first clutch OF eggs with chicken hens:
then by the time the turkey hens have
finished the second laying the weather
ts somewhat warmer and they may be
allowed to sit.
See that the hens have good nests
and are kept free OF lice. II the hens
are allowed to sit in old nest-boxes
they will soon become regular louise
incubators. Then when the little tur-
keys come out your trouble will begin
In earnest.
It doesn't take many lice to kill n
young turkey. A young turkey cannot
endure these life-sapping creatures as
long as chick can.
II the feed is all right. and still they
do not seem to thrive. the chances arc
that they have vermin OF some sort.
Spread the wings out and examine
well on both the inside and outside.
The latter Is a favorite hiding place.
and It sometimes happens that no lice
can be found anywhere else. However.
It Is not uncommon to find the large
lice wherever there are pin-feathers.

as soon as they are Matched.
