FAIR GROUNDS
DRIVING PARK
A. b. COURTWAY PROMOTING
PLAN TO PURCHASE GROUNDS
FOR RACE COURSE AND FAIR
GROUNDS.

A. B. Courtway is taking the initi-
ative in the plan to form a stock
company to purchase twenty acres of
land at the mouth of No. 2 canyon.
just below the George Farwell place,
to be made into driving park and
fair grounds. 1t is proposed to or
ganize stock company with a capt.
tai stock of SIS, 1000, each share to
be of the par value of 500.
A number of business men are
pleased with the proposition and Mr..
Courtway is meeting with success in
his efforts to promote this company.
The plan is to secure the land, fence
it, build the necessary buildings, lay
out a driving course, make a ball
park, have place where county
fairs. chicken shows and horticultu-
raj meetings may be had.
Mr.. Courtway, in talking of the
matter this morning, stated that this
seems to be the most available tract
of land that can be secured near the
city. 1t can be made perfectly level
with little expense. He suggests
planting shade trees and otherwise
identifying a portion of the land
The city needs ball park, fair
grounds and driving park. With not
great deal of expense this can be
made into an ideal amusement
grounds and within a very few years
there will be an electric line running
through the valley and this park
will be connected with the city by
car line. Mr.. Courtway suggests that
it would be practical for the county
horticultural association to erect a
building on the grounds for exhibit
purposes. 1t is possible the poultry
association would care to do like
wise. Possibly the Chelan County
Pioneer Association would care ID
erect building there. Thus the pro-
posed grounds could be made head
quarters for county meetings and
would be great thing for the resi-
dents generally.
MIR. Courtway is working among
the business men on this proposition
and it is thought that he will meet
with encouragement enough to form
the company.

Bisbee and Globe. The re- suit of that trip was the scalping Of Governor Kibbey in the Tucson con yentioa which came off few weeks later. It is now believed that Adams is again out for the scalp of the governor and it may be expected that he will show up in other counties of the territory during the next few days. Mr. Adams is a receptive candidate for governor himself. bat 1t Is believed that it is his first ob. ject to again dangle another Kibbey scalp at his belt and In this object be will receive the assistance of many strong Republicans in all sec tions of Arizona.

There was 10 foundation for the foolish story that there was a proba- bility of shut down at Cananea- The fact is that Cananea Is now in position to produce copper along with the most favored districts in this section of the country. The proposition of suspension of operation at Cananea has never even been dis oussed by the managers of ule Greene-cananea company. and copper viii go considerably lower before such a proposition will be discussed
 It is estimated that four thousand miners are now employed in the mines of the Warren district.

The presence of Captain Jim Hoat- son in Bisbee is cause for general qualification throughout the Warren district. The first coming of Captain Hoatson to this district was follow ed by grand results in the devel- opment of some of the best mines from which ore is now being sent to the Douglas smeiters. He is always welcome and t is hoped that his presence here may be more frequent in the future. Since his last visit to the Warren district. Captain Hoatson made an extended trip through the principal countries Of Europe for the benefit of his health which was much improved as a result of his travels.

A TE NNEssEE JURY PRcvEs ITS SAND.

Tennessee stands higher .Sday in the estimation of every Ameriean waO reads the newspapers. Justice Is a fact within Ter iorders, not fanoy As exemplified by the verdict in the Cooper case and the findings against the Night Riders. her people believe in the law and are not afraid to en- force it
 By the evidence addueed in the trial of these two prominent citizens of Nashville. they set out with firearms to find another man. found him. called to him and shot him. Every essen, tial to murder under the definition of ths law was fulfilled. The defense depended entirely on the fact that the victims also was armed and upon general confusion of these palpable c4fculi slaASes-
 The jury did not 6o its full duty, possibly. The plea of self-defense comes with no grace from men who set out to provoke a fight But they did not acquit-1as other Americans do in sixty-nine cases out of seventy; and. these shameful figures. though not official, are based upon the best calculations that have yet been made. Their courage and good judgment are moro remarkable in the light of the reported circumstances that they comprised one of the most illlterate juries ever summoned in cause of wide interest. The nation should not marvel so much that the verdict was only for murder in the second degree as at any worthy finding what. ever, if seven of the twelve men who report 1t cannot even read.
 At Union City, several weeks ear. Her, Tennessee found a similar win. dication. Here was a jury of more intelligence, but in a position of equal difficulty, The Night Riders were neighbors to the iurymen. Friends of the accused men swarmed the court house. A verdict of guilty menaced the lives of the jurymen who signed il Yet verdlcts of guilty were reported and law and order were not ridden down by later mu- teTs of men who had proven them selves brave anu good citizens.

THE ONE-cENT LUNCH.

An eastern contemporary does not look with approval on the Los Angeles scheme of a 'ore-cent lunch for school chil- .dren. Our eastern contemporary says that some people may rejoice over the institution of penny lunch in one of the Los Angeles schools; to others it will be one of the re- grettabie incidents that from time 10 time show the godship Charity drift ing toward the rec: of Socialism. To extend helping hand to the poor is worthy of all praise and emulation, but to undermine the independence of the people by teaching them to look for help from others, or insttll- ing into their minds the idea that the state or society owes them an lily defined something or other, that is a tendency which must be guarded against if this is not to become 8 nation of servile spungers.
 The California School serves hot soup, buns and fruit to its pupils for one cent. A civic association is di- Fecting the work, and the penny pay ment is required ''to instiH a spirit of independence As the actual cost Of each portion is I cents, the talk about independence is decidedly pathetic. The experiment seems to be a dubious compromise between charity and socialism.
 If there is widespread want in Los Angeles, if there are many families unable to provide their children with sufficient noarishing food, the the penny lunch Is justified Otherwise it is an invitation to pauperize them selves. Such invitations are readily accepted by a considerable percentage of people. and thus the standard ei manliness, the capacity for self-help and the sense of parental responsibil ity are impaired. The lesson of oi' Rome. which fed its pupulaoe until i would TO longer work, may be re peated in the new world. That i why such institutions as the penn, school lunch are not to be viewe' with unmipgIed qualification.
