A BOOKER WASHINGTON STORY.

Booker I. Washington, at a dinner in
Cleveland during the National Educa-

complimented by a clergyman on his
~eloquence. Mr.. Washington in reply
told d story of a Southern minister,
who could not have been very eloquent.

the midst of this minister's sermon a
head poked itself through the door of
the Vestry n in a low, tremulous
voice, said: 'Parson, the church Is on
ire Very well, Brother Spriggins.'
the minister answered, I will retire.
Perhaps you'd better wake up the con-
gregation.'"

BENSON SHELTER SOON
 t To BE BLOWN IN

BENSON, Ariz., Oct. 9.-Telephone communication with the Arizona Uni ted Mines company of Johnson this morning secured the information that the new smelter would be blown in this evening or tomorrow morning. It was expected that the plant would have been in operation two weeks ago but inability to secure plenty of iron ore for fluxing was the cause of delay. It is understood that the company has made arrangements to secure all the iron ore that will be needed in future The new .smelter starting, rolling stock arriving for use on the new railroad into camp, and the rich strikes of ore being made in the shafts of the Arizona United Mines and the Keystone and the population increasing by. the ad- ditional miners going into camp, is giving an active tone to the Johnson camp that is certainly good to mo- tiee.

Phillip Augustine, until few days ago employed in the Merritt soda water works, left Friday for BOuse, where he has mining interests adja- cent to that town to look after. He says that the continued use of the Vito mineral water has stimulated him to that extent that he feels like a mining magnate, and before the eff fects wear off he desires to look into the ground that he owns, be- lieving that he has a genuine bon anza lying around loose, and will proceed to dig hard while in the mood. 4a

MURPHY PLEASED
 -4@-s WITH MINING OUTLOOK
From snnday.s Danyl


 CFrom Sundays Daily
 Among the prominent Arizonans in civil, life who will figure promi- ,nently in the welcoming of President Taft to the territory is F. NJ. Mur phy, who reached the city Friday from New York. Mir. Murphy returns from the east after a hurried trip which was hastened by his desire to meet the president personally and ex- tend him any courtesies within his power.
 Recently in Washington, MT. Mur- phy and the president were in com sultatiOn over matters affecting this territory. On Monday evening MT. Murphy will leave for the Capital City, where he will spend a day on matters of business. He will accom- pany B. P. Cheney, a director of the Santa Fe, who is coming to the ter ritory in his special ear and who also will be one of the presidential party after it leaves Yuma. As guests of MT. Cheney will be V. l.. Mason of Boston, vice president of the Devel- opment Company of America, and Governor R. E. Sloan.
 On the special train on this Oeea- sion will be a special Pullman for the guests of Governor Sloan, a number of prominent men in the pO- htieal and industrial life of the ter ritory having this accommodation set aside for their use.
 Col. Epes Randolph of the South ern Pacific, will join the party at Yuma in his special ear "Poeahon- tas."
 In speaking of his mining interests in this section and especially so of the Crown King purchase that was recently eonsummated when the Yav- apai Consolidated Gold and Silver Mining company, of which he is the president, took this ground over, he speaks eneOuragingly. It is his pur- pose to start the work of cleaning out the long tunnel that cuts into this property and to take the water out of the main shaft at the earliest practicable date.
 MT. Murphy displayed considerable enthusiasm over recent development on the Wildflower group, less than two miles distant from the Crown King. In the deepest workings on this property the richest gold anI silver ore ever mined in the Brad shaws was cut into a few days ago and this has increased his interest in that enterprise immeasurably. On the old Tiger, exploitation continues under favorable conditions and when plans are carried out that are out lined, this old producer will come into deserved prominence again. The mineral combination in evidence now under MT. Murphy's dominion in the Bradshaws is regarded as an attrae- tive one in mining circles and in the trinity of groups seen the most de- sirable propositions in that splendid region are welded in a triangle that the future will prove the wisdom of acquiring.

 PLACED AT $1O,OOO
CFrom Sundays Daiiy)


 The preliminary examination of Dempsey. B. Powell, accused of the murder of Dewitt Milligan, was had yesterday before Judge MeLane. He waived examination and was held to appear before the next grand jury in the sum of $1O,O0O.
 His father, W. D.

YAvAPAI FIRST TEACHER
 IS CALLED BY DEATH
cFrom Sundays Daily)

Death has overtaken another Ari- zona pioneer of the 60's, as s. c. Rogers, familiarly known to all resi- dents of this county, has passed away at Bakersfield, Cal. Adviees to this effect were received in Prescott yes terday by his granddaughter, Mar garet French. His death occurred on October and a strange coincidence attending his last day on earth is linked to the late s. c. Miller, an other pioneer, who also died on that day at practically the same hour.
 MT. Rogers was probably more prominently known in educational circles of Arizona than any other in structor. He was the first public school teacher in Yavapai county and so zealous was he in the cause of the public in that line that he built the first school house in this city with his own hands and in addition to that assistance, contributed his money toward that project. This building still stands and is situated on South Granite street, on the cor ner of Carleton and borders on the north bank of Granite creek With the exception of a few changes this historic structure is the same that it was in 1868.
 A few days previous to his death, in a letter he wrote to this city, he feelingly referred to this old cabin, which he cherished in memory to the last.
 MT. Rigers followed the vocation of farmer on Walnut creek after his retirement from the public schools. His place was selected as the post office, receiving the title of "Charm- ingdale," and for many years there after he was better known as "Charmingdale Rogers" which ap- pellationf was pleasing to him.
 His last pubic appearance was in the campaign of eight years ago when he made the race for probate judge on the Republican ticket. He was then eighty years old and his remarkable vitality was frequently commented upon. Since that event Mr. Rogers began to decline. He was persuaded by his sisters a year ago to retire and to leave the old place on Walnut creek and after much per suasion on their part he left for Bakersfield His sisters residing there are Mrs. A. F. Lowell and Mrs. M. Teller.
 MT. Rogers reached Prescott early in 1867, arriving with his wife from Indiana. Thirteen years ago she pre- ceded him to the unknown. On near ing this city in that far away day, the report was in circulation that MT. and Mrs. Rogers were in danger of their lives by Indians and upon receipt of this news a delegation of pioneers were sent on to meet them. They were about to be attacked and the arrival of the rescuers was op- perfume as they were surrounded and in a short time would have been lost.
 MT. Rogers had reached the ad- vanced age of eighty-eight years and his death was due to olu age, the end coming peacefully and without any suffering whatever.
 He leaves in addition to the above daughter, Mrs. Washington French, residing in Los Angeles and two sons, one in Mohave county and the other at Russell, N. M.

Gilbert says that more people are passing through to the eastern section of the county than has prevailed for some mOnrhs. indicating that the field is considered desirable in mining, agricultural and cattle interests. Dewey is the gate way to a large scope of country in industrial pursuits by wagon trans portation.

INTERESTING ITEMS
 FROM MAYER COUNTRY

MAYER, Oct. 9.-The September meeting of the Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society of Mayer was held at the residence of Mrs. Jones of Rigby on Thursday after noon, September 30. As Japan was the subject for September, the host ess received in a pretty Japanese dress, an exact imitation of a cos tune brought from Yokohama.
 Mrs. Cramer, vice-president, pre- sided in the absence of the presi- dent, Mrs. Wagner, who has not re- turned from the sad errand in which she and her husband, Rev. H. N. Wag- ner, took back the precious remains of their only child, Donald, to lay with kindred dust in the cemetery of Ackley, Iowa.
 After devotional services, and the reading of the minutes of the last meeting, came a recitation of writ ten questions and answers on the land of the "Sunrise Kingdom" which was very helpful and instructive. A letter was read from Elizabeth P. Milliken, who has been in Japan twenty-five years and is president of an important college in Tokio. Her letter gives much, in brief space, of the past and present. She writes:- "It was not easy at first for Japan to understand Commodore Perry's in- vitation to come forth from the se clusion of centuries and mingle with the outside world; but as the import of this modern Occidental message came to be grasped, the whole na- tion from throne to cottage made friendly response, to friendly appeal. Japan would be a peaceful member of the modern family of nations. The feudal war-like form of her old organization she laid aside forever 1" We regret we cannot transeribe at greater length from Miss Milliken s letter.
 Mrs. Averill read most admirable and original paper on Buddha and Buddhism which so deeply impressed the members of the society that it was requested that the paper be care fully preserved.
 Following this a clipping was read of the finding very recently of a part of the cremated remains of Buddha at Peshawar City, although he died more than twenty-five cen turies ago.
 The reading of an article from a Minneapolis daily paper of September 19 gave added interest to the close of the meeting. It was, with refer ence to the Japanese Industrial Com mission, sent by the Emperor of Ja- pan to investigate the industries of America. These fifty special envoys and their wives were about to re- ceive special honors from the City of Minneapolis and be banqueted at the beautiful Lake Minnetonka. A pleasant feature was the enjoy ment of stereoptieon views of Japan and various phases of Japanese life.
 Following the literary program came a very pleasant social time, when the ladies played games on the beautiful Rigby lawn. Soon they were called to the prettily arranged table of the dining room to enjoy the dainty refreshments so bounti- fully served by the hostess. At each plate was a souvenir typical of the occasion, two interesting leaflets on missionary work, tied with lavender ribbon. Each lady said goodbye to her hostess feeling she had spent a most delightful and profitable after noon.

The governments policy, Mr.. Bal

struction of irrigation work by private
capital, but rather to lend it encour.
agement. The danger which the gov.
eminent is undertaking to overcome is
the establishment of small irrigation
projects in localities where. by such
establishment, larger opportunities are
destroyed, thus preventing enormous
areas of lands from ever acquiring the
use of water. At times, private enter
prises are disposed to contend that
the government is obsructing their
interests, while from larger view
! their interests are obstructing the
greater possibilities for larger areas
of irrigable land.

TO
HOLD WHEAT CROP
SUCH is PLAN OF NORTHWEST
FARMERS SAYS TOURING
OBSERVER.
SIDE TRACKS ARE CROWDED
WITH EMPTY CARS
FOR RUSH.

Superior, Aug. 12.-That the farm
ers will hold up their wheat this fall
for higher prices is the opinion ex-
pressed by NJ. ], Cashel of the North
Dakota Grain company, who was in
the city after spending month il
the western wheat belt soliciting
business for his firm.
From what | could determine,
said Mr. Cashel. lin my travels
through the district, in the past
month. the farmers will doubtless
hold their wheat in the west and de.
mand higher prices"
MIR, Csshel. who resided at Grafton,
n, D., for Is years before coming here
a year ago. also stated that the crop
this year was the finest that he had
ever heard of with the possible excep-
ton of 1895. which was remarkable
year.
Continuing he said: THE thresh-
ing this year is bound to take longer
than last on account of the heavy
straw. Last years harvesting was
cleared up in short order from the
fact that the straw was exceptionally
light. The farmers are beginning to
do little cutting, mostly barley.
About the last of the month the
threshing will commence in good
shape.
During my visit through the Da.
.N~ 4 4
localities which had suffered from the
rain. However, the rains were purely
local retarding the crops only in the
northern part of the Red river valley
and in the vicinity of jamestown,
N. d.
THE harvest hands are beginling
to arrive, but not as rapidly as the
farmers wish 1t. There are a number
out there who will MT work and who
are holding out for higher wages.
THE car shortage talked of here is
not apparent there from what / could
see. Every station, junction point
and siding has cars reserved on ".
cry available bit of trackage. AT the
larger places, as Fargo, Minot and
Grand Forks, there are hundreds OF
cars on the tracks. Whether or not
these will all be swept away in the
first rush could not say, but IT does
not seem likely"
