i There'll be no dice shaking in Bis bee. You can't play nickle, a penny, quarter. half. or, in Eact, anything in the slot for chips, money, marbles- chalk. good will or merely the fun of the thing. You can't play poker, pam or anything with cards, nor can you match piekets for the cigars. The newly enacted anti-gambling bill is being enforced and in Coenise county and all Arizona the lid is on hard and fast.
 There was great uproar in the saloons, cigar stoisss. drug stores, candy stores, and every other place where a slot machine or a dice box had been in operation, yesterday. Early in the day Sheriff White tele- phoned to Deputy Bill White here, telling aim to give every one due no tice and then see that the new law was enforced to the letter Fh.s vas done.
 When the news of the sheriff's edic. was first received here yesterday Dep uty White began the rounds of the stores and saloons. even including private clubs, warning each proprie- tor or body of men that in case any gambling was found to be going on they would be liable.
 There $ every evidence that there will be Instant and absolute eompli- ance with the law. Cards were thrown cut q the back doors of some saloons, and in each place as well as at the cigar stands customers were informed of the new law, and its En- terprotation
 N. In every town in tic county the
 action was taken by the sheria o- -, deputies. and ere the sun rises h tbis % m,, Ring all will nave lad full warning.
 The law ,is very stringent .n it's Dro- visions moi !. s. ngle gambling device being neglecte,S ar..f even goes so far as to prohibit th e plaS Ing of cards for fun" in house where I.suOr $ sold. Pool games where drinks o. cigars are at stake also come under the law, although the law does not include owners of pool halls where the game is played for pleasure alone.
 In most of the saloons where the slot machines were not instantly taken from the bar they were draped in black and turned to the wall By far the majority were removed at once.
 The law, while very stringent, does not snclde the ancient game q mum bly-peg norj the pleasant pastime of pitching quoits. and it is expected that the real sports of the city will now turn to these for amusement In dull moments.

Making the Best of Life.

Thrift Is not at all synonymous with miserliness. Thrift Is industry. utiliz- ing the present to care for the future. The miser saves his money. bUt wastes his life.

DEATH CLAIMS
MARGUERITE LANE

Last Monday morning at 4
O'Clock occurred the death of
Marguerite, the one year old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Joe
Lane. Death was caused by
cholera infantum, which disease
the little child had been suffering
with for some time. Funeral
services were held Tuesday morn
ing at 10 o'clock at the church,
Rev. John Oliver officiating, after
which the remains We're laid to
rest in the |. 0. 0. F. cemetary.
The sympathy Of the entire
community is extended to the
bereaved parents in this, their
hour CT bereavement.

calls for the building to be finish
ed by Jan. 1st 1910 so that dur
ing the holiday vacation the
change from the old to the new
building may be made. When
finished this new school building
will rank among the best in the
smaller towns in the country.
Last year the enrolment list
reached the 100 mark and this
years enrolment is expected to
pass that mark. The extra
teacher and extra grade was a
much needed addition to our
schools and the year 19O9-1O will
no doubt show better results
along educational lines than any
previous year since the establish
ment of this district.

NEW MAIL
SERVICE MONDAY

Official information was receiv-
ed by Postmaster J. E. Wilson
this week that commencing Mon
day Sept. 9th the Miles-Ekalaka
mail line would be discontinued
and the new Ismay line would
then commence. Gordon Taylor
of Ismay has been awarded the
contract for $1,000 per annum
and the contract holds until June
so, 1910.
The first mail over this line
will arrive at 800 o'clock p. m.
on Monday next after which time
regular hree-times-a-week trips
will be made, the mail arriving
on Mondays, Wednesdays and
Fridays and leaves on Tuesdays
Thursdays and Saturdays.
With the mail not due to arrive
here until 800 o'clock p. m., an
other uncalled for hardship is to
be worked upon the 600 patrons
of this office. Instead of receiv-
ing our mail on the evening of
it's arrival we must wait until
the next morning. At present
it takes the two clerks in this
post-office between one and two
hours to distribute our mail and
as this office closes at 900 o'clock
the mail will not be distributed
until the next morning. This
plan makes it very inconvenient
for all as answers to letters, etc.
must be held here two days
awaiting the next mail. If it
were possible for US to receive
our mail on the evening Of arri-
val it would save us time and ex-
pense. To receive our mail from
a point nearly 50 miles nearer
than before and receive poorer
service may sound "fshy" to
the government official but yet
it will be fact. During the
winter months when the roads
are bad, there is no telling of
when the mail will arrive.
When the thrice-a-Week Baker
route was petitioned fer, a bid
Of $500 was rejected as being
too high and now the govern
ment establishes a route at the
cost of $1,000 than makes mail
service worse for the patrons of
this office. 1t seems that our 600
post-office patrons should have a
little to say in regards to their
mail service and that the govern
ment would work for their inter-
est instead of the Ear!ingburt
Nero. Co. and others at Ismay.

AT WORK ON NEW
SCHOOL BUILDING

was first planned about fifteen
ago for Ekalaka is now
in the course of construction. At
the school election held in 1908
the voters of this district voted
to issue $8,OCOin school bonds for
the erection of a new school
house and for unknown reasons
the work of desposing Of the
bonds, etc. was not accomplished
until a short time ago when the
new school board set to work to
secure better quarters for the
school children of this district.
AS result Of their work Con-
tractor Ole Kortfelt Of Miles
City and crew Of workmen COM
menced work on Ekalaka's new
school house this week. Mr..
Kortfelt came down from Miles
Tuesday evening where he was
looking up material for the new
building which will arrive in a
short time.
Ekalaka's new school house
when completed will be struc-
ture that the people Of this dis
trict may be proud of. The plans
now on file with the school clerk
If carried out, will make a school
building that will be a credit to
the town and will give plenty of
room for the teachers and the
school children who will be
obliged to occupy it. The lack
of room for the past two years
brought about the necessity OF
erecting this new building and
after it's completion the room
question will be solved.
The new school building is to
be two stories high with a 60 fl.
front and a basement. Twelve
windows in the front and rear
and eight on each side. The
basement will be 22 "A and
will consist of a cement floor
boiler room for the heating plant
and a fuel room.
The first floor will consist of
two % As class rooms with a
IL foot hall between. In this
hall will be located the cloak
roams and the stairWays up to
the second floor and down to the
boiler room. A vestibule 5 X 20
will be located at the front en-
trance and one 5 X 13 at the rear
which will give the children
ample room to enter and depart
from the building and avoid the
crowding so noticeable in the past.
The second floor will be about
the same as the first with only a
few minor changes. This floor
will also have two % X As class
rooms and a IL foot hall. At the
rear of the hall will be located
room IL X II to be used as q
teachers room. Two cloak rooms
will occupy the center Of the hall
and the stairway at the front
end of the hall. A fire escape
will be put at the rear of the
building for use in case of fire
on this floor. Four radiators in
each room and several in the
halls will solve tbs heating ques.
ton of the building. The new
building is being erected just
south of the present building.

persons from all parts of the west

cisco, eight balloons having been en-
tered already Captain Van Tassel
one of the most experienced balloon
lists in the world. and Roy Knaben-

fad of the new pursuit, have promised
to enter their big balloons
Invitations have been sent to all the

more entries are expected.
Many more plans are under way to
make the Portola festival an event of
world wide wonder and Importance
Charles c. Moore and Robert A. Roos
two of the Portela commissioners, have
created great deal of interest IN the
east by their work there, and many
dwellers from the Atlantic seaboard to
the Pacific coast have been aroused to
sense of curiosity, as well as deepest
sympathy by realization of the fact
that the invitation comes from city
which consisted principally of ashes
three years ago.
President Taft has promised to come
west and warships from all parts OF
the world are expected to come
through the Golden gate during the
week and gather in an imposing array
in the bay.
The executive committee of the fes-
tival is planning new features as well
as carrying out arrangements already
made with a surprising perfection OF

AUBURY QUESTIONS
YARDS LAND TITLE
Timber Locations in Guise of
Mineral Claims Declared
Fraudulent by Officials
Statement Made in Reference
to Reputed Sale to Mercan-
tile Trust Company

I'm view OF the fact that the govern
ment has declared the timber locations
of H. H. Yard in Butte county fraud
ulent, l do not see how the buyers can
obtain title to those lands" said Lewis
E. Aubury yesterday in speaking Of the
reported sale several days ago of
Yards timber holdings in Butte county
TO the Mercantile trust company of this
city for $3.50 900. Auburys statement
was made on account of several com
plants he had received from miners
regarding the patenting of mining
claims in national forests.
Aubury said that many complaints
had been received from miners, and
that the American mining congress ap-
pointed a committee to Investigate the
matter. At conference with Secre
tary Garfield. Clifford Pinchot and Land
Commissioner bennett, AubuFy COM
planned that in most cases the special
forest agents were not qualified to pass
upon the land alleged to contain min
erals, and upon his showing Secretary
Garfield appointed a corps of practical
miners to take charge of that work.
In order TO prevent unscrupulous par.
ties from acquiring timber land under
the guise of mineral land, the forest
service has been compelled to regard
with suspicion the loction Of mining
claims in the national forests. This at
titude was due primarily TO the loca-
tion by Yard and associates Of 265.000
acres of timber land as placer mines
in Butte and Plumas counties. Au-
bury exposed the scheme at the time
the locations We're made. and through
his efforts they were shown to be
fraudulent and cancelled
Now, said Aubury yesterday, "a
dispatch from Oroville, under date OF
June 10. says that Yard has sold his
timber holdings in Butte county to the
Mercantile trust company for s1S0.000.
and that she understanding here is that
these lands are to be transferred to
new lumber company, which may enter
into traffic arrangements with the
Truckee lumber cmpany. The locations
have been declared fraudulent by the
government. and l do not see how the
buyers can obtain title to these
lands"
