TO go to parties In seasons past the
parties for three weeks before her
wedding, sometimes attending two and
three parties a day.
One of last winters brides collapsed,
a day or two before the wedding. The
death of a young woman who carried
a torch at a fashionable wedding a few
years ago, was the tragic climax of the
series of gaietles in which, as a member
of the bridal party, she had partici-
pated. So many parties and all so SIM
liar are given for the prospective bride
who submits to this sort of martyrdom
at the hands of her loving friends that
the members of the bridal party get so
they can't look a Cupid in the face and
gag at the sight of party eats. If you
want to make good with a bridesmaid
don't feed her oyster patties, and fruit

plain boiled potatoes. The very young
maids will. of course, revive the old
foohshness, when their turn comes, but

BURIED FOUR YEARS
 ansa. asa ALONG THE c|B|cU
Mir. BennefieId, After Twenty Years Returns From the Indian
 Service.

fe w IF H ,Bennefield, who has been in the Indian service for the last twenty years, has abandoned 1t at last. and he arrived in town yester- day with Mrs. Bennefield. They, will remain here until Sunday morning. when they will leave for their old home in Indiana.
 Mir and Mrs. Bennefield were stationed for four years at Cibicu in the northern part of the White Noun tain reservation. MT. Bennefield said that that was probably the most isolated spot in the United States and the Apaches there are more nearly primitive than anywhere else on the reservations
 He illustrated the isolation of the place by the statement that it took him and his wife just six months to a day to reach it from their home in Indiana and they made no unnecessary stop.
 They left Indiana on February 20, 1905, and when they arrived at Bowie they found the first train that had tried to negotiate the broken bridge dCToSS lilc trlld III WtthS trainmen gave out the comforting in formation that the bridge had beef patched up and they were going to try it. Arriving at the bridge in mid night darkness, they could hear the roaring of the water booming over the constant downpour of rain. After an interminable wait Mir. Bennefield saw someone passing the window of the car with a lantern. A brakeman in reply to an inquiry regarding this demonstration of fireworks said that they had lost the headlight and a man was bringing a lantern from MeXi- can house. There was another wait. while a trainman was crossing the bridge to see if it would fall under his weight. In that event, the train would not be sent across The bridge stood the strain imposed upon it by the man and little later miraculously bore up the train.
 MT. Benncfield had been directed to stop at Rice, whence he should make his journey. to Fort Apache by stage. As he was getting off the train at Rice in drenching rain. he remarked to the brakeman, T suppose we can find good hotel accommodations here?" The brakeman replied with a mirthless laugh. Hotel. hell; there's a water tank and an open platform. There's a trader somewhere around here in the brush and an Indian school off some distance. but you cant get to it. for the arrGyas are filled with water
 The train slunk away in the dark ness and left MT. and Mrs. Bennefield in the deluge. They later found the trader in the brush and also found a place to sleep. in spite of the fact
Arizona republican., 1909-10-09

that the trader had wife and ten children and was at the same time the unenthusiastic host of his father and mother-inlaw. He acted toward the Bennefields as if he was mad at
 them and all the world.
 The next morning Mir. Bennefield asked him when he thought be could get to Fort Apache. The trader re- piled, You'll be lucky if you get there before the Fourth of July Do you see old Baldy?" pointing to snow capped peak: there will be no cross- ing of the Black and White rivers as long as there's any snow on Old Baldy It was July 12 when MT. and Mrs. Bennefield reached Fort Apache and in the latter part of August they arrived at their reservation, They were entertained by Superintendent c. w Grouse of the White river agency while they were waiting for the mountain torrents to run away
 At last they arrived at Cibicu where a few years before a captain and twenty-three soldiers had been murdered by Apaches. Captain Kelly of San Carlos had tried to dissuade Mir. Bennefield from going there at all Arriving there they took charge of
 school where one of the pupils had
 never heard the English language but with the aid of a good interpreter
 they established order and set many
 youthful Apache on the road to the
 greater Indian schools of Phoenix and
 Carlisle. They taught the Indians of
 Cibicu and the smaller adjacent val
 leys something of agriculture. and
 when they came away the Indians
 manifested as much regret as an
 Apache could be expected to show.
 Mir. Bennefield tried to resign a year
 ago. but Commissioner Leupp per
 suaded him to stay until he could find
 successor. One was sent there last
 spring and then Mir. Bennefield was
 induced to go to Mcdowell for a few
 months. He is an old civil war vet
 eran. the first commander of the
 Grand Army post at Anderson, Ind. .

BRING ON YOUR BOYS AND PONIES
The Different Wards Will Fight It O.
 in a Pony Race.

And now you sports and sporting ] men of Phoenix, here is something to
 test your blood and see just what kind l of men you are. All Gaul was divided | into three parts. and Phoenix has four | wards. Now, if a group of men of the first ward make the statement that
 they have pony and a boy to ride
 him that can make the other three
 wards look silly. what are the other three wards going to do about it? If the sourth ward sports say they have pony under 14. 2 and a lad that can ride circles around the best that the first. second and third can dig up; that to speak of them in the same breath as being at all in the real class. is the driveling of idiots what are the other wards going to do about that?
 Are you all z i-S to sit and be sheered at, CT are you going to stir yourselves a bit and see if you can pull something out of your own back yard and teach the rest a lesson that they won't forget?
 Not only show them, but the entire territory of Arizona. which is the real ward of this city when it comes to a hustle. And what is more, show them when the gran dstand is full to the limit at the fair grounds
 Superintendent Joseph Wheelock stands ready to offer prize for this. and blue flag that can be flouted in the faces of the rest of the town until' next year, when it can be all fought over again. After that race. if Femme or Mesa think that they would like to snow what they can do against us. let them come! Arrangements will be made to give them all they want. The biggest days will be selected for these ana we will see that everyone turns out to cheer for their own ward and horse and rider. Now. show what pride you have in your own.
 Send in the names of pony and boy. and whoever wants to take charge can see Superintendent Wheelock at any time and fix all the details.
 Also. don't let the kiddies forget that there are tickets and money prizes for the burro races that will be held every day. The sooner they get their fiery steeds in condition the better.

FILIPINO AND INDIAN
 LAND IN CITY JAIL
One Supplied the Cash and the Other
 Bought the Liquor.

After an exciting chase in the mid dle of the night on North Third av- enue, Officer Sullivan of the police force captured tw, of Uncle Sans wards If different nationalities. Che was a Filipino youtl, named .Gudge Games and the other Jose Juan. an Indian who is employed at the Phil lips house on North Fourth avenue.
 Games has been in America about IS months and was not aware, so ne says, of the dire penalty attached to the simple act of buying whisky for friendly Indian. The TWO met quite by accident Thursday night It was fortunate encounter. they thought. for both were thirsty. The Filipino had no money but he knew he had a perfect right to buy all the liquor he could carry The Indian offered to supply the cash and they went to his room on Fourth avenue.
 They were wandering about in the residence section, each flourishing a bottle and making all the noise he could. when Sullivan appeared. The Filipino. who does not look to have reached his majority, was so scared that he promised to remain quiet; but Juan started on a little Marathon down Third avenue
 Sullivan's record for the hundred yards is ten seconds. Whether he broke it or not is not known as there were no timers present. The Indian gave up before block was past and said when he saw Sullivan: If I had known it was you I would not have run at all"
 The Filipino was taken in charge by Deputy U. s. Marshal Anderson and placed in the county jail.

ured bushel, or enough to more than
make up for all dockages. BY the
way, we fail to understand why the
farmer should be locked on his wheat
because it has flax in it. The flax is
the more valuable commodity and the
cost of separating it from the wheat,
about one-half cent per bushel would
not appear to be good basis for
dock. People who find pearls In their
oysters do not usually withhold any
portion of the restaurant mans pay,
but pocket their find without a MUIR
muir.
LAS an example of the vastness OF
the territory from which Beach
draws we will mention one instance,
more for the benefit of outsiders than
our own people. One farmer was
here bright and early Tuesday morn
ing with load of wheat, SO bushels,
which he hauled thirty-two miles.
81. r. Smith, who has ten binders,
drawn by two traction engines, work
ing in his flax field few miles south
of town, is assembling a train Of
eight huge new wagons and tomorrow
or next day will be transporting his
immense crop of fax into Beach, u.s.
ing Hart-Parr engines for the motive
power and bringing one thousand
bushels, or one days threshing, at
load. That will indeed be great
sight and will be about the last word
in the revolutionizing Of agricultural
methods"

CUTTING UP OF THE COW COUNTRY
The Passing Of the Cateman Makes the Opportunity OF
The Farmer in the Trans. Missouri Country

, the passing of the era Of the big cat
tlemen.
Now that the COW has disappeared
from the scheme of things; where the
ranch houses Of the cattle barons
stood, creameries have been reared
and the country is fortified in its
capacity for crop raising by the re-
turns from the dairies. And the cow
is thus holding her own even in
country where 40 bushels of oats,
80 bushels of wheat and rs bushels
of fax to the acre has been frequent
ly recorded this fall AS to the var
iety of the agricultural possibilities
Of this rich region it is worth while
noting the fact that a colony Of Hol-
landers settled upon one of the cut-up
ranches, are raising this year magni-
ficent crops of caraway seed-prob-
ably the only extensive crop of this
sort attempted in the United States.
The want of moisture that twenty
years ago made this region a cattle
country, no longer obtains. There is
a plentiful and certain rainfall,
brought about in some measure by
changing climatic conditions, and
probably in larger degree by the
breaking up of the country. The eli
mate is ideal for the north temperate
zone, the conditions being a modif-
cation of the climate of eastern Da-
kota and Minnesota. There are more
sunny days in this country than in
any other tillable section of the Unit
ed States and the winters have not
the same rigor as is indicated in the
country remote from the valley of
the Missouri.
Here then, is the opportunity for
teh practical man who is seeking for
home, where the original investment
is small and the possibilities for the
future to be measured only by the
experiences of the past.
It is not necessary to settle on
location remote fro mrailroads or
markets-and there is a greater de-
gree of activity in railroad building
in this section of Dakota just now
than anywhere else on the continent.
The cowman has gone, but the COW
is just coming into her own on farms
that yield rich treasures from soil
that has demonstrated it's rich quality

1t is but yetseday that the country
west of the Missouri river was blank
so far as the farmer was concerned
Affording fine pasturage to great
herds of cattle it was held in vast
tracts by ranchmen, who were appar
emily convinced that the country they
ranged their cattle in was safe from
the incursion of the farmers which
had broken up the ebig ranges in
other parts of the country. The lush
grasses afforded the finest grazing
ground in the country and it was the
practice of the cattlement to ship
steers up from Texas-or in the old
days to trail them up-drive them
west to these fine pastures and make
them ready for market in the fall.
They got fancy prices for these grass
fed animals and they made much mon
ey.
But the changing conditions in the
country compelling the attention OF
people to the fact. that the land used
for pasturage would be more service
able to mankind If cut up in smaller
tracts and cultivated, brought the
breaking up of the ranges and that
portion of western North Dakota
which was known as the ''cow coun-
try" was suit up and brought into the
market at prices that were attractive
to the homeseeker. It would be un-
profitable to speculate on the num-
Der of people that have gone into
this country but the astounding sue
cess they have attained in farming in
this country, ten acres of which had
been devoted to raising single steer,
is particularly manifest just now.
1t is not to be doubted that there
has been more farm machinery sold
in what was the cow country this
year than in any similar territory in
the world. At the town Of Beach 120
steam pillow outfits were at work at
on time in the spring and single
implement house sold 176 self-binders
this fall. At the town Of Mott-not
yet entered by the railroad-more
than two hundred binders were sold.
Beach,, in the very heart of the new
country, is the greatest primary wheat
market in the world today. And that
fact indicates as nothing else could,

time that this is only small spot in
what until a few years ago was con-
sidered unfit for agriculture and lands
had no money value whatever-could
not be sold for rs cents an acre up to
ten years ago:
From early morning until late at
night the heavily laden wagons are
filing into town and awaiting their
turn to unload at the elevators, which
run until far into the night Every
farmer one meets wears a broad grin
of satisfaction, for this years crops
have exceeded by far the fondest ex
pectations, and the golden gain Of the
great Golden Valley is bringing

"Without any reasonable doubt
Beach will this year achieve the hon
or of being the largest primary re-
ceiving station for grain in the Unit
ed States-and that Is going a few.
BY "primary' is understood, of course,
the first exchange-the buying of the
crop from the producer. This honor
has never before been held this far
west, and will have largely to do with
fixing the position of Beach on the
map of this bread land and cause the
residents of the so-called grain belts
to sit up and take notice. This is not
wind nor theory-it is an actual con-
dition, but it lacks a lot Of being de-
plorable.
1.-THE grain of the Golden Valley
is just beginning to move, and judg-
ing from the warehouses receipts so
far, We are warranted in the claim
that nearly, if not quite, two millions
of bushels of wheat barley, flax and
oats will be paid for in Beach this
season. This, by the way, includes
the receipts of the two elevators at
Chama, the checks of which are paid
here.
Last year 100000 bushels of grain
were taken in here. So far this sea-
son (and as we have stat ID, the move
ment has merely commenced), the ell
evators here-the Thorpe, Minnesota
& Western, Farmers, Lyle, Golden
Valley and Chama-heve received
1877, 900 bushels of the four grains. AS
yet, but little oats is being brought in,
the farmers holding off for better
prices, storing the crop every way
that they can, many of them using
their houses for granaries. Mr.. E..
D. Logan, who owns farm six miles
north of town, has already stored T.
900 bushels of oats, and the farmers
are pursuing the same tactics.

years ago-when the west Missouri
Countrywide region west of Bismarck
was not considered as an agrlcul-
tural region 1t was the home OF the
large ranchman and the cattle and

of Bismarck is developing so rapidly
the stories of the thresher and the
record of the "husking bees" so re-
markable one can hardly compre-
fend the situation.
A few years ago the little town OF
Eureka, South Dakota, was the larg-
est primary wheat market in the
United States.
Now the town Of Beach $50 miles
west of Bismarck has that distinction.

what the opportunities for the home
seeker are on the Missouri Slope let
the person who comes to Bismarck

from the Beach Chronicle of October
