There is one thing sure we must have a water system, before we can offer much to the new corners. We have everything to make Holbrook the best place in Northern Arizona and why should we sit back and growl and grumble because things are going to suit some one or some other party will per haps be benefited. Welcome new capital and extend to them the courtesy which they are en- titled.
 Other western towns are send ing out liturature trying to get the outsider with his capital and new ideas, why should not Hol- brook organize a Commercial Club and get together, work in Harmony and we will all be sur prised at the outcome. There is plenty of capital in and around dolbrook to make things "hum" and why should this be given to other places for their betterment, 1 when it should be kept at home md aid in the beautifying of our nome town.

Flowers Bill Defeated

After all that has been said and
done by the legislaturet regarding re-
forms in the handling of state lands
the Flowers public domain bill was
defeated by the house by vote OF AZ
to %. The bill was tabled.
Under the Flowers bill there was
plan for a start in demonstration
in Michigan, and the future control
of state tax lands was placed in
charge of a commission With the
defeat Of that bill practically all
hope is lost of legislation along this
line.
Since early in the year the legis-
lature has devoted much attention
to REPRESENTATION and the manner
Of handling state lands, but when
1t came to abandoning the old sys-
tenn the representatives. fell away
from the plan and any further
move practically will have to wait for
two years.
Land Commissioner Russell and
Senators Ming, Kline, Foster, and
Fairbanks returned from a visit to the
state forestry reserve in Roscommon
and Crawford counties. There are
10000 acres in the reserve, on one end
of which a start has been made in
growing trees. Russell says that his
trip convinces him there is nothing up
there worth while, and he believes
that the REPRESENTATION project is a
failure.

Let jackson Out Of Jury Expense.

Senator l.. Whitney Watkins bill,
designed primarily to exempt, Jack
son county from the cost of the Arm
strong grand jury investigation and
amending the existing law to provide
that the state shall bear all expenses
of investigation and trial in case Of
malfeasance of office on the part OF
any state officer or employee, passed
the senate committee of the whole;
was placed on its immediate passage
and went through without dissent
ing vote. This is a measure of more
than ordinary interest in Ingham
county. For years Ingham has borne
the expense of trials of persons who
violated their trust in state Office, and
every effort before to put through a
bill amending the law to make the
state at large bear such expense was
met with stubborn resistance.

THE BANNER
CULTIVATE LAUGHTER.

Learn to laugh. A good laugh is
better than medicine. Learn how to
tell a story A welltold story is as
welcome as a sunbeam in sick-room.
Learn to keep your own troubles to
yourself. The world is too busy to care
for your ills and sorrows. Learn to
stop croaking. II you cannot learn to
see any good in the world, keep the
bad to yourself. Learn to hide your
pains and aches under pleasant
smile. No one cares to hear whether
you have the earache, headache or
rheumatism. Don't cry. Tears do well
enough in novels, but they are out OF
place in real life. Learn TO meet your
friends with a smile. The good-hu-
mored man or woman is always well
come, but the dyspeptic or hypochon-
driac is not wanted anywhere, and he
is nuisance as well.

LIGHT BOOZE
Do You Drink Il?

A minister's wife had quite a tussle
with coffee and her experience is in
teresting. She says:

ing as a nurse, while on night duty.

tween midnight and four in the morn
ing, when the patients were asleep,
there was little TO do except make the
rounds, and 1t was quite natural that
| should want a good, hot cup of cot
fee about that time. II stimulated me
and l could keep awake better.
After three or four years of coffee
drinking I became a nervous wreck
and thought that I simply could not
live without my coffee All this time
| was subject to frequent bilious at
tacks, sometimes so severe as to keep
me in bed for several days.
After being married, Husband
begged me to leave off coffee for be
feared that it had already hurt me
almost beyond repair. so resolved to
make an effort to release myself from
the hurtful habit.
II began taking Postum and for a
few days felt the languid, tired feeling
from the lack of the stimulant, but L
liked the taste of Postum and that
answered for the breakfast beverage
all right.
Finally began to feel clearer head

A MYSTERIOUS Girl.

tangible clue seems to have been
secured by the Muskegon officers to
the identity of Hattie Talket, the 49,
year-old girl whose unbroken silence
since she was first found in that city,
unkempt and begging, has baffled all
the attempts of the Muskegon and
Grand Rapids authorities to find her
parents. County Poor Superintendent
Gordon has received an unsigned let
ter mailed from Newaygo inquiring for
the girl, purporting to be from her
parents. The writer states that he
thinks Hattie Is his daughter who ran
away three months ago and asks for a
description Of her. He says that he
saw her picture in a Grand Rapids
paper, evidently having picked up and
old issue. The local authorities are
at loss what to do in case the writer
of the letter proves his parentage. 1t
is plain that Hattie came from an ig-
norant household, while now she is
well looked after by farmers family
at Nunica.

Col. Avery stood Mute.

Col. Stephen II. Avery, former quar-
termaster-general. indicted by the
grand jury for the embezzlement OF
$4,000, was arraigned before Judge
Parkinson in Jackson. waived the
reading of the indictment. stood mute
and was held for trial. bail being fixed
at $4,000. Charles Lewis and j. H.
Mahoney qualified as sureties.
Sheriff Bean arrested Col. Avery
on a sage brush ranch near Wendell,
Lincoln county, Idaho, which he had
purchased. The indictment charges
that Avery embezzled the sum of ST.
800 by collecting money on contract
for a heating plant, which his firm in
stalled in the postoffice. On January
s, 1906, Postmaster Richardson turned
over draft to Avery which he
cashed at local bank, and immediate
ly left the city, leaving creditors in
the lurch. His bondsmen, surety
company, has made good the deficit.
Avery claims he has good defense
on the charge OF embezzlement, but
would make no other statement.

: A man in New York was exonerated
on the charge of having shot and
killed detective on the ground that
the detective had no warrant, had
shown no proof that he was an officer
OF the law in forcing his way into the
mans residence and had been taken
for a burglar. The right of personal
freedom is one which is not always re-
garded by the employees of the law. If
they resort to lawless means in gain
ing their ends they have no rights
beyond those of other lawbreakers and
must stand the consequences Per-
sonal freedom is one of the most i'm
portant rights to be safeguarded by
the law, and it ought TO be respected
by those whom the law intrusts with
the duty of enforcement.

Torrance in that city recently OF
Borngraeber's drama entitled THE

paper says: This play is simple and
pure, with its Paradise setting, and

of the censor should have been poured
out" In the same city the owner Of
a hall refused to let it to Gabrielle
Reuter-, who wished to read there from
her novel, ''The House of Tears" The
same paper says that the German peo-
pie are awakening to the fact that all
things that are written are not worthy

Senate Rips Up Liquor Bill.

Provisions in the Warner Cramton

Liabilities of Employees Bill Killed.

Largely owing to suspicion that the
measure practically restored the dead
ly provisions of the notorious Baillee
limited liability law, the bill of Rep.
resentative Stewart of Grand Rapids,
relating to the liability of employees
was killed in the house.
Speaker Campbell raised the ques.
ton of whether the iniquitious pro
visions of the Baillee bill would not
be again put in force by the bill. He
asked IL the first section of the bill
didn't provide for a change relating
to the measure of damages for in,
juries resulting in death. Stewart
examined the bill, and expressed the
belief that such was not the case.
But the house was all suspicion at
the mere mention of the Baillee act,
and voted to concur in the striking
out, 40 to 3S.

Journal clerk in the house, declares he

comes up which he regards as being
vital to his constituents he will ignore
the warnings of Campbell and will

In interviews the Detroit represen-

his colleagues embarrassment and left

viii Print Report at once.

Representative Robert Ogg of De-
troit, member of the special commit
tee on prison investigation which was
responsible for the sensational report
relating to the conditions in the Mar
quette prison, stirred up some trouble
for the state printer when the an
nouncement was made that the report
would be delayed
Ogg objected strenuously to the de-
lay. which he said was meant to de-
stroy the purpose Of the report. Rep
resentative John Perry took a hand
in the objection.
The speaker called Representative
Perry's attention to the fact that he
is acting chairman OF the committee
on printing and he might be able to
hurry up the printer or accomplish
something where the chair had failed.
Representative Perry and the print
ing committee visited the state print
err, and were somewhat surprised to
learn that he was prepared to get out
the report, or any other printing. with
in any reasonable time demanded
The committee is highly indignant
that an attempt should have been
made, through a statement that the
printer is unable to get out the re-
port before next week, to smother the
report and keep 1t from the attention
and consideration of the public.
When the committee returned to
the house after its visit to the state
printer, it announced that the report
would be printed and ready if IL
was so decided. and Perry's motion to
have it printed in the journal was car
ried. He rose TO explain the matter,
but was shut off in the hurry to gel
the motion through.

NIT Roosevelt lost his way from his
fathers camp near Machakos, on Fri
day, the 9TH, and spent an entire night

Mr.. Mcmillan, Mr.. Roosevelt and his
son will come to Nairobi.
The region in which Kermit Roose-
welt is reported to have been lost lies
between the Athi river and the Uga--
da railway. Kin, where he finally
found himself, is about so miles be-
low Nairobi, and 80 or 40 miles south
east of Machakos.
There is an old cart road from
Machakos to Kin, but otherwise the
country and the region Whereabouts is
very sparsely inhabited by natives OF

DAMAGE WAS
WIDESPREAD
FOWlERvILLE THE CENTER OF
SATURDAYS FIERCE
STORM.
WRECK OF BUILDINGS
One Death and Many Injuries Make
Up the Sad Record Aside From the
Property Loss.

Fowlerville and surrounding country
for a radius of two miles is strewn
with wreckage, with probably 20 fam
lilies homeless. The damage wrought
by Saturday afternoon cyclone will
reach upwards OF 100000. Townspeo-
pie did not realize the severity OF the
windstorm until Sunday, and then
everyone whose home had been spared
turned out TO assist the unfortunate
ones in gathering up their property
Not until long after the cyclone had
passed over did many of the residents
leave their homes and places OF en-
ployment. Many were frightened
stone stiff and, in some instances, peo-
pie were even afraid to venture into
the open after the rainbow had made
its appearance, giving assurance that
the storm had ended. They were
timid even until Sunday. many fearing
that the tornado-like windstorm would
return to wreck their homes and, per-
haps, send them to eternity.
A conservative estimate places the
number of buildings damaged, or de-
molished at $50. This may be In
creased when all districts are heard
from. Dwellings were unroofed, barns
and outbuildings demolished orchards
uprooted and boards and trees carried
for several rods in the air. The houses
and store buildings clustered in town
escaped serious damage, although they
were not left untouched. Many avn
ings, chimneys, verandas and roofs
were carried away, narrowly missing
the heads of pedestrians in the cou:se
of their travel.
One known death has resulted from
the storm, that of Mrs. VIM. Ludke,
aged go. who lived about four miles
from here. When the storm broke
her house was damaged and she was
so frightened, according to her hus-
band, that she went into Mysteries and
tainted on the kitchen floor, dying
shortly afterwards. Four persons are
known to have been hurt, and ii is be-
lieved there were other cases of in
juries not yet reported.
