If a man wi,i not work he shall not eat is a mandate as old as the race itself. But there is another fundamental sense in which the maxim, that the world owes every man a living is pro foundly true. 1t owes every man a fair chance to earn a decent living. And that is all that any self respecting man asks or wants.-Boston Post.

HARVEY DAIRY FARM
 MAY BE AT DEL RIO
Big Project Under Way-Lease From City Required-30O Fine Cows To
 Be Placed There.

Getting down to the bedrock of the proposition, in what is contem- plated if the land is taken over, Mir Robertson says that about three hun dred acres of the soil will be eul- tivated the first year in a grain hay crop, this quality of the feed later to be gradually superseded by af falfa. Three hundred graded HOl- stein cows will be placed on pas ture, and from this source will the Harvey system be supplied for a line of railway eating houses and din ing cars traversing 400 miles. He estimates an immediate outlay of from s25,OOO to $4O,OOO in buildings and other improvements At least twen- ty-fve men will be employed stead fly The buildings are to be con structed with a regard to permaneney and durability, and maintained on the strictest sanitary lines.
 MT. Robertson will return to his home at Kansas City in a few days and make his official report, as in dieated.
 MT. Robertson said that this prop osition was originally laid before MT. Harvey by F. NJ. Murphy, the presi- dent of the Santa Fe, Prescott 6 Phoenix railway, and that gentleman should be given the credit for his keen foresight in developing an ex- eellent business investment that otherwise might have been over looked.

PHOENIX TO ENTER IN SEVERAL
 EVENTS
Automobile Race Will Be Feature of The
 Celebration
(From Tuesdays Daily

With each succeeding day, the prospect that the Labor Day eele- bration will be an extraordinary sue cess. continues to increase. Harry Harter. chairman of the baseball committee, yesterday received word from Phoenix that that city will send up one of the fastest teams that ever visited Prescott. He was also in formed that Phoenix will have an en- try in the Marathon race, and also representative in the 100-yard dash. Jerome will also have a team in the tournament and it is reported that the aggregation is a fast one.
 Interest continues to increase in the automobile race. Chairman Kohl had four entries yesterday and it is quite certain that there will be three or four more ears in the big event which promises to be one of the sen sational features of the celebration. The distance to be covered will be about four miles, and the course will be down Monte1uma to Willis, then to Cortez and thence west either on Goodwin or Carleton street. The se- lection to be made later.
 The executive committee met last night and arranged for financing the affair. The business section was di- vided into districts and each was assigned to two members to canvass. This plan distributes the work equally among the sixteen committeeman, and has the advantage of having the canvass completed quickly, without requiring an undue portion of the time of the business men who are assigned to that duty.

HOME SITE |S PRACTICALLY
 DETERMINED
Donation of F.M. Murphy
 Likely to Be Accepted
CFrom Tuesday's Dailyl

At the meeting of the Board of Control of Arizona. held at Phoe- nix, last Saturday, the question of the selection of a site for the Pic neer home came up for incidental discussion. No official action was taken. The matter will be eOnsid- cred later. and Governor Sloan, who returned Sunday to Prescott, said yes terday that the final selection of the site will be determined when the ap- portionment of territorial monies is made for the various public insti- tutions, early this month.
 In view of certain contingencies, and but one place having been dO- mated, that of F. M Murphy, it is practically a settled fact that this one will be officially decided upon. The various places submitted by this city were considered by the board, and all being subject to objections of a specific character, the original ground donated by MT. Murphy will probably be endorsed at the next meeting.
 This site has but one objectionable feature. that of its exposed position during indictment weather, This, Gov ernor Sloan believes, will not ma terially interfere with the project, if the construction of the building is along defensive lines. This necessity will probably be outlined in the call for plans for the building made af- ter the appOrtionment is ready and when the bids are advertised for.
 Governor Sloan is a stalwart ad- vocate of the creation of a building for our pioneers, and. as he puts it, the sooner it is underway and the earlier it goes into commission, the better it will be for the benefeiaries. The territory should recognize the worth of the men who blazed the way and made Arizona the delight ful spot it has become in later and more "civilized" day.

MORNING WEDDING AT q. MICHAEL
 HOTEL
Wickenburg Romance Culmlnates in a Pres
 colt Ceremony
,From Tuesdays pailyl

Cupid, that much maIigned, much petted and frequently eourted little god of things as they ought to be, has been very busy young man of late and one of the results of his eseapades was a pretty, if informal wedding ceremony which occurred yesterday morning in the parlors of the Hotel St. Michael, and which united the lives of two popular young folks of Wickenburg, Houston Carl Sprunger, financial accountant, and Dorothy Margaret Jones, cashier in her fathers mercantile house.
 The marriage was the eulmination of short romance, the chief actors stealing a march on their Wicker burg friends and escaping, at least temporarily, the old shoeing and other historic stunts which usually accompany affairs of this character.
 In the presence of a number of Prescott friends, Rev. Wheatley of the Methodist church tightly tied the knot, the ring service being used. An added interest was given to the event by the fact that it was the 18th birthday of the bride.
 MT. Sprunger is well and favorably known to all in Wiekenburg, while his fair bride is likewise endeared to a large circle of friends and acquaint- ances. None of the immediate rela- tives of the contracting parties were present, Mir. Jones being detained by his business, as manager of the Bray ton Commercial company at Wieken- burg, while Mrs Jones was absent in California Mir and Mrs. Springer will return to Wickenburg in a few days. where there are many to wei come them and to wish them every joy, present and future.

Judge Dunbar has valuable mining interests adjacent to Vicksburg, which he has been op- erating for some months, and be lieves that there is no better mining section than that country. In 1880 he was miner on Big Bug, and worked i'll the Poland mine, recall ing that property from the fact of it being at the present time a heavy gold producer. In few weeks he will again go to Vicks- burg. and intends to remain over in this city to renew aequaintanees of the Hassayampa period.

Princess Skating Rink q Fa-
vorite with Spokane.
- AS a. demonstration of this
city's appreciation of a clean,
high-class sport and amusement,
ones attention is turned toward
the Princess roller skating rink.
The rink opened last Wednes-
day with over 1000 skaters. The
many improvements, high-class
management and courteous at
tention won public favor imme-
diately, and the big pavilion has
been thronged with happy peo-
pie at all sessions since. The
rink is favorite with students,
and after studies are over for
the afternoon the happy crowds
gather at the rink and with
laughter and fancy capers fairly
fly over the mammoth floor.
Although skating Kinks have
been running in this city for
four years, dozen of new begin
ners are being graduated at ev-
cry session. Skating brings ev-
cry muscle of the body into use,
and is recognized by physicians
as most beneficial exercise.
Too much praise cannot be
given to Professor Reamer, and
under his able management ev-
cry number receives a hearty
encore. The rink Is open every
morning, afternoon and evening,
and music is furnished at all
times.

girls are certainly the prettiest az
gregation of young ladies seen back
of the footlights this season. Har.
ris and Robinson, who wrote the
great song success Montana" are
in the company and add greatly to
its excellence. Especially good is
the work of Will J. Harris as 1zzy
Hockolowitz, and his song with
the chorus joining him, 'Izzy the
Molasses Kid" is the hit of the
offering. Along with the act Of
the Bunch of Kids" and sharing
the honors equally comes the won
derful acrobatic number presented
by Ernest Panther and company.
This act offers some of the most
sensational and at the same time
the most artistic acrobatic work
seen here for some time. There
are four in the company, and each
is decidedly clever, but the honors
fall principally to the smallest
member of the company, who is
wonderful in the acrobatic line.
