A cowboy came in from one of the ranches in the east part of the county this week and went broke before he had all the fun that he though was coming to him, and to add to the gay ety of the occasion forged check on Tony Walters, of the Crozier ranch. After spending all the money obtained on the check he confessed that the check was forgery and was taken in charge by the sheriff. MT. Walters was communicated with and came to Kingman to look into the matter. The man is in jail and will have his hear ing in day or two.
 William Craft, the young teamster who was badly injured by being struck by runaway team, about two weeks ago, died at a Los Angeles hospital last Tuesday. An autopsy showed that he was terribly injured internally. The poor fellow made valiant strug- gle for life, but his injuries were too great for medical skill to save him.
 The Pie Festival and bazaar at the M. E. church last evening netted some- thing over 1908, showing that King man must have on one occasion gotton a sufficiency of pie. The funds realized are to be used in paying of the in- debtedness on the furnishing of the parsonage and other small items of debt against the church.
 Rev. G. H. Adams will again preach at the church tomorrow evening at 7:30. All are cordially invited.

In compliance with the petition cir culated in Kingman by Mark Mus grove a week or more ago, the Vest ern Railway of Arizona will put on a six-day-a-week mail train between Kingman and Chloride. This service is to go into effect at once, on the authority of chief mail clerk F. |. Moore. A daily mail over the Chlo- ride branch would be found of great convenience to the people of all the camps up the range and would also in crease the passenger business of the railroad to a considerable extent. Un- der present conditions few people care to go to Chloride by train, as they would have to wait two days before re- turning home. With a daily service everybody would patronize the rail- way.

A sprained ankle will usually disable the injured person for three or four weeks. This is due to lack of proper treatment. When Chamberlain's Liniment is applied a cure may be effected in three or four days. This liniment is one of the best and most remarkable preparations in use. Sold by all dealers.

Constitutional Convulsions.

The dreadful attack of anti-constitu tionitis, with which the Phoenix Dem ocrat has become so sadly afflicted, i: ! not liable to spread far beyond the confines of the Salt River valley, al. though the Democrat threatens to throw the entire territory into the same hysterical spasm. And this disease was brought on by the over- feeding of the Salt River animal in the past. Had the present convention delegated the disbursement of all moneys to residents of the valley and were they clothed with the power to tax each and every piece and parcel of land outside of that saline reserve, and especially the mining interests, there would not be one word of protest nor even visible sign of the development of diseased constitutional frame of mind among the Salt River valley editors. With the Democrat it is Ari- zona for the Salt Valleites; tax the mines and the railroads, but do not let the tax gatherer approach within hail. ing distance of the infant farming in- dustries of Maricopa county. For weeks the paper has been wailing long and loud about the manner in which the mines of the territory were escap- ing the payment of their just burden of taxation and the way in which the mine owners were now directing the framing of the new constitution. But the base of it's attack is tbe ignoring of the claims of Maricopa county to everything in sight, including the gratuituous advice of the Democrat. The fact is that Maricopa county for years has been the recipient of favors from territorial legislatures and has profted largely by the disbursement of all territorial money at that point. Since the establishment of a territorial fair the farmers of the territory have been receiving nice sums of money in the way of prizes handed to them from the treasury of the territory, while not even one look in has been accorded the mining interests. With the fair management in the hands of the Salt River valley people mining has been ignored to the point of exclusion, al- though it was the mining interests that made fair in Arizona possible. It was mining that made life in the Salt River valley possible, and it was mining that made the great southwest. It is mining that furnishes seventy per cent of the carrying trade of the rail roads and steamships; it was mining that gave to the farmers of the coun- try a market and furnished them the means to bring their product to that market; it is mining that has called the attention of the world to Arizona and gave values to the lands of Salt River, and it is mining that will for ever make history for our sunshine state, and no amount of knocking, in- fant paralysis, or other diseases to which the editorial staff of the Salt River valleyites are subject will cause the new state of Arizona one moments delay in the adoption of constitution.

woulp FILL up the WEST.

In this back-to- the soil talk there
recently has been something said for
the difficulties in the way Of turning
farmer for. a man without means. even
for the son of the tolerably well fixed
farmer.
The point receives intelligent con-
sideration at the hands OF corre-
spondent to the Kansas City Star. A
Kansas City, Kan, man wanted to
know how tenant farmer can pay his
rent, help and other expenses and, with
long and short crops. make enough to
enable him to get back to the land
with land from $50 to 800 per acre,
ION as easy terms as those did who
got here first"
The Stars correspondent holds that
that would be no less an injustice than
it is an impossibility. Our ancestors.
he saws. who came to Missouri and
got the land cheap did not sit down in
Pennsylvania and North Carolina and
bewail their fate because they could
not buy the land there as cheaply as
their ances tors had, but hiked out west
and bought Missouri land. underwent
a few Inconvenience and made the
land worth 800 per acre by occupying
it,"
The obvious suggestion then is that
those who find themselves unable to
acquire land in Missouri and Iowa
should hike out west" etc. At first
blush that seems rather curious way
to mend matters where the rural popu-
lation already Is in the decline, but we
are invited to take this view Of it:
I'VE need not be afraid that the pop
ulation will decrease too much in Mis-
souri, New blood will continue to flow
in. Higher priced lands in Iowa and
the east will drive the young farmers
Missouriward; and, dwhile there is
counties now. 1t will not continue if
we drones will stop our grumbling and
press on to help build up the west as
our fathers drove their oxen to and
pitched their tents in the chill-laden
bottoms of far away Missouri. then a
vast wilderness beyond the Father Of
Waters"
Why isn't that sound doctrine?
Things must inevitably take their
course anyway. It seems only a ques-
ton of whether the movement shall be
accelerated and the sooner got thru
with. The mar who leaves US goes
west finds cheap land for him self and
does his part to exhaust the capacity
of the west to absorb our strength and
population. 1t is looking some dis
lance ahead, without doubt, but it may
be as well TO take that view.

POOR DEPENDENCE.

The president said again today that
he did not feel that the present cam
paign in New York state would nave
a dominant effect upon the presl-
dental campaign in 1912, the repub-
lican party having long ago adopted
the principle of giving presidents TWO
terms.-News Report.
II the presidents main reliance on
second term for himself is to be upon
the principle Of two terms long ago
adopted" the sooner he shifts to more
stable ground the better for his pros
poets. An awakened people have been
and are likely to continue rearranging
things. 1t may well be that the Long
ago adopted principle" will be re-
arranged and readopted to the disad-
vantage of the incumbent who relies
on the principle" that an election to
a first term is also a pledge to re-
election.
AS the temper of the country stands
at present President Taft's second term
is far from assured. There has been
deep discomfort and disappointment IN
his administration thus far to many
who believed him the logical successor
to Roosevelt He seems to have lent
his ear to rnisinformation and bad ad-
yisers during the first months OF MS
administration. Many Of his strongest
real friends have been alienated to
greater or lesser degree. The west
has not found him pleasing. The pow
ers of the east are not his true friends
The leaders he favored and the faction
on which he smiled as he listened have
been objects of better popular rebuke.
If the president is depending on pre-
cedent he Is leaning on a broken reed
His only real opportunity of renonin-
alton and reelection remains to be
made. There are still two years and an
earnest man with real desire to serve
all the people could go far to re-estao-
ush himself in that time.

Senator Dolliver was Of q buoyant
disposition. He had experience with
the shadows but 1t was his delight to
be in the play OF gentle atmosphere
warmed by the sun. He was q noble
son, husband, father, brother. He
counted not as sacrifice whatever
measure Of service he could render for
those he loved. In all his relations he
was genial, likeable man. Bitterness
was not born with him. nor could 1t
find root in the generosity Of his dig
position. He had the strength roy
heavy blows, but the tenderness Of hih
heart made quick burial Of enmities. II
there was that in politics that separat-
ed him in any measure from old
friends he suffered as consequence;
and there is that in politics. partakins
Of anger and revenge, that led him
many times to think that life for him
In some other relation would be hap
pier.
Wherever he was known, admired
and loved, there will be all tenderness
Of sympathetic feeling for the stricken
family. The loss in dts close relation

OF the spirit Of his life which II not

SCHOOL RALLY AND CONTEST.

Friday. Oct. Z. was the annual school
rally Of Grant township On that day
there was grand union picnic and
contest between the rural schools OF
the township. Formerly it was held
at the Center school house. but such
intense interest has been shown by
the patrons and children of the schools
that the school board decided this year
tho old the rally at the Amity church
and this year 1t even crowded the
church to the limit The children
showed immense interest in their ex-
hibits. In every class there were a
large number of exhibits. In the corn
class alone there were fifty-two entries.
This, we think, is a larger exhibition
than has been shown by any OF the
county fairs this fall and also 1t will

but his reply was that a younger man
was needed. That younger man is still
needed. Former Congressman Hepburn
and Former Congressman Lacey have

men are too old. Hepburn is an old
man, up in the 70s, and it would be a
trayesty to send snuch a man to tho

Doiiver was a strong man physical
ly as well as intellectually. He pos
sessed commanding presence. His
mind was strong and we'll balanced. In
public debate he was almost without
a peer. AS an orator he was among the
best in the entire country. He was q
student, a worker, and a thinker, and
he thought well and deeply. His mind
was retentive as well as keen and
quick acting, and in repartee or rough
and tumble debating he rarely found
an equal. Those whom he has bested
in this sort Of contest in and out Of
congress are numbered by the score.
He was always put forward by his col
leagues when breakers OF this character
were seen ahead and has always made
