GLOBE BARS PICTURES
Pictures of the Jeffries-Johnson

Pictures of the recent Jeffries-
Johnson fight at Reno will not be
exhibited in Globe. At a session of
the council, held last Friday night,
July 22d, the city fathers, acting
upon a protest filed by the church
people of Globe and backed up by
other interested persons, instructed
the city attorney to draft an ordi-
nance prohibiting the exhibition of
those pictures. An ordinance COW
ering this point will be adopted as
soon as it can be put through, judg-
ing from the expressed sentiments
of the councilmen.

FOREST AREA CHANGED
President Signs Proclamation
to Alter Arizona and New
Mexico Forests

WASHINGTON. d. c., July %
The President has signed a procla-
nation adding 30,56O acres to, and
at the same time eliminating 57,2S7
acres from the Chiricahua National
Forest, Arizona and New Mexico.
These changes are the result of a
careful examination made by the
Secretary of Agriculture last sum-
mer, which showed that the areas
excluded are not needed for forest
or watershed protection.
The most important of these
changes is the elimination of large
area, consisting for the most part
of grass land, on the southern and
eastern boundaries of the New Mex
leo division, which was formerly
known as the Peloncillo National
Forest. This will leave Sanders
Pass and the surrounding territory
on the southern slope of the Animas
range entirely outside the Forest
lines. Smaller eliminations of non
forest lands are also made from the
Chiricahua and Peloncillo divisions.
The additions comprise a number
of areas of juniper and pinon scat
tered along the exterior boundaries
of the Chiricahua, Peloncillo and
Dragon divisions. The latter di-
vision by the recent proclamations
has been transferred from the Cor
onado to the Chiricahua Forest.
The unappropriated portions of
the lands eliminated by this procla-
nation will be restored to settle
ment and entry after having been
advertised in the local papers by
the Secretary of the Interior.

THE BUREAU OF MINES
Will Investigate Mine Acct
dents, Mine Fuel and
Mine Equipment

The act establishing a Bureau of
Mines in the Department of the
Interior, approved May 16, 1910,
became effective July /. AS origi-
nally approved, the law contem-
plated the transfer of the entir e
Technologic Branch of the United
States Geological Survey, the mine
accident Investigations, fuel investi-
cations, structural materials investi-
cations, the entire personnel, prop
erty and equipment, to the Bureau
of Mines, but the Sundry Civil ap-
preparation act, approved June 25,
amended the law to such an extent
that the structural materials investi-
cations, including the personnel and
equipment for these Investigations,
went to the Bureau of Standards,
Department of Commerce and La
Dor.
Carrying out the spirit and intent
of the law so amended, the Secre-
tary of the Interior has transferred
to the Bureau of Mines the investi-
cation of mine accidents and fuels,
together with the personnel and
equipment of these Investigations,
and has transferred to the Bureau of
Standards the structural materials
Investigations and the employees of
the Technologic Branch of the Sur
vey engaged in these Investigations.
The fully equipped testing station
at Pittsburg also goes to the Bureau
of Mines.
The Bureau of Mines therefore
includes the mine accidents and fuel
Investigations for which an appro-
priation of $4,000 was made by
Congress. The total appropriations
for the Bureau, including salaries,
rent and expenses of removal,
amount TO $502 200.
The work of the Bureau of Mines
for the first year will be a continu-
alton and expansion of the work
carried on by the Technologic
Branch of the Geological Survey
The law in itself provides for q
variety Of other problems that pro-
perly belong to the Bureau of Mines
and which should eventually be un-
dertaken, such as methods of min
ing and metallurgical processes, but
these activities will be deferred for
the most part until Congress gives
additional authorization in the shape
Of adequate appropriations. The
spirit of the debates in Congress,
both on the Bureau of Mines legis'
lation and on the appropriation
items, emphasized the desire to re-
gard the mine accidents investiga
tions as urgent and this will be the
feature Of the work,
In all, $4,000 was appropriated
for mine accident Investigations

GIRL FALLS INTO WELL
Wilcox Girl Unconscious
When Rescued

Wednesday, evening Miss Hazel
Moon met with rather serious in
juries as a result of falling into a
well. Miss Moon had drawn a
bucket of water from the we'll,
which is an open affair and equip
ped with a gasolene engine and
centrifugal pump, and as she
turned to start for the house she
slipped and fell backwards. For
tunately her father was near and
saw her fall. When he rescued her
she was unconscious and when re-
vived complained that it hurt her to
breathe.
1t is believed Miss Moon fell onto
the belt which is attached to the
engine and pump, thus breaking
her fall. Had she fell striking the
curbing and pump in the bottom of
the we'll with nothing to break the
fall, it is more than likely she
would have received more serious
injuries,

Fargo, N. D., Jan. 13-That no evi

in his own behalf, was the startling
announcement made late this after
noon in federal court. All hopes Of
keeping the bank wrecker out of the

argument and plea OF the attorney
before the jury:
After placing the testimony of "a
witnesses on record, the government
this afternoon rested in the case
against Jones charged with the wreck
ing Of the First National bank OF
Rugby, N. D.
1t was then, that legal battle was
started, and guns of defense trained
on indictment. With the jury excused
until Wednesday afternoon Judge Ed
ward Engerud leading counsel for the
defendant, succeeded in Quashing out
five or the first twenty one counts
in the indictment, Argument will be
continued tomorrow morning. The
main contention of the~defense is that
Jones profited nothing by his mani
pulations which were done in the in
terests of the bank.

Farms of the United States, with
their buildings, implements and live
stock, are today worth almost $780,
OOO, 600, OOO This is "A per cent more
than in 1900. No, such increase in
agricultural values was ever before
known in the history Of the world In
any country. The farm product OF the
year just closed was worth almost
four times as much as the product OF
1899. These statements are contained
in a bulletin sent out by the Orange
Judd Farmer telling of the census OF
American agriculture to be published
in it's January number. The figures
compiled show that the number OF
farms has grown from 100000 in
1850 to nearly 100000 in 1909.

Lord, TIP. Kulaas, and r. E. Barron,
Out of the 500 shares of stock in the
bank, 446 were represented.
A report of the business for the
past year was read, which showed
that the year 1909 was the most pros
porous one that the Second National
has yet enjoyed. This is due partly
to the fact that Northwestern North
Dakota is in an unusually excellent
financial condition, and in part on
account of the able manner in which
the officers and employees have con.

institution.
The Second National bank ranks
among the best banks of the state,
and no bank has shown better gain.
The most important thing that was
done at the meeting, without doubt,
was increasing the capital stock OF
the Second National bank from $780,
900 to 100000. This was made pos
sible by the earned surplus of num-

thought might grow it, and on des-

me I had better try it. l Immediately
sent $500 to the man who works my
place to buy little seed with, told
him how to prepare the land and SOW
it as soon as possible. I got aletter
from him dated the 10Th day of June
saying that he had sown the seed
