those who, having staked and lost,
refused to abide by the result. If
the county had gone "dry" the
REGISTER would have given its
voice for the elimination of the
saloon for the ensuing four years.

Elmer Newman, of whose singu-
lar, disappearance from his home
in this city on the night of Janu-
airy 21st we made mention in the
last issue of the REGISTER, quietly
walked into his home last Thurs
day evening, after being gone just
six days. Young Newman, it
seems, had not been well for a
couple of weeks prior to his sud-
den departure. He says he was
dispirited and had about made up
his mind that if he didn't improve
soon he would quit his job in the
p~ost-office and visit a cousin in
Arkansas. These thoughts were
in his mind when he retired the
night he disappeared. He laid
down on the bed with his clothes
on and when his brother wakened
him shortly afterwards the thought
of going to Arkansas was in his
mind. Instead of going to bed he
quietly left the house, hardly
knowing what he was doing. In
this dazed condition he started
down the railroad track, walking
all night, and until noon the next
day, when he boarded the south
bound passenger train at Vulcan
Switch, twenty-five miles south
of Ironton. AS he got in the
coach he heard some drummers
say they we're going to Bald Knob,
Arkansas, and he concluded he
would go there, too. He says he
doesn't remember much more
about the trip until that night
when ne arrived at Bald Knob and
got the first nourishment since he
left home. He remained in Bald
Knob all night and then went out
on the Bald Knob branch as far as
Fair Oaks, and then on the Cotton
Belt to Brinkley. Brinkley is
about $50 miles south of Ironton.
When he got in a hotel in that
town the young man says he
seemed to come to himself and
realize what he had really done.
He at once started on the return
trip, but when he reached Bald
Knob he was out offunds and there
pawned his watch for enough
money to pay his railroad fare to
Hogan, where he got off No. 4
Thursday evening and then walked
home, Some two or three days
elapsed in the time the young
man was going from Bald Knob
to Brinkley, probably seventy
five miles, but he is hardly clear
as to his movement those days.
When he reached home he was
suffering with fever and his con-
dition serious. He is much better
now. and it is hoped will suffer no
serious or permanent injury from
his most unusual experience.

and Jehu Jones Of Middlebrook
last week filed with the county
clerk petitions for dramshop
licenses to be acted on at the

there is but one thing for the court
to do-and that is grant license.

Uncovered a Buried Town.


Every once in awhile excavation in
southern Arizona results in the dis
covery of a buried village. The most
recent discovery of this kind was
made by Frank c.. Erwin at his home,
IA miles from Coctise.
Three miles from his ranch Erwin
started to dig an irrigation ditch.
Only a few feet under the surface he
began to uncover utensils of shape
and material which indicated that
, they had been used by a race prob
ably as old as the Cibolas, that
strange people whose Seven Famous
Cities" was the lure that brought
Father Mia and the negro Estevanicio
from the Spanish mission at Culiacan
north, along the Sonora river to the
old city of Tabac, near Tucson,
which expedition was the beginning
of civilization in Arizona.
After digging deeper Erwin came
across wall, which he followed for 20
feet. Further investigation brought to
light hundreds of bones well pre-
served one skeleton being intact.
When an attempt was made to take up
the skeleton 1t fell to pieces. Among
the treasures unearthed was a slab on
which were written curious figures
representing men and birds and ami
mails. Erwin took several of the relics
into Tombstone and will send others
to the Smithsonian institution. :.

WESTERN CANADA AS A. GRAIN
PRODUCER.


Never Saw Such Fine Wheat Any-
where.
"a Gust. tAnderson, of Maidstone, Sas-
katchewan, was formerly>of Minnesota,
and has been in Central Canada three
years. On January 16, 1910, he writes:
Arriving fifteen miles from. Maid
stone, bought couple of steers from
a rancher, as my capital was not large,
and with the two oxen brought with
me, broke rs acres which put in
crop in 1908, and had to clear some
brush. l earned $500 by breaking
fifteen acres. for a neighbor and dur
ing the summer put up hay and
hauled timber and put up houses for
othersettlers. Notwithstanding heavy
frost on August 18th. l had 22la bush
els OF wheat per acre and so bushels
of oats. on 80 acres of wheat in 1909,
got 81 bushels of wheat per acre
and 1900 bushels of oats on 20 acres.
never saw such fine wheat anywhere.
We have plenty of rain between May
and August and after August seldom
any but dry, warm days. Water can
be had at from 20 to 40 feet, and
plenty of grass for cattle"
The evidence of Mr.. Anderson is CIV
en- because 1t is encouraging to the
man of small means who is DESTROYS
of lettering his condition. 1t shows
what can be done, and there is really
but small limit to the man with push
and energy to become wealthy on Can
adian lands. And the grain that he
raises is good. A press dispatch says:
The quality of the wheat continues
to be the feature of the deliveries. In
tho total of 1878 cars in the Febru-
airy inspections there were 2,S47 OF
high grade stuff, percentage of "a .2S
For January the percentage was S221
and for the six months 1t was 1856
This is an unusually high average, and
1t demonstrates beyond the shadow Of
q doubt that the farmers IN this part
OF the Dominion still know how to
( grow first class wheat. The crop Of
1908 was considered good enough, and
its average Of contract wheat was only
70 per cent. Good weather through
out the season was an important fac.
tor. Of course, In -insuring the high
qussity Of the grain. and 1t Is moi
likely that atmospheric influences Of
80 favorable a character will be en-
countered for a long, time to come. The
best that can be expected is that fair
average for term of years will be
maintained.
