THE PHOTO GRAPHER.

The photographer Is a mercness individual who earns a precarious
livelihood by manufacturing prima face evidence OF hidden depravIy and
original sin! <Fis "a fearful thing to fall. into the hands OF u photographer
who Is a sticklr' for the truth and who would rather lose a customer than
crowseet: and other bricabrac from the first proof. Years ago we
knew a photographer. who was an artist yet a perfect gentleman. and iav.
Ing quite a percept!be religious bent in his person NE insisted upon pr.
uaying every male victim in a concIatory sqmnt and a hair cut which
looked like an asparagus bed in full bloom. The photographer is a very
busy man. In some localities the only relaxatives that are not satiating
in their effect are having your picturetaken and going to funerals. 1t ~ a
highly exhllaratng sensation to sink gracefully into the embrace of a red
plush rocker and feel the cammy fin gers of a castlron headrest close
firmly around seach. yelnous and protuberant ear lobe. Many a man who
has tried to look pleasant under such circumstances has only succeeded in
.arousingi the suspicious of the chief OF police and causing his neighbors
to lock! the hen house door,. Whenever q man looks at n photograph OF
himself taken Immediately prior to the marriage ceremony, he wonders
how his wife screwed up her courage to the sticking point, and then again,
examines one OF her pictures; takens In. the dress OF the period,

0. FOR WATER! WATER!
The Cry That Rang Across the
Deserts Sands But Woke No
Echo i'm Their Awful Silence

San Bernardino, Aug. 2O-Al
Williams, a prospector, missing
since May, was found dead in a
a narrow box gulch eighteen miles
north east of johannesburg, on
the Mojave desert, today, the
victim of a sandstorm and thirst.
A diary which he kept during the
last week of his wanderings dur
ing June, tells a pathetic story
of ssthe mans hopeless effort to
find water.
I'm lost. breads the first entry.
Am without water, but hope to
find water tonight.
The next day another entry
tells of his fruitless search, but
closes with the words: Il hope to
find water tonight.
On June 9th was the final entry
with comment: This thirst is
terrible; I'm on fire. Strange
figures taunt with their mockery.
My tongue is leather; only God
can help me, and he won't; | can
not find water; oh, for water!
water!" and on this final word
he stopped, leaving it incomplete.
In a scrawl he enters: June
10" and June H." That is the
final entry.
1t is believed he perished June
18th, the next day. Williams
knew the desert like a book, but
became lost during a sandstorm,
and storms had so changed the
topography that afterWard he
couldn't get his bearings. With
in a half mile Of where his body
was found is Rattlesnake Springs,
but he never knew.

STRIKE
Sells Mining Claim at Hatchita
For Good Sum.

Ed Powell, the solicitor with
Hotchkiss & Hayhurst, was wear
ing good-sized smile and carry
ing a good-sized check from his
father, which was his part of
the price of a gold mine which
was sold during the last few days
in the Sylvanite district, near
Hachita. This mine was located
during the exciting times around
Sylvanite several years ago. by
A. B. Powell, of Duncan, who
kindly included his son, Ed, in
the location. Since then the loca-
tion work has been done
annually and sufficient value was
developed to make it attractive.
The sale was for cash, but the
amount is not given out, but judg-
ing from the smile on Eds face,
it was entirely satisfactory to
him. Other sales have recently
been reported in the Sylvanite
district and it is predicted that
production will be a feature of
the district in the near future. =

practical results. Recently the
council passed a weights and
weights and measures ordinance
and City Sealer Trippell got busy
among the merchants.
On the first roundup he tested
the scales of sixteen merchants s.
small fry fellows, Of course and
found that only one of them had
scales that were honest according
to the government standards.
The scales of the other fifteen
dealers were condemned because
they showed discrepancies vary
ing from one-half ounce to the
pound up to seven and eight ounce
to the pound.
And the city sealer naively re-
marked that in no case was the
variance found to favor the Gus

Constitutional Government In
Mexico.

The results of the elections
held in some OF the states of Old
Mexico are highly encouraging
to the friends of that country
and give the best possible as
surance that the people of Mexi-
co are in full measure competent
to handle their own affairs.
1t is not only that in practically
every instance the men chosen
are honest, capable and progress
sive, rejecting credit upon the
judgment of the people, but that
the elections themselves were
conducted with absolute fairness
to every candidate, in accordance
with the constitution and the
laws of the country, and without
the least disorder.
1t can be safely assumed that
with the consummation of the
national election, the result of
which is scarcely in doubt, the
last vestige of friction remain
ing as an aftermath of the revo-
luton will be swept away. and
under a constitutional govern
ment, chosen by the people,
Mexico will enter upon era of
peace and prosperity such as that
country has never known before.
