He sold one at Puyallup valley
fair by telegraph for $500, and re-

highest price.

to see where the profit comes in.
Aristocratic Hogs.
Brewers hogs are just as aris-
tocratic. One monster, which he
showed to wondering crowds at
the Puyallup fair, weighed 1000
pounds. And he wasn't fat, either

four inches from his jowls, and

Washington's "boy farmer" f.
l.. Brewer of Satsop. who visited
the Valley Fair last week, has
proved that the "back-tO-the-
farm" cry is no idle jest. After
teaching I'm the states public
schools for ten years, for total
reward of $4,000, he discovered
better way to live. He went
back TO his boyhood town, bought
farm on his credit, and without
cent of capital, but $50 borrow
ed money, he began life anew.
And he has made good.
He is now the owner of 1872
acres of fertile land, so head of
thoroughbred Jersey cattle, 100
thoroughbred hogs and 500 chick
ems, few horses and farm imple-
ments. And all within period of
three years. The total value of
his entire holdings in real and
personal property is put at $780,
900. This is $4,000 more than
he made in the 10 years previous.
Which all proves that you haven't
got to be a CRATER in order to
prosper In this free country of
ours.
Brewer saw that his struggle
for existence as a teacher, which
netted him various sums, from
$50 a month to $125-mostly the
former-was not the way he
should live. And he went back to
nature. And nature received him
and rewarded him.
$4,000 in Three Years.
The sum of $4,000 in three
years is better wages than the av-
erage executive gets. It's more
than the average workman gets in
all his lifetime. Yet Brewer stud

Held all the world in scorn

Once more the ancient game is played
To make the populace afraid,
Once more we hear the ugly threat
or unemployment want and debt:
once more the plunderers would raise
The ghost of lean and dreary days,
Thinking to halt-as once they could
The Army of the Common Good.
Because they. may not cheat and fleece
And rob unhindered and at peace,
They snarl prophesy of woe
At all who "persecute" them so,
Held by the god of gold in thrall
They threaten Gloss of cash" to all,
And think to stop the march of Right
BY outworn bugaboos of fright
But when an army seeks no loot,
No gold can make Its bugles mute,
Nor can the threat of loss and harm
Palsy the soldiers fighting arm,
Through all the terror and the pain
They'll fight and fall and fight again.
The Panic-Makers only make
The spirit strong that they would break.

CANANEA. Jlne -(Special)- With the revolution practically over, and with nothing to retard the prog ress of mining operations except the depredations of bandit organizations, the future for the mining industry appears brighter than for some time heietofore. The bandits are at pres ent being pursued through Sonora initiated and the state will resume it's placidity.
 With the cessation of hostilities al ready is noted the plans of various properties to resume operations after a term of idleness, in some cases ex- tending for several years. From present indications il appears that the Espisitu Santo. or La Ventura Metals company. will begin opera tions in a short time, possibly within the next two months. while the Or tega and Santa RoSalia are at present making preparations to resume oper ations.
 Blow in Shelters.
 Two smelters will soon be blown in, which are located in the northern portion of Sonora, those of the Cob riga Mining company at Noria and that of the Sonora Copper Smelling company, which is located in the neighborhood of Noria also. These two plants have been completed some time ago, but on account of unset tied conditions the blowing in of shem was postponed.
 The Calumet & Sonora company, which has been busily engaged in in s1alling an electrostatic plant, Will soon be again shipping concentrates. The work of altering parts of the mill has been progressing and is about completed.
 It is reported that the Guggen- helms have secured control or th5s company, but the report cannot be verified here Some months ago a similar report was in circulation. All the various portions Of tue Greene-Cananea plant are working at present and the new portions Of the plant have been giving excellent service
