When to Change

It was the dreamy hour after the Christmas dinner, and the girls were talking in the hushed tones appropriate to the occasion.
 "I've just heard of a new charm to tell whether any one loves you, and if so, who it is," whispered Elsie.
 "What is it?" queried Sophie, absently lingering her new diamond ring.
 Well. you take four or five chestnuts. name each one of them after some man you know, then put them on the stove, and the first one that pops is the one that loves you"
 "H'm," said Sophie; "I know a better way than that"
 "Do you?"
 "Yes, indeed. By my plan you take one particular man, place him on the sofa in the parlor, sit close to him with the light a little low, and look into his eyes. And then if he doesn't pop, you'll know it's time to change the man on the sofa"

WHILE it is quite true that the open-a air mode of living in this country is delightful in summer, it may be surmised that the prospec- tive citizen of this city, who comes here now. would like to have req sonable assurance that winter would not catch him in a 10-ounce duck wickiup. Wherefore, the sugges- tion that few modest cottages would lend confidence to the new conner and give an air of architect ural activity to the town as viewed from the windows of passing tour ist trains.

DESPITE the warning notice of Health Officer Rounseville sopae three weeks ago for property own CTS and others to clean up their premises, the order has in a num- Der of instances been ignored.

SUNDAY night there were six fam. flies of new arrivals in town who were earnestly looking for houses to live in, and whos were wholly unable to find them. It is beccm- ing matter of most unfavorable comment that people contempla- ting 8 location here receive not the least encouragement to do so, and are obliged to- go away to other places because of the indifference on the part of the public and the entire lack of accommodations to make even a temporary stay in the city.

Brooks, Believer and a Booster

Brooks, a Believer and a Booster
 F. H. Brooks. who since early spring has been looking over Ari- zona for a location for himself and a family of five. including two husky boys, naturally picked upon Williams as town of bright pros- poets, first class educational advan- tages for his children and place to live happily and healthy for the remainder of his days, and will cast his lot here.
 MT. Brooks halls from Neunas county, Texas, where he has been a real estate man, 8 city builder and a booster generally, and it was the experience gained in this line that convinced him Williams will enjoy rise in real estate values and consequent revival of activity in other lines.
 Because there is not an avaiia ble vacant house in town, MT. Brooks is obliged to camp on the town commons. but so sanguine is he of the building boom that is bound to arrive soon, he and his family are enduring the temporary discomfort of their open-air life cheerfully. Meanwhile our neighboring city of Flagstaff is building new houses at rate unbelievable to the man who does not and will not see that northern Arizona is having an in- Aux of progressive immigrants who will make it possible for this part of the territory to come into it's own as the best part of the best section of the United States.

THAT THE PEOPLE
 MAY UNDERSTAND
To the Editor of The News and
 Citizens of Williams:

Citizens of Williams: In The News of couple of weeks since there appeared an article con-
 cerning the water situation in Will Hams, and which reflected some- what seriously upon the local wa
 ter company.
 Admitting that some of the state
 ments contained therein are true, the article as a whole, I believe, is calculated to mislead many, and I avail myself of the offer of The News to put the matter in what I
 consider the proper light before the public.
 In the first place, it should be understood that the local company is handicapped by conditions which it is struggling to overcome, such as several leaks in the new pipes,
 and this in connection with the
 fact that large number of persons are using water from the so-called Nellis system for other than purely domestic purposes makes it almost impossible to keep from falling back on the reservior water for drinking uses.
 
 It may also be information to the public to know that a year ago the water company, at considerable ex-
 pense, had complete chemical an alysis made by competent water expert, who reported that the pecu- liar teste and odor of the water was due, not to any germs or other properties injurious to the human system, but due wholly and solely to a natural growth in the water itself which was in no wise harmful. The matter of the unprotected condition of the reservior has been overlooked by the water company, and steps will be taken immedi- ately to enclose it with a wire fence. f
 In conclusion, it is earnestly
 urged upon the public to refrain,
 for the immediate present at least, from wasteful use of the water from
 the Nellis system, where the entire
 supply now emanates, until the
 connection with the new we'll has
 been perfected and the system is in
 working order.
 I believe that fuller under standing of the system by the pub
 lie and it's co operation with the
 work of the water company will
 finally result in what they are
 making every effort to bring about, and that is a bountiful supply of | the best water obtainable in the Southwest.
 
 I am not interested in the com
 pany other than my good will, but
 having spent the company's money
 under my management, wish the
 public to know the facts as they
 exist. V. H. MELICK.

PRESIDENT TAFT once declared the
wool schedule in the new tariff
''indefensible." Now that a bill re-
duciug the wool tariff has passed the
senate the president is credited with
having said he would veto it, if it
should pass the house and go to him
for his signature. To approve the
bill would offend the wool manufac.
turers who are the farm ers" in whose
interests the schedule was made, and
to veto the bill would be to refuse to
correct an evil he himself declared to
be ''indefensible." What will he do?
A presidential campaign is almost on.
The wool manufacturers have money
to contribute to campaign and also
influence with purchasable politicians,
and on the other hand are 90,0OO,0O0
of people who must have clothing and
who have been robbed of hundreds of
millions every year that the trust
magnates might wax fat. It's the
devil oa one hand, aud the dark, deep,
blue brine on the other. Which will
he tackle?

THE Canadian voter will now be told
that the ratification of the Taft Cana
dain agreement will mean ruin to the
Canadian farmer. 1t will be charged
that Taft out figured the Canadians in
making the Canadian bargain which
must be rejected for the protection
of Canadian interests. Would it not be
funny, indeed, after all the "progres-
sive" oratory in this country to see
Canada reject the agreement, after it's
ratification in this country, on the
ground that it discriminates strongly
against Canada? ARGUS Leader.

The average South Dakota farmer
doesn't know what reciprocity is going
to do for them, but he is hoping for
the best while fearing the worst.
-Brookings Register,
He may be doing as the Register
says, but if he would read the market
reports for a week he would know
that "it never touched him." The
grain market is acting just as it did
before the bill passed and Thursday,
July 27, was higher than the day the
bill was passed. The tariff on grain
never did any farmer any good; it
was political gold brick" that he
has paid nightly dear for many
times over. The only wonder is that
so many accepted the fraud at what
the politicians claimed its value to be;
it was the most monumental piece of
"bunk" ever handed to the farmers of
this country.

conclusion to be drawn from this
situation, the cotton manufactures
trust wants the tariff retained because
it gets the benefit of the tariff, and
not the people who raise the cotton.
This same situation exists in regard
to wool, cotton, sugar, steel, lumber,
and many other lines of staple articles.

LA TOILETTE secured the passage
of a compromise wool schedule in the
Senate last week. The matter is
likely to 60 to a conference between
the two houses, but it is likely to be
enacted without any great change,
The bill passed the senate by a com
bination of democrats and insurgents.
1t seems to have a shrewd piece of
work on the part of La Toilette. 1t
is likely to put the matter up to
President Taft where he must either
fish or cut bait" Should the presi.
dent veto a reduction in the wool
schedule, he will put himself in the
position of favoring a downward
revision only on the farmers products,
and should he allow !he bill to be-
comea law, he will have TO gig" back
on his avowed intention to wait for
the report of the tariff board before
the enactment of tariff legislation.
At the best Mr.. Taft stands to get the
worst end of the deal, but the people
will not be sorry for him in this in
stance for if Mr.. Taft had lived up to
his campaign promise there would be
no opportunity or necessity for a
downward revision at this time.

SOUTH DAKOTAN MAKES GOOD

The following account of the opera
tions of Chas. Bohlke in the state of
Washington as told by the Cashmere
| Wash J Record, will be of interest
to many of our readers. Mr.. Bohlke
was Volga boy, was raised near that
town, and is relative of the Bertleson
boys and of Thos. Sorenson. Those
who have 10 personal interest in him
will be interested in reading of his
success, which seems to be phenomenal
and which is credit TO the hustling
qualities that are generally found in
South Dakota people:
Intensive farming or gardening is
surely manifest up at the Bohlke
orchard tract at the entrance of
Ollalla canyon. Besides developing
a seventy five acre tract and growing
what will be the largest and best in
dividuaI orchard around here Mr..
Bohlke will this year reap small
fortune from the crops he is GROWN &
between the young trees.
Twenty acres-think of it dear
reader twenty acres are planted to
onions growing from the black seed,
and they are as pretty patch as the
writer ever looked upon. Planted
in rows fourteen inches apart and
thinned to two or three inches apart
they are making growth which is
remarkable. For weeks several wagon
loads have been thinned from the
patch.
A conservative estimate by con-
servative people place Mr.. Bohlke's
crop at not less than $50 tons from
his patch of onions, and at the rate
this product sells for in the winter he
should readily realize at least $40 a
ton. This gives a revenue of $500
on an acre. The cost of growing the
big crop is reduced to minimum as
the force of men employ ed to care for
and irrigate the orchard, readily do
all the work in connection with the
crop.
Aside from the onions Mr.. Bohlke
has ten acres in potatoes, ten acres in
Stowells Evergreen sweet corp and
ten acres in field corn, beside a nice
patch of wheat. Sixty FIVE acres are
planted to the best varieties of apples
and are making a growth that is
wonderful. Ten more acres will be
planted in the fall. The place is
provided with plenty of water from a
private irrigation source. 1t extends
for more than mile up the valley
and its natural slope and drainage
makes it particularly easy to irrigate
and extremely adaptable for truck
ing land.
Mr.. Bohlke is of scientific turn of
mind and very practical in every
thing he undertakes. He consults
the best authorities on horticulture,
reads extensively, and all his work
shows care and painstaking effort.

A PECULIAR situation exists in
congress regarding the revision of the
cotton scedule. The bill was pre-
pared by Representative Underwood
of Alabama. IL is to be presumed
that representative from extreme
south, in which section the cotton of
the country is grown, would not in.
troduce a bill calculated to ruin the
farmers engaged in the great industry
of that section. Southern represen
tatives and senators are just as strong
on protecting their home industries
as are the representatives of the
northern farmer, From this we may
safely assume that the tariff on cotton
is considered dead letter as far as
the cotton grower is concerned
Representative Payne, OF New York
brought in an adverse minority
committee report against the bill, Civ
ing as his reason that it does not
furnish protection duties for a great
American industry. Here we have the
spectule of representative from a
constituency as far away from the
cotton fields as it is possible 10 &c,
stepping into the breach and cham
pioning tariff that is regarded as ol
no benefit by those who come from
the cotton fields. There is only one

LIKE CAESAR DID.

When Caesar took an eastward ride
and grabbed the Gauls for Rome,
what was the first thing that he did
to make them feel at home? Did he in
crease the peoples loads and liberty
forbid? No, he dug in and built
Good Roads that's what old Caesar
did.
Did Caesar put the iron heel upon
the foemen's breast, or did he try to
make them feel the Roman rule was
best? What did be do to make them
glad he'd come their midst amid? He
built Good Roads in place of bad
that's what old Caesar did.
He built Good Roads from hill to
hill, Good Roads from vale to vale;
he ran a Good Roads movement till
old Rome got all the kale. He told
the folks to buy at home, built roads
their hills amidst, until all roads led
up to Rome-that's what old Caesar
did.
If any town would make the town
the center of the map, where folks will
come and settle down and live in

THE CONTROLLER BAY BUSINESS

Presidnt Taft's messagae to the
