THE FIRST FOURTH
AT BLYTHE &c.
Was Appropriately Celebrated by Pa
triotic Citizens The Noon Day
Feast Given by Floyd Brown Was
Principal Feature.

BLYTHE JUNCTION, Cal, July
5.-We didn't hear the eagle scream,
but from the time the gatling gun ex-
plosions of Floyd Browns arriving
Pierce-Arrow to the final footing of
the Santa Fe's midnight passenger
train, everyone was busy making
each 60 minutes count several hours.
The nation has had several Fourths-
of-July; Blythe Junction but one.
There were men enough to make a
Jury, and we will abide by their de-
cision of the days doings From the
top of the railroad signal mast to the
bottom of the ice cream freezer the
red, white and blue were in evidence
Floyd Brown had spent about ten
days in the Palo Verde valley gath
ering up products of the soil and the
best birds from Blythe poultry fan
one looks at a malapai mountain on
one side and a row of sand dunes on
the other, fried chicken, watermelon
and canteloupe present a tempting
appearance. Under the guidance OF
Chef Harvey Hall, assisted by Jack
Gray, that department was complete.
The railroad folks proclaimed that
Blythe Junction had Harvey
House" equal to the best of that ia
nous line.
At eventide the combined ranks of
tOwnspeople and visitors strolled out
to the home of Santa Fe Agent Phil
lips where Norton W., the only
youngster in town, had been the
days mascot
Most everyone tried some musical
stunt from phonObraph to piano, but
our erstwhile Chef Hall drew the pi-
ano playing prize But then, he was
costumed for the occasion, which, We
fear, influenced the judges.
Here's wishing our Uncle Samuel
many more birthdays, likewise Blythe
Junction.

FIND ANCIENT BELLS.

DR.. j. W. FeWkes OF the Ruraan af
American EthnolOgy has reportad
that the two copper bells lately fonnd
on the LoSsing ranch near phoaniv
are OF type Identical with a number
found by him in ruins i'm northarn
Arizona. He declares they are of
date far antecedent to the Spanish 90
cupatiOn of Arizona and intimates thay
were probably made in Mexico. The
bells are very much like ordinary
sleigh bells, though probably not used
in that way on the deserts of soutb-
ern Arizona. 1t is likely they served
as anklet or bracelet bells for dancers

J. r. Price has moved his vegeta-

Conductor j. J. McArdle, who has
been on the A. e C. run from Phoe-
nix to Parker, has been transferred
to the main line on the Phoenix and
Ash Fork run. Yardmaster j. G.
Stewart of Prescott has been pro

Harvey Hon came in from Copper
Basin Thursday and reports good
progress at the property OF the Hon
Mining company. During the past
month the shaft has been sunk to
the 165-foot point, 65 feet having
been made in twenty eight shifts.
Good values have been encountered
all the way.
The first downpour of the season
occurred last Saturday 1t lasted
about one hour and thoroughly soaked
the ground Since then the thermom-
eter has been doing stunts upwards,
but, compared with the published re-
ports of the extreme heat in the
east. Parker can still be classed as
quite comfortable.
The Oasis club, the only legal
thirst parlor Parker ever knew, clos
ed it's doors to the public last Satur-
day night, and now the town is as
dry as tinder. Everybody on the wa
ter wagon, but quite a few are de
termined to make up for missed
drinks when they go to the coast on
their annual vacations
An auto enroute from Portland,
Ore, to New York, having aboard
two representative of the Transcon-
tinental Road Map company, arrived
here Thursday afternoon, leaving the
following morning on their long trip
eastward. They are engaged in max
ing a map of the new transcontinen-
tai automobile route from coast to
coast. Parker will be on the route
and all machines are to cross the Col
orado river at this point.
In a telegram from Washington
last Saturday night superintendent p.
T. Lonergan was instructed by the
department to remain in charge of
the Indian reservation until July
IS, or until a new bond has been
filed by Omar L. Babcock, the recent
ly appinted agent. Mr.. Lonergan had
made all preparations for his depart
ure that night to New Mexico. The
difficulty with Mr.. BabcOck's bond
was that it happened to be with a
bonding company not approved by
ne service.
We are in receipt of a letter from
Thomas A. Hanson, one of our sub
scribers at Nome, Alaska, in which
he states that his copy of The Post
is read by many people there who de-
sire to keep posted on this section of
the country Quite a number of Alas
kans contemplate coming to Parker
TO reside permanently upon the open
ing of the Indian reservation lands
A portion of what they have made in
the gold camps of the frozen north is
to be used in developing homeSteada

association, the title of which indi-
Gates Its competency-comes to the
front with decision which may fair

the Boston branch OF the association
that the world is indebted for the so

solving n arose from the completion
OF new home for the young women
Of the association In the Massachu-

establishment. II was found necessary
TO specify precisely the Limit OF young
womanhood. beyond which the bens-

This has been fixed at IS years. I'D
to that age a young woman comes
within the meaning OF the title as un-
derstood BY the association and may
enjoy the advantages Of membership
and residence in the home. On reach
Ing her thirty-ffth birthday she must
resign her quarters. On that fatal day
her young womanhood ceases and the
"old maid" label is placed upon her
indeubly and irrevocabiy. Thus the
matter Is settled beyond further caviI

wise kept inside its precincts. But
within quite recent time the officials
at the French bank resorted to a very
novel method Of protecting their bull
lion. This consisted in engaging ma
sons to wall up the doors of the vaults
in the cellar with hydraulic mortar as
soon as the money was deposited each
day in these receptacles. The water
was then turned on and kept running
until the whole cellar was flooded. A
burglar would be obliged to work in
diving suit and break down a cement
wall before he could even begin to
plumber the vaults. When the bank
officials arrived next morning the wa.
ter was drawn off, the masonry torn
down and the vaults opened. Curl
ously enough, within a few months
after this obsolete maner of protecting
the banks cash was done away with
burglars did actually get into the
vaults and decamp with about S45, 900
in gold coin.-Strand Magazine.

How Tourists Economic.

from st. Moritz. A stout couple, &C.

were also thick" as the Germans
translate stout, entered a crowded no

deTsd one lunch at table d'hote. Ths

him and left the table, his place be-
ing taken for the entrees by his wife,
who had been waiting with her chill.
dren in the hotel corridor until her
husband appeared.
The young man then took his moth,
sT's place TO attach the joint. and he
was followed by his sister for the
sweets, all doing justice To the menu.
In the crowd the tourists did not no
tice the unusual lunch, but the head
waiter did, and when asked for the
bill presented one for four lunches.

TO RELIEVE THE HicCOUGHS
Sucking Ice or Taking Salt and Vine
gar often VIII Cure Simple
Cases.

Simple cases of hiccough are often
relieved by such measures as sucking
ice or taking salt and vinegar. Pull
ing the tongue forward and hold
ing 1t for some time Is an effective
procedure.
Sometimes obstinate hiccough Is re-
lieved when the patient is strong by
having him hang with the arms ex-
tended and grasping some beam or
pole, 30 that his feet do not touch the
floor. With all the abdominal muscles
tense. have him hold his breath as
long as possible.
The spelling "hiccough" is recent.
being combination Of the syllables
'hic" and the latter term of cough"
which Is without either physiological
or genealogical basis: the proauneia-
ton, with perhaps the rarest excep-
ton, Is still that Of the older form
"hiccup." earlier given variously-as
"hickup," "hickupsnickup," "hickop,"
"his1sosk." "hieAsosk' and "hiaAett, :"
with quasi diminishing sufixes ack.
ETC.; but the ''hick." syllable aptly
expressive OF the spasmodie sound pro-
duoed by the conditions giving rise to
the particular disturbance, is found in
all references to the origin Of the term
which the writer has been able to OBJ
tain. The term singultus is rarely
used.-New York Medical Journal.

Lifting FIre I4ose by Ele~a.ors.

The latest idea for raising water
for fre-extinguishing purposes to the
uppermost floors OF tall buildings Is
to lift the hose by means Of the pas
seuUer or freight elevators. A simple
attachment 10 provided for aiming the
hose TO the floor Of the elevator, the
pipe being cooled up In the bottom Of
the shaft 80 a. to be sasily raissd.

about two sections behind the dis
charge nozzle, these sections being
oolled ON the elevator door.

sheet Of paper, and wrote on it the
names of the eight rooms. and beside
the name of each room / wrote the

would put it in the place beside the
name Of that room on the paper.
The paper tackled up in conspic-
