Some Of the measures demand

amendment to the game and
fish laws, striking out their OBJ
noXious features; the abolition
of the Office of state road COM
missioner and the state road tax;
the reduction of the state levy

a great reduction in the appro-

state government without inl-

of the public service and the
proper conduct of the state insti-

Despite the opposition of some
Republicans ill the state senate,
who sought to add to the appro-
priations, the appropriation bills,
as finally passed, show a saving
to the state approximately three

Debt Should be Bourne BY Govern
meni. Says Congressman
John NJ. Hamilton.

That mCasrr will he introduced
In congress when it cOnvenes in ex-
ira session next month asking The
federal government to assume the
obligation of West Vmginia's part
of the Virginia debt is an assured
fact and many people of this state
think that the coming session of
congress will act favorably upon
such bill.
The Parkersburg Dispatch News
IN the issue Of March 9th. contain
tanned the following article:
John NJ. Hamilton, congressman
for the Fourth district, i'll an inter
view last night, state that it was
his intention to see that such n
measure was presented to the com
ing session of congress and gave
many logical reasons why the debt
arising from war measure should
be bourne 10y the federal rather
than by The state government
ely contention that the United
States government should assume
the liability is founded upon the
arguments of James G.. Blame on
the same question. 1t is establish
ed by precedent that when the fed
eral government obtains territory
by war measure IT should assume
he Indebtedness Of the territory SO
acquired. This was done in the
acquisition of the PHILIPPINE Islands
and also when the southwestern
states were acquired from Mexico
The admission of West Virginia as
a sovereign state was virtually a
war measure. This fact is admit
ted in the decision of the supreme
court when it ruled the matter a
quasi in ternational affair in handing
down the decision in favor of the
mother state In the case of the
separation of West Virginia from
Virginia the measure was more to
the interest of the United States
than to the new state itself and III
view of this fact the federal govern
ment should assume the indebted
ness"
Congressman Hamilton asserted
I hat he is entirely opposed to repu-
diation. 1t is a just debt and
should be paid" he said, but as l
am not qualified to say as to what
way payment can be made by this
state. there are those who claim
that payment cannot be enforced,
but the ruling of the supreme court
should be respected even If settle
ment cannot be forced, and the
claim should be paid"
Congressman Hamilton has given
tie subject deep consideration, it
being one of the issues upon which
he made his campaign last fall and
probably no man in West Virginia
is as well qualified to master the

The DUNCAN ARIZONIAN is
three years old today, our next
issue we enter upon the fourth
year.
Joe McAlister Goes to Raw.

Joe McAlister who has made
Duncan his home for years, many
years, in fact since he was a small
boy, now bids farewell and goes
to Ray, Arizona, that promising
camp, where he launches into the
livery business.
For the present his family re-
mains here, but only for a short
time. We predict good share
of the business at Ray will be
handled by Mr.. McAlister, and
Joe's friends here wish him sue
cess in his new home and new
business.

Apache Box Excitement.

The rich gold strike in Apache
Box canyon mas made not more
than two months ago, vet it is at
tracing much attention already.
1t is said by parties who have
seen it to be the biggest low grade
proposition in gold and silver on
earth, being a bluff 1000 feet
wide, 500 feet high and no telling
how long, all carrying gold.
The discovery was made through
accident, like all rich strikes are
made. Some parties from Bisbee
went into this box canyon to take
some pictures, and in scrambling
over the huge boulders broken off
the sides of the great walls it
was noticed that gold nuggets,
some as large as grains of wheat,
were sticking in these boulders,
and upon investigation it was
found that the whole bluff was
gold-bearing rock.
The agreeably surprised party
returned to Bisbee, got their gold
pans and prospector's outfits and
returned to the scene of the re-
markable discovery. After test
ing the rock it was found that
everything "panned" gold and
some of it exceedingly rich.
Three claims were located, 1900
feet by 1900 feet.
At this juncture George w.
Phillips of Duncan located the
extensions, !" both north and
south, so the chances are good
that he will be able to turn his
property for a good price, there
being no doubt but what this
property will be worked by good
strong company, and within the
next few months it is too big a
proposition to stand idle very
long and when it does start,
you can rest assured that it will
be the making of this entire min
ing district.

A Correction

Bishop Nation of Franklin was
in town Saturday on business.
and while here the Bishop correct
ed a mistake which was publish
ed in the Business-Farme of Ell
Paso recently and reprinted in
the Arizonian two weeks ago.
The mistake was in reference
to the building of the Model Can
al; Mr.. Edwards in gathering his
data on the construction
got the names mixed little. It
was Bishop T. j. Nation, Ben
Echols and w. T. Cauthen who
filed on the water right for the
Model Canal. And, Bishops Ma
tion and Echols were the pioneers
in the building of this canal,
while pioneer James Gale came
in two years after the canal had
been started. However, This in
no way deprives Pioneer Gale of
his pioneership Mr.. Gale having
been on the frontier and pioneer
ing all his life, but with reference
to the Model Canal Bishops Ma
ton, Echols and w. T. Cauthen
are entitled priority as to pioneer
ship.

Cherokee Bill Comes to
Town.

Cherokee Bill, one of the best
known characters in the South
west, came into town yesterday.
He has very interesting history
and relates it intelIigently. Hav-
ing come to Arizona with his
father when small lad, some
thirty years ago, he has seen the
Indians driven from the western
domain, mines developed, towns
and cities spring up and the val
leys and desert reclaimed and
made to blossom as the rose. )"
HE saw Clifton, our county seat
and great smelter town, when
only two tents marked it as a
place of habitation for the white
man.
All these years Cherokee Bill
has slept out doors and lived in
the mountains and usually alone,
except in his travels which bring
him in contact with men and
things. He took in the Worlds
Fair at st. Louis in 1904 and
spent much time there. He en-
listed in the Spanish-Ame
war and did some good service in
Cuba and later in the PHILIPPINE
Islands, serving under Gen. Joe
Wheeler, under whom his father
served in the war of the rebellion.
Cherokee Bills right name is
Gardner, Raymond E. He was
born in Texas and gets his sobri-
quet because of his having been
with the Indians so much of his
life; he lived among the Indians
in Canada, where he says he
never saw a white man for three
years and has lived among the
Apaches of Arizona much of his
time and he wears his hair long
in typical Indian style. He has
always enjoyed the best of health
and attributes this to his outdoor
life and freedom from the use of
tobacco or liquors.
He has served Uncle Sam in
more ways than one, in the try
ing days here through Indian
dread he carried the mail and al
ways got along unmolested by
the Indians.
Cherokee Bill would attract at
tentlon anywhere he might 60
because of his peculiar dress and
long hair. But he tries to avoid
the curious and notoriety, being
very modest in this way. J

to blame you for staying out. You

all to no purpose. The young man
went on search for a gun and am
munition, and somewhere in the first
corps found them among men who
had been wounded during the pre-
ceding day. Before the action be-
gan, he took his place in the ranks
His regiment was stationed on a
sunken road running from the En-
mitsburg road to Cemetery Ridge, on
the northern edge of the historic
Peach Orchard. After a short ar
tillery fire, body of Confederatss
began to move at double quick from
the Emmitsburg road toward Little
Round Top, about 200 years south
of the sunken road. The conforma-
ton of the intervening ground was
such that the cannon could not be
depressed so as to reach them, and
line of infantry, among which was
the 141st Pa, was hurried to a posi-
tion south and east of the peach or
chard, where they opened mus
kerry fire on the Confederate column,
which was pushing on double
quick toward Little Round Top.
The Confederates paid no attention
to this, but some of their infantry
or sharpshooters along the Emmits-
burg road opened a scattering fire
on the Union line. One of the first
Union soldiers killed by this fire wds
Ellery J. Bunnell; going into the
battle solely from a patriotic sense of
duty, he sealed his devotion to the
Union with his life.
His mother was entitled to a pen
sion for the loss of her son, but for
many years refused to make applica-
tion for one. However, on November
"a (the day before Thanksgiving)
1897, she was totally disabled by a
fall, in which one hip was fractured.
The increased expense for her care,
resulting from this accident, finally
led her to apply for what she was
a.. law entitled to, and-o on July 70,
1902, she was granted pension of
$12 month.
