H. J. Gray

For supervisor the republicans of Bellemont have placed the name of Harry J. Gray before the voters of the county. It would be hard to find a man more suitable for the office of supervisor than MT. Gray. He is thorough business man and
 is particularly we'll posted on the affairs of the county; and what Is better than anything else, he is not afraid to do his duty as he sees it. He is 8 firm believer in a square deal, and will see to it that no sec- tion of the county will receive ben efits to the exclusion of another section. A vote for H. J. Gray is a
 vote for a man who will see to 1t that the affairs of the county are administered in a business like way.

1O1 Ranch Wild West.

In recent agricultural article, the New York Herald said: "The 101 Ranch is the largest and most renowned stock and agricultural ranch in the United States, consist ing of over thirty square miles. Five hundred farm hands are re- quired to harvest the crops. and several hundred cowboys look after the 5000 head of cattle. The Mil Ter Bros. own one tenth of all the American buffaloes in the country"
 This is the home of the 1O1 Ranch Real Wild West Show which will be here Tuesday. Nov. Z. It is from the ranch that the show derives it's name, and the ranch in turn takes it's name from the brand "101" that is placed on the left bip of all live stock of the ranch. The same peo- pie that own the ranch are the own CTS of the show.

TOBOGGAN SLIDE
 AT SCHOOL GROUNDS

While the children were absent Tuesday afternoon attending the circus. the principal. assisted by the janitor. completed what they call 8 "toboggan slide" in the school yard. This. no doubt, is the first of the kind ever erected in a school yard in the United States. and for the patent call on Prof. Cureton and the eighth and ninth grade boys at the school. They exchanged sug- gestions and experiences and the outcome is a very enjoyable inven- tion, so much so that the children hung. lanterns about the slide the first night and kept up the sport till late hour; then the following morning some of the boys began about sun-up and kept it up till the last tap of the bell that called. them in to their studies. The girls are taking much interest in the in vention and have already asked the principal to erect similar one on the opposite side of the schoolhouee for them. Prof Cureton is consid. ering the matter and we are certain that he will make some suitable improvement for the girls play ground, if not toboggan slide.
 This slide is an inclined plane, built of 2x12, supported by posts or braces of 2x4s. The elevated end of the plane is about twelve feet high and gradually slopes to the ground, making distance of eighty feet. The upper surface is dressed and polished with floor dressing which gives it glossy appearance. Upon this surface the boys place their toboggans and receive swift ride down the incline. The boys have made their own toboggans Tn the manual training department. and each day some boy thinks of an improvement in construction which makes his slide the fastest. Most of the toboggans are about a foot long and the same width as the slide. Cleats are fastened to the sides to keep them on the track
 Such Improvements as this. and others that have been placed in the school yard this year is a great help to the progress and discipline of the school as they keep the children busy and contented. They are as ray of sunshine on cloudy day

Jas. Kennedy for Sheriff

The office of sheriff is one of the most important to the taxpayers of any in the gift of the voters of the county. James Kennedy is a can. didate. for the position, and if he is chosen as the nominee of the dem- ocratic party at the primaries, his opponent on the other side of the political fence will have to do some lively hustling to defeat him, for "Jim" is an old campaigner and knows how to win when he Ia after the office. He will make an excel lent sheriff. and his friends are working hard for his success.

JOLLY PARTY VISITS
 BILL WILLIAMS SUMMIT
(Contributed.)

Last sunday large party o1 na' ture lovers wended their way to the imposing and majestic summit oi Bill Williams mountain, where they remained fol. many hours. After reaching what is known az the sad dle they partook of sumptuous lunch, fixed up by the ladies, be- fore making the final ascent to the grandest view point in Coconino county.
 The party consisted of Prof. and Mrs. Cureton and son Miles. MT. and Mrs. Willoughby, Mrs. Hayes, Judge Holub, Miss Sughrue, Miss Gravelle, Miss Daggs, Miss Vernaz, MT. Miller and MT. Goode.
 To the party, of course the per sonnel is the story of an enjoyable time, and from what we can learn. they sure had it. MT. Miller and Prof. Cureton spared themselves but little when it come to showing and explaining to the ladies what each and every land mark stood for, and it's relative interest to the whole grand panoramic scene as stretched out before them. Goode stepped out of his way, it is said, to sing a few good old Irish songs for the special benefit of the ladies; yet we can't help but think, as we sit here and write this and listen to the notes fall due around the bank of Arizona, that the latter of the two are the sweetest and most entertain ing. Pardon, my dear sir, for we don't mean anything harsh-but you'don't look like songster to us
 Judge Holub, it is said, made his very best efforts in the way of a campaign speech with his eyes; this, understand, was addressed more to the ladies than the com mon voters.
 MT. WilloughbY was quiet and gentle to a marked degree; he had no axe to grind, az his wife was along.
 Shall we say anything about the ladies, other than that they were as fine bevy of intelligent and socia. ble women as lover of beauty and amiability could ever imagine be- ing together.
 There are many other interesting points that we are compelled to omit on account of lack of space. but we will close by saying that those not accustomed to horses had a sore spot or two the next day.

ELKS' DAY AT THE
 TERRITORIAL. FAIR

Phoenix, Arizona It has been definitely decided that Elks' Day at the territorial fair is to be the biggest success of any day hereto. fore furnished for the amusement and entertainment of the thousands of persons who will visit the big November show.
 Included in the events will be various contests, the prizes being silver cups for the lodges of the state which make the best showing, and a big ball to be held in the evening, down town. This ball, it is declared, will be made the most gorgeous affair of the entire social season, and the bellies of Arizona can therefore lock forward to a "doings" this winter, the like of which it has not been their pleasure to adorn with their presence.
 On Wednesday of fair week con ference of Elks will be held at the Elks' opera house for the purpose of discussing the formation of a state organization. There has new CT been anything of this nature in Arizona Elkdom, and it has been many times sadly missed. The or ganization is not to be confused in the public mind with state grand lodge, such as the Masons and many other secret societies have. There is no such organization in Elkdom as a state grand lodge, and the grand lodge of Elks will not recog- nize the state organizations.
 Whether good old ranch butter excels Arizona crea mery brands will be decided in a novel contest to be held at the fair grounds during the week of the territorial fair to be held here the second week in November. The fair commission has offered a prize of $50 for the best ten pounds of butter, the score being on the fol- lowing points: flavor, 45; giain and body. 25; color. 15; salting. 10, and package 5. Other prizes for cheese, milk and cream and. con- densed milk are offered but the but ter prize is attracting the most at tention.
