IN DIFFICULTIES.

The Humboldt Mining & Milling
company, which recently purchased a
secondhand Huntington mill and
brought it into Whipple Wash is i'm
difficulties. 1t is stated that two
attachments for labor claims have
been levied against the property, and
d number of men returning to Parker
early in the week say that they have
been unable to get their wages.
Frank G.. Miller of Humboldt, Kans.
Is president of the company. He
was in Parker about two weeks ago,
and Il is stated that at that time he
decided to throw up the proposition.
However, the men were kept at work
and new labor claims aggregating
about $4,000 are awaiting payment.
Mr.. Miller is an ice dealer and he is
said to be worth considerable money.
The men who have been working for
the company are wondering why he
does rot come through with their
wages 1t is likely that other attach
ments will be levied ON the mill if
the men are not paid Within the
next few days

AS it is, the lands are not taxable
and amy such development would
make them valuable. Somebody with
money would come along and buy
some of us poor DEVILS out, and what
good would that do us? We don't
know what money is, and we believe
in the old adage which says, ''Where
ignorance is bliss, tits folly to be
wise,' and i'm this instance it would
be great wrong to create any false
ideas on such an innocent lot
of suckers. If we were fools enough
to ever believe that our CD govern
ment meant anything by word or
promise, except when made to some
political boss, We deserved to be
taught a lesson that will last through
life
Another thing. A dam will have to
be built ON this "Silvery Colorado
and it will cause the expenditure of
several millions of dollars that are
safer and less harmful back in the
vaults of New York, and somebody
would naturally want show for their
money back instead of doing at for
nothing and dying poor themselves,
and it lis not right that they should
expect it. besides the damming OF
this river and using some of its flood
waters ait this thine of the year might
interfere with the old river taking its
annual rampage and washing out the
dykes down at our little neighbour
ing town of Blythe, which if it did
not occur, might cause them to wax
fat and forget what they owe the
Lord, and at the same time it would
deprive that imaginative San Ber-
nardino correspondent to the Los An
geles papers of a subject on which to
having to fight side -winders' for
standing room out ON the mesaaS, etc.
We also believe in NATURE, and
as it lis this reservation is an admir-
able home for rattlesnakes, coyotes,
and mosquitoes of the Bill Taft type
of build.
There are some people who are
fools enough to come to this country
and try to make home hsere, thereby
proving themselves not ''competent"
to be judges of their own welfare, as
against the opinion of some social
istic outsiders, who are, SO therefore
we advise our legislators and all
other state and national officers to
heed their "howling" and let things
alone, for fear some mistake might
be made and the reservation might
be opened by the coming of the sec
cond generation of our actual settlers

To whomsoever it may concern:-
We, the people of Parker, having toll

four long years and being we'll advis-
ed of the conditions that exist at
this time, beg leave to make a state
ment and protest against the efforts
that are being made by many inter
ested in the town of Parker, and the
surrounding country, to open said
reservation to settlement.
If this reservation were opened to
settlement, it would provide homes
for some four thousand families,
which would induce these families to
leave other communities where they
are doing we'll enough, and the.
would want to establish homes here
which would cause the expenditure
many thousands of dollars, Ghereb
furnishing employment for a numbs-
of working people, carpenters, brick.
layers, ETC., who would also come
to this country and deprive some com
munity of their workmanship and

work.
Besides, the merchants of thi3
country might be able to supply theG
new people with groceries and cloth
ing and by so doing make a htt,

people do not pay any taxes into the
state treasury, thereby creating a

islators to sit too many days during
this nice warm weather at $500 per,
while they could be at home play
ing checkers with some lonesome pal
who was not so fortunate as to knock
down so rich CD a plum.
Also, it will create about $20,000,-
0h0 taxable property for the state to
squander the proceeds of. 1t will
cause some blooded plutocrats with
tainted money to come in here and
survey and build railroad through
this land for its development and the
convenience of the people, who have
too easy time as it is now and
ought to be made to travel as our
fOrefatherS did, with OX4teamS, and
be compelled by the absence of cheap
transportation to sell their produce
for less and do away with the high
cost of living, among themselves.

FAXON WILL BOLT.
Garden City Telegram Comes Out
Square for Thompson.

Following in the wake of the under
current over Kansas against Governor
Stubs candidacy for United States
senator, the first Republican newspaper
in the state to declare it's support radi-
cally for Democrat is the Garden City
Telegram This undercurrent is the
constant talk among the standpat Re
publicans to the effect that all the fol-
lowers of Charles Curtis will vote for
the Democratic nominee for senator
Judge Thompson.
Ever since the announcement that
Curtis was defeated in the primaries,
the Taft men in the state have signi-
fed their intention of voting for a
Democrat giving as an excuse the
theory that Stubs, as a Bull Mooser,
was not a real Sure-enough Republi-
can.
Now comes the Garden City Tele-
gram, always a strong Republican sheet
in western Kansas, edited by Ralph
Faxon and promises its support tc
Judge Thompson.
The editorial follows:
1.-The Telegram, a radical Republican
paper, one which has swallowed many
bitter doses, including that Of Bristow
four years ago and Stubs two and
four years ago, is for William H.
THOMPSON, of Garden City, for United
States senator.
1.-The reason for this is that there is
no Republican candidate for the sena-
torship.
This being the case, doubtless there
are many other Republican newspapers
which will support, under the circum-
stances, a Democrat for the position.
THE Democratic candidate, Judge
Thompson, is a home man. He is
clean, capable, energetic, and if sent tc
congress will undoubtedly do much to
further the cause of this Good Old
Town and of western Kansas. The
Telegram has no apologies to make in
its support of Judge Thompson.
Boss Stubs is not a Republican.
If he had not espoused the Bull Moose
cause and were not supporting Theo
dore Roosevelt for the presidency
which is quite enough in itself for
disapprobation and nonsupport, the

Who Killed Fish.

Stotts this morning, referring to the
latest act of vandalism, the second de-
struction of the fish Wednesday night
in the Central park ponds. "It ap-
pears to be pure cussedness on their
part-nothing more"
A large number of fish were de-
stroyed Tuesday.
The fish, like human beings, come to
the surface of the water after death.
Half a ton of them rose during the
night and have been carted away IN
wheelbarrows, examined and burned.
The explosion, which was accom-
plished by sinking a can of lime, was
discovered Wednesday morning. Com
missioner Stotts Immediately offered
$50 reward to the man supplying IN
formation concerning the persons who
killed the fish.
1t is the last in a series of distress
ing instances of intense cruelty to
animals. The eyes of the alligators in
Cages park were put out, valuable
pheasant was slaughtered. swan ana
a deer were destroyed. Beside this,
plants have been killed, and priceless
tress fatally injured.
City hall is righteously indignant
and the offenders will be energetically
bounded.
