Seen a Ghost

One of the most CHASTITY scenes that
one has ever witnessed in this neck
of the woods was viewed by the
campers in the Knepper grove up
brady gulch last Wednesday even
ing. About ten o'clock when the
little party sitting around the camp
fire began to retire, someone looked
up into the woods and low there
was some kind of an object climbing
a tree. 1t was white as snow and
went up the tree a couple OF times
and one OF the boys threw club
and hit it. For a short time it was
not seen until all at once a tedious
yell escaped from somewhere, and
this same white object was seen 60
Ing up the side of the hill moaning in
a wierd tone. After going short way
up the hill it again went into a tree
and disappeared as mysteriOusly as 1T
came. Old timers in town the next
morning claim that 1t has been seen
there several years ago about this
time In the month OF August, and
then about a week later 1t came
again and has never been seen since
until last night. Now the ladies OF
the Presby terrain church have decid-
ed to have .&watch meeting Tor its
coming SO they have decided accord
ing to the story of it's returning In a
week. They will have a big corn
bake In the grove by the cold spring,
and they will charge ten cents ad-
mittance to the grounds on Wednes-
day evening, August 14th. This will
entitle you to one ear OF corn and
two wieners. Attractions OF other
natures will be on hand and If you
don't get your moneys worth, go to
the box office and get your money
back. Autos will take the people
wishing to ride out for small sun
of ten cents.

The first of the week Long and Son
purchased u fifteen months old steer
of Chris Meyers, which dressed out
five hundred and forty pounds. 1t
was of the red short horn type of
cattle. This goes to show that if
you breed for good stock the price
received by the cattle weighing
heavy, pays better than raising
some scrub stock that will not weig h
out to good advantage.

TRAIN DERAiLED.

A southbound Santa Fee freight

rallied mine cars The freight crew
was uninjured. When viewing the
wreck they heard the faint cries of

engine flying to Prescott for more
aid and shoveling force.

END OF BACk-HAUL RATES.

Those back-haul rates have been
abolished, according to a press dis
patch from Washington. The long
tattle for fair freight rates seems to
be drawing to a favorable close. The

the commerce court, but the railroads
nave drawn their new rates in com

merce ruling.
The new schedules prepared by the
railroads raise the rates on numer-

graded back so that the interior cit
les are placed on an equal basis with
The coast terminals with the addi-

ly has capital been poured on large

southwest.
DIR. Dorsey and his associates have
secured i'm the neighborhOod of 1000
acres of land lying near mdio and
Coachella. They are at present grow
ing some other crops with consider
able success. This spring they Sc
cured several hundred offshoots from
large importation shipped i'm at
that time. Now they have contracted
of expert importers, for enough more
to make plantation of 5000 palms.
The palms already here are of the
Deglet Moor variety, which comes
from Africa. The larger shipment to
come next spring will come from the
Persian gulf. At this latter place
some of the most famous dates of the
world are grown. The Khalasa date,
grown near the city of HofhOOf, lin
the principally of Ell Hasa, is the
fauorite date of the Arabs. They have
many songs and ballads in honor of
it's delightful flavor.

cule a large quantity of offshoOtS of
this highly priced palm.

There is an unusual number oil
new settlers dropping into the var

east to Harvard on the Salt Lake,
and Newberry ON the Santa Fe.
Everything indicates that this IAN

of settlers to this section we have
ever seen. AS high as $l5 per acre
has been paid for ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF
unimproved land and patented land rs

Fifteen land seekers have been
seen at Minneola in one day. The

APPEALS FOR PROTECTION.

Ell PASO, Texas, Aug 1.-Scores
of messages have been sent to Wash
ington from FL PaSo and other Dor
der towns, appealing to the United
States to take some steps which will
secure protection for Americans i'm
Mexico. I'm many instances messages
are being sent in the name of en-
tire communities, as in THE case from
Maria, yesterday, to Congressman
w. r. Smith. The message said THAT
if the United States could not handle
the Mexican situation let Presidio
county handle it. The appeals, i'm
most cases, are being sent to con-
gressmen and senators but in some
instances have been directed to the
White House.
The arrival last might of two
train loads of refugees from the Nor
mon colonies at Bachuca, Chuclupa

pROSPECTOR is INSANE.

ceascless search for gold, John Doc
little, an aged prospector, was We'd
nesday morning committed to the
state asylum for the insane.
Months and years in the hills, with
no companion save a burro, have un-
hinged Doolittles mind, till now he
thinks he lis to be killed for some
sin he committed far i'm the past.
He imaeines that he is marked for
pun ishment and that he cannot e5-
cape his fate, says a Phoenix paper.
noolittle arrived in Phoenix from
his claims i'm the Cave Greek district
several days ago He told friends
that he had had some trouble about
them and was so wildly incoherent in
his statements THAT he was charged
with insanity. Wednesday he had a
hearing before Superior Judge PHIL
lips. Two doctors decided that he
was insane burt not beyond recovery
and he was sent to the asylum. Fl
will not be a long time, however, pc

TROUBLES FOR KINNEY BILL.

PHOENIX, Ariz., July 30.-Even
under the extremely liberal constitute
ton placed upon the initiative stat
ute by Assistant Attorney General
ney bill, there is every reason to be-
lieve that that measure is not out
of the woods yet Not only is there
the argument recently filled against
it by Teodoro Olea, which is GER
tain to be widely discussed before
the November election, but there is
the chance of numerous other COM
plicatiOns in addition to that, re-
garding which the attorney general
has rendered his opinion. 1t lis a
we'll known fact that in more than
one particular the signing of the in
itiative petitions are far from being
regular in form; and while it is con-
ceivable these petitions may be with
in the law there is also the chance
that they may not be. And with the
welfare of many thousands of people,
as we'll as the welfare of large bust
ness interests at stake, it lis not to
be supposed that every probable IL
legality will not be urged against
the validity of the bill, even should
it be ratified by the voters at the
coming election.

The Labor Problem.
"a knowledge of irrigation is not
absolutely essential as the govern
ment keeps practical farmer ON each
project to advise newcomers. A ne
cent innovation on several projects
are the demonstration farms, where
the government grows crops best
suited to that section. These are a
great help to newcomers. During
portions of the year Uncle Sam gives
employment to settlers in building
canals, laterals, and roads, which t.
another great help, especially during
the first two or three years, the
most trying period of home-making
i'll the west.
1.-The most difficult problem the
government had to solve in reclaim
ing the great Southwest was the la
Dor question The ordinary laborer
did not like the job, because he could
not spend his money fast enough. 1t
was a government reservation where
mitted, and no towns nearer than
sixty miles, so the labOrer did not
look with favor on the work The
real worth of the engineer came out
when he turned missionary and he'd
a pOW-wOW with the Apache Indians,
who lived in the basin for genera
TONS. 1t seems incredible, yet it is
nevertheless true, that that engineer
succeeded in inducing several h.
dred Apache Indians to so ON the Pay
roll and largely through their labor

BUB'S OPINION.

My dad he sets upon the fence
An chaws, an Whittles sticks
With everybody comes along
Attacking politics;
While ma, she chops the klndlin
wood,
Cause I'm too little, see!
An scrubs the floor, an washes up
The family lingerie.
My dad, he says the poor man 8 go
No chance, an never had;
No matter how you cast your vote
The times is jest as bad
But still it looks to me as II
'Twould help a lot to jerk
The country up the hill again
If dad would go to work.
