The Farmers Will Have No
Trouble This Year

Remembering the difficulty
which the individual farmers eN-
perienced last year in obtaining
motors for driving their irrigating
pumps. we called on the new Flee
trio Company and inquired with re-
gard to conditions in this matter
during the present season.
We find that the Company has
foreseen this objection ~ the in
stalation Of their power for these
purposes and that they have antici-
pated the requirements of the irri-
gators inasmuch as they now have
fourteen motors of the sizes most
generally used in the Mimbres Val.
lev On the road 10 Deming. These
motors are manufactured by tho
General Electric Company and are
similar in construction TO thos,
which have been installed IN the
two plants of the Little Vineyard.
Co.
Zach one Of these motors is com
ing equipped with a no-yoltage re-
leasa auto starter and overload ol
switch, or circuit breaker.
The advantage of this equipment

THE oLD-TIME VILLAIN

| have read i million stories pub

have not seen a villain worth tink-
er's ribald jeers. He's a milk and
water villain, is the modern, cheap
John knave; you'd mistake him for
the hero if he had bath and shave
| am yearning for the villain Of the
olden, gcllen lime, who would
tighten his suspenders and go wad-
ing deep in crime. He would muir
der folks for vengeance, he would
slaughter them for cash, and his
eyes shot baleful chances, and he
had a black mustache. He was mod
eled after Manfred, on whom Byron
placed a wreath, and when nothing
else was doing he was crashing of
his teeth, and he uttered bitter
curses, and he moved around in
gloom, and he kept the h9arses
busy hauling people to the tomb.
He would stick you with Il dagger,
he would brain you with his staff,
and he always did his murders with
loud and mirthIess laugh. For
time the villain triumphed, as a
villain always should, and he seemed
to have a toe-hold on the hero, truly
good; but the good old-fashioned
novel always ended right side up,
and it left the villain drinking retri-
button from cup. Oh, the good
old swarthy villain of the good old
breezy days. He and all his gifted
authors long ago have gone their

ALASKA PIONEERS
AID BEN ATWATER

Some time ago the Pioneer had re-
port about Ben Atwater, an old Alaska
pioneer, having accidentally shot him
self in the hand in the Takotna region
last tall. When the accident became
known Horny Roden wrote about it to
the Alaska Pioneers at Fairbanks and
q few days ago he received r message
through the N. G. GO. informing h i m
that the Fairbanks and Dawson Pho
neers had wired $500 to him for At
water. This money has been trans
f-rred by MIR. Roden to the N C. post
at Takotna, where Ben now is, and it
no doubt will come in handy in his
hour OF distress. 1t is pleasant to note
that while the federal governments does
nothing in such cases the oldlimers Of
the country can ever be relied upon to
jump into the breach and render as
sistance whore needed.

N. C.'S
REPEAT

In the basketball game last night
the N. C.'s repeated their victory OF
the previous week by score OF % to 7.
The score does not indicate the game,
the A. BIS in general work seeming
to surpass the N. c. s.; but they played
in extremely bad luck, missing baskets
by the narrowest of margins.
The game was hard fought through
out, even bordering on viciousness and
many fouls being called; but this is
accounted for by the extreme fast play.
as general good spirit seemed to pre-
vail. 1t was the best game yet seen in
ldltarod, the spectators all avow, and
surely the noise of the roofing would
testify as much.
In the first half it seemed for awhile
that neither team would score many
points, as the defensive work OF each
was apparently equal to the offensive
work of the other. Finally Fowler
broke the spell with neat throw and
followed it instantly with another,
whereupon Wolfe became envious and
threw one, the half finally ending with
the score to in the N. c. faver.
The A. B. rooters did not yet lose
heart. for they knew their favorites
we're playing Il superIative game and
continued to cheer them on, but to no
avail. The Goddess of Luck had turned
her back on hem.

a DIE; 26 HURT IN WRECK
Passenger Train Plunges Into River
When Bridge Near Camp Douglas,
Wis.,, Is Washed Away.

Camp Douglas, Wis, Sept. 4.-Four
persons were killed in the wreck Of
passenger train No. 10 on the Chicago,
ST. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha rail-
road, which plunged into the Lemon
weiter river near Camp Douglas at
FIVE o'clock Monday morning
Every car, including the sleepers,
with passengers still lin their berths,
was hurled into the stream, whose wa
tiers, augmented by the cloudburst of
the previous night, had made it a tor
rent.
The accident was due to the Wash
ing away of bridge over which the
train had passed safely a short time
before. The train was tagged at
Tunnel because a washout farther on
had made the track impossible, and
was ordered back to Camp Douglas SO
that the passengers might breakfast.
Meanwhile, the flooded Lemonweiter
had tori away the bridge and, I'M
warned the engineer could not stop his
train in ii emit osave it from plunging
over the brink. Many of the injured
are women and children on holiday
trips.
