ODD FELLOWS PICNIC

The picnic held on Labor Day
in Duncan by the Odd Fellows of
Morenci seemed to be a pleasant
and enjoyable affair for them.
Quite a crowd came down in the
morning, accompanied by the
band, and remained until about
midnight, a special train arriving
then to take them home. A bar
becue had been arranged for
them which amply replenished
the inner man about the hour of
noon.
A baseball game came off in
the afternoon with the best play
ers of the Duncan team and the
Franklin team combined into one
against the Morenci boys. At
the close of the game the score
stood 7 to 3 in favor of the val
ley boys. In the evening music
and dancing began lasting until
the call for home came. We trust
they all returned happy with the
feeling of a day well spent.
Come again, the latchkey of
Duncan hangs on the outside.

Hayden Introduces Bill
Appropriating Five Thou
sand Dollars For Expert
menting In Feeding And
Breeding Big Birds.

Congressman Carl Hayden has
introduced the following bill, in
aid OF growing Arizona indus
try. 1t is self-explanatory and
shows that Mr.. Hayden is over
looking no opportunity to secure
favor for Arizona.
A bill appropriating five thous-
and dollars for the improvement
OF the ostrich industry.
Whereas, there was imported
into the United States during the
fiscal year ending June thirtieth,
1911, ostrich feathers valued at
sob, 778 dollars and SOC; and
Whereas, according to the cen
sus of 1910, there were 5316 os-
triches in the United States, val
ued at one million; and
Whereas it has been demonstrat-
ed that the southwestern states of
the United States are we'll adap
ed to ostrich raising, and that if
the ostrich industry is properly
encouraged it will be possible to
produce large part of the os-
trich feathers which are used in
the United States: Therefore.
Be it enacted by the senate and
house of representatives of the
United States of America assem-
bled, that the sum of $4,000, or
so much thereof as may be nee
essary, is hereby appropriated.

EQUAL SUFFRAGE
CAMPAIGN STARTED

Phoenix, Ariz.. - In one of
the centrally located down town
buildings in the capital CITY.
headquarters of the Arizona f.
quail Suffrage Central Commit
tee are to be opened the coming
week, the initial step of the state
wide campaign for political eoua-
lity. When the proposed amend
ment to the constitution is voted
upon November 5th., it is the OBJ
Ject OF the Arizona women who
believe equal suffrage will ben
eft the state and home to have
it pass by an overwhelming mai
ority.
That they are awake and ready
to demand their civic responsible
ity is demonstrated in the eager
ness with which they are offering
their services to do any and all
work in the strenuous campaign
which is being mapped out by
Mrs. Francis Mund of Prescott,
chairman of the central commit
tee and one of the best known
and most ardent suffragists of
the southwest.
First, last and always suffer-
age is to be argued and preached.
Prominent among those who will
assist in carrying out the pro-
gram is Laura Gregg Cannon,
formerly of Arizona but more
recently of Los Angeles where
she was a notable worker and
whose efforts did much toward
granting California women their
enfranchisement.
Mrs. Cannon is admittedly one
of the most brilliant speakers
and best informed women of the
day. She is scheduled to arrive
early in September, shortly after
which her speaking dates will be
announced. She will discuss in
full why women want the ballot.
and how, as citizens, they wish
to do their civic duty.
While the mass meetings will
be strong factors in the arrange
ments, organization will receive
paramount attention.
Every woman will be urged to
take her part in securing equal
suffrage for Arizona. Every
precinct will be organized.
Every chance to spread the suf-
frage gospel will be grasped.
Society, club and business wo-
men with unassuming house
wives will unite to give their
best efforts to obtain the ballet.
There will be speeches, house to
house canvasses and even ''but-
ton holing" for the votes for
women cause. The desired re-
suit, the leaders declare is to be
achieved primarily by women for
while support will come from the
men, in the women must be the
initiative.

WOULD HAVE CITY CLERK
ACT AS TAX COLLECTOR

"A resolution introduced by
President Osborn at the last meet
ing Of the city council and passed
by the unanimous vote of all al
dermen with the exception of AL
derman Staff, looks toward a
change in the place of payment of
taxes by the appointment of the
city clerk as a deputy county
treasurer for the collection of
same, and is based on the fact that
through the records Of special as
sessments against city property
on file in his office he is in posi-
ton to care for such collections
correctly. The resolution as
adopted reads as follows:
"Whereas, the city clerk is re-
CURED to maintain in his office a
record of special assessments and
furnish statements therefor,
1t is hereby resolved by the
Guy council OF the city OF Vir-
ginia that the county treasurer
of st. Louis county is hereby re-
quested to designate the city
clerk of Virginia, Mimi, as a dep
uty for the purpose Of furnishing
tax statements and receiving
county taxes for the city of Vir-
ginia at his office in the city hall
building, and that this request be
acted upon as soon as possible.
"Resolved further, that the
county treasurer specify as to
bonds to be furnished by the city
clerk covering the collection of
such taxes, and establish such
rules as may be proper for the
payment and remittance of such
taxes as may be paid to the city
clerk.''

INDIANS WIPE OUT BEAVER
Dynamite Dam in Northern .Itasca
County, Let. Water Out and
Slaughter 100 Animals in the
Pool.

The settlers in the Popple River
district Of northern 1tasca county
are incensed over the extermina-
ton OF a colony Of beaver by a
tribe Of Drumbeater Indians, &C.
cording to c. R. Pringle of St.
Louis.
1.-Two years ago." said Mr..
Pringle, "a band Of about fifty
beavers settled on the Popple riv-
er. They commenced the erection
OF a dam and stripped the river
bank clear Of young trees on ei-
ther side distance of about 300
yards. When completed the dam
was about 100 feet long, 4 feet
wide and 6 to 12s feet in depth.
1t raised the water above the dam
about 6 inches.
1.-The colony Was not molested
IN any way, it being a tacit agree
ment among the settlers that they
were not to be disturbed, as there
are so few left in the county, and
the tribe increased until the num-
Der was estimated at $50.
1.-The Indians in the neighbour
hood were also warned to keep
away from the animals, and did so
until about two weeks ago. They
were in strightened circumstances
all winter and when the thaw
came most Of them were destitute
Of food.
"To obtain the necessary sup
plies one of the Indians went to
town with what few skins were
on hand and exchanged them for
dynamite.
"Do you know what those red
skins did? They blew up the
beaver dam, killed it's inhabitants
and before the settlers could in
terfere took the green hides to
Hibbing and disposed of them for
a good round sum-.
