CAREER BEGAN IN TT. WORTH
Raw Manager Is Remembered
With Joy in X. C.
Fair Fan Here Would Wed Joe
Crisp.

Topeka fans are not INDUCING in
pennant dreams, as are the bugs in a
number of Western league towns this
spring. They want a first division con-
tender and believe Gear will give it
to them. But Topeka's new manager
has been associated with four pen
nant winners during his career in
professional baseball and his clubs
have always given a good account of
themselves.
The first pennant winner on which
he played was the Cleveland team in
the National league. This was in the
baseball days which the older fans
recall with pleasure and term the
best when arguments arise. He had
been sent up from Fort Worth where
he broke into professional ball. Pat
Sey Tebeau was the manager Gear
pitched and played in the outfield.
The next year he was sent to Kan
sas City. This was in 1898. He pitch
ed and played in the outfield on that
team and y on the pennant by his
pitching and hitting. Then he went
to the Washington team in the Amer
lean league, where he remained one
season. He returned to Kansas City
the next year and was with that club
the seasons of 1902, 1908 and 1904.
The next year he managed a club in
LittlS Rock and from there he went
to Birmingham. After winning a
pennant in Birmingham he went to
Shreveport, where he managed that
club for three years. Last year he
went to Austin and won the pennant
after a hair raising finish that took
the other teams in the league off their
feet He hasn't pitched since 1904.
Topeka hasn't had a bad report OF
any nature about Gear since the men
whose money is behind baseball here
signed him.
There have been number of reports
but they are all in his favor.

Strong Demand for
 Bryan and Wiley

The Cabinet slate makers are busy every minute in the twenty-four hours, and "whilt favorite sons" are put forward by every state, there are two names that appear in most calculations made up by wise but unprejudiced guessers. These names are William Jennings Bryan and Doctor Harvey Wiley, and one is evi- dently a popular choice for Secretary of State while the other is scheduled by his ad-
 nirers for the portfolio of Agriculture.

While the agent was selling farm machinery at the house, the friend at the gate held his horse and a conversation took place with the small boy of the family.

 The boy was positive, but to make sure: Ma" he called, "Ain't 1 just nine years old?'
 "Yes, son."
 After time he ventured, Say, mister. what made you think 1 was more than nine years old?"

He suggests plan to atmit former Presidents, for mer e-Presidents and for mer Speakers of the House ol Representatives to the floor of the two Houses, with the privilege to speak upon any question. "What will we do with our ex-Presidents?" He would recommend chloro- form. He disagreed with the suggestions of Mir.

The Fourth Class Postmaster

When President Wilson gees into office he will hnd a tremendous pressure for him to revoke the order of his pre- decessor placing fourth class postmasters Ill the classified service. The Democrats in Washington are talking loud ly of patronage, and declare that the civil service has been greatly overdone. While they will doubtless continue to re- Cognize the principle, It Is quite sure they will break loose all the government po- sitions they find to be con- sistently available for mem bers of their own party.

Denounces Mail-Orderism

That the mail order evil is grow ing is evidenced in that the Wis consin Press Association at it's recent convention at Madison, Wis. recognized in it a subject worthy of discussion. The Wis consin editors declared that mail order buying is a disease that is seriously affecting the economic system of the entire country.
 One of the speakers who at tackled the mail order institutions was Edgar Taylor Wheelock, editor of Business Ethics. He described the mail order houses as institutions injurious to the welfare of the country publisher, and as forming an economic prob lem that must be fought bitterly by the editors of the country towns. He said further:
 Any commercial system that takes out of the local channels of business capital which is required to do the legitimate business of the community is injurious to the local publisher. A system that takes from the business men of the community enough of their trade to cripple them and which prevents the development of strong industrial and social orga- nization of the community of necessity must affect adversely the country publisher.
 Mail order trading does all this and it is a disease that has attacked our economic system. The congestion of population in large cities and the decadence of small towns and cities of the country, with frenzied demands upon legislatures for radical statutes of all kinds, are tending toward the drawing up in line of battle for the war of classes that is approaching. Some say our present system of production and distribution is illogical and con- tributes to many of the evils that afflict society, but they are wrong when they propose a political remedy for commercial made quacy.

On the National FG
 State of Arizc
For a number of years

For a number of years
 per cent of the gross income
 the National Forests of Ariz
 has been returned to the State t> distribution by the Legislature among the various counties, to be expended for the support of roads and schools. The Agricultural Appropriation Bill for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1913, pro- vided that an additional ten per centum of all moneys received from the National Forests during the fiscal year ending June 30th. 1912, shall be available at the end thereof, to be expended by the Secretary of Agriculture for the construction and maintenance of roads and trails within the Ma tional Forests in the States from which such proceeds are derived: : but the Secretary of Agriculture may, whenever practicable, in the construction and maintenance of such roads, secure the cooperation or aid of the proper State or Ter ritorial authorities in the further ance of any system of highways of which such roads may be a part. ;
 This item, it will be seen, pro- vides a special fund which is aside from and in addition to the 25 per cent returned to the State and the regular appropriation for Nation al Forest improvements. In ac- cordance with the law above quo ted and the policy of the Secre- tary of Agriculture, plans have been made to spend this special fund entirely on road construc- tion and maintenance for the ben eft of the public. The fund has been distributed among number of projects throughout the Ma tional Forests of Arizona, which it is believed will prove of the greatest benefit to the people at large. Before making these allot- ments, the matter was taken up with the Governor of Arizona, so ftRat the public value of the i'm provements would be assured and the funds placed to the best ad- vantage.
 A total of $22. 645. 75 is the sum available for expenditure under the 10 per cent item in that DOT ton of Arizona which lies south of the Grand Canyon and is in District Three of the Forest Ser vice. Of this amount, $2S00 has been allotted to work within the Apache National Forest; $500 is to be spent immediately on about 12 miles of the Ocean-to-Ocean Highway where this highway crosses the Apache Forest be- ,ween Springerville and Sheep Springs. County authorities and others locally interested in the good roads movement are coope- rating enthusiastically in the con 5truction of this road and it is hoped to complete the portion in the Forest before snow flies. The 'emaining 5000 allotted to the Apache will be spent on approXi- mately 8 miles of road between Bigelow Crossing on the Little Colorado River and the top of the White Mountains.
 To the adjoining Forest. the Sitgraves, $2, 465.77 has been al Iotted, which will be apportioned between several projects. About B1200 of the total will he spent in improving the road between Hol- brook and Fort Apache, $200 in making some necessary repairs to he Pinedale- Snowflake Road and $500 in similar work on the road between Holbrook and Pleasant
Holbrook argus., 1912-12-03
road between Salt River and

Pleasant Valley. After this work has been completed, it is expect ed that a passable road will be provided from Salt River through the Tonto Basin and across the Mongollon Mesa to Holbrook.
 The allottments to the Coconino and Tusayan Forests amount to a total of SIP, 600, which will be spent in completing the highway between Flagstaff and Williams. The expenditure of this relatively large amount on these two For ests is justified by the fact that they furnish a correspondingly large proportion of the total re- ceipts from the Arizona Forests as a result of the large sales of timber now in progress on them. The people of Coconino County have been spending as much of their funds as possible on this highway and are very anxious to see it put in good shape to SUD- port the heavy traffic between the two principal towns of the county. It is not likely that work can be commenced on this pro ject until spring. In the mean time, plans will be made for the work, which will be put in charge of a competent engineer of the Forest Service.
 $1, GOO has been allotted to the Coronado Forest for expenditure on four miles of proposed road, which, when completed, will give direct communication between the Camille country and Fort Hu- achuca. It is anticipated that this will be of great advantage to large number of ranchmen who live in that part of the coun- try, and who now have to make a long detour via Elgin in order to reach Fort Huachuca. While the Forest Service funds available are not sufficient to complete the road, it is expected that consid- erable cooperation will be fur nished by those locally interested and also that the authorities at Fort Huachuca will render valua- ble assistance in constructing that portion of the road which lies within the Military Reservation. | On the Crook National Forest | $1, 800 will be spent; $500 of this will be devoted to building a sub stitute for that portion of the fla nous Apache Leap Trail near Su- perior, Arizona. This trail is used extensively by travellers between the Globe district and Superior, but the last few miles just before reaching Superior are dangerous and in fact nearly impossible. It is hoped to accomplish a consid- erable improvement with the funds available. $500 will be spent in improving that portion of the road up Frye Canyon in the Ora ham Mountains which lies within the Forest. This road is much used by the people of the Gila Valley in reaching their summer homes in the mountains and in hauling timber from the Forest. | The remaining $1S0 will be devo- ted to assisting the county in re pairing the road between the Gi- Ia Valley and Sulphur Springs Valley across the south end of Mt. Graham.
 On the Chiricahua National Forest, in the extreme southeast ern corner of the State. $500 will be divided between the improve ment of a road through Tex Can yon and Fucker Canyon connect ing the Sulphur Springs and the San Simon Valley and a road up Cave Creek, both of which will be of considerable benefit to the l nconlc of that ,.cni0n
