A FINANCIAL SUCCESS.

The Arizona State Fair is over ex-
cept the checking out and the pay
ment of premiums in the various de-
partments. Enough is known, howev-
er, to know that the fair is a success
from a financial point of view and
there will be sufficient funds to pay
all the bills incurred.
A rough estimate places the receipt
and expenditures around $65, 900. The
commissioners were more liberal this
year in the various departments than
ever before and the response was
ready and prompt, resulting in one
of the greatest horse and cattle eX-
hibits ever made at an Arizona Fair.
The office force is busy checking
and paying off bills incurred and pre-
miums awarded. Secretary Wood says
that it will be several weeks before
everything can be checked out and
every effort is being made to mail out
all checks by the first of the month.
The smaller departments will be
checked out and paid off first, and
larger ones will follow Checks will
be mailed promptly and winners will
not be expected to call for
their money. However, if checks are
not received by the 3rd or 4th of next
month, kindly write the office and be
particular in giving the right ad-
dress and the exact award claimed.

DEATH OF MRS.
W.. G. MILLER
FORMER PARKER WOMAN PASS
ES AWAY AT GOLDROADS AF-
TER BRIEF ILLNESS-WAS BE-
HER.

At the home of Mrs Charles De-
trick at Goldroad, Arizona, Mrs. w.
G.. Miller a former resident of Par
ker died on Saturday night last, No
vember s.
Mrs. Miller's illness was very short
in duration. Mr.. Miller, after sue
cessful season in the restaurant busl-
ness, had disposed of his place, hav-
ing made preparations for a return
to his home in Chico, California,
for a winters vacation with Mrs. Mil
Ter. Mrs. Miller complained of a
slight indisposition and so their de-
parture was delayed for a few days.
This illness soon developed into a
serious affection of the heart and
Mrs. Miller was removed to a more
comfortable room i'm the home of Mrs
DERRICK
This was on Thursday of last week
and so rapid was Mrs. Miller's de-
cline that Dr. Bucher of Kingman
was summoned in consultation with
Dr. White, the attending physician.
Late Saturday afternoon oxygen was
administered which only prolonged
the patients life, as she passed on
at six o'clock in the evening.
When all hope was gone, even then
the end came suddenly-the family
and Mr. Miller were hardly seated
at the table for the evening meal
while Mrs. Detrick had relieved the
nurse at the bedside While in the
act of administering the oxygen Mrs.
Detrick realized she was breath
ing her last and hastily summoned
aid. But Mrs. Miller spoke her last
her bedside.
Mrs Miller was the daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs Evans of Chico, Cali
fornia she was married to w. G.
Miller, September q, 1909. Her aged
parents still reside at Chico and
also two brothers and an only sister
lives in Colorado.
A few months after their marriage
Mr. and Mrs Miller came to Parker
where they remained during the win
ter, Parker being their place of res
idence the greater part of the time
since, Mr.. Miller having some inter
ests and owning real estate here.
Those who remember Mrs Miller,r re
collect her as a woman of culture and
refinement and of a charming person
ality. She sought only the good in
life, spoke kindly Of everyone and en-
graved upon her heart onl the at
tributes of all whom she knew. SO she
was endeared to everyone and her
passing will leave void in many
hearts and a sorrow to all.
The sympathy of the entire com
munity and all her friends goes forth
in spontaneity to Mr. Miller and her
family for we have all suffered a loss
with them.
Mrs Miller will be buried from
her fathers home at Chico, Califor-
MIA during the week Definite ar
rangements for the funeral have not
yet been announced.

SURVEYORS REACHED BLYTHE.

The party of railroad surveyors in
charge of G. o. Bean which has been
running a preliminary line into the
valley reached Blythe this week
The party located several possible
lines across the summit and then
followed a course to the west of the
Blythe Junction road, coming into
the valley by way of Mccoy wash.
Mr.. Denair stated early in the week
that he had practically given up the
idea of running a line down the riv

COTTON CARNIVAL.

include program of sports, parade
and display of Palo Verde products

at the Chamber of Commerce meet

1t was suggested at the meeting
that the fiesta be called a cotton car

be the feature of the days events,

OF COTTON
FREIGHT TRAIN MADE UP OF
MULES, TRUCKS AND CATER
PILLAR HAUL OUT $1,000 WORT ~
OF STAPLE LAST WEEK..

BLYTHE, Calf, November A.
Four mule teams, two big Saurer
motor trucks, and a % ton Holt
caterpillar, all loaded to the gaurds
with Palo Verde cotton, $1,000 worth
of it, left Blythe for the railroad
Monday of last week.
The transportation problem of this
valley will eventually be solved
by a railroad, but in the meantime
it would be hard to imagine a better
solution than this big mule-and-gas-
power train, capable of hauling 100
bales of cotton at trip.
Floyd Brown, the owner of the out
fit, has contracted to haul a large
part of the cotton product this year
and has had his motor trucks
thoroughly overhauled. After this
trip the caterpillar . will run only
between the summit pass and
Blythe Junction. The motor trucks
and mule teams will haul it to the
transfer station beyond the summit
where loads will be taken on across
the sand by the caterpillar.
Mr.. Brown says he is equipped
to handle the staple as fOst as
it can be ginned Much work has been
done on the road recently, both motor
caterpillar has solved the sand prob
lem so that the cotton growers should
be enbaled this year to take advant-
age of top market prices.

festival and a program will be pub
lished at an early day.
The Ladies' improvement Club is
already planning a method of electing
cotton queen for the day and it
is likely that parade will be held,
the decorating to be done entirely
with cotton and cotton products, and
prize offered for the prettiest float
The matter of securing high
school for the valley was discussed
at length at the meeting last Sat
turday. A report made on the Riv-
erside fair display of the valley by
C. L. Suits, showed that Palo Verde
secured valuable publicity and that
our exhibit made an attractive show
ing.
Another meeting of the Chamber is
to be held Saturday night to com
plete arrangements for the cotton car

STRIKE AT LEVEE CAMP.

Seventeen laborers, mostly negroes,
employed by w. J. Harris on the
levee work southeast of Blythe, went
on strike last week when Nichols,
the timekeeper at camp, refused their
demands for shorter hours and other
concessions.
According to the strikers they were
docked an undue amount of time and
their wages were held back on them
longer than necessary. They COM
planned of the cooking.
Those in charge of the work stat
ed that those who quit were a bunch
of malcontents who were neither good
Workmen nor desirable citizens. They
had been picked up at Yuma and
other points on the Southern Pacific
as the grading outfit came through
from Texas three weeks ago.
Some of the men charged that
they had been driven away from the
camp with a six-shooter but it was
ascertained that the gun was strapp-
ed to the belt of Timekeeper Mich
OILS and that no threat had been made
to use it. The strikers retained J.
o. Phillips to represent them in an
effort to get back wages they claim
ed were due. w. J. Harris was not
present at thestime
Most of the strikers went to work
on the Burton grading outfit near
the headgate the latter part of the
week

MAY LOSE CLARKE.

G. K. Clarke, engineer and super
intendent for the Palo Verde Mutual
Water company since the first of
the present year, has resigned from
the service of the company. His res
ignation, it is understood, followed
a clash with nonresident directors
of the company over matters pertain
ing to the present levee construc-
ton.
Mr.. Clarke's resignation, which was
rendered October 6, is to become eff
fective next Saturday, November 16.
He had planned to have it become eff
fective at all earlier date, but re-
manned until this week to complete
a difficult piece of engineering which
he was directing at the intake.
The news of superintendent
Clarke's withdrawal came as sur
prise to the stockholders of the COM
pany. No man in a public position
was ever more popular than Mr..
Clarke and the efficient manner in
which he has handled the affairs of
the company has given him the re-
spect of every rancher in the valley.
At this writing no official action
has been taken by the directors in
the matter. Mr. Clarke stated, how
ever, that the matter was settled so
far as he is concerned and that while
he realized the spirit of the directors
was not the spirit of the ranchers
his resignation was the only possible
result of the attitude of some of the
directors.
The exact point at issue in the
controversy was a clause in the le
wee contract which left the settle
ment of all difficulties between Su-
rerintendent Clarke of the Water
company, and the contractors, to the
directors. This, Mr.. Clarke stated,
would greatly handicap him in getting
results in the work and that he was
to work under such han
dicap. Other minor points of differ
ence entered into the question
No announcement has been made
regarding a successor to the present
engineer

AWFUL ECZEMA ON FACE

Freeland, Md.-"Baby's eczema
started in little spots and would burst
and run all over his face and wher-
ever the water would touch his face,
it would make another sore. Pimples
would break out and make his face
sore and inflamed, and he was very
cross and fretful. 1t was awful. He
suffered tortures from it, and we had
to tie mittens on his hands to keep
him from scratching. A friend of mine
told me of the Cuticura Soap and ONT
ment and l went to a drug store and
bought them.
when we would battle his face with
the Cuticura Soap and apply the Cuti-
cura Ointment, he would be much bet
ter. He would wake up in the nights
and cry with his face and we would
put on some of the Cuticura Ointment
and then he would rest all night. They
have cured him completely Of tho
eczema" (Signed) Mrs, Harry Wright

Helping the Little Fellow.

The United Shoe Machinery Com.
pany is the only real obstacle to the
formation Of shoe trust. We help
the small manufacturer to start In
business and keep going. He could
not afford to buy and care for his ma
chimes, but he can afford to lease them
on the terms we give him based on
the number of shoes he makes-an
average Of less than 2.3 cents a pair
and let us keep them up to date.
That is a fair arrangement Some of
the big fellows don't like our system,
because they think we ought to give
them special rates. But the little fell
lows stand with US because they know
we treat all manufacturers alike no
matter how many machines they use.
II it were not for our methods Of doing
business there would be no small fac
tories anywhere and no prosperous
factories in small towns.

Some of the best arguments against

no custom to her husband, she said:
IF you had patronized our saloon, you
would not have seen me in your office

It seems scarcely credible that a rem

could equal the actual testimony of those
who have been cured. Mr.. w. r. Shop

DEFEAT CAUSED BY DRINKING
One Great Battle in American War for
Union Caused by officer Con-
fused by Liquor.

General o. o. Howard gives the fol-
lowing among other instances Of de-
feat through drink in the American
war for the Union: I'm one Of our
great battles we suffered defeat, and
many of us have believed that the
mistake which caused the defeat was
due to an excess of whisky drunk by
the officer in command. | had the tes-
timony from an officer who was with
him that pitchers of liquor were
brought to his table, and that he and
those around him drank as freely
from them as if they contained only
water The orders the commander
gave were the direct opposite from
those he would have given had he not
been suddenly confused by drink A
heavy loss of men and material, and
a dreadful defeat for our cause, was
the result"
