The Board Was All Right.

South Trimble, the clerk of the
house of representatives, merrily
chuckled the other evening when one
of the party referred to the easy way
some people have of explaining dis
crepancy He was reminded, he said,
of the proprietor of a country hotel
in one of the eastern states.
Some time ago, according to the
story told by Mr.. Trimble, man was
travelling along the road when he saw
a sign announcing that the Rural
Inn was a hundred yards further on.
Say old man." remarked the
traveller to the landlord when he
finally reached the hotel, whats the
matter with that sign of yours down
the road yonder? Isn't it a trifle
miXed?"
A trifie mixed?" wonderingly re-
sponded the proprietor. Il don't get
you
1T says a hundred yards to the ho-
tel," returned the traveller, "and if it
isn't three-quarters of mile my tape
measure is twisted"
The sign is all right" declared the
proprietor with smile of enlighten-
ment. The whole trouble lies with
the man who put it up. He got it in
the wrong place. ."-Philadelphia

10Th WEEK
Heavy Shipments of
Cattle Last Week

The cattle men of the Duncan
district have been busy for sew
eral weeks with the fall round
ups which are now over. Prob
ably half the cattle, which owing
to the dry season had somewhat
overstocked, the range, are now
gone from the hills and the
pralrles. Estimate by a local
cattleman in close touch with
the business place the total ship
ments at 1900 head. The cattle
are gone, but the smiling ranch
ers think with satisfaction of
their bank balances which the
figures show have been increas-
ed by the neat sum of S232. 600.
Of course even the cattle bust
ness isn't all profit and it has
taken an unusual clean up to
produce these results. The tax
ing away of so large a percent
age, it is thought, will give the
remaining stock a better chance
to come through in good con-
dition.
The limits of the territory
reported on, of which Duncan is
the center, extend to Blue Creek
and Pine Seneca over beyond
Steeple Rock on the north, down
the Gila to York, west to Ash
Peak, southwest to the Black
Hills, southeast to Summit
Switch on the A. & M. and east
to the Gila Box Canyon at Caai-
sler Mountain.
Among the shippers were
Messrs. Day and Foster, Me-
Keehan & Martin. J. A. Martin,
Ed. Head, w. S. Sanders. w. 1.
Cauthen, w. S. Willis, H. X.
Martin, w. M. Brooks, John

gathered in that direction.

school Party a Success.

The Halloween party which
was given by the school boys and
girls last Friday evening was a
decided success. The costumes
worn by those who masked were
unique and beautiful. A good
many of the characters of hist
ory and tradition were present
to lend color and interest to the
scene. Little Red Riding Hood.
Chinese Lady, Shepherdess girl,
Gypsy girl, Goddess of Liberty,
Colonial dame, and ghosts of
various kinos made a gay and
brilliant scene. Nor were the
boys behind the girls in their
inventiveness as to costume.
There were negroes, clowns and
imps galore present, to say
nothing of his Satanic Majesty
and his Imps who made a de-
cided hit when they appeared.
Another feature of the evening
was the COST dance, of about a
dozen young ladies dressed in
ghostly attire about a huge pump
kin. Quite a neat sum was
realized from the sale of the
boxes.

Advocate Government Own
ership of Telegraph
Lines

wy w NACSAAN VIIO OOC VI CIlS
telegraph to the whole people is
through the government owner
ship and operation of the lines.
American telegraph lines have
been in the honds of private cor
porations for nearly three quart
ers of a century, and in that
time the telegraph companies
failed utterly to reach more than
half of the population. And be-
cause of the high rates, the half
of the people to whom the tele-
graph is available the people in
towns and cities are unable to
use the great convenience to any
substantial extent.
The solution Of high prices, and
inhuman treatment of employees
and the oder evils of the pres
ent system, is government owner
ship and operation of the lines
by the ,postoffice. The govern
ment must have the monopoly of
transmitting speech, and next
winter congress will tackle this
great problem.
The question to be determined
will be the method of acquiring
the federal telegraph whether
to buy outright properties of the
telegraph companies or to begin
the construction of competing
government lines. Both methods
will have advocates.
In purchasing the telegraph
properties the government runs
| the risk of paying a great deal
more than they are worth. The
, companies now have a capitalize
tion Of about $20,000,000 and
more or less of this capitaliza-
tion is probably water.
Take for instance the Western
Union. which is now capitalized
at over 500, 900, 900, but which
was started on an investment of
$3.50. 600. Few American corpor-
ations have ever been subjected
to such frenzled stock initiation.
In 1852 its capital stock was
$3.50, 600. By 1859 this had in
creased to 1886, 700. And then
the watering began. The first
extention of this company came
when it bought the old Browns
vile telegraph line, stretching
100 miles from Brownsville, eb..
to Salt Lake City. This line built
at an exorbitant cost, entailed
an actual cash investment of
$147, 900. The Western Union
absorbed it by issuing $4,000, 900
worth OF stock. That made the
total Western Union capitaliza-
tion So, 900, 600 on a valuation of |
about $50O,000.
Encouraged by the ease with
which water and blue sky could |
be turned into cash, the tele-
graph promoters in 1868, just
after the Brownsville purchase,
declared a stock dividend of
So, 00O, 600, so that the proportion
of water to value became five to
one. Later that same year stock
to the amount of So. 322, 600 was
issued to buy other lines. and to
celebrate these purchases the
company declared another stock
dividend of 81, 678I900 SO that by
1864 the total capitalization was
S11, 100000. In 1866 the COM
pany declared another 100 per
cent stock dividend, making the
capitalization $22, 900, 600. Two
years later. as the result of pay
ing inflated paper prices for
absorbed lines, this capitaliza-
ton was SAL, 049, 400. Stock divi-
dends and initiation continued at
intervals until 1884, the capitali-
cation was $8O,OOO, 1000, and in
1895, $95. 900, 600. At that time
the actual value of the plant,
counting worthless, but actual
