PHILIPPINE YOUTH
EAGER TO LEARN
Writes Unique Letter to Amer.
lean Girl Whom He Had
Never Met or Seen.

Jacob Carpenter, 1870 Fifteenth
street. has in his possession a most
interesting letter which was written
by 10 year old Filipino boy 10 Miss
Ruth Sellers Of I.oomis, Wis, a grand
daughter Of Mr.. Carpenter. The lad
in the far off island has never met the
American girl but he desired to get
acquainted with someone from the
states so as TO aid in polishing up the
education which his letter shows he is
rapidly acquiring. Following is the
unique missive which explains itself.
and which incidentally is written in a
hand that would make many well
educated Americans jealous:

YOUR CRAY HAIRS
QUICKLY VANISH
A Harmless Remedy Made
from Garden Sage Restores
Color to Gray Hair.

4 feeling Of sadness accompanies the
discovery Of the first gray hairs which
unfortunately are looked upon as heralds
of advancing age. Gray hair, however
handsome it may be, makes a person
look old. We all know the advantages
of being young. Aside from the good
impression youthful appearance makes
on others, simply knowing that you are
looking fit gives one courage to
undertake and accomplish things. So
why suffer the handicap of looking old
on account Of gray hairs, when a simple
remedy will give your hair youthful
color and beauty il a few DAYS time q?
Most people know that common gar
den sage acts as q color restcrer and
scalp tonic as well. Our grandmotho-s
used a Sage Tea" for Keeping their
hair dark, soft and luxuriant. In
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy
We have an ideal preparation of Sage,
combined with Sulphur and other valca-
bic remedies for dandruff, itching scalp
and thin, weak hair that is split at the
ends or constantly coming out. A few
applications Of this valuaLle remedy
will bring back the color, and in z short
time 1t will remove every trace of d2r-
cruff and greatly improve the growth
and appearance OF the hair.

COCHISE WINS BIG FIGHT
TO MOVE ITS CAPITAL

The voters of Cochise county
are to have an opportunity to say
whether the county seat shall be
changed from it's present location
at historical Tombstone, or remain
where it is. That is the meaning
of the passage last Saturday by
the state senate of senate bill 134,
which provides that if sixty per
cent of the voters of any county
shall so vote, the county seat
shall be changed, and the city
receiving the largest number OF
votes in the election shall be des-
ignated as the county seat.
The agitation for moving the
county seat from Tombstone to
Bisbee, Douglas or Benson has
been increasing for the past three
years. Every mine in the Tomb
stone district is now closed down,
the gas and electric lighting
plants have been removed, and
only train a day from the little
branch connecting at Fairbanks,
now runs to the old town.
During the second extra ses-
sion Of the legislature extensive
lobbies were maintained in Phoe-
nix to work for the passage of
the county seat bill. 1t is under
stood here that both Bisbee and
Douglas are overwhelmingly in
favor Of the change and that a
bitter fight will result between
the two cities to secure the honor
Of the county capital location. 1t
is also understood that the big
active heads of the Copper Queen
will throw their influence to
Douglas, as the town is named
after DR.. James Douglas, pres
ident of the Phelps-Dodge con-
cern. When Douglas was laid
out public square was reserved
by the Copper Queen on which a
public library was erected and
given over to the city. The pro-
perty is admirably located for
public buildings, and the under
standing has always been that

There were four nominations for
the May queen, and after a short

financially.

DOINGS in The
TOWN OF HOLBROOK

O1 OCtllll up dIIO bolH
Business is still at about its
usual volumn, the town going
dry has not as predicted, played
smash" with everythingin gen
eral, and as a travelling man re.
marked, last Sunday: Darn if |
did not see more people on the
streets of Holhrook, last week,
than at any previous trip have
made there.
From all reports, surmlses,
coniectures and some, it is .ap-
parent that Holbrook will, afore
many days, experience a more or
less boom, it is in the air COM
ing like one O those health be-
getting gentle zyphers that's
prone to cavort thru Holbrook
occasionally.
There has been considerable
improvements made in the town
within the past three months
and past few weeks in the build
ing line. etc. Will Scorse has,
within the past month, compile
ted his handsome bungalow resi-
dence, erected by Joe Kleindienst
of Winslow, located just west OF
the court house, and sunk well
from which he is getting an un-
failing supply of water of an ex-
cellent quality.
Geo. Hennessy is now occupy
ing one of the handsomest resi-
dences in Navajo county also
erected by Joe Kleindienst Of
Winslow which he lately moved
into from his ranch. 1t is mod
ern in every particular, hot and
cold water, bath and all acces-
cries that go to make a residence
content,
J. E. Cox, cashier of the Mer-
chants and Stockgrowers Bank,
we are informed, has in. thought
the erection of a handsome home
that will be modern in every fin
ishment and a residence excell-
ent.
The proposed $25, 600 hotel, be-
ing promoted by julius Wetzler
and associates, we are told, is
swimming smoothly along to a
fruition, and will, most assuredly
be fulfllment of the wish for
hotel of modern gets and have"
as the hotel trade there is past
accommodations, and has been
for a year or so past.
Lee Newman has sold the
Holbrook hotel and property to
S. d. Smith of Snowflake. Mr..
Newman traded the hotel and
property for Mr.. Smiths ranch
property near Snowflake; said to
be one of the best ranches ir
Navajo county. The Holbrook
hotel is a busy house at all sea-
sons as there is not a time wher
the house is not full up with
with transients.
The Holbrook Drug company,
Will and James Scorse, are hav-
ing their former drug store build
ing thoroughly remodeled for ar
expectant occupant.
S. d. Smith and associates
have purchased the Parks Trans
portation company's auto system
consisting Of gas and steam auto
lines to st. Johns and othe,
points in Apache and Navajo
counties. Mr.. Smith is also pro
prietor of the Pioneer Livery
and Feed Stable and corrals al
Holbrook.
The Brunswick Hotel, under
the management of Mrs. Ida
Saxton, is enjoying it's usual
full house" run, and surely why
shouln't it, its certainly a com
fy' stopping place.
Another strong improvement
to Holbrook is the new office

doin +" around and in Holbrook.
What, with the quarter million
acre land development by the St.
Lo~i & San Francisco railroad;
the double tracking of the Santa
Fe, which is slated to begin some
short time after the first of July;
the building of a railroad out of
Holbrook to the immense pine
and coal belts south of that town;
the erecting of saw mills, etc.;
Holbrook will certainly be just in
sayin, Keep your specks on
Holbrook."
And. Oh! Yes. The Santa
Fe has muchly improved and en-
larged the office part of their de-
pot to nigh double it's former size
and the genial agent W. J.
Hookway, and accommodating CO.
workers now think, and rightly,
that the Holbrook depot Has

the line.
@. j. Mills, travelling man for
a pool and billiard table house of
Los Angeles, fancy shot and ex-
pert pool player, gave an exhibi-
ton at the Winslow Pool Parlors
this week, Tuesday and Wednes-
day afternoon and evening to
packed houses. Some of the
stunts done by Mr.. Mills with the
cue and ball were simply marvel
Gus and in regular games of rota-
tion or straight pool there were
but few in this community that
had any chance with him what
ever. Mr.. Mills is on his way
back to the coast and will stop in
various towns along the line and
give similar exhibitions. He left
Winslow for a two days engage
ment at Flagstaff.
One of the most delightful
social events of the season was
the At Home, givenbya Mrs. VIM.

a huge Japanese basket in the
parlor apple blossoms lent their
fragrance through the afternoon
while progressive whist was en-
