NEWSPAPER BIRTHDAYS.

The Nogales Oasis and the Par
ker Post have come to hand with
birthday numbers. The Oasis has
attained the mature age of twenty
years, and the Post is a robust youth
of four. The proprietOrs Of both
papers in the beginning probably had
some expectation of remuneration,
and we hope that that expectation
has been realized. But. whatever the
papers have done for their prophet
ors. they have done much for their
communities. The steady policy Of
the Oasis has been Nogales and the
adjacent country on both sides Of
the line, and the paper has been the
largest contributing factor in the de-
velopment of that region.
The Post has missed no op-
portunity of furthering the interests
Of Parker and Of apprising the world
of the present and future OppOrtuni-
ties that country has to offer. May
the Post and the Oasis have many
more rthdays-Arizona Republican.

COULDN'T SEE THE HUMOR
EngiishWoman Nobly Upheld Tradh
Hfons of Her Race When Witty
Remark Was Made

There were three Americans in the
who was English, and they were hay-
ing tea one rainy afternoon in Edin-
burgh. One of the Americans had
changed the subject of conversation
from humor to golf. She had gracious
ly agreed with the Englishwoma that
it was quite too absurd to say THAT
English people were slow to see
joke. She had even, with no effect Of
perjuring herself, admitted that the
English mind accepted light and friv.
olous remarks in a thoroughly light
and frivolous spirit. She had been
most agreeable, and then she began
to talk, as every American who goes
to Scotland must sooner or later be-
gin to talk, on the avidity with which
the Scotch played golf in the rain.
Il have been in Edinburgh" she
said, ''for two weeks. 1t has rained
every day for 13 days. The Brunts-
field links look like a lake And yet
there are people playing golf there

quite as many as on the one day when
the sun shone for As minutes! And
all the time I've been in Scotland
every one Of the % days-I have seen
men and women and children driving
balls over puddles. Does it make it
better sport? Or do they love it so
that they can't miss day, even when
it's pouring? Or is it that it always
rainS?"
The Scotchwomen smiled. but no
one had an answer ready And one of
the other Americans permitted herself
light remark
Il have a splendid idea," she said.
Its an invention. I'm going to make
a fortune. I'm going to invent golf
stick that has an umbrella on the 9TH
er end You can hold one end over
yourself and hit with the other. Isn't
it great?"
The Scotchwomen laughed. The
other Americans laughed. The Eng
lishwoman looked puzzled for a mo-
ment, laid down her toasted scone, and
spoke earnestly.
"Oh, but really" she said, wouldn't
that quite spoil the stroke?"

Ways Of the Russian Hotel.


Writing of the great Russian city
OF Odessa in Harper's, Sydney Adam
son tells of the somewhat primitive
arrangements of even the modern ho-
tells
For our ignorance of Russian we
had the privilege of paying over twice
the legal fare for our drive to the ho~
tel. The porters obligingly arranged
the matter and quite cheerfully kept
the difference We felt at home at
once The rooms have double win
dows sealed with putty, which are ney-
er opened from the beginning OF win
ter till the spring thaW is in the air
AS there are no open fires, the only
ventilation is from the slightly better
air of the corridors. Your true Rus
sian, having a taste for much tea or
other warm refreshment, rings for a
lighted samoVar and prepares his own
beverage, if he Is NOT fortunate to
possess a wife to do it for him. With
the lady managing fiery, fuming
samOVar and her lord smoking innu-
merable cigarettes, with perhaps Wis
itor to help, one can easily imagine
not forgetting the hermetically sealed
WindOws--the atmos phere in which

INSPECT BIG CAREY PROJECT.


Pledging their belief that the pro-
ject of the Arizona Land and Irri-
cation Company will benefit Prescott
and Yavapai county in a greater
measure than anything yet presented,
a meeting Of the board of directors
of the Prescott Chamber of Com
merce Saturday night unanimously
voted that an urgent request be
made upon Messrs. R. N Fredericks
j. A. Hope and Judge Ed. W. Wells
to accompany ex-senator j. r. Bur
ton, of Kansas, of that corporation
to Twin Falls. Idaho. The party left
for Idaho Sunday.
The object of the trip by these
gentlemen is to ascertain just how
irrigation and colonization have been
carried out by Hollister and Perrine,
whose efforts in these directions
have added $4,000 souls to the popu-
lation of Idaho in seven years and
who have tentatively agreed TO fl
nance and coloniZe the project Of

Ideal Hosts.

English country houses are, to my
taste, the most elegant and at the
same time the most comfortable places
imaginable. In my Indian sketches
have already paid tribute to the won
derful hospitality of the Briton, and
should like to mention it gratefully
again. At home we are apt to think
guest must be everlastingly amused;
be is worn to death with the occupa-
tons, pleasures, sightseeing, provid-
ed by his host There is nothing of
this kind in England Unless there
is something special on foot, such as
Il shoot, each guest is absolutely his
own master The whole house and
home of the hosts is in the fullest
sense of the word at the guests abso-
lutte disposal. He only has to say the
word, and he can ride, motor fish,
shoot, sail, play tennis, or t1irt-every~
thing is at his hand. The English eX>

CHANGE OF EDITORS.

James Lightfoot left for Blythe
Monday night to look after the in
terests OF the Palo Verde Valley
Herald, relieving Randall Henderson,
editor of the Herald who will arrive
in Parker Saturday to assume temp
oray management of the Post
This change was necessary for the
purpose of relieving the editor of
this paper, who has decided to take
much-needed vacation In fact
everybody is to be benefited by the
change. Mr. Henderson will be able
to get out better Post during the
next few weeks than the writer, thus
pleasing our readers AS the Herald
is printed in the office of The Post
Mr.. Henderson will be able to look
after that paper while here, and with
Mr.. Lightfoot's assistance the Blythe
publication will not be neglected by
any manner of means.
The Herald is one of the writer's
publications and before returning to
Parker we expect to select an up-to-
date printing plant to be installed at
Blythe early this fall. A building
site for the Herald has already been
purchased, and brick structure is
to be erected thereon within the next
two or three months.
But in the meantime. we're going
fishing up in Siskiyou county, north
ern California, and forget about bus
mess, and enjoy a visit with our
good friends. Geo. A. and William l..
Foster.
The Foster brothers are located
Pacific railroad, and are operating a
mine and mill in the wilds of Siski-
you. They were formerly located at
Hart, Cal, and were the principal
mine operators of that camp. Be
sides owning a bonanza gold mine
up there, they are in close proximity
to the best trout streams in the
north, and just at present trout fish
ing, pine trees and the call Of the
wild have got our goat
Going, we expect to ride on the
cushions, but getting back may be
by other means Of transportation
all depending on how the delinquent
subscriber acts during our absence.

Alma Tadema's House.

According to the London Globe the
efforts to acquire Alma Tadema's 8
house as a national possession were
never very energeticalfy supported,
doubtless owing to the non-success
that attended previous attempts in
the case of other artists of note.
1t is, therefore, not surprising to
hear that they have failed, and that
the house will shortly be offered for
sale by public auction. 1t is much to be
hoped, says The Globe, that this may
not lead to it's dismantling, but that
it's purchaser may be one who will be
able to afford to retain in stu the dec
orations which were so redolent OF
the artist, including those in the little
auto-chamber gallery OF pictures by
all the best Of his contemporaries-ex-
changes for works from his own brush.

June 2, that residents of the Palo

office-holder who was watching them
too closely.
The lowest-down trick OF the whole
despicable plot was the involvement
of a respectable young school teacher
of Yuma. By innuendo. the goat
getters attempted to lead the voters
to believe that the relations existing
between superintendent and school
teacher were illicit. The voters OF
the county composed the jury to try
the case and like many an un-
weildy jury they SHE'D rock at
Justice, knocking her scales into the
abyss to mock at the dying hours and
tears of the young teacher who was
made victim OF the politicians spleen
against her superior official, who, ac-
Cording to all evidence submitted,
was only assisting her in securing a
tirst-grade certificate in order that
she might continue to hold a posit-
iun remunerative enough to keep
body and soul together in this strug-
gle of worldly existence.
''DO unto others as you wish to
be done by is a biblical injunction
which we would call to the attention
Of the goat-getters of Yuma who
have succeeded in unjustly running
the reputation of Miss Taylor, now
lying at the point of death on
account Of the undeServed publicity
which the enemies of Hess brought
upon her The Golden Rule is all
RICH to teach to little children, in
the opinion of some politicians, who
sdetrack it in their ambition to
strike down their fellowmen for the
parpose of satisfying a political am
bition in a little two by four com
munity
Truth crushed to earth shall
rise again and those responsible for
it's distortion, and the ruination
of the regulations of good
men and women shall be held
to account for their acts at some flu
ture day The law of compensation
is as immutable as that of gravita-
tion and the poltical-plotter andI the
scandal-monger shall reap their just
deserts before living out this short
span of life.
By no manner Of means are we
criticiZing the majority in their re-
call of Superintendent Hess. We be-
lieve that most of the voters who
voted for Hess's recall were honest
in their convictions. However, we
do believe that they did not give the
subject proper consideration, but
allowed those prejudiced against the
superintendent to Influence their
vote. 1t is the instigators of the plot
against Hess and Miss Taylor who
are really responsible for the out
come OF the recall election.
