Petersburs Is Building City

Dr. Shurick, the Editor, Steve Grant and Capt. Clark made a. trip over to Petersburg on the good ship Duekland last Monday. At Petersburg We found thriving little city with every person over there certainly boosting fsr Peters burg. The city has made many improvements in the past year, many new building h4ying been completed and several under way the A.-B. Lodge has just finished fine large hall which they are blaming on formerly opening open ing with a big dance on hallowe' en eve, the Petersburg Bank has just finished a fine bank building, Dr, Pryor has in the cource of con- struction a fine two story concreat business block, the Wester Hotel is completing a new annex, and the city is building a good water system, all of which speak well for the future of the fishing me tropolis on Wrangell Narrows.

Real Campaign :. Start Soon

TOT the Non-r sftisah AesisiatiSe Ticket open. on Monday, October Ioth. Headquarters have been opened in Juneau, with the organ ization of a publicity bureau, of which L, A. Green is in charge. Advices indicate that the Daily Dispatch of Juneau, Daily Alaskan of Skagway, Daily Miner of ketch- ikan, Weekly News of Douglas and Weekly Sentinel of Wrangell will support the Non-Partlsan Legislat- i've Ticket.
 R. A. Gunnison, Manager of the Non-Partisan Campaign, has is- sued the followiog statement to the voters of the First Division:
 ] The Non-Partisan convention, which convened at Juneau, on Sep tember 3rd, was organized with a view of securing representation from every important precinct in the First Judicial Division of AL ska. and for the adoption of plat form and the nomination of candi- dates for the second Territorial Legislature which will give every section and industry of the Divi- sloE equal and efficient represen-
 ation.
 Legislation should be non- partisan: the lays to be passed by the Territorial Legislature, whicl meets in Juneau nez. March. should be enacted in the interest of the growth Qf good government and the development ot he resourc- es or Alaska, and not ii Q partisan spirit for the advantage of a few politicians. The tendency of all recent legislation, state and nation al, favors non-partisan develop- ment. The primary election law, the Australian ballot system, anC the initiative and referendum art all direct efforts by the people t. protect themselves and their inter- ests from the political boss. The day has come when the people in their collective might intend to conduct the public business with out boss rule, and non-partisan combination is the method by which 1t is to be done. The boss must go, and the purpose of non- partisan effort now Is to so arrange the public business that the people can formulate their best thought into law through direct appeal to the people who no longer have con- hdence in the boss. the secret cau- GUS or a corporatiye-controlled con- vention of hand-picked delegates. The Non- Partisan ticket IS an ap- peal to the people in the First l Division to every citizen in his or | her individual right to aid in for the wishes of the people and to secure their enactment into law without reference to local ap- pointees, to local bosses or non- residents influence.
 Tn presenting this platform and | ticket for the considera- ton of the voters of the First Div ision at the November election, an | earnest appeal is made for every | good citizen to actively support | and assist in electing the Non- Part isan ticket so that the platform presented can be carried out by the enactment of Legislation"

To-day" Toniqht.

Manager Levy announces to the the
atre going public of Pensacola that
the performance of To-day" at the
opera house tonight is one of the
most prominent bookings for the Pen
sacola opera house this season. 1t is
seldom the management ventures to
assure a public of the positive sue
cess of an attraction, but in the case
of To-day the exception is the rule.
To-Day comes to Pensacola from
New Orleans, where it followed after
a weeks duration David ,Warfield in
THE Auctioneer," and upon its clos
ing in that city Saturday night, tie
receipts We're found to have gone even
higher than Warf1eld. This is con-
sidered by Manager Campbell of the
Tulane theatre the biggest surprise he
has had in years, as Warfeld and
Maude Adams are considered two of
the biggest box Office winners in the
theatrical business. To-day ran all
of last season at the 48th street the

CHALLENGE FOR
THE CHAMPION
CHECKER TOURNAMENT TUES
DAY NIGHT WILL PROBABLY BE
STAGED, AND GOOD CHECKER
PLAYING is ASSURED.

Sergeant E. F. Mould, on duty at
Fort Barrancas, believes that he can
interest Ginsberg, the champion check
er player, and will try and arrange
a game or two with the visiting
checker player, probably for Tuesday
night.
At that time, the champion, Gins
berg, will be at a Palafox street pool
room, and will give an exhibition of
his skill on the checker board. He will
attempt to defeat from one to a
dozen men at the time. and will then
attempt to defeat anyone at one or
more games blindfolded.
Sergeant Mould is a checker player
himself, and believes that his skill is
sufficient to interest all, not barring
champions, so he will try conclusions
with Ginsberg Tuesday night if ar
engagements can be made. His tourn-
ament will be at the Cue Pool Pariors
Tuesday night at 8 o'clock.

At the Pollock hospital about 4 o'clock
on Tuesday afternoon Aaron L. Kellogg
passed away after six months struggle
with paralysis. For some time his ply
sieian had held out no hope of his reeov-
cry. and his son Addison and daughter
Gertrude had been summoned. from their
homes in Kansas City and Grand juno
tion. and with his wife and daughter Veda
were at his side when the end came.
A. L. Kellogg was born in Whitehall.
N. Y. rs years ago. In 1886 he came
to Rocky Ford and homesteaded quar-
ter section on the hill adjoining Reservoir
park, one-half of which together with city
property was in his possession at the
time of his demise.
Mr.. Kellogg was prominently identified
with the early political history Of this
section. as he was the first treasurer of
Otero county and for eight years served
as president of the state board of agri-
culture. He was the first cashier of the
Farmers g. Merchants bank of this city

WILL. HAVE TO 90 SOME
If They Should Take This City as
Pacemaker

Bro. Mason of the La Junta Tribune is
again trying to infuse some life into his
sleepy OLD burg by administering such
pokes In the ribs as the following:
Rocky Ford is agitatinR the questions
of ornamental street lighting paving
Main street and milk condensary for
that burg all at one and the same time.
Rocky Ford is always agitating some
question that has for its object the better
ing of conditions in the town. and the re-
suit is that she usually gets most of the
things she goes after. 1t would be a
good thing for some OF the business men
of La Junta to become inoculated with
some of the virus that permeates the
systems OF the Rocky Fordites. If they
did this old town would sure go some.
The trouble with La Junta is that we do
not appreciate what we have, or our
opportunities to acquire every good and
perfect thing that makes for the highest
ideals in civic life. If Rocky Ford had as
many things to crow over as La Junta
already has she would GO plumb crazy,

BETS ARE ALL IN
Bad Smash-Up Does Not Stop Fact
ory and Campaign VIII
Last to Feb.


Despite the partial wrecking of the
Rocky Ford sugar factory last Thursday
afternoon. when one of the 25o-horse-
power engines left its foundation through
faulty constructions and caused an ex-
plosion that made the huge plant trem-
BILE and threw massive castings and de-
bris about the dynamo room, the big
factory is merrily grinding away as though
nothing had happened. and should nothing
further occur to prevent will continue at
top speed until Feb l. whom it is estimat-
ed that the longest campaign for this
factory will end.
The accident was the worst that has
ever occurred in the Rocky Ford factory
IN the way Of damage to machinery, but
luckily every employe escaped without
serious injury. and as the load of the
wrecked engine was soon distributed to
the four others. it caused shorter shut
down than would many another that
would do much less damage to the plant.
as everything was going again in less
than half an hour.

FATAL KICK FROM HORSE
|. T. Heathman Early Sunday Morn
ing Succumbed to Injuries
Received Friday

At l:45 on Sunday morning Ike T..
Heathman. the well-known baggage and
transfer man, passed away. after linger-
ing in an unconscious state from $50 on
Friday morning, when he was kick ed
in the head by one of his horses.
Mr.. Heathman, it seems was IN his
stable yard caring for his horses on Fri
day morning. when one of them wanted
to take a roll in the mud and Ike ran
forward to scare it up. when the animal
turned and playfully kicked out toward
him. From the appearance of the wounds
1t is thought that the poor fellow was
struck by both feet on the head, as his
jaw was broken at the point of the chin
and the back of his head was badly
crushed. The latter injury is the one that
proved fatal as it caused blood clot to
form at the base of the brain and surgic-
al aid was unable check the oonse quent
paralysis resulting in his demise early
Sunday morning.
Ike T. Heathman came to Rocky Ford
little over two years ago, and at once
engaged in the etransfer business, in which
he was successfully engaged at the time
of his fatal accident. He was SO years
of age and besides his wife left father
and brother who came up from Shelbina.

after which the remains were conveyed

fraternal brothers of the Odd Fellows and
Yeomen lodges and many sympathizing
