Scraps of History
Some Incidents in Pioneer Lite
BY JOSEPH FISH

some InCIQentS IN EIOnecT kUC
In 1882 William Fife located
about twelve miles to the south
of the Riggs place in the Sulphur
Spring Valley. The family met
with some thrilling experiences,
although the early days of In
dian troubles had passed. While
his son John and a hired man
were after timber in the canyon,
the Indians attacked them, kill
the man and badly wounding
the boy, yet he succeeded in
getting in among the rocks and
brush. The Indians set fire to
the brush to burn him out.
When the fire reached him, in
stead of running from it, as the
Indians expected, he broke thru
the flames and ran along with
the smoke. He ran four miles,
though badly wounded, when he
came to some miners who rem
dered him assistance and took
him home. The Indians said
they saw him going along in the
smoke but thought it was his
spirit. Not long after this,
while Fife was away from home,
a Mexican came to the house
and shot his wife. The act was
committed, probably, for t h e
purpose of robbing the place, but
hired help near by soon came to
the rescue and saved the daugh-
ter, who was with the mother.
Since then the place has been al
most abandoned. Fife acted as
guide for several of the expedi-
tions that troops made against
t h Indians in this vicinity.
There were several engagements
with the red skins near his ranch.
Towards the close of 1886 oc-
Cured one of those pathetic in
cidents that has so often made
sad the pages of our history.
James Cart, who had a ranch
near the Petrified Forest, and
out eight miles from Carrizo
station on the railroad, left home
one day late in November, 1886,
to visit one of his sheep camps.
His wife said she would hitch
up the horses to the blackboard
and go down to the station in
the afternoon and get the mail
and be back in time for supper.
This she did, taking her two
children with her, a girl of five
years, and a little boy of two.
Going to the station, she started
home, when one of those biz
yards set in which often occur
at this season of the year, the
wind blowing a furious gale,
with the air full of snow and
drifting sand, and she lost her
way. Cart came home at night
and not finding his wife, thought
she had been detained at the
station on account of the storm;
but soon a feeling of uneasiness
came over him and he saddled
a horse and rode to the station,
where he learned that his wife
had started home an hour be-
fore sunset. 1t was then after
dark but Cart made desperate
efforts to find his wife and
children. He rode over h e
country in circles, firing his
pistol until nearly daylight, when
he attracted the attention of
some cowboys, who had gone
into camp the night before on
account of the storm. They
soon joined him in his search.
About daylight the blackboard
and one horse were found. Mrs.
Cart had apparently taken the
other horse on which she and
her children had proceeded.
The trail was followed with all
possible speed, and the other
horse was found in a short time.
Here it was discovered that
Mrs. Cart and the children had
gone on foot, probably to keep
from freezing. The trail was

Price changes this week in the

eggs scored moderate advances. On
the other hand, prospects or very
large crops of grain and light move

lower prices were named on some
brands of -four. Although there was
no particular change in live meats,
beef tended upward, while hogs and
sheep were rather easy and some re-
auctions were made in provisions.
The tone in the hide markets was

POPULAR HABITS AND
COST OF LIVING

A Congress has been called for oc-
tober 26, 81, and 2S, at Chicago TO
formulate a program for reducing
the cost of living. There is I'M
doubtedly much that can be done 10
lower prices through a more econo-
mical distribution of food products
But living costs are so affected py
popular habits and whims that no
economic program can wholly meet
the situation,
A friend from another town was
giving a little illustration of this as
he saw It on his vacation. Having
taken n cottage at summer resort,
and as summer resort prices are
commonly high, he thought his living
costs would be more than at home'
But they proved to be lower. Meats
in particular did not seem to cost
much more than half as much as at
home.
In his home town the meat and
grocery business is carried on by
a large number Of small stores. They
rarely advertise their goods, and are
content to run along in a small way
having to get good prices to pay ex-
penses.
At the summer resort the grocery
and meat business was mostly done
by a large establishment. The sum
mer people came to the store, paid
cash, and carried away all but very
heavy goods There was no noun
tain of bad debts to chargesup to
paying customers. No wonder 1t
could and did sell cheap.
The American town concentrates
its places of business in congested
district, where heavy rental must
be paid. 1t all comes out of the con-
sumer. If people were only willing
to walk little more, a store could
locate a little out of the center and
reduce its rental charge. As a mat
ter of fact, this is frequently done
by advertising freely to draw the
people to the store, but some mer-
chants do not realize how easily that
can be accomplished.
The Cost of Living Congress, there
fore, confronts not merely awkward
and primitive systems of distribution
but certain popular habits and indol-
ences that are a big factor in this
problem.

THE PROBLEM OF
INTERESTING CHILDREN

The opening of fall term of school
is watched with keen interest by the
parents. They are anxiously inquir-
ing as to who the teachers are to
be, and how far they have the magi-
cal and too rare gift of interesting
children.
This is a reminder Of the remark a
school committee man once made to
a young teacher. She had complain
ed that she found her children mat
tentive. She was at her wits end to
know what to do to keep the chill
dren at work.
ooh, all you have to do is just to
interest them in their studies" was
the reply, 1t is very easy to say, but
thousands of teachers find it infin-
itely difficult to do.
It can not be said that the Lite
Red School House of long ago was
any more successful in dealing with
this problem. A very thorough drill
was given in certain fundamentals.
The pupil made very creditable APP
pearance on examination day, with
his long repetition of tables and rules
by heart. But there was too much
memory work, and too little reason.
ing on the part of the pupil.
When the old time school studies
history, most of the pupils learned
to repeat the book by heart. If they
missed word or sentence it might
so throw them of their track that
they would completely funk. They
did not grasp the central idea of a
paragraph so that if they forget the
particular phraseology, they could
tell it in their own words.
The modern school, with all its ex-
perimenting and frequent superficial.
ity, does seem to interest the chill
dren better than the old school did.
A great many teachers fail to do It,
but If they are thus lacking usually
have to quit the business. There re.
suits are too poor to meet modern
needs.
Usually the bright faces OF the lit.
tie learners shows that they are not
Indifferent to their work, nor unre.
sponsive to a well qualified teacher.
The spirit of rivalry is a great thing
to stir a class. II the youngsters can
be got to think problems out for then
selves, to discuss the why's and the
whe' flores rather than to take the
text book say so blindly, there will
be life in a school.

following picturesque language:

following picturesque language;
The federal control of the public
grazing lands is a question of greater
Importance to our country than is the
child labor question, or the negro
question, or any other problem before
our country except banking regula-
tons and the Mississippi River. This
question can never be solved with
Colt and Winchester, but the people
who live on the range will keep on
trying to reach solution with the
aid Of those two American civillzers
Sheep, by nature and necessity are
migratory; Gait e, by nature and by
necessity, become domiciled. Sheep,
by nature and by man, go in herds;
cattle abhor close herd, nor does their
protection demand It. The manten-
ance Of just and fair relations be-
tween these two antagonistic inter
ests can only be accomplished by fed
eral control.
OF recent years the steady rise in
the cost of meat has made the gener-
al public realize that something is
radically wrong in the matter of meat
production and compelled them to
look about for a remedy. Fortunately
there is one.
That this problem of protection and
regulated control of the public graz
ing lands is a vital one and of nation
al size, is evident when we consider
that the area involved, according to
the latest government figures, is
about 2S0,000,O00 acres-nearly one.
sixth of the area Of the United States,
excluding Alaska, which means that
Uncle Sans Open Range is greater
than the combined area Of Germany,
France, and Belgium.
While 80 per cent of these public
grazing lands is located in the States
of Arizona, California, Colorado, Ida
no, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico,
Oregon South Dakota Utah, Wash.
ington and Wyoming the problem of
how to obtain the best use of these
lands Is one in which the people of
the entire nation are interested for
the reason that not less than 5,000,.
600 head of cattle and horses-of
which 100000 head are cattle and
100000 head of sheep-are now
grazed on this public domain. From
