RATHER is MUCH MALIGNED
Hated Reptile Not Nearly So Black as
He Has Been Painted by Those
Who Do Not Like Him.

Rare, indeed, are wild creatures OF
causing the fear and respect that the
rattlesnake causes.
A big part of the fear is unfounded
He's dangerous, but there's no use of
being frightened at him. In the first
place, he usually gives you an unmis.
taxable warning, little buzzing hiss
which he makes with his tail.
He gives his warning with a set OF
shell-like rattles on the end of his tail
by which he is nS2st easily distin.
guished from other snakes. 1t used to
be a common belief that the snake
added rattle each year and that you
could tell his age by the number of
rattles.. Now it is known that some
times he will grow three rattles in a
year and that old snakes sometimes
lose rattle or two.
His color varies from yellowish
brown to dark brown. The snake is
darkest just before he sheds his skin
which may be two or three times a
year. When he makes an attack he
doesn't leap through the air." and he
cannot strike farther than his own
length, usually not that far Since the
common rattlesnake rarely grows be-
yond five feet in length, you see his
range is limited.
Nor is he so hungry for human flesh
as most persons would imagine. He's
very well satisfied with his diet of
, mice, rats-yes, and sometimes squir.
rel or rabbit. He eats enough mice
and rats every year to make him the
farmers friend instead of hated
enemy.

Luck-La laden.
enemy.

An idle person chanced to see a
wagon rolling slowly along Fulton
street. Bad luck pursued it. At
Broadway, the driver sleepily tried to
cross in disregard of the traffic po-
licemans ample asd warning hand.
His number was jotted down in the
book of that recording angel and a
summons was handed up. A few
yards beyond, and the horse, turning
to avoid a hot'chestnut peddler went
down in heap. The pavement was
slippery, and he must needs be un-
harnessed in the shafts before he
could rise. Another block, and some
body was digging hole in the street
to put in some kind of a main for
somebody else. The off wheels of the
wagon rolled too near, and the vehi-
Gle careened and slid into the exca-
vation. 1t had to be unloaded fabori.

NO LACK OF HONEST BOYS
Los Angeles Lad Held Up as Won
der Is One of Many That the
Land May Claim.

A Los Angeles (Cal) paper prints
the account of the return to the owner
of f1ve-dollar piece paid by accident
to newsboy. 1t seems to regard the
incident as remarkable, and one phase
of it was, but the paper overlooked this.
stincts of youth are predatory only in
a mischievous fashion. In a real test,
the average boy would come out with
colors flying. The Industrious lad
who would steal is an exception. No
normal boy accustomed to dealing in
pennies could see an accidental gold
coin in his days collection without
the immediate impulse to place it in
the hands of the owner.
The remarkable phase of the Incl
ing his coin, rewarded the boy with so
cents. Doubtless the newsie felt more
jubilation in possession of this hon
est piece of silver than in the larger
piece that could have been retained
only by process virtually pilfering.
Ordinarily the person who loves mon
ey and RECEIVERS it is remarkably
stingy in the matter of reward. A
nickel handed over in exchange for a
fat purse rescued from the street is
about the rule. Sometimes there is
no proffer, but a look of dark suspi-
cion.
1t would be wise to have statutory
regulation of the whole matter. A re-
ward of ten per cent would not be out
of reason. If a poor person happens
upon vagrant roll of money, it is but
natural that he become conscious of
temptation. He has reason to think
the owner will pay little or nothing,
and be more apt to display toward him
a sort of resentment than gratitude.
If he knew that under the law he was
entitled to a fair commission, the
temptation would vanish, the finder be
satisfied, and the owner restrained
from assuming the too frequent role of
miser.

Such speed would never be

Crap Game Interrupted,

Another holdup occurred at
the Frisco station Saturday night
but this time it wasn't the rail-
road compauy's funds that were
taken, but rather a very exciting
crap game that was broken up.
Several town boys and some from
Quapaw district were rolling the
bones out a ways from the station
house about three a. m. A
nice heap of change was in sight
when a stranger dropped down on
them with z gun leveled at the
bunch. He made them hold
their hands up till he gathered
up the coin and went thro the
pockets of the sports, then he
thanked them and backed out of
sight. The victims are now more
concerned about keeping their
names out of print than getting
their money back or catching the
robber.

Boost your city, boost your friend,
Boost the lodge that you attend,
Boost the street on which you're dwelling,
Boost the goods that you are selling,
Boost the people round about you,
They can get along without you,
But success will quicker find them,
If they know that you're behind them.
Boost for every forward movement,
Boost for every new improvement,
Boost the man for whom you labor,
Boost the stranger and the neighbor,

Cease to be process blocker,
If you'd make your city better,
Boost it to the final letter.

LATENT mines
TO START UP
Company Buys Half Interest in
Sunnyside CrOupe Long
in Litigation.

Il .9 HASfSAhSo ASoA VI
considerable interest to Baxter
springs was closed last week
when Capt. James E. Sullivan OF
Tennessee and Charles Shewy OF
Virginia, acquired a one-half in
erest in the Iowa G. Oklahoma
Mining Company, the entire
holdings of William Grimes,
president and general manager.
The properties comprise the
bulk of the Sunnyside camps in
the Quapaw reservation, some
five miles south of Baxter.
The Il. & o. Company" was a
closed corporation, chartered
under the laws of the Indian
Territory. The entire stock was
owned by Mr.. Grimes and A. w.
Abrams, secretary OF the Quapaw
tribe, and secretary and treasurer
of the company. He will contin-
ne in the same official capacity in
the new organization. The
property consists of mining leas-
es upon some 500 acres of land,
with some $50, 900 already spent
in drills and shafts. The camp
has practically been idle for the
past seven years, due to litiga-
tion, brought against the II. g.
o. Company" by the Federal gov
ernmeut upon alleged taking of
tapping leases" and the right
of Indians to sell interest in
future royalties. A decision of
the United States Supreme
Court, handed down by Justice
Charles E. Hughes, decided ''lap-
ping. leases" to be illegal, and
that Indians could not sell inter-
est in one or all royalties until
ore had been mined and milled.
This decision clarified conditions
as regards the II & o Company. ~
Not before however the big pro-
ducing mills, the Goodluck, Neb-
raska and Hobo had moved off
the land, under the assumption,
that the owners did not care to
remain idle pending a long drawn
out legal battle. The Lancaster, |
another big producer, burned.
When litigation began there
were 10 shafts upon the property.
At present all are in fair condi-
tiou and all in paying ore. 1t
is the intention of the new organ
ization to push developments dur
ing the present lull in the market
against considerable activity dur
ing the fall months.
At present the Red Wing
shaft, operated BY the Bradley
Lead and Zinc Company, and the
Fifty.Fifty, operated by Cum
uingham and Newton, are the
only ones being worked. Robb
and Thomas of Kansas City are
doing considerable drilling, upon
q lease just north of the Good.
luck property. Several rich
strikes in lead have been made.
Mai, Grimes, the retiring off,
cial of the company, has return
ed to Marshfeld, Oregon, where
he will resume banking and var.
ious commercial enterprises. He
Ia well remembered in this Sec
tion, not only because of business
but official connections
as we'll. He was United States
Marshal of Oklahoma two terms
before statehood, and later serv-
ed two terms as secretary of state,
during which term he served a
long time as acting governor,
and in all Official and business
dealings he was known as "On
the square," he was a close
personal friend Of Ex-President
Taft. and was offered any Feder-
NJ appointment be wanted under
the Taft administration, but he
refused political preferment to
retire to private life.

SCHOOLS READY
FOR OPENING
Increase in Teaching Staff and
Instruction in Music Added
The New Faculty.

Prof. J. w Twente, superin.
tendent of the Baxter Springs
public schools, has been a busy
man since his return home last
week, looking after details and
arranging for the re-opening OF
the schools on Monday, September
4. Concerning this event the
superintendent makes the follow
ing announcement to the parents
and pupils:
"The Baxter school will open
Monday, September 4. Every
pupil of school age should be on
hand the first day. Those pupils
who are 5 years old OF who will
be 5 in the near future should be
there from the beginning as it
breaks in on the work to have
pupils entering school at irregular
intervals. The books used in
the grades will be same as those
used last year. Supplies should
be gotten now in order that all
may get the needed books. A
list of high school books for the
respective year can be seen at
the dealers at any time.
THE board of educ alton has
made a number of improvements
and additions during vacation so
that all grades and pupils will be
we'll accommodated. New desks
have been put in the primary
rooms. An additional teacher
has been employed for the coming
year so that all grades will have
whole day sessions and thus be
better provided for than in pre-
vious years.
THE board also has made pro-
vision for the teaching of music
in the grades. One of the grade
teachers will take charge of this
work on a departmental plan.
We expect to devote more time to
this cultural subject and help
each pupil to at least appreciate
music to some extent. The edu-
cational activities of the boys
and girls of Baxetr will be better
cared for than ever before"
Teachers employed for the
year are:
Mr.. L. H. Barrett, Baxter
Springs, Kans.
Mrs. C. M. Yeager, Baxter

Miss Nell Weaver, Baxter

Miss Hazel Goodwin, Baxter

The history of the Baxter
Springs schools, if we are not
mistaken, does not disclose any
notable enterprise up to a few
years ago, when its affairs were
transferred to different hands.
For about forty years the district
struggled under a bonded indebt-
eduess of $40, 900, incurred when
the building was erected. No
effort was made to pay any of the
principal until about four years
ago. Up to that time more than
twice the original debt was paid
out in interest. Since then the
debt has been reduced to $11, 900
and the building which had be-
come dilapidated from age and
wear, has been repaired from
basement to roof.
In addition to the expenses at
home the district has now for
several years been cont ributing
about $4,000 a year in support
of the county high scho ol. This
fact has hindered the board in
its efforts to develop the high

DADDY QUINN Is
 0NE CENTURY YOUNG

Unique among birthday celebrations was the one held Saturday and yes terday at Stafford, when scores of friends of J. J. Quinn, pioneer resident of Graham county assembled to help him celebrate his tooth birthday. Ow- ing to the fact that his birthday fell on Sunday, the more festive part of the program was carried out Saturday. when a large number of residents of Stafford made it q point to visit the Quinn residence and partake of a boun- tiful dinner in honor of the veteran.
 Daddy" Quinn, as he is lovingly called in his home at Stafford is not q large man. He weighs about l15 lbs, with a long flowing white beard, with no mustache. He is about as spry as any kids of IS, and is often heard to say: By heck, wed a licked 'em if we'd had enough men, more grub and the time hadn't been so short"
 Born in Arkansas, Daddy" Quinn fought throughout the civil war, and is today an "unreconstructed rebel" He has been voting the democratic ticket since he was r, having voted for "Old Hickory" Andrew Jackson. Whether he intends to vote for Governor Hunt or Tom Campbell at the November election has not been announced but as he is a resident of Graham county those who know say it is not hard tC | tell how he will vote.

THE ARIZONA REpUBIeAN MONDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 1916
ONLY FEW MORE DAYS LEFT FUR
 REGISTRATION

Registration for the general election will close at midnight of next Saturday, October IA. The law provides that the registration shall close so many days before an election. That this year would bring the end of the registration period on October 15. But that day falls on Sunday and according to the rule when a period ends on a Sunday, Tit shall be deemed to have ended the day before. as in the matter of note falling due.
 A holiday also intervenes, Columbus day on October F. so that there re- main actually only five days for reg istratien. There are many yet to be registered, almost 2,000 below the to- tai registration of two years ago and there are probably more voters in the county than there were then.
 Arrangements have been made by which the two parties may secure the registration of their members who have not registered But it is presumed that every citizen would like to have a voice in the affairs of the county and state and in order to be sure to get it. he should not want for some one to call upon him but should present him self at the office of the county re- corder.
