WHY WAR?-The dollar patriots
want us workers to go to war with
Mexico and fight for them. 1t is a
case of the American army follow

Hearst and Standard Oil have big in

paid such low wages to the poems
that they could no longer live and
had to fight to free themselves. The
employers could no longer get wage
slaves to work their mines and fruit
farms and so they're going to send
the U. S. army into Mexico to force
the poems to go back and work again
for low wages.
The yellow leg militia fired ma
chine guns and set fire to the tent

No! But it will help the men that

TUNGSTEN FEVER |NFECTS THE
 COWBOYS
CAMP WOOD BRONCHO BUSTERS BY THE SCORE QUIT THEIR JOBS FOR THE METALLIC LURE.
(From Saturdays Daily.)

An arrival yesterday from the Camp Wood region, reported a cowboy stampede to the tungsten field that covers that range country for many miles. So virulent is the metallic in lection that more than 20 employees have quit their jobs for the lure of the metal that has thrown the coun- try into consternation and has settled down to an epidemical condition.
 The infection is the result of a strike made few weeks ago by Hill, Marlowe & Koo1tz, all rangemen. Marlowe, breaking away from his CO partnership later, started work on an individual claim, and is reported to have hit it rich eight feet down. The news spread to other cowboys and other riata experts took the tip, and are also going to take a chance in what Marlowe has demonstrated as a big thing.
 Said one cowboy after hearing of the strike made by his companion on he range: What's the use of bull logging a critter when a few licks with the pick may give one a cinch in getting on top; Marlowe has no more knowledge of mineral than |, and the same rule applies to Hill & Koontz, his former partners"
 This sentiment spread like wild fire, and the range bust-up followed. One large cattle owner lost the following fay his seven riders, another four, and the total to date reaches to over 70. The rodeo for the Spring season is ready and the little calves as yet have not had the warm iron thrown on their bodies, neither has the sharp lnife clipped of piece to give them he necessary ear-mark of identity. 4 retired cattleman's relief associa- ion is being talked of to assist the big brethren of the range, i1 their present dilemma, to get into the sad He again and do little rounding-up n this situation of dire emergency arise without a moments warning.

Mucn publicity will be given the Chau- tauqua in every district, and there seems little doubt but that the audi ences at the 20 performances will be made up to great extent of residents of Kingman, Phoenix, Jerome, Clark dale and other cities, although the citizens of Prescott have promised to do more than their share to make the event a success.
