PIONEER PROSPECTOR
 RETURNS TO TUCSON

as the Ajo country. After they had spent $500 on the property, sinking a shaft and other assessment work, the big slump came Riecker waited for about a year for conditions to grow better They grew worse and he left.
 A number of years later, while he was in the employ of the Southern Pacific, his business brought him to Tucson and afforded him two weeks of leisure. He decided to utilize it by looking up his last mining venture. He essayed it in a double-team rig, but it was too heavy, with water and supplies for himself and horses, and he was obliged to turn back to Tucson. Employing the lightest one-horse rig that he could find, with only five gal Ions of water for his horse and a smaller quantity for hiself. he set out to find his mine. When he had gone as far as he could take his rig and supplies, he unhitched the horse and rode the animal bareback for fifteen miles, when the animal showed signs of giving out, with the mining prop erty yet miles away. He ha dto re- turn fifteen miles to his supplies. There was nothing to do but give up, so Riecker returned to Tucson all but exhausted. That was his last at tempt to reach the mine which he be- lieves to be the famous Ajo discov- cry.
 4 Gamblers Chance.
 There's is gamblers chance that my mine is still unfound by prospec tors, but the chances are against it. They tell me that thousands of pros pectors has been in that section in the last two years. My mine was in the vicinity where the Ajo had been discovered. Still, who knows? I am going to make an automobile trip any way. If my mine is as l left it it would be worth a million dollars to- morrow"
 While Reicker is hale and hearty to- day, he would not have been if Geron imo's strategy had been less keen. While surveying a military road in the early days. he followed a trail for four miles thinking it the trail of his own surveying party He found that it wasn't when he suddenly came upon Geronimo and twenty of his chiefs with fifteen hundred warriors in paint. Reicker was alone, with only a rifle across the pommel of his sad dle. mounted on a little gray mule The indians were mounted on fleet ponies.
 Have you seen my party "Riecker innocently inquired, Geronimo's gruff negative hid the old chiefs real thoughts, which were: 'I will not kill this pale face; instead I will fol low him-perhaps he will lead me to the party l am looking for, the Unit ed States regulars"
 Regulars Ambushed.
 Unassumingly. Riecker rode away on his little white mule, expecting every minute that his body would be riddled He reached his own small party an altogether they hastily made their way during the night and the next day to Fort Thomas. When Rieck- CT saw Geronimo. he was off the re- servation and Riecker knew what that

RAILROADS USE COAL.

The railroads of the United States
used 12S.200,000 net tons of coal in
1915, or "a per cent of the total out
put. The bituminous mines furnished
122,000,000 tons. or % per cent of their
production, and the Pennsylvania an.
thracite region 100000 tons, or Z per
cent of its production. These figures
are compiled by C. f. Lesher, of the
United States Geological Survey. Oh.
The roads in the Eastern district
defined BY tho Interstate Commerce
Commission as that portion of the
United States living north of Potomac
and Ohio rivers and east of Chicago,
Peoria and st. Eouis used $500 600
tons of bituminous coal and $500, 900
tons of anthracite, a total of SO. 700. 600
tons. The roads Of the Southern dis
trict, that territory south of Potomac
and Ohio rivers and east of the Mis-,

Our cHAUrAuolJA

New Sharon Star Oskaloosa is to
have another big ehautauqua this
year. The program gives list of
fine attractions and is we'll balanced.
They have a nunlberSof headliners both
in music and lectures and VIII afford
the people of this county an oppor-
tunity of hearing the very best talent
on the platform. Their dates are
August to IS, inclusive. making
eleven big days They will begin the
day after the New Sharon closes,
which will give our people a chance
to hear any or. all of their big pro
gram. Oskaloosa has maintained
for more than a decade one of the best
Independent Chautauquas any where
in the west. They have new steel
auditorium which affords ample ac-
commodations for a large number of
people and also gives the talent much
better facilities for performing. The
outlook for their association this year
is very bright.

OVER ROUTE VIA AUTO
Ezra Meeker, an Old Time Ok Trail
Traveller Sees Progress.

The progress and development of
more than half century of time may
be seen in the cross-continent trip of
Ezra Meeker, So years old, the Oldest
resident of the state of Washington,
who in the ripeness' OF his years is
lre-traveling the trail he followed to
the west during the early days of his
pouth. J-at t. F a..ttn.'s. .+.g
SiXty-four years ago-in 1S52-Mr.
Meeker went from Indianapolis, Ind,
to the Pacific coast in a covered wag-
on drawn by oxen, following the Ore.
gon trail and fighting several skirm-
fishes with Indians on the way Receatfs
ly he arrived in aKnsas City in his
twelve cylinder motor car from Wash
ington, D.. c.. enroute to his home in
Seattle, Wash. He left the national
capital on May 5. His drive across the
continent is in behalf of of a bill to
appropriate $4,000 for use in the sur
Vey of the old trails to establish a mil
itary highway from coast to coast
A bill, providing for such a highway
from st. Louis to the western coast is
nov pending before congress and will
be considered at the second session of
the siXty-fourth congress
The COast-tO coast highway, which
will be known at Pioneer Way" will
be the longest in the world, extending
$500 miles, and passing through four
teen states. 1t will be built over the
Cumberland road from Washington,
D. c., to st. Louis; over the "Old
Trail from st. Louis to Kansas City,
and follow the Oregon trail" from
Kansas City to Seattle. The states
through which the proposed road will
pass are Washington, Oregon, Idahoy

THE NEWSPAPER GAME.

1T is getting to be serious game,
this trying to run country newspa.
per-" says the Keota Eagle. 1--WE
used to buy print paper for $1.65 per
cwt., and we received notice the 9TH
er day that this same grade was S.
per cwt., and the price subject to
change without notice. 1t is several
hundred per cent of raise, and that,
together with the advanced prices in
everything that enters into the making
of a newspaper, is marking change
in the business. Many did not feel
it at first because they had yearly CON
tracts for paper that were still in
force, but generally speaking, these
contracts have expired and the shoe
is beginning to pinch. We note that
the Iowa City Republican has given it
up, the Muscatine News is in the
hands OF a receiver, the two dailies at
Centerville have merged, and two pa
pers at Mt. Pleasant have also merg-
ed. These are Instances under our
immediate observation only, but sim
liar conditions exist all over the U. S.
No new newspapers are started but
instead the old ones are consolidating.
The man who embarks upon a new
newspaper business faces certain ruin
therefore no one attempts it, Many
exchanges are cut off and other ways
to hold down"

MONMOUTH LIKES OIL.

Monmouth likes oil on its brick
pavements and is convinced that there
is nothing better to keep down the
dust. The Monmouth Review speaks Of
the recent trip of Fairfield men to that
city in the following: ....
According to word from FAIRFIELD
Iowa, today, the city council. aI,l mer,
chants of that place are having some
little difficulty over the advisability OF
putting oil on their streets. 1t will
be remembered that some tine ago
four men from the Iowa City were
here looking over the local streets
and upon returning home all of the
men but one were highly in favor OF
'oiling their streets. The one man who
is holding out on the matter should
remember that when he was here the
oil had just been put on the same
day, and Of course it did not look very
inviting. He should come to Monmouth
again and see how nice the STREETS
are now.
1t takes two or three days for the
oil to get worked in, but after it does
there is nothing in the world like it.
All over our business section the mer-
chants are very we'll pleased with the
oil, as there is practically no dust and
this fact alone is worth the little in
convenience they were put to when
the oil was first put on. When the
Fairfield men were here they were
taken around to various merchants to
get their opinion on the matter and it
is understood that all the local men
were in favor OF il.

Lemberg, is thus described by the
National Geographic Society.
"Only about two miles beyond the
Russian border the Galician town of
Brody Is point of great strategic i'm
portance on the eastern war front be-
cause it controls an important railway
line leading from Dubno, 35 miles to
the northwest, to Lemberg which is
only 81 miles to the southwest.
AT the beginning of the world war
Brody was a thriving commercial cen.
ter with population approaching TO-,
900 more than two thirds of whom
We're Jews, Its prosperity was check
| ed to some extent about 40 years ago
when, after having enjoyed the priv
ileges Of free commercial city for eX
actly 100 years, it's charter was with
drawn.
Less than half a century before
BrOdy was created a town in the 18th
century it was the scene of an i'm
IpCrtant battle in which the Poles, com
manded by their famous Grand Het
man, Stanislaus Ponieckpolski, defeat
| ed a Tatar army This was the last
battle of Ponieckpolski's distinguished
career For quarter of a century he
was at war with Turks and Swedes
his initiation in military science being
somewhat disastrous, for he was cap
tured by the Turks in his first import
ant engagement and was held in close
confidence for three years at Constan
: tinople. Upon his release in 1922 he
was placed in Command of the Polish re
|public's force, and with force OF
$4,000 defeated 10000 Tatars at Mar
tynow. His achievements against ar
army of Gustavus Adolphus were nc
less noteworthy than his long series
of victories whereby he succeeded in
keeping the Ukraine under Polish rule
"Brody twice suffered from disas
Itrous CONGREGATIONS during the 18th
century The first, occurring in 1901
DESTROYED 1900 houses, while the fire
of 1859 reduced 1000 homes and bust
ness establishments to ashes.
THE upper waters of the Styr River
forms an irregular area extending from
! the southwest to the north of BrodY
being 10 miles distant at its nearset
point, toward the northwest. Five miles
! from the city, Just beyond the border
on the Dubno-Lemberg railway, is the
Russian town of Radziwilow, with a
population of about 5000.

A DEMOCRATIC CRITICISM.

Mr.. Wilson is less candid than
some other Democrats. While admit.
ting, by his support of staff com.
mission, the necessity of tariff pro.
lection, his abandonment of free
trade, or tariff laid only for revenue,
is more in form than in substance
The New York American, which once
bewailed the fate of ultimate consum-
ers and denounced protection as the
sole source of their burdens, now ar
raigns the administration for it's half
way measures in recognizing what it
calls "the fact that protection has
come to be a recognized principle al
most universally accepted by the
Democratic as well as the Republican
masses" Protection" it continues.
sis not merely Republican policy; it
is an American policy"
Protection, it may be said, has al
ways been a national policy, in the
sense that it has been approved more
often by great majorities of the peo-
pie, than any other. Following dis
astrous experiments with the opposing
policy, the country has always, at the
first opportunity, returned to pro-
lection for relief. And the American
arguing that great commercial de-
preston is now only averted, for the
moment. by Fictitious causes, argues
that only through a return to pros
lection can disaster after the close OF
the war be missed. THE wise policy
of party in power now" it says,
would naturally be to create political
and economic conditions tht would
perpetuate that prosperity aftern the
war"
II arraigns the administration and
the CONGRESS- for having neglected
"the wonderful opportunities existing
for the last two years to build up and
establish great American industries
new industries which could have
been fostered here by protective legis-
lation-and cities the fact that, in the
preparation Of the recent revenue bill
they refused protection of any conse-
uuence to the dive industry, and voiced
the party policy in House Leader Kit
chin's declaration that even such a
small concession was putting too
much Republicanism" into the meas
nre. The American is right about what
Drght to be done. But can we expect
'elief from the Democratic party? /.

WHO is RESPONSIBLE

Is it the man who rides or the mar
who opens the door who is responsible
for street car discourtesy?
Is it the man who calls or the mar
called upon who influences the decis
len?
Is II what is said or the way it's
said which compels a satisfying re
ply?
In my opinion we come pretty near
getting about what we give. A smile
gets a smile and frown frown, and
discourtesy usually springs from the
seed of discourtesy sown.
A week ago. was sitting in an ele-
waited train in New York-in the city
of hustle and hustle and apparently
little time to be polite.
AS the guard came through the train
a sweet faced woman of sixty-one OF
the kind we love to have greet US

s.IoMk,s OPPORTUNITY.

The Greater Iowa association has
issued a bulletin, asking IL Iowa is go
ing to accept the $2,25O,O00 which the
federal government offers as a gift
for help in the construction of better
highways, or, is it going to tell the
federal government that Iowa has all
the money it needs and refuses the
help of Uncle Sam?" The bulletin
adds:
1T Is now possible to get 365-day
roads. concrete bridges and culverts
permanent draining and grading, and
a gift Of $2,250.00O from the federal
government. without any increase in
taxes of any kind How much longer
IS political buncombe going to blind
the people of Iowa from doing that
which Is TO their best interests? It is
time to think

TAXES NOT INCREASED.

Some people very strangely imagine
that road bonds will increase taxes
when the very intent and purpose OF
I a road bond is to make more perma
nent road work possible now without
increasing the road tax, just as the
school bond makes the brick school
house possible at once with only a
very small tax each year. The differ,
ence is that we, have road taxes
enough now fixed by law to grade and
grvel our county roads on the bond
plan without any more tax.
The people of almost every county
in Iowa are paying taxes now for their
county roads alone at the rate of
$1,O00,000 during the next twenty
years when half that sum expended
in a lump would grade and gravel the
entire county road system of the av-
erage county BY issuing bonds we
could build the roads in two or three
years and have them to use while the
bonds were going to pay anyway. Last
year we paid our tax and averaged on
ly 5 miles graded and miles graveled
in each county. At this rate We will
be from thirty to 100 years getting
our county roads improved and then
we will have all the township roads
left.
Some people cry out against going
into debt, but we are in debt now for
the tax. 1t must be paid every year
forever. The tax is the debt. We
are in debt for a million dollars for
county roads in the average county,
$100,OO0,0O0 in the entire state. That
debt is on us now. By issuing bonds
we merely make a few years taxes
available at once.
We can do SO much more with
bonds which make money available
for contracting our road work in large
units that We will save more than the
interest in first cost. Crawford coun-
ty has contracted for grading at II
cents which had been costing %
cents. Hills are being cut at this
price for $3.50 per mile which had been
costing $1,400. Clay county is issu-
ing bonds and has let contract for
hauling gravel at 80 cents which had
been costing so cents by team The
contractor uses auto trucks and trail
ers. At this cost the, highway COM
requirement of $50 Gu. yds.
TO the mile of graVeled road can be
hauled for $240, which had been cost
ing $40. The higher type calling
for 1850 Gu. yds. will cost only $46S
when it had been costing $3.50 in Clay
county. ."' "'Tit l"s-l s'SAi'. %"
Last year in Iowa $5,OOO,O00 out of
100000 spent upon dirt roads went
into temporary work according to the
reports of the ninety-nfne county en-
gineers, This temporary work has
TO be- done over again every season
and is lost. We waste $50 per cent
more money than we invest in perma-
nent work. In twenty years this
waste of $500 out of every $500 will
amount to $100,O00.000. We are in
lebt for that now unless we change
our system.
There is no need for higher road
axes in Iowa. The thing to do is to
1uild more permanently with the taxes
We pay now.-D. w. Norris.
