Cowboy Dance

Cowboy Dance
Quite a number of ranchmen and
cowboys were in town the first of
the week, their visit being primari-
ly to take in the Labor Day cele-
bration, but not being satisfied with
day and nights gaiety they decided to
wind the celebration up with good
old fashioned dance. On Tuesday
few of the older heads among the COW
men got busy, secured the Princess
theatre for the occasion and that
evening to the accompaniment o.
clanking spurs and ,rustling chaps
they enjoyed the merry whirl until a
late hour Wednesday morning. Music
was furnished by one of their number
on the violin while w. H. Moon,
whose versatility is unlimited, accom-
panied him on the piano. Everyone
enjoyed themselves immensely and
the home people were looked after in
a royal manner by their hosts. May
the cowboys hospitality nver wane
and their step never grow heavy.

Copper Era, Clifton, Arizona.
The House tonight adopted confer
ence report which strikes copper tax
from revenue bill according to amend
ment which Congressman Hayden of
Arizona originally offered when bill
was under consideration in house.
Signed,
CARL HAYDEN
The above telegram was received
this morning from Congressman Hay
den and is an evidence of the good
work of the Arizona Representative
in Washington to defeat the unjust
tax on copper which it was claimed
constituted war munitions. When
the revenue bill was before the house
on July 10th Congressman Hayden Of
fered the amendment which has been
adopted and eliminates the unjust
tax. AN
The efforts of Congressman Hayden
and Senators Ashurst and Smith
against this discriminatory measure
are commendable and the success of
their efforts in protecting Arizona's
chief industry is cause for congratula-
ton.

ALASKA FISHERIES GREAT
 PRODUCERS

Dr. Hugh H. Smith, one of the lead ing authorities of the United States. and for that matter, one of the best known on the Western hemisphere. in a communication to the National Geo graphical society, places the annual value of the present fisheries in the United States and its possessions at $76,OO0,00O.
 The communication to the Geo graphical society pays a glowing tri- bute to Alaska. Reference made by pr. Smith to the northland is as follows:
 With the acquisition of Alaska. there came to the United States ma rine resources of such transcendant value as to overshadow all other na- tural products and to give to the United States fisheries the leading place among the nations of the entire world With care Alaska should fur nish the greatest fish product Of any other part of the world"

SECRET TARy LANE IS NOT
 COMING ID ALASKA

It was announced that Franklin K. Lane, secretary of the interior, has postponed his trip to Alaska indefi- nitely. Secretary Lane had made all preparations to leave Washington for the coast and then to go north, stopping at Ketchikan, Juneau, Skag- way. and then going to the westward, visiting Anchorage, returning stop ping briefly at Seward, Valdez and possibly Cordova. It was also Secre- tary Lanes intention to, if possible, make a trip to Fairbanks, thence to Nenana to inspect the northern ter minus of the Alaska railroad
 The reason Secretary Lane has been forced to postpone his trip to Alaska is on account of his having been chosen by President Wilson as one of the commissioners to sit with the Car ranza commission to adjust the Mexi can affairs

 The Anchorage team brought a mum Der of rooters along. and considerable money to wager on the games, the first of which was scheduled for Fri day, but did not take place until yes terday afternoon, as the weather man was too busy with his rain machine.
 One of the largest crowds of the season gathered on the diamond and the rivalry was intense. It was a pitchers battle from the start, the Seward twirler having a little bit the best of it, as the Anchorage infield fumbled several balls, and Seward won by a score of 1 to 2. If the grounds are dry enough today the sec ond game will be played, and the home fans feel confident that their team will win the series.
