REVOLT rs NOT FATAL.

PETROGRAD, Sept. 12-Boris
Savinkoff, assistant minister of war
and minister of marine, in an inter-
view today, said:
For the reinsurance of America,
you may say that General Korniloff's
revolt is not in the least affecting
our operations against the foreign
enemy. The armies at the front are
solidly with the provisional govern
ment
There is not the least doubt that
General Korniloff's coup has been
foiled and that we shall be strength
ened for the future by getting rid OF
disloyal generals by whose conspira-
torial tendencies we long have been
embarrassed.
"The provisional government will
issue stronger than ever from the
crisis and this will enable us to deal
effectively with the Bolsheviki. dan

W0bbL|ES MET
BY SHERIFF
THIRTY-FOUR RETURN TO BIS
BEE BUT THEY ARE SENT ON
ON THEIR WAY-ROUNDED
UP IN BALL PARK.

DOUGLAS, Sept. 12.-Thirty-four
alleged members of the l. w. w. ar
rived here this morning on their way
from Columbus, NJ NJ, to Bisbee,
from which place they, with more
than 100 others, were deported last
July 12.
While at the local passenger sta
ton the men were guarded by Dep
uty Sheriff Cross, acting under orders
of Sheriff Wheeler of Cochise county.
and a posse of citizens and local
police.
Of the thirty-four. two got away
from the guards and entered the
town proper. One, baker, formerly
employed here, was allowed to re-
main. Several wanted to go to Bis
bee by automobile, but were COM
PEELED to buy tickets and go on
train. An officer accompanied them
on their journey.
1t is understood here that Sheriff
Wheeler has warrants for each of the
men and will arrest them on their
arrival in Bisbee. 1t Is thought here
the mems object in getting off the
train here was to enter Bisbee in
automobiles in small parties to avoid
arrest

A ROCKY MOUNTAIN SHEEP.

A fine specimen of the Rocky
Mountain sheep was brought to town
last Wednesday evening by Supt. A.
F. Duclos Of the Indian agency, and
shipped by the Santa Fe railroad to
the Geological Park at Washington,
D. G. The specimen was captured
by James brennan, down on the res
ervation, short time ago. 1t was
full-grown ram with horns about 12
or IA inches long, and weighed about
$50 pounds. These sheep, like the
buffalo, are nearly extinct, and, be-
ing very shy, 1T is seldom that one

DIVA SAVES LAD.

Carlos Gonzales, a f1fteen-year-
youth Of Wenden, owes his life, If
he yet survives, to Madam Shumann-
Heink. He deserved her miuistra-
tions, for he suffered the bite while
trying to perform a service in his
superstitious way for Mrs. Frederick
Shumann, the daughter in-law Of
the famous singer.
On Monday morning, Mrs. Shu-
mann, at whose home seven miles
north of Wenden Madam Shumann-
Heinke was stopping afte: her ap-
pearance at Wenden the night be-
fore, was stung by a scorpion. The
boy who was present had heard that
the poison of a rattlesnai-e was a
famous antidOte for a scorpion suing.
SO he ran out in search of snake
He found one not far from the house
and killed It as he thought. But
But when he stopped to pick 1t up to
extract the poison from it's glands,
the snake struck him on the wrist
The boy flew to the house with
the story Of the happening, and
Madam Shumann-Heink sucked the
wound until the poison that had not
already gone into the circulation had
been extracted. The boy was then
hurried to Wenden and taken to
Phoenix for medical aid.

THE sHUMANN. .HEINK CONCERT.

Many Parker people went to Wen
den last Sunday to attend the concert
given by Madam Shumann-Heink,
the famous singer, for the benefit Of
the American Red Cross. and all re-
turned highly pleased with what
they had seen and heard. Her reg
ular program Of eighteen numbers
and numerous encores was rendered.
The famous pianist, Miss Edith
Evans, formed the supporting COM
pany.
The wonderful range of the sing
ers voice, it's power and purity are
TOO we'll known throughout the
United States to require comment,
but it is probable that no metropol-
itan audience has ever thrilled to the
tone of pathos, the plant of a
mothers aching heart that breathed
through every song sang by Nine.
Shumann- -Heink last Sunday, writes
Eta Clifford Young apropos of this
concert Like the famed feathered
songster that sings her sorrows to

THE NEED OF ECONOMY AND
SAVING.

The United States Is now at war.
A large part of our country's human
energy is taken away from the farms,
factories, and the industries of peace,
and until the war ends all their en-
ergies will be devoted to lighting.
A great portion of our productive
energy Is being turned into the crea-
t1On of implements of destruction
Many OF our products are now being
devoted to purposes of war. Destruc-
structton instead of construction Is
the object of a great portion of the
country's energy
AS much Of the human energy and
productive capacity of the nation are
now being devoted to the purposes of
war, so should the proper amount of
the money of the United States be
so devoted. He who offers his life
for his country is Offering the great
est possible sacrifice, but the Amer
lean men and women who support
the government with their money are
doing their part.
This war is going to be financed
largely out of the savings of the
American people during the war. It
is not so great sacrifice to make
for ones country in time of war to
deny ones self luxuries, to cut down
unnecessary expenses. to lead quieter
and buster lives. Not only will the
money thus saved and used to buy
Liberty Loan Bonds help the United
States but the diminished consump-
tion of food and other articles will
do much to relieve the country from
the strain of war.
The less the people use the less
strain there is upon the productive
capacity of the nation and the more
can be devoted to winning the war;
The more the people save the more
liberal financial support can they
give The government. This is the
people war, and it is to be financed
nv TIE American people, not by the
rich and r OF by the pcrr but by the
Itch anu he poor, the capitalist and
the wage Garner, the miner and the
farmer and the manufacturer.

Rounded up in Ball Park.

PHOENIX, Sept. IA long
distance phone message from Bisbee
states that thirty-four members of
the l. w. W., who were deported
from there along with the 100
others on July 18th and who have
since been camped at Columbus, N. M.
arrived on the train this morning
and were met at the station by Sher-

The men were marched to the ball
park, the scene of the former famous
roundup, where each one was ex-
amined.
1t was found that seven of the
men have property or families in
Bisbee, and these were allowed to go
about their business unmolested
Eight more were found to be regis
tered under the draft, and their
numbers called. These will be
brought before the county board on
Saturday. All of these are foreign
ers and entitled to exemption.

OUR VARIETY
IS INFINITE
FICTION DOES NOT
DEPICT THE TRUE ARIZONA
STATE HAS VARIED BUT EX-
CELLENT CLIMATE.

Arizona is region of infinite va
riety and variety adds charm, says
the Arizona Republican. That Ari-
zona is not more highly regarded
among those who have casually seen
or heard of only one Of It's many sides
is our fault in not exposing all the
sides. There is a sameness in all the
misleading fiction whose scenes are
laid in Arizona and none of these
descriptions are true to the present
life, We would, however, except es-
pecially from Arizona fiction "The
Man from Yesterday" and the mar
rative in the Little Colonel" series.
But practically all other Arizona
fiction we have read is descriptive of
Arizona as it may have been a gen
Grafton ago
AS to the climate of Arizona, there
is no other state than California
which possesses one so varied, and
there is no other, not even California
where the contrasts are so sharp.
where such variety is found with
in so small an area. The composite
views of two sets of tourists mistily
hint at this truth. The tourist who
passes through the state over the
southern route so late as the middle
of September has a story to tell his
acquaintance of a desert, treeless,
arid burning waste the year around. :,
The tourist who passes through Ar
iona over the northern route about
the same time sees the snowclad
nearby mountains, perhaps a snow
storm itself and feels his first disa-
greeable tang of winter. His ae-
quaintances hear of an unreasonable.
frigid region. All this information
taken home by travellers Is discon-
nected, contradictory and unintelit-
gible. 1t explains nothing Of the
pleasing varieties of climate and the
consequent varieties of production.
We think the crop survey which Is
now being inf1shed by the state coun-
Gil of defense will enlighten the
whole country if it is given proper
publicity, and that should be the
task Of all Arizona's commercial
bodies 1t will not only be inform
ing but interesting to the outsiders
to learn that the sled, the snow shoe
and the ski are a part of the agrt-
cultural equipment of the Arizona
mountain farmer, while, the south /.
ern Arizona farmer in his shirt /.
sleeves is gathering the last of his
seasons crop. Here is variety
1t will also surprise the southern
tourist, who saw nothing but tree
less waste, to learn that. Arizona con-
tains the largest unbroken forest in
the whole world

something in return. If Latah

The chairman Of the State Coun-
ell of defence, in a letter received
this week, states that the coal situa-
tion is likely to be very serious.
The breaking of the mammoth
reservoir and the consequent des-
truction of several miles of track
on the De r. g., over which all
the coal from the Utah fields must
pass for Idaho points. is one of the
conditions that has brought about a
shortage of coal at this time.
While the delay occassioned by the
breaking of the reservoir has only
been for period of two or three
weeks, the consumption of coal has
been going on the same as ever and
it is stated that one of the leading
railroads of the country will in all
probability, have to go into the
winter without "a ton of storage
coal.
The only hope for normal
amount of coal on the market is in
the Wyoming coal fields and this
hope is not to be relied upon with
any degree of certainty as there is
shortage of a thousand men in
the mines. If labor can be secured
at an early date to mine the coal in
the Wyoming fields the situation
will be greatly relieved. The
following recommendation are
made by the State council of de-
fence:
The people of Idaho wherever it
is possible should provide wood for
their winter use.
All threshIng machines that are
now using coal should be fitted up
with straw burners.
There should be demand on the
part of the public in every commune
ity for economy in the use of coal,
and every owner of threshing
machine should be requested to in
stall straw burners.
