WOMAN TO RULE

! Woman's approaching dominence in world affairs is confidently declared by Prof. Ralph L. Power of the Uni versity of California as a deduction in cold logic. Professor Power teach es business and administration in the university. The subject ot woman future place in the social order has come up class theme. He says he has studied it as carefully and with as little sentiment as he would apply to any problem in business practice, and with the premises now accepted the conclusions reached by him are inevit- able. r..
 i Speaking of his reasoning and find ings, he said recently:
 ''t'or long period of years woman has been much written about, dis cussed, analysed and diagnosed from every possible angle. Unquestionably she holds first place in the dally news and there are many more novel move ments affecting woman than man. She is marching toward rulership, and leadership. Within the next fifty or seventy-tlVe years she must become dominant; the world is so fast that it may not take so long time to estab- lish her supremacy in affairs.
 "Just now her foibles, psychology, dress, yearnings, moods, adventures, reactions and all that concerns her form the subject of most magazine ar ticles and large proportion of news paper stories.
 Ut is within comparatively recent time that woman has discovered her self and been discovered. Woman with the franchise, woman in business, woman invading all the old male lines, woman bursting the letters of tradi- tion and doing much as she likes that is the great discovery of the age.
 '"'The world want something new; it cant find anything new to say about man. But woman, by natune capricious and ever attractive, has car ried her influence beyond the spheres of romance and the home into broader fields where she is blazing trails of her own. Woman talks and writes about woman, warming up to the sub- ject with the prospect of winning for her kind newer and larger place in the sum-"

It is great to get your name in the newspaper, and it is more fun to ob- serve a man read a puff of himself In newspaper than to see fat man slip on banana peel. The narrow minded man reads it seven or eight times, shows it to his wife and then borrows all the copies that he can reach and sends them to his friends with a big red ring around it. The Nnaneal ted man goes home and reads the good news to his wife, then goes out, hunts up the editor and pays up his long overdue subscription. The successful business man, who adver- tlses regularly, and makes money at it, takes the editor out and treats him to a potion of grape juice, and all life seems sweeter and better and peace ;ettles down on the community. Such IS the experience of seeds as they fall

A LETTER FROM REX
 BEACH 10 ] HIS OLD . PARTNER JACK LEEDY

The following letter written by Rex Beach to his partner Jack Leedy in i. 1912, will prove interesting. Beach and Leedy were interested in prop erty here and had previously been partners in Nevada and Alaska. The letter reads as follows:
 q have been here now nearly four weeks during which time 1 have fin ished the Silver Horde. It has dragged frightfully owing to the many distractions and interruptions that have held me back.
 l do not know whether to be glad or to be sorry that came down here. My main object was to boil out about one halt- barrel of whale oil and upon my arrival 1 consulted a doctor. He spent two whole days in vain endeavor to find something the mat ter with me, but was forced to reluc- tantly glve it up. It was a great shock to him not to. discover in me some of the complaints that have made 1 Hot Springs famous and he has treat ed me cooiy ever since.
 l began by taking baths and doing road work like a prize fighter. dieted, went shy on water, and made myself thoroughly miserable and at the end of three weeks had lost eight pounds. l paused one day to get my breath and gained half of it back. l have quit now for good and take my exercise in rocking chair. The only thing l have reduced is my bank roll and 1 figure those eight pounds will stand me about $lO0 per pound by the time 1 get back to New lorh-pretty nearly worth my weight in gold,
 This is a great town. There is only two classes of citizens, viz: the pro- fessional and non-profesional. The first are the doctors and the second are the bath house attendants. Both are prosperous.
 Any visitor who arrives without the aid of crutches is an object of hatred to both classes and you are not vel come unless you navigate in wheel chair.
 The nigger attendant who hasn't at least a TOW of flat buildings is a drunkard or spendthrift. The other day mine gave me a poor mouth about hard times and low tips so l slipped him a couple of dollars extra and that very afternoon his coachman nearly ran over me. ....
 l wish you were coming east this summer. will be very busy as I have lots of work laid out and have to keep doing next winter. I have to go to Panama and get the stuff for a Panama story. I am going to let Alaska ride for while as 1 will have three Alaska volumes when the Silver Horde is published and would like to widen my range.
 Keep digging at the hole, Jack, and we will foregather somewhere, some

Especial to the Mohaye County Miner by G. M. Sparkes)
 1 Prescott, Arizona, June 22nd: Cow boys and contestants are arriving daily in the Mile High City, anxiopsly wait ing for the opening of the big From tier Days contests, July 3-45-6th. At tracted by the fair, square manner in which these contests are conducted and by the fact that every dollar ad- vertised is every dollar paid, these men have come from great distances to test their skill in the contests which represent their daily life on the, range
 Lone Overton, fresh from contests held in Texas and New Mexico, stated that he had drifted with Mccarthy Brothers outfit of Texas as far south as Atlanta, Georgia, where he met Cheyenne" Riser and his outfit which left Phoenix recently. According to Overton, Cheyenne" put on "wild one at Atlanta, having received per mission to shoot up the town as an advertising stunt, but which scared the Southerners so badly that the gate receipts of the first day showed plain ly that the Arizonans failed Tn thelr decoy. They are returning for the Frontier Days as quickly as possible. Overton entered eight New Mexican cowboys in the Words Championship bronco riding and roplng.
 Bringing in thirty-five head of the widest, ornerest and meanest outlaws from the far ranges of Lonesome Val ley and Mingus Mountains, A. l.. Lovelady, foreman of the Frontier Lays, together with a party of twen- ty cowboys, all prospective contes- lants, spent five days in the saddle. As many as 250 head of wild horses were gathered in one lot, the cowboys making the trip to get properly exer- cised for the coming wild horse races.
 Everything is in readiness for the opening of the contests. Prescott is planning on entertaining the largest crowd In it's history and 1t is now def initely known that the number of con- testants will exceed those of 1921. Low excursion rates will be in effect from all points.

.CRANTHAM HITTING KING" Of SERIES

George Grantham has now started to startle the Western League with his hitting Jas he did last year in the Northwest and Coast Leagues. !, The Omaha Bee of the 14th says in speaking of the double header play ed that day: "Grantham's hitting was a big feature of the day as he secured eight out of nine times up."
 The Bee for the 18th says:, Gran tham started the scoring for Omaha In the first when he hit one over the right field fence with none on. Omaha increased the lead to two runs in the sixth when Grantham again parked the ball in deep center for his third circuit clout in two days"
 In the issue of the 17th, Grantham's picture is run for the second time this year and says: "Grantham who has been the hitting king in the series here, cracked out a triple over the first bay, scoring his mate."
 Grantham has started again-that is a cinch and will without doubt be leading the Western League soon if he is not already. And in doing this he will be but repeating past perfor mances on the coast.
 In all probability Grantham will be taken to Detroit before the season is over and there he will get his chance among the big ones and make good. , In the box scores of the various games We also note that he went through the past several games with out an error.
 We are wishing you luck, George, and lots of it."
