J. Blanchard received a painful in-
jury Saturday by falling from a wagon.
He was standing in tho back of the
wagon when tho drivcrdrove upon the
scales at Roburts it McKillips and
when tho wagon jolted onto the scales
he lost his balance and fell out over
the end-gate tricking on his head and
lelt shoulder. The fall rendered him
unconscious and he "was picked up and
carried into the store but he soon re-
gained his sensibilities and was able to
walk up home The fall jarred him
uj) considerably and ho suffered some
severe bruises but fortunately escaped
any broken bones and is aboutall right
at this time.
The funniest republican we will
know of will be the one who votes for
Ferguson and Frantz and then votes
against tho constitution Wo confess
we can't see the wisdom of such voting
at all. The constitution of Oklahoma
is going to carry Any man who at-
tended the state convention cannot
doubt that The sign painted on the
band wagon spells the march of eternal
progress. The constitution 'isn't so
hellish black as sonib disgruntled and
whipped politicians would have you
believe. If Oklahoma is to move on
too much attention cannot be paid to
wails of the disgruntled. Now is the
time for all good men to come to the
rescue of tho party. Vote for the con
stitution and the straight republican
ticket. By good systematic campaign-
ing ao can pull the whole ticket
through and don't you forget it It
has been argued that the constitution
could not be amended but it can
Elect republicans to ollice and sec
what happens. In Kansas they have
from one to three amendments ot'ery
election and these amendments curry.
It will bw the same in Oklahoma. A
lot of people in Oklahoma would like"
to have a linger in tho mutter of gov-
ernment and we confess to being one
of them. We want statehood and if
tho Tulsa convention is anything to go
by tliero aro almost seven republicans
to one in the sa.uo boat. Men who
travel the length and breadth of the
territory tell us the signs point one
way. So get your shoulder in the "col-
larand work for tho party and the con-
stitution promising to rectify uny nar-
row provisions the instrument may
contain at the earliest possible oppor-
tunity. Bo a worker not a knocker.

. Typhoid Claims Another .
It is our sad duty again this nook to
chronicle the death of another of Bea-
ver county's most highly respected res'
identa who was called home after a
brief illness of typhoid fever.
Mrs. Susie Broa'lfoot wife of Roy
Broadfoot of Riversidu anil daughter
of J. R. Crabtree of Beaver died at
her home at Riverside Monday Septem-
ber 2d 1007 after an Illness of only
two weeks.
The departed was not a strong woman
and she had just nursed her husband
through a severe spell of fever when
she herself was taken ill and tho previ-
ous strain together with the ravages of
typhoid was more than her frail body
could withstand.
Thir death is particularly 'a sad one
on account of the fact that tho de-
ceased was only a bride of two years
and a young mother of an infant son
live months old.
She was married in Kansas and to-
gether with her husband and baby
came to Beaver county last spring
ouying a homo and were contented and
happy until this illness fell upon them
which robbed the babe in its tender
infancy of I ho loving cure of a kind and
gentle mother and tore from the grief-
strfeken husband tho wife of his bosom
and the companion and sharer of his
heart's only lasting and real joy.
Beside these relatives the deceased
leaves a father J. R. Crabtree and a
brother and sister Jim and Miss Emm
Crabtree in Beaver beside other
brothers and sisterw in other stat.es.
Hor death wub n severe shock to them
for she seemed to bo improving and
they had hope bf hor recovery. Only
a fqw hours before death she felt so
much bettor that she asked if she
night sit up awhile She spent a good
night and seemed apparently improving
when she was taken with hemorrhage
of the bowels and died in a very 'short
time.
Thus it is that when wo are in the
midst of life and hope thou wo ure in
death. How frail indeed is tho brittle
thread of life. In spite of all the care
all the eager anxious yearning and
evory elTort within human power to
prevent yet the thread is snapped
asunder in an instant and all is gone
To the'sorrowing ones we have only
words of tho tendercst sympathy and
in this wo are joined by their legion of
friends; all ' of' whom are eager to do
something or say something that would
lift tho weight of gloom from the
grief-stridkon heart.
Funeral services wore conducted by
Rov. Leonard at tho home 1 o'clock
Tuesday and was attended by a largo
concourse of friends and neighbors
who followed the remains to their
last resting place in the Beaver ceme-
tery. Death From Typhoid.
Mrs Minerva Johnson of Cotton-
wood who hus been ill for some time
with typhoid fever passed away Fri-
day August. 30th. Funeral services
wero conducted by Ruv. Wilson and
interment made in tho Beaver ceme-
tery. Sister Minerva Jordi. n was born in
Keokuk Lee Co Iowa April 20th 1812.
Sho was married Nov. 18th 1801 to Bro.
John Rounds at Monona Iowa. Four
children were born to them Sho was
married again to Bro. Win. Johnson
Nov. 10th 1805 at Alton Oregon Co
Mo. She became a member of the L.
D. S. church about 1857 and in later
years joined the reorganization. Sho
died August 80th 1907 in Beaver Co.

Hero wo enjoyed (he first real pleas-
ure (?) of eainping. Drove in just
ahead of a big rain and barely had time
to take shelter under a big tree when
the wind came up hard and tho clotids
turned inside out. Wo managed to
spend the night very well until about
3 a. m when the mosquitoes begun
presenting their bills We didn't
know we had an account with them
but they seemed to think we did. Talk
about' mosquitoes! There were regi-
ments companies and armies of them
and they didn't need a lantern to find
us either. We chopped off u sack full
of their nippers and are using them for
tent pins. Erma and I made our bed
in a high dry spot wo thought but be-
fore wo got up we didn't know but
that we might turn into water lilies
for we had our bed in a elegant pond
for growing that particular plant. We
ale breakfast in tho tent A minaturo
river (lowed under our table and we
had u hard time to lind a dry phiee for
our feet. Mamma put her feet on tho
dish pan Would have liked to got a
snap shot of it Tho raili continued
all morning and we waded mud shoo
mouth deep. Such is life though on a
camping excursion and wo can't kick.
We have had exceptional weather
though for tho trip ami think we have
been extremely fortunate. Camped
to-night in sight of Pueblo and could
see the Haines from tho smellers. It
was a pretty sight to see the red ro-
licutioirofdho llatnes on tho overhang-
ing clouds of black smoke. Spent a
pretty good night and got un early
start this morning.

July 27th Saturday.
Tho rain of yesterday and last night
made the roads heavy and we made
slow time this morning only drovo
about 14 miles. Passed through some
line country and a big fruit section in
a good season. For 10 or 15 miles this
sidoof Pueblo the valley is all cut up
into small garden farms and about
everything is grown. It. is an Italian
settlement Thoy have good farms
but poor houses. About all that is
worth mentioning about the house is
the big bako ovens made outside in
cono shape and in which thoy do most
of their cooking. There is no danger
of Race Suicide among the Italians.
Tho families aro big and dirty but they
do know how to farm and garden.
livery youngster large enough to han-
dle a hoe does so. We drove into Pu
eblo early and decided to camp over
Sunday.
Pueblo Colo.
July 28th Sunday.
Coming into Pueblo we passed
through (he smelter regions. One
immense smoke stack after another
reached up towards Heaven and they
belched forth such adense black smoke
that a dark cloud always overhangs
the city. The smelters are kept run-
ning day and night and three shifts of
men work eight hours each. The
refuse after the ore is taken out is
piled up almost to the height of
mountains. A great deal of it is also
used for rtilroad track ballast and it
.makes a flue road-bed. The combined
output of these smelters is wonderful
and they together with big steel works
furnishes employment for thousands.
Pueblo is truly the Pittsburg of the
West. It is noted for having the larg-
est pay-roll of any city in the world.
We went pretty well over the city
Sunday and saw all the points of inter-
est. Visited Mineral Puluco where
there is on display many historical
relics us well as specimens of all kinds
and grades of ore in their natural state.
A largo Silver Queen in her chariot
stands at one side of the spacious stage.
This is madoof pure coin1 silver and
represents a cost of $7f000.00. On
the.opposito side stands the Coal King
from Trinidad. He sits on his' high
throne and seems to reign as Monarch
of all ho surveys. To Beavor county
people who have to"" pay $12.00 to $15.00
per ton for coal it is nothing wonder
ful that King Coal should reign su-
preme. Coal is always King in lk'iiver
county. Neur tho door of the Pulace
stood u slab from an old Cottonwood
t ree which was cut down in 1882. This
was a massive tree and one of the
historic spots of tho west. Under its
branches a big band of Mexicans were
massacred by the Indians It is said
that fourteen men wore hanged at
different times from one of its branehesf
The first white woman to die in Colo-
rado was buried undor this tree. It

This place was also tho scene of many
Indian massacres of the whites and
was probably the sceno of moro blood-
shed than any one spot in tho West

Our anxiety to reach Colorado

quarters got us up bright and early
and wo were soon on our way. The
country between Colorado Springs is
rough and broken and is occupied
principally by big ranches. We were
in sight of tho mountains all day and
camped at night 1'2 miles out from
Colorado Springs seemingly right at

relatives from Missouri who will join
us so have not been out to the mount-
ains yet. Colorado Springs is aB you
know a resort town almost exclusively.
I suppose at least one half of its popu-
lation is made up of tourists who come
and go continually. There are trains
in and out of here from various places
ovory five minutes and all of them aro.
crowded. The trains are small usually
about one chair car two Pullman's and
a baggugo. Of course some of them
are big trains but tho majority aro
small. Tho country around Colorado
