These are hot days to push the pen.
ell over page after page of "dope" In-
tended for the betterment of the coun-
ty in general and the little city in
which tho Herald is striving to eek
out an cxlstance in particular but
wo'll get far hotter some of theso days
when an alarm of fire Is given and wo
nun down town to save a few handful i
of our earthly possessions and see the
rest go up in smnko but just as sure as
"death and taxes" wo'll have it to do
somo of these days for Its already been
our experienco once and that of all tho
towns around us not supplied with au
adequate waterworks system and ilrc-
fightlng apparatus Last week we made
an appeal to our people to take some
steps toward providing protection
against lire by taking up a waterworks
proposition but It was just like pouring
water on a duck's back. Nobody gavo
it enough at'ontion to even tll
us they read the article and what they
thought of it but it is a subject wo can-
not afford.to lose sight of just the same
and for that reason we want to urge
its importance upon our readers again
this week.
For tho most part Beaver citizens
are alert to their best Interests and
that of the town but they are making
a fearful mistake in this one particular
and unless something is done we are
going to regret it same day. We can't
afford to run the risk we are running
in regard to no lire protection. It is
too big a responsibility for us to shoul-
der and particularly when it could be
disposed of so easily and at such a com-
paratively small expense per capita.
If we are awake to our interests we
will not try to do so much longer.
There is not a home nor business con-
cern which would -be affected by the
Installing of au adequate waterworks
system but what would be benefited
many times over their expenditure re-
quired to secure such to say nothing of'
the decrease in tire insurance rates
whlchnt tho present time are almost
prohibitive. At a rate of $9.50 or bet-
ter per $100.00 one can almost afford to
run the risk for it is "six one aud a
half dozen the other" no insurance
and lose all to the tiro or no fire and
give it all to tho insurance company
Wo trust those most interested will
give this matter more than passing
thought. Let's make an effort to suve
our proporty before it is too late. It
would require only a reasonable bond
issue to secure a system which would
give us ample protection water for
our homes and yards and places of
business and lower insuranco rates
from one-fourth to one-third of the
present rate. Think it over and let's
see if something can't be done

FAIR
Officers Elected and Steps Taken to Incorporate.
PREPARING FOR
The matter of organizing a Beaver County Fair Association
has been under way for some time and tho preliminary work has
been going along in a very satisfactory manner. Considerable
stock in the organization has been sold and enough to guarantco
the success of the enterprise.
A meeting of the stockholders and others interested was called
at the Court House Friday night of last week and tho matter of or-
ganization and election of officers was taken up. Tho following
wore tho officers chosen:
President Dr. L. L. Long.
Vice-President J. W. Webb.
Secretary F. C. Tracy;
Treasurer J. II. Crabtrco
Directors Frank Laughriu J. W. Culwell D. P. Miller II. D.
Peckham and W. L. Mason.
These men arc all workers and pushers and those who know
them and everybody doss knows that anything which they are
behind is bound to go forward. A better set of promotors could
not have bson chosen and we lmve full confidence that the project
will be most carefully taken care of by them.
A committee on by-laws was also named being F. C. Tracy
W. T. Quinn and Judge R. II. Loafbourrow. These gentlemen arc
qualified to take care of this end of tho work and will do so.
Extensive plans are being made by those who have the mattor
in charge and tho fair grounds will bo improved and placed in
shape to take care of every feature of tho big event being planned.
Tho Fair will probably be held the early jnrt of October. Tho
work will go forward from this time on and by the time for the
gates to open everything will be in readiness for tho biggest event
of the kind over held in tho county.
Beaver county has had two good fairs being the Farmers' In-
stitute Fairs of 1910 and 1011 but tho Beaver County Fair of 1012
promises to eclipse them all. Conditions are more favorable this
year crops are better and more extensive plans are being made.
Farmers and all those who may have products to exhibit
should commence now to make preparations for tho fall festival.
Carefully preserve the best of airyou have in home garden and
field and plan to capture-some of the valuable prizes which will be
offered. Give that stock which you expest to exhibit a little more
careful attention and house-wives prepare some of your canned
fruit jelly preserves and needlework for exhibition. Let us all
get interested in making a big showing for Beaver county this fall.
First Wheat by Rail From
Beaver County
Many of our citizens some being res-
idents of tho county for more than
twenty-five years last week witnessed
tho first shipping of Beaver county pro-
duct! to the markets by rail when
shipments of wheat and oats were made
from Gate and Knowles over tho W. F.
& N. W. Railroad now completed to
those points and handling business and
which will soon perhaps by the end of
this week be extended in'o Forgan.
It corthinly is a great sight and a grat-
ifying one to Beaver county residents
and producers In particular to be able
to Bee a Beaver county railroad haul-
ing off our productn and homo buyers
reaping the benefits of our productions.
For years we have been paying tribute
to foreign concerns being compelled to
market our goods out of the state aud
otton at cut-throat prices now we can
deal at home and if tho man who has
anything to sell or wishes to buy any-
thing is wise ho will deal at home.
Sell your goods In Beaver county ! Buy
your goods in Beaver county! All
things considered you will be treated
hotter than at other out-of-the county
markets and you will at the same time
be building up your own county re-
ducing taxes and loyal to the land you
call "Home."
Beaver hasn't got a railroad yet but
Wv'll get one some day mind that and
when we do we'll expect every moth-
er's son. and daughter too within our
trade territory to deal here as long as
they on get a square deal and if they
don't do It we'll consider them a tra
itor and a common enemy to their
county's interest. We feel the same
way about thoW F & N. W .although
unfortunately it misted us and tho
prosperous little towns along its right-
of way. Not one bushel of Beaver coun-
ty grain should be shipped out of the
county except over Beaver county's
railroad and our home buyers should
get the proiit it there is ono to be
made. Bo loyal to Beaver county
A (on of Win. Richardson! formerly
nf Clear Creek was here Monday from
Trinidad Colorado on business. Ho
informed us that his father is now in
Brazil South America where he is
employed by a large cattle concern.
ASSOCIATION ORGANIZED.
GRAND EVENT.
Jury Says Evidence Not Suf-
ficent. Thn case of Lynn Doty of Gate who
was charged with violating the liquor
law in selling liquor by the drink and
by the bottle on the street of Gate
came up for hearing in the County
Court this week. Tin bane was tried
hy a jury composed of W.ll Palmer
T. L. Floyd Wm. White W. L. Mason.
D. P. Miller and Olydo Gregg. At-
torney J. W. Culwell appeared for the
defendant und County Attorney John
A. Spohn prosecuted the ease.
H O. Honhicko witness for the
prosecution testified that ho purchased
for 25 cents each two drinks of liquor
from the defendant in front of the
pool hall at Gate and drank the same
but ho would not swear that it was
'intoxicating liquor." John DeSpain
deputy sheriff testified that he saw
Hcnnicke purchase and drink the liq-
uor and that Doty then sold tho re
mainder of the contents or the bottle
to a stranger whom DeSpain did not
know for $1.00 The stranger went
away and was not secured for a wit
ness. Deputy Bheriff DeSpain placed
Doty under arrest and instituted a
search of a tent which he was using as
his abode. In the searcli ho found
eight quart bottles and two jugs all
empty.
nil) ueicnuant uiu not testily mi
present auy witnesses in his own be
half.
The jury deemed the evidence in
sumcient to convict and returned a
verdict of acquital.
It seems liko mighty hard business
to convict a man of tho "bootlegger"
class for he has two many colleagues.
Those who have convicting evidence
will not testify prefering to perjure
themselves rather than tell the truth
aud in that case it ties the hands of
thoso who would curb lawlessness and
bring the offender to justice. Therj
is a duty tho decent respectable law-
abiding citizens have (o perform in
putting a quietus to this "bootlegging"
business and until they do it all tho
Judges Juries and Prosecutors in the
land cannot convict offenders It Is
one thing to prosecute but It takes evi-
dence to convict and those who have
it if they are honorable will give it
regardless of who It affects'.
