OUR LEGISLATIVE TICKET
Jerry Millay, candidate of the republi
cans of this county for the territorial
council, needs but little introduction to
the voters of the county, having been a
resident of Phoenix since 1SS2, and hav
ing stmnpPd the county time and again
both in his own behalf and in the in
terest of the party candidates. He was
born in Maine in lFul and is therefore,
by a narrow margin, on the sunny side
of life, but possesses a disposition that
will cause the sun to shine for years to
come, even through the lengthening
shadows. As he is wont to say he is "of
Irish extraction and from poor but
honest parents." He entered Dowdoin
college in 1S72 and after his rchool life,
drifted west, where he roughed it for
a number of years up and down the
MissirslppI valley. Returning to Bath,
Maine, he was admitted to the bar in
1ST", was married in 1S7S and came to
Phoenix in 1SS2. In he began the
practice of law here and was appointed
assistant United S'.atts district attorney
under Gen. ZtYbriskie in 1X84, serving for
two years. He was the first judge ad
vocate general of the 'territory, being
appointed to that office oa 'the staff of
Governor Irwin and served through hi.s
administration and that of his succes
sor. Governor N. O. Murphy. He was
elected to the office of difftrirt attorney
of this county, serving in 1&!'5 and 1S3,
since which Hme h? has been engaged
in his private law practice. Politically
he has been a republican from the be
ginning and while he lived in the states
was privileged to vcte for Grant. Hayes
and Garfield. He came to Arizona In
a day when, reput Means were scarce
and has stood for his principles
whatever the result. As a campaigner
he hes ever met with favor, being a
clear speaker and sugar-coating his
sound logic with a 'fund of good humor.
His style Is vigorous and aggressive,
but not offensive. As a member of the
next council he will command the re
spect and confidence of his constitu
ency, and being well versed in the law
there can be no question of his com
petency. W. A. FOWLER.
Mr. II. A. Fowler, republican candi
date for the legislative assembly, came
here from Chicago about two years ago
and bought one of the best ranches in
the vicinity of Glendale. Mr. Fcwier
has been connected with a prominent
brsinfn louse in Chicago for years.
He was on his way to California to seek
ft rural no-no when he heard references
to the 55a. River valley on the train
and concluded to run down here from
Ash Fork and see if the reports of the
desirability of this region were correct.

than locate here. Inside of a week he
bought the ranch in Glendale and took
Immediate possession. The advantages
of this region have grown up'in him
and he has done much to spread a
knowledge of the valley in the east.
Mr. Fowler is chairman of the
water storage committee and to
this efforts is due much of
the interest displayed in the water
storage question. He is nr't a politician 1
in the accepted sense of the term, but
he believes that it is the duty of a citi- 1
zen to take an interest in public mat
ters and for that reason he accepted the
nomination conferred upon him by the
republican convention. It goes without
saying that if Mr. Fowler Is elected,
and we have no doubt that he will be,
lie wMI bring to his duties ripe business
e xperience and a determination to work
for the best Interests of Arizona and the
Salt Kiver valley. Mr. Fowler will be
a leader in the assembly and Maricopa
county will have reason to congratulate
Itself on his presence there.
SAMUEL BROWN.
The nomination by the republicans of
Samuel Brown of Tempo to succeed
himself as a member of the territorial
assembly Is a fitting compliment to
deserving man. Mr. Brown was looke 1 !
upon as one of the working members of
the last legislature. Though seldom on
his feet, when he ii:l rise to address
the speaker he was .given respectful at
tention, for he spoke not idly but to'
the point. Mr. Brown is a thoroughly
i om-ricntious man and one whose pub
Pic service is a private business s.icii-!
(ice. He is a capable representative of
the working classes, being himself :,
suuivly blacksmith. He is also an able.
representative of the; .Spanish -Auieri-
can citizens and one who has always
been held in the highest esteem. He Is
not a 'professional speech-maker but
tie is fully competent to talk when he
has something -to say and he is a man
of deeds rather than words. When there
is a "scheme" on hand Sam Brown'3
help is not solicited, as it is a foregone
conclusion that he is aligned on the
o.Cier side. With M3 previous experi
ence he is better fitted than ever to per
for.n 'the duties that in aH probability
will devolve upon him. after election
cay.
A. P. SHEW31AX,
In the apportionment of the represen
tation of the different sections of the
county in the territorial legislature It is
but fair that two should come from the
south side of the river. Recognizing
this fact the republicans Tiave placed
before the people Mr. A. P. Shewman of
Mesa City and no better selection of a
6andard bearer could have been made.
Mr. Shewman is an experienced law
yer, a successful business man, a soci
able and agreeable gentleman and a
man against Vhose record, either pub
lic or private, northing can- be said. He
has served the territory faithfully and
wevl as superintendent of public in
struction, and his services have always
been given in the line of progress and
the development of the resources of the
'territory. He is an old resident and
fully alive to the necessities, not only of
this county, but of every county in
Arizona. He is energetic in his under
takings, thoroughly reliable and fully
aware of the responsibilities of the trust
sought to be reposed in him. A vote
for him -will be to good purpose.
THOMAS ARMSTRONG, JR.
The nomination of Thomas Arm
strong, Jr., for the assembly was one of
the happiest events of the county con
vention. Mr. Armstrong is a lawyer
of repute and -euecefssful experience.
After having been a prominent educa
tor in Illinois he went into the law,
which he practiced there with great
profit. He came to Phoenix about
seven years ago and since then has ac
quired a practice secoawl to none in the
city. Though always an ardent repub
lican, Mr. Armstrong gave out some
years ago that he had no time to devote
to politics. In this case he has been Im
pressed 'by his party Into political ser-(
vice. He reluctantly consented to be a
candidate for office. It was represented
to him that in, the coming legislature
men with legal knowledge and business
habits were especially desired for the
service not of the party but for the
whole territory. So at great personal
sacrifice he has entered the contest and
is devoting his time and energy to it
the same as he would do if it were a
legal contest, or a business affair. The
honor or dishonor of a seat in the legis
lature, and most of the seats in the
Arizona legislature for several years
have been dishonorable, is not taken
into consideration. If Mr. Armstrong
and other men like him are elected
next November the standard of Arizona
legislatures will be considerably raised.

BLOOD
We live by our blood, and
on it. We thrive or starve, as
our blood is rich or poor.
There is nothing else to live
on or by.
When strength is full and
spirits high, we are being re
freshed, bone muscle and brain,
in body and mind, with con
tinual flow of rich blood. This
is health.
When weak, in low spirits,
no cheer, no spring, when rest
is not rest and sleep is not
sleep, we are starved; our blood
is poor; there is little nutri
ment in it.
Back of the blood, is food, to
keep the blood rich. When it
fails, take Scott's emulsion of
cod-liver oil. It sets the whole
body going again man woman
and child.
We'll send ymi a little to try, if you like.

REBELLIOUS RICH MAN
The Gray Haired Cowboy Whose
Ghsck is Worth 1-4 Million
He Has a Wife, a Home and Estates in
Town, But He Prefers His Lonely
Life and Rough Friends of the
Plains.
He owns a railroad and will not ac
cept a pass over it.
He owns a palatial residence and will
not live in it. preferring to live in a
hut.
He owns a large clothing store which
he has never been inside of, nor patron
ized to the extent of sending in an
order for a suit of clothes.
He wears overalls and a denim
blouse instead.
He has a beautiful wife whom he sel
dom sees. She loves society and lives
in the fine house and spends money for
a good time. He associates with cow
boys out on the prairie and has no in
clination towards the gayeties and
comforts of civilization.
He is one of the richest men in the
Northwest, yet he goes about with
empty pockets and lives the life of a
common cow puncher at an expense jf
less than fifty cents a day.
He owns a $10,000 flour mill, which he
has never seen the inside of; and two
othef stores that are run by agents
whom he seldom communicates with.
He has Vi million dollars to spend as
he might please, but instead of spend
ing any of it he does a laborer's stint
on a cattle ranch and takes "pot luck"
with the rough cattle drivers in as
humble a capacity as the next man to
him at table.
His name Is Abner Robbins, and his
home proper is in the town of Union,
Ore. There is where his wife lives,
there is where much of his capital is
invested: his railroad runs that way,
and his flour mill stands in the near
vicinity.
But that is not where Abner Robbins
chooses to spend the most of his life.
The neighboring town of Drewsey
contains a major part of the old man's
holdings, yet he seldom goes to Drew
sey. About six miles from this latter
named town is a log cabin 10x12 feet in
sizs a cabin of one room, with chinks
in the walls and no windows or doors
except pieces o cloth or boards picked
up by chance to serve the purpose. It
is a crude habitation so crude that
only a wealthy man could live in it con
tentedly. A common cowboy would
have improved it long ago. He would
have put in windows and made a hand
somer door.
Robbins Is a lover of nature a latter-day
Thoreau without the old Thor
eau's theories to work out or to live up
to, but with a more genuinely finished
nature perhaps and a less artificial as
piration in his reach toward the trees
and the hills and the independent
livelihood of a huntsman.
Is he a crank?
Does a An.k accumulate a quarter
of a million and keep it?
It Isn't on record.
He has made his fortune by hard
work, and he is working hard today
and making the fortune grow making
it fel the weight of a strong hand and
brain back of it. Yet he is no miser.
A miser does net get out among tin"
boys and take off his coat and become a
boon companion, with a "hail fellow
well met," and a merry string of yarns
to spin over the camp fire in the eve
ning. So far is he from being stingy
that his friends know- him throughout
Eastern Oregon as a "good thing" for
speculators and missionaries, and the
following is but one of many similar
stories they have to tell of him when
you ask about the old man's tightness
of fist:
Abner Robbins has never refused to
help a poor man both with money and
supplies. And he will divide his last
loaf with a friend. He spent $10,000
just to humor the whims of a friend.
As yet there is but title wheat raised
in this section of country. A smooth
talking drummer came along and con
vinced one of Robbins's friends that a
big flouring mill would pay at Drew
sey; that if a mill was built the ranch
ers would turn their attention to rais
ing wheat. The friend became enthu
siastic and sought Robbins's assistance.
The latter explained that it would
not pay; that it would be years be
fore wheat would be raised in this sec
tion to any extent; that irrigation
would be necessary, and that this wou'.a
require time. But the friend saw all
kinds of fortunes In a flouring mill and
insisted. Robbins became impatient
and said:
"Well, go ahead and build your mill
and I'll pay for it, just to show you
that you are wrong."
The friend believed in putting in a
good one while he was at it and ordered
the very best machinery from OhL.
A four story building was erected, a
ditch was dug along the banks of th
middle fork of the Malheur river, and a
turbine wheel was put in and as fin-.? a
mill completed as was ever constructed
of the same capacity. Before the water
was brought to the wheel the projector
of the mill became impatient and pur
chased a large steam engine and t
mill was started. It was run a fc.v
months at a dead loss and then shut
dowu. It now stands there, the win
cow frames all knocked in by n.'.s
chievous boys, the machinery rusti:i.
and going to wreck, without a dollar's
insurance on it. Robbins paid, the bil"
without a murmer, for he firesaw the
end in the beginning. He has never
been inside the mill and never speaks
of it, although the road from Drewsey
to his cabin lies along by the side of tha
mill.
The bed in his cabin is a marvel of
its kind; so is the arrangement for
cooking the bacon and beans which
Robbins lives on. Two sides of the
cabin furnish the main support of the
bed one peg does the rest, fitted at
the outer corner at the foot and nail-nl
to the floor. A couple of rails complete
the outfit, excepting the covering,
which consists of a bedraggled mat
tress and some well-worn blankets.
The cooking facilities are a rude ston:
fireplace, a coffee pert, frying pan and
kettle.

place, does his own cooking, makes his
own bed, cleans house, washes dishes
and acts as general maid of all work
for himself.
Despite the fact that Abner Robbins
has unlimited credit all over Eastern
Oregon, his friends claim that he never
owed a dollar in his life, never signed
a mortgage or a note, never bought a
cent's worth of goods on credit, even
out of his own stores.
Another almost incredible thing they
tel! of Abner Robbins is that he never
took a drink of liquor in his life. To
have lived so long among cowboys, to
have been so fond of their rough life,
and yet not having acquired a cowbov's
liking for the flowing bowl is a re
markable commentary on the man's
Independence of taste and strength of
will.
Once a year he goes home to visit his
pretty wife, who is always glad to ee
him. She writes him pleading letters
to came and stay with her, to give up
his cowboy life, to settle down to a life
of ease. But Abner shakes his nend.
Once a year is enough, he says, and
once a year regularly he makes h:r a
visit until he can't stand it any longer
and must stalk back to his prairie.
"A man can live there," he tells her.
expanding his chest and striking it
soundly, as if there wasn't enough ulr
in the city to fill It. "We are strong
men out on, the prairie. Let me go I
must return to look after our cattle."
It is an alkali desert, this cattle
range of his, and about as cheerless a
region as one might choose for outdoor
life. Robbins doesn't consider the
scenic element. It Is mainly the activ
ity of his barren career that satisfies
him. His tremendous energy calls for
a tremendous field of movement and
physical labor, of the kind that thrills
the nerves, bronzes the cheek, invigor
ates the lungs, hardens the frame the
kind that only the great outdoors af
fords. He is never so full of life as
when racing at breakneck speed aft ;r
a refractory fleer, or taking part in a
ground shaking rodeo, lassoing wild
ca.tle for the branding iron, or tearing
over the pathless wild after stock that
has strayed a way and got lost.
And most remarkable of all, Ab icr
Robbins is 7G years old! He was born
in Boston, Mass., in 1833. He was a
shoemaker by trade. He sailed from
Boston and came to Sacramento, Cal.,
in 1853. He mined in California and
was steamboat captain and followed
the mercantile business. He moved to
Jacksonville, Ore., in 1S5S, and drifted
to his present location in 1877. The
Rohbinses had two children. The son
died and the daughter married James
Lucky, with whom she is now living in
Portland, Ore.
Besides being a daring and powerful
rider even at his present age, Abner
Robbins is a musician of much popu
larity among his husky .associates.
He plays the violin while they dano-
and by way of varying the programme
he warms up to the spirit of the com
pany and dances himself a jig gener
ally, for that is his favorite step and
one in which he Is surprisingly profi
cient. He can sing, too, and when th
boys drop into his cabin of an evening
and the violin is brought out the stur
dy old dean of the band joins in as
lustily as any of them and the cabin
roof all but lifts with the volume of it
all. Cranks don't sing and dance for
the pure joy of it as Abner Robbins

DOES IT PAY TO BUT CHEAP?
A cheap remedy for coughs and colds
is all right, but you want something
that will relieve and cure the more se
vere and dangerous results of throat
and lung troubles. What shaH you do?
Go to a warmer and more regular cli
mate? Yes, if possible; if not possi
ble for you, then in either case take the
only remedy that has been introduced
in all civilized countries with success
in severe throat and lung troubles.
"Boschee's Gorman Syrup." It not
only heals and stimulates the tissue? to
destroy the germ disease, but allays
inflammation, causes easy expectora

cures the patient. Try one bottle. Rec

THE FIRST TROUSERS.
The first pantaloons or trousers were
made in Assyria. In the reign of King
Asshut izirpal (8S3-85S B. C.) horses
were introduced in the army as caval
ry. Here, now, was a problem; ths
cavalryman had to have some sort of
a uniform, and it was impossible for
him to wear a skirt and sit astride a
horse. The tailors to his majesty's ar
mies wagged their heads a long time
over this problem, and finally decided
that the only way out of the difficulty
was to cut the cavalryman's skirt from
hem to waistband in both front and
rear, letting each Part, fall on its res-p.'i-t
ive ide r.f tlK 'horse. As can readi
ly be imagined, this split skitt nude an
exceedingly poor nrti.le of clothing.
The law of heredity, however, is full
of surprises; this humble apology for
a garment was destined to be ih"
father of the original pantaloons. St.
