Publication note for a Benson Arizona weekly edited by L. Rucker, published Saturdays. Includes entry date of May 12, 1906 as second class matter and subscription price of two dollars per year.
The Benson community shows cooperative spirit during Fourth of July events. The note discusses Senatorial ambitions of Ralph Cameron contingent on campaign funds, local water trough plans and road needs to connect Benson with downstream towns, and a favorable Board of Supervisors response to road rebuilding. Also covered is the annual Fish Distribution by the Bureau of Fisheries, urging Arizona residents to apply for stocking fish, with blanks provided by Congressman Hayden and free delivery to rail stations.
Olney came from Texas as a boy, built a cattle business, and held key offices in Graham County. He served as deputy sheriff, sheriff, mayor of Safford, county supervisor, territorial council member, and territorial board of equalization. He played a pivotal role in tax elevation of mining properties, defending original assessments and later aiding broad territory raises.
The Bureau of Fisheries aims to stock minor ponds and interior waters with fish to boost food production. Currently no Southwest hatchery exists and fingerlings go by rail cars. A House bill by Congressman Hayden seeks $50,000 to establish a fish hatchery in Arizona, improving stocking facilities.
The text urges fairness in election to governor of Arizona and appeals to voters with a motto promising justice to all. It mentions coupons at stores and a piano contest for a favorite girl, then advertises Skrene doves and wire screens to protect against pests and notes Berson Lumber & Commercial Co.
